Standing Out from the Crowd: The Figure-Ground Principle Understanding Figure-Ground: The figure-ground principle refers to our ability to distinguish an object (the figure) from its background (the ground). This principle is crucial for ensuring that important elements stand out and that users can easily navigate your interface. How to Use It: Clear Contrast: Ensure there is a strong contrast between text and background to improve readability and focus attention on key content. Highlighting Content: Use backgrounds or shading to separate different sections, making it easier for users to differentiate between content areas. Pro Tip: Avoid visual clutter by ensuring that figures (like text and images) are distinct from their background, helping users focus on what’s important.

Recently, I successfully developed an end-to-end movie recommendation system leveraging advanced techniques in content-based filtering. This system not only provides personalized movie suggestions based on user interests but also allows intuitive searches using keywords or actor names. Link to Github is https://lnkd.in/dBepae_3

What’s extremely exciting is that we’re now able to deploy using these AI tools — so its not just POC either, its friggin actionable in every sense of the word.

We do not realize how crazy this is. You can take any complex document and turn it into a bunch of interactive graphs in seconds. This is beyond magic. Nobody would have thought this was possible a couple of years ago. Check this out: https://bit.ly/3WwtFo6

The fastest way to relight and restyle and image. IC-Light releases a Flux based version 2 demo. By Illyasviel, the creator of Controlnet feature and Fooocus. Key features: ⚫ Flux based ⚫ Better at handling low light settings (like found footage) ⚫ Sharper than V1, 16 ch VAE (previous was 8 ch) There are still slight seams around the edges when relighting a bright source image to a darker target, but an additional upscale helps reduce this effect. It works nicely when composing / blending images together, e.g. using Finegrain editor for composing, then relighting it with IC-Light. Notes: -Code not released, just the demo -Author mentions releasing the code under research-only license. Link to HF and demo in the comments.

A useful tool for analysis: on the website below, an interactive map of wars that have taken place in history over the last 2,500 years: the Dutch have studied 12,703 wars, of which 8,000 are documented. Then they were transferred to the map https://lnkd.in/dQNe2kEP

7 question / interactive types coming to 9.x.x release next week. Strikes right at the heart of H5P as far as core functionality our users have leaned on it for in the past. "Why do you hate h5p?" I don't, I just don't like how it's constructed because it's not portable. It's better than flash, but still really inefficient and enormous file sizes (like flash). Contrast H5P with these HAX types: - Our interactives work in any web application with or without HAX - No CMS required; this stuff could run on a stand alone webpage if needed - Highly accessible and maintainable / retroactively updatable (in the event some aspect is not) - power efficient (dramatically smaller via web component standard and leveraging code libraries) https://lnkd.in/exDr5re6 just bonkers stuff coming next week! #edtech #education #pedagogy HAXTheWeb #edu #psu #pennstate #weare #web #webdev #ngdle

== THE DUN LIST == What did I get 'dun' today? 🤔 🤔 🤔 BETA: The feedback arrived from the Beata Reader for 🐀🐂🐓 Peanut èk sé Zannimo-A.

Puzzle: The classic “Two Trains” problem with interactive solution You may have heard of the classic puzzle: Two trains start from two towns, heading towards each other. One train leaves Town A heading towards Town B at some speed while at the same time, the other train leaves Town B heading towards Town A at another speed. If the distance between the two towns is x miles, how long will it take for the two trains to meet?
