scoot

Pleased to meet someone else who suffers from "visual snow". I'm fortunate in that like my tinnitus, I'm only acutely aware of it when I'm reminded of it, or, less frequently, when it's more pronounced.

You're quite correct that our "reality" is in part constructed. The Flashed Face Distortion Effect [0][1] (wherein faces in the peripheral vision appear distorted due the the brain filling in the missing information with what was there previously) is just one example.

That isn't how trademarks work. There can be multiple business with the same name, as long as they operate in a different field. Case in point, Apple Computer had to pay for the rights to The Beatles label Apple Music only when they entered the music industry (not that they didn't try to contest it!)

Copyright is something different entirely!

> I used per-account email [addresses] with alias services

I do too (anything@mysubdomain.example.com), but but online services collude with data brokers to share so much information [0] that I don't doubt that many of these "separate" profiles have been aggregated.

Unfortunately the services that supposedly offer to have your personal data removed from data brokers don't seem to support aliasing, so no straightforward way to either find out or have the data removed.

While we're on the subject, if you brush after meals, you're doing it wrong.

Brush first thing in the morning (before your first meal/drink, other than water), and last thing at night (well after your last meal).

Plaque acid is at its lowest, so this approach results in the least damage to enamel from brushing. (Amongst other reasons.)

For a similar reason, only have a thorough brush in the morning, and a mild brush in the evening.

Or you could, you know, read the article before commenting to see the limited scope of this integration?

Anyway, Google has already integrated Gemini into Sheets, and recently added direct spreadsheet editing capability so your comment was disproven before you even wrote it

/out of touch/out of reach/ ?

Got it! Thanks for clarifying

Said by someone who hasn't been to the less affluent parts of London, I suspect.

Laudable, or laughable? I only ask because "laudable" didn't quite seem to fit with most of the examples you gave.

Where is this quote from? I couldn't see it in the article.

If true, wouldn't that simply lead to wanted suspects simply avoiding the cameras, meaning innocent people who aren't monitoring these notifications to have their faces and locations captured, while criminals avoid it?

I haven't seen anything that mentions that trademarks are business classification specific. See Apple Corporation (the computer company) vs. Apple Corp (The Beatles holding company) for example.

Deepki is in a very different space to Deepkit (Although the former is a terrible brand name, and the latter sounds more related to deep learning).

Does an OSS project that doesn't trade have a classification? I have no idea.

Love it. Going to use that with non-OpenAI LLMs until they catch up.

Or “decimated”’to mean “practically destroyed” when it means the opposite…

I'm pretty sure this has been debunked as an online myth, and no such documentary exists. If you can show otherwise, I'd love to watch it

I'm pretty sure that got debunked as a handful of overfitted examples that fall apart as soon as you leave the area that was 3D recorded. Google's new tech is on another level entirely.

That seems very expensive for assisted suicide

Yes, breaking a single sentence in two, hence beginning a sentence with "E.g.". At least stylistically if not grammatically incorrect.

Where does Perplexity sit in this race? I was aware of their "deep research" first, but that doesn't mean it was.

They've recently removed (limited) use of it from the free plan, so I guess it was costing more than they were making from paid subscribers

"Soon" being tomorrow, next week, next month? Just stating the obvious, but taking 30 minutes to do it now while you have traction on HN seems like a no-brainer.

And I'm not surprised to see "e.g." being used incorrectly. ;)

Fortunately neither of these is likely to cause an aviation incident or accident.

Both result in a crash – the first due to pilot error, the second due to mechanical failure.

> We determined that the probable cause of this accident was the in-flight separation of the left MED plug

I find this very strangely worded. It was an "incident", not an "accident"; and "the in-flight separation of the left MED plug" was the incident, not the cause of a non-existent accident.

The actual cause of the incident (as determined by the NTSB) is what follows all that unnecessary verbage.

> Most of my students struggle to organise or bookmark the hundreds of pages they've created using ChatGPT

I'm struggling to imagine how you could possibly know this (sounds like projection to me), but assuming it's true, please share the strategies that the minority of your students use to manage this.

> there’s no real sense of “this is my project on climate change” or “this is the story I’m working on.” It’s just one long chat thread

perplexity.ai (a meta-ai) partly solves that problem by at least allowing you to group chats in "Spaces" (effectively folders). It lacks some of the other features you suggested though.

I'm imagining the application of text adventures specifically designed for second language learning. Quite the possibilities!

"That's not a verb I recognise." (So. Many. Times!)

Sorry, but that isn't a verb recognition problem, it's a comprehension problem. I agree with the downvoted poster that LLM integration would significantly improve the end user experience. However the LLM should not be arbiter of game state (as they suggested), but simply the translator that ensures that the players instructions are understood by the game.

Ouch, ok, yes, point taken...

And on social media. Maybe I'm being too literal and pedantic, but it bugs me that they say "nobody" can read your messages. What's the point of using it if even the recipient can't read them (or the sender for that matter!).
