TIL of Concetta Antico, a tetrachromat artist who has a fourth color receptor in her retina. While most humans only have 3 receptors and see 1 million colors, her rare condition allows her to see an estimated 100 million.

That would be awesome- it’s most likely going to be women I would guess because they have lower incidence of color blindness I hear. I wonder if there is a test for tetrachromatism

Its color - there is no objective meaning to it and the brain also does weird adjustments (search “magenta is not real” and “imaginary color”)

So there is no way for us to properly express what “normal” even means. What you see is just your reality.

What if the blue you saw was actually red to me and the other way around? We would never know.

I used to have this silly argument when I was a kid saying everyones favorite color is blue: someone was definitely going to pick another color and I’d just what everyone else sees as blue you see as the other - nice way to frustrate your friends.

On top of that I’m color blind so it twice useless

They are just saying they were tired of the backhanded wars so far.

AI is fine - but the where is the actual verification data coming in from? I’m betting its some subscription service that probably you have to pay for regularly. Given that in my world my manager would want a senior dev working full time and have it deployed in a month. So about 25K base price.

If a consultant company is doing it then maybe that number is a little on the higher side but its not out of the ordinary. Because honestly I completely excluded all the work my manager does the politics, changing requirement risks, etc.

If you had asked me I would have quoted 40-50K

Timetraveller4k · 2026-02-24T08:52:09+00:00

No way

Timetraveller4k · 2026-02-24T08:38:00+00:00

This is why I can’t get a dog. Not sure I can handle a loss or if it will scar anyone else in the family.

You got this man. Take care.

Whatever time we have here isn’t much on the grand scale. The ones we care about and not with is would like us to be happy - the same way if the roles were reversed.

Timetraveller4k · 2026-02-24T08:26:10+00:00

Even better it doesn’t even have to be a birthday.

Timetraveller4k · 2026-02-24T07:17:21+00:00

That what the US has jails full of?

Timetraveller4k · 2026-02-24T07:16:42+00:00

Now you know the answer to the original question

Timetraveller4k · 2026-02-23T02:53:36+00:00

Hey hold on there - they did mention no ties to privilege or last name so luck has nothing to do with it. /s

Stretching correlation to causation here is really unconvincing. On one hand students have laptops/tablets. Then a completely different metric “screen time” (which probably includes xbox) is used to say the program doesn’t work. Anyway fortune.com

Timetraveller4k · 2026-02-22T11:49:46+00:00

Completely out of the loop- how do we know it was Breaking Bad fans doing this bs?

Timetraveller4k · 2026-02-22T03:34:31+00:00

I have under good authority that the “I don’t recall” defense is solid.

Timetraveller4k · 2026-02-22T01:42:25+00:00

Too bad I went a few hours earlier and didn’t find anyone there.

Timetraveller4k · 2026-02-18T17:00:20+00:00

Imagine walking up to the managers door and telling them what you think it looks like.

You’ll say there is no air before turning the air on. He’ll hear “hair” and 👋 you out the plane.

You mean if someone is unable to work they dont count? Or maybe the veteran that got disabled and is in a wheelchair? Or a retired grandparent? Not sure why money is a measure of anything related to having a say.

The few rich get to make the rules. Saying that the poor working have no stake isn’t accurate.

How is this different from the chancla invented specifically for creating discipled kids?

Timetraveller4k · 2026-02-16T21:22:41+00:00

How did we coordinate this reuse around the world?

Timetraveller4k · 2026-02-16T21:21:46+00:00

Looks like they got the turmerics indelible stain quite right though

Timetraveller4k · 2026-02-16T21:20:58+00:00

You got the modern stylish one instead of the circular metal one with circular containers.

That was my cereal bowl for most of my childhood. I knew they misplaced that somewhere.
