MRI-LINAC Radiation for Prostate Cancer with Dr. Michael J. Zelefsky

What if prostate cancer treatment weren't months of daily radiation—but five ultra-precise sessions guided in real time by MRI? Today, Dr. Michael J. Zelefsky (Professor of Radiation Oncology, NYU Grossman School of Medicine) explains how MRI-LINAC and adaptive planning are redefining accuracy, reducing side effects, and personalizing care. A pioneer behind IMRT and image-guided radiotherapy, Dr. Zelefsky breaks down SBRT vs. IMRT, protons vs. photons, HDR brachytherapy, when to add hormone therapy, and how genomics + AI are shaping what's next.In this conversation, Dr. Zelefsky charts the evolution from long-course radiation to short-course SBRT with outcomes comparable to 7–9 week regimens—thanks to precision imaging and planning. He clarifies where IMRT ends and SBRT begins, why protons haven't shown superiority over photons in prostate cancer, and where HDR brachytherapy (Ir-192) shines—especially as a boost in higher-risk disease. We dig into dose equivalence (why 5×8 Gy can match ~80–90 Gy long-course), risk-based treatment + ADT duration, and how Decipher/Artera scores can refine decisions. Most exciting: MRI-LINAC with continuous motion monitoring keeps the prostate in a virtual “bullseye,” enabling whole-gland treatment with focal boosts today—and potentially true focal therapy tomorrow as biologic imaging and AI mature.Time-Stamped Highlights00:00 – Welcome 02:00 – Why Dr. Zelefsky's work is so respected; career arc and impact04:00 – What changed: CT/MRI planning → 3D-CRT → IMRT → SBRT12:45 – IMRT vs. SBRT: definitions, session counts, who gets what19:10 – Energy sources overview: photons, protons, brachytherapy20:30 – Protons vs. photons: evidence, indications, cost, access24:00 – HDR brachytherapy (Ir-192) as a temporary “in-and-out” boost28:00 – Dose logic: why 5×8 Gy (~40 Gy) ≈ long-course 80–90 Gy29:30 – Risk groups (low/intermediate/high) and when ADT is crucial33:00 – ADT durations (6–36 months): what trials actually showed37:00 – Genomics (Decipher/Artera): resolving risk discrepancies39:00 – What MRI-LINAC adds: real-time adaptive planning43:00 – Continuous Motion Monitoring (CMM): beam stops if target moves47:00 – Treat whole gland + boost the DIL (FLAME study approach)49:00 – Toward focal therapy with better biologic imaging + AI54:00 – How to choose: values, side-effects, lifestyle, comorbidities01:01:00 – Final guidance: don't be overwhelmed—multiple good option

Elle puise dans les approches pluriartistiques dans le but de contribuer à la valorisation de la diversité linguistique et à une meilleure reconnaissance des minorités linguistiques en tant qu'héritières et productrices de savoirs. Se définissant comme « chercheure nomade », ses projets de recherche-création se construisent à travers la mobilité géographique et la pluralité disciplinaire.Façonné par la mobilité, le parcours personnel et professionnel d'Elatiana l'amène à concevoir les langues comme étant des espaces sociaux où se négocient des rapports de force. À travers cette approche sociale des langues, elle explore les dynamiques plurilingues, sentiments d'appartenance, mises en altérité, idéologies dominantes et imaginaires. Les projets qu'elle développe en Nouvelle-Calédonie – et ailleurs – ont ainsi pour objectif transversal de participer à une meilleure reconnaissance sociale des personnes minorées ou invisibilisées en raison de leurs langues. De ce fait, les notions de « circulation des savoirs » et de « justice épistémique » font partie intégrante de ses pratiques.

