Pizza Napoletana (usually margherita DOP or marinara when at home.)

One of my local Neapolitan pizzerias makes a fantastic pizza melanzane too.

High quality ingredients, carefully selected; less is most definitely more!

About 30% in Europe/US; half that in China.

Electricity consumption drops sharply during the night - when wind power typically peaks. There are power companies that offer substantially cheaper rates at night for charging EVs for this very reason.

"Most BEVs are charged over night, where only Hydro or Geothermal makes power"

Maybe in Iceland; anywhere with wind and nuclear power, this really is not the case.

You made a blanket statement about grey/white > black/white. I countered that dark grey/white is better.

Dark grey is grey. This is a clear counter example to your blanket statement - no misinterpretation.

You could have just corrected/refined your blanket statement, but instead you lied and bs'd about why dark grey is worse, and when that was called out you tried to make out that really this is all just my misinterpretatiom. Sure dude - whatever. I'm not gonna waste any more of my time arguing with someone that is straight-up dishonest.

It's right there in the study:

"However, black text on white background represented a severe overstimulation of the OFF channels"

And yes, the study does refer to the opposite:

"while white text on black background overstimulated the ON channels"

And

"Note that reading white text on black background (ON stimulus, denoted in green) causes choroidal thickening while black text on white background caused choroidal thinning"

...

"Since choroidal thickness changes are precursors for future changes in eye growth, we expect that there will be selective effects on subsequent myopia development.

So black/white causes overstimulation (visual discomfort) and this could be causing future eye health problems.

This overstimulation is well known and understood and is why more knowledgeable web developers etc., understanding that too much contrast literally harms readability, choose something with slightly less contrast - like dark grey/white.

But you can go ahead and frame it however you like. If you're going to continue reframing and outright lying* then there's no point in having a discussion with you. You clearly have difficulty coming to terms with being wrong - which is really quite sad.

*You denied used anecdotal evidence for some wild, easily disproved, assertions (black is always always black), then confirmed a couple of comments later that this was based on your own years of experience - which I'm now strongly suspecting was also BS.

I just posted a study showing the problems of black/white. I don't disagree about the overuse of light grey/white, but it's really irrelevant to what I said.

The reason I felt what you were saying was anecdotal is because consistent black is really a feature of amoled screens. If a screen is so badly calibrated that dark grey is coming out substantially lighter then it's probably going to doing something similar to black.

"Black always looks black"

"...[dark grey] text appearing light or mid grey"

These statements seem anecdotal and contradictory. You're not really addressing the issue of black/white being overstimulating, and causing more eye strain than dark grey/white at any rate.

If the shade is really that different, then the problem is a poorly calibrated screen, and black text on white is also going to look "totally different".

Some good suggestions. The cooked onions are delicious, and definitely worth keeping. I've used them in a roasted vegetable side dish, and within a veggie lasagna. The recipe is very well known though so there's lots of suggestions online for what to do with them e.g. https://www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/what-to-do-with-onion-from-marcella-hazan-tomato-sauce-article.

Just to note, while black mold is common on onions and can be washed/cut off. The roots of some other molds can be highly toxic and discarding the visibly affected parts may not be enough, so be very careful.

And would you say that an idea formed from the combination of multiple old human ideas is not original? If the influence of an existing idea disqualifies it from being original then very little could be considered original. If something additional to existing ideas is needed for originality then that what is that thing which is beyond the capability of an AI?

Personally, I would argue that any new combination of existing ideas is inherently original (i.e. a fresh perspective.)

Talking specifically about image generators (rather than LLMs) which are trained on billions of images - some of which would be widely considered as artwork (old ideas?) and others documentary photographs.
