Made new test prints on some off-cuts, using a slightly stronger developer solution than usual to see impact on max. depth. The main image (Eagle Creek, Oregon) is using 18% sodium acetate (curve corrected negative), the test strips are of 20% and 15% solutions (both uncorrected). The phone capture doesn't really show the differences too well, but I think I will go for the 18-20% from now on...
(Btw. The original image is here:

iPhone photo of 3 printed pieces of paper on a table., the largest showing a kallitype print of a moody scene of a mountain creak flowing through a wintry forest canyon. Below the main image are two smaller test strips showing gradients and checkerboard patterns (partially cut off)

Quick test of recording from the mill on the $40 amazon USB microscope/endoscope/whatever camera.
Endmill is 250 μm diameter for scale, overall camera FOV a couple of mm. The QFN lands around the perimeter are 500 μm pitch.
Vibration degrades the image quite a bit when the motor is running due to the rather unstable mount I have right now. You can see in the last few seconds when I turn the spindle off, the image quality improves a lot.
Audio is not great, but with a mill s…

This is a test of @altbot
Sprague Lake in snow.
Retrying altbot

This is the alt text generated by altbot for this image. It’s pretty accurate as a description of the image itself, which is all they’ve got to work with, obviously. A black-and-white winter scene depicts a landscape with a partially frozen lake, snow-covered evergreen trees, and falling snow. The foreground shows a dark, icy lake surface with snow along its edges, bordered by tall trees heavily coated in snow on the right side. In the background, a dense forest of snow-draped evergreen trees …

Just a little one and a half hour walk nearby before it was supposed to be raining (and rugby starts).
It was a nice walk and good to be out. Strangely, my old GPS device refused to get a location despite having lots of satellites. Just 10min before coming back (after a couple of restarts and taking the batteries out and back in) it worked.
Fortunately, I only had it with me to test if my heart rate monitor also connects to it.

A serene and inviting rural scene unfolds in this image, capturing the tranquil beauty of a forest trail. The foreground features a well-maintained gravel path, gently winding its way through the landscape. The path is bordered by a rustic wooden fence on the left, adding a touch of charm and guiding the viewer's eye deeper into the scene. In the background, a cluster of tall evergreen trees stands majestically, their lush green foliage creating a natural canopy. The trees add a sense of depth…

Another AI depth mapping test, applying The vOICe for Android monocular AI depth view to the stereo vision test image <scene1.row3.col1.png> from the web page stereo--vision.com/kiji1e.html AI wrongly "thinks" the lamp is behind the bust, but otherwise it's not too bad.

Very few of us remember a company named Palantir.
No I don't mean that satanic data gathering atrocity that we read about in the daily news-of-the-awful.
No, I mean the company in the mid 1980's that built networked image scanners (sort of like a network of "office" ink jet printers.)
One of the cool aspects of their products is that they had a test program that would exercise the pieces of the machine - it would drive the various stepper motors and make i…

So, got the server in place but discovered that the Docker image that I created that has the Sisyphus client and all of the binaries like `ffmpeg`, `av1an` was not very happy. Ffmpeg crashed because it couldn't find the `libSvtAvcEnc.so.4` library which was because I had a custom version of it installed (`svt-av1-psyex`).
Got the Dockerfile fixed by installing `svt-av1-psyex` and then compiling `ffmpeg` against those libraries, then installing both `svt-av1-psyex` and `ffmpeg` int…

The worker JSON information returned from the server showing that `encoder02` is currently processing a test video using the `av1an` module.

Series D, Episode 03 - Traitor
AVON: So Tarrant, this is your big moment.
TARRANT: If the teleport works.
VILA: It's working perfectly now, I checked it myself.
DAYNA: [Laughs] Yes, but would you use it yourself Vila? That's the real test.

Claude Sonnet 4 describes the image as: "This appears to be a scene from the British science fiction television series "Blake's 7," likely from the later seasons. The setting is the flight deck or bridge of a futuristic spacecraft, featuring the distinctive white and gray aesthetic typical of the show's production design. The environment has a sterile, high-tech appearance with curved architectural elements and what appears to be computer stations or control panels. The scene shows several cre…
