The Great Covid-19 Lie Machine
Stanford, the Virality Project, and the Censorship of “True Stories”

2.“The release of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s Spring 2020 emails… has been used to exacerbate distrust in Dr. Fauci.”
“Increased distrust in Fauci’s expert guidance.”

3.“Reports of vaccinated individuals contracting Covid-19 anyway”; “natural immunity”; suggesting Covid-19 “leaked from a lab”; even “worrisome jokes”:

4.All were characterized as “potential violations” or disinformation “events” by the Virality Project, a sweeping, cross-platform effort to monitor billons of social media posts by Stanford University, federal agencies, and a slew of (often state-funded) NGOs.

5.Just before @ShellenbergerMD and I testified in the House last week, Virality Project emails were found in the #TwitterFiles describing “stories of true vaccine side effects” as actionable content.

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729180556599298

6.We’ve since learned the Virality Project in 2021 worked with government to launch a pan-industry monitoring plan for Covid-related content. At least six major Internet platforms were “onboarded” to the same JIRA ticketing system, daily sending millions of items for review.

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729182712483842

7.Though the Virality Project reviewed content on a mass scale for Twitter, Google/YouTube, Facebook/Instagram, Medium, TikTok, and Pinterest, it knowingly targeted true material and legitimate political opinion, while often being factually wrong itself.

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729185707122691

8.This story is important for two reasons. One, as Orwellian proof-of-concept, the Virality Project was a smash success. Government, academia, and an oligopoly of would-be corporate competitors organized quickly behind a secret, unified effort to control political messaging.



Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) 2023-03-17 14:00:21 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729187716268035

9.Two, it accelerated the evolution of digital censorship, moving it from judging truth/untruth to a new, scarier model, openly focused on political narrative at the expense of fact.

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729190073397252

10.THE BEGINNING: On February 5, 2021, just after Joe Biden took office, Stanford wrote to Twitter to discuss the Virality Project. By the 17th, Twitter agreed to join and got its first weekly report on “anti-vax disinformation,” which contained numerous true stories.





Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) 2023-03-17 14:00:23 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729192489336835

11.  February 22, 2021: Stanford welcomed Twitter veterans like Yoel Roth and Brian Clarke, instructing them on how to join the group JIRA system. You can watch the friendly welcome video here: https://t.co/E2KfN87GlI

12.  March 2, 2021: "We are beginning to ramp up our notification process to platforms.” In addition to the top-7 platforms, VP soon gained "visibility" to “alternative platforms such as Gab, Parler, Telegram, and Gettr” – near-total surveillance of the social media landscape.

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729197707100162

13.Through July of 2020, Twitter’s internal guidance on Covid-19 required a story be “demonstrably false” or contain an “assertion of fact” to be actioned. But the Virality Project, in partnership with the CDC, pushed different standards.







Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) 2023-03-17 14:00:24 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729200110452738

14.VP told Twitter that “true stories that could fuel hesitancy,” including things like “celebrity deaths after vaccine” or the closure of a central NY school due to reports of post-vaccine illness, should be considered "Standard Vaccine Misinformation on Your Platform."





Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) 2023-03-17 14:00:25 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729203323273216

15. In one email to Twitter, VP addressed what it called the “vaccine passport narrative,” saying “concerns” over such programs “have driven a larger anti-vaccination narrative about the loss of rights and freedoms.”
This was framed as a "misinformation" event.





Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) 2023-03-17 14:00:26 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729206741581824

16.VP routinely framed real testimonials about side effects as misinformation, from “true stories” of blood clots from AstraZeneca vaccines to a New York Times story about vaccine recipients who contracted the blood disorder thrombocytopenia.







Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) 2023-03-17 14:00:27 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729210713645056

http://17.By March of 2021, Twitter personnel were aping VP language, describing "campaigns against vaccine passports," "fear of mandatory immunizations," and "misuse of official reporting tools" as "potential violations."





Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) 2023-03-17 14:00:28 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729213616046081

18.  This echoed a report to Twitter by the Global Engagement Center re “Russia-linked” accounts: “While this account posts legitimate and accurate COVID-19 updates... it posts content that attacks Italian politicians, the EU, and the United States.” https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u2412d1uWlBr4w5wEEWv6H8Cl8PKyIW0/view

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729216644382720

19.That same GEC report found in the #TwitterFiles identified former Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, and former Italian Democratic Party Secretary Nicola Zingaretti (who’s been compared to Bernie Sanders) as “highly connective” accounts in a “Russia-linked” network.

