Every lens leaves a blur signature—a hidden fingerprint in every photo.

In our new #TPAMI paper, we show how to learn it fast (5 mins of capture!) with Lens Blur Fields ✨

With it, we can tell apart ‘identical’ phones by their optics, deblur images, and render realistic blurs.

MPs second jobs are institutionalised bribery. They should be banned.

Prime duty of MPs is to serve the people, not corporations or their bank accounts.

Preventing MPs from selling their souls to the highest bidder is a necessary step in democratising parliament

World’s biggest bank shuns UK bonds over minimum wage fears.

Pathetic. Millionaires at JP Morgan resent that the poor may be able to afford food, housing, education, pension.

Can't recall bankers concerned about dangers from their own speculation & profiteering.

It is class war.

Democide in our times

In England 300,000 people a year die prematurely awaiting hospital appointment.

Govts find money for wars, corporate bailouts/subsidies, tax cuts for the rich but neglect healthcare.

Old, poor sacrificed to the gods of neoliberalism. Casualties of class war.

Number of pubs in England and Wales falls below 39,000 for first time.

Years of austerity, real wage cuts, high rents, energy profiteering take toll.

People cut discretionary spending, hospitality industry suffers, social spaces disappear.

"Social cleansing” taking place across England.

Richer councils dumping people on housing waiting list to poorer areas, long distance away, often in substandard accommodation.

Poorer councils left to find schools, doctors, hospitals, jobs, transport, services

UK finance Industry deregulation is dangerous.

Post-2008 crash reforms reversed.

Consumer protection weakened, reckless speculation inevitable, asset prices will inflate, bubble will burst.

City shuns long-term investment, won't fuel economic growth.

UK household energy bills are up, expected to increase again in April.

Energy companies making record profits.

Their profiteering is our cost of living crisis, inflation, poverty. People will die because they can't afford to heat & eat.

Govts won't curb profiteering.

Privatisation of healthcare.

UK patients unable to get dental care after ‘eye-watering’ rise in private fees.

£775 for root canal work, £435 for tooth extraction, £325 for a white filling.

People pull their own teeth, face health hazards, companies profit.

UK's high energy costs are creating poverty and killing people.

Energy profiteering is increasing business costs and destroying jobs.

During a debate on "Get Britain Working" I asked a Minister to control energy costs.

See what you make of the Minister's reply.

The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.”

But just as tax cuts for corporations have not trickled down, regulatory cuts have not benefited most people.

Big companies enjoy bigger profits. Working people bear the costs.

To recap, the guy nominated Ambassador to Israel does not recognize Palestine and the guy picked to lead the military gets drunk a lot and yells stuff like "Kill all Muslims".

I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.
