    I am worried that this might happen to websites soon. If you want your website to be openable on Apple devices, you would have to pay Apple a fee each month. If you want your websi…

    I think the screen resolution is also fingerprintable. That is why a browser should resize your window to a random size each time you visit a website.

    Instead of "AI cannot" you should always say "current AI cannot".

    Were you able to make it work? It never works in my case.

    "sixty thousand tonnes of CO2-equivalent emissions" ? Is that what 0.0000001% of the worlds population produces in one day?

    I am just saying that the colorization was needed in 1995, when 90% of people had black-and-white childhood photos. But today, only 1% of people has black-and-white childhood photo…

    That is not a tiny screen, it has over 7 thousand pixels. I think you will not be able to read 5x5 pixel letters on that display (a letter would be about 1 mm tall).

    Did you colorize grayscale photos of your grandmothers wedding? Seeing that a "neat tool" exists and using that "neat tool" are two diffrent things. Google Glass was neat, too.

    Grayscale cameras are not that much cheaper than color cameras. And if you decided to use a grayscale camera on purpose, you probably do not care about the color information (which…

    If you know a person who is 70 years old, they were 20 in 1975 - color photos existed back then. Every grayscale photo of someone famous has already been colorized during the past …

    Too bad "tiny screens" pretty much do not exist anymore. Screens with hundreds of pixels on each side are very cheap already. It reminds me people who research "colorizing grayscal…

    They should have standardized 3 to 5 battery sizes (and their connectors, voltages, etc.), so that the same battery could be used across many different devices, which would bring d…

    In 2012, I created IvanK.js - a Javascript library with the "Flash API" for quickly remaking ActionScript 3 games into the web environment. But it required WebGL, which as not very…

    It should be enough to make it mandatory for banks to let people send money to each other for free, even abroad (within the EU). Then, at the shop, you can simply pay by making a b…

    Can anybody prove that the essay and the abstract was not written by the AI, using 20 to 50 words as a prompt?

    Many non-programmers think that programming languages get outdated, just like operating systems or computer hardware, or even some software (old algorithms replaced by better algor…

    You chose to do it, so it means it was better to you than all other choices. Why would you still do it otherwise? If your goal is to suffer as much as possible, it does not matter.…

    It makes no sense what you say. If the experience with A was really worse than with B, people would stay with B.

    You choose to spend your time on a place A instead of the place B, it means that the place A is better than the place B. Why else would you do it, if B was better? It is a simple l…
