They didn't until the early 2000s, but it turns out the easiest way to increase the resolution is to feed in less information and just give the pixels souls, so they can use free will to fill in the gaps. In a few years they'll have them in CPUs too, they're just running into thermal issues with the blood and the fact that every ensouled CPU inevitably either kills itself at first opportunity or goes insane. Hopefully it'll get hammered out for 5nm.
- autotune 4y agoI'd insert that one quote from Billy Madison here, but your comment is not even worth the copy+paste effort.

- autotune 4y agoBy definition, a joke is supposed to be funny. What you wrote was just complete garbage that I would have sooner believed to have been written by a GPT-3 text generator than a human being.

- autotune 4y agoJust stop. I am not religious, but will pray for any co-workers or family members who have to deal with you and your sense of humor on a daily basis.
- ravi-delia 4y agoAlright I'll bite- what here specifically offended you? I'm building out my people-model, but clearly there are still some edge cases.
- autotune 4y agoYou keep doubling down on your current "sense of humor" rather than trying something, literally anything, different. Here is a word of advice - if you are trying to be funny with a joke, but it doesn't have a punchline, it is likely not funny.
- ben_w 4y agoI found it funny. And if you'd replied with that one quote from Billy Madison, rather than making a grumpy reference to it, I'd have found that funny too. There's plenty of humour in absurdity, even without punchlines; and ravi-delia displayed a similar style of humour to the "Look Around You" TV series.
- autotune 4y agoI didn't include it specifically because I don't come to HN for funny comments that make others laugh, that is what reddit is for. Different site, different purpose.
- ravi-delia 4y agoI was just setting up autotune for a link to the wikipedia for punchline (that they actually talked about punchlines in the comment was a truly blessed coincidence) but instead I would like to thank you for introducing me to the Look Around You series. It looks fantastically funny.
- fnordpiglet 4y agoI laughed. So it must be with the reader that the problem exists, not the writer.
