Can't overstate enough how important 6DOF headset and hands are to VR. When I got my Rift setup the 3D depth effect is cool but really what makes VR is being able to pick up and hold an object and directly interact with objects using your hands.

For anyone interested check out videos of people using Oculus Medium, something as insanely complicated and fiddly as 3D sculpting becomes instantly natural when you interact with both hands in 3D instead of a mouse or pen in 2D.

DEEPNOTE from NYSTHI for VCV Rack does this in a virtual modular environment. https://github.com/nysthi/nysthi#deepnote You could create this with other modules too, like E-Series E340.
Just to back up your (currently downvoted) comment:

"[Brave] browser blocks ads and website trackers. Currently, the company is developing a feature that allows users to opt in to receiving ads sold by Brave Software in place of the blocked ads. Brave intends to pay content publishers 55% of the replaced ad revenue. Brave Software, ad partners, and browser users would each be allocated 15% of the revenue. Users could donate their revenue share to bloggers and other providers of web content through micropayments. The browser claims to improve online privacy by sharing less data with advertising customers, but will target web ads by analyzing users' anonymized browsing history." -- Wikipedia

I consider this ad-replacement scheme extraordinarily scummy. It sounds like the plan is to use protection racket strategies to get the target publishers to buy in.
Mine still has the ability to switch back (Gear - Back to Classic Gmail). However, when I do switch back it pops up and says I will be forced to the new version in 1 week. I guess it is wishful thinking that if a lot of people switch back, Google may get the hint their new interface is horrible.

Which parts of the code do you think are unwelcoming to people with autism?

The little GUI allows you to change all the parameters, like the partials of the final chord and the range of the glissando for each voice.

But I think the sound would only "lock in" by recording an actual cello and using that for the source of the oscillator. (A friend of mine suggested a cello harmonic which seems right given the timbre of the opening texture.)

I get excited seeing stories about aviation on HN because it's something I work on every day. I've written a few comments above but I'm developer on the system you described (and more) being used in aircraft today.

With a GPS and onboard databases of runways and taxiways, we can determine if a pilot is attempting to take off or land on a taxiway. The key is preventing nuisance alerts when the pilot is just flying around and happens to be aligned with a runway. The "11 secret herbs and spices" depend on the aircraft but are usually speed and configuration (ie landing gear) based. Approaches are fairly predictable and we can use that to sequence through a state machine that tells us the pilot intends to land.

Here's a video of the system on a G1000 (meant for smaller planes) skip to 0:45ish https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2bswm0w4cY

>On FB, I regularly see photo albums and status updates.

I don't disagree with you as much as you think. That's my point, no one in my extended circles of friends actively uses Facebook. I only follow a couple pages but my feed is 90% recommendations from "Pages I might like" and the rest are likes or comments on content my friends follow.

Yes, you could say "you have the wrong friends" but I will counter that "maybe" they consciously made the decision to optimize for engagement and that the feed curation reflects that: over-exposing third-party content over the one produced by your social network.

And maybe we are using two different websites, it's not impossible that Facebook would turn into a different product depending on your age and location.

I suspect you might be in the opposite situation wrt. Instagram. I have never seen a single post from "influencers" since I don't follow any, that is to say beside the promoted content that is being shoved down my throat since a few months.

>like a more common usage of IG is to follow "influencers"

The bulk of the usage around me seem to be Instagram stories. People still post photos but now the trend is to put them+videos in your story, sometimes along with polls, weird filters, or Q&A (you have a little box to reply). It's actually pretty fun to use!
The little box you type your credit card in is a huge pain in the ass for companies larger and small due to some compliance requirements from financial institutions called PCI. I can’t understate the ass pain, system complexity, legal review, etc etc that this can bring. Doesn’t matter if you are big or small, it’s painful and can be costly. Big companies can pay to handle that, smaller companies can’t and have relied on historically clunky solutions to take payments.

Stripe can make that little box you type your credit card painless, seamless and highly accessible for small and large companies. They are generally delivering a high quality experience throughout their process and many of their staff are generally awesome.

Full disclosure, I work at a big company and we use Stripe. I used to work at startups in the early 2000s and handled payment solutions. The world is better with Stripe.

I just appreciate the fact that Fortnite lets you pay for and buy the exact skin you want.

In most games you get a "crate" that you then have to pay $2.50 to "unlock". Half the time or more you get some crappy item no one wants or you already have. Even if you ignore the gambling aspect at best you are spending money on stuff you don't want for a small chance of something you might want - but are also likely to get it days, weeks or months after other more lucky people.

