I got ahold of what I think is the latest Microsoft Recall (Copilot+ Recall? Nobody knows the branding) build and.. well.. Total Recall still works with the smallest of tweaks to export the database, it's still accessible as a plaintext database with marketing as the security layer.

Another observation, the Recall backlog must be very large as it's just becoming a truck load of features being dumped on.

The #RadianceCascades algorithm is brilliant: observes that ambient occlusion and environment cubemaps are the same thing, but with different spatial vs angular resolutions, and it's possible to smoothly vary the resolutions, and interpolate between them.

Okay, Fujifilm photographers! I've been recently working up courage to switch my life-long habit of shooting in AF-S focus mode to AF-C. Because I just can't see any downsides to it. The only obvious difference is AF-C will refocus if I move the camera while the shutter button is half-pressed, which I almost never do and even if I need to, there's always object tracking. In other words, to me AF-C is just better AF-S.

Am I missing any downside that's not preferential?

I'm trying to implement #RadianceCascades for flatland global illumination.

2^i rays per cascade looks awful when starting with 4 rays (I need to fix interpolation too).
All the demos seem to use 2^(2*i) rays, but that blows up memory usage.

Here are Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet heading to the movies in LA in respirators. What do you think they know that you don't? Or are celebrity lives worth protecting and yours not? California is in a #COVID19 surge--Los Angeles has seen a sixfold increase in COVID in wastewater in the last three months--but your corner of the world may not be far behind.
