It's honestly a bit surprising how much more complex image analysis gets once you're in the regime of images too big to fit in memory.
All of the solutions you do (use zarr! Split the image!) come with a whole host of issues that you've never had to think about until you run into them.

Brilliant from the journalist. The most on-the-ropes I’ve ever seen Farage. His usual bluster tactic didn’t work. His uttering of ‘well, you wouldn’t’ when the journalist said ‘I don’t quite know what you mean’ was genuinely pathetic.
