Check out the motorized couch we built at @Stanford moonshot club!! @karpathy , any suggestions for FSD? We’d love to give you a ride in it too 😉 It currently also has a semi-autonomous feature that follows a person wearing a particular shirt 🚀

In his Christmas Tree Lecture today, Don Knuth showed a subtle one-to-one correspondence between twintrees, baxter permutations, and floorplans. As an early present, he gifted me a hardcopy TAOCP vol. 1 and personally signed it! 🎄💻

Fantastic time discussing moonshots, monkeys on pedestals, and generative AI with @Theteamatx CEO @astroteller today. Key takeaway: fall in love with the problem and embrace rapid-fire iteration. Really resonates in today's world, where pace of innovation is the holy grail.

Check out our work on neural functional networks (NFNs), a new architecture for processing the weight space of neural nets! Notably, our NFNs account for permutation symmetries in the weights. This enables many applications: designing learned optimizers, editing weights & more!

The order of features in a neural net doesn’t affect its function. But, hypernetworks & models that process neural net weights don’t account for this! Turns out we can encode this permutation invariance in neural functional networks.

3D printed and painted my panda today! 🐼🌲❤️ I trained a neural radiance field (NeRF) to construct a 3D model from video, and then exported the NeRF into an STL file for printing :)

Amazing hackathon with @ScottHickmann and Jason Lin at @Stanford TreeHacks 🌲, winning the $2k best Chat App sponsored by @YouSearchEngine ! We built Talk To History: a living textbook where students can have engaging convos w/ historical figures. Watch our vid for a surprise 😉🔊

Hyped for Tiafoe-Alcaraz tmr! In spirit of the US Open, enjoy this sketch of the Organic Chemistry Open 🎾 Caption: (1R, 3S)-2,2,3-Trimethyl-6-Cyclohexane-1-Carbaldehyde plays tennis with a Neon ball against his enantiomer, while Cyclohexane officiates as chair umpire 😅

Here’s the printing in action! The video -> NeRF -> STL -> 3D pipeline enables almost any organic shapes to be 3D printed, even ones that would be super hard to CAD.

In <36 hrs of building, we combined cutting-edge AI models, including @OpenAI 's GPT for chat generation, @GoogleAI 's Neural2 TTS for speech synthesis, and a Wav2Lip GAN for realistic lip sync movements. It's all hooked up to an @nvidia A100 GPU for fast inference 🔥 (3/n)
