Commission on Human Medicines (CHM) had published independent expert advice that there was “currently an unacceptable safety risk in the continued prescription of puberty blockers to children”.
I imagine in case of GPU design, there should be a bunch of tests for image correctness at some point, which would require pixel perfect reproduction to pass.
But it's plausible that tests were running incorrect math too.
"It's a bit technical," begins Birdwell, "but the simple version is that graphics cards at the time always stored RGB textures and even displayed everything as non linear intensities, meaning that an 8 bit RGB value of 128 encodes a pixel that's about 22% as bright as a value of 255, but the graphics hardware was doing lighting calculations as though everything was linear.
Jesus Christ, I knew this was a problem with image editing software back then, but I never knew, that GPU manufacturers fucked it up as well. How did this happen?
Something the EU could also have done but refused to
But they did - there were massive subsidy programs, that ultimately were so successful, that were phased out due to financial stress they put on the budget
