Say you have your display, this is made up of millions of lights that on their own just light up in whatever single colour you want, but together they light up to create an image.
Your software takes care of breaking down that image of a cat you want to look at into its corresponding pixels - with a value for colour and brightness.
For example it’ll say this area in the cat’s eye is black, so it’ll request the no light to come out of it. Another area might be a pale red so it’ll request red with some middle level of brightness.
Now your firmware takes that requested black for a specific Pixel and it’ll physically cut power to switch off all the lights in the required area. For the pale red it’ll power that the red ligh ON with hald power, whilst green and blue are OFF.
(things get more complex once you consider back-lightning)
Because of course people are always reasonable and back people and policies that are in their interest.
It seems like by and large there’s support in Russia for the invasion in Ukraine. They might not be willing to go to full mobilisation, but if they don’t have to die themselves they’re fine with the invasion.
Do you propose that the Ukrainians should stop fighting and plead with the Russian people to overthrow Putin?
We went through this back in the day on r/Formula1, banning spoilers restricts the conversation.
I get that sometimes you’re not able to watch live, restrict the Formula1 content you consume during that time.
You can’t have the entire F1 community tiptoe around you because you’ve not watched the race.
Having said that, other race series should be spoiler-free in this community.
Actually, it looks like this time it might be true.
Next is speculation on my part, but I imagine people are turning conservative more based on their wealth than their age. We saw a correlation between age and conservative sentiment because people tended to gather wealth as they got older.
But that link has been progressively eroded, so people are no longer switching. Essentially the conservatives are killing the golden goose in their incessant pursuit of consolidating wealth.
The hype around it is pretty insufferable though, in a way neither of the other examples you gave had.
The closest example I can think of is NFTs.
I don't think it'll go the way of NFTs, but it's also going to disappoint people because it's promising to be everything for everyone.
As far as I'm concern it's a very powerful search assistant and especially for bridging the gap between regular and power users - being able to use natural language is a game changer.
I also found it great when getting set up with a new piece of SW, and rephrasing or summarising text on general topics. It's not so good for parsing specialist information even when asked for specific items.
I'm looking forward to seeing what other tools people build with it but thus far I've been thoroughly... whelmed.
