Can I turn off dark mode?

No, not at this time, maybe in the future. I went dark since it seems to be the pref now.

That's a shame. The "pref" is whatever the user has set on their device, and I wish more sites would respect that, rather than defaulting to their own "pref".

Are there supposed to be pictures? I passed a human silhouette, but that was it.

The whole thing is automatically generated? Does anything persist? If I could be in the middle of reading it, and the next day it's completely different, that's a huge waste of my time.

No. It's not just you.

I have nothing against dark mode in principle, but please don't make it the default. Respect the user's preference.

Or, at the very least, don't use white on black. Soften the contrast so that, if you force me to read it, it's not burned into my vision.

The problem is that most sites implement dark mode wrong with too much contrast. It doesn’t work if you make it “black”. It’s more about dimming the lights.

Reading dark pages will never be as good as reading in a well lit room. But there are ways to make it work.

It's just a matter of time before one of these vulnerable individuals kills a whole bunch of people because the machine told them to.

And that person is "rebuilding" the FDA.

Oh gawd, seek help. Some people are driven insane by politics.

There's literally a Black Mirror episode of this.

I've run numerous interactive text adventures through ChatGPT as well, and while it's great at coming up with scenarios and taking the story in surprising directions, it sucks at maintaining a coherent narrative. The stories are fraught with continuity errors. What time of day it is seems to be decided at random, and it frequently forgets things I did or items picked up previously that are important. It also needs to be constantly reminded of rules that I gave it in the initial prompt. Basically, stuff that the article refers to as "maintaining state."

I've become wary of trusting it with any task that takes more than 5-10 prompts to achieve. The more I need to prompt it, the more frequently it hallucinates.

I'm more annoyed by them. They're so small on my work monitor that it's nearly impossible to tell them apart. They just look like smudges.

I don't get the need to use novel symbols like this when standard numerals would suffice.

I’d be interested to see a screenshot. Something’s quite wrong if they look like smudges. I’d be interested to see what font’s being used, too, which you can find in Firefox’s dev tools, Inspector tab, Fonts pane, Fonts Used section.

The whole internet, really.

Computers should simply be banned in the US since they facilitate piracy.

To end piracy, all creators must halt all creation.

Is that really something people do? Really seems insincere and inappropriate to me. Is it a cultural thing?

Over 25 years as a programmer, I've only seen some very jr developers (no industry experience), do this. It's unlikely to help you in getting the position, which is why it's rare.

Some nearly 15 years ago, one of my elders told me to do this. I was later told this was the reason they picked me over someone else. That's the story of how I got a job at a megacorp. In massive companies, HR people can feel really undervalued. In a sea of a dozen of equally qualified juniors, a hand written card can tip the scale. At least then. It wouldn't have moved me and I don't know when the last time an HR person got to be the final decision maker on a hire, but that's some context.

American possibly. I've only seen them from American candidates.

Maybe? It just seems like good manners. Don't overdo it but as an interviewer I don't expect an email but I'd find it very normal to receive a short polite one.
