OP: "This is my most advance moon photograph EVER it consist of 81000 images and over 708GB of data." (see comments.)

From the other place: https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/1dmibwd/this_is_my_most_advance_moon_photograph_ever_it/...

Extremely high res moon photo, with enhanced colours. The surface is pockmarked and traces of different elements are apparent across the surface.

Pasted from the Reddit thread:

The colors don't match what a human eye would see, but without going into a philosophy tangent, color is extremely complex and a huge part of what a human sees is your brain doing representations and mapping that isn't perfectly represented in the physical object being observed.
In this photo the saturation has been increased (versus a human eye) because it helps show the geological differences on the lunar surface. The reddish areas are high in iron and feldspar, and the blue-tinted zones have higher titanium content.
Instead of thinking of the color as "real" or "fake" it's probably better to think of it as a tool, to simulate if you were a super human with the ability to adjust saturation and detect metal composition with your eye.
Usually when a photo like this is shared by researchers and scientist all this nuance and exposition is included, but then journalist and social media get a hold of it and people start crying "fake" without an understanding of what the image is trying to accomplish.
TL;DR - The image isn't what a human eye would see but it isn't just art to look cool, the color and modifications have physical meaning and serve a purpose.

My first thought too. This needs a Randall Monroe ‘What If?’ explanation.

According to my app monitoring: 1hr, 49min per day on average. Erk.

Don’t know what this technique/style is but I love the bold, impressionistic (?) brushwork. There’s something about making as few, but confidently well placed marks as possible - while still capturing the essence of the subject and it feeling dynamic - that pleases me.

foofiepie ,

I have seen this sort of minimal treatment work well for (human) portraits too.

foofiepie ,

Possibly yes. Perhaps we can wait here until an actual artist comes along and sheds (hah) light on the matter.

I’ve done one 110 hour work week. Once. It is possible.

I did tell the manager to foxtrot oscar shortly after that week.

Royally handsome. Beautiful coat.

Sexy triplets too 😂. (Eg 17,23,29)

Ok you mathematicians are nuts.

foofiepie ,

I had this thought. I think it’s because they’ve used mortar/cement when these are supposed to be drystone walls, and whatever the hell that concrete monstrosity is.

I’ve spent a lot of my career amidst / adjacent to ergonomics experts and I have a feeling you’re 100% correct here. Industrial designers talk a lot about external and internal conventions and I’d wager this is one.

Came here to recommend nuking it with Linux to get a much slicker experience but I see everyone else had the same idea.

Also gtf off chrome.

How do we package food products sustainably in coming decades?

I imagine all plastics will be out of the question. I'm wondering about what ways food packaging might become regulated to upcycling in the domestic or even commercial space. Assuming energy remains a $ scarce $ commodity I don't imagine recycling glass will be super practical as a replacement. Do we move to more unpackaged...

foofiepie ,

Amen to that. Seaweed food packaging. I know of some people trying to get this accepted at big companies eg airlines. Their kids made a whacky video about plastic’s impact on marine life. Behold: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mT4BVDbXS1Y

foofiepie ,

It still needs a name and logo.

Index.
Tell it like it is.

foofiepie OP ,

Ooh difficult question.

The John Woo movie ‘Cypher’ was a great mind bender, I like stuff like Gattaca, Day After Tomorrow(?), anything that plays with time and reality.

foofiepie OP ,

The time is up. I have a promise to keep.

Thanks for the recommendation!

My grandmother had her own vegetable garden, and kept a full pantry, rotating out canned, preserved and dried food properly, had candles, water collection, all sorts of stuff.

What they call prepping nowadays was once simply common sense.

I feel this will become more mainstream in decades to come.

The mallninja knives and other such fluff are bizarre though.

foofiepie OP ,

It was from a Kickstarter, called Path-22.

New research shows that the insects flying around the streetlights are in fact in a living hell that we made for bugs.

@science

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-44785-3

Essentially, their tiny bug brains think the light is the sunset, so they keep turning to keep the "sun" at the same angle so they can go "straight." No matter how far they fly, they don't make any progress. They are trapped in this little hell we made just for them, not understanding why they can't get to where they are going.

foofiepie ,

Spiders do be happy tho.

foofiepie ,

Aye. Happily married for 16 years now. No regrets.

We didn’t have a hugely expensive wedding. Small church and venue. Immediate family and friends. Save your money for a nice honeymoon. Still the best holiday ever.

The cliche is true, you have to work at a marriage but this would be true of any long term relationship. Respect and communication, emotional intimacy, shared experiences - these have shored us up well so far.

Good grief. It’s like watching nerve signals in slow motion.

Another day, another service joins the Google Graveyard.

Google's Business Profiles had a feature that allowed sole traders and small businesses to quickly and easily set up a simple website.

Sure, it's not WordPress, but it was a good option for less tech savvy small businesses to get a web presence up quickly and easily.

And, as part of Google's ongoing enshittification, it's going: https://support.google.com/business/answer/14368911?hl=en&ref_topic=7032534&sjid=14999411477128650858-AP

"Websites made with Google Business Profiles are basic websites powered by the information on your Business Profile. In March 2024, websites made with Google Business Profiles will be turned off and customers visiting your site will be redirected to your Business Profile instead. The redirect will work until June 10, 2024."

Thanks admins, mods and all lemmings, for such a good community spirit in 2023. Roll on 2024 and our collective strength and mutual respect.

foofiepie ,

This is really nice. And from a woodworking casual, permit me to say: not just “ah that’s nice” sentimentally, but an abomination or kitsch car boot find in 50 years… but professional looking proper nice. Great job.

foofiepie ,

These apps seem to encourage ‘transactional’ behaviour.
Less so in my experience irl.
Best formula someone gave me was: get involved with something you enjoy, a club or activity.
Meet people through this.
Get to know them with the pressure off (as you’re enjoying whatever the activity is).
Meet people through activities to form proper relationships, was his take.

I’d love to know if this has actually worked for someone.
