Interesting - if I understand correctly, you're saying that you didn't notice for a month that no color balance was happening. Then perhaps an even simpler experiment preliminary experiment could be done to just see how well subjects are able to guess if a screen has been color balanced at night. If most people can't tell most of the time, then that simplifies doing an efficacy experiment.
- gwern 11y agoNot quite. The reddening is blatant, so if someone had asked me on any particular day if Redshift was on or not, I could always correctly answer. But it was randomized on a daily basis, so it is possible, even probable, for occasional long sequences like 100001 to happen where the shifting was on or off for multiple days in a row. What I'm saying is that I turned out to be paying so little attention to whether the shifting was on or off, certain that if it was off on a particular day that just meant the experiment was going as planned, that I didn't notice even 20+ days of a single setting.