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729219978764288

20.The Virality Project helped pioneer the gauging of “disinformation” by audience response. If the post-vaccine death of a black woman named Drene Keyes in Virginia went unnoticed inspired mostly “anti-vaccine” comments on local media, it became a “disinformation” event.





Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) 2023-03-17 14:00:30 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729222679986176

21.VP warned against people “just asking questions,” implying it was a tactic “commonly used by spreaders of misinformation." It also described a "Worldwide Rally for Freedom planned over Telegram" as a disinformation event.







Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) 2023-03-17 14:00:31 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729226370990080

22."ALMOST ALWAYS REPORTABLE" It encouraged platforms to target people, not posts, using Minority Report-style “pre-crime” logic. Describing “repeat offenders” like Robert Kennedy, Jr., it spoke of a “large volume of content that is almost always reportable.”





Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) 2023-03-17 14:00:31 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729229097201665

23.VP was repeatedly, extravagantly wrong. In one email to Twitter on “misinformation,” it spoke of wanting to “hone in” on an “increasingly popular narrative about natural immunity.”





Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) 2023-03-17 14:00:32 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729233027260419

24.The VP in April 2021 mistakenly described “breakthrough” infections as “extremely rare events” that should not be inferred to mean “vaccines are ineffective.”





Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) 2023-03-17 14:00:33 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729235837526016

25.Later, when “the CDC changed its methodology for counting Covid-19 cases among vaccinated people,” only counting those resulting in hospitalization or death, VP complained that “anti-vaccine” accounts RFK Jr. and “WhatsHerFace” retweeted the story to suggest “hypocrisy.”





Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) 2023-03-17 14:00:34 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729238500917248

26.A few months later: “Breakthrough cases are happening.”

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729241109659650

http://27.In a chilling irony, the VP ran searches for the term “surveillance state.” As an unaccountable state-partnered bureaucracy secretly searched it out, the idea that “vaccines are part of a surveillance state” won its own thoughtcrime bucket: “conspiracy.”





Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) 2023-03-17 14:00:35 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729243672379397

28.After about a year, on April 26, 2022, the VP issued a report calling for a “rumor-control mechanism to address nationally trending narratives,” and a “Misinformation and Disinformation Center of Excellence” to be housed within CISA, at the Department of Homeland Security.

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729246172291078

29.  The next day, April 27, 2022, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced in a House Appropriations Subcommittee hearing that a “Disinformation Governance Board” had been created, to be headed by the singing censor, Nina Jankowitz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ypfVsVA70M

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729248843984901

30.Even in its final report, VP claimed it was misinformation to suggest the vaccine does not prevent transmission, or that governments are planning to introduce vaccine passports. Both things turned out to be true.



Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) 2023-03-17 14:00:37 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729250840543233

31.The Virality Project was specifically not based on “assertions of fact,” but public submission to authority, acceptance of narrative, and pronouncements by figures like Anthony Fauci. The project's central/animating concept was, "You can't handle the truth."



Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) 2023-03-17 14:00:37 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729252950278150

32. One of its four core partners, Pentagon-funded Graphika, explained in a report about “Fauxi” that because the public cannot be trusted to make judgements on its own, it must be shielded from truths that might undermine its faith in authority.





Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) 2023-03-17 14:00:38 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729256225931267

33. “This continual process of seeding doubt and uncertainty in authoritative voices,” Graphika wrote, in a report sent to Twitter, “leads to a society that finds it too challenging to identify what’s true or false.”





Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) 2023-03-17 14:00:38 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729258717462529

34.For this reason, the CDC-partnered project focused often on disinformation “events” involving Fauci, saying “release of Fauci’s emails foments distrust,” and deriding assertions he “misled the public.”

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729261745733633

35.A Cleveland Clinic study showed previous infection offered the “same immunity” as the vaccine, but VP said discovery was susbservient to narrative: “Whether or not... scientific consensus is changing, ‘natural immunity’ is a key narrative… among anti-vaccine activists.”







Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) 2023-03-17 14:00:40 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729265122168835

36."OFTEN TRUE CONTENT" The Virality Project communications mirror those produced in the recent court case Louisiana vs Biden, which showed Facebook admitting to the WHO that it, too, was censoring true content.





Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) 2023-03-17 14:00:41 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729268557234176

37.From the start, Stanford explained the Virality Project would essentially continue the work of its 2020 Election Integrity Partnership. “The same JIRA system from the EIP is up and running,” they wrote.





Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) 2023-03-17 14:00:42 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729272474771459

38.  In the last #TwitterFiles thread, we posted a video of EIP Director Alex Stamos describing that project as Stanford trying to “fill the gap of things the government couldn’t do” legally. (h/t Foundation for Freedom Online). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbF2UXKV1q8

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729274789949440

39.We also showed video in which Stamos introduced EIP Research Director Renee DiResta as having “worked for the CIA.” DiResta in 2021-2022 would be listed as a “Stanford scholar,” “leading” the Virality Project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsooGvgLh7U

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729278443208704

40.  By October 2020, Stamos was hinting at the direction of the future Virality Project, telling a national cybersecurity conference that the “Anti-Disinformation” mission needed a new focus.

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729280653565955

41.“We talk way too much about foreign…it's sexy, and it's fun, and it's a little bit cold warry,” Stamos said, adding the “vast majority” of problems were now domestic. “We have like an 80-20 breakdown... I think that needs to be flipped.”

42.VP’s partners: DOD-funded Graphika, the National Science Foundation funded Center for an Informed Public (CIP), the GEC-funded DFRLab, and the NYU Center for Social Media and Politics, or CSMaP.

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729286357925888

43.VP would later say it partnered with “several government agencies,” including the Office of the Surgeon General and the CDC. It reportedly also worked with DHS’s CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) and GEC, among others.

http://44.To recap: America’s information mission went from counterterrorism abroad, to stopping “foreign interference” from reaching domestic audiences, to 80% domestic content, much of it true. The “Disinformation Governance Board” is out; but truth-policing is not.

Станок, за час выполняющий месячную работу резчика, не приводит к десятикратному увеличению количества изысканных барельефов в каждом доме. Он скорее рождает интерьеры, в которых:
а) ценится ручная работа (единицы),
б) резные изделия считаются кичем и дурновкусием (тысячи).

The idea that all the FAANG companies hired too much is kind of ridiculous when you know what needs to get done. Failure to organize people and projects effectively doesn't mean you don't actually need the people. Fix the management issues and you might need to hire even more.

@justinfagnani I think there's some merit to the idea that some managers are motivated to increase headcount in order to improve their own career outlook. This isn't unique to FAANG or even tech though.

@sean_j_roberts This is definitely true. The irony is that most orgs really could also put that headcount to very productive use. But managers also like to make new vanity projects instead of addressing long standing feature requests, bugs, migrations, etc.

Задача написания полезного текста (и полезного кода как частного его случая) сложна и автоматизируется сейчас.
Задачи попроще*, типа управления поездами, самолётами и ядерными реакторами, автоматизировались раньше.
Скоро операторы ИИ откроют для себя психологию автоматизации.

* попроще прежде всего в смысле размерностей пространства как управляющих воздействий (всегда), так и входных параметров (в штатных режимах)

…что же до цены ошибки, то для текста и кода она мала лишь в среднем, а на хвосте распределения уделает даже самолёт с ядерным реактором.

Текущая обстановка восторга «мама, смотри, оно едет без рук!» не даёт ощутить проблему.
Во-первых, пока всё еще немного всё равно, куда ехать, и даже в столб приехать в чем-то интересно.
Во-вторых и в-главных, восторг подразумевает вовлечённость в процесс.

А проблема — в скуке.

- having defeated those, it must then (eventually) become impossible to eliminate, or be undetectable

- having done that, it must (eventually) make itself uniformly lethal

@ESYudkowsky - having done *that*, the a.i then needs to ensure that when everyone is dead it can go on functioning without people otherwise it did this for no reason

Почему тигр оранжевый, если он хищник и должен быть незаметным?

Просто у его жертв обычно лишь два типа рецепторов цвета (у человека 3). Они не видят разницы между оранжевым и зелёным (можно сравнить с некоторыми дальтониками у людей, у которых не работает один из рецепторов).

https://twitter.com/andrey_sitnik/status/1644694303552204803

@cardinalby Я думаю потому что в «архитектуре млекопитающих» проще развивать слух/нюх, а не зрение.

