Ein Pic davon hatte ich hier schon, jetzt mehrere und noch näher dran an dem Steinehaufen.

"I put my 30-second video in a glitch generator, over and over, to see what might happen: over time, colours disappeared; the length of the video got shorter, until it was at 0 seconds—an unrecognizable thing, a still photo."

Wieder was in der KI-Reihe nichtexistenter Dinge – diesmal computergenerierte Strände. Aus 25 Millionen Fotos von Stränden generiert der Algorithmus neue Fotos.

The video shows the learning process of the network. The learning progress is measured in kimg (kilo images). The network was trained for 25,000 kimg (until it had seen 25,000,000 images).

By attaching a disk with holes to the fan, it converts blinks of lights to electric signals and generates sound from a bass amplifier. Different numbers of holes can generate a musical scale, and turning on/off of the power makes it roar.

#Heimatgeschichte

The history of Berlin’s rapid transit system, U-Bahn (Untergrundbahn, „underground railway“) and S-Bahn (Stadtschnellbahn, „city rapid railway“), from 1902 to 2021 is shown in this animation.

Notes:
The nomenclature, line colours, and routes of the services, especially for S-Bahn, have constantly changed throughout history. The video only highlights major opening, suspension of the tracks in service and does not show minor name changes, route changes, etc. I did try to capture the route and name changes of the lines as much as possible, but the video may not accurately represent the actual routes of the lines at that time as there are not enough records of these changes. Hence, these changes only happen in the background and are not shown as a separate event.
For the colours, the lines are shown in the colours that are used today unless they were previously part of a different line. (For e.g. current Line U4 was initially green as it was part of Line B, then changed to blue as it was designated as a separate Line 4 in 1966, then changed again to yellow for better visibility. In this video, the colour only changes in 1966 from green to yellow.)
