8K is theoretically good as “spare resolution,” for instance running variable resolution in games and scaling everything to it, displaying photos with less scaling for better sharpness, clearer text rendering, less flickering, stuff like that.
It’s not worth paying for. Mostly. But maybe some day it will be cheap enough to just “include” with little extra cost, kinda like how 4K TVs or 1440p monitors are cheap now.
…I actually wouldn’t be against this.
But it isn’t even genuine. They’ve forked llama.cpp into a broken clone like about 500 other corporations, instead of just contributing to shit that actually works and is used, and… that’s about it.
That’s about par for the AI industry.
I hear this all the time.
Yet when I bring up features that don’t work at all on X because it’s ancient, “no, thats superfluous. No one needs that.”
I used to do this, but literally just switched to discrete Nvidia yesterday.
Zero issues so far. TBH it actually fixed issues I had with HDR and video decoding on my AMD IGP.
Who fucking cares?
Credit card companies.
And their ad buyers, maybe.
Yeah, I’m not against the idea philosophically. Especially for security. I love the idea of containerized isolation.
But in reality, I can see exactly how much disk space and RAM and CPU and bandwidth they take, heh. Maintainers just can’t help themselves.
The later sounds very plausible.
Ah. Then I don’t know.
Maybe a bigger dev just has more leverage?
Neither was particularly sexually explicit IIRC.
I dunno, though. Maybe censorship was an “easier” ask since the setting was already there.
To be fair, there would be a loooot of nipples on Twitch otherwise. It’d be nipple sea.
Still stupid, though.
It’s why subscribing to YouTube premium within iOS app costs more because Google just makes up the difference that way.
I wish more businesses would do this. If a middleman is taking a cut, make it crystal clear to your customers.
This is my biggest gripe with Steam, for example. Valve can do 30% if they want, but dictating minimum prices on other stores that have nothing to do with Steam is just monopolistic.
And there goes your engagement.
Apples got them, and Apple knows it.
I find the overhead of docker crazy, especially for simpler apps. Like, do I really need 150GB of hard drive space, an extensive poorly documented config, and a whole nested computer running just because some project refuses to fix their dependency hell?
Yet it’s so common. It does feel like usability has gone on the back burner, at least in some sectors of software. And it’s such a relief when I read that some project consolidated dependencies down to C++ or Rust, and it will just run and give me feedback without shipping a whole subcomputer.
“It’s just a meme,” has the same energy as a confronted schoolyard bully, and apparently that’s just accepted etiquette now :/
Ive seen the same sentiment on Lemmy. Manipulative/misleading articles or even straight up misinformation is posted, and when I bring it up, OP’s response is “I don’t care.” As long as it’s the right ideology, it’s alright; and mods didn’t disagree.
…We’re so screwed, aren’t we? And by “we” I mean the internet. It’s nice to think of the Fediverse an oasis from all this, but it engineered in the same structural issues commercial social media has, I think.
That’s very distant! Yeah, you’re right about size then:
https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/by-size/size-to-distance-relationship
Oh man, you’re missing out on OLED in a basement though. It’s so fantastic for dimly lit evironments that I’d take the smaller size any day, and just sit a little closer. LCDs, on the other hand, look pretty terrible in a really dark room.
The only thing that would make me pause is if you’re trying to squeeze a big family around the TV. In that case, it would make sense to get a bigger one, so everyone can sit farther back without compromised viewing angles.
TVs are fantastic monitors.
It sounds reasonable to not want to pay for basically a small computer inside the TV.
But in practice, its not that expensive of a component. And TV volumes are so high that they’re bigger and cheaper and higher quality than an equivalently priced monitor, anyway.
Hence, while I’m fine with the monitors I have, I’m never buying a “monitor” again. It just makes no financial sense when I can get a 40" 4K TV with 120hz VRR instead, that happens to work fantastically as a streaming box too.
As a real life example, the Canon 600mm F11 telephoto lens should be awful, on, say, a 32MP crop sensor R7. That’s insane pixel density somewhere in the ballpark of this Fuji.
…But look at real life shots of that exact combo, and they’re sharp as hell. Sharper than a Sigma at F6.3.
The diffraction limit is something to watch out for, but in reality, stuff like the lens imperfections, motion blur, atmospheric distortion and such are going to get you first. You don’t need to shoot at F4 on this thing to make use of the resolution, even if that is the ideal scenario.
See: https://www.omnicalculator.com/other/hyperfocal-distance
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperfocal_distance
But TL;DR: for distant landscapes on a wide field of view lens, you can shoot at F5.6 and everything is in focus. I even do this at F1.4 on my lowly aps-c camera.
Put more concretely, the hyperfocal distance for a 35mm f5.6 lens on a medium format camera is 5 meters. Everything in the distance can be in focus.
For portraits, you want background blur anyway.
And if you’re doing anything else on a medium format camera, you’re kind of insane, heh.
Also, we haven’t even got HDR figured out.
I’m still struggling to export some of my older RAWs to HDR. Heck, Lemmy doesn’t support JPEG XL, AVIF, TIFF, HEIF, nothing, so I couldn’t even post them here anyway. And even then, they’d probably only render right in Safari.