Dolby Vision 2 llega con inteligencia artificial, brillo mejorado, movimiento auténtico y dos niveles de televisores  Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  En Berlín, durante la feria IFA, se presentó Dolby Vision 2. Es la evolución del sistema HDR que ya conocíamos en muchos televisores y servicios de streaming. La promesa es sencilla: más claridad en escenas oscuras, mejor manejo del movimiento y colores más vivos, todo sin que el usuario tenga que ajustar nada.Dolby asegura que este salto se logra con un motor de imagen rediseñado y con “Content Intelligence”, un conjunto de algoritmos que ajustan la tele según lo que ves y la luz de tu sala. Habrá dos niveles: una versión básica, pensada para televisores comunes, y otra llamada Max, reservada para equipos de gama alta. La primera marca en adoptarlo será Hisense, y Canal+ ya confirmó que usará Dolby Vision 2 en su contenido. La gran pregunta es: ¿realmente va a cambiar nuestra experiencia frente a la pantalla?  Algunos temen el “efecto novela”, pero Dolby promete respeto artístico.  Empecemos con lo básico: HDR significa alto rango dinámico. Es lo que permite que un televisor muestre a la vez negros muy profundos y luces intensas, como los destellos de un fuego artificial en la noche. Dolby Vision 2 no reemplaza al anterior, lo complementa. Aprovecha el brillo más alto y los colores más amplios que ya ofrecen los televisores modernos.El corazón es “Content Intelligence”, un sistema que adapta la imagen en tiempo real. Ejemplos: Precision Black mejora las escenas oscuras en salas iluminadas; Light Sense adapta la pantalla a la luz ambiental; y Sports & Gaming Optimization ajusta blancos y movimiento para que los partidos y videojuegos se vean con más fluidez. Todo esto busca que la experiencia sea más cercana a lo que quiso el director o el creador del juego.  Aquí están las dudas. Muchas personas sienten que algunas películas en HDR se ven demasiado oscuras en casa, sobre todo en pleno día. Y otros rechazan la suavización de movimiento porque convierte el cine en algo parecido a una telenovela. Dolby Vision 2 quiere resolver esas dos quejas con Precision Black y con “Authentic Motion”.Precision Black aclara detalles sin traicionar la intención artística, para que no tengas que bajar la persiana a mediodía. Y Authentic Motion permite que los creadores decidan, escena por escena, si conviene suavizar el movimiento. Eso suena bien, pero genera preguntas: ¿va a ser exclusivo de televisores nuevos? ¿O se podrá actualizar en los modelos actuales? Por ahora, la respuesta no es definitiva.  Dolby Vision 2 llega en dos versiones. La normal, pensada para la mayoría de televisores, y la Max, que aprovecha al máximo las pantallas más avanzadas. La primera en estrenarlo será Hisense, gracias a chips MediaTek Pentonic 800. En cuanto al contenido, Canal+ ya anunció que se sube al tren. Y hay rumores fuertes de que el próximo Apple TV 4K va a salir listo para trabajar con este estándar.¿Qué significa para ti? Escenas más claras aunque tengas luz encendida, deportes más fluidos y videojuegos con mejor control de brillo. Y lo mejor: no tendrás que entrar a menús complicados ni ajustar nada cada vez que quieras ver algo.  Si ya tienes un televisor con Dolby Vision, tranquilo: va a seguir funcionando. No se apaga ni se queda viejo de golpe. Pero para disfrutar de todas las funciones nuevas, sí será necesario un televisor compatible con Dolby Vision 2. Aún no sabemos qué modelos estarán en la lista ni cuánto van a costar.Los expertos ya plantean preguntas: ¿qué marcas además de Hisense lo van a adoptar? ¿Cómo se va a diferenciar la versión Max de la estándar en la práctica? Mientras tanto, los ejemplos cotidianos son fáciles de imaginar: ver una película oscura en un domingo soleado, ver un partido de fútbol con cámaras rápidas o jugar un videojuego donde la interfaz brilla demasiado. Esos son los problemas que Dolby Vision 2 quiere resolver, con sensores y nuevos metadatos que viajan junto al contenido.  Dolby Vision 2 promete imágenes más claras, movimiento más natural y una experiencia más cercana a la intención original de los creadores. Si piensas comprar televisor en 2026, conviene esperar qué modelos lo van a traer. Y mientras tanto, sigamos la conversación en Flash Diario.  Dolby Vision 2 llega con IA, escenas más claras, menos tirones y dos niveles. Hisense primero, Canal+ en contenido.

Hooked on LinkedIn's Queens? Gotta extend your Wordle streak in the New York Times games app before you start your day? You're in good company on today's Vergecast episode. Allison Johnson is joined by Simon Anthony and Mark Goodliffe, world-class puzzle champs and hosts of the delightful Cracking the Cryptic, a YouTube channel where they solve a puzzle on camera every single day. They specialize in Sudoku — and not just the classic number games you might be familiar with. Simon and Mark tackle mind-bending, seemingly impossible puzzles, working through it all in realtime, sometimes over the course of several hours. What happens when you get stuck? How can you tell the difference between a puzzle made by a human and a computer-generated one? Why are we addicted to puzzle games all of a sudden? They help us crack the clues. Then Allison sits down with Marc Levoy, one of the pioneers of computational photography, to talk about his new camera app: Project Indigo. Levoy is known for his earlier work on the Pixel camera, and was a driving force in shaping phone photography into what it is now. We last caught up with him in 2020 when he left Google for Adobe, so we got up to speed on what the heck he's been doing for the last five years — and the important difference between HDR and an HDR-ish photo. Finally, Allison takes a hotline question from someone who is not particular about their phone camera's image quality, but does have a beef with camera bumps.

