A lot of people are bringing up the fact that some headsets like the Oculus Quest aren't tethered to a PC.

I'm here to say that being tethered to a PC is a feature, not a bug.

The advantage to being tethered to a PC is processing power. Any standalone headset is going to be running purely off of batteries. That means there are MASSIVE trade-offs in processing power, especially for the graphics. The GPU in a standalone headset like the Oculus Quest is going to be about as powerful as your phone's GPU or a Nintendo Switch, meaning it won't hold a candle to the power of a mid-grade desktop GPU. Yeah, sure, games are going to be made with that in mind, but it will definitely limit the graphical quality. You might think "Well I don't care much about graphics", but you'll find many game devs unwilling to make a lower quality port of their game in order to support lesser hardware. In other words, there just simply won't be as many games made for the Quest as their will be for desktop. Every PC will have the power to run a Quest game, but Quest will not have the power to run every PC game.
> It's just a huge pain in the ass to set up

The trick is to leave it set up ;-)

But is it really that hard? I use a Rift in a hot-desking office and setting it up takes all of 30 seconds each time I move. The room setup doesn't need to be redone. I don't bother with the guardian boundary for front-facing cameras. I just plug in the USB+HDMI and I'm done.
This looks interesting and I'll try it out. I've been using a spreadsheet successfully to store many of these elements:
- one row per bar
- columns for bar number, chords, patch settings or drum patterns, lyrics, notes

Breaking lyrics strictly on the bar initially seems unintuitive, but in practice it works well. Including pre-roll bars means the spreadsheet corresponds exactly to my DAW. As I work through the arrangement and production I'll tweak the spreadsheet and keep it up to date.

I also copy the spreadsheet to a new tab, rearrange and resize it so I can print it out one one page (lyric-heavy tracks take two). There's a bit of messy cutting and pasting in this, but I've got quite quick at it and it means that while recording I can have all this information in front of me without using any screen real estate. When I've finished the last of these printouts, often with scribbled notes all over it, goes into a folder in case I need to do a remix.

I look forward to giving Songcraft a go!
Atheism Is Inconsistent with the Scientific Method
I've been living here for 9 years now, I think I'm in great position to see what's going on. I don't buy your argument for many reasons, most of which I mentioned in my original post. The low-class, ghetto criminal element has nothing to do with Winter Music Conference or South Beach culture. If you go through the links I included in my original post and look at some videos, it'll quickly become apparent.

These people have been enabled by dirt cheap Airbnb prices. Traditional hotels have higher prices but also enforce codes of behavior that tend to limit if not outright ban the incidents I described. Simply, you can't get away with behaving like that in a hotel. You have to keep up appearances. Even in a party town like Miami Beach. Not to mention there's competition for the rooms with regular tourists. Airbnb allows a gang of 20 ppl to rent a single room and come here to wreak havoc.
So ignorant consumers become totally reliant on getting medical information only from doctors?

Meta: wondering if it exists a law about all the various repertoried laws.

(Nothing negationist on my part but lately I've observed that I'm internally more critical and usually take all these laws with a grain of salt, I'm feeling less and less wanting to generalize everything, of course maybe I'm wrong but, it seems I've caught a kind of law-fatigue, I hope it's nothing serious :) ).

> Tracking is a joke with the Rift v1 (consumer version). Decent for a few hours and then randomly everything gets all screwed up

You are literally the only person I've heard this from.
Quick question about Oculus setup: do you need to install some proprietary drivers, register on Facebook, run some additional "launcher" software to play games on Steam?
It's hard to recommend either.

The Vive/CV1 have lower resolution, as they are older devices. They are equivalent or better in all other aspects (the Vive has an OEM wireless solution using WiGig, but is isn't as cheap as I'd like).

