SQLGovernor: An LLM-powered SQL Toolkit for Real World Application
SQL queries in real world analytical environments, whether written by humans or generated automatically often suffer from syntax errors, inefficiency, or semantic misalignment, especially in complex OLAP scenarios. To address these challenges, we propose SQLGovernor, an LLM powered SQL toolkit that unifies multiple functionalities, including syntax correction, query rewriting, query modification, and consistency verification within a structured framework enhanced by knowledge management. SQLGov…

LALM-Eval: An Open-Source Toolkit for Holistic Evaluation of Large Audio Language Models
Large Audio Language Models (LALMs) are rapidly advancing, but evaluating them remains challenging due to inefficient toolkits that limit fair comparison and systematic assessment. Current frameworks suffer from three critical issues: slow processing that bottlenecks large-scale studies, inconsistent prompting that hurts reproducibility, and narrow task coverage that misses important audio reasoning capabilities. We introduce LALM-Eval, an efficient and comprehensive evaluation framework for LA…

TalkCuts: A Large-Scale Dataset for Multi-Shot Human Speech Video Generation
In this work, we present TalkCuts, a large-scale dataset designed to facilitate the study of multi-shot human speech video generation. Unlike existing datasets that focus on single-shot, static viewpoints, TalkCuts offers 164k clips totaling over 500 hours of high-quality human speech videos with diverse camera shots, including close-up, half-body, and full-body views. The dataset includes detailed textual descriptions, 2D keypoints and 3D SMPL-X motion annotations, covering over 10k identities…

I know Star Wars is often kinda dumb. The movies are plot-holey and often kinda bad.
But seeing the first one with my almost 6 year old and playing Lego Star Wars with him is something special. Like the joy he feels seeing those characters do their weird shit, the way he really gets into thinking about the stories and why people do what and who they might have also talked to is just ... the best. I'm actually looking forward to watching even the prequels with him.

"You are now entering into ... the Twilight Zone"

What we’re seeing in that picture is the launch of Starlink satellites on July 18.
You can see that launch from another perspective here.
The exhaust from twilight launches appears to glow, because, while the sun has set from our perspective on the ground,
at the altitude the rocket is at, it is still lit up by the sun.
I think this is actually the second stage, not the return of the first stage.
It looks like it’s coming “downward” to the horizon,
but …

I went on a little bike ride after lunch at work today to check out the missing bridge from the flood back in August and got approached by a woman who wanted to ask me some questions...
Local TV reporter, had a camera operator with her, so I put on a lav and talked about the (missing) bridge for a few minutes...
I stood with my bike and had my helmet on during the interview and talked about biking to work so I hope I leveled up on my bike advocacy journey.
