And I think Python is an ideal candidate for that + it is also very versatile and then students can pivot in almost every direction

My girlfriend's first language was Java, also a pretty weird choice by her Danish college

Imho the aim of the first programming language should be to guide students into algorithmic thinking without wasting much time on syntaxes/weirdness of individual programming language

Learning (or to be more specific re-learning) C++ for computer vision

Although it was my first language in school (mainly because of competitive programming) I still have no idea why people recommend it as first language instead of Python

Good luck, I am sure it will be interesting to read your perspective

Idk I actually read PhD/Licentiate theses, it is sometimes interesting to see connection between different papers + usually there are more explanations/background than in conference versions

Exactly

Yes I can use some low level features of Swedish language in training)

Good thing that I am actually not that bad at reading Danish because of my B1-nish Swedish, but I have no idea how to understand the speech or how to speak it whatsoever

I think I will try this time to actually manage a workload and not end up in 2 year depression as it was with my bachelor and Swedish learning

Just realized that it means that I need to start learning Danish *day ruined* (\sarcasm)

Everything obtained in less that 2.5 month btw

Would be great if Swedish politicians/Migrationsverket actually copied this part of Danish migration policy

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

I still don't get why companies never fine tune/ hardcode system cards into the model, so it is easier to get information directly from it without looking for some pdf on the website

The most annoying part was traveling with SJ.

Firstly in Sundsvall we have waited 40 minutes because of the personal change problems, because of that we have missed our connection to MalmΓΆ, waited 1 hour in Stockholm.....only to waste
5.5 hours because of Vehicle fault on Stockholm - MalmΓΆ part

I was also thinking about some rail tour along Scandinavia (maybe Oslo to BodΓΈ by train), then by bus to Narvik and maybe back to Stockholm from there

And in general that whole region is very beautiful (unfortunately without a car it is very hard to explore)

Yes, that is also on my bucket list of trains and pretty high)

Last month I visited Γ–stersund (by train of course)

The final train (NortΓ₯g from Sundsvall to Γ–stersund) is the second most scenic route I have been to (after Bergen-Oslo) and I highly recommend it

as an exercise will try to convert to LiteRT format other Small VLMs like Moondream or Phi-3-Vision

I (and my old phone lol) gave up and I bought Pixel 9

Also have tried Edge Gallery with Gemma 3n E4B

Surprisingly the model doesn't feel completely lobotomized despite probably heavy quantization process

I liked part adding section for LLMs, in recent viral MIT paper was section that guided LLMs and provided most important parts for it
