News : OpenAI’s Whisper Learned 680,000 Hours Of Speech! from Two Minute Papers.

I'm already used to the great videos of the youtube channel TwoMinutePapers.

In this video I'm not showing you anything about graphics, from my point of view I'm rather showing you what there is in the level of artificial intelligence - good design in the field of algorithms.

Whisper is an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system trained on 680,000 hours of multilingual and multitask supervised data collected from the web. We show that the use of such a large and diverse dataset leads to improved robustness to accents, background noise and technical language. Moreover, it enables transcription in multiple languages, as well as translation from those languages into English. We are open-sourcing models and inference code to serve as a foundation for building useful applications and for further research on robust speech processing., see Open AI blog page.

At the end of this trailer we saw that the game will be free at the beginning of December.

Shadertoy: matrix rotation for uv.

Today I wrote a simple example in shadertoy about how to apply a rotation using rotation matrices with sin and cos for a uv, see wikipedia.

For uv I used already defined uv. I created a stripe using the modulo function to make rotation visible and completed the rotation with the iTime variable defined in shadertoy to rotate it continuously.

Here is the created source code:

void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord )
{
    //set the uv to a proper size on the center of screen 
    vec2 uv = (fragCoord - 0.5 * iResolution.xy) / min(iResolution.x, iResolution.y);
    // set rotation angle value
    float rot = radians(0.0);
    // this set rotation by time and 
    rot = iTime;a
    // algebra formula for rotation by matrix , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix
    mat2 m = mat2(cos(rot), -sin(rot), sin(rot), cos(rot));
    // rotation of uv with matrix algebra formula where is set the rotation angle 
    uv = m* uv;
    // define float by function module from 1.0 and uv.x - uv.y
    float d = mod(uv.x - uv.y, 1.0);
    // color for fragColor is value of fload d by module function
    vec4 col = vec4(vec3(d), 1.0);
    fragColor = vec4(col);
}

Here is an example share from my shadertoy account.

News : Krita 5.1.3 Released.

A recent news informs us that the open source program Krita has reached a new release with version 5.1.3 .

From my experience I can say that it is the best program that includes enough features for those who want to use 2D graphics. From simple tasks, simple modifications, painting or animation, this program does it all.

You can se how you can set your brushes from the youtube official channel.

You can add your name and contribute to this open-source app that works on multiple operating systems with a contribution on their official page.

You can find more information about what fixes and changes have appeared on the official website.
