“Open Compute” being trademarked is pretty ironic

I am so glad there’s still influential people fighting this bullshit

The article itself mentions E Ink’s Kaleido 3 technology. I’m not really sure on the semantics of “e-ink” vs “e-paper”, but your take sounds good enough to me. I do know that E Ink makes a product internally (maybe also externally? idk) refered to as “ACeP”, which stands for “Advanced Color e-Paper”, so e-ink definitely classifies as a type of e-paper.

One of their older color products is a traditional B/W screen with an RGB filter over the top. The problem with this is the filter tends to make everything way darker and muted than it should be.

They are also working on newer ACeP screens that use multiple colored dye and pigment particles in the same capsule. By swapping the colors around with specific electric waveforms, they can control what the color looks like from the front. The downside is that this color swapping often takes several seconds to produce the correct color ((also the color gamut has a lot of holes))

Hi! Former E Ink employee here. The technology behind color e ink displays is an intricate nightmare of juggling different ink particles through a gel medium (which is actually derived from pig fat btw). It’s a miracle it even works in the first place, and unfortunately higher color accuracy comes at the cost of refresh rate due to all the steps involved. Not sure how in-depth I can go without violating my NDA though lol.

While the color tech is advancing, it’s still got a long way to go.

Sometimes a lack of empathy can be due to a hormonal imbalance. You might benefit from some kind of hormonal therapy, if that’s something you want to bring up with a doctor.

One of my close friends was affected by something like that, and now they’re one of the most empathetic and emotionally intelligent people I know.

I like to shake the bytes around a little

i = ( i << 1 + 2 ) >> 1

Yeah preferring ssh is very understandable. I mostly prefer LocalSend because it has an iOS app that comes in very handy from time to time (though that’s not relevant here)

LocalSend is a very convenient cross-platform file-sharing app. It’s in the steam deck’s discovery store. Would recommend it over any usb drives or ssh.

The article starts by doing the “quantum” thing that really irks me, where they use confusing terminology to make it sound like “FTL communication” without actually saying it. This is garbage that doesn’t actually matter to the article.

Basically, they found a way to send quantum entangled photons (which exist in a very delicate unobserved state) through existing fiber optic infrastructure without interfering with the standard internet information already travelling through the fiber. A lot of the difficulty with this is due to signal noise that needs to be filtered out. This will be useful communicating quantum measurements over long distances.