У млекопитающих серьёзный костыль в зрении, который мешает нам видеть хорошо.

У человека жуткий хак, чтобы костыль обойти.



Cardinal (@cardinalby) 2023-04-08 15:36:32 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/cardinalby/status/1644725922803642369

@andrey_sitnik кажется, очень неполный ответ. Есть и другие трихроматические млекопитающие кроме нас. Я бы ожидал, что дихроматизм позволяет, например лучше видеть в темноте или замечать быстрое движение, а плюсы от трихроматизма меньше чем у нас из-за образа жизни.

https://twitter.com/andrey_sitnik/status/1644727545621872641

@cardinalby Да, Твиттер — много не засунуть. Вот ещё датели:

У млекопитающих нервы идут поверх фоторецепторов, создавая сильные помехи.

Поэтому у большинства млекопитающих зрение очень плохое. Проблему не исправить легко, так как порядок слоёв формируется ещё у эмбриона.



Андрей Ситник (@andrey_sitnik) 2023-04-08 15:44:40 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/andrey_sitnik/status/1644727969255129091

@cardinalby Там не только нервы, но и сосуды идут поверх сетчатки ещё сильнее нарушая картинку.

У человека зрение на порядок лучше большинства млекопитающих из-за жуткого хака.

У нас в центре сетчатки нервы подсоединены под углом — создавая небольшую точку, расчищенную от помех.



Андрей Ситник (@andrey_sitnik) 2023-04-08 15:45:48 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/andrey_sitnik/status/1644728255298121729

@cardinalby Только эта точки видит в большом разрешении. Вся остальная сетчатка из-за нервов и сосудов видит в очень низком разрешении.

Но мозг этой точкой сканирует все объекты и «кеширует» их вид. Поэтому нам кажется, что мы видим чётко.

https://twitter.com/andrey_sitnik/status/1644728626984747014

@cardinalby Уровень хака у человека показывает насколько зрение фундаментально сломано у млекопитающих.

Поэтому ставка делается на другие органы чувств.

Да и у слуха/нюха есть куча плюсов. Они в темноте работают.

@alkkar @andrey_sitnik На нетфликсе есть документалка Life in colour как раз про всякие механизмы окраски у животных.

Там вроде рассказывали, что у млекопитающих в принципе не существует зелёного пигмента для шерсти. Поэтому эволюционно у тигров подобрался максимально похожий для жертвы оранжевый

@alkkar Зелёный попугай совпадает с цветом растительности только для нашего зрения.

Может быть (не точно, не знаю спектров) для животных с 5-ти компонентным зрением он может сильно отличаться.

У птиц, кстати, 4 компонента, больше, чем у людей.

@andrey_sitnik @alkkar У птиц действительно в основном 4 колбочки, хотя это и не доказанный факт. Расцветка же птицам нужна не столько для защиты, сколько для спаривания. Логично, что для многих мелких птиц выживание через размножение является более стабильной ЭСС, чем выживание через скрытность.

Looks like @discord messed up, ruining (even retroactively!) many uploaded images: 1) they strip ICC profiles without color conversion, 2) they do low-quality lossy transcoding (q75 4:2:0 unoptimized libjpeg-turbo?), 3) recompressed images can be bigger than the originals. Ouch!

Stripping ICC profiles without conversion is a very amateurish thing to do. It's like a music score copying machine that removes all clef symbols and key signatures, saying "you don't really need those symbols, all music is in C major and written in the G-clef, right?"

Transcoding uploaded images to q75 4:2:0 jpegs is also pretty bad. People use discord to share digital art, and until now they could share high-quality images as long as they're under 8 MB. Now those images lose a lot of quality, and not just the preview thumbnails. Very sad!

I appreciate that they responded. And I can understand collateral damage in the hustle to fix things.

@ProgramMax @discord Re-encoding from pixels sure is a way to get rid of unintentional acropalypse-caused leftovers, but there are less destructive ways to do it :)

@jonsneyers @discord If this is in response to acropalypse it’s a bit heavy handed, seeing as you could literally just truncate the file to fix it without re-encoding at all…

That said, now I’m wondering if they never stripped GPS EXIF before ????

