Finding: State-of-the-art Vision Language Models achieve 100% accuracy counting on images of popular subjects (e.g. knowing that the Adidas logo has 3 stripes and a dog has 4 legs) but are only ~17% accurate in counting in counterfactual images (e.g. counting stripes in a 4-striped Adidas-like logo or counting legs in a 5-legged dog). VLMs don't actually "see" - they rely on memorized knowledge instead of visual analysis due to bias.

People buy Garmin watches because they want accuracy in their exercise tracking and get very disappointed when it looks like their data is off. However, I give satellite-enabled watches a little leeway for a few reasons. Before you chuck your watch out the window, keep a few things in mind: Is there a lot of tree cover? As counterintuitive as it may sound, watches that pinpoint your location by pinging the location off satellites (which, may I remind you, are in space) have trouble when there's

This is not a typical “Founding Engineer” position at an early stage company. In particular, this role will involve more research than similar positions.

However, we don’t strictly require research experience as long as you have a strong quantitative background and an eagerness to learn.
