@JP Tudor, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Million_Dollar_Listing_New_York

A good realtor never passes up an opportunity for free publicity on a listing, so lying to get in the door seems more like a publicity stunt to get her work noticed rather than to get access.

@chadley_chad, M1 blew away expectations and even if the M2 is simply a scale-out of the M1 in terms of additional cores and memory support it will be a very compelling processor.

@DualSystemGuy, AMD is a much bigger threat to Intel than Apple is to AMD. Intel's enterprise chip division still prints billions in profits and AMD is becoming quite compelling in that space....

Apple and TSMC may have a technology lead at the moment but Intel is working on 10nm and 7nm chips that will be ready any decade now.

@s1oth1ovechunk, The child photo is listed in the the blog entry's discussion of 1/2 second exposures, so it's not clear why it wouldn't apply here. And there can be deep shadows in many photos...

The tradeoff between additional read noise from longer stacking sequences vs shorter sequences with a long exposure but motion blur is an interesting one. Merging the long-exposure shot involves...

You can set the shutter to fully mechanical, which shouldn't induce any noticeable vibration blur at long exposures. Manual page: https://onlinemanual.nikonimglib.com/z7II_z6II/en/09_menu_guide_05_ ...

Or ISNO :-)

Pixel shifting ameliorates it, but of course isn't appropriate in situations with movement. This post compares aliasing of a normal vs pixel-shifted raw: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/63074496

I dug up an old Dpreview post from 1835:

"Just got my new camera. It's been raining all day so I haven't been able to take it out yet for a proper test. In the meantime here's a 'cat' photo I took...

It runs under Windows and Mac. The DNG converter is not available for Linux but if the raws are pre-converted to DNG then my logic should work under Linux as well, although I haven't gotten around ...

I recently published an open-source raw image stacker that will automatically find sets of raw images to combine and generate a combined image as a raw DNG. It currently supports median and mean ...

@pwilly, Most modern-complied "legacy" code don't make use of the x86's higher-order CISC instructions. Intel has been advising against use of those instructions for some time. So most of the x86...

@pwilly, While the ARM instruction set has more elemental operations than higher-order CISC architectures, the instruction mnemonics it has are actually more amenable to real-world optimization of...

@Rickard Hansson, Thanks. I thought I was reading the other article about the iMac, so what I wrote doesn't apply to the iPad. No recompiling is necessary for iOS apps.

To run natively the apps only need to be recompiled, which means running the source code through a program that generates instructions that run natively on the M1.

You can also run existing apps...

I recently had to experiment with pixel binning for a project I'm working on. I thought I'd post in case anyone has interest. I added a module to my Octave Raw Tools framework that does 2x2 pixel ...

Ethernet port in the power brick is quite clever.

Edges and corners are incredibly sharp @ f/1.8 on these 50MP A1 samples.