@nucknyan @jonsneyers If they were serving the trailing "garbage", they certainly weren't running any content-aware processing on it like stripping EXIF tags. Let's just say there's a _reason_ I turned off the GPS EXIF embedding in my phone's settings...

@aapur @discord The ICC stripping is happening with both jpeg and png, but the lossy transcode only with jpeg. The pixel data of png files gets recompressed losslessly, and optimized png files can easily get larger in the process.

Чаще всего эти карты постят в максимально шакальном качестве, не прикладывая ни одной ссылки на исследование или указания авторства. Я почти никогда не нахожу источник.

Many people seem very confused about the new color spaces in CSS so here’s the quick summary:

HSL is a polar form of sRGB, LCH is a polar form of Lab, and Oklch a polar form of Oklab.

[1/3]



Lea Verou (@LeaVerou) 2023-04-11 01:04:37 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/LeaVerou/status/1645593661600673795

Polar forms are generally easier for humans because they more closely match how we think about color (hue, vividness, lightness).

[2/3]



Lea Verou (@LeaVerou) 2023-04-11 01:04:37 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/LeaVerou/status/1645593664603799554

Oklab/Oklch are improved versions of Lab/LCH. They have all benefits of their predecessors but improved perceptual uniformity & hue linearity, especially around blues.

[3/3]



Lea Verou (@LeaVerou) 2023-04-11 01:04:38 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/LeaVerou/status/1645593667464228867

So why use Lab/LCH at all? Oklab/Oklch are newer and less tested (though spreading super fast). Lab/LCH have 47 years of legacy, ie greater compatibility.

https://twitter.com/FidonetRunes/status/1646669654381690882

@LeaVerou And when OKLCH is tested, some very interesting test results emerge, such as https://github.com/LeaVerou/color.js/issues/81#issuecomment-1216715181 for example.

Does anyone know the origin of "mahou shoujo"?
Animage Aug. 1986 issue says that
1. "Majokko" are magical girls who have magical origins.
2. "Mahou shoujo" are ordinary girls who happened to gain magical powers.

However, we cannot say such a definition was shared in the industry

https://twitter.com/htGOIW/status/1647548445027348480

We can't say it's true because Pierrot themselves released an OVA under the name of "Majokko Club."

I thought someone already summarized such a history, but google and twitter seach didin't give me a good answer.

https://twitter.com/htGOIW/status/1647548456565886976

As far as I understand, they still called it "Mahou Series" at the time of Fashion Lala.
At the time of Fancy Lala, the term "Mahou Shoujo Series" appears on some media. But maybe I'm wrong. Some older series might be called Mahou Shoujo.





ehoba (@htGOIW) 2023-04-16 10:32:17 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/htGOIW/status/1647548460105879553

To sum it up, the term Mahou Shoujo appeared in some '80s titles and articles, but it looks like it was not fully recognized as a genre name. Pierrot Mahou Shoujo brand was established in the '90s, but it's just a brand name. When did it become a genre name?



ehoba (@htGOIW) 2023-04-16 10:32:19 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/htGOIW/status/1647548469450784774

Some say it started with Lyrical Nanoha, but that's doubtful. Tenchi Muyo series released Mahou Shoujo Pretty Sammy in the middle '90s, and there was Mahou Shoujo Ai in 2001 too.
Triangle Heart 3 is a pretty old game. I'm not sure how influential it was before the anime.

https://twitter.com/microbry/status/1648231738584477699

@htGOIW The Japanese Wikipedia entry on 魔法少女 says that Toei registered 魔女っ子 as a  trademark in 2003 which reduced the ability of others to use the term.  I would suspect that's when the change occured.



ehoba (@htGOIW) 2023-04-18 07:57:26 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/htGOIW/status/1648234267670089728

@microbry That's a different issue. As I showed in the thread, examples like Pretty Sammy suggest that "mahou shoujo" became a common noun in the '90s. My question here is what was the culture setter.



ehoba (@htGOIW) 2023-04-18 07:59:20 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/htGOIW/status/1648234746374402049

@microbry There are several possibilities:
A: Pierrot made it common already in the '80s (I didn't find such a proof.)

B: Pierrot's brand name after Fancy Lala.

