Retina is an Apple trademark for a Hi-DPI screen that supports a certain pixel density (PPI) that they dictate.

There are several third-party Hi-DPI displays that meet or exceed the lowest pixel density that Apple calls "Retina".

As another commenter mentioned, use https://www.sven.de/dpi/ and go find a monitor with that resolution and screen size. If you figure around 215 ppi or so, you should be golden.

Be aware that there's more difference than you'd think between relative minor pixel density differences, eg 180 PPI and 218 PPI.

In general, however, truthful and accurate information is more valuable for learning about a topic. I’m not going to rely on getting that from a regime that imprisons people for sharing data and analyses that challenge the regime’s narrative. It’s inherently more untrustworthy than a society that protects free press.

When these regimes target their media for foreign audiences like you and me, it’s in their best interest to mask the origin of that content. Becoming more informed becomes harder when this context is unavailable to us.

Ranking those sources lower specifically improves the end product and results in a better informed user.

Are transformers competitive with (for example) CNNs on vision-related tasks when there's less data available? I'm not that familiar with "injecting inductive bias" via positional encodings, but it sounds really interesting. My crude understanding is that the positional encodings were used in the original Transformer architecture to encode the ordering of words for NLP. Are they more flexible then that? For example, can they be used to replicate the image-related inductive bias of CNNs and match CNN performance on small datasets (1000 - 10,000)?

If not, then to me, it seems like only industries where it's possible to get access to a large amount of representative data (i.e. greater than a million?) benefit from transformers. In industries where there are bottlenecks to data generation, there's a clear benefit in leveraging the inductive bias in other architectures, such as the various ways CNNs have biases towards image recognition.

I'm in an industry (building energy consumption prediction) where we can only generate around 10,000 to 100,000 datapoints (from simulation engines) for DL. Are transformers ever used with that scale of data?

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think deepfakes could be a very good thing for society. Imagine if we got to the point where it was completely impossible to distinguish fake images and videos from real ones. It would be a huge blow against surveillance capitalism and the surveillance state.

If every video out there is suddenly a potential forgery, people will grow to become more skeptical of things they see unless they see those things in person in the meatspace.

It's almost as if we're going to go back to the time before cameras and audio recordings. What makes things like deepfakes so scary right now is that people overwhelming trust images and videos by default. Once we shift from automatically trusting images and videos to automatically distrusting them, things like revenge porn and viral videos of people saying or doing embarrassing things will lose most of their power.

To those wondering why lab-grown meat instead of going vegan:

People are driven by incentives. People like meat, so instead of asking them to stop eating meat, which most won't do, make it a better option that fits with whatever the asker's goals are. In this case, you'd want people to care about animals or decrease environmental effects, so the way to do that while also considering people's incentives of loving meat is to have lab grown meat, or something close enough like plant-based meat substitutes that taste like meat.

You will never get anything done by appealing to individuals to change their habits wholesale, that's just not going to happen, people are too entrenched in their defaults. You have to appeal to people's wants and desires and bend them towards your own goals. Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat (and now Micro Meat, etc) have got it spot on: economically target the incentives of wanting to eat meat but make them out of non-sentient substances like plants or bacteria growing muscle cells.

That people still consider that everyone will go vegan or stop eating meat altogether is a fantastical view of the world, it has no basis in true reality. There will be more people contributing towards the lessening of the suffering of animals in the next few years via eating these non-sentient substitutes than has ever been achieved in the last century of the modern vegan movement, simply because it seems now finally that larger human incentives are being targeted directly, which is much likelier to effect change than individualistic pandering.

I've been doing .NET development for 14 years now and still enjoy it. C# is an evolving language and now that .NET is an open source cross-platform framework it's even easier to work with it.

I've mostly worked at SaaS startup companies, not quite line of business apps so still a good amount of challenge. I'd take the fullstack .NET position personally, I find mobile development to be most frustrating than web development.

I think you're conflating "large coordinated action" with "the Internet." They look similar, but it's more that a critical mass of not-Russia is deciding to stand up to Russia because Russia's political action in this situation is some seriously beyond-the-pale early-20th-century war of conquest stuff.

There is some consolidation happening (mostly around the fact that a lot of the companies we regularly use are "Western" and most of the governments of the West have imposed sanctions on Russia that those companies have to comply with), but it's also a that the meme has taken hold that (a) Russia deserves to be opposed and (b) sanctions and cutting-off are an effective way to oppose them.

The person who was compared to Lindsey Graham.
Exactly. The whole system seems hilariously naïve if you have any real-world driving experience in the bay area.

I drove 205/580->680->880->237 daily for years, one of the first express corridors. People constantly crossing over the double-white line, intentionally exiting the lane at each transponder to skip tolls, driving on the shoulder, driving past a huge line of cars so they can bully their way in at the last moment. CHP seems to let most of that slide - they're busy with the massive accidents that constantly result.

I highly doubt they're going to care about 1 vs 2 vs 3, and I feel for them if they're expected to.
I was under the assumption that HOV lanes cannot be crossed over (double or single white lines) while carpools are dotted and are open to traffic flowing in and out.

Of course you can only use it as an overtake lane in none-carpool hours, but now that’s not even an option.
> All of these involve finding more and more people to invest so that early investors can exit.

> No matter the scheme, you will always run out of greater fools, and so it must collapse eventually.

That depends on how you define "collapse". After a pump and dump, a stock might crash to zero, or settle back to where it was, or even settle back to a higher number than it was originally at. It doesn't require a particularly large supply of fools, and it only requires them for a small amount of time. And it doesn't have to move the stock price by a huge percentage either.

