Nuke bug of the day: Nuke's color pipeline breaks with completely nonsensical errors whenever you add the keyword "default_view_transform:" to your OCIO configuration. That's really weird because it doesn't really do anything color-related except define which value the viewer should be set to initially.

As bombs have been falling across the Middle East, I’ve been re-reading Etel Adnan, Lebanese-American poet and painter, especially her book The Arab Apocalypse.

Found another ngscopeclient optimization opportunity: on this benchmark we spent about ten seconds out of a minute waiting for sscanf() as a result of some legacy APIs (dating back to when all drawing was done in Cairo) that store color of protocol data as HTML \#rrggbb color codes at some steps of the pipeline then convert to packed RGBA32 later. There's caching but apparently even that isn't enough.
Probably time to throw away those legacy APIs and do better. Or at least begi…

PAColorHolo: A Perceptually-Aware Color Management Framework for Holographic Displays
Chun Chen, Minseok Chae, Seung-Woo Nam, Myeong-Ho Choi, Minseong Kim, Eunbi Lee, Yoonchan Jeong, Jae-Hyeung Park
https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.14766 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2601.14766 https://arxiv.org/html/2601.14766
arXiv:2601.14766v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Holographic displays offer significant potential for augmented and virtual reality applications by reconstructing wavefronts that enable continuous depth cues and natural parallax without vergence-accommodation conflict. However, despite advances in pixel-level image quality, current systems struggle to achieve perceptually accurate color reproduction--an essential component of visual realism. These challenges arise from complex system-level distortions caused by coherent laser illumination, spatial light modulator imperfections, chromatic aberrations, and camera-induced color biases. In this work, we propose a perceptually-aware color management framework for holographic displays that jointly addresses input-output color inconsistencies through color space transformation, adaptive illumination control, and neural network-based perceptual modeling of the camera's color response. We validate the effectiveness of our approach through numerical simulations, optical experiments, and a controlled user study. The results demonstrate substantial improvements in perceptual color fidelity, laying the groundwork for perceptually driven holographic rendering in future systems.

This is pretty much why I hate the two party system. You can talk to someone and they're CLEARLY a republican, and then they're like "and yes I'm a Democrat!"
I didn't vote for Eric Adams because HE WAS A FUCKING REPUBLICAN. It's not "vote blue no matter who", because "blue" is meaningless if republicans can wear that color.
Over the weekend, I read Rebecca Campbell's Arboreality (2022). It's an enthralling novella about climate catastrophe, community, and collaboration with the natural world. The story, set in British Columbia, bounces between loss and hope, suggesting that doing the hard work of building a new world from the ashes of the old is how one staves off despair and keeps hope alive.

If your solution is `font-weight: 500`, don’t be surprised when you get dinged for 1.4.1 Use of Color.
`500` often renders no differently than the default (`400`). It’s adversarial conformance.

I see some posts arguing that everything in Minneapolis is just more of the same that people of color have been living with forever, and white people are just waking up to it. I have never once heard that sentiment, however, from a BIPOC person who’s been living •in Minneapolis• for the last two months.
There is a crucial point there: this •is• precedented. It’s all precedented. But it’s not just more of the same.

My opinion on chatbot is starting to shape into it's final form:
It's a search engine that gives you only average results, and that is incapable of citing the source.
It's also capable of mixing in multiple averages to make one giant brown color.
And this is a direct consequence of the design: it's trained to generate generic credible text and that's what it will do.

My neighbors definitely do not think this is more of the same. You don’t have to take my word for it. Look at how many Somali and Latin-American restaurants were thriving in November and now are closed, or getting almost no business if they are taking the risk of staying open. Look at how many kids are staying home from school — regardless of legal status, just because of the color of their family’s skin. Look at how many families are living in houses filled with dirty laundry because they won’t even take the risk of leaving the house to go to the laundromat.
