Oh cool, thanks. So is this like an anti-aliasing joke or something? Like "if you discretize a small number of pixels, Rick Astley will appear pixelated, but if you interpolate between them, the image will appear clearer?"

Not quite, I think it means the source material is continuous instead of discrete. No interpolation.

But honestly at this point we're reading too much into it.

Oh that makes sense. It's hard to get straight what the interpretation should be though because of course the higher-res image is also discrete, just more pixels.

And like... Also why Rick Astley? I'm okay with "why not?" as the explanation there, but I feel like I'm missing something else there too.

But honestly at this point we're reading too much into it.

Yes yes overanalyzing math memes is how I'm compensating for a poor high school experience.
