steinvakt2 commented on The TV industry concedes that the future may not be in 8K   arstechnica.com/gadgets/2... · Posted by u/cxrlosfx

Gee, who could have foreseen that?

I mean my local cable TV is sending crap that's way worse than 720p YouTube videos and most people don't care at all.

I guess the primary benefit of an 8k display is that stuck or dead pixels are much less annoying than on a 4k panel of the same size.

I'm fine with 4k for my living room. Give me more HDR, less chroma subsampling and less banding.

I thought it was the other way. That 8k is problematic because the chance of dead pixel is so much higher, driving up the cost because of the higher ratio of ruined batches?

The lack of investment in AI, science, and research and development along with the inability to create a single market which was the promise of the EU is what undermines the EU.
steinvakt2 · 3 months ago
Absolutely. Overregulation as well. But the lack of investment is the main factor.

> So deleting text messages for the sake of storage is ridiculous

Say that when your phone refuses to receive text message due to full storage.

> A few seconds of video

The storage for video and for SMS don't need to be identical. Also not every phone is even capable of storing arbitrary files.

I'm not saying that text messages don't need storage space. I'm saying that they require so little that it's pointless to delete text messages. And it seems like you are deliberately trying to not acknowledge that. Are you now going to say that you once deleted a text message and saw 1 kb storage freed or what

This feels like a contradiction to what Flask (and) htmx are. There are way too many abstractions going on. Also I don't see any integration with htmx at all?

I was expecting something like what FastHTML does where htmx is essentially built in.

I love FastHTML!

Depends on the phone. The phones I had this problem with don't do more complicated things than "receive simple text messages", so they also don't have the storage for more. I guess when you do shady contracts you would use a burner phone, so it's quite likely that this was the case here.

A few seconds of video on a recent phone is quickly the size of thousands of text messages. So the size of a text message is basically zero. So deleting text messages for the sake of storage is ridiculous

I am wondering if Apple's focus is off lately with this drive for AI. So far all they are showing in that presentation is that I can have

"the ability to transform 2D photos into spatial scenes in the Photos app, or generating a Persona — operate with greater speed and efficiency."

And by making Apple AI (which is something I do not use for many reasons, but mainly because of Climate Change) their focus, I am afraid they are losing and making their operating Systems worse.

For instance, Liquid Glass, the mess I was lucky enough to uninstall before they put in the embargo against doing so, is, well, a mess. An Aplha release in my opinion which I feel was a distraction from their lack of a robust AI release.

So by blowing money on the AI gold rush that they were too late for, will they ultimately ruin their products across the board?

I am currently attempting to sell my iPhone 16E and my M1 Macbook Air to move back to Linux because of all of this.

If you don’t use AI for climate reasons then you should read the recent reports about how little electricity and water is actually used. It’s basically zero (image and video models excluded). Your information about this is probably related to GPT3.5 or something. Which is now 3 years old - a lifetime in AI world.

And at the same time Ursula von der Leyen keeps deleting work messages … to free storage
steinvakt2 · 4 months ago
This demonstrates the incompetence in tech in EU. Either she wants to enforce laws for the common people and not for the elite, or she is incompetent enough to believe that deleting text messages affects storage.

> did it achieve the desired effect?

Desired by whom? At this point the desire of EU legislators is to make sure that EU never gets any chance of success in the tech field. Cookie banners do serve this goal well.

steinvakt2 · 4 months ago
Exactly. So the desired effect was privacy, and it failed at achieving that.
