Dubai style chocolate is now also produced by Lindt.... and costs 15€ for 100g. What the....?

Being happy about a lower trade deficit because of lower imports is like
- being happy of paying less income tax because of a lower salary, or
- not having to pay for gas anymore because the car is wrecked.

🚗🌐 Working on domain adaptation for 3D point clouds / LiDAR?

We'll present MuDDoS at BMVC: a method that boosts multimodal distillation for 3D semantic segmentation under domain shift.

📍 BMVC
🕚 Monday, Poster Session 1: Multimodal Learning (11:00–12:30)
📌 Hadfield Hall #859

We are introducing MuM, a feature encoder (ViT-L) tailored for 3D vision tasks.

TLDR; Spiritual successor to CroCo with a simpler multi-view objective and larger scale. Beats DINOv3 and CroCo v2 in RoMa, feedforward reconstruction, and rel. pose.

I have no idea how accurate this is, but for me it's a positive surprise. I had the impression that nothing had actually changed at all.

An interesting read.

TIL that "pico-bello" is actually not an Italian expression but only used in German 🇩🇪 (where we commonly use it to say perfect/clean/spotless). Its origins are from "piekfein" (= very fine), taking the first part of it, and adding the Italian 🇮🇹 "bello" to it.

Etymology is fascinating.

The future is here... Somewhat. Apparently you can set up a company with only AI employees talking to each other and actually doing stuff by querying the web and working on spreadsheets. Also,they share their trips to mountains they allegedly did during weekends. Hallucinations ensure.
Sam Altman says the one-person billion-dollar company is coming. Maybe I could be that person—if only I could get my colleagues to shut up and stop lying.

Justin Carpentier on simulation, data, optimal control and RL, and on the fantastic Pinocchio simulator and optimization suite.

Nicolas Mansard: in locomotion / legged motion, when we worked on MPC (model predictive control) we were a team of 10 working on the robot and it barely worked. Now with RL (Reinforcement Learning) a single student can get a policy in 3 months, including training of the student.

Adrien Gaidon shares key messages for projects working on AI for Robotics:

1. Don't fool yourself (with evaluation).
2. Since you decided to rigorously evaluate, you can iterate quickly.
3. Engineering is still key, software is important.
4. Get the Data right

Aniruddha Kembhavi presents Wayve's efforts on GAIA world models and their usage for not only deriving policies, but also evaluation. They can even perform in-context learning, videos of applying failure cases to new initial conditions.