Show HN: Prepform – AI and spaced-repetition to optimize learning
Hi, I'm Eric and I'm the founder and lead developer of Prepform.

A high-quality education helped me pursue my interests and achieve my goals. I started Prepform so students of all backgrounds have access to the same kind of education.

I grew up in Southern California, surrounded by dozens of SAT prep programs, and I swear I must have gone to all of them. Different programs followed different styles and techniques, but the strategy they shared was to create a study plan and review mistakes.

A study plan is
taking a diagnostic test,

setting a target score,

creating a study schedule,

identifying mistakes, and finally

reviewing those mistakes.

I wanted to take this structure and optimize it with machine learning, while accounting for elements of human learning and memory.
I'm a big fan of SuperMemo, a memorization technique developed by Piotr Wozniak, where you review material just as you're about to forget it. Cognitive psychology tells us human forgetting follows a pattern, but Piotr quantified this behavior to identify the precise moment forgetting happens.

The goal was to build on his research with AI and tailor it to not only test prep but to the individual student, and make it the engine of the study plan.

The result is Blended Prep, which guides students to internalize knowledge rather than memorize material, and gives them the best chance to ace their next exam.

I'm so excited to share this with the HN community, and would love to know what you think. You can try it out at https://prepform.com. Thanks for reading.
> It’s also difficult to get a 6 cylinder engine compared to the past.

Most of the V6's of the past were also garbage, so no loss there.

But there are still quite a few 6 cylinders out there, they just aren't necessarily cheap. Mercedes has a 3.0L V6 they love to stick in all their "midrange" AMGs for example (C43, GLC43, etc..), BMW still likes their I6 in for example the M3, Z4, and Toyota Supra. And of course Porsche still loves that flat 6 in the 911. There's also still a V6 for the Camry and a V6 Camaro among a few others.

What did mostly die is the "V6" as a generic "more power" upgrade for things like the Accord or most other midrange, midsize sedans. But the modern turbo I4s are so much better than those were, so it's not really a loss. And there's plenty of affordable V8s that are just fantastic as well.
Ask HN: How to quickly animate system sketches and 2D diagrams?
I'm using Mermaid, Excalidraw and PlantUML diagrams to explain and document what I'm working on and they work great and are a lot better than screens of prose, but I've become aware that something is missing: motion.

Animation brings a whole lot more to explanations, making simple explanations of how request coalescing works easy to understand, token simulations [0] through to helping explain concepts like Fresnel lenses [1]. Embedding them into GitHub READMEs, tweets and documentation would be awesome.

Google do it to illustrate posts (e.g. https://blog.chromium.org/2021/03/a-safer-default-for-naviga...).

I found Excalidraw Claymate [2] but the stop motion approach with no tweening support makes it painful to create animations where circles move from place to place. There's also Manim [3] but I think this is more for maths.

Adobe Flash used to be the go-to; what do you reach for when you want to illustrate a concept with an animated diagram?

It is justified fear based on the statistical disparity of HIV and sexual orientation.

Recent declamations from climate science - particularly the UN report - give the strong impression that “reducing [our energy supply’s] carbon footprint” does not match the urgency of the crisis.

Most economic and geopolitical boons promised by this proposal are also obtainable by dramatically increasing investment in and adoption of carbonless energy (nuclear, ‘green’).

Moreover these technologies would free future generations from geopolitical imperatives arising from control and transport of oil and gas. Over the long term, I expect North America is no less likely to suffer instability on this count than Eurasia has proven.

This is what I did 2-4 years ago... then it started going down by a lot so I cashed out. I actually did lose. Not THAT much, thankfully.
I feel like a simpler system would be to just charge the same for vehicles using these lanes regardless of occupants. A higher cost will incentivize more occupants anyway. Of course in that system there would be no HOV lane incentive to drive electric vehicles, but so what? They have already been subsidized through tax breaks and we could always incentivize them further by increasing gas taxes. It just seems to me that a system like this is trying to incentivize different things and letting enforcement get to complicated. Just keep it simple and it won't be so bad. I think the point of these lanes should be to improve traffic flow by increasing the number of occupants in the cars. Electric vehicles simply do not achieve that.

That said in a way I don't think this system is too terrible. It's a little funny, but it's at least fairly simple. But it requires enforcement. I've done a lot of driving throughout California recently and it seems like half the people in carpool lanes shouldn't be there. And apparently I'm the last person in the state that doesn't roll across the solid double lanes whenever I feel like it. Never have I seen a cop care about this stuff.
Speaking as someone with 14 years of .NET development, who's also managed full stack and mobile teams, I don't think you can go wrong with either. Honestly, you should do both in your career. You'll learn different things with each of them.
Thanks DDG, time to try a different search engine. I was always doing !g anyway.
The main advantage of pay lanes is that they're fast, and can handle a lot of traffic.

With a price, supply and demand can meet where traffic isn't jammed into standstill, and everyone is better off.

Sure, it would make sense for the money to go to road maintenance, but to me that's a minor issue.

But it's still water, and it's still moving up and about of its own accord in the local air which is the point. That it isn't technically steam doesn't disprove the point the person you're responding to is trying to make…

The commenter's point isn't that the lead has technically been boiled, it's that, if we analogize to "steam" in a shower, I don't have to reach water's boiling point before I'm breathing in water. Does that translate to lead: i.e., even if I'm below lead's boiling point, could I be nonetheless breathing in lead vapor, or something like that? (I don't know the answer here, which would push me towards lead-free solder. I.e., I don't know if the precautions I'd take with lead would actually suffice.)
