Switch to deepface from face_recognition #937

Open Raymo111 opened 3 months ago

Raymo111 commented 3 months ago

The stable release of numpy-2.0.0 on Arch breaks face_recognition (see https://github.com/ageitgey/face_recognition/issues/1573, https://github.com/ageitgey/face_recognition/issues/1574), which hasn't been updated in 2 years (https://github.com/ageitgey/face_recognition/issues/1571). Perhaps howdy could switch to use deepface instead?

deepface seems to be a very promising alternative to face_recognition, but I'm unsure about when we can implement it.
