The most basic way of resizing an image would be multiplying pixels with new pixels of the same values (so similar with audio as far as no difference compared to original). However, there's been quite a few algorithms used throughout the years-well before current AI (resampling an image while...

If you think that, then just stop responding here...no reason to keep feeding.

Forgive me for not reading every post in this ever growing thread....but I seem to remember a post from Castle saying the OP hasn't broken rules, may be playing us for a laugh, and best we laugh. My delineation for engaging science is if people claim CD quality isn't good enough, or what I...

It's really easy to sign up to a forum and stay dormant. I signed up on this site many years ago, was very active then about headphone signatures, and was "Headphoneus Supremus" before likes were a thing. At this day in age, where we have more conspiracy theorists promoting pseudoscience...

From what I can read, currently it's Spotify, then Apple, then Amazon. But all 3 might be considered equal as far as having slightly over 100 million titles. I've been an Apple subscriber myself: included in my cell plan. I also like that since speaker music I listen to is through Atmos...

I remember I responded to this quite awhile ago about how decimal representation happens with computer science, as well as rounding (and how this postulate is absurd). Would like to say it's interesting that this keeps repeating, but at this point.... Can't see how this supposed precision works...

Or that it's just one FR that only early man was exposed to when seeking a waterhole. In reality, its a series of natural EM frequencies distributed in the ionosphere. No scientific consensus about its effect on human behavior, but pushed by new age "holistic energy" crowd...

What's most telling: the cost of a daily manatee premiere screen is over $20 per person. Apparently all that goes to the studio/distributor and the theater gets its money for costly concessions. I decided I should try out a Dolby Cinema theater near me, and have pre-ordered a ticket for the...

I think what's neat about that movie is that the robots were all leg amputees: while it's hard for people with such disabilities to find acting roles...it's probably worst so that these effects would be CG. Bruce Dern is such a timeless actor: he also is a pivotal actor in Palm Royale (but the...

Black Hole: can understand why Ryokan references it as the gif is Maximilian robot in it, and his avatar is VINCent from the same movie.

Since we're getting into the art of vinyl: I think some of the collectables are really neat. Even though the mastering is from a digital source: you have a young generation liking the large album art. There's also a newer technology of holography: you shine a light at the grooves and you see a...

The OP is saying that it's the same headphone and USB DAC....that there's still an audio difference between the two if plugging in an Android device or iPhone. It's possible there is an audio difference if you do level match the two: we're not talking about a direct connection-there could be...

Oh why did we have CD players in the 1980s if 16bit (or 14bit) wasn't adequate enough?

At one point sunjam was addressing whether he was an AI bot, or he was just utilizing AI to come up with all his answers. At this point, what is the difference? He's able to lasso a few folks to engage with his fallacies and keep on with this thread. When I've engaged, he pretty much confirmed...

There you go again: confusing an optical illusion (which I have described ad nauseam) with a cognitive bias test. Or now you're saying "activity" because it's been highlighted how you're making up conditions if the image is resized. Once again, the aspects of the image being an optical...

Why won't I be surprised if you come back and ask someone else if they have confirmation bias, to then refer to the scaled down optical illusion?:beyersmile:

You claim you have the skills to debunk pseudoscience, but this is an example of you engaging in it! You've just admitted you've made up this scenario of an optical illusion being a confirmation test. You yourself said the squares were a solid gray if they are rendered in the original image...

BTW, you have not posted a confirmation bias test. You have claimed a scaled down optical illusion is a confirmation bias test, when it reality it stays an optical illusion illustration!

Go back to your original tomfoolery post. You said this was confirmation bias with a scaled down image of the original (in which you admitted they were solid gray squares). What the heck? There is no difference with an image when it is scaled up or down: it has the same properties. You’re...

Cool....I see you've completely ignored everything to do with our exchanges and continue to confuse your made up preface as having anything to do with confirmation bias (when all it is is misunderstanding of optical illusion).

I didn't avoid the answer: I revealed exactly what the values of the squares in the center column are if you were to understand what an example of opitical illusion is. You yourself revealed it when you gave the answer for "larger" image vs the same smaller image. But then you continue to...

Eh, you're saying you have been disingenuous in claiming this example is "confirmation bias", and now you want me to ignore that and answer your made up argument? My undergrad is a BFA in Art (then I got a MS in medical illustration, worked in 3D animation, and currently work with software...

LOL....except this isn't an example of confirmation bias. It's an example of optical illusion. It's one of many examples of a graphical contrast illusion (in which our brains fill in information from what our brain thinks is true): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checker_shadow_illusion

I've never viewed flat Earth or chemtrail conspiracies as being "political stuff"🤷‍♀️. The OP went there about comparing science discussion, so I detailed how flat Earth conspiracy is far removed from any science argument.

No, there's a minority of people who are more susceptible to believe in conspiracy theories. They'll be in a "team" that supports their beliefs (which in this case are not based in any scientific evidence). Conspiracy theorists are also more likely to believe that airplanes spray chemtrails...
