Despite the large number of new papers in the cs.CV category on arXiv.org today (136), I only boosted 5 papers out of the lot since those were the ones I found interesting 🙂

Reading done. On to other stuff!

This is why I let the dill go to seed. It's one of the food plants of Black Swallowtail caterpillars like this one from last summer. Currently it is in diapause out in the garage and will be released in the same garden this spring when it emerges. #Gardening #Herbs #Butterflies #Insects

"Meta Learning to Bridge Vision and Language Models for Multimodal Few-Shot Learning. (arXiv:2302.14794v1 [cs.CV])" — Rather than using a frozen language model to communicate visual concepts, this method uses a meta -mapper to act as a bridge between large-scale visiona and language models.

A whopping 136 papers in the cs.CV category on arXiv.org today — 96 new, 40 updated.

If there’s more than the usual number of interesting papers there today, I’m in for a long wade through papers today 😛

@davemark I’ve been waiting all this time for somebody to do that 🙂 My wife and I watch/play (almost) everything together and we’ve never had a shared solution which works well both at home and when we are on a plane etc.

We use shared headphones and a single iPad currently when traveling but the ideal would be to have glasses which give us a big screen display and lets us both see the same movie, pause it at the same spot when we want to stop etc.

I was thinking that SharePlay was Apple’s way of achieving this for AR glasses, but I don’t think it works on a plane? I might be wrong …

@davemark Being able to share the same content with others (for example, watching the same movie together or playing/watching a game) so that I can do away with a big-screen TV 🙂

Green Ridge Windmill, Brighton, UK. Also known as Waterhall Mill, it was built in 1885. It was the last windmill built in Sussex, and was working until 1924. In World War II it was used by the Home Guard as a lookout post. The mill was converted into a house in 1963, and externally restored. The sweeps (Sussex dialect for sails) were replaced in 1974. This is my nearest large open space, and I love it.

I suppose you might be fed up with shots of the #AuroraBorealis by now, so I’ll just sneak in this moon photo with the #MirrieDancers photobombing! 😊

Tom Hanks movies can go either way — there are ones that I’ve absolutely loved, and then there are ones that I care nothing whatsoever for (and I’m looking at you, “Finch” …)

But “A Man Called Otto”, what can I say? It feels like his best movie ever, at least right now just after watching it, feels like one of his very best 🙂 I loved everything about the movie and how the story unfolded. It was a brilliant performance, and a great story!

@BobWilliams Sure thing 🙂

I just like finding solutions and I do like knowing that a JS solution is there if I want it. So any poking around is not (just) for your sake 😛

There were a couple of more advanced JS clients that I took a look at but I think they either got too complicated coding wise or didn’t have the features I wanted. I like to keep things as simple as possible …

But in case it helps, here are the links to those too:

@BobWilliams If I don’t do something immediately, I (generally) forget to do it later … So I did a quick GitHub repo, added a README and updated the code. Here it is:

https://github.com/FahimF/FediJS

It used to run fine a few months back but apparently has issues now 😛 I did a few quick fixes to get it to show the login screen but can’t get beyond that at the moment since I originally did the development for a Mastodon instance and I’m now on Akkoma and Akkoma recently changed their auth mechanism.

I don’t know for a fact that that’s the issue but hopefully, if you are on Mastodon, it just works for you. Will take a look perhaps this weekend to see what the issue is but would be happy to discuss further if you run into issues too …

And that’s it for papers today — 6 papers boosted from the cs.CV category (and one outside) out of a total of 98 on arXiv.org today ...
