That Pac-Man “mouth” is collapsing to a constant width line like halfway in for the last for examples for me. Having some weird mid-length discontinuity in the edge direction for me. Not just perceptually. Maybe I’m misunderstanding somethi

The minute black area on the inner part of the sector getting perceptually boosted with the same ramp width like the outer area is effectively how an outline on a shape would behave, not two shapes with no stroke width. I would expect the o

It's quite a hybrid would count this a in-camera, not pure practical. not to this discount this but to encourage mixing media. Lots of projection mapping going on which is pretty much capturing a digital screen on other surfaces.

The historical part completely misses the first boom of EV from 1890s to 1910s besides mentioning that they existed. The history of those is the big untold story here. It doesn't help if you're betting on the right tech too early.

Quite a few EU national libraries have legal desposits of cultural works extended to video games. It's not that far fetched for them to expect that their copies should be working. For ephemeral GaaS the libraries could require a video

I just don't get why it's reinventing the whole wheel here – try using an off-the-shelf codec and tack on a sparse correction. For example, encode frames with a modern lossless/near-lossless codec (AV1 with QP=0) and then app

That's exactly what im talking about. Re-Containerizing MPEG-TS as-is to something like mkv, vs. Transcoding is exactly what I'm talking about here. There are currently not any meaningful ways known to me, to even make MPEG2 files

Funny enough HDR content works absolutely perfect as long as it stays on device that has both HDR-recording and display tech, aka smartphones. The problem starts with sending HDR content to SDR-only devices, or even just other HDR-standards

Maybe my response was part of the broader HDR symptom—that the acronym is overloaded with different meanings depending on where you're coming from. On the HN frontpage, people are likely thinking of one of at least three things: HDR as
