I'd say there's still a difference in that while DSLRs and smartphone sensors have individual readouts for each colour channel, scientific instruments do not. So a DSLR or smartphone camera still outputs a multichannel image with

What really interests me is why your field is still using untyped CSV data for exchanging information, instead of say XML. And why hasn't there been a collaboration between professionals to fix this on an organisational level (like agr

You are correct. NASA employs artists to generate published press images. The individual pictures sent by the spacecraft are indeed monochrome images taken with different filters. These filters don't usually correspond with RGB and cal

These aren't colour images - they're all coloured after the fact. What the sensors do is to take images in multiple wavelengths. Each individual channel is still monochrome and "real colour"-images are produced by interp

How so? Trademarks have to be registered in order to be protected and even then you have to actively pursue potential violations (i.e. "defend it"), lest you lose it anyway. You really think that your average family restaurant o

It goes deeper than that. There is intrinsic irreducible complexity that comes with many problems and there's no way to fix that. Software solutions also cannot scale linearly with the complexity of the problem. In fact, it's prov

Not to be rude or anything, but if the target audience needs basic semantics explained to them, I don't know they would benefit from an in-depth explanation.

Could indeed be a trade-off between speed vs complexity and efficiency. Maybe there will be transistor-based human-level AGI soon, but I guess it would require several kilowatts of power compared to the 20 or so watts a human brain requires
