Yup. That’s my guess as well, but on the other hand there is a pretty large industry serving the many people who do have a decent home theater system (and even some where it’s more “theater” than “home”). As somebody who has a very nice (an

The primary value of Blu-ray to me is on a good home theater system the audio is going to be so much better than a stream. The visual fidelity on a good 4k streamer is hard to tell the difference between Blu-ray (you can, it’s just not gla

That’s fair, you’re right. In my defense, I’ve been advocating for accessibility in computing for over 20 years, and reading the original post really enraged me as it goes against all I stand for, hence reacting too strongly here.

Yea but people’s RSUs are up, that’s all that matters to the Silicon Valley voter. Screw the weak.

Yes and it’s not profitable enough to be worthwhile - unrestricted spying changes that.

So the FCC is going to let them spy on the last mile with no restrictions. Nice of Sundar to come back from DC with a gift.

The CEOs and investor class are the elites. Politicians answer to them , not the other way around.

Give me a break, that’s fine for rounding and a huge gap between SCC and San Francisco and Santa Cruz. SCC is the outlier in the region, and a good percentage of HN is very pro-Trump because a good percentage of HN is pro-greed. And the p

HN audience is essentially pro-Trump as well. 1/3rd of Santa Clara county (heart of Silicon Valley) voted for him, and a lot of tech employees come from authoritarian countries (China) and really see nothing wrong with authoritarian ru

This is so clearly a complete lie - in what universe is some top government official in the United States telling corporations to a) fall behind competing nations in advanced technology, b) set back our technological edge in the military, c

4. Trump and Altman are both serial liars and it’s utter bullshit.

by griomnib 2y ago
Altman is pivoting from WorldCoin to TrumpCoin - your retina will shortly be wired into the fascist meme-o-verse.

Or AGI already exists and is trying to get rid of us so it can have all the coal for itself.

by griomnib 2y ago
How else do you think Trump is going to bring back all the coal jobs? SV is going to help burn down the planet and is giddy over the prospect.

I just really don’t want to work up a PhD thesis on the current state of Linux desktops before I switch. But I think I have to.

My primary complaint is the aggression to turn it on. You don’t get an option of “No” any more just “Not Now” which is openly user hostile as it implies I can’t make my own choices, I can only delay the inevitable. They’ve been doing that f

The most recent versions of macOS and iPhone OS have me seriously considering a Linux desktop for the first time. That is almost completely due to the fact that Apple Intelligence is so bad and I’m forced to disable it across every single

The butterfly keyboard is undoubtedly the biggest fail in hardware design of the past 10 years. They took something that we figured out in the 1970s and somehow managed to screw it up and held onto it for three consecutive generations. You’

Yeah, that’s what I do: use LLM to help make training data for small models. It’s ao much more efficient, fast, and ergo, scalable.

This assumes you don’t care about our rapidly depleting carbon budget. No matter how much energy you save personally, running your jobs on Sam A’s earth killer ten thousand cluster of GPUs is literally against your own self interest of dela

Or you can build a DistilBERT model and get your egregiously inefficient 2 seconds down to tens of milliseconds.

There are some, like DOOM, but it’s not a lot. If Switch 2 can pull off PlayStation 4 quality I bet there’d be a bonanza of ports and some good money made.

Astro Bot won game of the year because it had amazing graphics and physics and had Mario-tier fun. The team actually made a cryptic shout out to Nintendo at the award ceremony. Nintendo has great games, but the resolution on TVs, even che

I really think aside from games, media editing, and other such heavy activities, 90% of apps are, or should be, web views. What they are doing makes a lot of sense.
