1.7x speedup on the 100baseT1 decode from doing the PAM3 demodulation (but not the descrambling) in a shader.
Now the whole baseT1 demo is running at about 8 WFM/s, with a roughly 125ms filter graph execution time (on 80ms of waveform data, so real time would be 12.5 WFM/s)
This breaks down (roughly, not exact due to parallel execution) to:
* 1.3 ms subtract diffpair legs
* 10.6 ms de-embed directional coupler
* 0.6 ms equalization
* 7.5 ms upsample
* 14…

Final tweaks (version 11 by now) of the tone curve for digital negatives for my current combination of emulsion & developer: It's pretty impressive how even minute changes to black & white points of the curve have quite noticeable impact on the rest.

The EU has confirmed that Greenland falls under article 42.7 of the EU-treaty, the mutual defence clause. If the USA is so stupid to take Greenland against the will of Greenland/Denmark and the EU. It will suffer enormously, all US military bases in Europe will have to close. Power projection in Africa and the Middle East will become very hard. To name just one thing.

Ich schenke die Bücher her, bevorzugt alle drei an eine Adresse, würde aber gerne die Versandkosten haben (wahrscheinlich irgendwas um die 7-9 Euro für's Gesamtpaket). »Pflanzen sprechen dich an« ist von 1960, »Das praktische Gartenbuch« ist von 1958, »Pflanzenschutz im Biogarten« ist von 1990. Alle sind in gutem Zustand und IIRC ohne Markierungen.

Good Morning #Canada
There have been many dark days in Canada, from natural disasters to personal tragedies. And there are also emotional dark days like when Doug Ford was elected Premier.... twice.
The most mysterious darkest day in Canadian history occurred on November 7, 1819, when the sun refused to rise over New Brunswick. And it wasn't even a Monday. Although 1st person accounts described it as an unusually dreary day, later newspaper accounts were slightly more sensational. Reporters documented that a "black veil" or intense, unnatural darkness descended upon New Brunswick. The sky remained so dark that residents were forced to light candles in the middle of the day. Apparently the phenomenon caused widespread alarm with many believing it was the apocalypse or a divine awful visitation. According to newspaper reports there was mild hysteria, outright madness, and praying and searching for cover. Just like the day after Ford was elected.

Oh well, our upcoming client doesn't provide cc files for each shot. Instead, we need to extract the grading values from an EDL file. Fortunately I've already written a script to do that a few years ago for another show.
The time to write a script might be more than what it takes to do the task manually (here it would be copying values from a text file to an xml file). But it pays off if you have to repeat the task. Even if that is 7 years later.
Is 7-6 as funny as 6-7?

If you liked the AppleTV series, Slow Horses, I recommend reading the books. There are some minor and some major departures. I just finished no. 7, Slough House. They haven’t got that far yet in the series. I’m thoroughly enjoying the books. I have to put them down at 9 o’clock, 2 hours before I go to bed. And I have to wait a few days, well, a week, between books. A sort of palate cleanse. More like decompressing, tbh. Herron pulled a switch at the end that floored me.
