Dear open source community,

We have officially run out of acronyms that use the letter O and have looped back around. The duplication is confusing.

Due to an increase in circumstances that could better be described as open-adjacent, please start using the term "Ajar" instead of "Open" where appropriate. This will also allow us to create new acronyms more creatively with less duplication while maintaining the pronounceable flexibility provided by a vowel.

I truly feel there is a need for a standardized calibration system to produce color images from satellites that are true to human color perception. This is absolute standard behavior for a DSLR or even your phone camera, but too often neglected in scientific imaging.

This is a copy of my thread on Twitter. Lots of discussion is happening over there already: https://twitter.com/stim3on/status/1681776551065530368

Holy _shit_ this paper, and the insight behind it.

You know how every receiver is also a transmitter, _well_: every text predictor is also text compressor, and vice-versa.

You can outperform massive neural networks running millions of parameters, with a few lines of python and a novel application of _gzip_.
