space gifHistory of the GIF from Steve Wilhite to Giphy-rn

Steve Wilhite, the inventor of the GIF, recently passed away at age 74 after getting COVID. After Wilhite’s death on March 14, 2022,  millions of people started wondering about the details of his biggest legacy: GIF (Graphics Interchange Format).As an interesting fact, GIFs are older than the World Wide Web itself. Steve Wilhite introduced the GIF on June 15, 1987 while he was working at CompuServe, the first major online service provider in the US. CompuServe was founded in 1969. It was a self-contained network and it wasn’t connected to other computer networks. File exchange was one of the fundamental services that they were focusing on. Initially, they were using the black-and-white image format called RLE (run-length-encoding). When Wilhite created GIF in 1987, it became a more powerful solution since it supports a color image format and up to 8 bits per pixel for each image.

However, we can’t spend a day without using them. How? Let’s dive into the past of the GIFs to discover how they reached their popularity. The GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format. When it was first created, animation, as we know today, wasn’t even a consideration for GIF format and it could only store 256 colors (the latter is still valid). Its main existence was built on Lempel–Ziv–Welch (LZW) compression. What is Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW)? LZW is a lossless compression algorithm created by Abraham Lempel, Jakob Ziv, and Terry Welch; published in 1984. It is a compression algorithm because it allows files or images to fit into smaller files and images. It does this compression without losing any data in the process.  Previous compression algorithms such as “run-length encoding space gif (RLE)” compressed files by storing the repeated data as a single data value. RLE was widely used for black and white images.Image: Pinterest, Crystal Law, the working mechanism of Run-Length Encoding (RLE)On the other si……space gifFile：BLUE STEREO 3D Time for Space Wiggle.gif-rn

This file is a stereogram. Stereograms are images or animations which combine left and right frames showing slightly different visual angles to allow for 3D perception.The stereogram uses , which quickly oscillates between the left and right frame (and sometimes intermediate frames) to create an illusion of 3D perception without requiring stereoscopic vision or devices.This file was selected as the media of the day for 15 February 2011.

space gifFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ)-rn

First, here are a few key properties about Glaze that might help users understand how it works. Image specific: The cloaks needed to prevent AI from stealing the style are different for each image. Our cloaking tool, run locally on your computer, will “calculate” the cloak needed given the original image and the target style (e.g. Van Gogh) you specify. Effective against different AI models: Once you add a cloak to an image, the same cloak can prevent different AI models (e.g., Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, etc.) from stealing the style of the cloaked image. This is the property known as transferability. While it is difficult to predict performance on new or proprietary models, we have tested and validated the performance of our protection against multiple AI models. Robust against removal: These cloaks cannot be easily removed from the artwork (e.g., sharpening, blurring, denoising, downsampling, stripping of metadata, etc.). Stronger cloak leads to stronger protection: We can control how much the cloak modifies the original artwork, from introducing completely imperceptible changes to making slightly more visible modifications. Larger modifications provide stronger protection against AI’s ability to steal the style. Basic hints if you’re having problems: If you are running Glaze app on a mac, please make sure you have the right version (Intel mac vs M1/M2/M3 Mac). Please make sure you are running MacOS 13.0 or later. If WebGlaze is not responding to your uploaded image, please make sure you do not have any international characters in the filename Glaze/WebGlaze only runs on JPG or PNG files, other formats will produce errors. For best results, send Glaze/WebGlaze PNG files, then you can convert the Glazed PNG file and compress it as much as you would like. If running the Glaze app is getting a missing .json file error, look in the directory mentioned in the error message. IF there is a zip file, unzip it. Sometimes the installer fails to unzip all files, and unzipping will fix the problem. Then try running the app again. If you are running NVidia GTX 1660/1650/1550 GPUs,……
