Excited to see my work highlighted in MSR blog. If you're interested in how people are interacting in AI systems, check it out!
AI interactions can be iterative and complex. Learn how the Semantic Telemetry project at Microsoft Research is developing a new data science approach to understand human-AI interactions and their value. https://t.co/rVn2BS9dLf
Have you tried OpenAI's new model o1-preview or o1-mini? I tested it on this year's Meta HackerCup practice round coding challenges and here is what I learned: https://t.co/cUKWSktN5s
Iโm excited to share a new AI Coding Competition from Meta and Microsoft Research building on Metaโs annual Hacker Cup! The most capable LLMs to date will be challenged to solve these questions. We invite major players in the code generation space to join.

Announcing Hacker Cup AI Track at NeurIPS 2024! ๐
In partnership with Meta Hacker Cup + Microsoft Research we're launching the first AI track for the popular Meta Hacker Cup programming competition.
Details here: https://t.co/HFXE5ate1u โญ
If you are interested in speaking at GHC 23, now is time to get those applications ready! Reach out if you need help navigating the process.
You can now embed a *QR code* into an image generated by Stable Diffusion. The hidden QR is robust against noise corruption.
Implications:
- Flag fake images.
- Copyright: the next-generation watermarks will be invisible.
- Soon there will be a market for "image paraphrasing".๐ฎ
All these ChatGPT-4 threads are a joke.
The best AI writing prompts aren't 1 sentence. That's like having a Ferrari and driving it 5 mph.
Here's a 60-second masterclass on how to create prompts like a virtuoso writer:
@ShahnazKamberi Love it! โค๏ธ So glad you joined us and hope you had a great time at GHC.
If you are attending #GHC22, join us tomorrow at our level up lab to learn how to futurize the web with client-side ML! It will be fun and ๐ฅ
Here's what I've been working on lately, I experimented turning my iPad into an interactive digital art frame.๐ฉ๐ปโ๐จ
Using Three.js & TensorFlow.js, I'm using eye-tracking to update the perspective of the scene with a technique called "head-coupled perspective". ๐
#MadeWithTFJS
Folks, declaring globals isn't that hard:
Save the date! Next #MadeWithTFJS Show & Tell live stream will be 15th July, 9AM PT. Join us for 6 new #demos pushing boundaries of what's possible in #JavaScript + #WebML. From animatronic backpacks to autoencoders that dance with you, see you there! #AI https://t.co/CZwgt7AEJp
1/ We used NeRF to get this shot. This entire thing was shot with a phone ๐คณ No drones were used @jperldev #photogrammetry #instantNeRF #neuralrendering #artificialintelligence
TIL Prettier is considering making tabs the default in 3.0. This is huge โ it would make an entire set of programming languages more accessible (if you're somehow still pro-spaces, read this comment to instantly convert), and, more importantly, vindicate my personal preferences
Learn how Mindee enabled optical character recognition (OCR) client side in the browser with this new #madeWithTFJS blog post. โคต๏ธ

I used @OpenAI #dalle2 to create the first ever AI-generated magazine cover for @Cosmopolitan!! The prompt I used is at the end of the video #dalle
