Or well, with 2017 I mean "later." Neither of them will release HBM 2 cards this summer. And AMD Polaris 10 may not keep up with the fastest of the Nvidia cards.
You'll have to wait for the replacement of the Fury cards.
I wouldn't really settle for the very poor colors of the Triton screen. Maybe it would be an improvement for Dungeons & Dragons rule books (or not due to poorer resolution?) but it's too shitty for comics. Why would I read that on that screen rather than IPS or OLED?
I opened the second link but I can not really follow it / don't know what to look at.
I guess for speedometers(?) it may be fine. Check Mirasol: http://the-digital-reader.com/... And Liquavista: http://the-digital-reader.com/... The later is the one which look the best IMHO. But Amazon hasn't put it into a kindle even though they own the company. They will know much more about the capabilities of the display than I do though =P
The last concept unit you linked look "better." It doesn't have to have perfect color some is better than none. The problem with Mirasol or atleast in some versions of this is that it seem to look like say butterfly wings: http://www.netbooknews.com/wp-... I think it worked about the same by working with very small gaps too (matching wave-length of light.)
Hey!!! I know a guy who will do it for only $3 per cubic yard. Why pay $1.5 trillion? How about merely $238 billion?
But wait! There's more! I was talking with a guy who would be happy to sell the UAE the entire Mt. Rainier in Washington State for, oh, maybe $10,000. Then there would be the easy problem of moving it.
They should had bought Alaska while it was for sale.
The market buys a lot of things, such as e-ink readers due to LCD sucking in direct sunlight. If the deliberately restricted market of e-ink opens up a bit due to real competition and is able to actually act like the market you describe then I think there will be room in the market for more devices. Your snarky "market" comment is amusing considering the topic. Do you really know that little about what has been going on with e-ink for a decade?
The e-ink readers has been in a decline for long and have had their peak "many" years ago.
The other guy said "oh buy you don't need color and animation for this purpose!" - yeah, that's the same Amazon argue and that's why their e-ink readers still suck. "But we don't need it because books don't have colors!" (or animations) - If you build it they will come. I don't fucking care that for thousands of years it's been ~black ~ink on ~pale surface of some sort for text. There's been other things too but that for text. I still want more, there's other things with more (magazines, comics, photos,..) The new Kindle Oasis is £270!! £270!!!! That's more than the fucking One Plus 3!! It still has a shitty small grey-scale screen which is somewhat good for one purpose alone and that's to show black and white text. £270!! (And they don't even sell to Sweden.) Heck, even I could likely get laid for less!
There are a lot of applications where both of your criteria are not needed. Do you really need to play movies on the wall panel that tells you what the airconditioner is doing?
All the old school Slashdotters remember K5 and understand why this is a sad day. None of the new people have heard of it. In some ways, it was better than Slashdot and had features that Slashdot still doesn't have. As I recall, users voted on the stories that showed up on the front page. There were trolls, but the flame warriors and crapflooders weren't tolerated. I didn't post on K5 very much, but I sure appreciate it. I wonder if, in ten years, people will have the same reaction to Slashdot that you're having to K5.
I've been here since the late 90s, for how long does one have to have been around to not be "new" and what is "old"?
I don't know why you picked 10 years later specifically. I will remember Slashdot in 10 years time but I'm not very active.
Personally I want VR. VR for (on rails) tours of places and entertainment = Great. VR for normal games = Ok I guess if the fidelity of the screen is atleast as good as a normal computer monitor and if it's comfortable. VR games stuck in one place with a controller = Not the most interesting, especially if the one above isn't true. VR games with some freedom of movement and tracking of the person = Good but since we can't move around everywhere with these kinds of products (Vive and PC) and realistically not even outside if the current reality is completely replaced by a virtual one it will be an on rail experience such as the shot from a vehicle games or Duke Nukem Forever and so on. Not the best.
Personally I too think the most interesting applications lie in augmented reality where the real world could become more interesting / have additional content brought too it. Missions in the real world. Say table tennis or laser game or whatever in the augmented world. People could do legal graffiti everywhere. Touring and facts about the environment and so on.
The market and usefulness of augmented reality must be much higher. There's still room for a "Real-life Shadow warrior" where you battle daemons in the somewhat real world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
And why should be listen to him.. because he is a billionaire ? Im sure the guy can power on his PC/MAC at home.. but clearly does not know.... jack sh*t.
Last days had them also talk about how they would do the electronic car better than Tesla.
Well, when China stops "engag[ing] in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms set forth herein", I guess we'll know that anyone gives a shit about the UN declaration of human rights.
As far as I know it's not legally binding, just "Yeah we accept this seem good" - not signed by everyone either.
Bunch of Muslim countries has signed the "Cairo-declaration of human rights in Islam" which isn't the same thing.
Here's a clue: The first amendment applies to americans living in America. Not american and not in America? Not covered.
UN declaration of human rights has it too.
"Article 18.
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.
Article 19.
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
Article 20.
(1) Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association. (2) No one may be compelled to belong to an association."
But article 30 handles that:
"Article 30.
Nothing in this Declaration may be interpreted as implying for any State, group or person any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms set forth herein."
What's the fastest way to get the plug pulled on the simulation you're living in? Convince a significant fraction of the population that their existence is pointless because they live in a simulation. This will corrupt whatever experiment that's supposed to be occurring and the outraged grad student will ragequit the simulation and start over. Or maybe he'll restore from decades-old backups and arrange bizarre and agonizing deaths for Tyson and that meddling philosopher Bostrom.
What about if they told him that's what he's supposed to think? "Let's see how they react if they start to doubt their own existence and are getting aware they are just within a simulation!"
What about if the odds for something such happening is very small vs the odds for life in general are large in the same almost infinite time (which it isn't so.. I guess that one failed, go with almost infinite number of universes instead.)
Also where does Odin come in in all this? Yeah that's right you towel-head.
+ Intel graphics license. + New power-efficient same process as Nvidia chip (same process before too but..) + Depending on how you view it almost as small process as Intel for processors + hopefully a better price / performance at at least as good performance as the regular desktop range of Intel chips. (+ all the GameWorks hate online? + Pretty nice and competitive "open-source" Linux drivers.)
Historically top of the line desktop processor tech is considered munitions and not exportable to places like China. What changed?
US government living in the past? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2... "US govt bans Intel from selling chips to China's supercomputer boffins Xeon, Xeon Phi processors slapped on trade block list"
Like: "AMD chips? Hah! Nah they can have those! It's not like they are competitive enough anyway!" - "What could possibly go wrong?!"
If you don't like our welfare state, you are more than welcome to move to another country where your demands for no taxes and no service will be served.
I don't want to move. I want to be free.
The problem is that the rats they are letting in will vote for more benefits for themselves just making it worse.
IMHO they don't have the right to it and to plunder or restrict people whatever they vote for and are the majority or not.