C: Pretty Sammy

D: People came to use the term in the '90s without a particular reason.



ehoba (@htGOIW) 2023-04-18 10:11:32 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/htGOIW/status/1648268015509860352

@microbry At least, Pretty Sammy has lines like "You're a mahou shoujo" without explanations.
And it is true that Fancy Lala was released as "Pierrot Mahou Shoujo Series 15th Anniversary."



ehoba (@htGOIW) 2023-04-18 10:12:59 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/htGOIW/status/1648268379558670336

@microbry Plus, some eroge like Lyrical Omochabako or Mahou Shoujo Ai used the term "mahou shoujo" in 2001. It was a common noun in the late '90s at latest.

It is like mozjpeg but compresses 20-25% more in medium to high quality, and allows HDR.

О серийной установке e-Corner речи пока что не идёт.

Encodec has just changed to an MIT license. Great news for anyone working on LM approaches to audio or just looking for a high-quality audio codec.

No training code but still a really significant change.

Thanks @honualx.

① its own FourCC from the MP4 Registration Authority,

② some support in @FFmpeg that'll allow the latter to say “forget https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/8411 because now there is a MIT-licensed codec with a better Bjøntegaard delta”.

Вчера смотрел на Ютубе как целый кандидат физ.-мат. наук, стипендиат "Династии", 40 минут объясняет опыт Юнга влиянием датчиков на фотоны. Типа, чтобы измерить через какую щель пролетает фотон, с ним надо как-то провзаимодействовать и за счет этого поменяется его поведение.

Но, 1) даже если установить датчик у одной щели, фотон не покажет интерференцию пролетая через другую щель. 2) Влиянием датчиков невозможно объяснить эффект квантового стирания. 3) можно использовать пассивный датчик, например улавливая тепло, излучаемое нагретыми частицами.

Google and Chrome can go screw themselves rotten with their WebP image format.

Photoshop — the world’s most popular designer app — doesn’t even recognise the format, meaning I have to then go onto an ad-infested converter site so it can turn rightfully back into a PNG.

I wonder how different PNGs would be if the filter method was specified before hand, outside of the compressed data.

You could know in advance which scanlines need to be preserved for future filters.

And while I'm at it, I wonder about filters on partial scanlines.

https://twitter.com/jonsneyers/status/1655804158568460288

@ProgramMax JPEG XL effectively does that: the filters are part of the context model (MA trees), which is signalled separately. Also it has tiling (so scanlines are never full, at least for images with large width), and also the x coordinate can influence the filter/predictor...

https://twitter.com/jyzg/status/1655833769977192448

@ProgramMax Filtering is a minor issue in png. The main mistakes:
1. Red, green, blue and alpha bytes are encoded with the same entropy code.
2. LZ codes can copy 32 kB only
3. No 2d referencing. Very expensive just to copy a few pixels from the line above.
4. Byte-oriented LZ, not pixel.

https://twitter.com/jyzg/status/1655834751817711616

@ProgramMax 5. Entropy codes are changed one-dimensionally, but entropy in the image changes in 2d.
6. No way to reuse a previous entropy code, have to resend it (~70 bytes) at switch time.
7. Filters are changed per line, not for 2d areas.
8. Line filter bytes mixed into image entropy.

https://twitter.com/jyzg/status/1655835400315850753

@ProgramMax 9. Paeth, the only non-linear predictor can use different neighboring pixels for red, green, blue, and alpha, adding combinations that hinder LZ, in comparison to making one selection decision per pixel. The same pixel can get 16 variations depending the neighbourhood.

On this day in 1985, the Philadelphia police dropped a bomb on a West Philly neighborhood, specifically on the house of a Black liberation group called MOVE, ki!!ing 11 members, including 5 children, destroying 61 homes and leaving 250 people homeless.

The same day the bombing took place the police were sent to the MOVE house to arrest 4 members. When those inside the house refused to respond, the authorities decided to take extreme measures,  justifying the use of military grade weapons, despite knowledge of children present.

500 police officers fired 10,000 rounds of ammunition at the house. The police commissioner then ordered to bomb the house, with a helicopter dropping a satchel bomb, typically used in combat, onto the roof. After detonation, they let the fire spread throughout the neighborhood.

