The review also says the brightness does not recover unless LD is disabled and then re-enabled.

Can you explain this? Is this expected behavior? I don't understand how a monitor that permanently reduces HDR brightness after three minutes would qualify for DisplayHDR 1000 cert

@LGUSSupport Based on the specs, I'm very excited about the LG-27GM950B-B monitor. However, I found this RTINGS review: https://t.co/IboJjB2XIc
"local dimming feature can't sustain this high brightness [...]. After exactly three minutes, the brightness dims to around 450 cd/m²"

@rickasaurus I’ve had some success asking for mermaid diagrams describing code or a short description of processes.

Ban TikTok? Most of the national security allegations against TikTok could just as easily be levied against the U.S. tech giants.

So let's pass laws forcing all tech to serve us better.

nvidia: we are very concerned that if you don’t add 2fa to this account we forced you to make, criminals might download these free drivers without giving us accurate marketing demographic details

your bank: sorry, what? you want two tractors?

Here's the thing: the Rs *are* offering the people of East Palestine something: cultural superiority. That they will be placed socially above the blacks, the hispanics, women, jews, liberals, city dwellers, lgbtq+, etc. Above the other.

This seems like an even-handed take.

Underrated: ChatGPT makes work FUN, like I look forward to getting things done because I worry less about getting stuck on figuring out how to say something.

Lesson I will never stop repeatedly having to learn: don't freak out about your code being too slow until you've actually measured it to see if it's a hot path.

Me being told what to do by a grown up: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

Me having to be the grownup: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

had a mildly interesting conversation with some friends about my thoughts on AI art this afternoon

Michigan went left, but as is their custom, it involved a complicated process where they first drove through the intersection then did a u-turn

[Catherine @whitequark]

who called it "just-in-time compilation" and not "rapid unplanned assembly"

[Job Vranish @JobVranish]

@NoraDotCodes Like why is all period art similar to other art from the same period? It's because the artists were remixing each other's art, trained on the same art, and had much of the same shared context and experiences. I don't think that made their art less original.

[Job Vranish @JobVranish]

@NoraDotCodes I strongly agree that humans have vastly richer context and experience to pull from than these AIs, and so have vastly more creative potential. But, I feel like pulling "sigils and demons from the latent space of the collective artistic unconscious" is what humans do too.

@thingskatedid When I was a kid we would put it in grape juice (it would make nice colored bubbles and would make it fizzy) and then drink it while pretending to be mad scientists. Would recommend. Though don’t accidentally drink the dry ice.

[Job Vranish @JobVranish]

@NoraDotCodes I haven't found any epidemiologist who thinks we have any reasonable chance of getting rid of it 😭
Even if humanity united around an effective isolation strategy, we'd still need to figure out how to deal with infected animal populations (like deer) 🫤

[Job Vranish @JobVranish]

@kmett Also I highly recommend a roof rake. While it’s annoying to rake the snow off the lower roof after every major snow, it’s cheap and much better than ice dams

[Job Vranish @JobVranish]

@justin_liew Even with the heat pump being more efficient, it’s likely natural gas will still be quite a lot cheaper 😕

[Job Vranish @JobVranish]

@justin_liew For back-of-the-napkin math, you can use something like 95% efficiency for a good furnace, and maybe 200% efficiency for a heat pump. (Heat pump efficiency can be much better than that, but gets worse as it gets colder)
