I love it as an evocative image. But I absolutely hate that you used a lossy format

https://x.com/Havenlust/status/1854750698769920469/photo/1 My comment: I love it as an evocative image. But I absolutely hate that you used a lossy format so I cannot study the pixels with deep algorithms I know and design. NONE of the colors will match the original. Because you let the bad jpeg algorithms chew up your raw sensor data and

DNA genealogy – global, open shared, lossless, efficient, fair and for all humans

I have whole sections of my DNA matches that are off by two generations. Everything is crowded into 3rd and 4th cousins and many of them make no sense. I have found that part of that is mistakes in trees that are propagating faster and with less and less review. Ancestry does not give sufficient

RGB to HSL Conversion Equations, Dana, Brian and the eternal species

I was looking at the AIA 171 videos at Solar Dynamics Observatory. I took on of the images into paint and checked the RBG and HSL values. I was surprised that the hue did not change. It almost seems as they used a fixed hue and changed the saturation and intensity. What are the equations

Controlling and shaping the near field to generate 2 meter or 20 meter long plasma channels

It should be possible to form that into a single beam. Thanks for sharing. Controlling and shaping the near field to generate 2 meter or 20 meter long plasma channels It would need an additional array of charge and voltage nodes, sensors and machine intelligence algorithm. I am just saying it should be possible. My

Super-magnification of the sun with real time autofocus algorithms and precise, fast response corrections

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1278689162297491 Ralph, Is there any lossless format for videos (a stack of images) of the type you posted? I mostly cannot clearly see now, so I study the data in the images. Much of solar, astronomical, satellite and other images need processing, not just human eyeballs that fail with time. Any suggestions? I see that
