Visual snow syndrome. Yeah, the fussy tv static you also see? Ain’t normal and also part of it. You likely have constant ringing in your ears? Tinnitus is almost always linked with VSS.
I have a plethora of oddities but no static vision (sometimes a buzz in the ear but like a strong buzz, rarely btw). No tinnitus or at least I think so, maybe i am just used
Those tiny tubes are normal to be in your eye but you usually don’t notice them (they are body cells or proteins). Only when you are looking at something bright (eg. a completely white wall) do you see them. If you regularly see them and they dont go away if the room is less well lit then you should get it checked out though.
My eye doctor calls them “floaters”. They’re pretty common from how the Dr talks about them. Dr says come in if there’s suddenly a spike in them. I gather that’s a sign something bad is happening with the eye.
I got hit in the eye (long story short, my cousin learned to throw cards like Gambit and nailed me straight in the eye).
I was seeing flashes so went to an eye doctor, and they warned me of retinal detachment. Aside from the flashes, a sudden increase in floaters is another warning sign.
I’m surprised some tech company hasn’t put waterproof touchscreen devices in their employee locker room showers so that their employees can reply to email in there.
In France (and probably other countries too) there is an actual real group of people advocating that we can get all our nutrients from the sun and don’t need to eat, they also claim they stare at the sun every day for hours. They make youtube video, and have lots of followers…
Of course they claim exactly what is said in this joke.
Doesn’t mean we can’t learn from them. The process of developing those models can be incredibly useful in learning about complex steps. They help us understand what conditions and variables are important to look into. We can figure out what we know a lot about and what is still a complete mystery.
Turbulent airflow is an incredibly complicated thing, we still haven’t fully solved the Navier+Stokes equations. I hope to be alive when someone does.
Just because they don’t perfectly figure it out the first time doesn’t mean we should stop putting effort into incremental improvements. Though we do have to be careful that we are not wasting resources when there is a more efficient path forward. Simulations are one of many important tools, we just have to use them wisely.
Whatever benefits you get out of letting an AI write code for you, is lost as soon as the corporate overlords claim your work as theirs because they own the AI that wrote it.
Floaters are one thing, but what about the internal electric / static activity you can see, what is that called? I was always way more intrigued by that than some eyeball sludge.
Do you see a reflection of neural activity or something? Just like floaters they’re only visible when looking at larger plain things with 1 colour. They seem projected, and less obvious than the floaters but more common in your whole view.
Do you get diagnosed for that? I am pretty sure I have that. I will talk about it to my optometrist the next visit. I thought that was my vision degrading as I aged, but the intensity of it varies with fatigue, stress and migraines.
I had cataracts done, have tons of floaters. Also makes it almost impossible to follow a golf ball in flight. I used to play, but got fed up not having a clue where I had hit the damned ball.