"Little Secret"? Elie Mystal on Trump's Likely Plan to Steal Election with GOP House Speaker Johnson

With just days to go before the November 5 presidential election, fears are growing that Republicans intend to interfere with the official results in order to install Donald Trump as president. At Sunday’s Madison Square Garden rally, Trump said he had a “little secret” with House Speaker Mike Johnson that would have a “big impact” on the outcome, though neither he nor Johnson elaborated on what that entailed. Elie Mystal, the justice correspondent for The Nation, says the secret is almost certainly a plan to force a contingent election, whereby no candidate wins a majority of the Electoral College and the president is instead chosen by the House of Representatives, where Republicans hold a slim majority. Mystal notes that even if Democrats challenge such an outcome, the case would still end up before a Supreme Court with a conservative supermajority that is likely to side with Trump.

Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud on Refusing Meeting with Trump, Not Endorsing Harris

All eyes are on Michigan as Donald Trump and Kamala Harris battle over undecided voters in the crucial swing state, including many of the state’s 200,000 Arab American and Muslim voters who reject both the Republican and Democratic parties’ stance on Israel and Palestine. We speak to Dearborn, Michigan’s Lebanese American Mayor Abdullah Hammoud, who is the first Arab and Muslim mayor of the city, about many of his constituents’ loss of support for the Democratic Party and how the Arab American vote could impact the presidential election. Hammoud, like many Dearborn residents, has lost extended family to Israel’s attacks on Lebanon, and describes the climate in the city as “a blanket of grief.” Having called for a ceasefire and arms embargo on Israel, he refused to meet with Trump last week, but has also declined to endorse Harris. Hammoud calls on voters to not sit out the election entirely, but to “vote their moral conscience, and says the citizens of Dearborn are “willing to put people over party, first and foremost.”

Linda Sarsour: Harris's Embrace of Pro-Israel Policies at Odds with Democratic Base

In the Arab American-majority city of Dearborn, Michigan, Donald Trump beat Kamala Harris by over six percentage points, with third-party candidate Jill Stein capturing nearly one-fifth of the vote. During the primary elections, a majority of Democratic voters in Dearborn selected “uncommitted” over then-presumptive nominee Joe Biden, citing disapproval of the president’s handling of Israel’s aggression in the Middle East. “Uncommitted” voters continued to press the Harris campaign to shift its Israel policy as the election went on, but were routinely ignored. Democrats “made a calculation that they did not need Arab American, Muslim American and Palestinian American voters,” says Palestinian American organizer Linda Sarsour, who was in Dearborn on election night. We speak to Sarsour about the Harris campaign’s failure to secure the support of a previously key part of the Democratic base. “We are going to be in big trouble, and I blame that solely on the Democratic Party and one of the worst campaigns I have seen in my 23 years in organizing.”

"Complete Charade": Qatar Withdraws from Ceasefire Talks, Middle East Prepares for Trump Presidency

We speak with Dutch Palestinian analyst Mouin Rabbani about the latest developments in the Middle East as Israel continues its deadly assaults on Gaza and Lebanon. Qatar recently announced it will no longer act as mediator for ceasefire talks, saying the two sides were not serious about reaching a deal to stop the fighting. “This entire process from the outset has been a complete charade,” Rabbani says of the U.S.-backed ceasefire negotiations, urging Egypt to follow suit and also stop acting as a mediator. Rabbani also discusses how a second Trump administration could deal with the region, saying Trump’s “erratic” behavior makes predictions difficult, but that signs point to a more aggressive posture toward Iran.

Celebrate Caturday in Style with 26 Moments from the Magical Life of Panko the Chonky Cat Child and All Her Hilarious Feline Friends

Spending Cautrday with a cat, let alone a clouder of cats is a truly special experience. There is almost a slight sense of religion to it in how regimented and celebratory the day is. There are specific feeding times for different kinds of treats, each one representing a different feline quality that we love and cherish. There are specific zoomie times that must be observed and much to our dismay there are the clawminal times that must be observed and not interfered with. So if you are spending your Caturday with cats, or simply want to see what it would be like we made this list to help you celebrate Caturday in style with marvelous moments from the magical life of Panko the chonky cat and all her hilarious feline friends.

From the cute kitten whose favorite part of Caturday is the fish smoothie feeding, to the clawminal catto who is all about the chaos of Caturday, to the flabbergasted feline who cannot believe that treat time is over and that he missed it due to indulging in too many zoomies.

