Eiichiro Oda has a very clever way of writing his world-renowned manga series, One Piece: Early on in a new story arc, he will introduce truly despicable villains who have performed acts so heinous that they make the audience immediately despise them. After enough tension is built, Monkey D. Luffy (or any other heroic characters) defeats these antagonists in the form of an incredibly satisfying fight.

Fujifilm has unveiled one of the wilder cameras I've seen in awhile, the 102MP medium-format GFX100RF compact camera. Yes, you read that right this is a carrying-around street camera with a massive sensor and fixed 35mm f4 lens (28mm full-frame equivalent) that can shoot 11,648 x 8,736 photos. If that wasn't enough, it has features we've rarely seen on compact cameras, like a built-in ND filter and dedicated aspect ratio dial.The GFX100RF uses the same 102MP CMOS II HS medium format sensor found on the GFX100 II mirrorless camera. As Fujifilm teased last week, it can be thought of as a higher-resolution version of its popular X100 VI APS-C compact. Though smaller than any other GFX camera, it's heavier than many full-frame mirrorless cameras at 1.62 pounds (735 grams). For a premium feel, the camera is "machined from a single block of aluminum and the lens ring, dials, bottom plate, and other details are all precision-machined from aluminum as well," Fujifilm wrote in a press release.FujifilmLike the X100 VI, it's designed as a street camera with the shutter speed, exposure compensation and aperture settings quickly visible and adjustable. However, the GFX100RF has a new dial on the back that lets you choose from nine aspect ratios including 7:6, 1:1, 3:4, 16:9, 17:6 and the 65:24 "XPan" widescreen ratio found on other GFX models.It also has a tele-converter selector/lever on the front of the camera to digitally change the focal length from the native 35mm to 45mm, 63mm and 80mm (35mm, 50mm and 65mm full-frame equivalent), with a corresponding loss of resolution. When using those modes, a new "Surround View" function can be selected that displays the area outside the image range as a semi-transparent frame.Fujifilm says the all-important fixed lens can suppress spherical aberration and field curvature thanks to a 10-element, eight-group configuration that includes two aspherical lenses. It uses a newly developed "nano-GI" coating optimized to suppress internal reflections, even at the edges. Despite the large sensor size, it can focus as close as 7.9 inches, allowing for some interesting high-res macro possibilities.Fujilfilm X100VI (top) and GFX100RFFujifilmThe shutter itself is a leaf instead of focal plane type to reduce size, and the GFX100RF is Fujifilm's first GFX model with a built-in four-stop ND filter. That's a handy feature on a medium format camera for bright light shooting, as it allows for slower shutter speeds to add motion blur or wider apertures for shallower depth of field.The GFX100RF has a similar autofocus system to the GFX100 II including an AF prediction function and face/eye AF that can recognize subjects like animals, vehicles, birds, and airplanes. Burst speeds are a fairly decent 6 fps with the mechanical shutter at full resolution, a bit slower than the GFX100S II. It has a 5.76-million-dot offset electronic viewfinder like the one on the X100VI and a 3.1-inch 2-axis tilting 2.1-million-dot rear display.FujifilmIt can even shoot 4K 30fps 4:2:2 10-bit video (likely with some pixel binning), and Fujifilm says it'll deliver up to 13+ stops of dynamic range when using the FLog-2 setting. Other features include an SDXC UHS-II card slot, 20 built-in film simulations, SSD recording, mic and headphone ports and a microHDMI connector. One feature noticeably lacking compared to the X100VI is in-body stabilization.The GFX100RF is likely to appeal highly to street and travel photographers considering its capabilities. It's not cheap at $4,900, but that price is less than its main competition, the $6,660 Leica Q3, while offering a larger sensor and 40 extra megapixels. It'll be available in black or silver when it arrives in late April 2025.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/cameras/fujifilms-gfx100rf-is-a-102mp-medium-format-compact-camera-110044609.html?src=rss

Get ready for The Last of Us season two, Hacks season four, and A24's Babygirl this month on Max.

Two Cisco vulnerabilities are being abused in the wild, so patch up.

Colleges and universities are warning international students to avoid leaving the U.S. for spring break amid the Trump administrations continuous deportation threats.Even though international students are in the U.S. legally on student visas, schools are expressing concern that if those students leave the country, they wont be allowed back in. The warnings come as Trump has proposed travel bans targeting 43 countries, some highly publicized deportations have already taken place, and new raids by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at colleges and universities have stoked fear in many.In an email Thursday, NYU administrators warned both students and faculty against any nonessential travel, especially to the countries Trump targets in his proposed travel bans. While we are not extending that same guidance to our entire international community, we would suggest that if you are uneasy or have some hesitancy about international travel right now, you consider remaining in the United States during the break out of an abundance of caution, the email said.Likewise, Brown University released similar guidance in a school-wide email. We understand that many in our community are feeling a great deal of uncertainty and anxiety as news media share reports of federal deportation actions against individuals who are non-U.S. citizens, Russell C. Carey, executive vice president for planning and policy and interim vice president for campus life at Brown, said in the email shared with USA Today. Carey added, Potential changes in travel restrictions and travel bans, visa procedures and processing, reentry requirements, and other travel-related delays may affect travelers ability to return to the U.S. as planned. Columbia University and Cornell University have posted similar warnings on their websites.Under Trumps orders, a recent series of highly publicized and potentially illegal deportations have been reported on lately. Mahmoud Khalil, a lawful U.S. resident and graduate of Columbia University, who helped organize protests last spring against Israels ongoing siege on Gaza, was detained by ICE agents and taken to an immigration jail in Louisiana. A judge ordered Khalil to be kept in the U.S. for now, but in a social media post, Trump warned that the arrest would be the first of many and called those who speak against Israels U.S.-funded bombing of Palestine antisemitic and anti-American. The post warned, We will find, apprehend, and deport these terrorist sympathizers from our countrynever to return again.Following Khalils arrest, a physician at Brown had her visa canceled when returning to the U.S. from her home in Lebanon, despite a judges order. A French scientist was also denied entry to the U.S. after immigration officials found texts on his phone that were critical of Trump. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said the texts could be qualified as terrorism.Its not the first time colleges and universities have urged international students to avoid travel at certain times. Last year, schools warned international students to get back on U.S. soil before Trump took office, fearing that if they did not, the administrations new travel restrictions might prevent their return. At the time, Northeastern University in Boston, which has the second-highest number of international students (after NYU), sent an alert from the Office of Global Services to the schools international community: To minimize potential disruption to your studies, work, or research, we strongly recommend returning to the U.S. no later than January 6, 2025, the start of Northeasterns Winter/Spring academic term. This will allow you to be present on campus before possible restrictions take effect.