The Rift S has higher resolution and therefore less screen-door effect, which is a MASSSIVE deal. Despite the following criticism, resolution does make the choice genuinely hard. There's nothing else special about it, unless you intend to have a mobile VR setup. The supposed benefit of inside-out tracking is the setup complexity, but one hour once-off is a substantial cost to pay for substantially inferior technology. My fireplace can interfere with the lighthouses: you get yanked right out of the experience when controller tracking is lost, it is awful.

There's also the Pimax, if you don't mind looking ridiculous and having a pretty heavy device strapped to your face.

My best recommendation is that VR is like furniture. You have to try it before buying it. Try and find a store that has demos of the devices and see which compromises you prefer. Spend at least 30 min in each. Just keep the setup time of the Vive and CV1 in mind (it's not hard, just time consuming). The CV1 also devours USB2 ports.
Millions of drivers per year use roads like this in California and Washington. They’re not very confusing for a human driver who’s paying attention.
The weight is a big factor - even if you use the headset while lying on a couch, after an hour your face will look like raccoon's.
There are religious groups that take a literalist stance on scriptures and interpret the rules therein as checklists of arbitrary codes to adhere to because reasons, but that's not really how most serious theology or religious thought works.

Generally religious scholars are scholars because they're trained in an intellectual tradition that involves understanding the underlying logic behind the rules so that they can be applied to the changing times and evolving contexts. That's the whole point of having a clergy in the first place. If it was just rote memorization of a rule book you wouldn't need them.

Talmundic law has managed to continue updating itself based on extrapolations of the underlying logic behind restrictions in the source text. Here is an example: http://www.kashrut.com/articles/buffalo/

And in Hinduism, the dietary restrictions are based on practical considerations around how the food is produced and its perceived metabolic impact on the body and mind. There is an established framework for evaluating any food by these standards.
I think the native platform is well covered already. Musescore and Tux Guitar (which despite the name is available cross-platform, not just on Linux) do pretty much everything you might possibly need as far as simple songwriting goes, plus a lot more.

No, TeX was a second try. From the TeXBook:

"The \TeX\ language described in this book is similar to the author's first attempt at a document formatting language, but the new system differs from the old~one in literally thousands of details. Both languages have been called \TeX; but henceforth the old language should be called \TeX78, and its use should rapidly fade away. Let's keep the name \TeX\ for the language described here, since it is so much better, and since it is not going to change any more."
Oh how I hate the use of "crypto" to mean "cryptocurrency." In this case, it's made the title ambiguous since random number generators are a legit field of cryptographic research. The only thing that would save the reader is that legit cryptographers are probably not going to "hype" a random number generator.
I mean, I do think it's way too easy for someone to say something horrible, and then get off with no consequences because they claim it's just a joke (or locker room talk... cough).

I'm not exactly sure where we draw the line socially. I don't really have a problem with something like The Colbert Report, but I also really hate the "shitlord" movement that seems to be happening.
Exactly. Entire blocks of stacked, brick-like units are being rented out dirt-cheap through Airbnb and of course attract the clientele one would expect.
The frames from the 2018 should not be part of the training. They should be part of the test set to prove whatever training they do works.
Seems simple to you and me. But there are plenty of non-technical bosses who will direct everyone in the company to only use expiring e-mails because they don't really understand the consequences.
Unfortunately, they can answer everything, the only problem there won't ever be any logic nor sound reasoning behind it.
The https://www.vive.com/us/vive-deluxe-audio-strap/ makes a significant difference in the comfort of the Vive. But, it's still not at comfortable as the Rift because of the momentum caused by the front weight.

Between the cost and the PSVR-style hard headstrap (big improvement in comfort) I'd recommend the Rift-S strongly for consumers even though the Vive Pro is preferable for researchers.
That makes a lot of sense.

I guess the parallel for me would be using Rack as opposed to Rails for Ruby.

Thanks for responding!
Seems like it would have been sufficient to cause the crash, or are you saying that if the pilots let MCAS do its thing that the plane would not have crashed?

