I have Sony a5100 and a6400. The 5100 is 5 years old, a bit cracked, but I still take it with me regularly since it combines decent compactness with interchangeable optics. Though much older, it is similar in image quality to the 6400, whic

As an anecdote, in Genshin F2P is totally adequate — its key feature is that max character level is constrained and easily achievable, so the main difficulty becomes getting new rare characters, especially if you’re impatient.

A strong fingerprinting signal in itself.

Pretty often, when I need to work with floating-point images or uncommon number of channels and not limited to Python (where .npy is more convenient). Also used it some time ago for binary images since it supports the CCITT Group4 and JBIG2

I didn’t say this. I believe it’s current implementations that are not good enough. Some ebook reading software comes close.

Please show me a reflowable document with decent typographics. No, seriously, why browsers don’t implement fully-featured layout algorithms? Until then, I’d prefer a well-typeset PDF over an average website for a longer-form and graphics-ri

Somehow it’s “characteristically ugly” for me, looking at these examples specifically. You can get good-looking documents in LaTeX if you customize formatting just a little bit, but the default colors, shapes and even fonts are just off. Es

Powerful transmitters are most certainly heavily regulated.

Are they that close now to be often interchangeable? Last I looked, they were as different as Lisp is to C: Mathematica is very strong for symbolic manipulation and discrete simulations and DSLs and can somewhat do numerics, whereas Matlab

This made me want to learn TS — finally a non-boring type system in a mainstream language.

Great! Now waiting for HDR and high bit depth. AFAIK there’s no easy way to display WCG HDR graphics programmatically from a PC, even if most TVs now support it.

It’s not really possible to conduct double-blind reviews in most cases: authors or at least the group can often be easily guessed from the list of references, “in our previous work…”, and research domain and approach in general.

In my experience with measuring display characteristics (research lab working between computer and human vision), this is typical. One device we've worked with a couple of years ago, also with OLED, used different panels depending on t

Looks somewhat similar to TraitsUI. Had some fun with it building data exploration interfaces with Chaco plotting library almost 10 (?!!) years ago.

Not that it's corrupt, but incentive structure is suboptimal to say the least, especially for government-funded work. There was a recent blog post / HN thread [1] about groups never admitting failure, it's very relevant here.

Sorry, meant fixed-point fractional number of course. Transfer function is the nonliner transformation used to more effectively use the limited resolution of integer values. Most typical is sRGB gamma (luminance ~ (value / 255) ^ 2.2)
257.

Seems like overengineering indeed. Additionally, it’s under-engineered also since Normed doesn’t store the transfer function (gamma) so you cannot use it pretending it’s just a fixed-point float!

The problem is, for this to work the API itself must be cross-platform, which means it's either an incomplete abstraction (exposes many options, only some of which are implemented on a given platform), overly restricting (lowest common

When you cannot analyze every paper ever published you need to have some relevant criterion for inclusion -- and PWC is somewhat of a GitHub of AI science (at least in early days of it) -- there may be multiple collections, but PWC is by fa

Looks like enabling technology for light-field imaging Especially if combined with the concept of event camera.

I’m pretty sure these photos were enabled by the Laowa Macro Probe lens ( https://www.venuslens.net/product/laowa-24mm-f-14-2x-macro-p... ) — one could construct something exotic before for this, but this lens is what ma

I thought so for a long time, but then learned about spread-spectrum and frequency-hopping (with cryptographically randomized pattern) radio communication techniques which are employed in military-grade communications, and suddenly reliably

The bright (and not stupid ‘gamer’ rgb) colors are worth a premium for me. Show me some non-boring cases!

That’s called generative recognition, and it’s the best way to do it (probably can be formally proved under some noise model assumptions) if you have a good model of the data and enough computational resources.

I guess it’s for TVs and conference room projectors, these never support the DP, and thus it’s very much a real ‘pro’ feature for office work. So, SD for pro photo/video (and they are very right about full-size SDs here), HDMI for pro

I’ve come to expect ~80% of work requirements be ‘fast and cheap’ (regular projects) and the rest is ‘fast and good’ (well-funded startup, maybe internal). As I work near academy, there’s a fraction of ‘slow and very cheap’ (produce publica

We worked around them by basically not using epics (using them to represent an endless line of work like Frontend, or Machine learning, the like), but instead introducing a new type of issue, Sprint goal, which is created by the team leads

Good to see our dislike of them validated, too. They don’t work well with sprints.
