Pretty cool, #netflix in #japan are using #ai to #generate #anime #background #images https://mosfet.net/new-netflix-animated-.. You might think this reduces #jobs , but there is a massive #labour #shortage in the #animation #industry .
Looks like the #wifi #tracking #algorithm based on #signal is back: https://hackaday.com/2023/01/26/tracking.. It appears the #research is actually #published this time. Looking at the #images at least it looks quite #accurate - scary, given #wifi is *everywhere.*
Sadly, most of the #pinetab #linux #os #images do not work for me at all: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PineTab#Ope.. Seems to be a dead #device ...
Very cool, #stablediffusion being used as quite an #effective #image #compression #algorithm https://matthias-buehlmann.medium.com/st.. It basically relies on the fact that #images important to #humans are basically #composed in very #similar ways.
Cool #article on the #problem of #gif #images #displayed in #browsers https://www.biphelps.com/blog/The-Fastes.. Mad!
Interesting speedy #image #format #qoi https://github.com/phoboslab/qoi Could be interesting to use it on a #backend for a #server that collects #images !
Interesting #article about dropping #support for #iso #images in an #os #release https://bkhome.org/news/202112/why-iso-w.. I never realised the #iso #format is so insane. Still, not having an #iso file is quite #inconvenient !
Ultra interesting #article about #decoding #voyager 1 #information https://destevez.net/2021/12/more-data-f.. I had quite some fun a while back #decoding old #voyager #images in #java with a program I called #openview https://github.com/danielbarry/OpenView At some point it would be good to return to and try to figure out how to #recover lost #data !
As I already knew, #images are not #stored on the #blockchain - only some #metadata https://erickhun.com/posts/nft-misconcep.. But this could open up some interesting ideas for ultra small images that *could* be stored entirely, especially a #dataurl https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs.. I'm pretty sure you could get an #svg down to a pretty #affordable #price !
I should really do more to #compress the #images on #coffeespace and work harder on images for #deadsocial https://endtimes.dev/why-you-should-dith.. I may try out some #experiments later, apparently #png is way more suitable for #dithering than #jpeg - which has 3 channels baked into the #format ...
