  • HDMI 2.2 arrives with 16K video and 96Gbps bandwidth support

    Worth pointing out that there isn't actually bandwidth for 4:4:4 @ 16K, so it's a weird claim to make.  With high dynamic range, it can't even hit 24 fps.  At least 3:1 compression would be needed for true 16K.  The problem is they keep doubling bandwidth and quadrupling the pixel count.

    While I agree with everyone that no one needs 16K, why advertise a standard that it can't actually achieve?  Just call it the "solid 8K solution" instead.

  • Apple hampered its Siri ambitions by penny-pinching

    An easy misstep, but no excuse for Siri.  A typical leading foundation model takes about 2 months to train on ~16,000 GPUs.  I don't know where Apple was on that scale, but let's say as a result of stinginess, Apple took 4 months instead of 2 months to train a model.  Doesn't explain why 2 years later they have nothing.  Or why they didn't have something already back in 2023.

  • iPhone blamed for including journalist in highly classified bombing plans

    Also ignored the part where he claimed they were all clear because the texting group had been vetted.  :)

    I can relate - something weird about iOS 18 - it's been giving me all kinds of incorrect suggestions of who it thinks someone is.
