GitHub pulled this repo down for six days.

TikTok built it. Apple ships it inside Core ML now.

It reads depth from one camera. No second lens, no depth sensor.

Point it at a sealed clear container and it reads the whole thing as one solid object.

Comment DEPTH.

A studio charges $75 a second for an architectural walkthrough. Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.1 made this one from one photo of an empty lot.

No video model touched a frame. It wrote the code that rendered it.

Turn a photo into a 3D print without paying for an AI tool.

The tutorial everyone shares runs on an affiliate link. Microsoft open sourced TRELLIS, MIT, doing the same image to 3D step. Run it in the browser.

Add your own supports. It forgets them.

Do not buy the Coral stick until you read this.

Every tutorial says get it. The project that made it famous now calls it "no longer recommended for new installations", except for very low power builds.

Already own one? Keep using it.

Ukraine's Ministry of Defence put teardowns of 115 captured Russian weapons online, and Russia is the one country that cannot read them.

You pay Semrush in the months you never open it.

Semrush is $139 a month. Ahrefs Lite is $129. This one is MIT with no subscription.

The catch nobody mentions: it needs a DataForSEO key, and their minimum payment is $50. Self hosting is not zero.

Comment RANK.

[BillyCoder @BillyCoder]

It can be self hosted. The reading cannot.

Every check goes to the API sold by the same team. The starter key is 250 credits, one time. At the default interval that is 250 days. At the fastest preset, 2.6.

When they run out, checks fail silently.
