  • Since I didn't know:

    "Parasocial" refers to a relationship or connection felt by a person towards someone they do not know personally, typically a celebrity, character in a media, or public figure. This relationship is one-sided, meaning the other person is unaware of the connection.

  • If the F-35 was made solely out of aluminium, like an equal-mass paperweight, the price of the raw material would be about 0.013 million USD per aircraft. In reality it sells for about 80 million. I doubt it's price will soar because of the cost of aluminum.

  • Forget avocadoes. I've just learned you can ripen mangoes by leaving them by the window in the sunlight for a few days.

    You know those green sour crunchy kind they sell at the corner store? They ripen to a beautiful lush aromatic softness.

  • Ok, so:

    Sleep paralysis demons are hallucinations experienced during sleep paralysis, a condition where the body is temporarily paralyzed, often during the transition between sleep and wakefulness.

    So what's the joke here, that for some people the experience is pleasant in a sexually deviant kind of way?

  • Thank you for answering! And thank you for posting such a varied selection of art here so consistently!

    Your answer was exactly what I was looking for, confirmation that I'm not missing something obvious.

    After looking at it for a while, I'd say what this looks like to me is the view you'd get from a darkened doorway (or window) and seeing a glimpse of a sunset/sunrise over distant mountains. All covered up in an unconventional semi-pointillist technique (that apparently was pretty pervasive in her work, I'm learning) and lack of details.

    That kind of scene would evoke a feeling of wanderlust mixed with either regret or anticipation (sunset/sunrise). But it's all very vague and full of alternatives.

    I think that the comparison of abstract art to classical art is sort of like comparing quantum physics to classical physics. Not in the difficulty rating though; classical art is incomparably more difficult to get right.

    Whereas classical art & physics deal with crisp, clear representations that delight in trying to be as precise as they can be, abstract art, like the physics, describes fields of probabilities and multiple paths/interpretations that overlap and interplay. Abstract art doesn't want us to admire a thing, but a hopefully cleverly crafted cloud of possible 'things' it could be suggesting at once using just a few vague strokes.

    The viewer could collapse their own personal waveform on one interpretation but I think you're right, we're supposed to admire the fog, not try to see through it.

  • Color-correcting algorithm removes the effect of water in underwater scenes

    Jump

  • I get the impression this is a video-only thing because you need multiple vantage points of the scene. You can still extract a single frame in the end of course (like the article itself does), but you'll need to shift around meaningful distances, like attack submarines do with Target Motion Analysis.

  • That's 25 attoseconds, no?... If so, that's impressive.

    The power record holder right now is the Măgurele laser in Romania, at 10 PW, but it lasts a thousand times longer, at 25 femtoseconds I believe. I can't find clear info on pulse duration anywhere. They do intend to decrease pulse durations it seems.

  • Toshiba says Europe doesn't need 24TB HDDs, witholds beefy models from region. And we have no homegrown alternatives.

    Jump

  • Toshiba may also attempt to ship as many high-end HDDs to its American stock as possible before country-specific tariffs kick in this July to grab some extra market share.

    Interesting. So prices and availability might change dramatically worldwide in/after July.

  • This doesn't make sense to me. The ultimate value of shares is in the dividends they represent, no? If there are no dividends ever, what are they sharing in? Is it just a postponement until future dividends? A share in control of activities?

    I get that there'll be speculation that will keep values increasing, and selling can net a profit, but what does the last share-holder get?
