I watched some examples with the PSVR (PlayStation 4 VR) headset. It isn't that good. I never felt like I was sitting in the courtside, but probably because the quality of the video isn't that good. Also, it is very umcorfortable to keep moving your head to follow the plays. In real life you only move your eyes, not your head.
Depends on how much you want to spend. Vive is still a decent choice, but a little on the pricey side compared to similar alternatives like the Rift (OG and S) and WMR headsets.

Honestly, if you've got a PC that can handle it and you want to try some high-quality PC VR titles, the Rift S is probably a pretty good choice. Otherwise, if you're looking for something cheaper, you can often find WMR headsets on sale for ~$200.
The AP can only kill you if you're distracted/asleep at the wheel and not paying attention. You're always in charge of driving the car appropriately, the "AP" can only provide tentative assistance of a very rough sort. It will try to guess at the control inputs you might want to provide (which does make things a bit more comfortable in the best case) but the actual control always rests with the human driver.
Perhaps. The company I helped out built out rev share as well as other things to help encourage bouncers to use the app, like a shared capacity counter so that multiple bouncers on multiple doors (maybe one person doing an "in" door and someone else on an "out" door around the corner) could keep an accurate capacity count. Was still a tough sales problem. Had to sell the club owner, had to sell the bouncers, and then had to reach and sell the club-goers.

FWIW the company closed down because they couldn't solve the business problem.

Edit: This is also a concept I've seen at like Startup Weekends before. IMO for Qwest to make this work, they need some really strong business connections or a really fresh take on it, which they may have.

This would be really interesting to explore. You can already export a pure-text version of your song (under Share), but it would be amazing to have a more reliable document that included things like metadata as well. Thanks for the thought!
> if later killing animals for meat gets banned, people won't have anything to compare it to.

Well, that shouldn't matter in my view. Do we need to keep human slaves around to compare their effectiveness with that of modern robots? If enough people in society see something as "wrong," then the alternative doesn't need to be superior in every way.

In my opinion, it's already long been "there" for seated, cockpit games. If you mostly play racing/flying games then you're using VR basically all of the time.

Otherwise there's still a dearth of "traditional" games in VR, although this is gradually starting to change.
x86 seems reasonable to me:

Fast array bounds checking is, handling the lower bound by unsigned integer math :

cmp index,bound
ja crash_handler

Overflow handling is mostly

jo crash_handler

That's 1 or 2 instructions and the jump has perfect prediction. I'd assume the cost is negligible compared with jump mispredicts and cache misses.

I read somewhere the main problem is LLVM not being quite capable of optimizing these decently: It has to handle all these extra jumps which causes lots of extra basic blocks.

I've been seeing these types of articles at the very least since the start of this decade.

Here's one from 8 years ago, and there is at least some overlap in the comments.

Not that there isn't progress. There certainly is. You can now buy actual products (albeit quite overpriced, considering the average American can't really afford to spend 200% of their food budget on a whim). However, it's important to keep in mind how much meat people eat, especially in the States. I think the average consumption is somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 lb/year. Here's a graph from 2012

https://www.npr.org/news/graphics/2012/06/gr-meatcomsuptionp...

Let's set a reasonable goal of 10% of that being converted to lab grown meat. We'd need 5 billion pounds (10% of 2012 level) of lab produced meat every year. How close are we to that amount of commercial production? How much more efficient is it in terms of fossil fuel use? 50%? 75%?

It's a great initiative, but simply reducing the amount of meat we eat (imagine having 1 meat-free day/week) is likely to be more effective than this, at least in the near future.
> Japan, which has a national zoning law, is the right model. In our system, we'd apply it at the state level.

I agree with you on this, however, Japan regulated AirBNB because renting a room for a short period of time is a pure commercial activity and not allowed in Residential areas.
Go's modules are quite a lot nicer than Java's or Python's dependency management / build tools. JavaScript only recently got its act together. Can't speak to Ruby, but Rust is the only one that got it right the first time. Dependency management is only recently a "solved problem".

> Go me, and I'm not trying to be disrespectful here, because of the shortcomings it has, Go is in the experimental/keep an eye on bucket. It does some things really, really well but it's far from the panacea most developers that use it think it is.

Go is definitely a production-ready language, and indeed it powers much of the most important software that has been written since it went 1.0 (particularly in the Cloud and DevOps spaces). It's not perfect, but it's really, really good and improving steadily.
I own a Vive and a Rift, have toyed around with VR development, and build some VR stuff at work sometimes.

I haven't used VR in my home (or to play a game anywhere) in over a year. It's just a huge pain in the ass to set up, and I don't have a great spot to play in my apartment.

Once it's set up, the experience of being in VR is great. The controllers are good, and the hardware is great (other than the setup). There just aren't any games or other software I'm interested in playing.

