The six dungarees of Kevin Bacon?

I just met John Robson at a meeting who was one of the first people in the world to run a frequency domain analysis on time series data - on EDSAC! He spent a long time explaining the precise algorithms to me - amazing!

Note that in one way finding life on other planets would be a disaster - implying that the 'great filter' is more likely to still be ahead of us...

A feature that no one is talking about but which is even cooler: You can use the same technology to a) directly simulate color blindness (drive the L and M cones with the same signal) and b) in theory drive subsets of a dichromat's L cones with derived L- and M- cone amplitudes - does that make them sort of trichromatic? Such an amazing technology! The whole AO story ultimately links back to the Starfire Optical Range : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starfire_Optical_Range

I see what you did there!

Their pricing is incredible on the token plan - something like 50b tokens for $60!

Is it wrong that I prefer the Shrek version?

Through the magic of liner algebra it turns out that you can stimulate cones independently even with normal displays. Search for 'silent substitution'!

I used to think that as well. This book recently made me think again: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_10,000_Year_Explosion

I don't know about the big 5 but in the six-factor 'open source' version (the HEXACO) the 'H' stands for 'honesty/humility' https://hexaco.org/

Love those old photos of Macromedia - my wife worked in the same building at the time and they bring back a lot of nice memories :)

I think you would very much enjoy this book: https://share.google/boWcVLRiYz0c7EmKh

They talk quite a bit about this sort of thing at the end...

Maybe a job for Daltonize:

It twiddles colors in a physiologically-aware manner to improve legibility for colorblind observers:
