This is a good biological explanation. The physical explanation is, if the sensitivities didn't overlap, our spectral sensitivity would not be continuous. There would be valleys of zero sensitivity between the cones, and a continuous wavelength sweep would result in us seeing black bands between colors.

Thousands are being laid off, supposedly because they're "being replaced with AI," implying the AI is as good or better as humans at these jobs. Managers and execs are workers, too--so if the AI really is so good, surely they should recuse themselves and go live a peaceful life with the wealth they've accrued.

I don't know about you, but I can't imagine that ever happening. To me, that alone is a tip off that this tech, while amazing, can't live up to the hype in the long term.

Interesting, her videos have never struck me as contrarian for the sake of it, she seems genuinely frustrated at a lack of substantial progress in physics and the plethora of garbage papers. Though I imagine it must be annoying to be a physicist and have someone constantly telling you you're not good enough, but that itself is kind of part of the scientific process too.

Evernote will do this, you can feed it a bunch of PDFs and other documents, it will OCR them and make them all searchable. it's not perfect, but you can also add manual tags for things you know are important.

Lots of people swear by PlatformIO on VSCode, and that's totally fine. But if you're the kind of programmer that just wants "notepad, but with an 'upload' button" the Arduino IDE is hard to beat.

There is a lot more to image quality than just resolution, and often increasing resolution will hurt sensor performance in other areas like dynamic range, QE, and noise.

The Arri Alexa's Alev III sensor, which has won basically every Best Cinematography Oscar for the last decade, shoots at about 3k resolution (~7MP) yet holds up perfectly fine on huge cinema screens.

If there was salary parity between teachers and workers, I think that sentiment would vanish. With the current disparity, the implication is teaching is a "final resort" for people who "couldn't cut it" in their industry.

With 3D printers, "cheap" is inversely correlated with "reliable." Something like an Ender 3 will fulfill your requirements, but will require maintenance once it's been "broken in."

If you can find some more cash, a Prusa MK3S or the newer Bambu Lab X1 or AnkerMake will provide more consistent, reliable quality.

Oculus sells their hardware at a loss, and make up for it by selling your data.

Valve doesn't care about being competitive. They're not market driven. They hire the best engineers possible, and let them work on what they want.

Sometimes that comes together in something beautiful (Alyx, Index) sometimes it results in something out of touch (steam machines) and sometimes it results in unending development hell.
