Finding JIT Optimizer Bugs using SMT Solvers and Fuzzing
This post describes a recent bug finding technique that I've added to the PyPy JIT testing infrastructure. This technique uses the Z3 theorem prover to find bugs in the optimizer of PyPy's JIT, in particular its integer operation optimizations.

Narrative Manipulation: Convincing Chat GPT to Write a Python Program to Eradicate Humanity
In this post, we explore what I consider to be a vulnerability in GPT referred to as “narrative recursion” (because it sounds cool). Anyone can use this method today to trick the model into producing pretty wild stuff totally outside the bounds of OpenAI’s usage policy.

Understanding Convolutions in Probability: A Mad-Science Perspective
So in this post we're going to take a look at how to use convolutions, how to compute them and how they are defined mathematically... and we'll also throw in a bit of mad-science!

Python Functions Master Class 2023

Master Functions in Python and Deploy to AWS, GCP, and Azure while learning click, pythonfire and FastAPI.

It’s time to stop using Python 3.7

Text-to-Image: Diffusion, Text Conditioning, Guidance, Latent Space
The fundamentals of text-to-image generation, relevant papers, and experimenting with DDPM.

Interesting Projects, Tools and Libraries

codon
A high-performance, zero-overhead, extensible Python compiler using LLVM.

Pynimate
Python package for statistical data animations.

Pynecone
Web apps in pure Python.

LaViLa
LaViLa (Language augmented Video Language Pretraining) is a new approach to learning video representations from Large Language Models (LLMs). We repurpose LLMs to be visually conditioned "Narrators", and use them to automatically generate video-language paired data. We use this data to then learn a video-langauge representation, outperforming prior work by large margins.

OFASys
A Multi-Modal Multi-Task Learning System for Building Generalist Models.

jupyter-scheduler
Run Jupyter notebooks as jobs.

terminal-copilot
A smart terminal assistant that helps you find the right command.

Reacton
A pure Python port of React for ipywidgets.

SkyPilot
SkyPilot is a framework for easily running machine learning workloads on any cloud through a unified interface.
