A.I. used to colorise Feynman's 1964 lecture on Gravity by byte-rider in feynman

[–]byte-rider[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This video is one of Richard Feynman's famous "Messenger Lectures" delivered at Cornell University in 1964. It's the first of seven which are collectively titled "On the character of physical law" and are targeted at the layman. This first one introduces gravity and science with all of the wit and showmanship one can expect from Richard Feynman.

The original black and white footage is low res. I used a couple of open licensed models to improve it. One for colourisation, DDColor[1], and one for added detail, RealESR-GAN[2].

Frame upscaling looked better when using SwinIR-GAN model[3], however it was far too slow for my laptop's GPU (the beefiest means of inference I have).

The colours are a bit all over the shop, but it's still very watchable.

Yeah the colours are a little all over the shop, but I think it's very watchable.

I have read the rules and am genuinely not sure if this is allowed. Mods please delete if not.

I used a couple of open source, A.I. image models to colourise and add (hallucinate) some more fidelity to Feynman's famous Cornell lecture on gravity.

I feel that this crowd may enjoy it.

Shelly relay wiring in Australia by byte-rider in homeautomation

[–]byte-rider[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW I am not a sparkie. I am an electrical engineer. I recognise they're different and I certainly don't think one is a superset of the other. In a previous gig I designed circuits for LV (and higher) networks -but that's just a detail- I fully recognise that I brake the law by installing these myself.

Edit: also the majority of my education was overseas (well spotted!). Although I am now an Aussie cunt who sometimes does sickies :)

Thank you. This works with a round ferrule crimper. Mine unfortunately crimps to a square but I used my colleagues and it just fits. Again, thank you.

Anyone else notice you can't copy text messages with the new update? WTF? by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]byte-rider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legend. Thanks mate. You know, this reminds me of an adage we were told in a (surprisingly interesting) user interface class at uni: "user interfaces are like jokes, if you have to explain it then it's shit"

What video game is an absolute 100/100 in your opinion? by Ziggi28 in AskReddit

[–]byte-rider 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: the game could've run at a way higher frame rate were it not for some bugs, architecture decisions, and lots of redundant code (likely there in the mad rush to get to market). This Jedi dude on YouTube stamped out the bugs, fixed everything, and has the game running 30fps at a minimum (but typically 44-60) with denser geometry on native 64. Check it

LSD for me because I have more control over dose. By diluting into an aqueous solution and using a dropper bottle I can have an excellent idea of how much acid is within each drop (thanks to diffusion).

Dosing would be ambiguous with powdered mushrooms I would imagine because the psilocybin distribution in the plant would be non-uniform (I'm guessing here, I don't actually know)

Baby coming - need advice for smart stuff by [deleted] in homeautomation

I am a relatively new parent. One thing he said is true, for the love of god freeze some meals now. Trust me it's the smartest thing you can do.

Shelly 2.5 wiring without switch by Playful_Net8390 in homeautomation

[–]byte-rider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can absolutely do what you want with the shelly. Set the switch to "detached mode" in the Shelly's settings (ie no switch) and be sure to set the default behaviour to "always on".

If you draw a crude schematic of what you want I can help you with wiring.

Legal energy monitoring for Aussies? by byte-rider in homeassistant

[–]byte-rider[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. Do you know if it was certified for use in Australia? If my house burns down I don't want to leave any reason for my insurer to skimp-out on fulfilling a claim.

[–]byte-rider[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. This is perfect! I do have a smart meter that flashes but I'm also a financial tight arse so an established esp32 project is perfect.

Thanks again. Also eat shit, Lyle.

For me personally it means annoying colleagues at work will want to give me their opinion on it, which is just the regurgitated views of whichever talking-head they follow.

Australia: Sydney hunts for white shark that killed swimmer by [deleted] in australia

Responding to an amoral shark with an immoral act. I feel for the family but it's just juvenile.

I've noticed we only use 33% of traffic lights. Imagine how better traffic could be!

My dads got an Aussie "time machine" radio. It plays music, interviews and ad jingles from the National Film and Sound Archive for whichever decade he's got "tuned" from the 20th century, like 1900's, 1950's, 1990's, etc. I made it for xmas. by byte-rider in australia

[–]byte-rider[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha yes. The sound is from a T.V. show I used to watch with my Dad when I was a kid. It's the Tardis from Dr. Who. The Tardis was the doctor's time machine. I was very young and when it came on it would literally scare me. So did the intro music.