On this week's show we discuss the 2025 Value Electronics TV Shootout. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Nielsen: Ad-supported content dominates TV viewing  NFL sells NFL Media, including RedZone, to ESPN New Fox One streaming service to launch in August Other: How to Increase Storage on Google Chromecast With Google TV Howdy Subscription | Ad-Free Streaming | The Roku Channel Sony Crowned King of TVs for the Seventh Year Running at the 2025 Value Electronics TV Shootout For the seventh consecutive year, Sony has claimed the title of “King of TVs” at the 2025 Value Electronics TV Shootout, held at their Scarsdale, New York showroom. The winning model, the Sony Bravia 8 II OLED (K65XR80M2) $3000, emerged victorious in a fiercely competitive field of flagship OLED TVs from LG, Samsung, and Panasonic. This annual event, now in its 21st year, is a benchmark for videophiles, retailers, and manufacturers, offering a no-nonsense, side-by-side comparison of the best TVs on the market.  The Value Electronics TV Shootout Founded in 2004 by Robert and Wendy Zohn, the Value Electronics TV Shootout has become well known for its rigorous and objective evaluation process. Each TV in the shootout is professionally calibrated and tested under identical conditions—same lighting, same content, and against professional-grade Sony BVM-HX3110 mastering monitors, which are the gold standard for video professionals.  The TVs are judged on picture quality attributes like color accuracy, contrast, motion handling, and performance in both Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) and High Dynamic Range (HDR). This year's competition was exclusively dedicated to OLED TVs, with no separate category for LCDs, reflecting the industry's shift toward OLED's superior black levels and color reproduction. The 2025 lineup featured four flagship 65-inch OLED models: Sony Bravia 8 II QD-OLED (K65XR80M2) $3000 Samsung S95F QD-OLED (QN65S95F) $3300 Panasonic Z95B WOLED (TV65Z95BP) $2000 US Model is Z95A LG G5 WOLED (OLED65G5WUA) $2900 A panel of ISF-certified judges, including display and film production professionals, evaluated the TVs using a mix of Blu-ray movie clips and specialized test patterns, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of their capabilities. Sony's Bravia 8 II QD-OLED won top honors for its exceptional SDR performance and consistency. Judges noted Sony's superior video processing, which delivered cleaner images and better upscaling than competitors. Kevin Miller, ISFTV president and display consultant, stated, “Sony's video processing is cleaner and handles upscaling better than Samsung's, despite both using the same quantum dot OLED panel.” This processing edge proved decisive. Panasonic's Z95B OLED marked its U.S. market return at the 2025 Shootout, narrowly winning the HDR category over Samsung's S95F by 0.01 points. Absent from the U.S. for years, Panasonic leveraged the event to showcase its OLED lineup, previously limited to Europe and Asia. Alex Fried, Panasonic's director of business development, emphasized the brand's renowned picture quality, saying, “It was great to be back in the shootout, reflecting Panasonic's legacy of top-tier performance.” Samsung's S95F QD-OLED came in a close second overall, splitting HDR category wins with Panasonic and performing strongly across the board. Its quantum dot OLED panel, shared with Sony, delivered impressive brightness and color volume, but it fell slightly short in SDR due to Sony's superior processing. LG's G5 WOLED, however, was a surprising disappointment, finishing last in both SDR and HDR categories. Despite LG's pioneering role in OLED technology and its use of RGB OLED panels from LG Display, the G5 struggled with color accuracy and EOTF (electro-optical transfer function) issues. Judge Chris Boylan, co-founder of Big Picture Big Sound, noted, “The LG was a little disappointing with some processing issues that lowered its overall scores in some categories. Some of these might actually be fixable with future software updates.” This outcome raised questions about LG's current standing in the OLED race, especially given its historical dominance in the category. Final Thoughts Sony's seventh straight “King of TVs” win at the 2025 Value Electronics TV Shootout reaffirms its position as a leader in premium display technology, driven by superior video processing and consistent performance. However, the tight competition—especially Panasonic's HDR upset and Samsung's close second—shows that the gap between top-tier OLEDs is narrower than ever. For consumers, this means more choices and exceptional quality across the board. Whether you're a videophile chasing the ultimate picture or a casual viewer seeking a top-tier TV, the 2025 Shootout proves that OLED is the technology to beat, and Sony's Bravia 8 II is currently leading the pack. Note - Hisense and TCL were invited to the 2025 Value Electronics TV Shootout but chose not to participate.

