If you’ve followed me on other platforms ( 🤢 ) you might know I’ve spent the last few years doing computational cinema / edit understanding. I’m happy to say we’ve got the first public live narrative search engine for film and tv! It’s early days. But check it out! ozu.ai

I probably should have done this many years ago, but I finally got around to adding some useful debug features to my old Shadows sample. You can now "freeze" the cascades and zoom out, and draw them to see what they look like. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D4A... github.com/TheRealMJP/S...

I don't quite know how to talk about what's happened yesterday in DC, and broadly speaking, quite regularly now - and how it pertains to me being who I am and where I'm from. I'd prefer if I didn't have to, tbqh, but that is appearing to be less of an option.

A note on the discourse. The murder of 2 Israeli embassy workers is now widely addressed as ‘Antisemitic’. Anyone following the discourse will see this is a new development, as many previous violent near-misses were regarded as ‘totally not Antisemitic; something else entirely’. Makes ya think.

I stand (sit) behind this: alecjacobson.com/weblog/siggr... I will also warn Israeli potential attendants (meaning any civilian connection to Israel, like familial relations, loose as it may be) risk *getting kidnapped or worse*. Yes, even if you travel with a foreign passport, you may be targeted,

The branch prediction + mixing of privileged/non-privileged programs keeps turning up exploitability. x86 isn't uniquely vulnerable in principle, but the low core count sure helps. ethz.ch/en/news-and-...

Found my mom’s only online copy of her dissertation, “Computer Reconstruction of Bodies Bounded by Quadric Surfaces from a Set of Imperfect Projections”, on a .mil website, and realized the industry is still improving on solutions she pioneered. Happy Mothers’ day. apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA...

Microsoft is bringing back the "Office Startup Assistant": loading the Office .dlls at Windows launch. Reminder: Microsoft Office — and Windows, really — are only successful because Charles Simonyi made it a real-time system - in 1981, on 128KB of RAM and no GPU. www.pcworld.com/article/2651...

I caved and bough an Ibanez SML721 fanned fret guitar. The guitar looks like it commits tax fraud, but it is the easiest instrument I ever played, and by far the most versatile. Can do a Strat ‘quack’, a Tele treble sound or a 72’ Tele neck humbucker sound like Franz Ferdinand. Next level shit
