    What is your argument? Android is one of the most successful software projects of all time. It seems easily monetizable.

    First put five people from the same company in a room with an adjustable thermostat and see what happens.

    If there is a 'god equation' it will almost certainly include a+b=c because we use it all the time to describe "diverse biological systems with vast implementation constraints". Th…

    Most people cannot hold themselves (or their loved ones) accountable because we love ourselves and accept any excuse at all. This is the main appeal of personal trainers imo, to te…

    There are bosons that carry charges and/or mass like the weak bosons and the gluons. There is nothing in principle about bosons that would make them incapable of building logic gat…

    A myopic defocus screen effect. Some gradient descent may be used to approximate a difficult mathematical function, but not AI in any meaningful way.

    Applying multiple svg filters on top of each other in the needed order resulted in Firefox dropping the filters completely. I filed a bug for Firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/…

    I will submit a request for exception/deeper review to the vendor that flagged the exe. I can also offer a full refund and reversal of the sale if you can not make use of the softw…

    Thank you, 1. As long as the myopia is progressing there is an opportunity to slow that and avoid complications of high myopia. While screen altering may in principle go beyond the…

    If you induce myopic defocus by plus lenses you create an urge to move the screen closer, which removes the effect. We need to achieve the right defocus on the retina. Wheres with …

    Most optical properties of myopic defocus can be simulated on screen. Since the processing is on the retina, screen altering can be effective. Android app is in progress.

    Thank you for the kind words. Smart phones are in progress, yes. Apple will possibly not like it as it alters the look, but we will try and see.

    Last summer there was an Ask HN[1] about a Nature article that said bluring the blue and green color channels on screen may be good against early myopia development. The OP wanted …

    I mean, currently you have to wait for a human to summarize a book, before you can read an llm rephrasing of that summary. Or you have to buy the book and pass it to the llm employ…

    Most importantly due to the context length not being long enough. If the context length was long enough, it is possible that they could do it with clever training. I only trained m…

    Current LLMs can not summarize books even if they are in their training set. It is only possible if the training set also includes human summaries.
