gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-09-22 03:10:48

Jackson Pollock was a famous American painter best known for his abstract expressionism, including the “drip and splash” and the “all-over” style of painting (which look exactly like they sound). Now we finally know the chemical origin of the blue color he splattered onto his iconic Number 1A, 1948. Researchers investigated the vibrant pigment via laser spectroscopy, a technique scientists use to investigate matter at the atomic level. With this approach, they revealed it to be manganese blue,

It has been just over a month since 8Bitdo released its Pro 3 controller. While the new model is a great option, its predecessor shouldn't be kicked to the wayside — especially when it's on sale.

Learning Lens Blur Fields

Lens blur field shown in step 2 is from the dual pixels of a Pixel 4a. Abstract Optical blur is an inherent property of any lens system and is challenging to model in modern cameras because of their complex optical elements. To tackle this challenge, we introduce a high‑dimensional neural representation of blur—the lens blur field—and a practical method for acquisition.

Which colours dominate movie posters and why?

news.ycombinator.com Stephen Follows 2025-09-25 17:43:26

Before you’ve read the title or registered the actors, your brain has already clocked the palette and filed it against a lifetime of genre expectations. Over the past century, marketing teams have shifted from painterly illustration to photography and from saturated Technicolor hues to today’s more controlled, strategic colour use. I wanted to take a data-led look at colours on movie posters, so I gather

Felker-Martin, who wrote the latest iteration of DC Comics’ Red Hood series, said “thoughts and prayers you Nazi bitch” on Bluesky in response to the killing of Kirk, a right-wing influencer and Trump ally who was staunchly anti–trans rights. “Hope the bullet’s okay after touching Kirk,” she added.

Blue never made a comeback. I saw it as a banal, common color. After all, the sky is made of it, and the sky is everywhere. Then I realized
