Image Fulgurator (2011)

The flash projects the image on the slide through the lens and onto the object. This action is triggered by a built-in sensor that recognises flashes from nearby cameras. That way, the projection can automatically be synchronised with the moment of exposure of any nearby camera using a flash. The Image Fulgurator is housed in a regular single reflex camera case since most of the camera’s elements were re-used for the construction of the Image Fulgurator.

Who Invented Backpropagation?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-06 06:50:21

Efficient backpropagation (BP) is central to the ongoing Neural Network (NN) ReNNaissance and "Deep Learning." Who invented it? BP's modern version (also called the reverse mode of automatic differentiation) was first published in 1970 by Finnish master student Seppo Linnainmaa [BP1] [R7]. In 2020, we celebrated BP's half-century anniversary! A precursor of BP was published by Henry J. Kelley in 1960 [BPA]—in 2020, we celebrated its 60-year anniversary.

We Finally Know When Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’ Will Hit Theaters and Netflix

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-02-06 08:00:31

It takes a very special Netflix movie to get a theatrical release before hitting the streamer, and Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein is certainly that. Netflix just announced it’ll release the monster movie in select theaters on October 17 before debuting on the platform November 7. Now, there’s no word yet on just how “select” the “select theaters” will be. Is it two screens? Is it 2,000?

Meta Wants to Make Its First AR Glasses With a Display as Cheap as a Flagship Phone

If there’s one thing that we’ve learned in the world of mixed reality over the past year, it’s that price is pretty much everything. Just ask Apple, which is still struggling to find an audience for its $3,500 Vision Pro headset. I mean, it’s not that there’s not a lot to love about the Vision Pro (the best UI in mixed reality and a premium display are particular highlights), but I bought my first used car for a price that wasn’t too far off, and that at least got me to work semi-on time.

‘Good Boy’ Promises Genuine Frights Along With Its Furry Star

Dogs have long had a presence in horror movies, but it doesn’t always turn out so well for them. Think Lester in Halloween, murdered early in Michael Myers’ spree, or the title character in Cujo, bitten by a rabid bat and transformed into a monster. But the tables turn in Good Boy, a new film starring director and co-writer Ben Leonberg’s actual pet, Indy.

People Are Now Seeing ‘Zombie’ Squirrels in Their Backyards

As if black-horned rabbits weren’t strange enough, people are now spotting zombie-like squirrels covered in odd, sometimes bleeding sores in their backyards and parks. These sickly squirrels aren’t zombies, however, but victims of a real viral disease. Residents in both Canada and the U.S. have recently reported sightings of the zombie squirrels, dating back to at least 2023. These animals are likely carrying a germ known as the squirrel fibroma virus (SFV). Though the condition is scary-lookin

Cable news channel MSNBC is going to rebrand as My Source News Opinion World, or MS NOW, according to a new report from the New York Times. The change is happening because Comcast’s NBCUniversal is spinning off many of its cable TV assets into a new company called Versant, severing ties with the “NBC” part of MSNBC. But it’s not yet clear where you’ll be able to find MS NOW on the web. That’s because the web domain msnow.com is registered in Gyeonggi, South Korea by someone who is clearly not t
