New paper led by Tash Prescott - we applied equations for speed, etc that are commonly used on dinosaur tracks to tracks made by birds we could watch and time. TLDR: equations aren't even nearly close.

The touch/swipe gesture to open the start menu is also broken. Trying to swipe up to open the start menu locks you out of everything until you press escape.

As Apple shows off it's beautiful smooth new #UI, #Windows continues to do it's best at implanting new features with the jankiest most annoying animations they can. Yeah, just #WindowsInsider , but still. it shouldn't be that hard.

Modern image formats – which is best? Experimenting with .AVIF and .JXL. Despite having a terabyte of OneDrive storage, it's nearly full, so I looked into shrinking down my photos (and #photogrammetry datasets) with JXL and AVIF:.

Reality Capture being rebranded to Reality Scan 2.0 soon: If they happen to also lose the CUDA exclusivity on this release, it might be the last thing in my workflow tying my to nvidia #photogrammetry.

Lots more videos like this on my animals in motion youtube playlist:. Great for biologists and animators.

Nice video to show off the biggest downside to surface - the borderline unusably reflective screen. Had several surfaces and loved them, but they are just nightmares to use near a window or outside.
Okay, now THIS is what dreams are made of 😍 Check out the new 12-inch Surface Pro in Platinum . #NewSurfacePCs

The team and I had a bit of fun with a camera to make a video for the TRACKEVOL project. We may make more throughout the project, because regardless of the video quality, it was fun to make!.
