I've always wondered where Consumer CoPilot's design language was from.

If you watch the Build keynote with Satya, you'll notice that the design of the slides changed to Serif typography and warmer colors when Mustafa/Microsoft AI segment came on which was completely different from the rest of the keynote. Now it makes sense!

Codex is actually short for `Code Execution`
How I used Codex, computer vision, and football intuition to measure a UEFA Champions League goal.

GPT Image 1.5 is the first model that gets close to replicating the intricate detail mosaic of bullets in the "Lord of War" movie poster for me. Following the prompt instructions more closely also seems better compared to Nano Banana Pro.

I edited the original "Lord of War" poster with a reference image of Jensen and replaced bullets with GPU dies, silicon wafers and electronic components.

it is indeed Datawrapper like other posters have said. It works well for interactivity on a static blog like Hugo.

This test wasn't done on mobile.

For mobile, I don't know who outside of Netflix is delivering AV1. If they are, I expect them to be leveraging the hardware AV1 decoders for battery life instead of employing a software only solution like dav1d. Saying that, I think Netflix was using dav1d solution where it had a benefit (e.g. low quality cellular networks)

Wondering about the flag myself

>Those bit rate numbers are appalling! 2-4Mbps average bitrate?

While those may sound low, what I'm thinking is Netflix didn't see any benefit in perceptual quality (or VMAF scores) but sending more bits down the pipe and increasing their bandwidth bill.

Sorry but don't believe everything is now written by AI. Some people still know how to write addressing feedback and take accountability.

Sorry for that. I turned those off while I figure out what's going on.

Thank you. Weaving in humor and wit was a conscious choice :) Based on some of the comments above, I might have gone a little overboard.

It's what the above comments said. I tried taking screenshot comparison but due to the DRM (I think it's called HDCP?), the netflix content ends up as black screen.

Life and other priorities :)

But on the bright side I've got a large backlog of ideas now just waiting to be turned into pixels

That's kind of you. Thank you for taking the time to look through my older posts. Will be addressing this post based on the feedback here

Point taken :) In retrospect that metaphor doesn't add any technical clarity. Will address in the rewrite

Wow, this entire thread is some direct and very valuable feedback. Thank you to everyone who weighed in. I hear you all loud and clear!

To be transparent, I was experimenting with a more "punchy," narrative style to weave in some wit and humor. I didn't want the writing to feel dry and was aiming for a flow that was more entertaining. In retrospect, I clearly overshot the mark and ended up with something that feels inauthentic and distracts from the main point.

The experiment and the data are what I was most excited to share, and the writing shouldn't obscure that. Based on this feedback, I'll revise the article to be more direct, cut the fluff, and let the numbers do the talking.

Seriously, I appreciate the reality check! This is a great lesson in "know your audience." :)

Show HN: GPU market is absurd! So I built a dashboard of pricing/restock trends

https://gpuisfine.singhkays.com

Hey HN!This idea started with me not being able to buy a GPU and constantly losing to bots/scalpers. I figured I'd use this as way to see how far I can get with 'vibe-coding and designing'*.The end result was pretty far! Here are more details of behind the scenes. In a future blog post, I'll detail behind the scenes process of building this.- The landing page is React/Typescript/Tailwind.css...

huh..you might has well get a 5090 for that price. Seems like it's dipping below MSRP there - https://www.techpowerup.com/338256/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5090-b...
I know you're being facetious but such is the market atm. I put something together to track the absurdity of it all :)

It's not that bad. Lower than decoding VP9 with a software decoder
