Viewing profile — Uncorrelated

I'm partially deaf and I've worn hearing aids since around five years old. I used to think it didn't affect me but as I get older I increasingly suspect it's negatively impacted my…

Scale matters. Using Photoshop took vastly more time and skill to pull off realistic images, limiting how many could be made. With image generation there's no practical limit. Some…

What career are you aiming to switch to?

I got 54, allegedly better than 99% of players. But I also note that a score of zero is apparently better than 32% of players. Very fun.

Seems like you’re describing something like Pico-8: https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php There are also open-source versions of the concept, like TIC-80. The only thing missing is…

I responded with a mix of mostly B and C answers and got “advanced.” Yet, as pointed out by another commenter, selecting all D answers (which would make you an expert!) gets you ca…

For anyone wondering, you can access this by tapping the button showing a 3D cube at the bottom left of the 3D viewer. The button may be cut off if you're viewing in a web view in …

You're thinking of the The History of England podcast, not The History of English. The History of English Podcast does cover English history, often going deeper than is strictly ne…

Thank you! I just released the new update on a slow rollout, and you can get it ahead of schedule by updating manually. I recommend trying out RAW photography with the Extended Dyn…

At the time I created it there weren't any that did the end-to-end process with ProRAW in a way that I liked. And I got really tired of manually editing every photo I took, so I bu…

I've been working on an iOS camera app to take natural-looking photos with reduced post-processing. The goal is take photos that look like what you see. I just updated the RAW pipe…

I found the article you wrote on processing Librem 5 photos: https://puri.sm/posts/librem-5-photo-processing-tutorial/ Which is a pleasant read, and I like the pictures. Has the Li…

I'm sorry for neglecting to respond until now. The app was called Portrait Effects Studio and later Portrait Effects Playground; I took it down because it didn't meet my quality st…

Other commenters here are correct that the LIDAR is too low-resolution to be used as the primary source for the depth maps. In fact, iPhones use four-ish methods, that I know of, t…

It's a JPEG + gain map format where the gain map is stored in the metadata. Same thing, as far as I can tell, that Halide is now using. It's what the industry is moving towards; it…

Yes. For example, Lightroom and Camera Raw support HDR editing and export from RAW images, and Adobe published a good rundown on the feature when they introduced it. https://blog.a…

I find the default HDR (as in gain map) presentation of iPhone photos to look rather garish, rendering highlights too bright and distracting from the content of the images. The sol…

I played some of this after I read the NESFab page posted about a week ago. It's an impressive NES game for any length of time spent on development, let alone a month. Now that I k…

iPhones can do this. They support taking photos simultaneously from the two or three cameras on the back; the cameras are hardware-synchronized and automatically match their settin…

block_dagger was making a pun based on the sense of drill as a training exercise. A similar joke went over the heads of nearly everyone on a recent episode of Taskmaster: https://w…

Articles about the merits of JPEG XL come up with some regularity on Hacker News, as if to ask, "why aren't we all using this yet?" This one has a section on animation and cinemagr…

While nothing like the photos in the article, I've gotten neat footage of living insects (and other arthropods) by putting them in a little makeshift container under my microscope,…
