It's just that the right blames the capitalism on the left and the left blames the capitalism on the right, and the actual liberals end up being barely opposed

I don't know what the takeaway from that should be, it's just an observation/simplification that feels generally true

As little downtime as possible is actually better than having more downtime, as the major problems come from heating/cooling cycles

Some things like vr also just barely work without a powerful GPU

I have a 3060 but with the sheer number of pixels that my reverb g2 has its really not enough

The people who are willing to do more unethical stuff to make a profit make more of a profit, and become more powerful as a natural consequence, so the problem is with the system that incentives this and brings it to the top

btw if anyone is wondering why this is a bad idea

(this was >10y ago and "just" internet communications but it gives an idea)

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
