This new algorithm felt cute. Might delete later. Playing around with neural networks and some new scanning algorithms. Uses a couple of custom-trained neural networks -- one to predict card corner points (the "detector"), and another to hash / vectorize the image (the…

A followup to my last video, you can now chat with the droids and they can execute commands to interact in the world. Why should you be able to program your droids with something mundane like Lua or Javascript? That would be too easy! Instead, why not prompt them to interact…

Watch on YouTube →I have been very intrigued lately by the results shown in the SPAG paper [1], and I would like to take the next step in research. I would like to set up an adversarial training exercise for LLMs around writing secure / robust code. For those unfamiliar with the SPAG paper, the…

Eric Jacobus recently uploaded some excellent source video of him performing various moves, and asked his community of subscribers if anyone was interested in helping convert it to pixel art. I thought this might be a good time to experiment with some machine-learning techniques…
