So it cannot tell the difference between different receptor strengths, such as bright blue vs dark blue, each only has a presence and an absence, like a 1-bit per channel quantized image?

Surely it could also see blue in the same place as it sees red, and then gain information from that even if it does not interpret that as purple?

If both of these were true than it would be able to see 2^12=4096 distinct 'colors' (where each is a combination of wavelengths originating from the same area)

Can they not see the strength of colors, only their presence? Or can they not see different colors in the same location?

Is it just that they can see the color channels separately but not combine them?

Just the span of wavelengths isn't the only thing that's important, the spectral resolution is also important. For example, theoretically with 6 different cones we would be able to tell the difference between the mixture of red and green wavelengths vs only seeing yellow wavelengths.

Or the mixture of blue and red wavelengths vs violet wavelengths, which just happen to be at the furthest possible point from the red wavelengths. Human color perception is strange.

Surely they could see some color half as strong in the same place as another? Where does the difference come from?

Imma invent a new image format that just counts all of the photons and their wavelengths

I have heroic added to Steam (ironically) but it works well so I can launch it easily from both desktop and gaming modes.

(just set it up recently because Control was free on Epic for Christmas, the hdr mod works great on the OLED)

Income inequality is also much higher than it was in 1971, it's about where it was at the start of the Great Depression

CPUs are 100% efficient if they’re also replacing your electric space heater

polynomial approximation seems like a weird choice for audio, is it really more efficient than a frequency based encoding?

also, it seems like audio compression formats have seen a lot less development in recent years than images have. I want to try encoding audio as a lossless jpeg xl now just to see how it does, I think it should be possible as jpeg xl supports extremely large image dimensions

I would say that patriotism in small amounts can be beneficial as it can drive you to improve your country, but patriotism in too large of amounts would drive you to ignore its flaws

 

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.

colors rule (lemmy.world)
 

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)

I've often seen this sort of thing in videos advertising GI in minecraft shaders, and tried it out in blender.

 

This is at JFK, does anyone know what they are used for? There wasn’t an obvious time when it was taking a picture.

Prompt: A cyberpunk scifi painting of a floating city in the air above the sea

It uses a new, fancier, 18GB text encoder (t5) to follow the prompt much more closely. It isn't perfect, but its much better than SDXL in my opinion. It does seem to be a bit worse at photorealistic subjects and has a tendency to create 1-pixel vertical lines.

Some other images:

impressionist, a woman sits in the middle of a crowded cyberpunk street, people bustling around, orange and blue glowing signs, warm atmosphere

a bright cinematic photo of a solarpunk city at midday, skyscrapers, steel, glass, vines and fields of vivid tropical plants

 

I get around 1 image every quarter of a second on my 3060. The quality isn't up to par with regular SDXL (not even close) but it follows prompts well and is extremely fast. Here are some of the best images in this batch:

Prompt: "impressionist oil painting, watercolor, a crying old southern man eats cheese at sunset in front of a futuristic dystopian cyberpunk city"
