Re:Ask HN: In 15 years, what will a gas station visit look like?
on Monday June 09, 2025 @11:03AM (#44225214)
Speaking as an American.
They will be virtually identical, except that there will be far more ads. Perhaps stations in super urban areas will integrate AI into the pump, using your name and level 3 data to market to you hyper-specifically.
Also Arizona teas will no longer say 99¢ on the can.

That other guy must be having a bad day. You've built something cool, most people have not. Sharing projects like this is what I miss about the old internet. I'm sure you're learning lots along the way. Godspeed.

TAA is temporal anti-aliasing, correct? There is no time dimension here, isn't it just compression + bilinear filtering?

I still use X11 because it just works. I understand that Wayland is the "latest and greatest", but I genuinely do not understand why I need to upgrade yet. Could someone provide an actual tangible example as to why Wayland is "better" than X11? I've only ever heard hand-wavy explanations.

Can you recommend the model of TV you settled on? I have been looking for a TV that can be de-smarted for a while now.
Also, are you considering KDE Plasma BigScreen?

A lot of people in this thread complaining about DPIs and similar specs. Am I really the weird one for still thinking a 24" 1080p (≈92 DPI) display is absolutely fine for 99% of tasks?
The people praising 4K now will be calling it shit in just a few years time. Maybe I am coping for not having grown up with HD TV.

Re:Netflix is removing nearly all of its interactive titles
on Friday November 08, 2024 @12:18PM (#42088539)
Isn't this effectively how the interactive materials behave, or am I misunderstanding? It was my understanding that they all were analogous to DVD-style interactive extras where you essentially choose left or right at points in the story.

I am glad to hear this. I enjoyed Bandersnatch, but I do not think it was the right tone for a launch title for this kind of project, personally.
