Correct, just as (taking an example from visual sense) there are more colours in CMYK than in VGA.
(16.7 million versus 256 respectively).
Probably many other examples available, but it's one way to help people think about it perhaps?

Outlook - For the love of smell - BBC Sounds Scientist Luca Turin found romance and a biological mystery via his obsession with scent

"The old-school Substacker: Luca Turin"

"Anyone can make the first five minutes of a fragrance, but the next three hours? Tricky."

Great article today in FT's HTSI lifestyle magazine. Words by Kate Finnigan, featuring photos by Joshua Tarn.

Dear @lucaturin.bsky.social How do you feel about being referred to as "The old-school Substacker"?

Just reading Kate Finnigan's excellent piece in Financial Times today.

It still happens y'know. Remember to lavish some praise on them, it does wonders for motivation when the next tough assignment is given.

@mikebutcher.bsky.social With today's announcement of change of sovereignty of Chagos incl Diago Garcia where is that going to leave all the tech firms who use the .io domain? Do you have any visibity on this yet Mike? Literally thousands and thousands of tech firms could be impacted.

Incredible to think that one part of the human #brain is exposed to the open air.

It's called the olfactory epithileum.

Without it, there is no sense of smell at all.

Just think about that.

A huge thank you to our new followers today and this week.

Your interest in the work of #OlfaLabs is greatly appreciated.
