I'm very fond of this top that my girlfriend bought me - it's warm, comfy, fits well and it suits my dress sense.
Wearing it into work the other day, a colleague of mine pointed out that it has an additional supposed bonus to it: "Now it'll be much more difficult for German submarines to work out your range and heading!"
(I still like it!)

That pattern looks like exactly the kind of pattern that would create weird colour artefacts due to the rapid changes in contrast causing an AM signal that would interfere with the FM colour signal on the same carrier frequency.
Nowadays, it would just turn into a grey sludge due to the excessive compression of a digital stream.
Not a joke, of course, but suitably geeky for this thread...

There are plenty of online tools for upscaling images using AI to maintain quality, eg https://imgupscaler.com/ or https://vanceai.com/image-enlarger/

Worth knowing. That's a use of "AI" [sic] that actually looks useful.

Yeah, I've kinda given up calling it anything else, even though it's not remotely real 'AI', just fancy-pants machine learning.
I suppose that words evolve, and not always for the better. For example, "hacker" now means a black hat cracker. And don't even get me started on the word "woke".

That's really useful, I will set to work on it immediately.I reject nearly all use of the term AI, cos I'm an Asimov fan and he had a good plan behind the 3 Rules.
When it can think for itself without someone feeding in 5trillion inputs or code we have it cracked/we're all doomed.
