Your app / website is most likely not big enough to rely on icons instead of text for buttons. Same applies to most other unique UI choices.

Nothing makes them talk about gun control faster than minorities arming.

While doing that for 80 companies is not feasible I doubt all 80 members are opposed. Valve and AMD could talk to video card, monitor, laptop and handheld makers to pad the membership enough.

As for the democracy question a quick skim of their bylaws suggests it’s close enough.

AMD has had the code ready to include in their open source driver for a while and has been trying to get HDMI Forum to let them release it for a long time https://www.phoronix.com/news/HDMI-2.1-OSS-Rejected

Fewer than 80 members. 15k/year membership fee and very lax joining requirements. $1.2M gets you majority allowing you do to whatever even with 100% of current members opposing :P

HDMI Forum has fewer than 80 members and membership fee is 15,000 USD/year. Valve could spin up 80 companies, have them join the forum for a low low price of 1.2M USD and outvote remaining members to open source the entire spec.

They charge a fee for access to the spec and maintain who can claim their products are HDMI compliant and require compliance testing on those products.

An open source implementation would make that spec public and strip a lot of control they hold.

Not in the next 12 months

I meant in the context of the post where primary focus seemed to be using up the leftover bits of filament

Bambu allows you to automatically switch to a different spool from ams when you run out and continue printing, so this becomes unnecessary.

Imagine you start researching something else before you’ve had the opportunity to finish your last. I have 10-20 tabs open for each of several in progress projects on my tablet

• Tiny bottle of artificial tears - great for flushing stuff out of your eyes, offers some relief if hit by tear gas or pepper spray too
• Tweezers
• Scissors, unless you carry some kind of blade anyway

Pelican 1600?

Where did I put the tablet I had in my hand 3 minutes ago? No clue. Phone number to the store I bought some PC parts once in 1997? No problem.

Edit: store is long gone, building is long gone, I moved to a different continent twice, but this is clearly essential information.

I’ll personally give him 10 trillion Zimbabwe dollars to fuck off

Extreme left as defined in US falls somewhere around center-center right in EU on most issues.

Slightly different part, same process. The bigger bottleneck is packaging - HBM is 3d stacked.

Same memory production capacity can be allocated to ddr5 or to hbm and openai signed contracts with sk hynix and samsung, the two largest ram manufacturers in the world, and bought a significant percentage of next year’s production.

DDR5 prices started spiking as that deals impact propagated through the supply chain. I bought a 2x32 6800 Cl30 kit for 195 euro 12 days ago. It was 330 euro 4 days later.

CATL wholesale pricing per kWh is already almost 50% below lifepo with a goal of sub $20/kWh pricing in coming years.

More durable, cheaper, can be operated at a wider temperature range and much safer, but at a cost of lower energy density.

They look like a big step forward for uses where density matters little, like grid energy storage or small scale home backups.
