I feel like the pictures over-exaggerate the difference a bit. The wright flyer was literally made by two people in their spare time while the space program was around 4% of all federal spending and had almost half a million people working on it in some capacity.

I know that camera hardware does not return hdr values. So something in the actual conversion from/in the sensor (idk how cmos sensors work) would have to be affected by the white balance for changing it in the camera software to do lose a significant amount more information than changing it after the picture was taken. Unless the conversion from a raw image also is a factor, but raw images aren't hdr either so I don't really see how that could cause much significant difference.

If the white balance only dims colors and doesn't brighten them then it couldn't possibly clip anything and would have the same effect as lowering the exposure originally (with the new white balance) to avoid a clipped highlight.

I'm not a photography guy (just a computer graphics guy) so idk what the software usually does (I suspect it would avoid clipping? You could also brighten something with a gamma curve for example to prevent clipping...) but I can't find anything online about sensors having hardware support for white balance adjustment.

After some more testing I think the OnePlus one isn't usually that bad, it just works terribly in low light

I'm surprised that it loses dynamic range. White balance is actually built into the camera hardware?

I'm imagining moving verticies on the spinning apple with proportional editing now and it seems like a very quick way to ruin an apple.

I think I'm pretty good at having music in my head, although the problem is that even a very realistic 4 measures stuck in your head is still just 4 measures stuck in your head.

Also, the longer I go whistling or singing something from when I heard it the more it becomes like the sung or whistled version with fewer details.

When I was like 5-8 probably I used to not know how maglevs worked and assumed that the magnets just pushed them forward without any electricity. The maglev perpetual motion generator worked very well in my head though.

Yeah, white balance is very fixable in post tho so that doesn't seem like a significant problem.

This was the auto white balance, and these images are only very lightly cropped. The paper is fairly light but the lights are warm, so it's slightly arbitrary which is better.

These have both been taken with the exact same camera from the same location. The one on the left is with the OnePlus camera app, and the one on the right is from a community modification of the Google camera app to work on the OnePlus 12. The Google one looks a lot better because they use super-resolution from multiple short exposures automatically.

The Google camera app does not usually look better without zoom (in my short time testing) and also has a harder time focusing.

This works in Kerbal Space Program

The advantage of making your own engine is that you can specialize for your specific gameplay.

 

like really, you're just realizing that now??

double slit rule (lemmy.world)

What New York might look like with a double slit as your camera aperture.

What an eye might see, for comparison:

Here's a different, big double slit:

 

in the new minecraft april fools snapshot

it makes your gear degrade quicker with damage

 
 

With the smaller 14b model (q4_k_m), just letting it complete the text starting with "why do I"

edit: bonus, completely nonsensical (?) starting with "I don't" (what could possibly be causing it to say this?)

 

I was thinking about how hard it is to accurately determine whether a screenshot posted online is real or not. I'm thinking there could be an option in the browser to take a "secure screenshot", which would tag the screenshot with the date, url, and whether the page was modified on your computer. It could then hash both the tag and the image data and automatically upload this hash to some secure server somehow. There would need to be a way to guarantee that only the browser could do this, or at least some way to tell exactly what the source was. I'm not much of a cryptography person, but I would be surprised if it isn't possible to do this. Then, you could check if the screenshot you see is legitimate by seeing if it's hash exists in the list of real hashes.

 

mitosis or some such

 

I'm sure everyone's fine with this

 

reference image if you have no idea what I'm talking about:

I know this is a minor nitpick, but it's something that annoys me.

I got this graphics card mostly because it was the best deal on Amazon at the time (gpu shortage), and I also thought it looked decent from the images they had. However, when I actually installed it, all I see is the relatively unattractive looking black metal backplate with some white text. The other side is always the side shown in the promotional images too - not a single one of the pictures in the Amazon listing even shows the side that you'll be seeing 99.9% of the time. Do they think everyone hangs their PCs above them from the ceiling, or has open-air testbenches? Why do they never even bother with the other side? I know they want the fans on the bottom so the cooling is better, but the air in front of the CPU shouldn't be that bad, a lot of cheaper GPUs don't need that much cooling, and a ton of people have watercooling now anyways so the CPU radiators just go on the sides.

 

my reasoning: the actual colors we can see -> the wavelengths that we can extrapolate to -> basically extrapolated wavelengths plus an 'unpure-ness' factor -> not even real wavelengths (ok well king blue and maybe lavender if I'm being generous could be)
