The image you can't submit to journals anymore

The rumours are indeed true, I have a twitter and Patreon, check the description for the links. I also passed 100k recently, and I'll be having a Q&A video to celebrate. Ask me questions!

“looking at playboy alone?” “NO! I’m with the science team!”

Imagine being a playboy model and your most famous contribution is to academia by being a test image. Weird reason to be famous.

The part where you bleeped out “dolphin” and “sitting on a park bench wearing a raincoat” is just so funny to me…

"don't erase the history of computing!!!" "ok" lays out a lot of the history of women in computing absolute chad

Ooh, girl, you know you got a nice mixture of detail, shading, and flat regions. Has anyone ever told you you'd be great for testing image processing algorithms?

Sooooo... you're telling me that in my engineering thesis, which was about detecting unauthorised sharing and modification of photos (IN PARTICULAR noods) with image processing, I unknowingly used a stolen, cropped noode photo for algorithm comparison? The irony COULD NOT be stronger.

Absolutely obsessed with how Bobby goes "oh you guys care so deeply about remembering programming history? Ok then," iconic

My nana was one of the WReNs, the British ladies who worked on the top-secret computers that decoded the Enigma and Lorenz ciphers. Any time she and her colleagues are acknowledged it makes me immensely proud to be her grandson. Thanks! (p.s., she passed away in 2009 at the age of 84. When we visited Bletchley Park as a family just a couple of years beforehand, she wrote a message in the visitors' book that said "it's good to be back", and included her military service number, which she could still remember by heart. My hero!)

I just realized that the colors on the graph are the same colors found in the lena image. truly genius.

The story reminds me of back when I was in high school. the faculty had a problem with the projector. It would be the wrong color I decided to make a couple of test images with me holding a variety of objects and color swashes. Then printed them out from a laser printer I went to the principal and told them here are the images on this USB, the teacher can put it inside their laptop or computer and adjust the color settings on the projector to the right settings. Thread high school they always used it. Eventually after I left and graduated they hired an IT company and ask them to make a program that will automatically adjust the color on the computer and guess what pictures they used in the test program, me! ...... I didn't realize they were still using it till my brother told me. I recently went to presentation in the school and to my horror a picture of me comes on the projector the screen flashes and it gets to the right adjustment.... Lesson learned don't use yourself as an image test subject.....

All I needed to hear was that Lena would like the image retired. To be quite frank that information alone should be the end of it.

I don’t know if you’ll see this but this video was presented in my class at my university to explain the topics covered. Congrats and since then I’ve loved every single one of your videos!

The use of the word "Bug" predates finding the moth in the relay. That's why they kept it. It was funny that a bug caused a bug. It actually probably pre-dates electronic computers.

I once wrote in a homework paper for uni: 7. Troubleshooting Problems in Dataset Processing 7.1 Ignoring the Problem I got full marks on that section

I wonder how that must have felt to see this women from a photo used for digital algorithms show up to be at events and awards and so on , but hearing her being credited as a patron saint for women in a field that already had an issue with giving credit to the work of women. While it's nice to see she got treated to come to the awards show it rubs me the wrong way that she was almost put in that seat in place of crediting any of the thousands of women who put in countless work hours to get the image algorithms to work. IDK if that's a weird way to look at the picture or not ahh

And fortunately, nobody ever used images in signal processing research without permission ever again. OpenAI has entered the chat

Fun Fact: The green pepper in the foreground of “Peppers” is actually used in GIMP as a paintbrush, to showcase the use of colored brushes.

The warning against using the Lena image sounds like something straight out of an SCP! I was half-expecting you to to talk about its dangerous memetic properties lol

24:09 That's neat, my Grandmother also was a super early programmer. She first learned COBOL, because her job was to take the code that the programmers made and manually type it all out into a machine that made the punch cards. At first she knew nothing and was never taught, but after a while she learned and started pointing out errors and stuff that the other programmers missed. Eventually she was promoted, and worked for years doing programming for mostly large pharmaceutical companies.