This, for sure, but also the AirPod case can be charged whenever, whereas you usually want to charge your phone at night.

I’m struggling to find words to explain what I mean ... there’s rarely a time when I realise I need to charge my AirPods and it’s an inconvenience, whereas the phone always seems to run low at just the wrong time. I dunno.

Plus, you can have the AirPods in your ears, listening to a thing, while the case charges. This takes nothing away from your experience. You can use your iPhone while it charges, but that’s a PITA because now you’re tethered to a wall.

TL;DR: charging them isn’t an issue that should prevent you from buying them. They’re amazing.

Yes, the problem is indeed that there's no real way to "look into" a neural network and understand how it has been trained. All you can do is observe that the given inputs generate the desired outputs.

Even if there was training based on the 2018 frames, that doesn't mean that you have verifiably fixed the problem. It's difficult to train a neural network selectively – every time you "train" the network with additional data, you are increasing the chance that you are also teaching it something you didn't intend which then can have a side-effect in some seemingly unrelated scenario.

You can see this in real life with image recognition networks. Teach them too much and they gradually become less effective at identifying anything.
In addition to your presented options:

3) Bus

4) Kid Walks/cycles themself

5) Mom drives them herself

With these already being available options, I don't understand why anyone would be trying to solve what appears to me to be a solved problem, getting kids to school.
If you like playing Poker, PokerStars VR is a blast. It's free (There's not even an option to pay money, and you only play with fake money)

I've spent over 100 hours in it. Having the player interaction makes it so fun. Desktop online poker just feels like playing with bots.

I grew up in Miami and Miami Beach since the 80s. Miami Beach, and Ocean Drive have never been what you described. When I lived there fights, shootings, and prostitution was quite flagrant on Ocean. Before being redeveloped into million dollar condos, SoFi was a ghetto.

Spring Break is fairly new to the area. Prior to that the college students would hit Daytona, Panama City, or Key West. And long before that Fort Lauderdale was the Spring Break destination (showing my age).

The traditional family-owned restaurants started being driven out in 2014, to be replaced by new investor backed concepts because the rent was too high. Joe's Stone Crabs owns it spot and isn't going anywhere, I can't say the same for the restaurants around it. AirBnB didn't cause restaurants to close, speculators did.

Finally, it is the season of the snowbird. Every beach is packed with foreign tourists staying in their vacation homes on 6 month visas. When June arrives they'll leave, they always do.

Also, prior to this spring break there was only a few reasons to go to Ocean, Spring Break, Memorial Day, and Fourth of July. Now, city council and local organizations have planned street festivals basically every weekend between here and eternity.

All to say that very little of what's going on on Ocean Dr has anything to do with AirBnB.
I use xterm for the same reason. It's really fast and lightweight in terms of memory usage and dependencies. With a tiling window manager, I don't need many features other terminals provide. urxvt feels closer in terms of latency, and offers some extra features.

A slight annoyance is that since xterm is quite old, it doesn't stick to some conventional X variables and renders colors in a slightly inconsistent way. So configuration of e.g. fonts requires an extra line or two in .Xresources. And if you run redshift, it looks a bit different than other applications. Since xterm is seeing active development again, I hope some of this gets fixed.

Only eshell feels slightly faster, something that this post kind of confirms. Eshell is a very interesting alternative to classical shells. Too bad it's a bit unfinished and sparsely documented.
I think this is easier to do depending on where you live. For example, being a vegetarian in California is far more practical than in Korea or Vietnam.

I say that because your environment depends on how difficult this transition will be, don’t put too much pressure on yourself.

Not necessarily, as the sibling mentioned load of the table matters, but also the fact that the single loop has to do other housekeeping may also mean that it could ruin any cache prefetching that could be happening because of the less predicable pattern. Ideally the housekeeping variables are going to be in registers but that's not always going to be possible. In this case, two loops that look at the data sequentially are going to predict very very nicely and probably load more of the cache as it's searching than anything that could be random.

