Authorship is like parenting: you love all your papers the same and you do not prefer one over the others.

I used the term 'reasoning' a lot in the past but then people exclusively linked it to chain of thought in LLMs and were confused with our work (came to our poster... "but this is not reasoning!").

Soon we will need to abandon the term 'agent' if it does not involve an LLM.

Not all supervisors work like this 😬

Example: we have several CVPR 2021 papers (so, submitted before ChatGPT) with the name "VQA" in the title which I think would fly much better if I had replaced them with "vision-language" since "VQA" as a task became too specific.

He absolutely did! He ranted for some time that "China screws over" the West by producing technology that does not work and they sell it to the gullible. He is insane.

I am so confused! Didn't the president of the US recently state in his Davos speech that China didn't actually use their own solar panels and that they only sold them to "stupid" foreign customers because they didn't believe themselves in this ... "scam"? 🤭

Yes, Feb 3rd ...

Pi day is actually Feb 2nd, since 3.14. = 3.2. when you wrap around months modulo 12 😉

Whenever I come up with paper names I absolute love them. Then one year later I absolute hate them and with hindsight it was a very bad choice. Every single time.

I have added a new tutorial on discrete diffusion models:

Youtube recommendation quality did not yet reach AGI level.

This looks like the video from the original densepose (non wifi) from 2018.

I was a frequent user of Paracetamol for head aches until we started monitoring the CO2 / O2 levels in our house. Not anymore. And I heard similar stories around me. Get some fresh air 😀

In your face, the bitter lesson! 😂

Bonjour Service Free @free1337.bsky.social, je suis abonné à votre box depuis 20 ans. Si je reçois 2 appels de suite me proposant votre service et je leur dis gentiment que c'est pas le peine de m'appeler de manière répétitive, et puis on me raccroche au nez sans commentaire, trouvez vous ça normal?

My Cousin had an MSX and was VERY unhappy. My uncle had been told by the vendor that it was 'much better'. But there was no software...

You know strange people!

I am not that old but I learned to code BASIC and then MOS6510 assembly with a dataset drive. But quickly switched to the Commodore 1541 Floppy

Everything was simple enough to understand everything down to the silicon. I loved it.

The current generation of computer science students is probably the golden one: they are the first be to trained to use AI, and (arguably?) the last to be forced to learn how to code manually, without it.

Like the engineers using slide rules to calculate return trajectories in Apollo 13: love them.

For me this was the absolute pinnacle of architecture. From then on, it went all downhill.

Reminds my of the Villa Wagner I by Austrian Otto Wagner, built in 1886 in Vienna.

For NeurIPS, you need to opt-in if the paper is rejected, as far as I know?

It is CVPR but not ICLR, so while it uses openreview, the reviews are not published. The usage of Openreview does not imply that, it is configurable.

Also, even for ICLR (where reviews are public) this would not change anything, as even there reviews are kept public for withdrawn papers.

Since 2 or 3 conference editions I now see authors withdrawing papers _after_ the decisions have been communicated. Several papers of my batch have been rejected and then later withdrawn by the authors. Why?

You were so ahead of your time.
