Every picture is a picture from the past though
- jawns 3y agoPhilosophically, yes. But some photo-editing techniques rely on data that is not backfillable and must be recorded at capture time. And even in cases where there is no functional impediment to applying it against historical photos, sometimes there is product gatekeeping to contend with.
- royaltheartist 3y agoOh yeah, what about this old Kodak I found in my grandpa's attic that prints pictures showing how people are going to die?
- chii 3y agobut how did you know it wasnt a coincidence that the picture depicted a similar scene in the past?
- parineum 3y agoHere's a picture of me in the future.
- miohtama 3y agoJohn Titor, is that you?
- ortusdux 3y agoNo, it's Mitch Hedberg.
- thejazzman 3y agoI had an ant farm. They didn't grow shit!
- drewbeck 3y agoWhere you get that camera at??
- ekianjo 3y agoNot the pictures where you age people artificially
- makapuf 3y agoEvery existing pictures are.
- positus 3y agoIf it hasn't been taken/made/captured yet, it isn't a picture. It's just the potential for one.
- amelius 3y agoEvery state machine is bound to cycle at some point, even if it has the size of the universe.
- flanked-evergl 3y agoThis is not true, its very trivial to design a state machine that won't cycle.
- amelius 3y agoSorry, forgot to add that it should be reversible, like the laws of physics.
- flanked-evergl 3y agoAlso, not all laws of physics are time reversible, i.e. the second law of thermodynamics.
- flanked-evergl 3y agoI would really like to see the proof that it's impossible to design a reversible state machine that won't cycle. But even if you do prove that, you would also have to prove that if the laws of physics are reversible that the universe is reversible. The current best theory and understanding of the evolution of the universe is that it will reach maximum entropy (heat death). There is no cycling when this happens. Can you cite what theory or new discovery you have come across that somehow challenges the heat death hypothesis?
