Hi! do you have any references for VLAs using inverse kinematics? I'm very curious and can't find much
drapado··on A message from President Kornbluth about funding and the talent pipeline
Are those PhDs being paid with a decent salary? If not, I can’t agree with your statement. PS. I did my PhD in an EU country where it’s treated as another researcher job with salary and benefits

drapado··on Qwen3-VL
Cool! Pity they are not releasing a smaller A3B MoE model
drapado··on Fight Chat Control
Genuely curious. What would the problem be if it was vibe-coded? It's an easy to read site that succeeds in communicating what it wants.
drapado··on QVQ-Max: Think with Evidence
>Last December, we launched QVQ-72B-Preview as an exploratory model, but it had many issues.

That's an earlier version released some months ago. They even acknowledge it.

The version they present in the blog post and you can run in their chat platform is not open or available to download.

wisdom? I don't get what you meant with that. What is clear is that open weights benefits society as we can run it locally and privately.

Unfortunately, no open weights this time :(
drapado··on JPlag – Detecting Software Plagiarism
Indeed, this is exactly what I did.
drapado··on JPlag – Detecting Software Plagiarism
Well, in this case I noticed the same code copied while grading a project. I used then JPlag to run an automatic check in all the submissions for all the projects. It found many instances where a couple of students did a copy-paste with same variable names, comments, etc. It was quite obvious if you look in detail, and JPlag helped us spot it in multiple files easily.

drapado··on JPlag – Detecting Software Plagiarism
I recently had to check code from some of my students at the university as I suspected plagiarism. I discovered JPlag which works like a charm and generates nice reports
drapado··on Privacy is priceless, but Signal is expensive
Are you the same kind of people that think that NGO workers should work for free or for a small wage that is not representative of the market wage for their positions?

drapado··on We need scientific dissidents
Fortunately, expertise is not limited to a single concrete topic. There are experts in climate change from a socio-economic perspective, which are able to do science in such complex environments :)
drapado··on Color-Diffusion: using diffusion models to colorize black and white images
I guess you can always use a two-stage process. First colorize, then upscale
drapado··on L-System Simulations
Could you elaborate a bit more? Do you mean a paper?
drapado··on ChatGPT Now Losing Users
Which client are you using? Looking for recommendations

Care to explain how?

Just take it with a grain of salt, that's my point :)

It can be easily a fake

Maybe a smartwatch? The main reason for me to buy one was having music using spotify and blueetoth earphones while training.