Meanwhile in Fortnite, sure they cost $8-$15 each but you can see it, you spend the money, and you get what you wanted, right then and get to use it.

Then from a business point of view they combine this with the limited time sale (buy it now or miss out, but the items always come back a week or two later to give you a second chance) and an unrelenting pile of new content so people want to buy more over time.

I rarely purchase games that are $50+.. I have spent about $120 on fortnite and feel good about it and thoroughly enjoy it. In PUBG which I purchased I spent literally only $5 to unlock two crates neither of which gave me anything remotely approaching interesting. I stopped bothering to spend anymore. I played PUBG a lot but never spent any more money on it.

It's a great success in my view.

As a side note since it also requires online servers like most games, it's likely to give them higher revenue over time to keep the servers running. A problem many up-front sale games run into unless they have a monthly subscription which is a tough business to get into and only a few games do that successfully (e.g. WoW).
Agreed. My point is that there's no good cookie retention policy under this design.
What if you moved this to Saudi Arabia or somewhere where it's always sunny? I feel like this is the grassroots movement where actual decentralization occurs-imagine a mesh network localized within cities and then somehow branching out to other.

Good homework is to implement an x86-64 mod/rm encoder.

Quite a few corner cases. Sometimes you'll need to up-convert input parameters, because some combinations can't use 8-bit offset, for example, but require a 32-bit value. RSP can't use scaling, etc.

There's also plenty of redundancy: https://www.strchr.com/machine_code_redundancy

The problem with CISC is that it gives assembler users a near infinite pit of clever tricks with which to consume their time. Though for what it's worth on RV*C you might use.

c.add t1, t0
c.slli t0, 1
c.add t0, t1

or someatt, if you were trying to be clever (though it may not gain you anything). It'd give you two whole instruction bytes to do what you were going to do with t0 before you hit another alignment boundary, or maybe it's a0 and your last instruction is a c.jr x1!

We really aren't free to stop using google or facebook. To think otherwise (IMHO), is to underestimate the reach these companies really have.

If you are on the internet, you are using facebook. You are using google.

Sure, there might be brief periods where ad blockers and similar tools black-out the info gathering capabilities of these tech giants (but only for the most privacy-conscientious among us), but they'll leap frog you in short order, one way or another. If they can't do it technologically, they'll do it politically (if we let them).

Market incentives dictate that the tech giants spend their vast resources to track and predict your behavior, in ever more accurate ways. And beyond that - to dictate your behavior. They have billions of dollars, and the worlds smartest programmers to make it reality.

The entity that learns how to predict/control human behavior the best, first, basically wins the universe. The common folk are stuck trying to figure out who the least shitty entity is to get that crown: time warner... china... google...
One of the many things that attracted me to my current company is that the employment contract specifically states that you own your stuff that you do on your own time, that doesn’t compete with the company, as long as you use your own equipment. Not really a problem for me since I have no creative ideas to start a business outside of generic cloud consulting and screening potential employees for other companies.
There's also the issue of how far each voice travels from its initial randomly chosen state to its goal frequency.

It sure sounds to me like the original algorithm sought to choose initial frequencies that would be farthest from the goal frequencies. In other words, a lot of voices traveling several octaves from low to high while others go low to high. But I haven't tested that.
For these who support google's business in China, I want to ask there FxxKers, how about apply the services for you? There's an old saying in China: "What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others."

x86 instruction encoding is best viewed in octal --- not just the ModRM, but the primary opcode too:

http://www.dabo.de/ccc99/www.camp.ccc.de/radio/help.txt

You can mentally assemble/disassemble the bulk of the commonly encountered instructions by memorising a few tables (in octal), the addressing modes being one of them. In 16-bit the memory addressing modes can be described as "one or more of {displacement}{BX,BP}{SI,DI}" and 32-bit "one or more of {displacement}{register}{scaled register}" with (e)BP as a special case.

There's a lot of truth to your comment. My hunch is that with less corruption, and better education, America would lessen inequality considerably. But catch me on a pessimistic day, I might say otherwise. As you suggest, just because something is a majority opinion, doesn't mean it's a good idea.
How to Wear Black Pants in Fall
I needed traffic from the buy-side and sell-side.

On the sell side (breeders), I can just google for new customers! Many dog breeders have their own websites. I search for dog breeders and then contact them through their website (either their webform or their published emails).

