This. It's nuts how the whole industry accepts that typesetting engine from 80s with bunch of hacks on top is currently dominating cross-platform UI development.

As someone who passionately and ardiently hates prolifiration of this set of _hacks on top of hacks_ called CSS (and CSS/JS/HTML aka Web-stack), I must say this is good and valid use case for CSS. :)

To be fair FIFA is one of the best international federations in terms of good governance. Dutch sport think-tank Play The Game has an assestment methodology and the project called "Sports Governance Observer" and did asses FIFA in 2018 [1]

FIFA gets disproportionate amount of attention and, ofc, high-level corruption scandals, but I would say it's more like a by-product of the sheer scale of the football, and not a problem with FIFA itself. I believe most sports federations in the world are very far from FIFA in terms of governance, but also from facing problems that FIFA has.

This method of animated QR data transfer is quite efficient with fountain codes. I had PoC implementation back in the day - Txqr [1] [2]

Recently I rewrote it in Dart/Flutter and finally implemented RaptorQ codes (way more efficient than Luby used in original Txqr). Testing it internally now, prepareing Appstores/GooglePlay/Web deployment and new article.


And how did you style it like Anthropic design system? :D


Does anyone know if it's already possible to build gaussian splat of the person that moves/rotates from the single camera? (I.e. to use sequence of frames to reconstruct occluded parts of the body for other frames)


I watched this 1 month old video two days ago:

It kinda splatted my mind.

As I understand it, Gussian Splats aren’t a method of constructing missing data in the sense you’re asking here.

But there are other, well established, methods of generating missing data in convincing manner, that are beyond my field of expertise or interest to be able to repeat here.

With the added benefit that if I’m wrong, being wrong can be a great way to spur discussion 8)


There is definitely some body of research around what I'm asking [1] [2]. Just curious if someone have a good grasp on the current state of it.

Cloudflare blogs have been excellent for many years, long before transformers arrived.


Oh those Decepticons…


What age verification has to do with stopping fake news or harassment?


Normal human exhales roughly 0.7-1.0 kg of CO2 over 8h.


And how much do they exhale over 8h of AI use?


And an AI is decidedly not human.


but that's not a choice


You're not the first :)

If you know how to do masking with video in Davinci, then it all just applies to photos too. I tried today some basic Magic Mask and color tab editing with photos, and it works exactly the same (without the annoying waiting time on huge videos for Magic Mask, ofc).


I've just now had a look at a couple of YouTube tutorials on Magic Mask for video and I think I understand where I got lost. It looks like the tools I was looking for are on the Color tab, and I first need to drag my images in to the timeline at the bottom of the screen and then jump to the Color tab to work with them.

All the tools are here for a good photo editing product - they just need to be extracted and arranged in a way that is intuitive for photo editing, and this would be a legitimate LR alternative.

edit: This is a great video on the Photo tools: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuKgfytA0lg. I do feel a little more confident that I could use Resolve for editing after watching this.


Yeah, it's questionable that Davinci layout will yield a good photo experience, but it's interesting development anyway. BTW, that's the reason I like Photomator - it has absolute minimum of what I typically would use, and it's all there. Like, there is a hotkey for autoaligning horizont (and quite often it actually work), or intuitive AI-powered 'Select subject'/'Select background', and even an easy way to back those typical change into edit that can be applied with a hotkey onto a bunch of photos. It's easy to spot when software was written based on pain points of real end users.
