I think kids at school should have a class on writing tests.

Amy Tobey@renice.bsky.social · 9mo ago

if you can test it you can vibe code it therefore if your tests are manual or fake or meaningless or slow or break a lot you're fucked until you fix that nothing new under the sun

And the answer is 0.9999 for the win. Lower confidence value always gives you worse results for more or less same runtime. More in our RANSAC Tutorial at #ICCV2025

Do you trust RANSAC stopping criterion? - Yes, confidence=0.99 FTW - No, max_iter FTW - WTF are you talking about? Answer in comments.

Introducing DINOv3 🦕🦕🦕 A SotA-enabling vision foundation model, trained with pure self-supervised learning (SSL) at scale. High quality dense features, combining unprecedented semantic and geometric scene understanding. Three reasons why this matters👇

The French often mention the roundabout at Arc de Triomphe as one of the ultimate tests for a self-driving vehicle. I would say that the equivalent for humanoid robots would be to unwrap Chupa Chups Lollipop. Take that Embodied AI!

I'm still puzzed by what type of memory would allow for such behavior: The girl disappeared for several seconds after full occlusion (sec. 13-14), however appeared once more at the end of the video. So it is clearly not LSTM style memory. Any ideas?

It will be really cool to see what people can create when they can create some art of their own world and jump inside it to explore like this

SCMs often assume overly-dense causal graphs in dynamic settings 👉⚽🥎, since any object interaction is a potential causal edge, making them hard to scale. In joint work with @turanorujlu.bsky.social @cgumbsch.bsky.social & Martin Butz we propose a new Causal Process Model to tackle this. Thread👇

Reframing attention as a reinforcement learning problem for causal discovery

Formal frameworks of causality have operated largely parallel to modern trends in deep reinforcement learning (RL). However, there has been a revival of interest in formally grounding the representati...

Reframing attention as an RL problem for causal discovery AI models like GNNs & Transformers can struggle with dynamic causal reasoning. Our work introduces the Causal Process Model (CPM), which reframes attention as an RL problem. Agents dynamically build sparse causal graphs.

It is pointless, but. My US friends - it will not stop after 4 years with next elections. Either you stop it yourself in some way, or there will be no fair elections next time. Democracy is fragile. P.S. If you like what is going on - enjoy.
