I heard something like this in the Linus video. That video also mentioned Sony as well.

This feels like the most probable reason. Likely a big redesign would be needed for larger resolutions.

Just venting and ranting about AR glasses here:

One thing about AR glasses that I don't get so far: Why do ALL of the AR glasses use only 1080p displays per eye whereas all the other VR solutions that also have a display right in front of your eye have even bigger resolutions?

I really do want AR glasses that can act as an alternative to a physical display. But they're always 1080p for some reason. The companies I've seen making them appear to me to keep fixing important issues and adding really useful features - but seem to avoid touching anything that would improve the resolution.

Edit : There's a part of me that believes the situation here is a lot like how Linus Tech Tips described the Dashcam situation.

Re:Ask HN: Should Banks Phish Their Own Customers on Thursday March 28, 2024 @11:50AM (#39852986)
This shouldn't be done directly from the bank but as a third party that is supported by the bank and a bunch of other companies concerned about this.

That way the bank doesn't have to worry about any legal or good will issues from doing this.

I made this to play the game automatically. It's a simple WinForm application but I've left the JavaScript version in there too:

Lemme know if there's another way to press every combination:

let maxElementReachedForElement = {}; let totalElements = 0; let firstElement = 0; let secondElement = 0;

setInterval(function() {

  document.getElementsByClassName('mobile-item')[firstElement].getElementsByClassName('item')[0].click();

  document.getElementsByClassName('mobile-item')[secondElement].getElementsByClassName('item')[0].click();

  totalElements = document.getElementsByClassName('mobile-item').length;

  secondElement = (secondElement + 1) % totalElements;

  if (secondElement == 0) {
   maxElementReachedForElement[firstElement] = totalElements; 
   if (Object.keys(maxElementReachedForElement).some(item => maxElementReachedForElement[item] < totalElements)) {
    let prevStart = Object.keys(maxElementReachedForElement).find(item => maxElementReachedForElement[item] < totalElements);
    firstElement = prevStart;
    secondElement = maxElementReachedForElement[prevStart]; // Start from previous end
   } else {
    firstElement = (firstElement + 1) % totalElements;
    secondElement = firstElement; // No need to repeat the previous combinations.
   }
  }

  document.title = firstElement + '+' + secondElement + '|' + totalElements;
}, 500); // TODO : Find a way other than delay

On mobile it's just tapping, no drag and drop required.
Re:OpenAI staff threaten to quit unless board resigns on Monday November 20, 2023 @11:57AM (#38350482)
Just a thought.... Wouldn't one of the board members be like "If you screw with us any further we're releasing gpt to the public"

I'm wondering why that option hasn't been used yet.

If I can get this to sort my huge mess of photos based on geolocation and time into folders for me based on my own folder and naming structure... This just might be useful.

Edit : even older folks who have no idea how tech works might be able to finally sort their photos as well.

Out of curiosity... Does anyone use the rss reader in MS Outlook? I know MS is supposed to pack a lot of features to catch as much audience as possible, but are there enough people still using it to this day?

Re:Riffusion – Stable Diffusion fine-tuned to generate Music on Thursday December 15, 2022 @09:06PM (#34008695)
I wonder if subliminal messaging will somehow make a comeback once we have ai generated audio and video. Something like we type "Fun topic" and those controlling the servers will inject "and praise to our empire/government/tyrant" to the suggestion or something like that.
Re:Chess, but neither player moves first on Monday November 14, 2022 @07:20PM (#33603453)
Seems like it got the hug of death from many users - few interesting quirks I saw while it was still running:

* You need to actually capture the king to win. Check/Checkmate does not apply here

* You can't move the same piece twice in a row (I think)

* You can actually skip a turn - This is somehow more strategic than it sounds, but I'm not sure how to use it - maybe just wait with your "venus flytrap" and then capture the pieces?
