“In consumer products, 2560 × 1440 (1440p) is sometimes referred to as 2K,[13] but it and similar formats are more traditionally categorized as 2.5K resolutions.”
Photography is among the lower forms (if not the lowest) of artistic expression on account of how it captures the "exactitude" of a subject's matter. It's no surprise to me that people are shunning high quality images and embracing the imperfections of older devices to capture a semblance of the quirks and personalities that make humans who they are and consequently what makes "Art" art.
That is EXTREMELY interesting to this retired anesthesiologist who up to your comment/quotation believed ALL foreign bodies lodged in the right main stem bronchus due to its more vertical orientation.

40 years ago this month, in the journal Anesthesiology, my colleagues and I published a paper describing how a detached fiberoptic light bulb ended up in the right main stem bronchus.

Picture here: https://pubs.asahq.org/anesthesiology/article/61/6/780/28432...
1440p is colloquially referred to as 2.5K, not 2K.
it's interesting that very few people would admit this, that society is founded upon violence.
Probably not billions. Each person (at a 40-hour workweek) works about 2000 hours a year. V8 has been around for about 16 years. 1 billion hours would mean (1 billion / (16*2000)) = 31,250 people full-time on V8 optimization. A google search seems to suggest that the actual headcount for the full V8 team (not just the optimization team) is probably in the 3-digits.
I'm not surprised at all about having to use an old computer to get this thing to work. This will become the norm with scanners unless someone with more money than sense decides to enter the market.

Nearly all of the good consumer-grade scanners (i.e. those that use CCD sensors) are out of production and use software that is no longer maintained. The main market for scanners has become receipts, which has lead to a switch to cheap CIS sensors since quality no longer matters.

Outside of expensive specialized scanners, the Epson V600 is pretty much the only scanner in production still using a CCD sensor and it came out in 2009. It has nearly doubled in price over its lifetime to $350 due to lack of competition and I presume inflation. It is the de facto scanner used in the trading card world because of the output quality and ability to create templates within the software (I 3D printed my own brackets to be able to scan/crop 4 cards at a time perfectly every time). But last I checked MacOS support is pretty much gone and even Windows is barely tolerable. Its days are probably numbered, too.
Based on the reviews, it seems a lot of purchases are grandparents thinking they’re getting their grandkids the same thing they played with…
Can you link me to a viable/real world kernel rewritten in Rust? One that supports modern hardware? I am not talking about implementing a toy kernel here.
> the options were less intuitive and the GUI was ugly

Oh I see you tried our enterprise software. Welcome!

VMware is bananas. One console runs thousands of VMs across hundreds of physicals in dozens of data centres. VMs can, and do, move around at will thanks to vMotion. Need to upgrade this physical host? Just vMotion its guests somewhere else.

Oh and it’ll replicate all of this for you, live. So if one half of your data hall goes down, it doesn’t matter.* Your users don’t even notice.

And many, many other features that Virtualbox can’t touch.

(*Well, someone like me is having a bad day, but you know.)
Landslide refers to the margin of the victory, not whether the popular vote is won or not. This was a close election, relatively speaking, and the red team didn't achieve a landslide victory.
Actual use is inconsistent. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2K_resolution: “In consumer products, 2560 × 1440 (1440p) is sometimes referred to as 2K, but it and similar formats are more traditionally categorized as 2.5K resolutions.”

“2K” is used to denote WQHD often enough, whereas 1080p is usually called that, if not “FHD”.

“2K” being used to denote resolutions lower than WQHD is really only a thing for the 2048 cinema resolutions, not for FHD.
CHM has been my favorite to visit every time I'm in the area. I do wish they would have more modern stuff though. Especially the period between 90s to 2010s. There are some parts (first iPhone, Palm Pilot), but I wish they would continue because the internet age has been incredibly important.
Ha!

I asked my wife to buy me a new Polaroid for Christmas. And bought two 35mm film cameras in the last year.

I got "tired" of the perfect reproduction offered by my digital cameras. Along with the less-perfect reproduction, the delayed gratification and higher cost/shot has brought some pleasure back to taking photos. Even the shots that look straight out of a late-80s family photo album bring me more joy than pixel-perfect shots.

FWIW, I'm 48, so grew up using mostly 35mm disposables or cheap P&S. By the time I was post-college, it was early digital P&Ss and an early Canon Rebel.
No one is running LLMs on consumer NVidia GPUs or apple MacBooks.

A dev, if they want to run local models, probably run something which just fits on a proper GPU. For everything else, everyone uses an API key from whatever because its fundamentaly faster.

IF a affordable intel GPU would be relevant faster for inferencing, is not clear at all.

A 4090 is at least double the speed of Apples GPU.
Nothing in my comment says about pricing it at the M4 Max level. Apple charges as much because they can (typing this on an $8000 M3 Max). 128GB LPDDR5 is dirt cheap these days just Apple adds its premium because they like to. Nothing prevents Intel from releasing a basic GPU with that much RAM for under $1k.
In terms of computing (one that we do not understand), it would be like cloning a live machine by taking the CPU dye only, or maybe the hard drive. How many parts you need to take away from a computer for it to be the same machine? It's easy though with a VM, or a kernel that supports many hardware. Kind of a digress, but I liked this idea.
In my state (Washington) there is no record of rabies in terrestrial wild mammals. It's only been found in bats and domestic animals.

