  > Am I reading this correctly?!
What you should have read correctly was the Facebook terms of service. I still get strange responses when I tell people that I don't use WhatsApp. All Meta's properties are tainted such that I won't use them.

I'm reminded of Bo Burnham's wonderful "That Funny Feeling" from 2021's "Inside", where one of the absurd examples he offers in the lyrics is:

  There it is again, that funny feeling
  That funny feeling
  Reading Pornhub's terms of service ...

GP is stating that the second best in the field, the Chinese, is so far behind the best in the field, GPT 5.5, that it is not even worth testing anything else.

Thanks for the translation, I did not express it very clearly. Anything that I try is so much worse.

Is GPT 5.5 the best in the field? I think Opus is still better despite Anthropic's recent stumbling.

I did not try much Opus recently as I had a Codex subscription and heard bad things, but Opus is super good too. Let's say compared to any of them.

Security is done in layers. Yes, we do our best to keep the adversaries outside the proverbial hatch. But even inside the hatch, the principal of least privilege is important in reducing the damage of attacks.

By what method would you suggest calibrating one's monitor? I use Debian Linux if that's a factor.

You can do it on Linux but you need to buy a device you attach to your monitor. I have a Spyder X Pro but there are others.

It’s like $200 and it’s not worth it unless you do color sensitive work (photo editing, printing or video editing) and you have an expensive monitor or expensive laptop with good color support. Many monitors will fail so badly the calibration won’t be able to fix it.

But if you’ve ever had a lot of trouble trying to get colors to match when printing or between devices, it could be a godsend, although it’s only one of the many reasons colors might not match.


Thank you.

I wonder if photo stores might have the device, and if they would loan it. I'm surprised there is no method of calibration against common objects of known colour, such as Euro bills.


If you use the proper profile for your monitor and set the monitor to a profile that's relatively accurate it should be decent

Thank you. I'll research that.

I'd love to see a photograph of a 32 bit greyscale gradient on both. I wonder if some monitors with similar issues would not be able to represent the photograph properly.

Yes, but that is then followed by:

  > Built-in models should be significantly smaller. The exact size may vary slightly with updates.

  > This feels like a lot of work for low reward
Low per-device reward combined with a high user count - either by large legitimate players or by botnets - has been the monetisation strategy of most online enterprises.

  > Just need to figure out a way to make normal people understand.
Has that strategy ever actually worked?

My opinion is based on what I see people upvoting on the internet you insensitive clod!

Though I hate the idea of this, I can see it becoming popular in some use cases, such as schools with "safe places".