Donc l'article décrit comment configurer maven gradle pour mettre l'agent au démarrage des tests Et aussi comment configurer cela dans IntelliJ idea. Moins simple malheureusement Web Des raisons “égoïstes” de rendre les UIs plus accessibles https://nolanlawson.com/2025/06/16/selfish-reasons-for-building-accessible-uis/ Raisons égoïstes : Des avantages personnels pour les développeurs de créer des interfaces utilisateurs (UI) accessibles, au-delà des arguments moraux. Débogage facilité : Une interface accessible, avec une structure sémantique claire, est plus facile à déboguer qu'un code désordonné (la « soupe de div »). Noms standardisés : L'accessibilité fournit un vocabulaire standard (par exemple, les directives WAI-ARIA) pour nommer les composants d'interface, ce qui aide à la clarté et à la structuration du code. Tests simplifiés : Il est plus simple d'écrire des tests automatisés pour des éléments d'interface accessibles, car ils peuvent être ciblés de manière plus fiable et sémantique. Après 20 ans de stagnation, la spécification du format d'image PNG évolue enfin ! https://www.programmax.net/articles/png-is-back/ Objectif : Maintenir la pertinence et la compétitivité du format. Recommandation : Soutenu par des institutions comme la Bibliothèque du Congrès américain. Nouveautés Clés :Prise en charge du HDR (High Dynamic Range) pour une plus grande gamme de couleurs. Reconnaissance officielle des PNG animés (APNG). Support des métadonnées Exif (copyright, géolocalisation, etc.). Support Actuel : Déjà intégré dans Chrome, Safari, Firefox, iOS, macOS et Photoshop. Futur :Prochaine édition : focus sur l'interopérabilité entre HDR et SDR. Édition suivante : améliorations de la compression. Avec le projet open source Xtool, on peut maintenant construire des applications iOS sur Linux ou Windows, sans avoir besoin d'avoir obligatoirement un Mac https://xtool.sh/tutorials/xtool/ Un tutoriel très bien fait explique comment faire : Création d'un nouveau projet via la commande xtool new. Génération d'un package Swift avec des fichiers clés comme Package.swift et xtool.yml. Build et exécution de l'app sur un appareil iOS avec xtool dev. Connexion de l'appareil en USB, gestion du jumelage et du Mode Développeur. xtool gère automatiquement les certificats, profils de provisionnement et la signature de l'app. Modification du code de l'interface utilisateur (ex: ContentView.swift). Reconstruction et réinstallation rapide de l'app mise à jour avec xtool dev. xtool est basé sur VSCode sur la partie IDE Data et Intelligence Artificielle Nouvelle edition du best seller mondial “Understanding LangChain4j” : https://www.linkedin.com/posts/agoncal_langchain4j-java-ai-activity-7342825482830200833-rtw8/ Mise a jour des APIs (de LC4j 0.35 a 1.1.0) Nouveaux Chapitres sur MCP / Easy RAG / JSon Response Nouveaux modeles (GitHub Model, DeepSeek, Foundry Local) Mise a jour des modeles existants (GPT-4.1, Claude 3.7…) Google donne A2A a la Foundation Linux https://developers.googleblog.com/en/google-cloud-donates-a2a-to-linux-foundation/ Annonce du projet Agent2Agent (A2A) : Lors du sommet Open Source Summit North America, la Linux Foundation a annoncé la création du projet Agent2Agent, en partenariat avec Google, AWS, Microsoft, Cisco, Salesforce, SAP et ServiceNow. Objectif du protocole A2A : Ce protocole vise à établir une norme ouverte pour permettre aux agents d'intelligence artificielle (IA) de communiquer, collaborer et coordonner des tâches complexes entre eux, indépendamment de leur fournisseur. Transfert de Google à la communauté open source : Google a transféré la spécification du protocole A2A, les SDK associés et les outils de développement à la Linux Foundation pour garantir une gouvernance neutre et communautaire. Soutien de l'industrie : Plus de 100 entreprises soutiennent déjà le protocole. AWS et Cisco sont les derniers à l'avoir validé. Chaque entreprise partenaire a souligné l'importance de l'interopérabilité et de la collaboration ouverte pour l'avenir de l'IA. Objectifs de la fondation A2A : Établir une norme universelle pour l'interopérabilité des agents IA. Favoriser un écosystème mondial de développeurs et d'innovateurs. Garantir une gouvernance neutre et ouverte. Accélérer l'innovation sécurisée et collaborative. parler de la spec et surement dire qu'on aura l'occasion d'y revenir Gemini CLI :https://blog.google/technology/developers/introducing-gemini-cli-open-source-ai-agent/ Agent IA dans le terminal : Gemini CLI permet d'utiliser l'IA Gemini directement depuis le terminal. Gratuit avec compte Google : Accès à Gemini 2.5 Pro avec des limites généreuses. Fonctionnalités puissantes : Génère du code, exécute des commandes, automatise des tâches. Open source : Personnalisable et extensible par la communauté. Complément de Code Assist : Fonctionne aussi avec les IDE comme VS Code. Au lieu de blocker les IAs sur vos sites vous pouvez peut-être les guider avec les fichiers LLMs.txt