They're practicing remembering things for 30 minutes every day for 40 days. It isn't some sort of "weird trick" like the headline might make you think.
At 10 inches the average human eye can make out more than 650 ppi, and due to the shape and pattern of the subpixels the PPI would have to be a multiple of that to be completely unnoticeable.
I have 20-10 vision and 534 PPI phone. I can discern the individual pixels.
I have a 2560x1440 5.5" phone. I can easily discern individual pixels at a normal viewing distance. We're not even close to true "retina" displays.
We're to the point where each jump in resolution isn't as big of a deal as it was before but people saying it doesn't matter are probably using computers with 640K RAM.
For movies, not much. There's definitely a wow factor in some of them but you quickly forget about it and just enjoy the movie.
After getting used to higher resolution on my desktop and in games I occasionally get distracted by the resolution of 1080p TV and movies. I get used to it for a while then there will be a scene switch or something and I'll get bothered by it. Not as often as the jitter from low frame rate panning though.
If they release it on DVD without options to purchase a download or stream it more people are just going to pirate it because it's more convenient for them.
They article didn't give any details, but it sounds they hacked the hub the lights connect to, not the lights themselves. They probably had to be on the same wifi network, hence the drone. So if the wifi network was secure this couldn't have happened, but the hub must have some sort of default password or way to take control if you simply have wifi access which isn't good security.
There would be a government mandated certification that wouldn't actually ensure things are more secure. It would be an expensive and slow process so start-ups and small scale companies can't compete with the big corporations.
And I doubt it is very accurate. When people talk about frameworks they often don't even mention the language. Javascript are dominated by frameworks and probably extremely underrepresented using that methodology. At the last conference nearly half the sessions had to do with javascript and there were only a couple C sessions.
If you want a good test of your bandwidth use dslreports.com/speedtest. It connects to a variety of servers and locations instead of straight from your home to your ISP like what often happens on speedtest.net.
The TVs have a problem with input lag, which is most likely caused by what they're doing to stop burn in.
They're great for watching movies and TV, but too laggy for serious gaming.

HPE here. This is why I work from home, alone.
Yeah practicing memorizing is so weird. I saw some school kids using flash cards then the next day they passed the test! So weird.

Right, I bet there is no way in hell I can see over 30 fps too.

Conferences give you dedicated time to do all of that though. A lot of people have trouble getting that at work.

They most likely don't even drive themselves. Just like the politicians coming up with all the ridiculous gun laws that have never touched a firearm.
It sounds like they're just using "machine learning" to improve intellisense type stuff.
I have a feeling any programs fully generated by AI are going to end up like WYSIWYG html editors until we get to the point of some sort of super AI.

I changed my caps lock to backspace. Backspace is used a lot more than escape and the real backspace is in a terrible spot.

I have gigabit fiber, so it takes more than 20 of you to make up for me.
Maybe they could put it in some kind of tubing and bury it.
doesn't this violate net neutrality?
Opera already has a built in VPN option for private tabs.

They do it because twitch orders channels by viewers, so if you have more viewers you're more likely to get more viewers.
And you simply don't connect it to your network and behaves exactly like a monitor.
Score:1, Troll.
I see the fbi has mod points.

They're using the apps less, but are they just going to it in their web browsers instead?
