    Instax Pal 2: fun but pricey pocket toy camera (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Fujifilm's ever-growing Instax range trends toward both high-end retro and pocketable fun (consider the runaway success of Kodak's Charmera), with both to be found in the Instax Pal 2. Shorn of its printer and only 1.4 x 1.6 x 3.6 inches (37 x 42 x 92mm), it's completely unlike to the bloblike original in style. There's a 1/3" image sensor with f/2.2 aperture lens, LED flash and autofocus. You can put an SD card slot in it for more storage, and plug it in to a computer (or phone) via USB-C port.

    RAM shortage to last two more years, say top manufacturers (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Executives from Samsung and Micron, two of the world's top manufacturers of random access memory, warned this week that the RAM shortage would continue through 2028.

    Book of Shapes: customizable SVG patterns for print and web (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Book of Shapes [via] is a collection of minimalist generative SVG patterns created by Nikolaj Sokolowski. Beautiful and elaborate, yet each defined by a few lines of code, they can be customized for use on the web or in print. I think my favorite is the one named Joy Division; it's fun to be able to customize its parameters. There are dozens to start with, organized into categories (grid, radial, noise, flow, isometric, organic, distortion and physics) and accompanied by explainers for the gener

    France discovers the dubious pleasures of AI detection (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    AI detection is a difficult job, made worse for everyone by it being such a delicious ingredient in academic snake oil. But one service has clearly outformed the others in tests: Pangram. It went beyond obvious characteristics of LLM output such as perplexity and ngram distance, training its own classifiers on large collections of human text and generative imitations. But that success has led media to use it in peremptory fashion to judge claims of AI-based shenanigans in literary matters, and t

    Read excerpt

The order, which applies to federal government, call he made last week during his speech to the United Nations General Assembly.
