Original negative for Romero's Day of the Dead, long thought missing, has been found and is being restored for 4K UHD release #horror

Scream Factory Resurrects Romero's DAY OF THE DEAD For 4K UHD Restoration
Good news, zombie fans - the original film elements for George A. Romero's DAY OF THE DEAD have officially been unearthed by Scream Factory, with a 4K UHD restoration coming soon.

Murderbot was so damn good! I have just one tiny complaint. The text was too small. I don’t watch it on a huge 72” TV, so whenever they would show text from SecUnit I’d have to get closer to the screen to read it.

Restriction problem for mod $p$ representations of $\text{GL}_2$ over a finite field
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q = p^f$ elements. We study the restriction of two classes of mod $p$ representations of $G_q = \text{GL}_2({\mathbb{F}_q})$ to $G_p = \text{GL}_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$. We first study the restrictions of principal series which are obtained by induction from a Borel subgroup $B_q$. We then analyze the restrictions of inductions from an anisotropic torus $T_q$ which are related to cuspidal representations. Complete decompositions are given in both cases acco…

i was put in charge of three grandchildren for a few hours yesterday so we headed straight to ben & jerry's to split a milkshake, then explored the state theater (and even sneaked into a movie but later got thrown out for horsing around on the escalator), then i gave a nickel tour of angell/mason/haven halls, then they chased squirrels on the diag which took longer than you might think, then we looked in all the windows in nickels arcade. it all went slowly and well.

An Iterative PDE Based Illumination Restoration Scheme for Image Enhancement
We present a novel iterative scheme for restoring uneven illumination in grayscale images. Our approach solves, at each global iteration, a nonlinear elliptic equation for an auxiliary field $u$ and then updates the illumination via an explicit time-marching step driven by the logarithmic potential of $u$. We establish existence and uniqueness of the discrete subproblems, analyze convergence of the fixed point iteration, and demonstrate performance on standard test images, reporting PSNR and SS…

Text-Aware Image Restoration with Diffusion Models
Image restoration aims to recover degraded images. However, existing diffusion-based restoration methods, despite great success in natural image restoration, often struggle to faithfully reconstruct textual regions in degraded images. Those methods frequently generate plausible but incorrect text-like patterns, a phenomenon we refer to as text-image hallucination. In this paper, we introduce Text-Aware Image Restoration (TAIR), a novel restoration task that requires the simultaneous recovery of…

Riverwest 24 is next weekend. I thought about tossing my bike in the car and driving down to do some laps but then realized it's like 5 miles from my house so I'll just bike down there and do laps, hang out, etc.
