The current "too dangerous" hype today is Anthropic's Mythos. They say it is so mighty that they will wall it off and only grant access to approved corporations.

I would also say my tech is too dangerous and only allowed for selected corporations if I tried to sell my tech to said corporations.

Ah yes, corporations, famously the right hands to wield mighty weapons.

I agree many meetings could be an email.

Look at it this way though, this site is low-key a CV portfolio piece because he isn't just writing about dithering, he's demonstrating that he can research, analyze and then both code and create a site at a level most vibers cannot.


If it supported it, 100 Hz paired with a mouse set for 200 Hz was nice and smooth.


The Croscore fonts ARE the Liberation fonts, just renamed.

I keep both for naming compatibility and also because the 1.0 Liberation versions had truetype hinting (2.0 and up did not).


They still do. It's the required font for all US Supreme Court legal work.


Have you tried eye-patching as a therapy to train the non-dominant eye?


As a lay person who likes to look at fonts closely, the purpose they are intended for matters. I don't like the Atkinson font for body text because I find it too round. For a transit sign I suppose it is fine since it would be printed at display sizes and only momentarily gazed at.

Calibri is a high-quality font that works as body text, but it's cold.

Times NR on paper is fine, on screen it is not fine unless you have a high resolution display.


I don't like newer codecs like AV1. I find them blurrier. Perhaps the bitrate is too low, but they do seem blurrier compared to h264. Even VP09 has often seemed better.

h264 is a very good codec.


they usually run newer codecs at a much lower bitrate, and do group testing to make sure the quality is "acceptable".

in double blind testing, at the same bitrate, you'll pick the "new" codec every time. but yes, they're trying to save money on bandwidth. it's annoying


Another example of why Android is better for this use case. With Firefox for Android you can install an extension to force h264 from YouTube and the problem is solved. With iPhone, you cannot. You must buy a new device when you need a feature or support.


China and India are two-thirds of the human race. With population numbers like those, this is large scale adoption.. just not in our market.


Your math is way off, China and India combined are roughly 35 %.
