Notes from the catchup

weekly meeting #5 - 03/01/2024:

🤖 Auto-pass reCAPTCHA followup

• A follow up of @Toan’s demo ov YoloV8 over Tensorflow.js, using WebGPU as the backend, to do object detection over recaptcha images
• @Toan demo includes image autodetection, keyword detection, object separation, and auto clicking.

🔒 Passkey demo

• A continuation effort with @Tay
• (@Tay) Uses Golang library instead for the backend server
• (@Tay) Different from magic links where it uses JWT token and a verification flow

🚀 Github Trending Analyzer use-case discussion

• @Hieu Scaffolded a repository for scraping web data from GitHub trending, user profile, stars, and contributions
• (@Hieu) Today is more of a general discussion as to what use-cases there should be for the app
• (@Hieu) The application uses TimescaleDB to allow for high ingest rates, currently requires a bit of remodeling and general constraints
