Ordered Dithering with Arbitrary or Irregular Colour Palettes
Introduction Hello. I have recently been spending a lot of time dithering. In image processing, dithering is the act of applying intentional perturbations or noise in order to compensate for the in…

The unusual electronic and optical properties of #perovskites have long been touted as useful for improving solar cells and television screens,
but these materials have never quite hit the big time.
Existing approaches have hoovered up all the investment and attention, and perovskites remain confined to specialist applications.
Now researchers at Empa, ETH Zurich and the Politecnico…

Perovskite nanocrystal computer components inspired by brain cells
Researchers at Empa, ETH Zurich and the Politecnico di Milano are developing a new type of computer component that is more powerful and easier to manufacture than its predecessors. Inspired by the human brain, it is designed to process large amounts of data fast and in an energy-efficient way.

Social media algorithms prioritize right-wing content and influence the political views and behavior of real users. This is the finding of the recent study “The political effects of X’s feed algorithm”: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10098-2

The political effects of X’s feed algorithm - Nature
Among users initially on a chronological feed, 7 weeks of exposure to X’s algorithmic feed in 2023 shifted political attitudes and account-following behaviour in a more conservative direction compared with those remaining on a chronological feed, whereas switching the feed setting in the opposite direction, from algorithmic to chronological, had no effect.

Heute vor 3 Jahren: Am 24. Januar 2023 stellte das "Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists" die #Weltuntergangsuhr auf 90 Sekunden vor 12 - nach 2020 neuer Spitzenwert. Die Gründe sind die russische Invasion in der Ukraine und dadurch schwindendes Interesse für den Klimawandel.

Die Abhängigkeit von Microsoft hat einen Preis – und der steigt rasant.
Christoph Schmees zeigt: Bundesbehörden zahlten 2023 noch 274 Mio. €, 2025 schon 481 Mio. €. Mit angeschlossenen Stellen fast eine Milliarde jährlich. Transparenz? Fehlanzeige. Digitale Souveränität wäre offensichtlich günstiger.

It's kind of hilarious that Xe wrote this in 2023, I read it then and thought it was too far fetched because no IT dept would ever trust an AI to *talk to customers* for them, let alone have access to the database and other things to try to fix problems on its own, and n…

Apart from developing a 1st offshore storage site, Denmark awarded subsidies💶 in tenders. Those came with a catch: deliver on time - or face penalties. The winner of the first tender in 2023, Ørsted with two bioenergy🪵🔥 plants, is already struggling with delays.
In the last round, 9 of 10 preselected applicants dropped out, all of them bioenergy🪵🔥 or waste-to-energy🗑️🔥 plants. Did I say 9? Well, 9 announced it, but one mystery🔮 bidder decided to un-drop out. The tender ended with two b…

Mein Vater war (guter) Kunde im Mitarbeiter-Shop des Unternehmens, bei dem er 2004 nach 35 Jahren Betriebszugehörigkeit in Rente ging. Zuletzt hat er dort 2018 oder 2019 eingekauft, im Januar 2023 ist er verstorben. Ich habe den Shop mehrfach darüber informiert. Kurz vor Weihnachten erneut Werbepost an die Adresse des im Frühjahr 2022 verkauften Elternhauses. Ich überlege jetzt, mal den Datenschutzzuständigen ausfindig zu machen und anzufragen, ob das da alles DSGVO-konform abläuft.

Meta is on trial in New Mexico to answer allegations that its social media platforms enable predators to target children for sexual exploitation. The case is one of a series of lawsuits nationwide accusing social media companies of not doing enough to protect children online. New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez sued Meta in 2023 alleging its platforms enable predators to target children for sexual exploitation. Meta denies the allegation and accuses prosecutors of taking a “sensationalis…
