Color Analysis Plates from "Color problems; a practical manual for the lay student of color," Emily Noyes Vanderpoel, 1903.

Going through some Erdős problems that Mark Sellke and Mehtaab Sawhney found had already been solved using GPT5 pro for search. More precisely, these were listed as open, but solutions to them already existed in the literature, but not recognized as such. Quite remarkable. One example: [+]

First up in my series, El Maestro, Francisco Toledo. Not a strictly abstract artist, he used geometric shapes, textures, fantastical forms, ancient morphologies & symbols, native creatures in his art painting, drawing, sculpture, collage, ceramics, textiles. 🧵 1/? #MexicanArtist #AbstractArt

Harmony merges vision-language training and self-supervised learning, achieving strong results on dense tasks with web-scraped data. It outperforms CLIP and SLIP, showing better performance in zero-shot classification and segmentation across various benchmarks. https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.14239

Not Gaussian or NeRF! SuperDec rocks 3D scenes with superquadrics—compact, clever, and oh-so-smooth! This method uses transformer-based nets to predict superquadric params and soft segmentation, then refines them with Levenberg–Marquardt optimization.

this workshop combined my loves: an abandoned wework + open source AI we built AI agents with open-source tools (smolagents, Qwen), and then used them (and our in-house robot arm) to generate and assemble mocktails! 🤖🍹 Huge thanks to 🤗 @hf.co for sponsoring & for creating smolagents 🦾

Happy birthday Arne Wolf. The under-the-radar artist, calligrapher, & educator, remembered as an influential teacher, experimental typographer, & bookmaker, was born today in 1929. “The transition from craft to art is equal to the movement from making letters to making content."

New Paper: Continuous Thought Machines pub.sakana.ai/ctm/ Neurons in brains use timing and synchronization in the way that they compute, but this is largely ignored in modern neural nets. We believe neural timing is key for the flexibility and adaptability of biological intelligence. Thread ↓

I've been building an ai agent every day for the past 25 days takeaways: it's easy! you don't need a product I promise! especially with MCP servers, which you can download for almost anything, set up auth, and write a 4-line function to connect it to your agent #30daysofagents #buildinpublic

self-assembling, self-improving agents is the focus of #30daysofagents day 24 introducing a new agent in the chain that scours leaderboards and finds the best performing ML models for specific use-cases live demo - huggingface.co/spaces/Leeps... #buildinpublic

#30daysofagents day 23 is another hackathon! inspired by sonic's chao garden, we visualize ai agents in 3D space. characters interact with each other and use tools. the human can brainstorm and plan with agents and interrupt agent runs with feedback. #buildinpublic

After two decades of modeling how brains make predictions & form predictive representations for memory & planning, I’m experimenting with slime mold & building evolutionary models. I’m humbled by the capacities of single cell organisms. This paper by Sole et al on how cells predict feels timely.
