[@uUuWolf16uUu]

Hey. I have to say Destiny. I am a right wing dude (libertarian). And I have to tell you: My respect for staying consistent. We don't agree on much but I can admit that you stuck by your guns and I can seriously respect that. I hope this charade of a case will be dismissed and rittenhouse goes free and I hope they counter-sue that prosecutor, because he almost abused rittenhouse to the level of interrogation tactics (repeating a question until you hear a response that suits you etc.). Have a good day bro.

[@emilfilipov169]

You are right on the algorithms part. However, there is a way to test the accuracy of something like that - by having an already scaled up image that is considered a representation of the truth - so if you have a blocky image of a dog and then an upscaled one. You can train an algorithm to upscale the blocky one as well as possible to bring it close to the upscaled one. That is in general... For court cases, that is fucking impossible to have as algorithms are very specific AND you do not have the ground truth - in this case the algorithm will just be injecting information into the image which can decide the case.

It's okay because they don't like them, if you don't like someone then it's okay to betray your 'ethical values' which you preach so strongly but hold so loosely, you're allowed to make fun of people for immutable characteristics. Don't like white people? it's okay to be racist against them, they're the enemy, look at all the bad stuff they do. I feel like anyone with a modicum of self-awareness should be able to see the flaw in that reasoning but it's reinforced so much by their group that the idea that your reasoning might be flawed is immediately rejected. These people would have been Nazi soldiers in Nazi Germany without a second thought, it's the exact same mechanism that occurs in their brain that allowed Nazis to justify the shit they had to do in their regime on a daily basis and a lot of them would have believed everything they were doing is 100% justified. I'm not saying the left is nazis and I don't mean to equate making fun of Rittenhouse to being a nazi, just saying they express no strong individual values whatsoever - their entire belief/values system is a slippery ball rolling around a roulette wheel. These types of people have absolute no integrity, their values are a facade they don't even try to most of the time and they suffer from such intense main character syndrome that any level of introspection would probably keel them over in pain.

Worked as a microscopist and image processing software developer for years. Even pixel scaling is interpolation. Some interpolation methods are less "lossy" than others, but all digital magnification require interpolation (mapping image pixels to screen pixels). The naive way to interpolate (as seen near the 37:00 mark) on most computers nowadays is bicubic interpolation, which just smears the image by finding the average between neighboring pixels. Usually motion gives much better visual information over a series of frames, but if you're using bicubic to enlarge such a small area of an image, you're asking for a high level of burden of proof on your end. Even if they showed nearest-neighbor images (integer scaling that results in blocks of pixels), it would be nearly impossible to tell much information about that particular image. "Enhancing" footage for forensics is about as movie-magic as you can get. Edit: That's not even to mention the fact that most cameras are encoding video with lossy codecs and adjusting for low-light.

I especially like their scenario. So Rittenhouse is right handed. According to the prosecution, he went to that gas station. Set down the fire extinguisher, calmly as they make sure everyone understands and then proceeds to grab the rifle with his left hand at the grip and using the right hand to stabilise the barrel, while the gun is still slung around his neck. Additionally the 10 or so people around him react to this "brandishing" in no way whatsoever. I mean there is reaching and then there is reaching.

@@CrestOfArtorias this also contradicts what every eyewitness, who's testified in court says.

The amount of processing that a phone does nowadays is ridiculous. Particularly the sharpening done to high megapixel images often creates all kinds of artifacts that could look like anything if looking at it at 100% scale.

1 key differences between Kyle saying he wished he had his gun and Rosenbaum saying if he got him alone he would kill him are that Kyle didn't tell the shoplifters he wanted his gun (he said it to a friend he was sitting in a car with) so he didn't even express this to them. It's hard to threaten someone who has no idea you even exist. Also, it's hard to show "state of mind" with a video that's over 2 weeks old.

