Definitely not _only_ knowledge.

I suspect a lot of people but especially nerdy folks might mix up knowledge and intelligence, because they've been told "you know so much stuff, you are very smart!" And so when th…

There's a spectrum of human involvement in producing a thing, and art is possibly the last thing I want to see automate. In the end, art is about human connection. There's a differ…

Unfortunately, it seems like we will not reach any agreement here.

The problem is that we mix up physical and perception, including in our language. If you look at the physical stuff, there's nothing in this specific range of EM radiation that is …

Yes exactly. I'm intentionally using "color" as a perceptual thing, not as a physical thing. If we are talking about a color model, then it needs to model perception. As such, RGB,…

They are very useful to encode stimuli, but stimuli is "not yet" color. When you have an image that is not just a patch of RGB value, a lot of things will influence what color you …

Except color is a construction of your eye-brain derived from stimuli, surround, memories, etc. It's definitely not something you can plug into a three-value model. Those are good …

Maybe that's a language issue, because purple and violet are color names around here. And as such, they are both a construct of the brain, as any other colors, like... white. What …

No, they are all constructed, including blue. If I shine some wavelength to your eyeball and you say "it looks blue", but then I change the surrounding and now it looks white, I do…

The waves aren't inherently special, your retina is. What if we were sensitive to the 200 to 500nm range? What would be blue, violet and red then? Our eyes and brain are the one co…

You did send a specific wavelength to your retina, but that wasn't violet. Because violet is a construct by your brain. Color is not a property of wavelength. There's nothing speci…

Sidestepping what is defined as an "edge", quite a lot of work is done in the retina, including differential computation across cones - some "aggregator" cells will fire when it de…

Consider that just after the cone cells, there are other cells doing some computation / aggregate of cone signals. Don't forget that color is a brain construct. For those reasons (…

Capitalism is generally good at the startup scale, to figure out who has the best ideas. Once we have collectively decided (or was forced into) a single or a few implementations, g…

Games are not the real world. When you play a game, you are look at an image. For the current topic, motion blur in games is like motion blur with a camera, not like when you turn …

Anyone permanently burned their retina yet?

Let me know when we have the tech to render the real sun's power on your TV screen. Reproduction of reality is not the goal, because it's unachievable.

The information travelling down the optic nerve is already processed heavily by the retina. At a minimum, you have compression by differentiation, i.e. a bunch of rods and cones ar…

You cannot watch raw footage without some transformation unfortunately. It's better to think of RAW as pure data, just like infrared telescope capture data needs transformation to …

Mmm maybe. A bit annoying to backup regularly, but maybe by doing an hybrid approach like other have suggested here could help reduce the backup frequency/annoyance, i.e. duplicate…

I did a roundtrip to the password security rabbithole since the LastPass incident and my conclusion is there's virtually no way to have something truly safe - you can have a lot of…

Maybe start by having a sustainable growth (or you know, no growth!) so you don't have to write a completely emotionless letter explaining why you have to lay off a whole village?

Engineers wants C++, scripters and artists wants Visual Scripting. Seems like an obvious choice to make everyone happy instead of trying to find a middle ground where nobody is?
