's call-scanning could dial up by default, experts warn
This is essentially
https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/15/googles-call-scanning-ai-could-dial-up-censorship-by-default-privacy-experts-warn/

Right now (kidding) Google is going after calls, but what about in repressive countries or our own?

What happens when they come to find the , , rights leaders?

Short blog post about "Everybody Wants to Crank the World", a demo I made recently https://aras-p.info/blog/2024/05/20/Crank-the-World-Playdate-demo/

Calculating only some pixels both spatially and temporally is pretty much the same as DLSS, right? :P

@NOTimothyLottes have not tried it, maybe for next demo :)

@aras @NOTimothyLottes Yeah it's kind of an interesting thing because if you filter it as spatial blue noise, and it becomes a good image, do you even need a temporal component to the noise anymore?! seems likely not right?
at the risk of being spammy, you folks should check out the new noise textures if you haven't yet. FAST noise.

you can have noise E.g. meant to be box filtered spatially, and EMA over time. also can make higher quality STBN.

"As these AI-driven accounts grow in followers (many fake, some real), the high follower count legitimises the account to real users. This means that out there, an army of accounts is being created. Accounts with high follower counts which could be deployed by those with the highest bid. There is strong evidence social media is being manipulated by these inflated bots to sway public opinion with disinformation."

Amazing hazel covered in moss by the Dart river, Huccaby, last week. I like to think it was a deer that was petrified by the piskies, / pixies and then covered in moss.

Dionysus in Wisconsin won third place at the New England Romance Writers Readers' Choice awards in the fantasy/paranormal category. I am definitely going to be cool about this and not use it as an excuse to call myself an AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR at every turn because that would be obnoxious.

Check out the AWARD-WINNING NOVEL here: https://books2read.com/u/49dN1p

    "Indigenous peoples around the world have long understood that international structures and laws were created without their inclusion, and in some cases, with the deliberate aim of further excluding them. Indeed, these structures, imposed across almost all parts of the world, have colonial origins."

    For folks that know me as "the blue noise guy", I've put together a 50 minute video that talks about many of the things I've learned in my ~decade long dive into noise and related topics - up to and including our latest paper published days ago at I3D.
    I hope you enjoy it!

    A slide showing how random numbers which are positively correlated on the screen give correlated resulting renders, uncorrelated random numbers give uncorrelated renders, and negative correlation random numbers give negatively correlated renders. Negatively correlated renders have the best perceptual quality, despite all three having the same actual error.

    @sprig i wonder if you could do some hierarchical thing, like it would work in small windows at a time, but work in a way such that the statistics of how long something will live on average before being stomped is the same? not sure of the details but it seems probable

    Microsoft demands an NPU capable of at least 40 trillion operations per second.

    Trying to hit all the Danish classics, today I went to the baker several hours before morning opening time and bought some grovbirkes straight from the oven.

    @pervognsen Sounds similar to the loss of boulangeries in France.

    In the Netherlands we have a bit of a revival with some more traditional bakers rising up again.

    It's a curious coincidence that before the idea of the warp drive there was this definition of warp:

    "move (a ship) along by hauling on a rope attached to a stationary object on shore."

    Suggests an alternative sci-fi idea for the meaning of "warp drive".
