This 100%. I only figured this out 15 years after having started driving.

To add to this I tilt my rear view mirror (the one connected to the windshield) a little bit upwards to force me to sit a bit straighter and taller when I look at it. You slouch less so for long car trips your back ends up feeling a bit better.

I believe in evolutionary biology circles, they call that the great mistake. But hey, you get none of the calories and twice the taste :) /s

This 100%. Here’s a life pro tip: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is the trademarked brand. The generic product (which is exactly the same thing) is “melamine sponge”.

Depending on where you live, the Magic Eraser is an 4-5X more expensive than the equivalent generic on Amazon or eBay.

This is a great use of tech. With that said I find that the lines are blurred between “AI” and Machine Learning.

Real Question: Other than the specific tuning of the recognition model, how is this really different from something like Facebook automatically tagging images of you and your friends? Instead of saying "Here’s a picture of Billy (maybe) " it’s saying, “Here’s a picture of some precancerous masses (maybe)”.

That tech has been around for a while (at least 15 years). I remember Picasa doing something similar as a desktop program on Windows.

Mr. Clean Magic Erasers.

The “generic” name is melamine sponge. These work exactly the same and cost a fraction of the brand name.
