A communications disruption could only mean one thing...

@Tesla We HW3 owners need a trial of v14 lite, or a discount/intro price! v11/12 was simply not worth it compared to v14 on HW4.

@SpaceX @USSpaceForce @grok are those silicon or GaAs cells??

@zo_demalia Could intentionally poor catcher framing to bait bad ABS challenges become a thing?

@mikepat711 Same, though I only have gray RWD models (3 and Y), so nothing special… I also don’t use a case on my iPhone, and never buy AppleCare 😁

swear this nasa dude must have taken bets on how many times he could talk about the “erection of the front porch” on livestream

[Steven Hughes @stevohughes]

@AppleSnob_ I also thought this. Then I tried to set up Apple Pay. 😢

@bennyjohnson that why the video quality is still WW2-era level? 🎥

@SnazzyLabs @mweinbach I mean, Airs have lately been $100+ off not long after launch—heck I got my mom the M3 Air for Christmas for just $399, seemed a no-brainer over the base model.

Don’t sleep on the 12GB for “pro lite” users either. At MSRP, def meh, but at $499 or lower it will be a decent value.

@coralcook3 @Rainmaker1973 lol, the authoritative rage post and insta-block… looks like he’s the one who just died on the digital hill

sadly too few reformed baptists with epistemological humility anymore

[Steven Hughes @stevohughes]

@MiddleBrownie @coralcook3 @Rainmaker1973 “I understand RGB” but you think equally mixing colors makes them get “canceled out”? Balancing ≠ canceling.

[Steven Hughes @stevohughes]

@Praetorius42 @Rainmaker1973 Good point… see how the sky still just looks cyan, not blue. For an opposite trick, you might use yellow instead of cyan, and then a white sky would look blue by comparison. This one only works on red objects like the can and skin tones.

[Steven Hughes @stevohughes]

@Praetorius42 @Rainmaker1973 Sure, or you could say, relative to a cyan reference point, the white is just red 😆 In other words this only works because cyan and red are complimentary. If that can was a sprite, but we still used cyan/white, it would still look red (not green) even tho white has green too.

[Steven Hughes @stevohughes]

@Praetorius42 @Rainmaker1973 It can be measured! Look at some of the other comments on the op. The white is 247 each of red, blue, green (sRGB, max 255). From the white paper it could be measured with an optical spectrometer. You get plenty of positive red value from white!

[Steven Hughes @stevohughes]

@Praetorius42 @Rainmaker1973 Also fair. But I think it’s quite helpful to understand how the trick works. Cyan becomes your new “white point” for the brain, so the brain then overemphasizes the red hue within the actual white. The brain isn’t simply inventing the perceived red out of nothing. It’s relative.

[Steven Hughes @stevohughes]

@Praetorius42 @Rainmaker1973 I replied to another post about the print question too. If you have white on paper it is simply reflecting the red wavelengths instead of emitting them.

The effect would persist, especially under a fairly “natural” source of light (with a good color temp and CRI).

[Steven Hughes @stevohughes]

@Praetorius42 @Rainmaker1973 What I’m saying is the statement “there is no red in this picture” is technically false. If there is white, then there is red (by definition).

[Steven Hughes @stevohughes]

@Praetorius42 @Rainmaker1973 Yes. Three elements make the trick work:
1) actual red wavelengths in the white
2) white looking red against cyan bias
3) knowing it’s a coke can which is red

[Steven Hughes @stevohughes]

@DataMeister1 @Rainmaker1973 Yes, it would. White is full spectrum light, so it’s not just RGB pixel-generated whites that contains red wavelengths.

Your brain to some extent constantly interprets a “white point” and contextualizes around it, which does exaggerate the red wavelengths against the cyan here.
