I co-wrote a tour of some recent MSVC backend improvements!

Have a look for some before-and-after assembly samples and more details.

Reminder that my deep learning course at the University of Geneva is entirely available on-line. 1000+ slides, ~20h of screen-casts.

Full of examples in PyTorch

I am dead, I can’t believe this AI intro text I just got. If you thumb through it, there are all the usual suspects like breadth-first search and probability.

Then you open the first chapter and it goes HARD on the current state of things.

Then it’s back to mathematical notation like nothing happened.

The Realistic Graphics Lab is looking to recruit a *PhD student* and a *Research Engineer*. We develop algorithms and systems that invert the process of rendering to reconstruct realistic 3D worlds from images. A bit like "TensorFlow", but specialized to physical simulations of light.

If that sounds interesting, please take a look at our homepage, which links the job ads and provides lots of detail about what we do: https://rgl.epfl.ch
