The imaging pipeline for the new 8 band satellite Planet just announced was my primary focus for about the last two years. These images look like instantaneous captures but they're actually tightly registered composites from dozens of frames.
Very special day for #satdat at @planetlabs and our Payload Group - Super #doves with select 6 #Sentinel2 bands + #worldview yellow + a new blue green band + #Interoperability + higher sensitivity and dynamic range coming in 2020

Finally saw the documentary everyone has been talking about. I thought it was okay but highly unethical. Watching a guy eat that much McDonald’s every day just didn’t sit right with me.

Been seeing some SF coffee tier lists floating around, and coffee is like 50% of my personality so heres mine. SF has maybe the best coffee scene in America, mostly because of the density of talented baristas (SF consistently places top 5 in the US barista championships!)

Any set of position vectors defines a zonotope via their minkowski sum. If the vectors span R3 you get a zonohedron.

I heard "Erica Western Teleport" was blowing up on Tiktok (agian?) so I searched it. It's true, and it's bigger than the last wave. It's freaking me out. The youth are dancing to a depressed 31-year-old me living in a rehearsal studio with no windows, pillow in a kick drum.

Reminds me of Inigo Quilez drawing/animating with math. To your question: a 1MP image does not have 1M free params; natural images live on a roughly ~50 dim manifold. That means it's possible to find highly compressed representations -- whether math or code. Just a matter of discovering those representations, and then using them to draw.
