Event Cameras
Rather then recording an image, event cameras use a logarithmic sensor to detect changes in brightness at each point.

🚨 Breaking News 🚨: The internet's finest minds have gathered to conclude that time perception is... logarithmic? 🧐 Meanwhile, this groundbreaking discovery is protected by an impenetrable fortress called #ModSecurity, which grants you the privilege of knowing you're not allowed to know. 🙃💡

Aaaaaand people finally learn the difference between #exponential and #logarithmic curves.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Glad we have that sorted out - I was a bit worried that people wouldn't understand #statistics and the law of large numbers.
Ok, took us just...*check notes* almost 3 years to arrive at that fact.
Can we move on now!?
Richter scale
Magnitudes are based on a #logarithmic scale, which means every whole number increase on the scale is actually a tenfold increase in magnitude.

#3StrandBraids
#Braids are the last of the #decorative elements on the #IonicScroll, but like #EggsAndDarts, they are not specific to the #IonicOrder.
Braids are a popular design motif that find wide currency in modern #hairstyle, #fashion, and fashion accessories like #belts and #bracelets.
Braids come in infinite varieties with varying number of strands, thickness of strands, roundness or flatness of strands, and how tightly or loosely they are wound together. Here, I focus on the 3-strand variant mentioned in #Vignola's book and previewed in https://pixelfed.social/p/Splines/792015485979791089. The image here is brightly colored to draw attention to the 3 strands.
The geometry of braid strands is not at all obvious despite how familiar they look. Also, a braid strand is the only feature in the entire iconic order whose geometry cannot be captured with straight lines and circular arcs. Instead, a strand geometry must be defined in a series of steps starting with a basic #sinusoidal curve.
A sinusoidal curve or #sinusoid is a wave form whose function belongs to a family of functions known as #transcendentalFunctions that also include #logarithmic and #exponential functions. I mentioned #logarithmicSpirals in https://pixelfed.social/p/Splines/792499765146596723, and in a future post I will show how to construct one and compare it with the #spiral used in our implementation of #IonicVolute.
They are called transcendental functions because they transcend the math of finite algebraic polynomials and go beyond geometry into trigonometry. Fortunately, we don't have to go there.
Few #CAD tools have a direct primitive for a sinusoid, but almost all have a primitive for a 3-dimensional round coil shape called a #helix which we can use to create the sinusoids we need for a braid strand. To create a sinusoid, all we need to do is #project a helix on a flat surface to convert it into a 2D waveform.

9/10) Our model selection #algorithm is as follows:
Use α to filter out bad models and perform readout eval on a downstream task only on “good” models.
Our proposal decreases the #readout evals from #linear to #logarithmic growth in #configs in a fixed #compute budget setting. 🎉🥳
@DrWendyRocks #logarithmic scale for $500, please
brightest stars were marked 1st magnitude (m = 1), while faintest visible to naked eye were 6th (m = 6). Each numerical magnitude was considered 2* brightness of following one, which is #logarithmic scale. ( #ratio was subjective as no #photodetectors existed.)
That's basically all you need to know about Bitcoin price.
