After five years, you can actually, finally remove a chain-link fence in a photo in Google Photos on the pixel. I'm really impressed with the results!

Freeing up a bus operator to handle safety issues, encourage fare enforcement, and assist with accessibility needs would be great for many lines.

Like how trams in Amsterdam have an attendant at the back who only handles those issues, rather than driving the tram.

Love SF (and your photos of her), but pic #4 isn’t selling it to beat Nola

The easiest way to see for yourself if a model is a glorified autocomplete it to ask it something relevant to spatial logic. Ask it how it might balance an egg, a textbook, a donut, and an automobile. If it were simply autocomplete, the answer wouldn’t make sense.

Adobe’s new iOS camera app created by the creator of the Google Pixel’s cameras, Mark Levoy, brings me back a decade to an underpowered DSLR.

Pics from (beta) Project Indigo are punchy & resolution is meh (most come out 9-12MP), so the result are photos you’d find in a “Summer NYC 2009” photo album

Shoutout to members of Korea’s Assembly for taking the time to put on suits for the 1AM emergency meeting.

I probably would’ve rushed there in pajamas…

It’s changing! Especially after the pandemic.

Photoshop's AI features for generating new objects is terrible, but fixing backgrounds has taken a huge step up for digital art and touchups.

Now might be a good time to remember that gun laws work!

Storage laws [1-2], concealed limits [3-4], expand federal checks to local, state, mental health, & military data [5-7], waiting periods [7-9], required training [7, 9], & risk seizure laws [11] all reduce death in real-world research.

Buffalo’s late-modern utilitarian brutalism used in subway stations is always fun to explore; like stepping back in time to an optimistic world that never quite came to fruition.

They should have put the Bills stadium right here.

Photographic styles on the iPhone 16 are pretty fun (these are some unedited photos straight from the camera), but the UI using things like “tone” is straddling a strange middle-ground between “too confusing for casual users,” and “terms meaningless to actual photographers.”

Why’d I switch?
