I believe E-ink displays do this for faster updates for touch interactivity. Updatimg the whole display as the user writes on the touch screen would otherwise be too slow for Eink.

I used to be a display architect about 15 years back (for Qualcomm mirasol, et al), so my knowledge of the specifics / numbers is outdated. Sharing what I know. High pixel density displays have disproportionately higher display refres

Excel has many classical dialog boxes with text that becomes too small on high resolution displays. May be they fixed in newer versions (mine is 2021). Excel is better than other spreadsheet alternatives I have seen though, but is mo longe

Interesting. Seems like software could be made a notch more robust by encoding true and false with a larger number of bit differences.

Genuinely asking -- How about the camera? I keep hearing that camera is much better on 17 pro than 17 base. The OP article keeps saying camera on 17e is 'stunning', but again, I am waiting to find out how it compares with 17 pro.

From the brief description, this sounds to be quite basic. Looking forward to hearing if Terence has treated the explanations differently. :-)

I have indeed seen that with humans as well, including in conference papers and medical journals. The reference citations in papers is seen by many authors as another section they need to fill to get their articles accepted, not as a natura

Thanks. How hard is it to handle cases where the starting positions of ellipsoids in 3D is not correct (being too off). How common is such a scenario with the state of the art? E.g., if having only a stereoscopic image pair, the correspon

AFAIK and IANAL. Algorithms are considered mathematics and not patentable in themselves. So even if prompts are seen as algorithms, they would not be patentable. Prompts would have the usual copyright protections. I presume though that so

I have heard about this approach elsewhere too. Could you please provide some more details on the set up steps and usage approach. I would like to replicate. Thanks.

Rephrasing the original question then -- Where do I find great management? :-)

+1 Interruptions are 'breaks' that clear your context memory by drawing it to something else entirely. An activity like lunch, shower, etc., actually help by giving you moments to ruminate thoughts related to the deep work at hand

Hi Can, I looked at the simulator mentioned at the end of the post. The deep work I am often in requires way more than an hour of it and with continuity. This is because a lot of context needs to be held in memory and the loss from interru

The tech industry has such inefficiencies nearly everywhere. There's no good explanation why an AI model that knows so much could be smaller than a typical OS installation. I could once optimize a solution to produce over 500x improve

I had worked on mirasol technology. I believe the colors on newer prototypes were much better than any e-reader tech till date. The issues were related to manufacturing most importantly.

Indeed. I know little but perhaps the harm felt on future valuation is more than the settlement amount.

Indeed. While I could sense what was implied, I also thought of some newly-launched 'AI Judge' by Anthropic making the said claim. :-)

Is tbat saying that all software should be free? And extending beyond software, that all books, art, movies, etc., should be free to copy? Likewise, would it be fine for anyone to use any other company's logo?

Is this saying that it is an either-or situation? Ideal would be a device that can be written fast when needed, but can also hold. Is there some more fundamental thing at a pixel level that links agility with retention?

Thanks. For #2, it needs to render around 66 characters per minute. The power loss mentioned collectively is 15% in battery life. When I open a Word doc, that would show say around 1500 characters on the screen within two-three sevonds

Out of curiosity, what would it take to not have the system lose so much energy with this setting? My watch too updates seconds every second. Someone in the comments on this thread has mentioned hardware-based blinking cursors. A compute