Awwdorable Otter and Kitten Grow Up Together, and Now, They Cannot Sleep without One Another (Video)

We don't know if you have heard of it, but some people out there claim that cats are not friendly animals, and we think that they are ridiculous for it. They don't believe us when we tell them that cats love their humans. They say that the only reason cats show us any affection is because we feed them and take care of them, that if we didn't, our cats would be just as aloof to us as all these cat haters claim. We know better. We just can't seem to prove it to people. 

So, here we are, trying again, this time by showing them cats showing affection to other animals. Because if cats being friends with dogs was not enough, and cats being lifelong friends with birds, and kittens befriending pigs is not enough, then maybe a video of a cat and an otter being best friends since babyhood and cuddling every night to sleep will be enough to prove the cat haters wrong.

27 Warm & Fuzzy Fall Feline Funnies Overflowing With Autumnal Affection for Snuggling Sweetly in Soft Sweaters

Good meowrning, feline fanatics, and happy Tuesday. A lot of people rant and rave over summer, but us? We love fall and winter. Why? Because it's sweater weather. We love sweaters. We love wearing sweaters, putting sweaters on our cats, snuggling in sweaters, sleeping in sweaters, heck, we would even exercise in sweaters if we could. There is nothing comfier than putting on a fuzzy sweater and burrowing your way under the blanket for ultimate comfort. 

These warm and fuzzy feline funnies are basically cat memes wrapped in soft sweaters. They're full of autumnal affection, heartwarming vibes, and they're purrfect for enjoying when you need to feel extra cozy (and, purrhaps, silly). We thought to ourselves, "how can one improve the purrfection that is cat memes?" - and the answer was simple: add the feeling of throwing on a sweater to them. So that we did. Grab your favorite sweater (cardigans and sweatshirts are also okay) and get ready for a catastrophe of comfort in the form of cat memes. You will be comfy, there is no escaping it.

24 Wholesome Happy Cats Healing Even Your Worst Workday With Purr Joy for the Soul

There is some sort of smear campaign going on against cats, and we're here to dispel it. Cats are not emeowtionless creatures, they are full of love, joy, and funny facial expressions! Our cats have been more connected to us than most hoomans (although the bar is not set very high for hoomans, unfortunately), and if we're being purrfectly honest, our cats do a lot more things that make us smile than our fellow sapiens. Fur example, just watching them smile makes us smile, as simple as that.

It also makes us smile when they fall asleep in a silly pawsition, when they do a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig stretch after waking up for a nap, or when they run to greet us when we come home from work. Cats are so full of love and pawsitivity that they have the power to heal even our worst workday. No matter what may have happened at the office, as soon as we see their purrfect little faces, we furget everything bad that happened and we can only think of one thing: how much we love our awwdorable little fur babies.

summer steak with corn and tomatoes

This has been my go-to summer steak for the last several years and I have some audacity to have gatekept it for so long. Mostly, we’ve been too busy eating it for me to grab the camera and shoot it and then sit down and write the recipe, which is hilarious as that’s, like, my whole job. But my brain softens in the summer, especially when my kids are away at sleepaway camp, as they are now, and we quickly lose whatever tethers we had to things like to-do lists, responsibilities, and adulting. And while I do not expect a skirt steak with a cherry tomato and sweet corn salad to shake the cooking internet off its axis, there are a bunch of tips tucked into this recipe that make it a reliable favorite, and I hope become part of your repertoire too.

braised chickpeas with zucchini and pesto

Last summer, when my younger child joined my older child at sleepaway camp for a month for the first time, leaving us unmoored and a little restless, we made a list of restaurants we’d been meaning to try and friends we don’t see enough and took this task on like it was our job. I barely cooked once. By the end of the third week, everything hurt and we realized our template for a child-free life (going out late, cocktails on weeknights, and generally behaving despicably) was based on our age and energy level when we were last child-free, which (I’m sorry as this fact seems to upset you guys as much as it does his actual parents) was almost 15 years ago.

And it contains cabbage, and not just cabbage but Napa cabbage, which I think deserves more credit as a salad green. [This can be convenient to know as it often comes in heads large enough to feed a small family for a week.] Napa cabbage is a little leafy, a little crunchy, and yet kind of juicy too and I’ve used it, sliced thin, in everything from this Italian-style salad to a classic Caesar.
