> I'm sure this algorithm works well for the median person on the internet, but it definitely does not work for me

I see this sentiment expressed a lot regarding a variety of ways the internet has been enshittified. Are we really sure the median person would prefer this to better content if they were presented with an alternative?

And even if they would - what are the ethics of knowingly feeding slop to the masses?

Wouldn’t cheaper memory make it easier to bring compute out of data centers and onto consumer hardware?

Agreed! At the moment I have all the tech I really need. I could think up a million interesting side-projects that AI might help come to fruition. However, in reality I have much more banal concerns - like whether I'll still be able to make a decent living using my skills; and whether I'll ever be able to start a family and own a home.

Perhaps this would be far more exciting if I were younger. But right now I'm just trying to figure out if I can survive.

If you want a nice take on what that would be like for humans - Greg Egan has an interesting short story called “Seventh Sight” about people bio hacking themselves to gain expanded spectral perception. It’s in his Instantiation Anthology.

It's certainly interesting that someone who founded Onavo would be made VP of "Trust & Safety"

Do you have evidence of that?

> The human eye is most sensitive to green light, so that channel effectively carries the majority of the luminance (brightness/detail) data

How does this affect luminance perception for deuteranopes? (Since their color blindness is caused by a deficiency of the cones that detect green wavelengths)

Does this mean that we'll start to see SATA replaced with faster interfaces in the future? Something like U.2/U.3 that's currently available to the enterprise?

In the report they tested samples of the part and found that they actually had glass transition temperatures of 52.8°C, and 54.0°C... so sounds like the owner fell victim to false advertising.
