It’s reasonable to argue that NVIDIA has a de facto monopoly in the field of GPU-accelerated compute, especially due to CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture). While not a legal monopoly in the strict antitrust sense (yet), in practice,

I'm trying to approach spatial reasoning by introducing quaternions to navigate graphs. It is a change in the unit of traversal — from positional increment to rotational progression. This reframing has cascading effects. It alters how

Project Orion was the promise of my youth [70/80s]. It speaks to both the technological courage and the philosophical optimism that once characterized space exploration — and how that momentum seems to have faded. By all accounts, it w

I'm working on yet another computer vision graphical annotation tool — but with a twist. I have this wild idea that labels should live inside the image itself, stored as dedicated text chunks within the PNG file, completely eliminating

I'd say with confidence: we're living in the early days. AI has made jaw-dropping progress in two major domains: language and vision. With large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 and Claude, and vision models like CLIP and DALL·E,

Very cool. I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed reading through your detailed flight logs — the way you’ve documented your experience, from distances and time in the air to the nuances of roles (P1, P2, PICUS), was fascinating. As someon

I'm using png in a computer vision image annotation tool[0]. The idea is to store the class labels directly in the image [dispensing with the side car text files], taking advantage of the beautiful png metadata capabilities. The next s

Great subject, thanks. I recently built SpinStep[0], a tool for visualizing and stepping through SCNN computations. It lets you upload a model, then see—layer by layer—how inputs are transformed, which kernels activate, and how feature maps

Great idea and insight. If i understand, it will allow you to embed metadata such as bounding box coordinates and class names, something I have also been working on[0] -- embedding computer vision annotation data directly into an image'

Neat approach! For this kind of mesh animation on a sphere’s surface, another path worth exploring is quaternion-based orientation traversal. I’ve been experimenting with this in SpinStep[0] — a Python library that uses quaternions to step