I'm looking forward to Oculus Quest for helping with ease of use.
Proposed reason that just popped into my head, and could be wrong: advertising that cannot be targeted to individuals is less effective, so there is less competition for it. Thus prices are low relative to ads that can be targeted. Thus companies with a wide target demographic can buy these spots cheaper, while companies that are targeting a specific niche get more bang for their buck from relatively expensive targeted ads.
I would think the several reflective construction signs with arrows would be enough. Also there is an impact attenuator (buckets of water). It's also cut too soon to the turn to know whether there was more signs leading up to it.
What do you mean "take care of them"? If they're not allowed to restrict you from displaying their ads next to ads from other networks, that's the exact thing the spammy websites were doing.
Your story shows an example of doing things the "proper way" - you operate by-the-book, you take responsibility for the property, and you're an active local small biz participant.

The bigger issue is the people not doing these things. There are hosts (and guests) that simply don't give a fuck about others. Hosts (especially ones that don't live in the area) couldn't care less about their impact on the neighborhood as long as money keeps coming into their bank account, and will try their hardest to take shortcuts and avoid responsibility. Some "hosts" are more like wannabe slumlords. "Bad actor" guests also don't care about what happens to a place they are going to leave, which leads to things like trash, disturbances, and stealing.

A problem with Airbnb is that properties are not siloed; there is an environment around them. There's many places on Airbnb that are better than hotels, and there's a lot of economic impact on local communities. Airbnb needs to re-evaluate how these places are part of a community rather than isolated from one.

The "sunshine and rainbows" sentiment behind why Airbnb exists is a nice thought, but the platform is rolling into a snowball of consequences and externalities. Assholes are going to be assholes, so many bad experiences are not from normal transactions, but from assholes using Airbnb to their advantage and Airbnb turning their cheek.
They obviously over promised on Airpower. My suspicion was that these Airpods weren't originally supposed to be Qi compatible (only Airpower compatible), but the delay of Airpower forced their hand and they probably had to redesign these. I think this is a better outcome (even though I was trying to hold out for wireless charging to buy any in the first place) because now you're not beholden to Apple Airpower for charging these wirelessly.
Because the same things that confuse humans can confuse computers that are largely trained with human data.

This is good and rings true. I've taken it a step further with my definition of "Good Enough Programming" -- Implementing technology has two primary goals: it delivers value and you can walk away from it. To fail at either of these two goals isn’t good enough. [1]

The reason simple systems sometimes involve into successful complex systems is because development is completely decoupled from business needs. You code it, you watch to see how useful it is. Complex systems, on the other hand, are tightly-coupled. You code it, it needs changing, you spend a lot of time fretting over impedance mismatch, upgrades, patches, and so forth, instead looking and evaluating true value. In fact the more complex a system is, the less you're able to evaluate both its current and potential value.

Well, testing in the strict sense would be measuring accuracy on data not in the training set, and even accuracy on the training set data (which isn't guaranteed to be 100% I believe)
>Gall says nothing about the simplest thing, only that _SUCCESSFUL_, complex systems grow out of simple small ones

Fixed. Missing a key word. The whole point of the law is that complex systems can be built from scratch but will fail. The successful ones grew organically.

I am, but I'm more worried about the direct unnecessary cruelty applied to millions of animals today. To me, it's easily a risk worth taking, though I understand that not everyone would agree with that assessment.
"If security didn't matter, we wouldn't have consultants earning 500k+ per year doing glorified QA."

That's like saying "If elevators didn't matter, we wouldn't have elevator operators." But oh wait, we solved that problem. Future generations will likely solve the problem for the need for security. But today's society is so ignorant of the attributes that lead to abhorrent behavior that they cannot even fathom that security will become a non-issue in the future.
Traditionally, the allocation would nevertheless be made. Effect would be that the stack and the memory allocator shared memory.

That typically doesn’t go well for long. The moment you write to that local variable (which technically need not happen, but if you don’t write to it, why have the variable at all?), you overwrite data in the heap and/or heap data structures. That will become a problem when the program reads that data or when the memory allocator walks the heap.

Debugging this kind of problem is hard, as the buggy code often will run fine. It ‘just’ triggers problems at some unspecified later time, likely in a completely unrelated part of the program.

So, guard pages ‘below’ the stack were added. They trigger exceptions that kill the offending program when it tries to write to or read from those pages. That doesn’t fully prevent this problem; large stack objects may jump over the protected area (especially in 32-bit code, you don’t want to give up lots of virtual address space to such guard pages, and the amount of address space ‘lost’ can add up fast in multi-threaded programs)

Another way to detect this is to periodically (say in an interrupt handler, or whenever a call to the memory allocator is made) check that the stack pointer has a valid value. That isn’t sure-fire, either. Firstly, it can only detect problems after the fact and secondly, it may not see short violations of the rules.

