B-repLer: Semantic B-rep Latent Editor using Large Language Models
Multimodal large language models (mLLMs), trained in a mixed modal setting as a universal model, have been shown to compete with or even outperform many specialized algorithms for imaging and graphics tasks. As demonstrated across many applications, mLLMs' ability to jointly process image and text data makes them suitable for zero-shot applications or efficient fine-tuning towards specialized tasks. However, they have had limited success in 3D analysis and editing tasks. This is due to both the…

Here‘s a little tip if you’re using (the latest version of) Helix Editor:
Add the following keybinding to your config (if you don’t use Ctrl b for page up, that is; otherwise, change the key):
[keys.normal]
C-b = ":echo %sh{git blame -L %{cursor_line}, 1 %{buffer_name}}"
Now, when you press Crtl b in the editor, you’ll see the git blame for the line you’re on. Very useful for seeing which commit the line last changed in and, for teams, who committed the chang…

From Editor to Dense Geometry Estimator
Leveraging visual priors from pre-trained text-to-image (T2I) generative models has shown success in dense prediction. However, dense prediction is inherently an image-to-image task, suggesting that image editing models, rather than T2I generative models, may be a more suitable foundation for fine-tuning. Motivated by this, we conduct a systematic analysis of the fine-tuning behaviors of both editors and generators for dense geometry estimation. Our findings show that editing models possess i…

"By 1993, I added a CD-ROM player to my computer, and I ordered a couple of CD-ROMs from Walnut Creek. One of them had folders and folders of source code in a variety of languages with very strange names: REXX, Forth, Basica, ADA, Lisp, Fortran. I did not know what those languages were for. I did not know why there were so many. I did not know I could create my own. There was no Stack Overflow, there was no GitHub."

Memories Of Hello World
Once upon a time, during the summer of 1992. It was, if I remember well, around the 15th of July. I wrote my first line of QBasic code on a blue text editor, fueled by the eponymous PRINT command.

It is slowly getting published:

Qwen-Image-Edit: Image Editing with Higher Quality and Efficiency

I had this one GPX file that passed my cleaner code (which separates bike rides from walks based on speed.) I popped it into a text editor and I realized I must have started a walk and then got in a car and drove for a bit before I stopped the walk.
It's always some damn edge case...

Can somebody point me towards a Myers diff algorithm in a C project?
I am looking for the following data as diff result:
1. (old) line number
2. (old) column number
3. (new) line number
4. (new) column number.
Need the above info so I can ask my text editor widget to highlight the line and column as to what was added/deleted.
Please reboost for reach :)