If the thought of being hunted by something that can see your every move makes your skin crawl, you might want to steer clear of Eyes Never Wake.This viral horror game takes immersion to the next level, using your webcam to let a lurking monster track your movements in real time. To survive, players must physically move to avoid detectionducking under desks, leaning out of sight, and staying perfectly still as the creature stalks the room.The game doesnt stop at just watching. It listens, too. The game also listens. With your mic always on, the AI-driven entity reacts to sound, forcing players to stay silent to avoid being found. Every corner you turn is a chance for it to catch you. Listen closely, stay quiet, and be ready to hide your face at all costs, the game warns.Currently available to wishlist on Steam, Eyes Never Wake has already drawn massive interest online. Its initial post on X racked up more than 5.4 million views, with users calling it next level and peak content for VTubers.In my horror game, the monster SEES YOU THROUGH YOUR WEBCAM.

Covering your webcam wont helpthe game detects uniform objects and disables movement if the camera is blocked. No, you cant just cover the webcam, developer Allan Hedlund confirmed. If you do, your character wont be able to move. That said, streamers who prefer to stay off-camera can opt to hide their face in-game while still using the webcam mechanics.Its worth noting that, according to Hedlund, no footage or data is uploaded or stored. Totally get that, Hedlund responded on X to concerns. The game simply uses OpenCV and OpenCV for Unity for face recognition with pretrained models. Everything runs locallynothing gets sent to any server. And you can always turn the mechanic off at any time.While Eyes Never Wake doesnt have a confirmed release date yet, its set to launch soon on Steam.

In this tutorial, we explore an innovative and practical application of IBMs open-source ResNet-50 deep learning model, showcasing its capability to classify satellite imagery for disaster management rapidly. Leveraging pretrained convolutional neural networks (CNNs), this approach empowers users to swiftly analyze satellite images to identify and categorize disaster-affected areas, such as floods, wildfires, or earthquake damage. Using Google Colab, well walk through a step-by-step process to easily set up the environment, preprocess images, perform inference, and interpret results.First, we install essential libraries for PyTorch-based image processing and visualization tasks.!pip install torch torchvision matplotlib pillowWe import necessary libraries and load the pretrained IBM-supported ResNet-50 model from PyTorch, preparing it for inference tasks.import torchimport torchvision.models as modelsimport torchvision.transforms as transformsfrom PIL import Imageimport requestsfrom io import BytesIOimport matplotlib.pyplot as pltmodel = models.resnet50(pretrained=True)model.eval()Now, we define the standard preprocessing pipeline for images, resizing and cropping them, converting them into tensors, and normalizing them to match ResNet-50s input requirements.preprocess = transforms.Compose([ transforms.Resize(256), transforms.CenterCrop(224), transforms.ToTensor(), transforms.Normalize( mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406], std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225] )])Here, we retrieve a satellite image from a given URL, preprocess it, classify it using the pretrained ResNet-50 model, and visualize the image with its top prediction. It also prints the top five predictions with associated probabilities.def classify_satellite_image(url): response = requests.get(url) img = Image.open(BytesIO(response.content)).convert('RGB') input_tensor = preprocess(img) input_batch = input_tensor.unsqueeze(0) with torch.no_grad(): output = model(input_batch) labels_url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pytorch/hub/master/imagenet_classes.txt" labels = requests.get(labels_url).text.split("n") probabilities = torch.nn.functional.softmax(output[0], dim=0) top5_prob, top5_catid = torch.topk(probabilities, 5) plt.imshow(img) plt.axis('off') plt.title("Top Prediction: {}".format(labels[top5_catid[0]])) plt.show() print("Top 5 Predictions:") for i in range(top5_prob.size(0)): print(labels[top5_catid[i]], top5_prob[i].item())Finally, we download a wildfire-related satellite image, classify it using the pretrained ResNet-50 model, and visually display it along with its top five predictions.image_url = "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/05/Burnout_ops_on_Mangum_Fire_McCall_Smokejumpers.jpg"classify_satellite_image(image_url)In conclusion, weve successfully harnessed IBMs open-source ResNet-50 model in Google Colab to efficiently classify satellite imagery, supporting critical disaster assessment and response tasks. The approach outlined demonstrates the practicality and accessibility of advanced machine learning models and emphasizes how pretrained CNNs can be creatively applied to real-world challenges.
