sure, i just find the purple case to be especially weird somehow. like, had our eyes evolved to only have two kinds of cones we'd only "see" actual spectral colors (as dogs do), determining the perceived frequency by the intensity ratio, having mixed light always being seen as the average of its wavelengths. but then we got a third cone for sensitivity, and we got the weirdo case where the red and blue cones are excited without the green, which no longer corresponds to a frequency so we just invent a new color for it. and that when we talk about birds with five kinds of cones seeing more color than us they really "see" a frequency decomposition of the light.

well, old hat for most people i presume, i had just never thought about it properly.

It's pretty insane that there is no such thing as magenta light.

apple is gonna try and present egpu as making mac good for gaming and try really hard to ignore

that all the gpus on offer are relatively low end
macos has no good game support and apple deprecating a whole bunch of things while not supporting vulcan isn't very nice
no nvidia support

apple will never care about pc gaming, they have a service you can pay 5 bucks a month for mobile games, that's their gaming solution

also apple is there to promote homekit

Apple’s HomeKit, a system for controlling devices in the home, will also be on display. Some companies will show off new gadgets for the home that work with Siri, Apple’s digital assistant.

otoh i had my brain broken a bit when i learned this year (how did i not know, or at least notice the impossible 2d'ness of color charts?) that purple does not have a wavelength but is our brains made-up representation of "a color midway between red and blue which is not green", and while a computer can also do that for us it drives home how fake our idea of colors are.

True, but violet is real (ie spectral)

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

tbh having one built in to the showerhead doesnt sound that stupid but it also doesnt really have any advantage over a portable better speaker like mine that you can also use for other things although i never do

the fact is that you just don't need the speaker literally in the shower. It makes no sense and it's why the shower radio isn't a thing (until 2020 apparently its all new again bay-BAY!!!).

You can have the speaker on the other side of the shower door and still hear it fine

i once watched Saul kripke give a talk about Frege. one of the things he brought up was how kids independently come upon the idea of color solipsism. he repeated the phrase "even children have it" probably 20 times. I have a recording of this somewhere.

later I asked a professor why he didn't go to the talk. his answer was "you only have to go to the circus once."

so this year more 8k tvs are coming out. maybe theyll be more efficient than the current samsung 8ks whose processors burn like the sun. its similar to the 5g situation on phones.

since there wont ever be 8k video content theyre trying to sell it like being ready for the next generation of consoles which is pretty disingenuous. im sure the consoles will have hdmi 2.1 and output 8k but it would be a huge achievement if games even ran at 4k resolution

also i was looking at an 8k tv to use as a monitor sometimes and airplay streams at 1080p lol

honestly I expected Segway to have a mount for disabled people that held them upright at standing level, so they can, y’know, stand around with other people.

they did – the OG Segway was a commercialization of a self-balancing wheelchair.

They made them up until 2013 – they cost $30k to buy but medicare would kick in $5k
