fast.ai – Can LLMs learn from a single example?
The only thing that we have come up with (so far!) that fully explains this picture is that the hypothesis is correct: the model is rapidly learning to recognise examples even just seeing them once. Let’s work through each part of the loss curve in turn… Source: fast.ai – Can LLMs learn from a single […]
So you want to modify the text of a PDF by hand (qpdf)· GitHub
If you, like me, resent every dollar spent on commercial PDF tools, you might want to know how to change the text content of a PDF without having to pay for Adobe Acrobat or another PDF tool. I didn’t see an obvious open-source tool that lets you dig into PDF internals, but I did discover […]
One App’s Poison

Keeping Figma Fast | Figma Blog
As we iterated on FigJam in the early days, we’d fix issues reactively, in response to customer reports or changes in production metrics. But we knew there was a better way. With the help of our new testing framework, we wrote tests covering the majority of essential user flows, and automatically found issues before they […]
High-speed AI Drone | | UZH
In a milestone for artificial intelligence (AI), the AI system “Swift”, designed by UZH researchers, has beaten the world champions in drone racing – a result that seemed unattainable just a few years ago. The AI-piloted drone was trained in a simulated environment. Real-world applications include environmental monitoring or disaster response. Source: High-speed AI Drone […]
MagicEdit: High-Fidelity Temporally Coherent Video Editing
Video stylization enables one to (1) transform the source video into a new video with a style-of- interest (e.g., realistic, cartoon), or (2) creating a new scene with different subject (e.g., dog → cat) and different background (e.g., living room → beach).
