    This is essentially a dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16424813 (which links to the corresponding github page, which then has a link to this paper)

      Thanks. We merged most comments thither.

        Do you ever find yourself using that word in real life too? You're the first person I've seen to use it non-ironically. I will use it from now on, I quite like it.

          I do my bit.

    For those clicking on the Github link and getting an error, remove the . at the end.

      I notice on almost all of these image transformation projects the example images provided are usually very low res. It's basically impossible to judge how well this really works with the thumbnail sized images on the github page.

        Why are small images not good enough to demonstrate how well this really works? What kind of issues would you expect to see for larger images?
        • virgilp 2248 days ago
          Visual artifacts are often visible only at higher resolutions. Take the first photo, as an example: wouldn't you be curious to see how the road looks at a higher resolution? From the thumbnail - it might as well be horrible/ unusable. Same thing about the clouds.

        Seems to be a linked thumbnail. If you follow the link, github says: This file is too big to show. Sorry!

      The above link is also good for seeing examples of the effect in action.

        It's strange that they used a Creative Commons license for software.

        https://creativecommons.org/faq/

        "The only categories of works for which CC does not recommend its licenses are computer software and hardware."

        (although they seem to have taken on the FAQ section talking about this in more detail)

          Wow, I had no idea about this. I've used it on software before since it looks well-suited to software, and I suspect others are in the same boat. Thanks for mentioning this!
