Selling fear, garbage islands, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#36)
This week we had some Apple announcements, more pieces on text-2-image models (Stable Diffusion), and a worrying piece on the contamination of seas. Let’s start: Selling the Apocalypse for profit Nice piece that talks about a recent trend on consumer electronics. A few years ago, Apple used to make adds with people dancing in funny…

AI artists, postdoc scarcity, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#35)
Back to the routine, and even though the return has been a bit hard, I still had the energy to read some interesting stuff. This week we have some links on the effects of AI art generation and surveillance, and a few examples on how rotten the academic world is (but also some measurements that…

The death of social media, harvesting cloned organs, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#31)
Holidays are here, but before I leave for a few weeks (do not expect a lot of content during the rest of August), there are a few cool links that I want to share. Let’s start: IKEA-mobile Useless hacks are always the coolest. Controlling your sofa with a Wii nunchuck? Why would you want to…

China being hacked, green energy?, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#27)
Hardly finding some time to read these days, and almost even harder to write a post… I am in need of holidays. Let’s start: The biggest hack ever? The numbers here are astonishing. Almost one thousand million people’s data being hacked is no joke, and to make things worse, it seems that it was not…

Large field-of-view non-invasive imaging through scattering layers using fluctuating random illumination
During my stay in Paris, one of the topics I have been working on is related to the problem of imaging objects hidden by scattering media. While seeing stuff through transparent materials is quite easy, the thing becomes much more complicated when light gets randomly deviated in all directions. This might seem quite a particular…
