From there, you can set whether you want to see AI content or not. New setting: hide AI-generated images in DuckDuckGo Our philosophy about AI features is “private, useful, and optional.” Our

I Took My Leica On a Trip to the Arctic. Here Are My Pro Tips for a Photography Adventure

Earlier this year, I traveled to Sweden to research, write and photograph a feature for CNET on why electric cars are great for winter driving. It was a huge undertaking, requiring me to travel around multiple parts of Sweden and venture north into the frozen Arctic Circle. As both a journalist and a professional photographer, it was my job to not just tell the story with my words, but to capture it on camera. That meant traveling with precisely the right equipment and knowing exactly how to use

More and More Christians Say AI Is Demonic

Like many conservatives, evangelicals have broadly begun to embrace artificial intelligence — but at the same time, a growing subset of the Christian world is claiming that the technology is quite literally demonic.

Edward Burtynsky's monumental chronicle of the human impact on the planet

Nothing else comes close in scale to the chemical disruption of the air—the flood of CO 2 now rapidly overheating the Earth and producing a series of changes so titanic they dwarf even the forces that these photos depict.

From Point Clouds to Photorealism: How PRoGS Advances the State of Neural Rendering

What if a real-time automated decision-making process needs a computer vision system to produce photorealistic visuals in a mere fraction of a second? In many cases, this requires too much computational power — if it’s even possible at all. When computer vision uses 3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS), it provides a photorealistic image, but the process takes far too long.

Anamorphosis refers to a category of images that are intentionally distorted, making them unrecognizable when viewed directly. Their true form only reveals itself when seen from a specific viewpoint, which can be through some catadioptric device like a mirror or a lens. While the construction of these mathematical devices can be traced back to as early as the 17th century, they are only interpretable when viewed from a specific vantage point and tend to lose meaning when seen normally.
