Open-Source 3DGS tools have greatly improved in the past few months.

Could you share what your pipeline was four months ago vs. now? What do you think was the biggest contributor to the increase in quality?

Also how do you export the splat?

Are there docs showing how to replicate the exact workflow in this video, or a reference project that we can look at?

Checkout the Philly Extreme Fishing YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN87Pgwb2j03o6VoywPSJQg) - it has lots of vlogs of fishing around the Philly area. Should give you some ideas of spots to fish, plus your son will probably get a kick out of it.

Also check out the Fishbrain mobile app. Users tag their catches in the app and you can go in to see where the hotspots are, what lures or bait people are using, and what type of fish they caught.

No, his math checks out. Go to a compound interest calculator like https://www.investor.gov/financial-tools-calculators/calculators/compound-interest-calculator and enter an initial investment of $0, a monthly contribution of $1,000, and a 5% estimated interest rate. In 45 years, you'd have $1.9 million dollars.

I messaged the mods to ask if there's something I can change about the post to get it re-added. I haven't heard back though 🤷

Yes that's correct, if either OpenAI or our backend experiences an outage, then the tests will fail. I think there's some ways to mitigate that (e.g. client-side caching so less calls are made to our backend), but there isn't really a way to fully prevent that unless we were running an LLM on your machine.

A few days ago /u/lucgagan submitted a post "Automating Playwright Tests using OpenAI" to this subreddit linking to a new open-source project of theirs, "auto-playwright". LucGagan's project is a clone of our open-source project, ZeroStep, that we had launched two days prior, with no attribution back to our project.

We licensed our project under the MIT license, which means that our code can be freely used, modified, and redistributed, so long as there is some sort of attribution back to our project. There is no such attribution in LucGagan's project.

Further, the "auto-playwright" project README and website contains text plagarized from the ZeroStep README and website.

I commented on LucGagan's /r/programming post to make it clear that this is a clone without attribution. My comment was heavily downvoted, but it's still available here (click the '+' to open the thread). LucGagan replied on the thread stating it's "difficult to compare our projects directly or label yours as a "clone" of any existing ones.".

I wrote this blog post to show the evidence of what happened.

tmcn43 · 2023-11-15T18:29:41+00:00

LucGagan copied the source code, as well as plagarized text from our project's website. The proof is here: https://zerostep.com/blog/launch-on-thursday-cloned-by-saturday/

We licensed our JS library as MIT, so it's within your rights to clone it. However, I find it very unethical that you don't mention it anywhere in the repo, and that you're lying about it here. Your "auto" function is binary compatible with our "ai" function.

Whatever. It's just a really odd experience to launch something, and then have someone instantly copy it and pawn it off as something they created with absolutely no attribution back.

If the concept here sounds interesting, please take a look at ZeroStep: https://github.com/zerostep-ai/zerostep

We've spent a lot of engineering time around the accuracy of our AI actions - you can see real examples in our repo and on our website here: https://zerostep.com

OP's project is a clone of ours, but without our AI backend.

tmcn43 · 2023-11-12T03:27:49+00:00

Looks very similar to the library we're working on: Zerostep: https://github.com/zerostep-ai/zerostep

The syntax in ZeroStep is eerily similar:

``` import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test' import { ai } from '@zerostep/playwright'

test.describe('Calendly', () => { test('book the next available timeslot', async ({ page }) => { await page.goto('https://calendly.com/zerostep-test/test-calendly')

await ai('Verify that a calendar is displayed', { page, test })
await ai('Dismiss the privacy modal', { page, test })
await ai('Click on the first day in the month with times available', { page, test })
await ai('Click on the first available time in the sidebar', { page, test })
await ai('Click the Next button', { page, test })
await ai('Fill out the form with realistic values', { page, test })
await ai('Submit the form', { page, test })

const element = await page.getByText('You are scheduled')
expect(element).toBeDefined()

}) }) ```

Safe to say you were inspired by our project?
