The largest devices I'm aware of are E-ink displays. Onyx produces the Onyx BOOX Mira Pro, 25.3" diagonal, based on the E Ink Carta, 25,3", resolution of 3200x1800 dots, 145 ppi, 16 shades of grey.
Note that the pixel density is markedly lower than other e-ink devices. For smaller devices, e.g., the Poke 5, DPI is more than double at 300 dpi (comparable to a laser printer): 6", E Ink Carta Plus, 16 shades of grey, 1072 × 1448 dots, pixel density - 300 ppi
Granted: with increased viewing distance, resolution can fall somewhat, but given that areal density falls as the, well, square, this is 4x lower resolution.
The Mira Pro runs an eye-watering $1,750, further impeding the viewing experience. Given price trends on other E-Ink devices, I'm pretty sure that's all but entirely driven by the display cost itself.
Nicely said. I remember AWS outages (S3, EBS, and RDS) in the early 2010s when their products were younger. But given time to improve each has become more and more resilient.
I'm surprised how most chatbots focus on a 1:1 interaction with the user and the bot. I find chatbots most productive and novel when you allow the one bot to interact with a group of users. For example, deploy bots, where each user can have the bot deploy as well as they can see the chat history to get context on what has been deployed.

- a culture focused around questioning everything
At Button, we think unlocking the interconnection of mobile apps through deep linking is the next big step in the evolution of apps. Deep linking is critical on the web, so why does it barely exist on our mobile apps? Button is focused on tackling this issue, so that your app experience isn’t on-par with the web, but better! Watch our demo video on http://www.usebutton.com/ to learn more.
If any of this resonates with you we’d love to hear from you, so please apply at http://www.usebutton.com/join-us or drop us a line at recruiting@usebutton.com.
Come be Engineer #6 at Button! We’re looking for full-stack generalists and iOS and Android pros.
WHAT WE DO: We’re building a platform and loyalty network that connects mobile apps together. We’ve announced partnerships with Uber, Resy, and Tablelist, and we’re just getting started. (The nature of what we do puts us in touch with a lot of growing mobile startups.)
WHO WE’RE AFTER: We’re a merry band of hackers and entrepreneurs, and we’re looking for someone similarly minded. Our backend is a mix of NodeJS and Golang, and we have a rich iOS SDK (and need help building Android).
Ideally you’ll have 5+ years of experience working on hard technical problems in a related environment. But more important is an ability to work through hard problems, a drive to innovate, and an insistence on clean and well-tested code. Our lead engineers are veterans of Google and Venmo.
WHAT YOU’LL DO: As engineer #6, you’ll either specialize in our mobile SDK or our backend. Both are being built to integrate into hundreds of top-tier apps, with millions of users per day, so performance and correctness are absolutely critical. We’ve still got a lot of work to do, so as an early engineer you’ll have a lot of influence over design decisions and directions.
CONTACT: Interested? Apply at http://www.usebutton.com/join-us or drop us a line at recruiting@usebutton.com, and Chris or Mikey will get back to you! (Please mention HN, too!)