And AMD Polaris 10 may not keep up with the fastest of the Nvidia cards.
You'll have to wait for the replacement of the Fury cards.
Let's see what AMD will say about that. And whether there will be usable open source drivers (for either manufacturers 2016 GPU lineup).
I can promise(..) you AMD won't release a single GPU Polaris 10 graphics card with HBM 2 right now.
Both companies will likely release theirs in 2017.
Amazon already own it's own color screen technology,.

Yes.
Now bring me the fucking color displays.
Which require more than one floppy I assume! BLOAT!
For those who don't get it;
this is the one floppy you need to net-install OpenBSD 5.9/AMD64: http://ftp.eu.openbsd.org/pub/...
It's _NET_-install, not fucking floppy-install =P
IIRC the kernel dropped boot floppies around version 2.6
Last time I installed OpenBSD and NetBSD they installed from one and two floppies each if I remember correctly.
Back before then I think Debian maybe had like five or something..
See, this is how it's done:
http://ftp.eu.openbsd.org/pub/... - The _ONE_ floppy required to net-install OpenBSD 5.9 i386.
http://ftp.eu.openbsd.org/pub/... The _ONE_ floppy required to net-install OpenBSD 5.9 AMD64.
Wow, NetBSD uses _FIVE_ floppies now?!
http://ftp.fi.netbsd.org/pub/N...
FreeBSD doesn't even offer floppy-installation any more?
ftp://ftp.se.freebsd.org/pub/F...
The biggest flaw of both IE and Edge is that they are slow as fuck once you have a few tabs.
Extensions .. would likely just make them even slower (well - except for ads maybe.)
And we must respect that, or liberals will boycott us.
I identify as morally superior to Muhammed.
Now what? =P
Also, N.B. they still offer GUI-less installs and netinstalls.

Neither have I.
Have fun at your VR party.
I meant doing a record of the surroundings to someone not at it to show what's happening.
At best it will be a niche product like for gaming.
And porn and museums and concerts and nature shows and parties and ..
I bought VR. My husband bought VR. Eat a dick.
OMG the immersion! I can even taste it!!
