The Challenge: Diagnosing the “Black Box”

Data-driven diagnosis CPS forever! Most diagnostic tools need a “digital twin” or a massive library of “how it looks when it breaks.” But what if you don’t have that? The researchers proposed a system that only requires: On my Ubuntu rig, I set out to see if my dual RTX 4080s could identify root causes in a simulated water … Read more

The Concept: Instructions, Not Just Prompts

The core shift here is moving from “What to draw” to “How to create.” The framework allows for Multimodal Instructions —where you can mix text with reference images, sketches, or even style anchors. In my Istanbul lab, I tested this by feeding my system a photo of a local tea glass (the “Subject”) and a text … Read more

Breaking the Rule-Based Ceiling: My Take on the New IRPA Taxonomy

If you’ve ever tried to set up a standard Robotic Process Automation (RPA) bot, you know the pain. You build a perfect flow, and then—boom—the website updates its CSS, a button moves three pixels to the left, and your “digital worker” has a total meltdown. It’s brittle, it’s frustrating, and honestly, it’s not very “intelligent.” … Read more

Beyond the Hype: Why I Built a Local Dual-GPU Rig for Implementation-First AI Research

Let’s cut through the hype: most AI research assumes you have a massive budget, but in my homelab, reality is measured in GPU temps and Python execution speed. I’m stripping away the fluff to see which ‘frontiers’ actually matter when you’re running on bare metal. Let’s see what’s worth our compute cycles. If you’ve spent any time reading my thoughts over at AI … Read more
