Driver assistance and self-driving cars are probably one of the cheapest and low-effort band-aids to the infrastructure mistakes made in the US.
They are, of course, not as good as more enlightened city planning, but they’d be an improvement to the status quo I expect, especially the way the quality has made some serious strides lately.
I get a sense that traditional automakers are done chasing Tesla on the technology and that’s unfortunate. Those traditional automakers figured out that their buyers don’t care that much about it, and the ones that do care already left for Tesla. Plus, the self-driving that really works best relies heavily on serious AI technology.
There is a nuance missed in the discussion so far - Starlink is creating a new product level, differentiating service between continental and intercontinental aviation connectivity. Previously these were a single category.
If you are operating in North America for example, your service is going from $10k to $12.5k. Still a 25% increase, which is not fun, but I think a lot of the customers affected by this will fit into this category. You only need the $20k plan if your aircraft travels between their roughly-continental regions.
Nicholas Air, quoted in the article, appears to have no need for the $20k plan and should not use it.
Simple answer: There is no physical basis, it's style
Pedantic answer: Unless the light source has different colors on different sides
Complex answer: Kind of. Even a linear color fade (from reality) can turn non-linear (and therefore induce color effects) when pushed through a color grading pipeline. So if you count e.g. film emulation as a "physical effect", then yes.

I've seen some footage from a particular Red camera body that introduced some very interesting effects. This particular camera had an issue with the Green channel. The camera was used in a commercial shoot for some fast food chain's shakes. The whip cream would turn magenta when the exposure was pushed because the green channel just wouldn't get there as fast as the red and blue channels. The secondaries had to go dig out extra green channel data plus other tricks to get the whip cream to end up white. After pushing other footage, the magenta tint could be seen else where as well.
TL;DR it's not just film emulsion issues where weird edge case things like this happen.
Not sure. I never had to work with Red footage to that extent. I just remember the colorist showing it to me. Maybe he knew about it and just pointed it out to me because it was such an extreme example. I wasn't a colorist, just someone that worked with a colorist. An assistant would even be glorifying it.
I think the effect the author is talking about is definitely caused by atmospheric scattering, but the painted effects are different. Those are more likely inspired by overexposure, aberration, HDR, etc. Makoto Shinkai specifically is a filmmaker and often emulates camera effects like lens flare.
It happens in reality, though I've only noticed it with desert sunlight. It's caused by light cast into the penumbra from scattering and diffuse reflection. You can't see this in the lit area because your photoreceptors saturate, which looks white.
This seems more like a chromatic aberration "hack" for HDR landscapes (intensely-lit portions of the scene would have color fringing apparent at the boundaries of light/dark due to dispersion in the observer's lens).
(And it's def a style choice, looks cool when done right! :))
Not sure it happens with the sun, but if you have differently located light sources of different colors you can get shadows of different colors (because the shadow area is one source being blocked but it is still illuminated by the other sources)
Came to ask this. I suppose if the edge of the sun glows in a different color than the rest, it would tint the edge of the shadow too? So maybe appropriate for sunsets, where the sky near the sun is red but the sun itself still glows bright white. Honestly just guessing.
I wonder if consumer routers will end up being built in a trivially-not-a-router configuration - something akin to a pull-tab or turn of the screw that closes a circuit, transforming the device from legally something else into a router after it's purchased.
"this here is a virtual network appliance, so called because it doesn't have any ports on it - wait, why are you taking off that blanking panel? That's illegal!"
It would probably be locked behind a paid upgrade. Shame that so many features are locked behind a subscription model, and super annoying that they try to force the subscription every single time you open the app, sometimes more than once.
>we introduce the Collision Realization And Substantial Harm (CRASH) Clock
The needless forced backronym is another clue. It's Cargo Cult technical writing.
Why did this need to be a (badly done) acronym at all? It's a countdown to a collision, a collision clock, but of course "crash" (in all caps no less) sounds worse, and science writing needs sciencey acronyms don't ya know...