@@55Noco I think the argument is not the Kyle used deadly force to protect property, but instead that Kyle brought the gun to threaten protestors in order to defend property. If Kyle used the rifle as a way to threaten protestors, this would enact Rosenbaum's right to self-defense. Even if the gun was not fired until he felt his life was in danger, I think there is an argument that the only reason why Rittenhouse needed to use self defense was due to his threats against protestors who acted in self defense against someone threatening them with a gun. Now, I don't think this will stand in Wisconsin due to open carry laws. However, I think it is incredibly unlikely he brought the gun for self-defense over using it as a threat of violence to those wishing to destroy property.

There is no video of the first person he shot. The problen with America's laws is that it is possible for both sides to claim defense. The peoplr chasing Kyle can argue that they thought he was a danger to their lives because he had already shot someone and was running around with the gun. And Kyle can argue that he felt his life was in danger since these guys were chasing him even though he had a gun. The reality is this case hinges in the initial confrontation, for which we have no video or evidence. All we have is Kyle's word, which is obviously not trustworthy. He says the first guy he killed started the confrontation and the other guy can't argue with this because he's dead.

[@MrNaptyme]

@@yoloswaggins7121 What are you even talking about? The first confrontation is the Rosenbaum guy who chased Rittenhouse and throws the bag at him while someone behind him fires a pistol into the air causing Rittenhouse to turn around at which point Rosenbaum (no idea how to spell) catches up and tries to take the gun away from Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse tried to flee the situation, I have no idea how anyone can believe this is anything other than self defense.

[@tomgjgj]

I think it's already insane that kids are allowed to roam in public with firearms even under supervision. That in itself is a failure. On top of that, Rittenhouse was isolated and left on his own, at night in an already dangerous situation. I think every single adult that was supposed to look out for him, from the organizers to the parents, completely failed him. He could have easily got himself killed that night. As for Rittenhouse himself, I saw the footage. I'm telling you right now, if I had somehow been in the same situation he was, there would have been a ton more dead bodies out there. I'd have been taking shots at anyone who even looked at me sideways, purely out of terror. And that's now as a 30 year old, let alone when I was 17. I think Rittenhouse himself handled a difficult and scary as fuck situation exceptionally well and it is NOT him who should be on the stand in court, it's the organizers of his group and his family. The so-called ''responsible adults'' who allowed for him to be in that situation.

about interpolation at around 37:30, everytime you display an image at any scaling that isn't an integer, you don't have a clear pixel correspondence. You could as well try a clear image with pixel perfect fonts, enlarge it by a factor that won't allow 1px to convert to an x by x grid and shrink it back to the original size. You will see that the font actually lost a lot of sharpness. If you save files in between it gets worse and even returning to original size after doubling each axis, you will also get a blurrier result. The only difference about browser/software based zooming of an image file is, that the 'damage' by interpolation is temporary, as you're always keeping the original source, that you're scaling off of. If the presented frame of that video (not to mention low-light, camera based compression, encoding compression) is actually close to what's being discussed in court, interpolation shouldn't even be the topic. 1 pixel in the original file is the normalized error, that you will never get over and no amount of tech could solve that. Describing that dark pixel mesh as a human being is the most you could possibly guess without getting to deep into visual bias.

[@BDKoala]

I have no idea what you just said, but you're right.

[@minitbnn]

The correct way of presenting the footage to the jury IMO would be to go through the footage frame-by-frame, zoomed in using nearest-neighbor. I think the context added from a temporal component would inform an observer way better than any single frame upscaled. Even if it's only 5 frames. IIRC the expert who did the upscaling used almost a substitute for this by averaging the color of a number of frames, and then upscaling that with bicubic. Ironically enough, the image destiny got linked already looks like it's been bicubically upsampled. Also, the part where destiny talks about "inherent interpolation" on hardware is bullshit. If you tell a GPU to put a pixel somewhere, it will do it. Interpolation is configured by the programmer.

With that in mind, being that he was asked to protect property from damage, if no one showed up with a weapon the entire line of good samaritans that are preventing improper violence and protests would have been mauled by the "protesters" and what would have been prevented? Nothing. They would have been the bad guys in the scenario to the people that believe their right to peaceful protests includes the right to destroy whatever they want.

