I assumed he'd estimated it based on how distorted the face appears behind the glasses. I do that all the time.

At this angle it's hard for me to do that, since I usually use the edges of the face to estimate it. negative glasses pull the line inwards, positive outwards. I can reliably tell when someone is wearing fake glasses (0 strength) for example, and probably estimate strength within 30% of the actual value.

If the image was higher res maybe I could estimate this case too. Or this professional optometrist is just a lot better at it than I am.


Strong negative glasses: (Note the faces contours in the glasses appearing well inside the faces contours around the glassed)

Fake glasses:

Positive glasses:


PS: Searching for generic terms yields 100% fake glasses, so I took a specific person I remember having strong glasses for myopia.

I also find it to be very slow on many networks, and even in ideal conditions it might get 2MB/s when the phone has a 10MB/s connection.

For photos and predictable stuff I thus use syncthing, and the odd very large thing I send using scp with termux.

The Iranians were using forced child labor to enrich weapons-grade uranium by hand.

Australian biotech startup Cortical Labs

So no seems this is a different group, doing this more professionally and marketing themselves as an ai cloud startup.

Only one besides Ox I can think of is K9.

With the repeated letter rule, tit or ass would also work.

They make you input a plausible credit card (number, expiry, cvv, holder), then the balance on it. Then they probably mine crypto while the tab is open telling you to please wait.

Recently did this but using a sharp flat kitchen knife. Angle it almost horizontally and scrape it over the surface like it's a sharpening stone.

Clarity can also be achieved with a 4k panel. Once your panel gets over 600ppi it's gonna blow an eink screen out of the water at its own game. Those phones were barely ever made only Sony even tried. Probably due to battery life, or maybe noone realized what they do to the reading experience.

Either way we're gonna improve battery life and maybe even get microled before eink ever gets competitive with emissive screens. Someone is bound to rediscover that you never truly needed eink for comfortable reading, just a significant increase in resolution.

64 bit systems aren't even 64 bit yet. Just recently we had the next stage of rollout pushing memory space sizes from 48 bit (256TiB) to 57 bit (128PiB).