https://llmstxt.org/ Exemples du projet angular: llms.txt un simple index avec des liens : https://angular.dev/llms.txt lllms-full.txt une version bien plus détaillée : https://angular.dev/llms-full.txt Outillage Les commits dans Git sont immuables, mais saviez vous que vous pouviez rajouter / mettre à jour des “notes” sur les commits ? https://tylercipriani.com/blog/2022/11/19/git-notes-gits-coolest-most-unloved-feature/ Fonctionnalité méconnue : git notes est une fonctionnalité puissante mais peu utilisée de Git. Ajout de métadonnées : Permet d'attacher des informations à des commits existants sans en modifier le hash. Cas d'usage : Idéal pour ajouter des données issues de systèmes automatisés (builds, tickets, etc.). Revue de code distribuée : Des outils comme git-appraise ont été construits sur git notes pour permettre une revue de code entièrement distribuée, indépendante des forges (GitHub, GitLab). Peu populaire : Son interface complexe et le manque de support des plateformes de forge ont limité son adoption (GitHub n'affiche même pas/plus les notes). Indépendance des forges : git notes offre une voie vers une plus grande indépendance vis-à-vis des plateformes centralisées, en distribuant l'historique du projet avec le code lui-même.

Gardez un œil sur les technologies avec les tech radar https://www.sfeir.dev/cloud/tech-radar-gardez-un-oeil-sur-le-paysage-technologique/ Le Tech Radar est crucial pour la veille technologique continue et la prise de décision éclairée. Il catégorise les technologies en Adopt, Trial, Assess, Hold, selon leur maturité et pertinence. Il est recommandé de créer son propre Tech Radar pour l'adapter aux besoins spécifiques, en s'inspirant des Radars publics. Utilisez des outils de découverte (Alternativeto), de tendance (Google Trends), de gestion d'obsolescence (End-of-life.date) et d'apprentissage (roadmap.sh). Restez informé via les blogs, podcasts, newsletters (TLDR), et les réseaux sociaux/communautés (X, Slack). L'objectif est de rester compétitif et de faire des choix technologiques stratégiques. Attention à ne pas sous-estimer son coût de maintenance Méthodologies Le concept d'expert generaliste https://martinfowler.com/articles/expert-generalist.html L'industrie pousse vers une spécialisation étroite, mais les collègues les plus efficaces excellent dans plusieurs domaines à la fois Un développeur Python expérimenté peut rapidement devenir productif dans une équipe Java grâce aux concepts fondamentaux partagés L'expertise réelle comporte deux aspects : la profondeur dans un domaine et la capacité d'apprendre rapidement Les Expert Generalists développent une maîtrise durable au niveau des principes fondamentaux plutôt que des outils spécifiques La curiosité est essentielle : ils explorent les nouvelles technologies et s'assurent de comprendre les réponses au lieu de copier-coller du code La collaboration est vitale car ils savent qu'ils ne peuvent pas tout maîtriser et travaillent efficacement avec des spécialistes L'humilité les pousse à d'abord comprendre pourquoi les choses fonctionnent d'une certaine manière avant de les remettre en question Le focus client canalise leur curiosité vers ce qui aide réellement les utilisateurs à exceller dans leur travail L'industrie doit traiter “Expert Generalist” comme une compétence de première classe à nommer, évaluer et former ca me rappelle le technical staff Un article sur les métriques métier et leurs valeurs https://blog.ippon.fr/2025/07/02/monitoring-metier-comment-va-vraiment-ton-service-2/ un article de rappel sur la valeur du monitoring métier et ses valeurs Le monitoring technique traditionnel (CPU, serveurs, API) ne garantit pas que le service fonctionne correctement pour l'utilisateur final. Le monitoring métier complète le monitoring technique en se concentrant sur l'expérience réelle des utilisateurs plutôt que sur les composants isolés. Il surveille des parcours critiques concrets comme “un client peut-il finaliser sa commande ?” au lieu d'indicateurs abstraits. Les métriques métier sont directement actionnables : taux de succès, délais moyens et volumes d'erreurs permettent de prioriser les actions. C'est un outil de pilotage stratégique qui améliore la réactivité, la priorisation et le dialogue entre équipes techniques et métier. La mise en place suit 5 étapes : dashboard technique fiable, identification des parcours critiques, traduction en indicateurs, centralisation et suivi dans la durée. Une Definition of Done doit formaliser des critères objectifs avant d'instrumenter tout parcours métier. Les indicateurs mesurables incluent les points de passage réussis/échoués, les temps entre actions et le respect des règles métier. Les dashboards doivent être intégrés dans les rituels quotidiens avec un système d'alertes temps réel compréhensibles. Le dispositif doit évoluer continuellement avec les transformations produit en questionnant chaque incident pour améliorer la détection.

