Well not nothing. They do block the sun.
so can litery anything else
Clear glass. A ziplock bag. Wind. Thoughts and prayers. Sunblock - dammit.
I took the time to read the fine print, and these glasses appear to sense the vector of reflected light and specifically filter out waves with a horizontal orientation. The processimg power needed to do this will mean these must have an uncomfortably large battery or require frequent charging.
Polarization is kind of just magic. Which means these sunglasses might actually require mana points to use.
Sunglasses dont do ‘absolitely nothing’.
People will constantly cry about the fact that I’m not putting on sunscreen while they’re going out in the sun without sunglasses.
People are dumb. I could technically remove a cancerous mole myself, I can’t remove eye cancer myself. Or somehow unfuck my eyes once they’re damaged.
DuckDuckGo should apply this lesson to their search engine!
I maintain that this should be the default behavior and the AI be opt-in
AI is the future of search and I dont see anyway that changes. The user experience of AI search is way to good, average users love the summary at the top of their search. Almost every report i’ve seen shows over 50% of people using AI for search and that tracks with what I see in people i know in real life.
I’m a DDG user and I do not want them to handicap themselves to pass a purity test.
Then opt in. We shouldn’t have to opt out to avoid padding the AI numbers.
Its a generalized product targeting average people. Average people dont care AI/No AI they want the results and they use the AI summaries. If DDG hid it then they would just think it doesnt exist and go use google which provides them faster more convenient results.
We’re talking about the same duckduckgo that had a huge poll about this right? The only data point that exists regarding what people want is that of the 175,354 users who took the poll, only 10% wanted AI features.
DuckDuckGo has taken a clear stance on generative AI and other LLM-based tools, having asked users whether they wanted AI results fully integrated into search. An overwhelming majority said no, which is why the company now keeps AI content and interactions confined to a separate page.
This is what I get when I run a DuckDuckGo search in a private window. Sure doesn’t look separate to me.
Click “show never” or “on demand”
which is far from
the company now keeps AI content and interactions confined to a separate page.
they are definitely not confining AI functions to that page.
Given the url, it would seem to be quite the opposite.
