Currently studying Masters in Human centered AI in Technical university of Denmark, interested in 3D vision and Vision Language Models

Previously bachelor student in Lund university
Overall I feel like I am a hobbit that left the Shire (Denmark) and went to Misty Mountains (Norwegian fjords)

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

Turns out Fisher random is very cool !

You can get all sorts of interesting positions (and I don't need to learn openings at all)

Found computer vision paper that starts with :

"In 1957, computer scientist Russell Kirsch and his colleagues at the U.S. National Bureau of Standards
made history by scanning the first digital image. This pioneering work introduced the concept of
the pixel...."

I am sure if we allow models to use calculators it will do math correctly!

Oh wait...

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 🫣

Pro tip :

If you want to save money on a journey from Stockholm to Arlanda Airport you can take Pendeltåg (commuter train) to Märsta station and then bus to Arlanda

I will take around 45-50 minutes, but instead of 340SEK for Arlanda Express you will pay only 43SEK for a single SL ticket

Found a great place for morning trainspotting

Highly recommend btw

Of course it depends on luck but I have found a night train much more enjoyable than "high speed" x2000

To be fair to Sweden, here I was allowed to have Mecenatkort and basically most of the student discounts for transport/shops because of it

In Denmark if I get any public benefits (like even Ungdomskort for transport)

I would be deported 🙃

Sam Altman/Elon mask conflict can be described with this Ukrainian term for which I sadly don't know proper English translation

Checklist for a small-medium sized Swedish city :

1. There is a central square called "the big square" (Stortorget)
2. There is a main street coming from "the big square" called "the big street" (Storgatan)
3. Outside of these two places you would never find people
