check out my talk at EUVIP 2026, titled
"Is Computer Vision Ready for Autonomous Systems?"
I think it didn’t suck as much as I thought it would, so I’m happy to share it 😄

hi ChatGPT, should I read book A or B next?
ChatGPT: neither. here is a book about time, ambition, and accepting that we cannot do everything: Four Thousand Weeks.
“I suspect it would resonate with someone balancing research ambitions and the desire for a meaningful life.”
can someone @NeurIPSConf pls tell us if we have to register in Atlanta? two authors are already registered in Paris @EurIPSConf and we do not plan to go to Atlanta to present.
a bit confused about the NeurIPS site assignment. we chose Paris but got Atlanta because Paris was full. all authors are based in Europe and don’t plan to travel to the US. if we can just be assigned elsewhere, what was the point of choosing a site? and what was the point of @EurIPSConf?
sınıfta spam filter’ın kişiye özel olması gerektiğini anlatırken “mesela sizin sevdiğiniz grubun konser duyurusu, benim için spam olabilir” dedikten sonra, favori grubunu sorduğum üç genZ’nin de ardarda “Mor ve Ötesi” demesi 🥹
hani generational gap vardı?
first, I felt attacked, but then I realized eval is not online, and Track-On is not even in the SOTA table. shouldn't a real-world benchmark test online capabilities? the title is a bit misleading IMHO.

I’m all for getting excited about the next amazing paper or model, but I’m also a bit tired of “amazing” discoveries we forget about within a couple of weeks.
I feel the same about our own work. great to have it on our CVs, but will it survive the next conf. cycle?
in our paper reading group channel, I send papers before sleep at 1:30 at night, and I send more papers when I wake up at 8:30 in the morning. and this was just Fri night 🥹
yeah my work-life balance is not in the room with us but at least, students tagged can check them whenever they want 😅
the ERC’s pitch for participating in the “Science is Wonderful” fair, though:
“that warm, fuzzy feeling when you do something meaningful in life” 🥰
I do everything in life for that feeling, ERC.

women give such specific feedback, I’m digging it. after my talk:
“I can tell you’ve been teaching. the way you explain things and go back to basics when needed..”
“you never lost me. slide after slide, I was listening carefully despite the early hour.”
these mean so much 🥹
next week, I’ll be in Luxembourg giving a keynote (my first!!) @Euvip2026, alongside @dimadamen, @eliricci_, and @silvia_zuffi!
many thx to @AouadaDjamila and the organizers for the invitation, what a lineup to be part of 🙂↕️
Holger going through SOTA solutions in the AD space one by one, listing theirs tricks and showing how they do not generalize has been my favorite thing in this summer school 🤗
we need more of this pessimistic but more accurate view in self-driving 💪
