    The ark departs from Palestine (oneshot)
    https://mangadex.org/chapter/4e3f31a2-1acf-4480-8c27-3a7ed06e9e19

    On a night within the holy land and amidst the holy war, treachery struck. Another historical fiction by Jaadugar author. It's interesting how everyone devoted to their religious causes met unfortunate ends, yet the helpless princess who chose to reject the promise of salvation got to live. But earlier, one of the assassin who felt sorry for her questioned why their imam did not save her. Well, god works in mysterious ways.

    This yuri is doomed on a metaphysical level.

  10. Comment on Turbulent times call for experimental law in ~society

    [...] Beyond Gorzer 128, Munich’s experimental laws are most associated with efforts to transform streetscapes. A signal success is on the Kolumbusstraße, which a few years ago was a standard urban artery, lined with 120 concrete parking slots and choked with traffic.

    Oliver May-Beckmann, who leads the MCube mobility cluster at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), says his group used an experimental clause to close the street to traffic for six months to create a Sommerstraße (Summer Street). Some drivers and residents complained to local officials. But because the project was a temporary and science-driven Reallabor, or real-world laboratory, politicians could push responsibility onto May-Beckmann and the scientists. “They’d say, ‘It’s just an experiment, let’s wait for the data,” he recalls.

    For half a year, Kolumbusstraße became a green space where children could play, residents could spend time and new forms of mobility were tested. The transformation was deliberately temporary, and after six months, the street returned to its previous state. But the evaluation produced a striking result: 66% of residents supported making the changes permanent. Whether and how to turn the experiment into a lasting transformation is now a decision for the City of Munich. [...]

    I'm guessing if I believe my imagination is real, it's not imagination anymore because then I'd be delusional instead. Is that what you had in mind?

  16. Comment on How to make digital footage looks convincingly like film, according to cinematographer Steve Yedlin in ~movies

    uaeaaie
    Link
    [...] [...] [...]

    [...] since the early days of digital, he’s also gained a reputation for his rigorous technical study of the science behind image creation.

    In April 2019, Yedlin released his scholarship’s latest fruit, the “Display Prep Demo.” An updated version of a video first released in 2015, the demo alternates between footage shot on 35mm film stock and an Arri Alexa, industry standards for film and digital, respectively. [...] when screened in theaters to an array of industry professionals, almost no one could tell the difference.

    [...]

    “People tend to bounce around between ‘it’s exactly one thing’ and ‘it’s a completely ineffable thing you can never touch,’” Yedlin says, “but it’s actually a bunch of things.” In a 10-year process that brought rigorous scientific study to a field full of vague opinion, Yedlin became the first person to analyze and isolate the four ingredients that, together, create the classic film look: halation, gate weave, grain, and color rendition. And he’s made algorithms for each one.

    [...]

    “The Last Jedi is the biggest display prep demo of all time,” Yedlin says. While the majority was shot on film, approximately 50% of it was actually digital. And no, the digital shots aren’t the ones you’d guess — because you can’t guess. “They’re mixed in every which way,” he says, for reasons as simple needing another angle on a shot and not having any more film cameras available. Each time, film and digital are cut together seamlessly, sometimes even as cutbacks to the same shots.

    [...]

    “To me, it’s exciting for filmmakers to better understand the elements,” Yedlin says. “Right now, for most filmmakers, if they see something happening at the edges [of an object], they would be hard-pressed to know whether it’s halation, or a lens, or a filter.” If you know the pieces of a look that you like, you have more chances to achieve it yourself. Or, he says, to create new looks no one has ever seen before.

    I've actually been curious about tarot reading. I once read an article (that I couldn't find now annoyingly) about how astrology and its elaborate mythology can serve as a shared language to help communicate information or feelings that you get on an instinctual level but don't have more explicit description for yet, which changed my mind as a "science-pilled" person. Whether we do or do not think of something as "real", the value it provides can still be.