Here's a document of animals tested for rabies from 1988 to 2023 [1], and only 4 cases were not in bats. 2 in cats, 1 in a horse, and 1 in a llama.

Nevertheless there are always people freaking out on NextDoor when they see a raccoon.

I wasn't trying to contradict that
That would basically mean Intel doubling the size of their current GPU die, with a different memory PHY. They're clearly not ready to make that an affordable card. Maybe when they get around to making a chiplet-based GPU.
I'm certain immortality is possible, and it's also likely to be achieved, because we always do everything we can do, regardless of consequences.

But I think this is the acme of selfishness. I don't want to be immortal, and I wouldn't want to live in a world with 500-year-old know-it-alls running around "oldsplaining" everything to everyone else.

I have, thankfully, a fairly good chance of dying before that happens.
That's interesting. I wonder if there's an existing name for this phenomenon.

I'm just going to drop a casual shout-out to jujutsu[1]. It elegantly solves things like rebase/merge conflicts (and solves a lot of other sharp edges in git at the same time). It eliminates the need for WIP commits, stashing, and a host of other workflow bandaids we’ve all internalized. Best of all, it’s 100% git-compatible, so you can mix and match jj and git commands whenever needed, your coworkers never need know you're using something else, and even if it never gain critical mass you can still just use it and have superpowers while everyone else lives in the metaphorical stone age.

It is one of those rare birds that is both more powerful than the tool that it replaces while also being drastically easier to use. I am (was?) a git power user. It took me all of a day to replace git with jj and generously the rest of the week to become essentially as fluent. I will never go back.

The future never arrives in an evenly distributed fashion, but it reaches everyone eventually.
That's much scarier to me.
It's also impossible and it would need to be a CPU.

CPUs and GPUs access memory very differently.
Absolutely. By "and lesser powered ones for gaming" I meant purchase.

Most people don't understand URLs.

Remember that Google was (is?) trying to remove the URL bar. Not just because it reinforces search as the main product and gateway to the web, but also because URLs are kind of hard for most people.

Which brings us to the original argument: is this a reason to ban gTLDs? Surely the cost of banning gTLDs outweighs the enormous benefits of making it easy for society's productive users to find names they like.

We also shouldn't discount the incredible benefit of having additional namespaces and markets positioned against domain name squatters. gTLDs linearly increase the costs to squatters. Good names can be found with lots of alternative gTLD offerings, which greatly increases the supply side for builders and entrepreneurs.

Ultimately gTLDs probably won't be banned simply because there's money to be made by the ICANN and registrars.
For the past 4 years, most objections to HTMX have come in the form of your comment. A look from afar, trying to speculate on what development must be like.

After 4 years of mature devs taking it for a spin and reporting back with a thumb up, maybe it's best to try to actually use it in a project of your own and see how close your predictions match reality.

Perhaps you even have experience with it of course. In which case, it'd be interesting/useful to voice your objections more specifically.
AI Ticket Formatting Tool to help devs not waste time
I work on my company's internal resources software (our intranet) as a dev. Employees within the company enter help tickets when something goes wrong. These tickets are often extremely vague and require follow-up. It seems no matter how meticulously we setup a form to eliminate this follow up, the tickets are still vague enough to require follow up in every case.

I just want to be able to receive a ticket and then have a really good idea of how to solve it. To do this, I'm thinking of building an AI chat bot that will eliminate as much follow up as possible so that when an employee makes a really vague ticket, the ai chat bot responds by asking them to provide specific steps to replicate and etc.

At the end of the day I get a cleanly formatted and specific ticket automatically posted to Jira that I can work on.

Feel free to roast/destroy this idea reddit-style, but if you think it has potential, I'd love to know that too! Perhaps some of you are already doing this.
Many people end their life when they find it's too painful to live. Many more wish they could -- the debate around end-of-life issues is raging in many countries.
This is the best question here. The FTC can still make and enforce regulations. But the regulatees can now take those enforecements to federal judges who may modify or vacate the enforcement action, or even the regulation itself.

The loss of chevron does not end regulation. It creates a morass of inconsistent and inexpert judicial inturpretations. It was the worst supreme court decision in decades.

Can it compete with the massive used GPU market though? Why buy a new Intel card when I can get a used Nvidia card that I know will work well?
Elm was a pretty noble attempt—all things considered.
Yes that is completely normal and the my younger relatives would not even think twice.

