Using computer vision to help win $1M in Mountain Dew's Super Bowl contest
SUMMARY Mountain Dew's Super Bowl LV ad challenged viewers to count the exact number of bottles in the commercial for a $1 million prize, and this post builds an object detection model to assist with that count. The 30-second video was sampled at three frames per second in Roboflow to produce 92 annotated training…

OpenAI releases larger GPT-2 model
We’ve trained a large-scale unsupervised language model which generates coherent paragraphs of text, achieves state-of-the-art performance on many language modeling benchmarks, and performs rudimentary reading comprehension, machine translation, question answering, and summarization—all without task-specific training.

Trade-Offs in Automatic Differentiation: TensorFlow, PyTorch, Jax, and Julia
To understand the differences between automatic differentiation libraries, let’s talk about the engineering trade-offs that were made. I would personally say that none of these libraries are “better” than another, they simply all make engineering trade-offs based on the domains and use cases they were aiming to…

Markov chain Monte Carlo without the bullshit (2015)
I have a little secret: I don’t like the terminology, notation, and style of writing in statistics. I find it unnecessarily complicated. This shows up when trying to read about Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. Take, for example, the abstract to the Markov Chain Monte Carlo article in the Encyclopedia of…

New Vulnerability in GitHub Copilot, Cursor: Hackers Can Weaponize Code Agents
Pillar Security researchers have uncovered a dangerous new supply chain attack vector we've named "Rules File Backdoor." This technique enables hackers to silently compromise AI-generated code by injecting hidden malicious instructions into seemingly innocent configuration files used by Cursor and GitHub Copilot—the…
