2560x1440 and ~12px on HN looks incredibly small.

I just switched the resolution to 1024x768, and now the same ~12px is "larger" and easier to read without needing to increase my browser zoom.

There's an obvious visual difference between the two.

Without HiDPI (sic!) scaling that means that a correctly-sized display for that resolution would have a 30" diagonal on Windows (standard PPI: 96) and 40" on Mac (standard PPI: 72). If you don’t have HiDPI (sic!) scaling enabled in your system and your display is smaller than that, then you’re basically browsing everything zoomed out.

Then your setup is not compliant with web standards. Most likely you need to enable DPI scaling somewhere.
