The point is that under the best conditions up close centimeters away from your face you can just about see 0.1. And we’re talking 4 times that two meters away.
Text on the modern tv does look better though. Bu how much of that is that all the technology got better, colours are more uniformed, the light emmiters are more consistent, there is less dead space, etc.
It’s like that old gimmick with cameras and megapixels. Cameras were getting better, but not because the number of megapixels was bigger, still that’s the only number everyone cared about, so they started selling numbers that didn’t make any physical sence.

A bunch of people who will be voting against him are working class, and the insane US system is rigged against the working class so much, people can’t get a time off of their jobs to go vote.

Right? “Yeah, there is a scientific study about it, but what if I didn’t read it and go by feelings? Then I will be right and don’t have to reexamine shit about my life, isn’t that convenient”

If my quick calculations are correct, the 70 inches screen at 1080p has a pixel size of about 0.7 mm give or take, where 4k would be about 0.1-0.2.
0.1mm is a smallest size of a thing a human could potentially see under very strict conditions. A pixel smaller than a millimeter will be invisible from a meter away. I really, really doubt its humanly possible to see the difference from the distances a person would be watching tv.

The thing is, the newer 4k tvs are just built better, nicer colour contrast, more uniformed lighting, clearer glass, and that might be the effect you’re seeing

What do you think it actually does? You had the biggest protest before, did it achieve anything? Before that one there was another one, did something happened as a result of it? If the next one will be bigger, what will change?
Do you maybe think there is an indication that some other forms of political action could bring some different result?

Probably the main reason why US is in such dissaray is that Americans immediately default to thinking about guns no matter the problem, and are staying on that topic forever.
When presented with the obvious uselessness of your inaction, your first and only though was about a gun, and then you remembered that your gun isn’t the biggest gun, and your though process stopped.
When you stop being angry at me for pointing it out, I really want you to reflect on it.

If you’re poor, just stop being poor

Anti-democracy bots are already hard at work all over the internet, doing the usual “there is no difference between the parties and only stupid people engage in democracy” spiel.

By doing what?

Those things cost money. Not a lot of people have those lying around this days

It doesn’t matter if you can disable it by cutting a wire, it’s the same amount of security in this case.
There were of course alarms that you couldn’t disable by cutting an obvious wire, just like there are smart alarms that you can’t actually hack easily.

Biden is old, you see, and there was also a woman who wasn’t exactly adamant about Israel, so you have to starve now. But don’t worry, if you starve enough, something will surely happen. And if not, at least there will be a civil war, isn’t that great? You get to die in a random shootout, isn’t that wonderful? So glad we didn’t vote so this lady didn’t win.

Do you seriously think old alarms were unhackable?

I absolutely don’t. Since we’re talking about bad cases anyway, I don’t trust a developer to be diligent in finding bugs in their code more than I believe they will try to make all the tests pass. And it’s easier and better for the ego to achieve that if you write shit tests that only cover cases that you know will work.

Devs are more invested in code they wrote themselves. When I’m writing tests for something I didn’t write, I’m less personally invested in it.

This, I think, is a very bad part of the problem and shouldn’t be happening regardless

My main problem with that, is that it actually doesn’t use the sources it lists. It does it sometimes, and other times the links have nothing to do with the generated text, and some of them might be also non existent, but because it’s not always wrong, it makes people complicit, nobody actually checks the sources, but believe it more because the links are there.

Yeah, but the thing is, I’m not really afraid about anyone else. If someone steals my laptop or finds it or whatever, I don’t really care about what they do with my docker cache. And I’m not a target of any particular hacker group. I just feel dirty when corpos train their LLM on my data to sell me useless shit back, so that’s kind of the only thing that I would like to avoid.

The issue is them adding it to your list without user’s input or even notification. This is unpleasant behaviour that shouldn’t be normal, even if this time there is no damage.

Thankfully it’s easy to remove yet. But this sneaky automatic addition is still annoying.

It’s not a search engine, it’s a random text generator disguised as an engine. It’s worse than Google, if you can believe it. We don’t need more shit that is worse than Google
