Just a little bit of feedback: some items on the main page are duplicated, which could be confusing. For example, "nginx-advanced" appears as updated both 3 days ago and 2 hours ago.

One of those is the image, one is a Helm chart using that image. The chart has an label and icon for chart but obviously we need to make this clearer :)

Thanks for the feedback!


So it started sucking almost a decade ago, checks out in my experience

Windows media player always sort of sucked. I remember when I discovered mplayer. What a breath of fresh air by comparison. ostensibly worse, with it's barely there user interface. But... all it did was play video, it would play anything, no more faffing about with installing codecs or different programs for different formats. No annoying ui that tried too hard to look like a piece of hi-fi gear.

I am not sure exactly what happened to it, it's maintainer moved on to other projects I imagine, it's current equivalent is probably mpv


The article mentions W11 24H2 but that might have been the only update the article had if it was first published much earlier. Might have even been an advance warning about AC-3 even before 24H2 was released.

Otherwise looks a bit deceptively like new findings just because the date at the top of the page says June 18, 2026 :\


If I have to choose between no PR and a "drive-by PR" where the author doesn't understand the changes to have a discussion, or isn't available to do changes and expects me to "take it from there", then I'd much rather go with "no PR" for the sake of everyone.


So is Fable 5 so "good" that I barely noticed any difference when switching back to Opus 4.8, or is it because it's actually Fable 5 now?


I concur with all said by many on the distinct better quality of output and "feel" of Fable. Could indeed be placebo, of course.-

Two additional things are clear:

- This calls for even better ways, to objectively benchmark these systems

- Such benchmarking will get harder and harder to do in any objective way, as these systems approach actual intelligence.-


Afaik, the EU hasn't done anything "with" or "to" Apple Intelligence. Apple just keeps shooting themselves in the foot intentionally and then blames the EU for it, writing paragraphs about how hurt they are while mentioning at the very end, in one sentence, that the same features are unavailable in China.

EU has forced Apple to use USB-C for everything earlier than they planned by a few years, and fined them for uncompetitive practices like the ones Epic Games shed light on in US courts.


> One practical detail is worth knowing. The new engine is CPU-only at the moment, so if you select a non-CPU backend and target (for example CUDA or OpenVINO through setPreferableBackend and setPreferableTarget), you will want the classic engine.

So there's room for even better performance!


It's certainly a choice to make your headline feature a new ONNX engine, feature a bunch of comparisons how it's better than ONNXRuntime, while casually mentioning on the side that the cool new much faster engine is CPU-only

Sure, running models on the CPU is very much a thing in computer vision (the benchmarked YOLOv8n has 37M params). But this whole announcement feels more like OpenCV catching up to the modern world, not "The Biggest Leap in Years for Computer Vision"

Still great, needing fewer libraries is a good thing, but maybe a bit oversold


The release post is AI-written with little human oversight and it shows.


I had to stop reading after: "This is not just another incremental release. OpenCV 5 is a major step forward."

If a human can't be bothered to write a piece, I can't be bothered to read it.


It's not just annoying, it's tiring


The endless deluge of AI prose really wears on the soul once you start noticing it.


i initially adopted this line of thinking. after exposure to arguably valid cases like translated articles, it now seems to me that the most efficient path forward (after first noting AI prose) is to scan past all language and evaluate whether or not useful content is encoded within. theres no benefit to anyone (except those benefitting from societal atrophy) in wasting brain cycles on unnecessary verbosity, however blanket rejection necessarily involves loss of valuable information.


I think the only thing that the human did was remove the emdash between the two sentence fragments and replace with a period.


I felt that this was an indication that OpenCV had finally discovered SemVer.


The illustrations couldn't be any more generic-ai


my code, my commit - ugh


This is what I hate about AI. Not that people use it, it's great to accelerate specific workflows, make less mistakes etc. It's just blindly trusting it and just saying "Make a post about a CV library release, make no mistakes" and calling it a day.

Where is the human creativity in writing release notes gone?


No one uses ONNXRuntime (nor the new engine in OpenCV 5) in production. For anything performance-sensitive, one would run models under TensorRT, as an example.


Curious on what backs this assertion. As a counterpoint we’ve been running 200+ models in production for more than 5 years - language models, embedding, classifiers, low tens to hundred M params. Traffic in the order of 1-2M requests/day and everything is enabled by onnx with some cgo (or Rust) plumbing on top. What’s your SLA?


Ahh, I should have probably added some context around my hyperbole. I was referring to real-time computer vision - think of e.g. segmenting FHD/UHD video.


Strong statement to make when I have at least 2 datapoints contradicting it, in SaaS and embedded/robotics.


We use this in production:

https://docs.rs/onnxruntime/latest/onnxruntime/

It’s a Rust wrapper around ONNX Runtime. We currently serve 5+ million inference requests per day for a highly performance-sensitive application, for a long list of major enterprise clients. We don’t use GPUs for inference, because it would be cost-prohibitive. We launch tens of thousands of VMs per day to run these workloads.


how are supposed to use TensorRT on iOS, iPadOS, Android or even Web? Production is not only cloud.


You can use ONNXRuntime with a TensorRT backend, so one does not exclude the other.


Production dosent have to be performance sensitive, so devex may still outcompete the performance differences in some scenarios.


OpenTrack uses it for its AI headtracking, which works extremely well.


I've never understood how anyone comes into contact with it and thinks its anything more than an incredible inconvenience masked as the easy way of doing things. Given it a few good shakes for various uses and regretted the time spent each time


Ummm embedded robotics is all about this. For years.



Well, they're all React apps, even the CLI

(I like React, don't be so easily offended)


Apps:

- Whatsapp

- Proton VPN, Drive, Mail

- Signal

- Obtainium

- Uber

- Podcast player

- etc


Yes but why are they WIP? On a regular Android phone you just install them.


None of the apps listed by GP are identified as works in progress.

This is the full list of WIP apps, from the website.

- Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal.

- Telegram, Messenger, Threema, WeChat and more.

- DUO, Aegis, and BitWarden.



So many of the replies are clearly AI. “That’s not X — it’s Y.”
