In plain words

VWFNDR™ + MBL is a free Android camera app designed for photographers who want to prove their images are authentic. It captures unprocessed Bayer RAW and JPEG files simultaneously while embedding C2PA Content Credentials—tamper-evident proof that photos were taken by a real camera, not generated by AI. The app offers manual controls, variable aspect ratios, and priority modes on a single screen, giving users full creative control while establishing clear image provenance.

From the sources

VWFNDR™ + MBL is a free Android camera built around real photographic capture: unprocessed Bayer RAW DNG and JPEG simultaneously, variable aspect ratios, priority modes, manual controls on a single screen, and C2PA Content Credentials embedded at capture, a tamper-evident proof that every photo was taken by a real camera, not generated or constructed.

MBL is a free Android camera built around Bayer RAW, and transparent provenance via Content Credentials. Restoring the direct relationship between photographer and image with manual controls, a customisable interface and unprocessed capture. First step towards a new generation of cameras focused on trust, authorship, in a time increasingly shaped by synthetic imagery.

    I made a tiny camera with super long battery life2024 · toaster.llc · ▲843

    Hey HN! A few years ago someone kept trying to steal my motorcycle, so I decided to make a small camera with really long battery life to catch them. The hardware/software is totally open source, but the companion app only supports macOS currently. (I'm a big fan of native apps, and didn't want to block releasing on Linux/Windows support.) I wrote some blog posts about the process: PCB design: https://toaster.llc/blog/pcb Enclosure design: https://toaster.llc/blog/enclosure Image pipeline:…

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
