i don't know about the language barrier but i'd highly recommend both DM袋喵 and i调调i on bilibili!!!
the former is incredible at posing/anatomy with a unique (and crazy efficient??) drawing method, while the latter does "art fixing" tutorials featuring a variety of skill levels
Put together a pack of 20+ tileable noise textures I actually use, the same ones behind a lot of the erosion in the materials and UV distortion effects in my tutorials.
Comes with a tutorial on how I use them when building VFX.
A good noise library does more for your materials than people think.

China open-sourced a peanut-sized OCR that parses entire 100-page PDFs in one shot..
It's called Unlimited-OCR. Only 3B params. Runs locally.
Every other OCR tool chops your doc into pages and loses the thread. this one reads the whole thing in a single pass.
→ One-shot "long-horizon" parsing (32K context window)
→ Multilingual, out of the box
→ 93% on the standard parsing benchmark (+6 over baseline)
→ <0.11 error rate past 40 pages
→ Runs 100% locally on your own hardware
→ Works with Transformers, vLLM, SGLang, Docker, Ollama, llama.cpp
Traditional cloud OCR (Textract, Google Vision, Azure Doc Intelligence) costs $1.50–$15 per 1,000 pages.
This runs on your machine. For free. Forever.
Baidu built it explicitly to push DeepSeek-OCR one step further. Already at 1.9M downloads on Hugging Face and most people have no idea it exists yet.
100% open source.
China open-sourced a model that reconstructs any scene in 3D from a regular video, in real-time.
one camera. no LiDAR. 10,000+ frames without falling apart.
just walk around with your camera and watch the entire world get rebuilt in 3D at 20 fps.
→ runs at ~20 FPS on a single GPU
→ Stable over 10,000+ frames
→ Beats optimization-based methods on benchmarks
→ Works on drone footage, driving videos, indoor walkthroughs
100% open source.
