They should have used Gaussian Splats, surely this would reduce processing overhead.

It comes down to each pigment acting as a UV shield for the other. Paint fades because specific wavelengths of light (mostly UV and high-energy visible light) break down the chemical bonds in pigment molecules. The key is that different pigments are vulnerable to different wavelengths.

Yellow pigment absorbs blue and violet light. That's what makes it look yellow, it reflects the longer wavelengths and soaks up the shorter ones. But the UV and violet radiation it's absorbing is also what gradually destroys it.

Red pigment does something similar but across a different band, it absorbs greens and shorter wavelengths, and that absorption is what degrades it over time.

When you mix them 50/50 into orange, each pigment is absorbing the wavelengths that would have destroyed the other one.

Quality of comments massively dropped on the HN. It feels like Facebook now.

Same applies to iPhones. Lag (animation) between action and result drives me crazy. Accessibility settings don't help much.

At least Android still allows you to set animation scale, for now.

Private equity cancer, same as Namecheap.

That’s not fair. Google has no hesitation in banning its own customers either. Combine this with private equity vultures (namecheap) and shitty registrar, you are always one AI token away from being banned.

While message is good, this ChatGPT article is unreadable. If this, then that. No point in reading some distilled, glossed over LLM bullshit.

But power user is dying and they are unable to write even a single blog post now.

Reddit became popular largely because Digg alienated its user base with a 2010 redesign (Digg v4) that prioritised publisher-driven and sponsored content over organic, community-curated submissions, driving a mass exodus of users to Reddit practically overnight. So let's stick to facts.

Why do people make claims about stuff they clearly know nothing about.