Philosophe du Code : Un nouveau rôle centré sur le “pourquoi” du code, la conceptualisation de systèmes et l'éthique de l'IA. Charge cognitive de validation : Nouvelle charge mentale créée par la nécessité de vérifier le travail des IA. Réflexion sur l'impact : L'article invite à choisir son impact : orchestrer, créer ou guider. Entraîner les IAs sur des livres protégés (copyright) est acceptable (fair use) mais les stocker ne l'est pas https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/anthropic-wins-key-ruling-ai-authors-copyright-lawsuit-2025-06-24/ Victoire pour Anthropic (jusqu'au prochain procès): L'entreprise a obtenu gain de cause dans un procès très suivi concernant l'entraînement de son IA, Claude, avec des œuvres protégées par le droit d'auteur. “Fair Use” en force : Le juge a estimé que l'utilisation des livres pour entraîner l'IA relevait du “fair use” (usage équitable) car il s'agit d'une transformation du contenu, pas d'une simple reproduction. Nuance importante : Cependant, le stockage de ces œuvres dans une “bibliothèque centrale” sans autorisation a été jugé illégal, ce qui souligne la complexité de la gestion des données pour les modèles d'IA. Luc Julia, son audition au sénat https://videos.senat.fr/video.5486945_685259f55eac4.ia–audition-de-luc-julia-concepteur-de-siri On aime ou pas on aide pas Luc Julia et sa vision de l'IA . C'est un eversion encore plus longue mais dans le même thème que sa keynote à Devoxx France 2025 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdxjGZBtp_k ) Nature et limites de l'IA : Luc Julia a insisté sur le fait que l'intelligence artificielle est une “évolution” plutôt qu'une “révolution”. Il a rappelé qu'elle repose sur des mathématiques et n'est pas “magique”. Il a également alerté sur le manque de fiabilité des informations fournies par les IA génératives comme ChatGPT, soulignant qu'« on ne peut pas leur faire confiance » car elles peuvent se tromper et que leur pertinence diminue avec le temps. Régulation de l'IA : Il a plaidé pour une régulation “intelligente et éclairée”, qui devrait se faire a posteriori afin de ne pas freiner l'innovation. Selon lui, cette régulation doit être basée sur les faits et non sur une analyse des risques a priori. Place de la France : Luc Julia a affirmé que la France possédait des chercheurs de très haut niveau et faisait partie des meilleurs mondiaux dans le domaine de l'IA. Il a cependant soulevé le problème du financement de la recherche et de l'innovation en France. IA et Société : L'audition a traité des impacts de l'IA sur la vie privée, le monde du travail et l'éducation. Luc Julia a souligné l'importance de développer l'esprit critique, notamment chez les jeunes, pour apprendre à vérifier les informations générées par les IA. Applications concrètes et futures : Le cas de la voiture autonome a été discuté, Luc Julia expliquant les différents niveaux d'autonomie et les défis restants. Il a également affirmé que l'intelligence artificielle générale (AGI), une IA qui dépasserait l'homme dans tous les domaines, est “impossible” avec les technologies actuelles.

