That seems like a weird way to measure it in an age of streaming TV.

That's the only part I don't like about the Switch OS, and, yes, it's very bad. And it always baffles me why they wouldn't improve the app that generates revenue of all things.

Funny to hear there were ~8 models because my impression has always been that they sold ~8 of them total.

Replace "instant death" with "certain doom" then! Even more fantastical!

Lots of devices that come with OLED displays come with a "vibrancy" mode turned on by default that oversaturates colors until you turn it off. It does look great at a glance tho!

The response being referred to here is the quickness of the pixels' ability to change.

My 2nd favourite was with GSM mobile devices - and my car radio - inevitably immediately before getting a call, or TXT message (or email on my Blackberry), if I was in my car and had the radio going, I would get a little "dit-dit-dit&

And it's been 30 years since I read them, but I think I recall lots of mentions of Macintosh (IIs in particular, I think?) in the Dirk Gently series.

My dumb guy take on it: suppose we build a human-level AGI and it turns out to be limited by compute and memory. Those being limiting factors don’t seem at all far-fetched to me; it seems unlikely that the first real-time AGI will be mostly

I'd also suggest playing with the setting here if you just want everything to be scaled up a bit: Settings > Display & Brightness > Display Zoom > Larger Text.

It's trite at this point but very apropos: "There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses." — Bjarne Stroustrup (Applies to much more than just languages!)

Cool! One thing Swift is really (maybe uniquely?) strong at is C/C++/Objective-C interop, including mixing "legacy" code with Swift and even replacing it file-by-file with minimal ceremony. Looks like this is aiming to b

Very cool! How is this "turned on"? Compile-time/boot-time option? Or just a matter of having processes running in the system that have requested timeslice/latency guarantees?

Memory safe and, with Swift 6, data race safe.

I mean, I guess! I can’t say I feel damaged by it in the least (rather, enriched!), but I’m sure not every person will have the same experience.

(Not my area of expertise, but I believe this is about accurate with regard to the Apple ecosystem) These were old photos, many taken with older digital cameras and early smartphones, and they worked very well. I believe as long as they&#x2

I had such an emotional experience using the visionOS 2 beta to spatialize old photos. It was already amazing seeing it take a photo from 15 years ago and turn it 3D; but then when I "pinched" into it to make it become immersive a

I've thought for a long time that medicine in the AI era would end up with nurses being even more important than they are today but with doctors being drastically less so. (I know next to nothing about healthcare; this is just a guess!

I think it's very easy to disagree with! If Zuckerberg had his way, mobile device OSes would let Meta ingest microphone and GPS data 24/7 (just like much of the general public already thinks they do because of the effectiveness

My guess would be that quite a large portion of changes we'd expect at a glance to be identical aren't, especially for inputs that would not be expected. I'd also guess this is much more likely in languages in which valid cod

It certainly appears so; every demo they showed makes it very apparent when you’re taking the step of starting to interact with ChatGPT. Starting at 01:36:09: https://www.youtube.com/live/RXeOiIDNNek?si=GZu_U8pFxfhLYCNt

It's very clear when ChatGPT gets involved - you get a prompt asking you if you want to send the query to ChatGPT ("ChatGPT" being referred to by name). There's no feasible way to have your data sent to ChatGPT unintenti

"Swift is too complex now" has seemed to have achieved meme status of late but I don't see it. For the average developer, writing modern Swift is generally not any more difficult than it was several years ago (much more often

I'm not a (direct) user of the C++ interop, but everything I've heard about it has been quite positive. A few hopefully relevant resources, first a couple of videos: - "Introducing a Memory-Safe Successor Language in Large C+
