CVPR 2023 @ Vancouver

翻了一下 Blog，上次记录开会还是 ICCV 2019。这次有超过6500人参会，虽然还不及之前 CVPR 2019，但也已经是非常大的会议了。

Private Copilot

几年前看Andrej Karpathy写的RNN教程的时候，就有些工作在用RNN做代码生成。我还记得刚看到这种工作的时候觉得这也太离谱了。果然，作为普通人，不出意外地又一次错误判断了事物的发展。才几年的时间，大家的普遍认知已经转变成，“代码生成是对于LLM来说相对比较简单的任务” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

PrivateGPT

最近GPT相关的开源项目层出不穷，感觉有段时间每天都有几个不同版本的XXGPT出现。生活中我已经时常用到ChatGPT了，虽然答案不保证正确，但多数情况下ChatGPT可以给出来正确的方向。

Bin Packing 问题

再次感觉到很多时候，实践中遇到的问题，合适地抽象出来之后，很有可能只是某个很经典问题的特例。新的问题并不多。

Making Accompaniment for Guitar Solo on Mac

I recently found out a solution to get the accompaniment to my phone, so that I can play along with it. There are some quality-wise compromises but overall it is good enough for me.

Minimalist-Style Demo of Running Neural Networks in Web Browser

This demo shows how to run a pre-trained neural networks in web-browser. The user would first download the pre-trained style transfer model to local by opening up the webpage. Then everything will get processed locally without accessing any remote resource. The user can then open-up a picture from their hard drive and click “run” to let the style transferring neural networks to do its job.

Game Over: How Nintendo Conquered The World

很有趣的一本书，以任天堂的发家扩张为主线，讲到了很多游戏和游戏公司的往事。可能是因为历史本身比较精彩，直接讲出来就已经是很吸引人的故事了。

A PyTorch GPU Memory Leak Example

I ran into this GPU memory leak issue when building a PyTorch training pipeline. After spending quite some time, I finally figured out this minimal reproducible example. Kicking off the training, it shows constantly increasing allocated GPU memory. This “AverageMeter” has been used in many popular repositories (e.g., https://github.com/facebookresearch/moco). It’s by-design tracking the average of […]
