If we all sit back and lament that it’s inevitable surely it could happen.

I don't have severe myopia and I'm fine with no glasses for now. The optometrist detected .5 correction needed but advised me to not go for it for the reason I mentioned. I think they are more qualified to give this advice than so

You're saying that my eyes straining going away from reduced blue light is placebo? I can feel it right away and it gets worse in minutes, time and time again. As soon as I remove blue light the strain is gone. Honestly, I don't c

I meant that once you decide to wear prescription optics you can’t go back to not wearing them, of course excluding eye surgery. In my case I could stick to good enough vision and luckily 20 years later Im still not wearing glasses. My ma

I stopped using Facebook for a while but I agree that their marketplace used to be pretty good for a while, that until it started to be spammed with scams. It became really unusable IMO.

It's not just powerless, I see that Republicans seem to not care a yota about this type of fraud.

Absolutely and this is something that can be tested rather easily. If blue filters aren't immediately helpful to eye strain then they probably don't work for you but if they are they probably do work for you.

I confirm that this helps me as well. Quite often I don't have any fancy filter, I'm permanently setting display/monitor to low temperature and my eyes/vision couldn't be happier. I don't even need darkmode, re

LLMs don’t love anything, they just fall into statistical patterns and what you observe here is likely due to the data it was trained on.

For now it's just a gadget with no real world function, just an early adopter toy. And a very expensive one by my abilities. But it feels like humanoid robots are inching along on the horizon, in the near future they'd likely be a

This sounds interesting but I'm not sure what niches it could cover. What can a 1B parameter LLM be used for?

Oh, poor desperate Microsoft. No amount of bug fixing is going to fix Microsoft. Now that they've embarked on the LLM journey they're not going to know what's going to hit them next.

It's the low cost of labor in addition to lack of environmental regulation that made China a success story. I'm sure the competition helps too but it's not main driver

It's still on you to pick what the LLMs regurgitate. If you don't have a style or taste you will simply make choices that would give you away. And if you already have your own taste and style LLMs don't have much to offer in

This was long overdue. I hope killing other dark patterns that feast on attention or hunt on flaws in human psychology follow. However, my only concern is how this will be taken care of. I hope they learned something from the GDPR fiasco.