A real key question is "How easy is it to manufacture a scenario in which one credibly fears for ones' life for one to two seconds?" It's probably beyond the scope of the law, but it is materially and sociologically relevant. For instance, if Rittenhouse entered a black church service with his AR15... would the reaction of the congregants at any time become a sufficient reason to use the gun in self-defence?

[@FusionArmorX]

It would depend on the Church's own rules regarding personal items. Most churches that I know of aren't segregated so firmly to be only black or only white.

[@lance8163]

Uhm. It’s private property so in that scenario (assuming guns aren’t welcomed or at least they’re suppose to be concealed), church patrons would legally have to fear for their lives before they could retaliate. Not a legal and it varies from state-to-state ofc. Just because someone has a firearm, doesn’t mean you can just shoot them immediately. Private property or not.

[@6Churches]

@@lance8163 Are you not allowed to fear for your life on private property?

[@CrestOfArtorias]

@@6Churches This is meant in regards to the legality of carrying the firearm. You might have the right to bear arms in public in your state, but on someones private property you have to adhere to their instructions. So if they tell you "no gun" then that means no gun. If the gun bearer then were to proceed to go in despite being instructed that would actually allow folks in the church to use self-defence.

I don't at all agree with the notion that you can't use deadly force to protect property. People have fought wars throughout man's existence over property. If there is a woman that lives alone and someone breaks into her house and starts stealing stuff, she calls the cops and they tell her they aren't going to intervene, what is she supposed to do? She can use "non-lethal" force? She's supposed to try to wrestle a grown man or physically remove him from her house herself without deadly force? Never mind the fact that you can kill people with your hands. This whole incident happened because the police were NOT protecting private property on those nights. What are the owners of that property supposed to do in that instance? Their insurance did not protect them from damage caused by rioting or looting so they were 100% liable for any damages done to their properties. People think they should just sit there and "take it"? That's absurd. In the absence of police, you absolutely have the right to defend private property with deadly force.

Zooming will certainly change the image if it was not captured in sufficient resolution. It depends on the image whether the zooming provides a reliable reproduction or not and for this you need an expert on the algorithm used. There are really good zooming algorithms. Most of the zooms are just the average of neighboring pixels, which creates the blurry effect.

[@brutuslugo3969]

It's kind of weird that the judge was asking him to prove the image is NOT being changed

[@DB1Dragoon]

@@brutuslugo3969 No its not, what's weird is that they didn't clear this way of looking at the evidence first.

@@DB1Dragoon it's just weird to hear a judge ask someone to prove a negative

[@NitBeanTheMachine]

@@brutuslugo3969 if you’re presenting technical evidence you have the burden of proof that it is valid. Think about it like this, the positive the judge is asking them to prove is that the photo is an accurate representation (while zoomed in) this means they have to proof that there was no addition and/or subtraction of important information from said picture.

[@Skarrgan89]

@@brutuslugo3969 You apparently don't understand what the "prove a negative" fallacy is. The "prove a negative" fallacy applies when someone asks you to prove that something that didn't happen didn't in fact happen and it is impossible for you or anyone else to replicate the conditions at the time of the event in order to prove that it didn't happen. Let's say, prove to me that aliens never visited earth. That is an example of "prove a negative" fallacy because it is impossible to prove something that never happened never really happened and it is also impossible for you to create a situation where you can prove aliens never visited earth, in order to do so you would have to idk, make aliens come to earth and then show everyone "see, when aliens visit us you ear this sound, you see that ship over there, the sky burns, whatever" idk. In this case tho, it is possible to prove that image X was not altered/suffer alterations from some software because you can replicate the exact same conditions with another image or with the exact same image if you will, thus proving if it did in fact happen or not. Proving negatives is something that you constantly do in science, so i don't know wtf are you even talking about.

[@hengineer]

the pinch to zoom discussion was fascinating. I think they were right, unless its absolutely on native hardware and you're looking at the RAW, its already been altered by processing and interpolation to get it to fit the display. That's where its up to the expert to explain how the image processed does not alter the intent of the image enough to change a meaning. That picture is so tiny and grainy its dang near impossible to determine anything.
