I started working on my own 3D icon editor for creating authentic aliased pixel icons with dynamic lighting and shadows.

@The_Forty_Four and no matterface is a big selling point tbh

@The_Forty_Four bbc had 4k/uhd streams

itv had some broadcast quality issues, as per

@Wizardman37 @MGP19_ @PolitlcsUK I have mixed feelings (mostly negative) but for example- your bank uses it to detect fraud, your supermarket uses it to stock food, your email service uses it to filter spam, your phone uses it for authentication, blind people use it to describe surroundings.. the list goes on

china is not slowing down and this one is insane..

Chinese researchers just open-sourced SLAM3R, it rebuilds a full 3D scene from a single regular video, in real time. no LiDAR, no depth sensor, no camera rig. one phone-grade video in, a 3D world out.

> runs at 20+ FPS on a single GPU
> monocular RGB, just walk around filming
> feedforward neural net, no slow pose-optimization step
> beats optimization-based methods on reconstruction benchmarks
> handles long walkthroughs without drifting apart

what makes this work: older methods solve for camera position frame by frame, which is why they're slow. SLAM3R skips that and regresses the 3D geometry directly. that's how it hits real time.

100% free and open source:

This week I presented "Synthetic Gestures: An Evolutionary Sketching Machine" at ACM Creativity & Cognition in London —

the pictorial explores some of my recent research on CLIP-guided and gradient-free optimisation of plotter trajectories for gen art.

this game is a remote job simulator... except no one at your company knows you're SECRETLY A WORM!

be a financial analyst, mash the keyboard, take calls with your boss, DM colleagues, read self-help books and go for that promotion!!
