Pelican is putting out a 12" EP 'Ascending' on January 9 with Flickering Resonance era tracks. The last two had a limited release in 2024, and the title track was left off Flickering Resonance as they felt it was more its own thing. Didn't know if I was gonna like Geoff Rickly's (from Thursday) vocals on the 'vocal version' of 'Cascading Crescent', but it rips: <…

This week we lost avantgarde filmmaker Ken Jacobs, whose flickering experiments with film and light reinforced the lesson of variable media preservation: we keep things alive by keeping them moving.

Generative Latent Video Compression
Perceptual optimization is widely recognized as essential for neural compression, yet balancing the rate-distortion-perception tradeoff remains challenging. This difficulty is especially pronounced in video compression, where frame-wise quality fluctuations often cause perceptually optimized neural video codecs to suffer from flickering artifacts. In this paper, inspired by the success of latent generative models, we present Generative Latent Video Compression (GLVC), an effective framework for…

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very
pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love
grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning
and unquenchable.
-- Bruce Lee

Sometimes I catch myself slipping into digital nihilism, staring at the internet as if it were some twisted feast of flickering shadows that I don’t need to feed on just to keep moving.
You wouldn’t try to live by swallowing a screen or digest pixels, so why treat this endless stream of noise as anything close to essential?
The so-called connections are just distractions, echoes bouncing off empty walls, and the identities online slip through like smoke dissolving before you even…

Pretty sure the power supply in this switch is fried. Possibly a short in the coil/transformer next to the hot power regulator.

Hunt for the mHz variability in the TESS and XMM-Newton observations of nova-like cataclysmic variables
We analysed the flickering of selected nova-like cataclysmic variables observed by the TESS satellite and XMM-Newton. We searched for break frequencies ($f_{\rm b}$) in the corresponding power density spectra (PDS), and for any long-term evolution. We found a new optical $f_{\rm b}$ in three nova-like systems and confirmed that the value of this frequency is clustered around 1 mHz. V504 Cen and V751 Cyg show possible X-ray counterparts of $f_{\rm b}$ that had previously only been seen in MV Lyr…

This isn’t about Liquid Glass, which probably works better in Safari than in most other apps; I mean basic stuff like some sites just render blank or there’s 60-hz GPU flickering and many outright freezes and crashes
