I'm a bit of an eclectic mess 🙂 I've been a programmer, journalist, editor, TV producer, and a few other things.

I'm currently working on my second novel which is complete, but is in the edit stage. I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago but then didn't write much till now.

I post about #Coding, #Flutter, #Writing, #Movies and #TV. I'll also talk about #Technology, #Gadgets, #MachineLearning, #DeepLearning and a few other things as the fancy strikes ...

"Improved Vector Quantized Diffusion Models. (arXiv:2205.16007v2 [cs.CV] UPDATED)" — Two techniques to improve the sample quality of VQ-Diffusion. 1) Explore classifier-free guidance sampling for discrete denoising diffusion models to propose a more general and effective implementation of classifier-free guidance. 2) Use a high-quality inference strategy to alleviate the joint distribution issue in VQ-Diffusion.

this is one of my favorite pictures i've taken. it's hard to see when not zoomed in but above this little there's a grasshopper sitting on a leaf. i love a good bogo deal.

Sitting with a warm, furry, relaxed puppy on your lap is the absolute best way to wait for the sun to set.
For your viewing pleasure, here is the sunset on the beautiful north coast of California. Almost in real time.
Mastodon was a great find for me when I needed an outlet most.
Sending feel-good vibes your way.

"How to Trust Your Diffusion Model: A Convex Optimization Approach to Conformal Risk Control. (arXiv:2302.03791v1 [stat.ML])" — A focus on image-to-image regression tasks to arrive at a generalization of the Risk-Controlling Prediction Sets (RCPS) procedure, which allows to provide: i) entrywise calibrated intervals for future samples of any diffusion model, ii) control a certain notion of risk with respect to a ground truth image with minimal mean interval length.

Hatching a Teeny Tiny Zebra Finch. Great little video featuring the incubation of an abandoned egg and the hatching of a bird smaller than a human fingernail. I was riveted by the birth and first feeding. https://kottke.org/23/02/hatching-a-teeny-tiny-zebra-finch
