When I was working on the responsive image client hints, we talked about fingerprinting as an abstract threat.. it’s really something to read through a thorough breakdown of a big, real example: browsergate.eu/how-it-works/

The concept of a "picture element" dates to the earliest days of television, for example as "Bildpunkt" (the German word for pixel, literally 'picture point') in the 1888 German patent of Paul Nipkow. According to various etymologies, the earliest publication of the term picture element itself was in Wireless World magazine in 1927, though it had been used earlier in various U.S. patents filed as early as 1911.
I'm trying to think of anything as old and fundamental to digital imaging as the 1931 color matching functions. Maybe the idea of a "pixel"?
Color matching functions are mathematical representations of the sensitivity of the human eye to visible light, characterizing how humans perceive color. Apple has developed Apple CMF 2026 to address the limitations of the CIE 1931 CMF, and Studio Display XDR is the first Apple display to support it. Apple CMF 2026 represents a fundamental improvement in how displays are measured and calibrated, addressing systematic appearance mismatches that have persisted throughout the industry. Apple is engaged in standardization efforts through the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) to develop and define an industry-wide standard, improving visual consistency regardless of which manufacturer's display a customer is viewing.
'Twas a time when there was nothing about the lower-levels of the web stack that Google couldn't re-think and push to the whole industry. This is the Apple-iest possible version of that. Hope it's more QUIC than AMP. Or maybe it's just tiny tweaks? I'm so curious! www.apple.com/studio-displ...

Scan from an old typeset paper. It reads, Explanation ov a New Formula for Interpolation. By T. B. Sprague, M.A., Manager ov the Scottish Equitable Life Assurance Society. When a series ov quantitys proceed by a regular law, ther is no difficulty in interpolating between each ajacent two ov them any number ov terms with any desired degree ov accuracy.
Chart showing the results of my implementation. We see some black points with random-ish y values but evenly spaced along the x axis, joined by different colors of line. The lines all connect their two points smoothly before curving up and down to positive/negative infinity.
Implementing some old math... you know the math’s good when the paper describing it opens like the Declaration of Independence *and* they didn't know how to spell.
It heard you perform better that way.

A fun thing about the OKLCH color space is that it's easy to specify colors that are impossible to see or create. “Imaginary” colors; purely mathematical constructs that don't represent anything about the human experience of vision. Fun! observablehq.com/d/af510b6715...

Screenshot of the bsky.app posting interface. I am trying to post a reply that says "surely you have considered the Very Tall Image". But there's an error: "Failed to execute createImageData on CanvasRenderingContext2D: the source width is zero or not a number.
bsky.app won't let me post a 65,500-pixel-tall PNG, apparently, because bsky.app is a cop.
