supervision is #3 trending repo today and crossed 40k stars a few days ago, we built it to make computer vision dead simple
what would make it even easier? what is slowing you down when building with vision tools?
let us know the features you want, we are working on the roadmap. need your feedback

You might not believe it, but I simply manually annotated over 2,000,000 human body parts with ultra-precise detail. Probably no one else could do that.

Gimme three months and his golf buddies in Florida wouldn’t even vote for him.

🚨BREAKING: Republicans' odds to flipping the Michigan US Senate seat JUMP OVERNIGHT.
Michigan - 2026 US Senate
🟥Mike Rogers 44.3% ( 3.7)
🟦Abdul El-Sayed 40.6%
Polling average via Pollsmax.com.
Abdul El-Sayed has become the Democratic frontrunner, and compared to his primary opponents—Mallory McMorrow and Haley Stevens—he performs by far the worst against Mike Rogers.
If El-Sayed ends up being the nominee, Republicans will be the heavy favorites to flip Michigan's US Senate seat later this year.

What if the whole LLM thing is a false start? If the flaws are inherent systemic problems - if the compounding of hallucinations/errors can't be sorted out? If the capex build out is one of the biggest misallocations of capital ever? Then what? bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

OnlyFans is the main funder of AIPAC. That is neither an exaggeration nor a joke.
A literal pimp - that's what someone who takes a cut from sex workers' labour is - has been paying off our politicians to support Israel and its wars, including now in Iran.
Meet billionaire Leonid Radvinsky, owner of @OnlyFans
and the single top donor to @AIPAC, post-7 Oct.
