Not the person you’re replying to, but better speed of thought at higher brightness levels. Sounds ridiculous, but it is so apparent in me that I even have a 20ms delta in simple response time between 300 nits and 200 nits in a moderately l

Problem with OLED is the 240hz PWM, which is present in the AERO as well. For instance, on my iPhone 13 Pro, I can see the on-off-on-off clearly once I’m below 20% brightness. The eye strain of oled is terribly annoying. I agree with you on

Getting a certain volume of publications out. It can be problematic for example when you discover a minor data issue which might not materially change the thesis in your opinion, but if one were wholly following academic guidelines, would w

Is it unnecessarily complicated though? I feel like while “stop paying more” should be an easy process, “permanently lose access to a thing I already paid for” should be difficult in order to guard against unexpected things, since it is a p

I feel like academica kind of incentivizes this. It’s hard to resist without a good base of support, and I feel like having such a base isn’t the average. I notice this pressure felt strongly across the board by my friends who are adjuncts

Keep in mind that boosters are now considered only good for 6 months, so depending on your definition of “the next few years”, you may be exposed to many times more spike protein load via the vaccine route. Anyways, I have no horse in this

What’s your argument for it, if I may ask? I cannot convince myself that abortion is a judicial matter as opposed to a legislative one. If it’s an innate right, there shouldn’t be any issue aborting an 8 month old fetus.

I am vaxed but… this reminds of the abortion argument. If one is against allowing someone right to bodily autonomy (remain unvaccinated) because then exercising that right could lead to the suffering and/or death of another, then that

Bad response times plague the mobile space too. Just look at the new MBP with its 120hz display that has >40ms latency. But Mac displays, though looking gorgeous, have always had latency that was heavily perceptible. Is there even a main

I have a nice monitor setup, but I am now ok on my MBP 16” alone, if necessary, when coding ever since I switched my coding font to Pragmata Pro for increased horizontal density so that I can do side-by-side with comfort.

I’ll be damned, I just tried that and it was exceptionally easier to do in Mandarin, a language that I have to think to count in, than in English.

There is no current interest by anyone in destroying science telescope rather than spy telescopes. Also, the JWT is at L2, 1.5m km from earth, whereas ASAT tests generally occur in LEO. Cosmos 1408 as you mention orbited at around 500km. Al

Only true if you are not playing esports games and trying to push maximum frame rate, such as for a 360hz display, or one of the upcoming 480hz ones. Fwiw my simple reaction time is 220ms on a basic 60hz display vs 170ms on a top end 360hz,

Hardly a minority of students. The year before the pandemic, 77% of college applicants took the SAT or ACT. That was 2019-20, after colleges had starting going whatever you want to call not requiring standardized tests. https://w

I don’t know about the ACT, but the SAT in that time period was trivial to study for. I had one Barrons book, and the rest was accomplished by being a student in a public school. There were no surprises come test day. I genuinely don’t unde

And dumb messaging such as telling people masks are ineffective and shouldn’t be worn by ordinary people. I hope the important stuff is handled with more consideration than the way the pandemic has been handled. Specifically, hopefully the

Your comment on file uploads in PHP reminded me of the remote code execution via automatic file metadata parsing vulnerability built into PHP that happened a couple years ago.

How would you spot that one? It would appear to them to be traffic coming from their TV, and you wouldn't see anything on your own net. Unless that's similar to how hotspotting works, where the TTL is different. Also, isn't w

One wonders if the concept of language 70kya was sufficiently advanced for you to transmit ideas beyond the immediate and concrete. I wouldn’t be surprised if you’d have better luck with water wheels than animal domestication, despite the l

I prefer typing over slack because it’s easier to be rigorous and concise in exposition in writing than it is when speaking (you can’t erase what you already said without breaking a train of thought). Writing can be consumed at the consumer

Hmm didn’t know they use the same rendering engine, but the success rate is not the same. The Google Sheets app is a no-go because it kept using stale data for some reason. The sheets are regularly updated via script, and the app would cons

When you say that the amount we do now know is staggering, do you mean the amount we do not know? The rest of your post suggests the latter, which is somewhat an antonym of what was actually written.

There are theories. Such as the discrepancy being due to sterile neutrinos (also explaining dark matter). Confirming or rejecting through data is currently underway, is not at six sigma, and won’t be for years due to rareness and difficulty
