The Fall 2024 Caltech Magazine cover I illustrated, mosaics of extinct species made from “isotopic tesserae”, just received a UCDA Design Award.
I don’t believe in awards, but I believe in academia. Honored to collaborate with Caltech’s scientists on this one.

I will say that I think we are absolutely in a bubble. Things are crazy right now. However, that does not mean that AI is not going to change everything sooner or later, but I think both of those things can be true.

Computer Vision is probably my favorite discipline of IT.
If you are building apps that enable your computer to see (style transfer, object removal, smart masking, visual effects etc.) with DINOv3 has quietly changed the game.

A new paper shows how Stable Diffusion can do visual in-context learning without any training.
They change how attention works during inference to let the model compare a query image with example prompts.

The devastating truth about current AI models: They have no real understanding. There is no intelligence in them.
New Harvard/MIT research trained models on planetary orbits. They perfectly predicted planetary motion but completely failed when asked to apply basic physics (F=ma) to new scenarios.

Use claude . md files for persistent context across sessions
Ask Claude to plan before coding (saves tons of time)
Run multiple Claude instances in parallel for complex projects
