but everyone hates the big companies and the rich people

its just that the right has been told that the left are the rich people (and then the left say that the neoliberals are the rich people, etc)

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
