A necessary part of this semantic ontological layer would be an ontological model of the human being based on consciousness. The prevailing materialistic/behaviouristic model only describes human behaviour, missing the internal states in which that behaviour arises. While consciousness cannot be measured, everyone knows empirically that it exists. After all, if you were not conscious, you would not be reading this. So consciousness and its associated phenomena are part of the ground or substrate of all other phenomena. Therefore, it must be part of any comprehensive ontology.
after COVID i experienced macular degeneration—first in the left eye, later in the right. unfortunately, I was in a rural area of India at the time, and there was no good ophthalmologist available. So the macular degeneration was diagnosed as cataracts; which were also there, but in a nascent stage and not yet the cause of vision problems. So I got a cataract procedure done on the left eye, and it basically changed nothing.
Later I moved to Sri Lanka, where there are good eye hospitals in the local area. There I got a proper diagnosis and was discouraged from a second cataract procedure. I am controlling the macular degeneration by high doses of ocular vitamins. As far as glasses, I also found progressive lenses pretty useless, so I have two pairs: one for distance and one for computer work.
Most serious tools that change the world look like toys at first. That's not my quote, that's paraphrased from the people who are associated with this website.
he’s right; it happened to me too. new low-karma accounts can’t post anything without being banned, blocked or flagged. wanna bet they won’t even let me post this comment?
I believe there's an algorithm that sifts though each submission if it makes the cut. I'm thinking if username is part of submission link - might be cause to weigh the submission harder. Anyhow, those that do happen to end up being marked dead ... it's then up to other users who are viewing new posts (including dead ones) to vouch for them, the forum is all day and folks like me only go back 4 or 5 hours to see if there's anything interesting including those that are dead that might be actually interesting. More often based on the title of the post alone for me to decide to look deeper. Most days I don't vouch a thing, today just the one.
You'd IMO, done better to ask what others think is good taste when it comes to a product that's new or being updated.