In the TikTok and Instagram community people are spending billions not only on random domains (like tiedyeshirts.xyz) but often to venmo or zelle listed on profiles. My sister and thousands like her send money to faceless profiles to buy mystery boxes.
Intel isn't going anywhere for at least a couple of hardware genrations. Buying a GPU is also not "investing" in anything. In 2 years' time you can replace it whith whatever is best value for money at that time.
https://artificialanalysis.ai/leaderboards/models seems to suggest Nova Lite is half the price of 4o-mini, and a chunk faster too, with a bit of quality drop-off. I have no loyalty to OpenAI, if it does as well as 4o-mini in the eval suite, I'll switch. I was hoping "Gemini 1.5 Flash (Sep)" would pass muster for similar reasons, but it didn't.
Customers want choices. They just sell all models.
Cabo Verde's Potential for Innovation Through Drone Tech and Renewable Energy
Lcamtuf, the creator of afl shares the same opinion… I linked to his Substack in my original comment. Give that a read. My main point is over emphasis on memory safety doesn’t seem to pay off when there are lower hanging fruits on most large networks.. obviously I want memory safety, but that’s irrelevant when there are easier attack vectors still open.
I'd love to learn more about how your 2 day implementation did fillText (incl full unicode rendering, proper text shaping etc)
Oh wow. That's older than I thought. This is definitely less of an issue than folks make out of it.

I cling onto my old hardware to limit ewaste where I can. I still gave up on my old sandybridge machine once it hit about a decade old. Not only would the CPU have trouble keeping up, its mostly only PCIe 2.0. A few had 3.0. You wouldn't get the full potential even out of the cheapest one of these intel cards. If you are putting a GPU in a system like that I can't imagine even buying new. Just get something used off ebay.
Maybe that's not too bad for someone who wants to use pre-existing models. Their AI Playground examples require at minimum an Intel Core Ultra H CPU, which is quite low-powered compared to even these dedicated GPUs: https://github.com/intel/AI-Playground
It'd be pretty weird if it were called 2k. 1080p is in an absolute sense or as a relative "distance" to the next-lowest thousand closer to 2k pixels of width than 4k is to 4k (both are under, of course, but one's under by 80 pixels, one by 160). It's got a much better claim to the label 2k than 1440p does, and arguably a somewhat better claim to 2k than 4k has to 4k.

[EDIT] I mean, of course, 1080p's also not typically called that, yet another resolution is, but labeling 1440p 2k is especially far off.
I feel like you could totally emulate though, with enough effort
It's actually more recent than I thought, looks like it was 2018. I would have sworn it was earlier but I can see the "sent" timestamp on ProtonMail.
What this guy is pushing is far more in agreement with US administration policy than what the opposition supports. The problem is that the South Korean population doesn't support what either he or the US want. For example, the SK population (and recent presidents) have far more of a peaceful attitude towards the north than is tolerable for the US. As an example, when polled on supporting Ukraine (after the rumors that NK is sending support to Russia), South Koreans are 82% against it.

Anyone using Intel graphics cards? Aside from specs drivers and support can make or break the value prop of a gfx card. Would be curious what actually using is these is like.
Since most people pay with cards these days [citation needed], it seems like it would go over much better if the 3% processing cost were built into the normal price, and then you offered a 3% discount (or 2.91% for you pedants out there) for people paying in cash. The card users don't feel like they're being nickel-and-dimed, and the cash users feel like they're being treated specially.
None of the store links work. Weird. Is this not supposed to be a public page yet?
Alright so I exaggerated a bit for sure. But I am seeing way too much “Rust in the silver bullet” nonsense…
Show HN: I built an audience intelligence platform for Reddit data
> upscaling is absolutely vital for a reasonable experience on some games

This strikes me as a bit of a sad state of affairs. We've moved beyond a Parkinson's law of computational resources –usage by games expands to fill the available resources– to resource usage expanding to fill the available resources on the highest end machines unavailable for less than a few thousand dollars... and then using that to train a model to simulate by upscaling higher quality or performance on lower end machines.

A counterargument would be that this makes high-end experiences available to more people, and while in the individual case, I don't buy that that's where the incentives it creates are driving the entire industry.

To put a finer point on it: at what percentage of budget is too much money being spent on producing assets?
I have never seen 2.5k used in the wild (gamer forums etc) so it can't be that colloquial.
Hey HN,

A few months ago I built a web scraper to analyze reddit posts for side project ideas.

I decided to double down on finding insights from reddit, and build an entire platform for exploring insights from reddit data

I use a combination of LLMs for semantic metadata extraction, topic analysis / clustering, semantic analysis, and custom classifiers to derive insights from.

I hope a few of you may find this useful, would appreciate any feedback

Do memories and/or brain functionality rely on volatile storage? So if you die, that storage is gone.

How our brain works may rely on more than the structure of the brain. When you are brought back (booted?), things may not work the same.

I think a lot of people would reject any dynamically typed language at this stage.
Would it though? How many people are running inference at home? Outside of enthusiasts I don't know anyone. Even companies don't self-host models and prefer to use APIs. Not that I wouldn't like a consumer GPU with tons of VRAM, but I think that the market for it is quite small for companies to invest building it. If you bother to look at Steam's hardware stats you'll notice that only a small percentage is using high-end cards.
