A lot of bitching about Microsoft here, for something Claude has been doing forever. I have a git hook that rejects any commit containing the line Co-authored by Claude
If Frank Sinatra had Ai he woulnt have had to perform any of that slop by Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Kurt Weill, Rodgers & Hammerstein and other composers no one cares about
Blender's limited support for the Universal Scene Description format is an immediate showstopper for most medium size to large studios.
There are far less working VistaVision cameras than 70mm. It wasnt used at all, or just for shooting vfx, for 50 years until recently
Stubborn old directors like Christopher Nolan, Quentin Tarantino, Steven Spielberg, Paul Thomas Anderson, Martin Scorcese... https://www.kodak.com/en/motion/page/shot-on-film/ Films are mostly post processed digitally -…
Yeah, i use online LightRoom for checking images in the darkroom actually, but for serious use, the old desktop app is still king. There are alternatives, like the excellent Capture One, but none available on Linux. I…
Would have switched years ago if it wasn't for Adobe. Open source equivalents to Photoshop and Lightroom are NOT viable alternatives
"It has rendered Maya nearly obsolete" Wow, that is great news. I guess its support for Pixar USD is equal to Maya and Houdini then, so all the big studios can finally switch
Gimp is NOT a good image editor for someone who uses Photoshop professionally. This idiotic claim keeps coming up, year after year, along with suggestions for opensource replacements for InDesign, Illustrator, LightRoom…
Light green text on light brown background is pretty ridiculous. I gave up after 30 seconds
Funny how usage of the the word moat simply exploded here on HN a few weeks ago.
Except if you mount an old, so called pre AI lens, on certain Nikons, you will have to disassemble the camera to get it off. Many modern Nikons can't autofocus older AF lenses due to not having a motor. And many AF film…
Kind of Blue was smashed out in two sessions. A Love Supreme in one
And flying cars
The Eiffel Tower isnt copyrighted, obviously, but the 1985 light design at night is, so you may need permission to use photos of it commercially
The older Standard 8 format used 16 frames per second. Super 8 is 18 or 24 fps
"A bunch of movies" you say. If you want to talk insane ambition and vision, technically groundbreaking and giant scale filmmaking that was so far ahead of its time it took decades to be recognised, Abel Gance's 1927…
Removed for copyright reasons, it says. Theres also a 1950s puppet film version directed by Jiri Trnka
The Moomin books by Tove Jansson
Nikon d850, their top model and one of the best slr's ever made came out in 2017. My most used digital camera is a Canon 5d from 2005, I prefer it over my much newer Fuji XT3 most of the time because of its colors. (And…

My kid was obsessed with the 1930s Disney cartoons, including the black and white Mickeys, from age 2 to 5.
While a lot of scanners advertise crazy high resolutions, this is often just marketing mumbo jumbo. They only resolve details at half or a quarter of the claimed resolution. See www.filmscanner.info for tests of the…
This simply isnt true. A DSLR with a sharp macro lens is a lot better than a flatbed. A dedicated filmscanner like those made by Nikon and Minolta 15-20 years ago, is very slow, but the quality is even higher
