Testing on 5GB of data fully resident in ram is a terrible comparison. Things get hard when you're in the hundreds of gigabytes or more.


Thanks a lot for your comment! We agree that a dataset as small as 5 GB may sound strange but it was a conscious decision. Check out our blog post to read more about the methodology of this benchmark itself.

TLDR It's not our choice, but it's meaningful. Because this 5GB is single data segment and literally what you will have in Elastic/etc when you have overall TBs of data. See https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/production-guidanc... (single shard is one Lucene index that contains multiple data segments)

It's still a big deal, you had to compile ffmpeg yourself before


These results are terrible, false positives and false negatives. Useless


Yeah, what does the confusion matrix look like?


Markedly better than six months ago.


Truly trash blog design


So your extension does a bunch of hooks to spoof edge, but then only works on edge? And edge using Netflix normally already supports 4k. So this does nothing and does not solve the stated problem of chrome and Firefox 4k Netflix streaming.

Am I missing something?


I would imagine it's less a product to use and more documentation of the various techniques that are involved. It seems pretty reasonable to share that with others.


What are you talking about, this all exists


We're very far away from this.


Downvoted by the clankers.


Banning calling out AI slop hardly seems like an improvement


What I'm advocating is a "downvote (or ignore) and move on" attitude, as opposed to "I'm going to post about this" stance. Because, similar to "your color scheme is not a11y-friendly" or "you're posting affiliatate-links" or "this is effectively a paywall", there is zero chance of a productive conversation sprouting from that.


what is a11y. Can we just write words out please.


Accessibility. It's both a very common abbreviation and very easy to search for.

Those are all legitimate concerns or even valid complaints, though, and, once raised, those concerns can be addressed by fixing the problem, if the person responsible for the state of affairs chooses to do so.

If someone is accused falsely of using AI or anything else that they genuinely didn’t do, like a paywall, then I can see your “downvote and move on” strategy as being perhaps expedient, but I don’t think your comparison is a helpful framing. Accessibility concerns are valid for the same reason as paywall concerns: it’s a valid position to desire our shared knowledge and culture to be accessible by one and by all without requiring a ticket to ride, entry through a turnstile, or submitting to profiling or tracking. If someone releases their ideas into the world, it’s now part of our shared consciousness and social fabric. Ideas can’t be owned once they’re shared, nor can knowledge be siloed once it’s dispersed.

It seems that you’re saying that simply because there isn’t a good rejoinder to false claims of AI usage that we shouldn’t make such claims at all, even legitimate ones, but this gives cover to bad actors and limits discourse to acceptable approved topics, and perhaps lowers the level of discourse by preventing necessary expectations of disclosure of AI usage from forming. If we throw in the towel on AI usage being expected to be disclosed, then that’s the whole ballgame. Folks will use it and not say so, because it will be considered rude to even suggest that AI was used, which isn’t helpful to the humans who have to live in such a society.

We ought to have good methodological reasons for the things we publish if we believe them to be true, and I’m not trying to be a naysayer or anything, but I respectfully disagree with your statement generally and on the points. All of the things you mentioned should be called out for cause, even if there isn’t much interesting discussion to be had, because the facts of the matters you mention are worth mentioning themselves in their own right. Just like we should let people like things, we should let people dislike things, and saying so adds checks and balances to our producer-consumer dynamic.


Even at 0F most modern heat pumps produce heat at a COP greater than 2. This means you get twice the rate of heat generation than a typical electric space heater. You are out of date, and wrong.


That's childish and sad. Don't do that please
