My first bike in Denmark got stolen 🎉🎉
I mean partially it was my fault (I left it near the S-tog station for a couple of days)
But I honestly thought that my shitty 100€ bike won't be worth the trouble (clearly I was mistaken)

There is a new night train between Basel and Malmö 🎉
Pros :
1. New night train in Europe
2. Quite affordable at the time of ticket release (seated around 40€, bed in shared compartment starts from 150€)
Cons :
1. The train goes through Germany (meaning no way it will arrive on time)

I am not so sure about the construction cost, considering how damaging the bus of this size to the asphalt below it
When I was living in Lund I saw that almost every year the municipality was changing asphalt near bust stops because of the damage that even regular Man Lions City were doing

Smart tram in Zhuzhou, China. Follows markings on the road, so construction costs are way lower. Basically bus rapid transit but with the option for huge buses.

Do I understand correctly the trend that almost every new model in Computer vision is at least "Foundation model"
And if it is generative, then it is "World model" ?

I always knew that politicians are not required to have a relevant education to work in some specialized Ministries (like Energy/Agriculture etc)
But being a Minister of Higher Education and Science without having a higher education is borderline comical 🙃🙃

Today I took a photo with a newspaper TO PROVE TO SWEDISH MIGRATION AGENCY THAT I HAVE LEFT SWEDEN SO THEY CAN CANCEL MY APPLICATION
If I don't do that they will issue an expulsion decision (make it make sense please 🫠)

I actually got introduced to the concept of inputting "text" as "image" from this paper :
arxiv.org/abs/2207.06991 and subsequent papers from Desmond Elliot who is working on Pixel language models in University of Copenhagen

I think one interesting problem I encounter being a Masters student during LLM-age is how to determine what knowledge requires deep-level understanding (and for example doing things from scratch) and what requires only a superficial understanding and can be automated using LLMs ->

Expectation:
AI companies will train new models to achieve human-like intelligence.
Reality:
AI companies will dumb people down through AI generated slop to the level of models.
Well, overall, it's also a valid path to achieving AGI (and probably cheaper, too)

Decided to take courses in Rendering and Graphics at Uni to potentially use knowledge of CG in vision (synthetic data generation for 3D and other cool stuff)
Currently trying to understand how to draw a triangle 🫣

To be honest this was an eye opening experience.
I had some idea that curating datasets is hard, but I didn't know it was THAT HARD
I probably made 100 mistakes along the way, but it was worth it
The next goal is probably to create a VQA benchmark for EuroEval and QA datasets to VLM training

Hi everyone! We (Me and @kennethenevoldsen.bsky.social ) have created the first large image–text dataset for Danish that goes beyond captions by incorporating more context for each image (full-text Markdown and the nearest paragraph) ->

My friends are starting a startup to help students book and plan trains in Europe.
If you have three minutes to spare and you're a student, below this post is a form you can fill out (you could potentially win an Amazon gift card and help the guys out get into incubator/investors radar)

Just two days ago I thought that I wanted to experiment with torch.compile just to get sense of what is going on there
I still think that I want, but probably should lower my expectations