I would assume that this is caused by emacs having some pretty complex logic to minimize screen updates to absolute minimum in order to support slow serial links to text terminals which is presumably also used in graphical modes.
I’m down with the message of this site but directing people to “just use Hugo + Netlify” leaves out crucial steps for non-devs. While there’s a link to a how-to it assumes a level of knowledge many, like myself, don’t yet have.

It would be cool if there were instructions for neophytes. I’ve been interested in hosting a static blog but haven’t found resources that outline how.

Potentially the audience for VR could be bigger than the audience for consoles as it opens up entire categories of non-gaming applications. Experiential, narrative, educational, social etc.

I've had very positive responses to VR from people that have never had any interest in traditional gaming.

Of course - whether this interest could be translated to purchase is a different question. Ease of use and cost would help as would a wide and diverse library of mainstream content.

I think a good stepping stone would be pervasive VR in schools, libraries, galleries etc. to get people accustomed to the medium.
Sure, if you construe the meaning of 'fixed' to mean 'roll back all events and time', which I don't think anyone expects. They probably fixed the software bug.

This argument would be a bit different if we were losing 30,000 people a year in airliner crashes, instead of approximately zero.
A significant difference, too, is the US operators opted for the supplemental alerting package (a paid upgrade) for MCAS (see "AOA DISAGREE"). This might have made the difference on the two accident aircraft had they had that same package.
I agree, but don't understand how this connects to our conversation. All I mean is that there are many interesting and profound states that one can achieve through meditation (or other means), the vast majority of which are not nirvana -- though they may seem to share some surface similarities when described in rough English.
As a Dance Dance Revolution player, I can tell you that it affects rhythm games too. I don't have the exact values, but DDR is unplayable with a PS2 on most hi-def flatscreens because of the scale-up lag, even when you choose the "gaming mode" that optimizes for speed.

> Why can't someone release a decent gen 2 headset with the upgrades that everyone has been wanting.

Seriously. If anyone "should" be the one to be pushing things forward it's Oculus. Yet they seem dead set on bringing this to the masses, rather than releasing a "PRO" headset.

The money may be in the masses, but it sure feels like a big FU from oculus for them to seemingly abandon the pro consumer.

I think those are just the different classes of headphones. Even with wired headphones earbuds were my daily driver. I had over the ear for isolation on airplanes, but they were way too inconvenient for day to day and kind of gross if I was working out. There are a bunch of other big types, but I've never had a need for things like in-ear monitors or open air headphones.

My wife was actively looking for something with active "pass thru" and tried a few headphones. I suspect (like you) she was expecting airpods to have more isolation because she's very happy with them.

I imagine your MBP supports different bluetooth specs and is slightly older. Since people upgrade their phones more often they tend to get these things first. Last month I got a loaner MBP and completely forgot my mouse requires BT4 and would work. I never tried airpods, but I suspect they either wouldn't work at all or be forced to use higher-powered, older BT protocols. I also remember hearing something about the mic being on in unexpected circumstances, killing battery life.
Tell me, what's the difference of simply importing a JavaScript file with your service code compared to injecting the service with DI in Angular? At the end of the day, Vue is just a UI library. From here you can build your application architecture the way you like. So the difference to Angular is, that Angular is a complete framework which tells you how to define services the Angular way. In React and Vue, you just do that how you would do it in vanilla JavaScript.
The new case supports both, and it would be unwise to get rid of charging via a cable. It works great in a car or on the go.

But I would do inductive 99% of the time, most likely at night while I sleep.
If an ad network wants to put restrictions on the volume of ad space in comparison with content on the page, they can do so, but requiring exclusivity isn't the same thing as that.
Co-ops don't address the causes of coercive economic relations though. If they did they'd be much more common - Walmart and John Lewis both exist but they simply can't compete effectively in the same market. The only way to counter a Walmart is with a union - and a really aggressive one, too.
