I'm a colorist and it absolutely does effect color. Every telecine is different and will create a different looking scan. Telecine operators will do a one light pass to try and compensate but any scan needs to be adjusted to achieve what the artist's original vision was.

This extreme naivete is exactly what the parent comment's story is addressing.

A single file isn't 100TB - an entire production of OCF is ~200TB. A single take is typically 10-200GB depending on a variety of factors.

I'm a film colorist and have done the film print out method plenty of times.

You don't need to print to film to dither and reduce banding, it's trivial to add grain to achieve the same (either digitally or via film grain scans which are overlayed).

The film outs are just a different method of getting a film tone, curve, and grain - though honestly I've done some where people were unable to identify which was the digital master and which was the post film out version. Much of the time it's just an ego boost for the director and dp and a competent colorist can easily recreate it. That said, it's fun to do and means less work on my end so I don't discourage it.

Conscripts explicitly don't serve in Ukraine. The article even notes that.

This was trained to be run at FP8 with no quality loss.

The best part of caving as a sport and science is that you can find and explore virgin systems here on Earth still.

Bitwarden has a separate 2fa app so your totp codes aren't in the same password vault (though you can do that, but shouldn't).

This has been Adobe Firefly's value proposition for months now. It works fine and is already being utilized in professional workflows with the blessing of lawyers.

That sounds actively harmful. Often we want story boards to be less specific so as not to have some non artist decision maker ask why it doesn't look like the storyboard.

And when we want it to match exactly in an animatic or whatever, it needs to be far more precise than this, matching real locations etc.

Ghost does all that.

If someone needs blood transfusions they have larger concerns than PFAS (that's likely at a similar baseline anyway).
