Logged on 2021-01-02 20:28:54 verisimilitude: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2020-12-29#1027745 Say, what are the thoughts on GPUs with regards to this, asciilifeform? |

asciilifeform unrelatedly: asks readers who (supposing anyone has) bought 3840x2160 ips displays in recent 5yrs, to write in. looking for sumthing larger than current flagship 'nec' 27in. no, not interested in tvisms/non-ips garbage/similar. |

specifically must NOT use pwm backlight. so e.g. 'dell' is right out. |
14:45 |
verisimilitude |
Expand PWM. |
14:46 |
asciilifeform |
verisimilitude: pulse-width modulation. when comp displays started using led lamps instead of fluorescent tubes, almost all vendors implemented brightness control by pulsed flicker. |
14:46 |
asciilifeform |
the notion was 'most people cannot see 200hz flicker.' |
14:46 |
asciilifeform |
asciilifeform can see 400+hz flicker. |
14:47 |
asciilifeform |
and incidentally most folx indeed 'can't see'. they then wonder where the chronic headaches come from. |
| |
↖ |
14:47 |
verisimilitude |
I've a 1080p Dell monitor I bought a few years back. I notice no flicker, and usually blame any temporary display oddities on OpenBSD. |
14:49 |
verisimilitude |
I don't usually get headaches; any of mine usually only get bad a few times a year, at which point I sleep to rid myself of them; if that doesn't work, it happens I was actually ill, usually realizing this by my next waking. |
14:49 |
asciilifeform |
verisimilitude: 1080pism is astonishing technoregress -- these would have been considered miserly even in 1990s crt days |
14:49 |
verisimilitude |
I figured I'd buy a cheap, ``bad'' monitor, and only upgrade it once I reached a point I needed it. |
14:50 |
verisimilitude |
Do tell, asciilifeform; I'm ignorant of this. |
14:50 |
asciilifeform |
verisimilitude: well, i had 1600x1200 on my 1990s crts. and it was considered standard. |
14:50 |
verisimilitude |
I'm aware of issues with blacks and other things, but I'm certainly ignorant of yet other details. |
14:52 |
asciilifeform |
verisimilitude: the type of work that asciilifeform does, goes 'geometrically' faster the more lines of text asciilifeform can legibly see at once w/out scrolling. |
14:53 |
verisimilitude |
I suppose a 4K monitor would be appropriate then; nowadays there are 8K. |
14:54 |
asciilifeform |
them, plus e.g. program outputs, and docs, etc. |
14:54 |
asciilifeform |
verisimilitude: afaik there are no 8k monitor (not tv, these aint interchangeable , tv are sold w/ non-rectangular pixels and unsuitable for text) of reasonable size on the market atm |
14:56 |
verisimilitude |
I'd like a dual monitor setup, but most of my machines are so old they only support VGA output, and I didn't try hard to get it working, since I just use the monitor with the one machine that has HDMI out. |
14:56 |
verisimilitude |
It doesn't get mentioned enough, that HDMI has digital restrictions management in it. |
14:56 |
asciilifeform |
verisimilitude: atm i have 1 27in 3840x2160 (horiz. '4k'); 2 1200x1900 (90 degree); 1 1440x2560 (90 deg.); and 1 1600x1200 (horiz.) . |
14:57 |
verisimilitude |
I use my one 1808p monitor rotated to a vertical standing primarily for WWW browsing. |
14:57 |
asciilifeform |
verisimilitude: serious displays normally use 'displayport' cabling, rather than hdmi (if you want 60hz+ refresh, which you do, or will see 'snail trail' on cursor) |
14:58 |
verisimilitude |
Oh, I can see the previous cursors if I move it fast enough, but always figured that was poor software. |
14:59 |
asciilifeform |
verisimilitude: my advice, is to carefully forget errything i said, and try not to even see modern displays. it's a kind of 'luxury ratchet', once you've had 200+ln of text visible at 1nce, will be very difficult to go back, will be like using outdoor latrine |
15:00 |
verisimilitude |
Oh, I know. |
15:00 |
verisimilitude |
I went from WWW browsing on a small screen, to using this 1080p monitor rotated, and knew I didn't want to browse with a smaller screen ever again. |
15:01 |
verisimilitude |
I wanted to get my WWW browsing on a separate machine, so I don't browse any other way anymore. |
15:01 |
verisimilitude |
I do less programming on this machine, but the larger view is nice, yes. |
15:02 |
asciilifeform |
reversing wins from 'moar lines, at whatever cost' even far more so than programming. |

asciilifeform apropos of above thrd, in several days of head-wall bashing, found only this list -- albeit not updated since 2016. |
17:37 |
verisimilitude |
I'll probably use this list if I purchase another monitor. |
17:38 |
asciilifeform |
verisimilitude: if you don't notice flicker on the rubbish-bin 'dell' -- prolly no reason to |
17:39 |
verisimilitude |
Sure, but if I purchase another monitor, it may as well have such things I don't actually need. |
17:40 |
verisimilitude |
I may only not notice it because the screen's at only 20% brightness and 70% contrast currently. |
17:41 |
asciilifeform |
verisimilitude: typically the lower the brightness setting, the more eye torture from pwm |
17:42 |
verisimilitude |
I'm not noticing any such difference at any brightness setting. |
17:43 |
asciilifeform |
verisimilitude: then you can safely ignore the subj. |
17:43 |
verisimilitude |
This has been interesting to learn a little of, in any case. |
17:45 |
asciilifeform |
verisimilitude: example w/ oscillograms. |

Say, asciilifeform, the von Neumann bottleneck is caused by the one access for data and code; it doesn't feel meaningfully different to write programs which don't use memory for anything beyond code, however. |
| |
↖ |
22:16 |
verisimilitude |
That is, be there anything much special about that class of programs which, after initialization, have all mutable state live in registers and whatnot? |
