That's just differentiating nominal numbers from others [1]. The same is much too common everywhere -- zipcodes, student ID number, etc. I am still missing reason why the suggested base 24 is better. :-) [1] https://www.m

Isn't the demo suggesting that the original one also looked more realistic had the content creators simply made better choices for colors and textures?

A general question on plotting libraries -- Why is there so much segregation between 2D and 3D capabilities. Most of them do one or the other.

Indeed. Reasoning based on intelligence came much later into the evolutionary scene. Emotions form a part of the optimization process for animals, creating shorter feedback loops. We feel pain because we won't attend to the injury i

Can you pls. point to relevant literature showing attempts on using STDP. I am not exactly working on this, however, intuitively believe that it should be possible and effective to make STDP work (including handling loops). Thanks.

Sounds good. In my view, there is scope for innovation here by making it easier over how most software applications do this. Here's an example of a very different workflow: https://www.descript.com/video-editing

You are taking the example when dithering is done independently for each color channel. Dithering can also be done across color channels, which can be useful for displays with more than three primary colors. Even in those cases, I found d

I understand the limitations mentioned for reencoding, which are perhaps likewise applicable to other software vendors also. It does limit usage though, in my opinion. It may be fast with GPUs, but the difference on my high end machine is

Indeed, I have observed for it to work better in the raw space. Even going to linear gamma space seems to hurt. However, it's not clear to me why should this be so. For a given wavelength, I would understand that mixing in physical s

Processing time: All of them. (Hardware keeps getting faster and software still keeps becoming slower.) For export, avoiding reencoding where possible is a must in my opinion, e.g., for extracting clips from a video (even if frame boundar
