Are these made by Spotify themselves so they don’t have to pay artists?

You’re arguing for a reduction in quality in internet services. People do notice those things. It’s like claiming people don’t care about slimmer iPhones. They do.

The cost for interactive video would be a requirement of 10x bandwidth, basically to cover idle time. Not efficient but not impossible, and definitely wouldn’t change ISP business models. The latency benefit would outweigh the cost. Just ab

I agree that advancements like DeepSeek, like transformer models before it, is just going to end up increasing demand. It’s very shortsighted to think we’re going to need fewer chips because the algorithms got better. The system became more

I worked on a network that used a protocol very similar to ATM (actually it was the first Iridium satellite network). An internet based on ATM would have been amazing. You’re basically guaranteeing a virtual switched circuit, instead of the

Not even. Instagram photos are roughly 50kb-200kb for jpg’s.

Django with SaaSPegasus. Lots of control over the interactivity of the site, due to fine-grained data modeling.

What kind of data would a native app collect that the web wouldn’t? Seems like all the important advertiser-relevant demographic data is in the user account itself, not the platform. Whether you’re interested in snowmobiles or baby diapers

Apple still allows Web Apps to be downloaded and installed on the Home Screen. Probably a good time for ByteDance to implement that.

Have they built their own ASICs for inference like Google and Microsoft have? Or are they using NVIDIA chips exclusively for inference as well?

So is TikTok not going to bother with a WebApp that connects to non-US servers? Is the web capable of all native app functions yet? What’s missing?

Yes, people believe that, because that’s what scientific polling states. Wow. You may not agree with the 10% of the population that sides with Hamas, but that’s enough to cause an election to flip from Democrat to Republican or Independent,

The actual senators that wrote the legislation publicly stated TikTok was banned because of Israel. I get that Zionists don’t want that reason stated publicly, hoping to blame China instead, but it’s out there now.

That’s not now policy works in the US. We aren’t a direct democracy. Policy proposals don’t require “most Americans” to care about it. It only requires most LEGISLATORS to care. And legislators have zero requirement to explain to the public

Yes Hamas exists to remove the foreign attackers. That’s why the world supports them. Thanks.

The free stuff is junk. Anything worthwhile you will need to pay for. People don’t want to work for free, regardless of how little you value their time. As always, you get what you pay for.

So you have more effective advertising? Oh, you thought people were gonna make websites for free?

Name calling really isnt the convincing argument you think it is. I would suggest you look at polls showing the vast majority of the world being against the existence of the state of Israel, and then decide who is “insane”. The world doesn’

Sorta. If you subdivide an area into more pixels you get lower dynamic range for each pixel, but you can average across multiple pixels to gain back the some of the dynamic range.

It’s usually because the system font is ugly, causing your fashion website to lose sales because it doesn’t match the style you’re selling. The style IS the message.

I actually used to design image sensor chips. The dynamic range is due to the electron well size. Each pixel has a diode that stores typically between 10,000-100,000 electrons in them. When the shutter is open, each photon that arrives push

It’s because designer know what you like better than you know yourself. They get paid to know you. Never let the user design their own interfaces. Users have absolutely no idea what they’re doing.

Unless you’re in fashion, you likely won’t. In fashion (and a lot of other fields), the style IS the message.

The console appears to be a little bit bigger, which would help the ergonomics of the joy-cons if they’re bigger.

There really should be a set of a few hundred fonts standardized by the w3c or whatwg that should come with every browser (and OS) install. This would be like how early versions of PostScript came with about 30 standard fonts available to a

Yes. Those specific people that killed militants and reservists dancing next to a concentration camp are the good guys. It’s very white-Eurocentric to think of Hamas as the bad guys. The vast majority of the Mideast don’t believr they are O

It’s because Israel have been worse. Remember that Israel literally threw children in ovens in the Deir Yassin massacre for its founding. It’s very white-Eurocentric to think of Hamas as the bad guys. The vast majority of the Mideast believ

I wish the cameras used film like NASA did for Saturn V. The digital cameras used on these launches basically show a white blob with no detail due to digital cameras having such low dynamic range compared to film. And this is made worse wit

The NYTimes widely referenced but debunked story “Screams without words” about alleged rapes on October 7 was co-authored by a literal IDF intelligence agent. Also the Atlantic Editor-in-Chief is IDF. More importantly, why are there so few
