They feel uncomfortable with being filmed while going about their day to day life? Maybe they should stop making products that enable such a thing.

How do these glasses "enable" it any more than a gopro, a security camera, or the phone that nearly every person in the developed world already has?

Others are making it wrong doesn't justify another wrong.

In any case: they are different because they are in the face all day long, they are not a device some needs to start using to record; they are not operated by the user, in the sense that the user does not show any active indication of recording (e.g. they are not holding the camera); they are similar to regular glasses, making it hard to distinguish;

and they do not clear indicate if they are recording (and don't tell me that the LED is enough)


Behavior like this will one day causing "no glasses beyond this point" rule, which will also hurts people that really need to use glasses.

All things you mentioned can be easily prohibited on photo-sensitive area. Perhaps phone is harder, but it's still easily get prohibited without hurting anything. Glasses so far is a requirement, not that easy to prohibit in an area.


Because it's intentionally a camera that blends into normal clothing so it's less obvious you are being filmed.

because these always-available features changes the threshold for it happening

The comment to which you're responding didn't claim the glasses enabled it more than some other device does. And these employees don't work for the companies that make those devices. You can see how your question is irrelevant whataboutism right?

Most people would recognize a gopro, or a security camera, or a phone held in a certain way as something that is recording or likely to be recording.

I don't think most people would recognize the meta glasses as something that could be recording. Especially if you cover or disable the recording LED light that is supposed to come on.


Brother it's a museum, not the newest Marvel movie. There aren't "spoilers".

I can't believe they spoiled the ending for me.

Now anybody who reads these comments won't get the full effect of the Far Side plot twist

Because each number is equally as likely as every other number. If you know you're more likely to get certain numbers, or in this case have no chance of getting certain other numbers, it is by definition _less random_.

No, that has nothing to do with randomness. It is however a different distribution than expected.

Think about the odds of a uranium atom decaying in a given second. Certainly a random event, yet for most seconds, the value is False, not True.


You are both right, the atom decaying is completely random but the distribution of the decays is still predictable.

If you have a random number generator your are relying on the fact that it is uniformly distributed and thus has no bias towards certain numbers. Or if it is not uniformly distributed you would want to know the exact distribution so you can correct for it.

If you have an RNG that is treated as putting out uniformly distributed numbers but it is does in fact favor some numbers over others, that would be a defect that can cause problems/be exploited.


Ah. My reasoning, with the normal distribution, was that zero was at the left most end of the curve and with a pretty much non-existent chance of appearing.

That may well be a problem, yes.

Mr Rossman will literally tell you to use an ad-blocker to watch his videos and refuses to take sponsorships, actively does not want money from making YouTube videos and just wants to get the word out. I'd agree with you if it was literally any other creator.

Two things can be true at once, especially when talking about people’s behaviour. I don’t know this guy from atom, but if he’s a YouTuber then my instinct is to not trust him.

Your instinct is, believe it or not, imperfect.

No, you are in the wrong here.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, that seems like a pretty phrase to me, is it considered an LLMism now? Kinda feels like the same thing with the em-dashes; I can't use em anymore because people will then assume I'm an LLM, even though just a few years ago it was a perfectly normal thing to do.

It's entirely possible I'm just getting worse and worse at picking out LLM writing these days too, who knows.


It’s a very common tic of recent Claude models specifically. Don’t worry - for better or worse, the labs are trying to train away AI writing smells (for example, Anthropic talked about Fable 5.1 having more natural writing), so this particular tic will probably become outdated as an AI indicator relatively soon, as em dashes already have. And then people will forget about it.

Damn, had to look it up but it's still around.

"Our end-to-end encrypted, AI-powered file sharing platform allows you to upload, manipulate & share files of any size, on any device."

Their website also reports that LMWR is $0.0098, so I guess we'll want to get on that before it goes to the moon.


I remember visiting their offices for a game night sometime in the early 2010s in NYC, and it was incredible - they had something like three floors of a large building somewhere in SOHO, with each floor having a dedicated kitchen with three refridgerators that had more square footage than some of my friends' living spaces.

At the time, as far as I recall, they were still a filesharing platform, so I had absolutely no idea where they got the money for all of that.


They got all that money from the massive amounts of malware (or at best, adware of dubious value, like toolbars and stuff) they were paid to install alongside their filesharing client.

wow, apparently it's a cryptocurrency?[1] LOL. Somebody lost a lot of money on this, as it peaked at $1.79 in 2024.

You're a few months ahead of yourself :)

I'm Canadian, I disapprove strongly of Elon and his antics, and there are cable and fibre options in my neighbourhood, but Starlink is cheaper and I need to pinch pennies everywhere I can. And the service is excellent.

Vim has full mouse support. Not only can you exit, but you can even save using just the mouse.
