Is there any more open standard than Pantone that expresses color properties across viewing angles/lighting conditions? Like in the 3d digital modelling space maybe?

This. Looking at this kind of research is a kind of game: statistically most such research is wrong [1], so the game is to spot the mistake as to why the research is wrong. I think you are winning this round! [1] https://www.ncbi

There is an often-repeated statement that different quantum mechanical theories are equivalent. This is an over-simplification. Is wave function collapse is a real thing or just an approximation of what happens when a large system is entang

I'm convinced that as long as "metaverse" is a thing that involves putting on a nerdy pair of goggles to participate the whole concept is going precisely nowhere with the general population. Its like 3d TV: no one has any int

My impression is Jubilee is not generally known. Probably knowledge varies a lot by cultural context though (for me: American, non-Jewish).

Weird Al's song released in 1999 [1]. I don't think it was possible to buy a desktop/workstation/server machine in 1999 with 100gb of addressable RAM. So the lyric is absurd (possibly intentionally so). The first 64 bi

The data analysis done to try to salvage results from this mission were nothing short of heroic. See [1] for more detailed discussion of how the Gravity B team pushed on with analysis in the face of systematic errors much larger than the ef

Its even worse. The keyboard (as normal for typewriters of the day) had no numeral '1'. Instead you would type a lower-case 'L'. So the actual hex encoding is 0L23456789FGJKQW.

Optane by itself wasn't a product that acted as a solution to real-world problems. It needed to be incorporated into a larger stack.

Mendel faked his data. Its ironic, I think you intended him as an example in the opposite direction. He is an example where he is famous for having the right idea, but modern analysis statistically proves his data were too good to be true.

There was a similar example in Nebraska with Leona Penner. [1] Her classes were absolutely dominant at every state level competition. One key seems to be an intensely motivated teacher devoting their own life to this and motivating their st

My favorite approach for finding important files is to look at which files have the most number of changes in the source control. At least with Perforce this is very easy. The files that have many changes are ones where important logic happ
