If privacy matters to you, you should at least be using a JavaScript blocker/whitelister such as NoScript. With this, the entire page is readable and there is no popup; no first-party cookies are added as far as I can tell (and I have Firefox configured to block all cross-site cookies, which doesn't break this page); and the YouTube video is replaced with YouTube's "Error 153" placeholder with a direct link to the video.

Ffs, stop with the gatekeeping please. Yes, privacy matters to me. Nah, not doing all that. Instead, I reported them to uoou.gov.cz/en for this gross violation of GDPR.

It is not at all "gatekeeping" to point out simple actions you can take (and it really is simple) that are consistent with your stated goals.

You can read the entire article without that, it explains everything really well.

It’s not like many companies in the world where the video IS the article and they just assume no one reads.

The article looks LLM-ey, which was really off putting for otherwise interesting content.

"If the model predicts wrong on your filaments, that’s a data problem, not a model problem. We need more measurements."

…

"… there’s a real path to a proper perceptual colorspace model in the spirit of Mixbox or Spectral.js – predictions that are correct by construction across the full ratio space, not patches on residuals. None of this is hard. The math exists. It’s a data problem."

…

"Not in some distant future. Now. The hardware exists. The slicers exist. The filaments exist."

At least they give you a choice

*are mandated by law to give you a choice
