I don’t get it. It’s pretty tiny and it’s on his bicep?

Just look at the white highlight in his middle hair strand. Only 1 pixel wide in the digital image, yet several pixels wide in the CRT, in a way that is clearly not just analog smearing

Wait the CRT one literally is double(ish) ish the resolution. It looks more detailed because it is!

I counted the pixels by hand on my phone so it may be wrong slightly but I counted about 2x as many in the CRT image as in the pixelated one in the image width (51 in the pixelated, 92 on the CRT)

But not the high and by removing the high frequencies the prioritization of high frequencies for shape is eliminated and so you’re free to perceive the revealed signal in low freq. something along those lines

That journal is pretty lax about data and things like providing a plausible neurological mechanism so I don’t recall an actual mechanism but when I chatted with Shapiro about it (I recall) his thinking was basically some prioritization mechanism where the information is carried in the low freqs 1/

I’m curious about your point about the Lanczos filter. I deleted my original post about β€œa pixel isn’t a little square” because it’s a point that would be resolved by interpolation. But im interested to see a demo of an interpolated image that way, may need to code it up myself

Or maybe by S Anstis. One of those two authors, can’t keep their work straight sometimes

I’ll try to dig it up by there are illusions where blur (which only removes information) reveals information hidden in moving images. It was a paper by A Shapiro in Journal of Illusion but I can’t remember the title. But within the last few years

Do NOT ask my advisor about local illuminant color estimation in front of another professor, worst/best mistake of my life

Seeing the shit that gets published in decent journals makes me despair

I’m just gonna write slop that took me a weekend and submit it man, there’s no point

Rendering 3D textures is done by the hardware in your computer, not outsourced labor???? What are you talking about?

When I was a kid we went there when my dad got a promotion and we thought we were the fanciest people on earth. We asked to keep the water bottles they served us from and we treasured them for YEARS

It’s time for elite schools to stop admitting kids of people in the administration

If they hate these universities so much, make them put their money where there mouth is and send their kids to a non-woke school

You can remove the grips. Since handlebars are all hollow tubes it will have an open end you can fit it in there, and then put the grips back on to cover it. But I suspect the opening on most handlebars will be too narrow

It’s definitely not optimal to store an image that way but you can get it to within half an order of magnitude of JPEG storage size at identical SNR really easily, I achieved that on my CPU over a weekend of tweaking

Requires a good positional encoding to get it to work at all though. I actually think I have a new result to speed up training these NERF-like models from playing around and I haven’t been able to find any literature remotely similar. May try to submit it somewhere over the summer

It’s faster at inference time I thought? It’s been a while since I looked into it as well
