dpi (dots per inch) is a measurement of camera resolution, not of the speed of the sensor processing. So the full processing goes like this:

60 times per second (60 Hz), the optical sensor in the mouse takes an image at 4000dpi resolution. That information is then processed and modulated onto a radio wave that swings up and down 2. 4 billion times per second (2.4 GHz) - but the information is still only sent 60 times per second, so less often than would be of a modern gaming screen updating 144 times per second.

    In computational biology / biotechnology, LLMs are being trained on biological sequences and can then be used to generate new genes or genetic variants. These genes can be placed into bacteria who are then fed with e.g. sugar to make them produce various valuable molecules from renewable resources instead of from crude oil using conventional chemistry. There is also work on enabling plastic biodegradation this way.

    I'm with you, as a maintainer of some small FOSS projects with very limited time, a lot of these complaints seem entitled and uninformed views by people that don't contribute any code of their own.

    I'm sad that the internet doesn't seem to make a difference between fully vibecoded low effort low quality projects, and experienced developers using GenAI in a very restricted, carefully reviewed way. Even further, some only use it as an additional code review method. If overburdened maintainers use it to get a leg up on delivering features while keeping the quality level up, that should be celebrated and not punished.
