Another way I like to think of it: A lens does it in 2D, converting an incoming light beam into an image, or an image into a light beam. Plane wave <-> delta function.

My contribution to #footpathFriday !
This was a really nice walk. Just as I like it: small paths along a nice mountain.
But I also remember that it was the time I was suffering from something called "frozen shoulder". It was a bit of a challenge to take off /on the backpack. As a wrong movement cause some REAL pain.
But this is over as well and I just try to rec…

Sonnet 127 - CXXVII
In the old age black was not counted fair,
Or if it were, it bore not beauty's name;
But now is black beauty's successive heir,
And beauty slandered with a bastard shame:
For since each hand hath put on Nature's power,
Fairing the foul with Art's false borrowed face,
Sweet beauty hath no name, no holy bower,
But is profaned, if not lives in disgrace.
Therefore my mistress' eyes are raven black,

When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls, all silvered o'er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves,
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves,
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,
Then of thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the …

And another couple of etch cycles on the PIC12F683 done.
On the home stretch, I've almost got the last of the dielectric off. But I don't want to be too aggressive because ideally I'd get a beauty shot of intact poly across the whole die first, *then* undercut the poly and get a substrate image.
So I'm still doing my usual 2 minutes etch, then image routine. It'll take as long as it takes.

Representing Beauty: Towards a Participatory but Objective Latent Aesthetics
What does it mean for a machine to recognize beauty? While beauty remains a culturally and experientially compelling but philosophically elusive concept, deep learning systems increasingly appear capable of modeling aesthetic judgment. In this paper, we explore the capacity of neural networks to represent beauty despite the immense formal diversity of objects for which the term applies. By drawing on recent work on cross-model representational convergence, we show how aesthetic content produces…

Sonnet 068 - LXVIII
Thus is his cheek the map of days outworn,
When beauty lived and died as flowers do now,
Before these bastard signs of fair were born,
Or durst inhabit on a living brow;
Before the golden tresses of the dead,
The right of sepulchres, were shorn away,
To live a second life on second head;
Ere beauty's dead fleece made another gay:
In him those holy antique hours are seen,
Without all ornament, itself and true,…

Cover-Up review – Laura Poitras’s Seymour Hersh documentary is a thrilling ode to journalism

Just finished "Age 16" by Rosena Fung. It's an excellent semi-autobiographical graphic novel about beauty standards, being fat, and how these things echo down generations, connecting 1954 Guangdong, 1972 Hong Kong, and 2000 Toronto.
The art is lovely, as is the message of accepting your body and standing up to your family when necessary.

O! that you were your self; but, love, you are
No longer yours, than you your self here live:
Against this coming end you should prepare,
And your sweet semblance to some other give:
So should that beauty which you hold in lease
Find no determination; then you were
Yourself again, after yourself's decease,
When your sweet issue your sweet form should bear.
Who lets so fair a house fall to decay,
Which husbandry…

In the intricate architecture of plant tissues, beauty often emerges from chaos, according to new research from Cornell researchers. Findings from a recent study show how randomness and growth together create the striking cellular patterns that shape plant organs—and perhaps all multicellular life.

The cruel beauty in the evolutionary mechanism that every time saves humanity:
Young people telling the old fools they suck, and the old fools crossing their arms to see how, if left on their own, the young'uns would definitely fail.
Often preceded by:
Old fools grumbling about "young people these days," which makes the young people even more irate.

Day 1 in the Black Forest - Getting Into The Mood
Our first day in the Black Forest unfolded in serene beauty, unfolding a six-hour hike through sun-dappled ridges and mossy streams. Beginning with quiet observation to awaken the photographic eye, we captured unique perspectives of the forest’s textures and light.

I just read about #FootpathFriday and thought this photo from my last blogpost could fit as well.
