Fair, coming from a physics/chemistry/biology background seeing the connection between the spectrum of light being seen and the color you convert it to was really enlightening. I knew it had to do with phosphors, but the science i

Two other super helpful mental experiments -- - Why is there a "white locus"? How much does my hue shift under different color temperatures (ignoring CRI, which I suggest you do for now) - With what math can I reproduce a color us

I think a huge first step for me didn't require any textbooks, but simply manually calculating the CIE coordinates based on the actual light spectrum. There are some really good articles online at this point, but I think everyone shoul

I think you're talking about the effect where "secondary colors" made by mixing, say, R and G together have a maximum brightness (or I called it I for intensity) that is twice as high as that of pure R because twice as many L

In all honesty, I've yet to find a flexible N-95 of any kind that doesn't seem to leak like a sieve around the nose. If someone is cool with that wearing it fairly loose is pretty comfortable... this is how I almost always see peo

I've been studying color theory a long time, including giving talks about color mixing and indeed HSL space specifically for a decade... I'm with you, there are ways that I think color mixing should be done but I would never say

I think it just varies, but I'm with you. It might be because I also wear glasses, do you? I feel like the ear loops press my glasses harder into my ears, preventing longer term wear (they're great for a half hour, not so good for

High temperature, though I'm confused myself about how a 40% efficient conversion done twice can match a battery. Probably will need to read the actual paper, I thought batteries were on the order of 95%. Maybe it is more energy dense

If a small mass has this much complexity, interacting small masses should be vastly more complex. And by moving slowly I bet a lot would be time based as well. I think it's pretty likely a collection 10x the size would have much more t

I think here I'd like to hope they correct it by using theoretical orbital models instead of AI (well, or a human really), I'd be very worried about that training set =)

The spin is also a bit weird... suggesting that their experimental results were ten times better than their theory predicted doesn't exactly lend a ton of confidence to me in their theory. It's interesting, at that scale. But just

Fair, I switched from 98 to 2000 to XP because Me had such an incredibly bad experience. From a technology stack side I realize you are right, but I did not experience the UI of Windows ME as a successor to 98 and instead experienced it as

If seeing people face to face at the office is beneficial to you go for it. It is often beneficial to me as well, I've been full time back in the office since last August. It is often the case that going to the office is literally coun

Okay, but the frightening part is that this is only true to a point. And that point is where positive feedback loops dominate at which point it is very much boolean, habitable by humans or not. But we do not know where that threshold is. An

It has a variety of default options I can select from. Some I can make limited changes to. For the case I mentioned I have to run it on delicates, change the dry level to maximum, and then run it three times.

I'd say that the key difference is that in, say, the US -- yes, there's tons of very stupid stuff said by media uncritically, and there's stuff the government says. But it's also easy to find opposition points of view. C
