That should work as a brute-force method. You could simulate lighting conditions by measuring the reflected spectrum of different materials and multiplying with the spectrum of a light source.
Check out the CIE XYZ color space and its color matching functions. It's the standard for defining/converting color spaces and calibrating displays for accurate color matching. It only models human perception, and contains colors that are physically impossible to reproduce.
At a glance the repo feels like a meticulous forensic investigation, but I couldn't find any photographs or other information about the alleged drone capture and where all this information is actually sourced from.
I really like your analogy as-is, but LLMs aren't reliable power tools. Asking for external help requires good communication and can be overkill for small tasks.
Hiring a team of subcontractors carries risks unless you babysit the whole project.
Dan, your HN comments are a collection of beautiful essays that is becoming a reference library for healthy discourse. I think it deserves a dedicated website.
The topic of the demo is just ..odd: it's negative in its nature, difficult to understand (is there a message or a joke in there?), the animation isn't aesthetically pleasing either.
The conclusion conflicts oddly with the author's arguments and interests. Attributing LLM usage would actually help the author avoid articles even touched by LLMs, but they indirectly admit being haphazardly dismissive.
Their arguments are mostly addressed by proper, clear attribution. "My sister helped with my homework essay" deserves distrust withour further clarification.
Comparing LLM usage to lying is a fun perspective, but most of the lying happens in attribution. Their moral against lying also seems silly.
