The court-ordered fix for Google’s search monopoly is a big disappointment. No structural changes to Google. No ban on Google paying billions to Apple, others for default placement. Users’ sensitive search queries for sale to competitors with uncertain privacy protections.

PIRATES
(Polarimetric Image Reconstruction AI for Tracing Evolved Structures)
uses machine learning to perform image reconstruction.

It uses MCFOST to generate models, then uses those models to build, train, iteratively fit, and evaluate PIRATES performance.

Optical interferometric image reconstruction is a challenging, ill-posed optimization problem which usually relies on heavy regularization for convergence. Conventional algorithms regularize in the pixel domain, without cognizance of spatial relationships or physical realism, with limited utility when this information is needed to reconstruct images. Here we present PIRATES (Polarimetric Image Reconstruction AI for Tracing Evolved Structures), the first image reconstruction algorithm for optical polarimetric interferometry. PIRATES has a dual structure optimized for parsimonious reconstruction of high fidelity polarized images and accurate reproduction of interferometric observables. The first stage, a convolutional neural network (CNN), learns a physically meaningful prior of self-consistent polarized scattering relationships from radiative transfer images. The second stage, an iterative fitting mechanism, uses the CNN as a prior for subsequent refinement of the images with respect to their polarized interferometric observables. Unlike the pixel-wise adjustments of traditional image reconstruction codes, PIRATES reconstructs images in a latent feature space, imparting a structurally derived implicit regularization.

There’s “a popular misconception that age-verification mandates are going to be the best way to rein in big tech and hold them accountable,” EFF’s https://nitter.oksocial.net/molly_buckley told https://nitter.oksocial.net/RollingStone

but these laws will just further line the biggest platforms’ pockets. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/age-verification-legislation-united-states-online-safety-1235419895/