On the buy-side (people looking for pets), I pay for google ads on certain keyword searches. As my website became more relevant, the cost of the ads dropped significantly and I started getting more organic searches. Getting buy-side is more difficult for me. Once you find your new pet, you don't need to visit my website anymore, so customer retention is bad... something I need to work on.
Wait, what? From reading the git repos a bit, it seems that Lenovo and Intel have created some framework that is, in its default state, modifying the thermal MSRs every five seconds via SMI (presumably).

Let that sink in. Somehow, rather than letting the CPU run with reasonable parameters and letting the EC control fans as needed, they are forcing the system into SMM (which interrupts everything on all cores) to fiddle with thermal parameters. And they want some ridiculous user space library (DPTF) to reconfigure this mess to actually do something sensible.

WTF

edit: Wow, the Intel code in question is hilariously enterprisey. Check this out:

https://github.com/intel/dptf/blob/master/DPTF/Sources/Polic...

and that repo is full of files like SuchAndSuchFacadeInterface.h.

I swear that at least 95% of the code doesn’t do anything. Maybe 99%.

The last time I checked, the Raspberry Pi was considered unsuitable for use as an internet middlebox (or router) due to some kind of I/O bottleneck, having to do with (pardon the faded memory) its ethernet controller being attached to its USB controller instead of directly to whatever ARM's PCIe-analogue is, as well as its USB controller being a blob-encumbered Broadcom hunk-o'-jank.

Has this changed recently?

EDIT: Answer: probably not, but that's irrelevant because this Pi-hole appliance apparently just does DNS, not full traffic routing. Makes reasonable performance possible, at the cost of granularity.
There have been many free ad-supported services that don't collect your data for many years: newspapers, TV channels, radio, etc.

"Accept data collection or pay for it" is a false dichotomy. Ad-supported websites don't need data collection to be profitable, just as NBC doesn't.

Furthermore, there are many paid services that collect data as well. Last time I flew with KLM the online check-in didn't work because some JS errored out as its data collection script was blocked. Turned out it was sending data to 17 domains on the on-line checkin page:

4232724.fls.doubleclick.net
ad.atdmt.com
apps.static-afkl.com
c.webtrends.com
cdn.tagcommander.com

And KLM isn't even a budget airline like RyanAir. I paid good money for my flight.
An analysis of great VR suggests it needs approximately a peta-op of computing power for sufficient temporal and spatial resolution and motion tracking.

Yes, this is a really technical looking article, with exactly the wrong approach. I wrote up a quick thing a few weeks ago about how we set up our office WiFi (tiny office - ~25 people), on Ubiquiti:

Had a project once where we were trying to parse NOTAMs so we could program a GPS with a warning indicator if you were about to fly into a restricted airspace.

Turns out that people type what they want and the parser ended up needing to be almost a full AI. The exclusion zone around DC is a nightmare to parse for example.
If you download your maps data from Google you will see the address is still saved as it was before (in json format).

So the address is still there, they are just actively blocking you from making use of it in most of their apps (but evidently not all of them, as you noted above).
"I don't believe in the government obliging businesses to do things."

Government can already block the sale of companies, and whether they can sell certain kinds of products to certain countries. I don't think Google should be given a "free ride" to make whatever decisions they want just because they are a popular tech company.

Want to be an American company? Obey the US Government's laws and decrees. If not, they can relocate to the UK (and obey UK laws and decrees) or to the Bahamas (and obey Bahamian law and decrees) and become a non-US based entity.
Fair. However, I keep getting pushed mostly dailymail and tabloid stuff (possibly because the only person who has added me is the admin), and the UI is terrible and it eats my battery. Instagram is more sensible, at least on those fronts, and doesn't trawl my phone contacts to make suggestions - my fb friends are a far better representation of the sorts of content I'd like to see versus my phone list.

Dear Founder: A Conversation with Maynard Webb, Founder, Webb Investment Network
Nice work, it's really neat.

Some feedback: the fact that you use integers to identify registers makes it harder to read, at least for me. I like being able to spot immediate values at glance.

You could supplement the homepage with a link to a MIPS reference sheet, in particular if you use your own subset.
Containers have a lot of value. My rule of thumb is basically use containers (docker) and as little as possible of anything else in the container ecosystem. So basically put your app in a container try to not change too much from however you currently do things. There is no shame in running --net=host or just doing "-v /mnt/someebsvolume:/data." I personally like Hashicorp because their tools are simple and grow with you. Besides Hashicorp, I don't have great recommendations for tools. In my opinion the current container ecosystem is a disaster for users. Big business ideas took over and killed innovation. Simple lightweight modular systems all got annihilated by Kubernetes and now it's pretty much a monoculture.
