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...

My key point was they are the same if the intended output is a hundredths decimal. That's the way computer science works (and is not subjective). Same also with your example: 90 dB SPL ==> 89.999999999725328 dB SPL. Well beyond the limits of human hearing, and may be the same in computer...

They are both 1.00 if rounded to the hundredth. It is objective from a computer engineering perspective to say they are the same if the intended value of a function is rounded (decimal values often don't go that far...and for applications that do need it, they tend to be represented as float...

Latest news is that ByteDance (the Chinese owner) would rather let it shut down in the US than divest. LibsOfTikTok will have to change her handle....flat Earthers, anti-vaxxers, and urine therapy promoters will just have to be from other sources in the world. Also pretty sure that muckbang...

Both. Since audio stimuli is a perception processed in the brain, your mood and amount of attention spent on listening affects your perception of audio. There are both afferent (towards brain, sensory) nerves, as well as efferent (away from brain, motor) nerves. The environment/and or your...

DTS mode = DTS:X (native object based 3D audio) or DTS Neural:X (upconverted 3D from 2.1/5.1/7.1 audio). Atmos mode = Atmos (native object based 3D audio) or Dolby Surround (upconverted 3D from 2.1/5.1/7.1 audio). Again, in DTS mode, it will upconvert 2.1/5.1/7.1 (or that stream from a Dolby...

What TV do you have? If you don't want to tell me, I can't look up specifics about it and possibly help with seeing what picture settings it has for Dolby Vision. So we'll just have to leave it there. If you enjoy the settings for your TV, great. The only thing I ask is that you don't...

It seems it's you who aren't listening. Take for example audio. You claim you like Dolby Atmos more than DTS Neural:X. In a previous post, you mentioned having 10 Commandments and 2001. Those are both movies that have a 5.1 audio track. There is no Atmos track. So the "Atmos" sound mode is...

I don't know how many times I have to repeat myself. When a video is encoded in Dolby Vision, it gets decoded has Dolby Vision. If you're in DTS:X mode, and if the audio is Dolby Atmos, then it just sees the 5.1 stream and upconverts to 3D audio. Same is true for "Dolby Atmos" mode if you are...

Again, the actual video has a video track that's either Dolby Vision, HDR10, or no HDR. There is no switching them on or off: it's how the video is encoded. Most 4K TVs support Dolby Vision now (there were some Samsung and Sony TVs that opted for HDR10+ instead of Dolby Vision). For those...
