For reasons I don't fully understand, it makes me thing of repressive environs along the lines of "This is not for you. Serious business only.".

Although I do find some of the borders much too thick, it would be bit of relief from the modern trend of having enormous padding/margins everywhere.

On occasions where I told them it's really called a hamburger menu, they all either looked like they thought the idea was nonsesical, or said as much.

…Don't get me started on apps that have multiple air vent (or elipsis) menus visible simultaneously.

Or apps that abuse the symbol further by changing the meaning from "menu" to "toggle a sidebar that may or may not have portions that act like a menu."

The first century is years 1 through 100. Therefore, the second century is years 201 through 300.

The first millenium is years 1 through 1000. Therefore, the second millenium is years 2001 through 3000.

There is no year zero.

Like, sending an empty folder to the bin:

Win 10 this afternoon took seconds to display a dialog box with no content, the a couple seconds to add a progressbar, then a second to add the cancel button, then multiple seconds to finish showing progress.

But at home a 1991s system with System 7 completes the same task instantly without needing a progressbar.

So perhaps, that's my bias: towards a former reality.

I often find myself wondering at a random HN commenter's flaming of a post for being full of AI slop, when the accused reads like normalspeak to my half-old eyes.

s/power/time/ maybe? Or on second thought: so energy-efficicient that it actually uses less power in the same-or-shorter time… which brings me back to "less compute power".

You can reason about frequency of particular types bugs, such as null pointers or overflow, or whether those bugs can occur at all.

So, a family of weavers going back hundreds of years, now switching to carbon fibre production under the direction of an unrelated (adopted) heir can said in Japan to still be the same company if that carbon fiber is woven.

But also, sometimes "core competency" is re-interpreted. Perhaps the original core competency was as dyers, which morphed into weaving at some point, and might eventuall change to "anything involving carbon fibre"…

As some others have asked you, would you be so kind as to please suggest other sources for either the required energy inputs, or the required reduction in heat losses, so as to provide other plausable explanations for the available data?

We agree that corelation is not causation. I suppose we should also agree that ignoring a correlation when choosing what to investigate would not be science.

Dark mode on an oled reduces brightness (and power consumption).

Dark mode on my work laptop (not oled) reduces backlight brightness. This is auto-tragical, because it seems to only respond to changes in the display buffer's average requested luminance, instead of using an ambient light sensor. Dropping backlight toward minimum when the room is bright makes the screen mostly unreadable. And there's no control for this. Dell should be ashamed!

More importantly, if you place any darkening filter, including a darkened set of pixels, in front of a light source, it reduces the brightness. But perhaps the main concern you intended is "power consumption", not "emitted lux"? If, I'd say "Depends on your application.".
