Somehow I got myself on this mailing list, every month or 3 they send a list of used printing equipment in Europe. I actually enjoy glancing at it, definitely a Heavy Metal vibe, for example this thing, made in 2011, has printed 137M impressions, and can be yours for a mere 420,000€. Free shipping probably not available.

One of my takeaways from reading _War and Peace_ last year was that Napoleon, whose warmongering killed millions across Europe, was basically a buffoon, a clown. Many of the most destructive men in history were ridiculous and laughable, and it just added insult to injury for contemporaries watching them come to power. There's nothing new under the sun.

Zero-Shot Scene Understanding with Multimodal Large Language Models for Automated Vehicles
Scene understanding is critical for various downstream tasks in autonomous driving, including facilitating driver-agent communication and enhancing human-centered explainability of autonomous vehicle (AV) decisions. This paper evaluates the capability of four multimodal large language models (MLLMs), including relatively small models, to understand scenes in a zero-shot, in-context learning setting. Additionally, we explore whether combining these models using an ensemble approach with majority…

DesignCoder: Hierarchy-Aware and Self-Correcting UI Code Generation with Large Language Models
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have streamlined front-end interface development by automating code generation. However, these models also introduce challenges in ensuring code quality. Existing approaches struggle to maintain both visual consistency and functional completeness in the generated components. Moreover, they lack mechanisms to assess the fidelity and correctness of the rendered pages. To address these issues, we propose DesignCoder, a novel hierarchical-aware and self-corr…
