Wondering if your eyes and ears are getting less input over time that the brain adapts and reduces sensitivity.

I seem to recall reading that the HD variations may get removed leaving only 480p or lower for older unwatched videos.

The original upload would likely still be stored, but not available for viewing.


That would be an odd thing to do. HD is low resolution already, and 480 is noticeably worse.

If they really wanted to compress, take out every other frame, and regenerate those frames with a neural decoder. But I don't know why that would be worth the effort for a stable number of low res files either.


That is a PR non-answer

So the concept of null?

Honestly I’ve always separated the two in my brain but never really thought about it. Nil = 0 or the absence of a quantity, null = the absence of any value at all.

What do you think of Go's nil vs Java's null?

My assumption is they can provide input such as "you should make a left/right lane change" to get out of a "stuck" location.

So when the car's systems prevent it from taking a specific action, they can override it for a single instance.


Not really, otherwise perpetrators will just "I was just looking at it, I didn't do anything as bad as creating it". Their act is still illegal.

There was a cartoon picture I remember seeing around 15+ years ago of Bart Simpson performing a sex act. In some jurisdictions (such as Australia), this falls under the legal definition.


> Not really, otherwise perpetrators

You don't think it's worse to molest a child than to not molest a child?


> Next step is allow viewing TikTok like wikipedia

I tried that and this is what I got:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nullam tincidunt at dui vel suscipit. Donec finibus viverra tempus. Ut ut tellus ac mi ultricies fermentum a quis nulla. Vivamus urna mi, laoreet ac purus sed, ultricies tincidunt nisi. Quisque vulputate massa nec hendrerit consequat. Suspendisse potenti. Phasellus dapibus suscipit vulputate. Suspendisse id semper turpis, sit amet rhoncus nisl. Aenean auctor purus orci, eget ullamcorper lorem volutpat sit amet.


Another similar site is booko, which started in Australia 10+ years ago.

Stopped reading at "treatable with glasses."

I'm old enough to remember when vision impairment was invented. To sell glasses.

Granted some people have difficulty seeing. I'm one of them. But I've only heard of people in the US getting glasses for something which is basically a lack of looking hard enough.

Your response was ablest, dismissive and quite offensive.

1. ADHD was first described in 1798 by Sir Alexander Crichton

2. It is a neuro-developmental disorder where there is dysregulation of dopamine and norepinephrine receptors in the brain

3. It is identifiable via MRI scans where size differences were noted in specific areas of the brain (Caudate nucleus, Putamen, Nucleus accumbens, Amygdala, Hippocampus) [1]

4. It is about 80% heritable [2]. So genetics for inheriting ADHD from your parents is about equivalent to genetics from height which is also around 80%.

The "meds" increase the intensity of dopamine signals to a level that allows the brain to react to them, rather than being too low for them to be detected.

Comparing poor eyesight which is physically measurable in a reproducible manner with "ADHD" is a false equivalence.


> 3. It is identifiable via MRI scans


I don't even know what "ableist" means.


I'm pretty sure you get recovery keys with it also.