IDEAS Calibrating a monitor's HDR settings can significantly improve image quality by adjusting brightness and color. Using HDR (High Dynamic Range) enhances the visual experience by improving contrast and color accuracy. Adjusting black levels and brightness helps in achieving optimal visibility for both bright and dark scenes. The calibration of HDR settings involves fine-tuning various parameters like gamma, whites, and blacks. Multi-monitor setups can enhance productivity by allowing more efficient workspace organization. Curved monitors may benefit development tasks by providing a larger visual area without needing multiple displays. Managing dual monitors requires spatial awareness to efficiently switch focus between screens. Windows' snapping features help in organizing windows on multi-monitor setups, enhancing workflow efficiency. The presenter finds the transition from dual monitors to a single large curved monitor advantageous for productivity. A larger screen real estate reduces the need for physical separation of workspaces, easing multitasking. QUOTES "I will be looking at calibrating my monitor's HDR settings." "Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions in regards to these videos..." "HDR is an incredible technology that allows us to see better contrast and colors on our screens." "That way we can achieve a much more dynamic range of colors while playing games and watching media on our TVs, computer monitors, phones, etc." "It will be a bit different between calibrating a normal monitor with SDR to a HDR-enabled display." "So if the blacks are too bright then you won't really see the black levels as well." "The idea is that your brightest whites should be at 100% and your darkest blacks should be around 0%." "With this being said, I've never had a lot of luck with using my Windows HDR settings before." "A lot of people say don't buy a curved monitor for production stuff." "And now I have like basically three monitors." RECOMMENDATIONS Calibrate your monitor's HDR settings to enhance color and contrast. Adjust brightness, gamma, whites, and blacks for optimal visibility in various lighting conditions. Utilize Windows snapping features for efficient window management on multi-monitor setups. Consider transitioning to a single curved monitor for improved productivity and workspace real estate. Familiarize yourself with the tabbing system to ensure input is directed to the correct window. Experiment with panel sizes in your multi-monitor setup to find a configuration that suits your workflow. Ensure proper calibration of both SDR and HDR displays to achieve the best visual experience. Adjust black levels so they are not too bright, maintaining clear visibility of darker scenes. Set whites to 100% for better representation of bright areas in images and videos. Explore different monitor configurations to determine what enhances your productivity the most. ONE SENTENCE SUMMARY The presenter shares insights on optimizing HDR monitor settings and maximizing productivity with multi-monitor setups for development tasks.Provide feedback on this episode.

In this episode of The Offset Podcast we're asking & discussing the question - Is HDR really taking off?At first blush, the answer is yes, but the really, the answer is decidedly more nuanced.  Specifics discussed in this episode include:HDR seems to be everywhere - streaming platforms, consumer electronics, professional gear with billions made in investmentWhile wildly available, access to HDR content is still often based on  ‘level' of plan. Disconnect for consumers between HDR capable hardware and plansThe role the iPhone has played in helping spread HDRAlthough available & accessible, HDR is still widely weighted to the ‘higher end'.  Mid and entry level productions aren't utilizing HDR. Why? And how can that change?The language of HDR has become conservative and very similar to SDR versions making differentiation harderA safe approach to HDR may be tied to derived downstream HDR and SDR performance.   Investment in expensive gear (reference monitoring) for what many see as niche is also a contributing factorHow to sell and consistency in selling HDR content is importantMany feel that HDR is something that is being dictated to them…but for technical not creative reasonsImportant to remember HDR technology and workflows are still relatively newStunning HDR content does exist and shows what can be done (Ian Vertovec examples)Given artists space and time to work on HDR can produce amazing resultsIf you like the show be sure to like and subscribe where ever you find The Offset Podcast

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 145 - Deliverables and Preserving Authorial Intent - with Steve Yedlin In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, cinematographer Steve Yedlin (Season 2, Episode 72) returns to talk with us about deliverables and preserving authorial intent in post-production. Throughout the episode, we tap into Steve's deep well of technical knowledge, and we make frequent reference to Steve's publicly available demonstration on what HDR really is and how it has affected the colour timing stage of post. We get into the weeds during our conversation, and we try to make sense of the growing number of variables, units of measurement, and home-video viewing options we're forced to contend with as filmmakers in the digital age. We also look at how our level of control over home-viewing deliverables has changed since the VHS days, and we attempt to peek into what the future may hold for us as technology and audience expectations continue to evolve. Towards the end of our conversation, we discuss the economic realities of restoring old films, and Steve offers his best advice to any young (or older!) filmmaker feeling overwhelmed by the endless technical jargon. Plus, we find some surprising and relevant wisdom within THIS IS SPINAL TAP. - We highly recommend watching Steve's demonstration on HDR for an even deeper investigation into the topics discussed in this episode.

Will got a chance to attend the Switch 2 launch event at Nintendo's brand new San Francisco store and then started feverishly digging into the fundamentals of the new hardware, so this week we had an impromptu discussion about his hands-on impressions so far. Turns out there's a lot going on in this thing, from the delightfully musical new controller haptics to the surprisingly low-tech magnetic Joy-Con attachment, upgraded Switch 1 performance, GameCube emulation, and a bunch of other interesting topics.

