Simulating Hand-Drawn Motion with SVG Filters

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-08 08:12:26

Published on July 09, 2025 Ever wondered how cartoons create that hand-drawn “jitter” effect? I recently watched an ARTE documentary about Neapolitan pizza and was fascinated by the animated illustrations (drawn in simple shapes and plain colors) that accompanied the segment where the recipe and its ingredients were presented. The illustrations were static, but they had a subtle animation effect that made them look like they were moving slightly. See for example in this short clip, where you c

This Search Engine Lets You Hide AI-Generated Images in Search Results

DuckDuckGo, the company behind the privacy-focused search engine, now has a new tool built into its search engine that lets you filter out AI-generated images from your search results. That way, you may see fewer misleading or fake photos when looking for images. However, the filter is not on by default, so you have to enable it. Here's how to use the AI-generated image filter in DuckDuckGo. 1. Go to duckduckgo.com. 2. Search for an image, something like "baby peacock." 3. Go to the Images t

USB-C hubs and my slow descent into madness (2021)

Two young men stand inside a shopping mall in front of a large illuminated Apple logo seen through a window in Chongqing, China, on June 4, 2025. Apple on Monday appealed what it called an "unprecedented" 500 million euro ($586 million) fine issued by the European Union for violating the bloc's Digital Markets Act.

Efficient set-membership filters and dictionaries based on SAT

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-11 11:10:57

INTRODUCTION This is a library for building and querying a compressed form of set-membership filters, named k-XORSAT filters. These filters can be used similar to how one would use a Bloom filter but with one restriction --- items cannot be added after the filter is built. So, this is an 'offline' or 'static' filter, whereas Bloom filters are considered 'online' or 'dynamic'. The advantage is that k-XORSAT filters achieve very near the optimal memory usage. That is, they use much less memory th

Bloom Filters by Example

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-22 02:56:09

Bloom Filters by Example A Bloom filter is a data structure designed to tell you, rapidly and memory-efficiently, whether an element is present in a set. The price paid for this efficiency is that a Bloom filter is a probabilistic data structure: it tells us that the element either definitely is not in the set or may be in the set. The base data structure of a Bloom filter is a Bit Vector. Here's a small one we'll use to demonstrate: Each empty cell in that table represents a bit, and the nu

After rolling out a standalone DMs system, Threads is now getting its own mute lists, along with something new (and very welcome): temporary filters that expire automatically. No Instagram strings attached In a post this week, Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced a revamped “Hidden Words” feature for Threads that includes its own independent word filters.

Google’s phone app can now filter out spam and unknown calls from your call log

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s Phone app is adding new filters to help users organize their call logs and reduce clutter. The new filters let users sort call history by missed calls, calls from contacts, and spam-marked numbers. Google has been expanding its Call Assist features with tools like Hold for Me, Direct My Call, and reverse phone lookup. Google is making a small but useful change to its phone dialer app, aiming to make call history management less of a headache.
