It's not yet easy to buy BYD vehicles in Canada either. The first quota of 49,000 vehicles was only recently announced, and that's to be shared across all Chinese vendors.
Unfortunately CIE standards like the JTC22 (D8/D1) work here tend not to be released for free. Eventually the mathematical curves should be adopted by open source implementations. Hopefully this isn't encumbered by patents.
Does anyone have link to a deeper technical dive on the limitations of CIE 1931 that Apple CMF tries to address? The CIE's JTC22 (D8/D1): Optimized Colour Matching Functions for Display Colour Consistency documents seem to be behind an access wall.
From what I gather, it's an attempt to address the problem of observer metamerism, but I'm curious to know how closely it's tethered to D65.
It’s independent of white point. The metamerism problem is fundamental to the methodology of the 2° XYZ colorspace because it doesn’t model the entire real response of the human eye. Instead it underestimates the response of the blue cone. This can lead to blue becoming purple as Y is reduced. This is because the experiment used lamps with colored filters (broadband light) and not lasers or LEDs (narrowband light).
It’s not just a matter of introducing a correction factor (although that exists, see Judd-Vos) because the solution is more complex than that. The practical take away is that color matching cannot just involve comparing a narrow point in isolation but also needs to have a baseline of controlled surround and specular reflections in addition to understanding the nature of the perceived color (reflective, emissive, narrowband, wideband, etc.).
New York's definition is one of the most detailed. The Australian definition on the other hand probably includes Hacker News because it includes both "a logged-in feature" and "endless feed" and the fact that posts move off the home page probably falls under "time-limited features". Perhaps some legal interpretation will find that paging is not legally "endless feed", but I could see it going either way. The definition basically is written so that blogs with comment sections aren't included, but with quite an expansive scope otherwise.
In the US, yes, but Huawei has been gaining ground selling its SuperPod/Ascend turnkey solutions internationally, with some major recent wins in Thailand, Brazil, Egypt and Morocco.
No. They're a decent playground for prototyping hybrid algorithms but even that is limited. No one has yet published a hybrid algorithm on a rentable QC provider that has better benchmark performance than a modern CPU/GPU implementation.
>there are cross shaped parasites that grant eternal life
Without giving away any spoilers to the books, the parasites are only that on the surface. If anything, the books present a wary picture of religion, especially the last two Endymion books, but also a wary picture of technology.
I'm somewhat sympathetic to the conclusion, but from a different perspective. One of the interesting things I've found about literature is that it's hard to fully appreciate the nuances in the decade it's written.
It's a bit like nose blindness; you don't appreciate the subtle way that your house smells until you've been away from it for a while. Books have a similar "smell" in the sense that it becomes easier to see what aspects are tethered to a particular era and what aspects are more universal when some time has passed. Even "fun" works like Snow Crash have aspects of this; there are parts of the book that stand out as pretty timeless and others that feel early 90s-west coast ways of viewing the world and people. When I read it for the first time years ago, none of that really stood out.
Same thing applies to film though. Ignoring pacing, My Dinner with Andre is IMHO way more fascinating to watch today than it was 45 years ago, because what's wheat and what's chaff is clearer in retrospect.
In this case the article's guess is probably accurate. Apple did change how they measure RHR in WatchOS 11.2. If the author was using an Apple Watch that doesn't support 11.2 and then switched to one that does, a swing was very likely.
