Algorithms Circle

AI Thread Summary

Algorithms for drawing circles in computer graphics include Bresenham's circle algorithm, which is efficient for rasterizing circles on a pixel grid. This algorithm uses integer arithmetic to determine which pixels should be illuminated to form a circle, minimizing floating-point calculations and improving performance. Another common method is the midpoint circle algorithm, which also focuses on symmetry and incremental calculations to achieve smooth curves. Resources such as gamedev.net provide additional insights and examples for implementing these algorithms effectively.

I don't have a computer graphics textbook, but I need to figure out the algorithms for drawing circles. Bresenham, and I think another one. Anyone got some notes or tips about this stuff?

Thread 'The Human Cost of AI'

This week, I saw a documentary done by the French called Les sacrifiés de l'IA, which was presented by a Canadian show Enquête. If you understand French I recommend it. Very eye-opening. I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...

Thread 'Using AI in experimental physics'

Here's an upcoming presentation from the grad school I attended about applying AI to fundamental physics, namely, analyzing high-energy scattering data: (https://universitydevelopment.cmail20.com/t/d-e-gamhk-hliyjihltk-u/)

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
