YOLO-World: Real-Time Open-Vocabulary Object Detection
Abstract:The You Only Look Once (YOLO) series of detectors have established themselves as efficient and practical tools. However, their reliance on predefined and trained object categories limits their applicability in open scenarios. Addressing this limitation, we introduce YOLO-World, an innovative approach that enhances YOLO with open-vocabulary detection capabilities through vision-language modeling and pre-training on large-scale […]

Show HN: PunchCard Key Backup
This small project — available live at https://volution.ro/pckb (or https://purl.org/999 for long term permanence) — allows one to take any 128 bits of information, and easily create (and especially easily recover) a backup of it into a physical medium, by using the old and tried method of punched cards (hence the project’s name). For example, […]

The Two Ideals of Fields
By Susam Pal on 27 May 2025 A field has exactly two ideals: the zero ideal, which contains only the additive identity, and the whole field itself. These are known as trivial ideals. Further if a commutative ring, with distinct additive and multiplicative identities, has no ideals other than the trivial ones, then it must […]
Using Ed(1) as My Static Site Generator
By Artyom Bologov I have a long story with bipolar spikes making me re-evaluate my tech choices. You can observe it with multiple of my website setups: I started with Tripod, my Gemtext-oriented OOP Lisp engine. Then I used the DSLs Common Lisp provides to generate HTML from s-expressions. And, finally, I switched to C […]
