one day you wrote console.log("here") for the last time and didn't even know it

not sure any of this matters

@Jacoed @arnosolin The LeJEPA paper proves it as the optimal distribution for downstream probes + prevents collapse without teachers, etc.

Worth a read: https://t.co/1vf6L7eqDS

@Jacoed @arnosolin Both are basically batch-level anti-collapse regularizers - but the difference is what they actually constrain.

EBGAN just tries to push embeddings apart in angle, while SIGReg tries to make the whole distribution look like an isotropic Gaussian (in scale/shape)

@Cory29565470 @arnosolin Yes - in AudioSet (the pretraining dataset) there are a few thousand helicopter clips, though it never saw this specific one or any labels

🔥 #LeAVJEPA: A simple recipe for self-supervised learning from sound and vision 🔥

One shared encoder, trained without class labels. Dropping a modality makes audio & video learn a common representation.

was showing my normie friends codex and how you can just make whatever you want and they literally didn’t give a fuck

some engineers are struggling to adapt to using agents because they are not used to being outcome oriented.

@lukaskuhn77 And so does AV-JEPA.

Prepare for takeoff. ✈️ Flight simulator is now available globally on web to all users. https://t.co/hQP0No142P

We've recently added many our most powerful professional desktop features to web. Elevation profiles, new import types, but there's always been one other feature you've been asking us to add to the web version of Google Earth, just for fun...

Where will you fly? Share your best maneuvers, views, and flyovers with us!

there are actual horrors lying inside of obscure audio upsampling literature

I work in AI and think LLMs are unbelievably cool and I hate most AI products and features. Like it’s almost all trash.
