I'd love some sort of "so what?" explainer in the README.

I imagine that would be found in the associated paper, but I’m not sure if it’s been published yet. I’m having trouble finding it.

Parent Paper: Baetzel, J. (2026). Statistical Characterization of Inter-Channel Redundancy Structure in the Kodak Lossless True Color Image Suite. Per-Image Principal Component Decomposition of PCD0992.

Or an abstract actually stating a conclusion versus the editorialized title in the HN post.

Definitely. This breaks HN guidelines for the title.

I don’t know where you read to find the conclusion that the editorialized title claims.

What is “curation” anyway? No kidding, Kodak curated the collection. The HN title is either unsubstantiated or useless.
