Devex tooling is so much better in web, you can ship much faster, and speed to market matters more than making a native app. Apple dev tooling and build speed sucks a ton in comparison, and don't get started with windows

This is the reason. When an app changes so often, across different platforms, you don't want to support people lagging behind on old versions.

I'm not saying native is better or worse, but this will be why.


CRI is a pretty bad rating system. They are showing the full spectrum graphs which is what you'd want anyway. Spectral Similarity Index (SSI) is the better number


Sure, but I don't see them mention what they're actually using for LEDs at all. They mention a "colour fidelity index" but I'd expect a manufacturer part number or something so I can pull the datasheet.

Funny enough, the best evidence for this study is that they should probably move somewhere with more sunlight if they can't spell "color" right... /s


They are not using an index much, they are showing you actual spectral graphs. Ask an AI to understand how that is the actual info you'd want.


Is "ask an AI" the new rtfm?


You can also look at all the papers it's citing too...


You can't buy heat lamps? They are even more infrared and last longer.

Also LED lighting can have infrared, have a significantly more smoother spectrum curve and still last +20k hours without burnout. The cheaper bulb spectra that they show is a blue led + phosphor coating, but there are infrared LEDs, UV leds, and more. You can make quite the convincing sun simulation, even better than any incandescent bulb, but there is almost no demand for UV + Infrared super full spectrum lighting unfortunately. Only movie & theater lights come close.


>LED lighting can have infrared, have a significantly more smoother spectrum curve and still last +20k hours without burnout

Do you have a link to a bulb that you can purchase meeting all these criteria? The only one I'm aware of was this obscure "StarLike" that was never actually sold in bulk. LEDs can be made good in theory sure, but in practice they are all terrible in light quality compared to a standard incandescent.

You would need to see the spectra of the various LEDs available and create a mix along with phosphor mixes. The closest thing is something like a BLAIR-CG light engine from aputure where they have something like 9 different colors of LEDs that mix together, but they don't put any infrared leds in them because they are for movies and they don't put any UVB or proper UVA leds. But there are infrared, UVA & UVB LEDs that you could apply the same kind of engineering principle to make something that closely follows the sun spectra.

No, you can't buy them as bulbs. The closest thing is those red light therapy panels that include them.


Actually I looked again at YujiLED offerings, and they now have a standard A19 bulb that outputs NIR.

You're paying through the nose though, but it finally exists now.


Eventually it will make everyone say that videos are fake because nobody trusts videos anymore. We will ironically be back to something like the 40s where security cameras didn't exist and photography was rare and relatively expensive. A strange kind of privacy.


IMO I think the better solution is to make a full feature smartphone an 18+ item, much like beer. If you are under 18 you only get a very limited 'call mom' phone with no video camera, chat limited to your family, maps to find your way home with and an otherwise very restricted set of apps. Police can take contraband phones from teens much like they can take contraband beer. They would have a distinct design so the types are identifiable.

No identity checking system needed for using the general internet as a result.

You can still have a family ipad, TV, xbox, switch, laptop, school chromebook, large clunky semi-pro digital camera for movie club, a separate dedicated audio recorder, etc but the key is to stop gossip networks with video recordings / snapchat and make the digital experience similar to what millenials grew up with, the last generation who didn't get a huge spike in anxiety and depression.

Yes many teens will still get around it, but the idea is to add a lot of friction so you stop the network effects that are causing this in the first place.


I play a lot of dota 2 and never really notice anything that is obvious cheat wise. IMO league would probably be fine to do valve level anti cheat, it's even a less twitchy of a game than dota.

FPSs can just say 'the console is the competitive ranked' machine, add mouse + keyboard support and call it a day. But in those games cheaters can really ruin things with aimbots, so maybe it is necessary for the ecosystem, I dunno.

Nobody plays RTSs competitively anymore and low-twitch MMOs need better data hiding for what they send clients so 'cheating' is not relevant.

We are at the point where camera + modded input devices are cheap and easy enough I dunno if anti-cheat matters anymore.


You have a workplace that insists you are working from your home while you travel.

It has limits, like the amazon hardware keypress thingy with north korea showed recently, but unless your working at superbigtech or defense contractor it would probably work.


I'd pay $30 for the software alone that actually works.