I feel it's important to note that the vive will still function with just one base station, it just won't give you as much coverage. I use it this way in my office when I'm working on Potioneer since I have limited room and I'm putting it on and taking it off so frequently to test.
> I'd define "there" as at least 0.5 * time spent on console or PC gaming per week.

I spent a lot more time in VR than console and PC gaming because I'm a fan of VR rather than a fan of pancake gaming.

I was a very occasional gamer prior to VR. But I'm in VR nearly every day.

There is no need to speculate about bias. There is a link to a full hour interview above with the UN rapporteur for Venezuela about the facts on the ground. What is a more credible source?

UN reports are routinely used by the US, Europe, the global media and many others as credible sources.

Given there is a history of illegal regime change and installing puppet regimes in South America that cause suffering to millions of people there is a clear need for anyone genuinely concerned about human rights and democracy to be wary of self serving interests using propaganda to further their own agendas.
Despite what the media tries to tell you, shooting people in the US is not common. The media has an agenda on you thinking otherwise.
> The tab key should always accept the current autocomplete option

I was with them right until here. Tab is a well-known button that has one function: going to the next selectable element. Not do something funky with your autocomplete list. If I want to tab to the "go" button that is after the autocomplete list, then I expect tab to take me there. How else would I do it? I'm not visually impaired, but I hate having to move over to the mouse to leave your input field (feels like Flash Player all over again).

Of course, if I selected an item and then press tab, then the value of the suggestion should be used together with sending my focus on its way.

An earlier item should solve this, so you don't need to use tab to use the suggestion:

> The action to make use of [your input] must be a different key than the action to [make use of the autocomplete]

(If I understood that correctly in the first place, the sentence is a little convoluted.) But to hijack a perfectly useful button? That's a no-go. I'm not even sure what other keys you could use: space should usually be a space, enter would go using your input (unless you selected a suggestion with the down arrow maybe), so what's left that does not have an alternate function, caps lock? Sysrq? Or something like shift+enter?

Agreed; I imagine they use neural networks to detect and classify objects which are then saved into a scene-graph for use in pathing.

I expect what happened was that they trained their NNs for improved detection in one area but unknowingly reduced it in another. Perhaps now it can detect tricycles 99% but road barriers went down to only 30%. Having worked with NNs it's very common to see gains in one domain which come at a cost of reduced performance in another.

Meat production is such a big contributor to climate change that I’m all for this kind of research. But, I also think more people will simply go some form of mostly vegetarian / vegan in the coming years (optimistically).

I stopped eating meat about four years ago. Like cutting out anything, it was hard for a few weeks but no longer. I have no desire for meat anymore and fully enjoy my diet. I’m technically pescatarian, but only very occasionally because overfishing is a huge problem as well. I also have gained muscle, and leaned out at the same time. Lots of factors at play, like exercising more, stressing less, etc — but I mention it because a lot of people think that being vegetarian or vegan means giving up on fitness goals like getting more muscular.

If there’s some aspect of you that wants to try cutting down on meat, give it a shot. Give it a few weeks, and go easy on yourself.

Addressing climate change will likely involve making personal choices about how best to decrease your footprint. If you can switch to a vegetarian diet, you’ll be making a pretty substantial move towards that goal — and there’s the bonus of not contributing to the morally questionable system of industrial slaughterhouses.
I have the same experience, especially as I don't really want my food to be 'meaty' - it's been decades since I ate meat. I am excited about the implications of lab-grown meat though, not because I want to eat it myself, but because it should mean a huge decrease in the amount of resources we channel into producing meat, and a huge decrease in animal suffering. Of course, what I don't see being discussed too much is that we would still expect the health implications of eating a lot of meat, from whatever source, will continue to be serious - people should still only have a couple of vat-burgers a week...

Watching the video, '2019.5.15 - Try 2' is interesting. You can see the car moving normally, then it starts to follow the black crack in the road and moves to the right- at this moment, the white Nissan in front is blocking the white lines ahead where the lanes actually split.

Does AP use other cars as reference points, or just the road? Ideally in this situation it would be both: "The line has disappeared, and there's a new one now, but that car went over it". Instead it seems to just be following whatever lines it can see. Does that make sense?

Note- not at all defending the AP behavior here. Just thinking out loud.

No, I am viewing this as a general world-wide trend, censoring for _any_ reason you can get people to agree with first. Then, when people agree to censorship in general, they won't fight it when it get's really bad, mainly because they won't know it's happening. (consider China)

The actual "really bad" results of this is years away still. But this is how freedom of speech is stripped away. Under the guise of safety, one tiny piece at a time.

Would George Washington have fought the British if the British had succeeded is censoring every pamphlet? Would India have succeeded in escaping the power of Britain if Ghandi couldn't speak openly?

If the cost of censorship is tyranny world wide, it's not worth it.

We _need_ freedom of speech, even if it allows kooks the same platform, that is cost we should be willing to pay.
