Oklab is a great color space that does what you expect[0] much better than HSL/HSV.

Something that's important to bear in mind when displaying raw images like that is it's not so much that raw images need to be processed to look good intrinsically. It's much more that they need to be processed to be in the form displays expect. Gamma correction is only needed because displays expect gamma corrected images and they automatically try to undo the correction.
Admissions manipulation games are very common. Another tactic is for high school students to have their startup company “acquired” by their parents’ friends company, where the acquisition price is some token amount in exchange for hiring the kid for an internship.
It can be really hard to judge these situations without getting the person in a 1:1 interview. Some times you meet someone with an extraordinary high school claim who can talk your ear off with impressive detail and deep understanding. Other times you start talking to someone and realize they don’t even understand their own topic beyond surface level understanding necessary for talking to a newspaper journalist.
With a claim like this, I’d be looking for interviews or online discussions. Usually the young people who are actually accomplishing amazing things are super excited to talk to the world about it. If anyone can find this person engaging in online forums or posting about progress on the build up, that lend a lot of weight to the claim.
it went far beyond those 'research paper because I have a good dad' or 'I had a few startups and some even got acquired thanks to my dad's friend'. The math competitions hosted by MAA, the CS Olympiads called usaco,etc are all full of cheating these days for a better college application. People will do whatever it takes to cut in line now.
They're not. For some odd reason, the comments on this post are full of bitter people who cannot possibly fathom that brilliant young people not only exist, but also achieve amazing things on their own merits.

As opposed to you, who's up and down the thread making unsubstantiated claims and engaging in emotional manipulation to try to discredit (without evidence, I might add) the idea that there's any cheating or subversion going on whatsoever.
The people you're responding to are making far better points than you are.
just google for 'maa math cheating', 'usaco cheating',etc.
there are official statements somewhere that you can probably dig out too.
people were selling the answers before the test for $5 on discord.
my kids are taking these exams, and it saddens/discourages them so much as their classmates are bragging about those $5 answers and got super high scores.
it's a public scandal, just that the media paid no attentions, so far.
This isn’t evidence but this was a well known issue even in the 90s and 00s. If you were a judge at high school science fair competitions (or a parent kid for that matter) you could easily tell which projects were actually done by adults. The complexity of the project, the equipment it would need, and the displays would give it away.
Currently that feature is unsupported or I just can't figure out how to do it. With the latest compiler version 0.14 any .typ file I try to compile will incur warnings about skipping the equations (skipping the main reason I'd want to compile a Typst file to HTML...).
As per their GitHub they haven't included MathJax or KaTeX support yet as they were more focused on semantic and structural accuracy of HTML output with this release.
I've encountered this several times and even though I found it frustrating it didn't occur to me it could be something that could/should be fixed. You're always going to have some quirks if you want a syntax without too much parentheses right?
I've been really pleased with Typst so far - fast rendering, less verbose than (La)TeX in many ways (backslashes hurt now!) and unicode/emoji support really seals the deal. (Disclaimer: only using for semi-formal slides and notes, not for papers and important presentations)
Pivot tables rock! I wouldn't be surprised if they were studied mathematically and proven to be somewhat capable of everything you might want to do in the context of tabular data processing.
