Pixel response time is a related concept to framerate but more about how long it takes a pixel to change from one color to the next. Usually measured in cycle time from grey to gre…

I've had it refuse to help build an image classifier ml pipeline, pretty innocuous stuff. Got around it eventually but still it's a very dumb constraint to add to an otherwise very…

Does SB478 apply to car dealerships? That would be a huge boon to consumers on its own.

Sit on a patent and try to scrape earnings from others, maybe? That is, license or litigate.

This was (I thought) very obvious sarcasm, the man is an easily manipulated buffoon.

Yeah, I have to imagine Donald Trump has better intel and is making wise, measured, well-informed decisions beyond the abilities of your average HNer.

Seems to have ingested some non-paintings as well :) https://rothko.joonas.wtf/images/rothko-chapel-1967.jpg Cool project, would make a good variable display in the home maybe; wea…

This sounds like an investment that didn't pan out - I've had one or two of those myself, never pleasant. But are they providing housing? I guess in my mind the builders, equity in…

In what sense are landlords "providing" housing? Is there an argument around like, stabilizing a demand floor for new construction or something, or is this one of those weird in-gr…

What we're doing to the Cuban people with this blockade is criminal. I don't expect to see justice in my lifetime. What a miserable state of affairs.

Na it's great stay broke Edit: and mad

It was expensive but every day I am happy with my Rivian purchase. Great to have a vehicle where the actual users are obviously thought of (contra for instance the cybertruck where…

There is so much misinformation in here, so densely packed. Ivanpah is is not the largest solar power plant in California. It's an experimental solar-thermal plant. Talking about m…

Sure, https://iabtechlab.com/standards/openrtb/ There's a standardized, normal (in adtech) approach to building 'creative's (viewed/seen ads) around context-dependent scenarios. It…

It's not an issue of how - there's a great ADM with markup/down supported already, waiting for system prompts to be injected in realtime via the same online auction system that pow…

To use agentic what ? Off topic as heck but I really dislike this trend of coercing adjectives into true nominals - we're using programmatic! - like some sort of even-more-obnoxiou…

In my experience, rate limits are more often per second. It's easy to talk about kilo or mega-units, so this isn't as big an issue as the awkwardness of talking about very very low…

Hard to talk about favorites in books, but there was a solid decade of my life where I'd have probably said this was my favorite sci fi book. Highly recommend to anyone reading thi…

Weird, from the outside it seems like bombing civilians and infrastructure is more inflammatory and antagonizing than some words/propaganda.

I was thinking something 2- or 4-player, but that's cool.

Yeah I was hoping for a multiplayer goldfish-style experience, maybe something like tabletop simulator. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but this doesn't seem to be any better than the bui…

The above claim was that Iran had attacked with thousands of rockets. These are from Hamas.

I can't find sources for "tens of thousands of rockets just since oct 7", can you help me? I see a few thousand as parts of exchanges after the Israel-initiated "12 Days War", and …

Two things to note there. One, many did make a peep; I have friends, coworkers who both ardently discussed and even pointlessly protested in small groups with signs. The other - I …

Ads? It's not great for users but it's decent monetization. If you really have something good, like actually liked, you can do a donation vs ad-supported model.
