"Real-time graphics" is typically used in gaming to differentiate between pre-rendered content and content that is rendered on the fly. It's not related to a 1-1 time scale of the content it's displaying. So, my assumption here is that they mean it's actually being rendered as you are using it and at an acceptable framerate, as opposed to the need for it to be simulated, rendered, and played back as a video.

Henry Posner from B&H directly addressed this in a comment back in 2016: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12187917

Yep, went to CC, transferred to a school a great computer engineering program and saved a ton of money. My mental health got the best of me in high school and I almost definitely couldn't have gotten accepted anywhere if I hadn't gone the community route, so I am super happy it worked out the way it did.

Next January you should get an audio or video recording. I'd love to hear that!

I am definitely not a doctor. However, I have a friend diagnosed with aphantasia and this is almost exactly how she described it to me.

74gear[1] on YouTube is a 747 Captain. It's a great aviation channel in general if anyone is interested in that stuff. He had mentioned two things that really illustrated to me your point a while back:

A) Stuff breaks on planes. All the time. They are complex machines, but they typically have so many redundancies that unless there is a completely catastrophic failure, they are still perfectly safe to fly. An example: a starter is out in one of the engines, but there are four starters for an engine. Once the issue is known, if they can't fix it where they are currently at, they will do an empty flight (well, crew only) to the next maintenance hub and get it fixed. Before a plane even gets off the ground they have a checklist and do their best to determine if the plane is airworthy and safe to fly or not. If they feel the plane is unsafe, they can refuse to fly it. It is important to them to make sure the plane is safe to fly because:

B) They also don't want to die.

That last bit really hit hard for me for some reason, it's hilarious but at the same time eye opening. I think that I just never really thought of it in that way before. Maybe it's just me.
