Technically, then, that display is like OLED TVs pre-2018, which could only display about 70-85% of P3 wide gamut because they could not go bright enough across the entire display. They were amazingly bright if a small part of the panel nee

To clarify slightly - the max brightness is the real feature, and everything else including more bits per channel is just a bonus used to describe colours that are dimmer or brighter in more detail than was possible before. Essentially more

I should clarify, I'm speaking from experience, having built a 9900K system on top of an ASRock mATX board. The water cooling barely fit, and it pumps out heat like no tomorrow. Still, it's undeniably tiny and I irrationally love

The above is "an emotional, illogical argument". The logical argument is that a burden paid by all is sometimes necessary when there are significant risks. This article goes to many lengths to visualize the risks in examples with

Highlights how hands off Reddit generally was until now that while we say “Twitter” vs “on Twitter” or “YouTube” vs “YouTuber”, until now we rarely distinguished between “Reddit” and “on Reddit”. Reddit was an invisible benefactor until it

Adblock Plus like many adblockers gets industry funding for a whitelist of “acceptable ads”. uBlock Origin, 1Blocker, NextDNS, ControlD, and sometimes AdGuard tend to block more. The DNS adblock options are particularly interesting as they

I think the problem is the plural. You could convincingly say that 24 is _an_ order of magnitude bigger than 4, even if technically log(24) is 1.38 … it’s a close enough approximation.

Re trucks beeping - that’s partly legal responsibility isn’t it? I mean, we have had the ability for trucks to beep as they back up for far longer than we have had the ability for them to realistically have functioning rear view cameras. An

Legal, translation and limiting demand to a reasonable level with rolling release to other markets in future? That said, I also find it somewhat unfair, as likely does anyone not in the US :)

Yeah, that was my thought too. It felt far too direct and oddly intimate in what it cited and quoted. I asked ChatGPT to write a generic obituary in an NYT style and it came back with things like, “As news of [Name]'s untimely death sp

Sort of. The problem with most integrated GPUs is that they don’t have as many dedicated processing cores and the RAM, shared with the system, is often slower than on dedicated graphics cards. Also… with the exception of system on a chip de

It’s like a database, I imagine - so the answer is probably “unlikely,” that you need memory per-request but instead that you run out of cores to handle requests? You need to load the data so the graphics cards - where the compute is - can
