Mini: Tonemaps (2023)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-18 14:04:21

Good day. One of the first things you learn about shaders is that color values range from 0.0 to 1.0. This is known as 8-bit “unorm” color, because each channel has 256 color values, is unsigned (meaning no negatives) and normalized to the 0.0 to 1.0 range. Most of the time, we don’t need to think about this because 8-bits is enough for outputting colors to the screen. Sometimes, blending 8-bit colors is just not enough though.

Midcentury North American Restaurant Placemats

Today’s collection is a grab bag of midcentury North American restaurant placemats. Like so many past ephemera finds I’ve shared here, I bought these at Brimfield Flea this July from a vendor who had around 500 in a big plastic tub. I bought 25 for $75 (a steal!) but I did have to talk myself out of asking how much it would be for the whole box. Most of these date from the late 1940s through the ’50s, when the postwar boom and expanding highway system put long-distance vacations within reach fo

Scientists Identify Rare Blue Pigment in Iconic Jackson Pollock Painting—But It’s Now Off-Limits

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-09-26 07:10:48

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,

Biotech Startup Claims It’s Getting Closer to ‘Resurrecting’ the Extinct Dodo

Which colours dominate movie posters and why?

Colour is one of the quickest ways a poster can tell you what kind of film it’s selling. 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.

But this year, it never arrived. “It came as a surprise,” said Ralf Schiebel, a paleoceanographer at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry who studies the region. “We’ve never seen something like this before.” The blob is as much as 10 degrees Celsius colder than the surface water.
