Turns out it's a "Software License Agreement" that I'm required to consent to using the on-camera menu buttons before any of the camera's functionality becomes

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Eva AI-Relational Database System for Faster AI-Powered Applications

Show HN: Eva AI-Relational Database System for Faster AI-Powered Applications 28 by jarulraj | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hi friends, We are building EVA, an AI-Relational database system with first-class support for deep learning models. Our goal with EVA is to create a platform that supports AI-powered multi-modal database applications operating on structured (tables, feature vectors, etc.) and unstructured data (videos, podcasts, pdf, etc.) with deep learning models. EVA comes with a wide range of models for analyzing unstructured data, including models for object detection, OCR, text summarization, audio speech recognition, and more. The key feature of EVA is its AI-centric query optimizer. This optimizer is designed to speed up AI-powered applications using a collection of optimizations inspired by relational database systems. Two of the most important optimizations are: + Caching: EVA automatically reuses previous query results (e.g., inference results), eliminating redundant
