I always loved the visual aesthetic of dithering but never knew how it's done. So I did some research. This article may contain traces of nostalgia and none of Lena.

The silver halide film grain has an unique look that introduces some texture in smooth image areas, where digital imagery may look synthetic and too clean. Emulating this effect in digital photography cannot be done by simply adding gaussian or poissonian noise to the image, since silver halide grain has varying shapes and sizes. There are two techniques to do it :overlaying an image of natural grain sampled on scanned negatives, on top of the digital image (typically using soft-light or hard-light blend...

[AI summary] The text provides an in-depth explanation of the backpropagation algorithm in neural networks. It starts by discussing the concept of how small changes in weights propagate through the network to affect the final cost, leading to the derivation of the partial derivatives required for gradient descent. The explanation includes a heuristic argument based on tracking the perturbation of weights through the network, resulting in a chain of partial derivatives. The text also touches on the historical context of how backpropagation was discovered, emphasizing the process of simplifying complex proofs and the role of using weighted inputs (z-values) as intermediate variables to streamline the derivation. Finally, it concludes with a citation and licens...
