Week 1: Book Announcement

 I am thrilled to announce that for my master thesis, I am venturing into the challenging and exciting field of book writing. I’ve begun working on a book that seeks to provide tentative answers to one of the most critical questions of our time:

How can we achieve public abundance within planetary boundaries in a just way?

This inquiry is grounded in two key assumptions, which I explore at the beginning of the book:

1. The capitalist system is fundamentally incapable of meeting humanity’s basic needs within planetary boundaries. It perpetuates the exploitation of racial groups, women, nature, and an increasing portion of the working class.

2. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of alternative ways to provide abundance in a regenerative manner—approaches that foster, rather than diminish, economic democracy.

If this topic resonates with you and you want to see this book come to life and be presented to change-makers, I would greatly appreciate your financial support. Your contributions will help cover the costs of editing, publishing, and travel (exclusively by public transport).

You can make a donation through the following link. I will share weekly progress updates on this platform and on my blog.

Computer Vision: Visual Representation with Sketches (Part 3) Pix2PixHD

 When the images one is working with are of high resolution, or the demands of the application allow for very little margin of error  (autonomous driving, medical analysis) it makes sense to consider high resolution image translation. This post aims to summarize the following paper: 1711.11585.pdf (arxiv.org) High-Resolution Image Synthesis and Semantic Manipulation with Conditional GANs  Conditional GANs have been proven to provide fairly good translations from sketches to images, but its applications have been limited to lower resolution images. The following paper develops and algorithm that works on high resolution image translation 2048 × 1024 with very realistic generation. Introduction Creating realistic representations of the world is quite expensive computationally if every dimension and detail have to be model explictely. It becomes very necessary to find low weight approaches that could represent reality very realistic from a simple abstraction as an input...
