The one unfortunate thing is that this monitor seems to have a glossy screen, not matte, but maybe that's an additional layer over a dev kit?
If this truly is 'open', then it should be trivial to write special X11/Wayland drivers for it, to handle a lot of the ghosting issues at that end. I think Boox actually refreshes portions of screens, and a double or triple video buffer in X/Wayland could do the same.
(One problem with Boox is their relentless phone-home to servers in China, which cannot be disable by normal means.)
not even the latest ones like tab x c
maybe your game can live only by the sales of the US
Nearby, we've got Canada and Mexico, and up until pretty recently, you could cross over those borders with a driver's license. And both those countries are big. On the other sides we have oceans. So for most Americans, the minimum cost of an international flight is the same as the cost for a European to fly to the US ($500-$1000), and a full day's travel each way. Here on HN, we might forget that most of the population makes fucking peanuts, so keep in mind that means that for most Americans, $1000 is a lot of money. Most Americans also don't get a lot of time off, so those 2 days of travel are a significant cost in of themselves.
All told, the lack of passports amongst Americans isn't indicative of some isolationist mindset. It's just that they have no need of a passport, because they aren't taking the kinds of extremely far-flung vacations that would need one, and they know if they need one, they can just get one before their trip.
Schengen area
travelling around Europe as European is not much more hassle than moving on the US from one state to the other.
The board may have been incompetent and shortsighted. Perhaps they should even try and bring Altman back, and reform themselves out of existence. But why would the vast majority of the workforce back an open letter failing to signal where they stand on the crucial issue - on the purpose of OpenAI and their collective work? Given the stakes which the AI community likes to claim are at issue in the development of AGI, that strikes me as strange and concerning.
at the end of the day, the people working there are not rich like the founders and money talks when you have to pay rent, eat and send your kids to a private college.
I personally doubt GPT-5 will be as much of an improvement over GPT-4 as GPT-4 was over GPT-3, but that's fine, I can wait until GPT-6 or 7.
OK well, it might also find early stage cancers that show no symptoms until past the point of no return!
MRIs have no side effects aside from the high cost. Even their high cost is reasonably affordable if only done every 5-10 years. As long as doctors & patients make rational follow up decisions with the results, it's a net benefit to be able to get these scans every few years to catch early, slow moving, hard to detect cancers.
There are a wide range of cancers there really are no routine screenings for. Yes we screen for what.. breast, colon, prostate, skin.. But what of liver, kidney, thyroid, pancreas, and various others?
We had a close friend discover they had stage 2 cancer found during a CT scan after a routine medical procedure went awry. They were told that had the slip-up not occurred, they would have probably lived another 5-10 years, and not fallen ill with any symptoms until stage 4.
I don't understand the mindset that we should just pretend the tools aren't available to detect things earlier.
the same reason of why for example now there is an advocacy to end yearly mammograms on older woman, because the number of them saved by that practice is inferior to the ones that are misdiagnosed and then put under other unnecesary medical practices that end up hurting more by unnecesary practices on a lot of them that would have never developed a cancer or under pressure to the ones that no one will be able to save no matter how sooner they got the diagnostic.
infinite constant and unnecesary medical tests is not the way for now, maybe in the future, but not now.
but in this case as it does to china, people are a bit paranoid. usually mostly is their cloud services for notetaking or some push notifications.
but I think I remember people saying they could disable everything by rooting the devices.