Hang onto your slipcases because Blake Howard & Isaac Feldberg will discuss the canonisation of Sean Baker with the special CRITERION COLLECTION releases of ANORA and PRINCE OF THE CITY.AnoraContemporary cinema's foremost chronicler of American dreamers and schemers hustling on the margins of capitalist promise, Sean Baker, reaches new heights of mastery with this audacious anti–Cinderella story—a whirlwind neorealist screwball comedy with an aching heart. In an electric, star-is-born performance, Mikey Madison soars as Anora, an enterprising, ferociously foulmouthed Brooklyn erotic dancer and sex worker whose Prince Not-So-Charming comes along in the form of a Russian oligarch's wild-child son (Mark Eydelshteyn). This is the beginning of a fractured fairy tale—also featuring standout performances from Karren Karagulian, Yura Borisov, and Vache Tovmasyan—that turns the cruel realities of class inside out. Winner of the Palme d'Or at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, Anora confirms Baker as one of our preeminent auteurs.DIRECTOR-APPROVED 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital master, supervised by director Sean Baker and producer Alex Coco, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrackOne 4K UHD disc of the film presented in HDR and two Blu-rays with the film and special featuresTwo audio commentaries: one featuring Baker, Coco, producer Samantha Quan, and cinematographer Drew Daniels, and the other featuring Baker and actors Yura Borisov, Mark Eydelshteyn, Karren Karagulian, Mikey Madison, and Vache TovmasyanNew making-of documentaryNew interviews with Baker and MadisonCannes Film Festival press conferenceQ&A with Madison and actor-stripper Lindsey NormingtonDeleted scenesAudition footageTrailersEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing and English descriptive audioPLUS: Essays by film critic Dennis Lim and author Kier-La JanisseNew cover by Bianca Parkes and GrandSon, with photography by Max AbadianPrince of BroadwayA raw, disarmingly moving slice of neorealism, this early-career triumph from DIY auteur Sean Baker plunges into the world of West African immigrant Lucky (Prince Adu) and his Armenian Lebanese boss Levon (Karren Karagulian), two unlikely friends who peddle knockoff designer goods in Manhattan's wholesale district. When a long-forgotten ex forces him to take care of a young son he didn't even know he had, Lucky must figure out how to become a father without losing his edge in the counterfeit-merch game. Capturing the chaos of urban life through expressive handheld camera work, remarkably naturalistic performances, and flashes of manic humor, Prince of Broadway is one of Baker's most vivid explorations of the illusory nature of the American dream.DIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration, supervised and approved by director Sean Baker and restoration supervisor Alex Coco, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrackTwo audio commentaries: one featuring Baker and the other featuring producer and cowriter Darren Dean, associate producer and actor Victoria Tate, and actor Karren KaragulianNew introduction by BakerArchival interviews with Baker and actor Prince AduTwo documentaries on the making of the filmRestoration demonstration featuring Baker and CocoTrailersEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingPLUS: An essay by film critic Robert DanielsNew cover by Drusilla Adeline/Sister Hyde, with additional photography by Ivory WoodsIsaac FeldbergIsaac Feldberg is an entertainment journalist currently based in Chicago, who's been writing professionally for nine years and hopes to stay at it for a few more.

The Best Movie Plot Twists I came across an article that was discussing how a good movie will lead you down one path and then in a “Plot Twist” send you down a different and completely unexpected new path. That got me thinking about what were my most memorable plot twists from movies that I have watched over the years. I have come up with four that have stayed with me. What are your favorites? The Sixth Sense (1999) - The twist redefines the entire story, forcing viewers to rethink every scene. It's iconic for its emotional weight and subtle foreshadowing, often cited as the gold standard of plot twists. In this case you learn that Bruce Willis' character Malcolm Crowe was actually deceased. I hate to admit it but I never saw this coming. The Empire Strikes Back (1980) - The revelation Darth Vader is Luke's Father altered the saga's emotional core and is still one of the most quoted twists ever. Planet of the Apes (1968) - we are talking about the original here with Charlton Heston. The last scene leads up to the final payoff making it one of the most memorable twists in cinema. Se7en (1995) - The climax delivers a horrific surprise that ties the story's themes together. It's a twist that's both brutal and unforgettable, often debated for its boldness. The twist, John Doe played by Kevin Spacey manipulates Mills played by Brad Pitt emotionally to commit the seventh deadly sin. Braden's Pics: Usual Suspects Fight Club Shutter Island Memento
