I'm a colorist and it absolutely does effect color. Every telecine is different and will create a different looking scan. Telecine operators will do a one light pass to try and compensate but any scan needs to be adjusted to achieve what the artist's original vision was.

This extreme naivete is exactly what the parent comment's story is addressing.

Google provides them.

RSS is still alive and well! I even keep a public rss river feed of a bunch of sites I like so I can share my curation with others: https://infoscope.disinfo.zone - of course this has an RSS feed too...

A single file isn't 100TB - an entire production of OCF is ~200TB. A single take is typically 10-200GB depending on a variety of factors.

I'm a film colorist and have done the film print out method plenty of times.

You don't need to print to film to dither and reduce banding, it's trivial to add grain to achieve the same (either digitally or via film grain scans which are overlayed).

The film outs are just a different method of getting a film tone, curve, and grain - though honestly I've done some where people were unable to identify which was the digital master and which was the post film out version. Much of the time it's just an ego boost for the director and dp and a competent colorist can easily recreate it. That said, it's fun to do and means less work on my end so I don't discourage it.

Conscripts explicitly don't serve in Ukraine. The article even notes that.

This was trained to be run at FP8 with no quality loss.

The best part of caving as a sport and science is that you can find and explore virgin systems here on Earth still.

Bitwarden has a separate 2fa app so your totp codes aren't in the same password vault (though you can do that, but shouldn't).

This has been Adobe Firefly's value proposition for months now. It works fine and is already being utilized in professional workflows with the blessing of lawyers.

That sounds actively harmful. Often we want story boards to be less specific so as not to have some non artist decision maker ask why it doesn't look like the storyboard.

And when we want it to match exactly in an animatic or whatever, it needs to be far more precise than this, matching real locations etc.

Ghost does all that.

If someone needs blood transfusions they have larger concerns than PFAS (that's likely at a similar baseline anyway).

AI training doesn't care anymore. Huge amounts of it now are intentionally created synthetic data made by LLM's to generate data to train bigger LLM's. The larger the model, the less it matters.

East coast geology (older, harder rocks) causes earthquakes to feel about ten times stronger than a west coast earthquake. This is felt roughly the same as a 5.8 in California. That's enough to be notable, especially at a shallow depth.

The geology of the east coast makes earthquakes about ten times more intense (according to usgs) so this is similar to a west coast high five.

It's like cgi, you only recognize bad examples of it while the good ones go right past you. I've got plenty of ai generations that fool professional photo retouchers - it just takes more time and some custom tooling.

I'm a colorist with over a decade experience in the industry. I work on about one hundred projects a year (film/tv/commercial/music video) and about 1-2% are canon (dslrs or otherwise). 70% are Arri, 20% Sony (either Venice or FX line), and the remainder are red.

Canon has almost no presence in the professional market.

One component is that El Nino started. Until 2023 we were in La Nina that was suppressing ocean temperatures.

This obviously has no relevance for starlink which does not have local datacenters for cdn purposes. All that bandwidth is going through the satellites right before it reaches the user.

Many people want enough friction that the pleasure of using a smart phone is degraded but the practicality of maps, emails for work, etc remain. It's about resisting the intentionally addictive elements of hardware and software ui/ux and leaving the tool.

TE did the hardware design, it's not a TE product.

It's like those old hard drives "designed by Porsche" etc.

It's definitely not superior in quality compared to a good flatbed but speed is much better.

It barely makes a difference in reality. I've done final online conform tests for major distributors and the differences in savings vs perceptual cost (if delivering to a targeted bitrate) are negligible. It's also entirely moot for blu-ray delivery.

Except they charge a thousand dollars to enter and then let everyone else in for free but they have to wear a badge and the pictures they get from the roller coaster photo booth are 240p.

In the pro world it's common for one person to spend hours on seconds, multiplied over dozens of people working on those same seconds.

No, it's that chat bots have no actual power to fix most issues. They exist to make it more difficult to escalate up the bureaucracy where there is staff that can actually problem solve, issue refunds, give credits, etc. Chat bots are merely a filter to get rid of easily pacified pushover customers and those who refuse to read instructions or documentation.

It is opt-in.
