👀 NVIDIA Broadcast 1.4 Adds Eye Contact and Vignette Effects With Virtual Background Enhancements

The new Eye Contact effect moves the eyes of the speaker to simulate eye contact with the camera — achieved by estimating and aligning gaze. The eyes retain their natural color and blinks, and there’s even a disconnect feature in case you look too far away, to transition smoothly between simulated and real eyes.

✍️ Say it right with DeepL Write: Introducing our new AI writing companion

DeepL, the famous german translatin service, has announced a new feature: DeepL Write. It automaticallu correct mistakes and rephrase sentences. Isn’it beautiful?

🔬 Google Research, 2022 & beyond: Language, vision and generative models

In this annual retrospective, Jeff Dean highlights key trends in language, computer vision, multi-modal models, and generative machine learning models. This is a great post with lots of links to projects, workshops, papers, and repos along the way.

👍 Generated Code Generates Overconfident Coders

A study by Stanford University researchers found that programmers who used OpenAI's Codex, a model that generates computer code, were more likely to produce buggy software than those who coded from scratch.

The study found that participants who used Codex generally produced code that was less functional and secure, yet they expressed greater confidence in it. These results suggest that coders who use such tools should pay extra attention to debugging and security.

📊 graphic-walker

Graphic Walker is a different type of open-source alternative to Tableau. It allows data scientists to analyze data and visualize patterns with simple drag-and-drop operations.

It is extremely easy to embed in your apps just as a React component 🎉! The original purpose of graphic-walker is not to be a heavy BI platform, but a easy to embed, lite, plugin.

🐼 sketch, AI code-writing assistant for pandas

Sketch is an AI code-writing assistant for pandas users that understands the context of your data, greatly improving the relevance of suggestions. Sketch is usable in seconds and doesn't require adding a plugin to your IDE.
