VR is just the most recent incarnation of the "3D vision" gimmick every generation will rediscovered and then abandon. We had multiple waves of this fad, starting with the stereoscopic novelty postcards of the 19th century, the many 3D cinema revivals (the Avatar craze even saw the rise of ludicrous 3D TVs), and now Metaverse and its ilk.

It always fails because, once the novelty of the effect wears off, people realize it's basically pointless. The extra information 3D brings is not worth the logistic cost. So they revert to regular 2D cinema, classic virtual worlds like MMORPGs etc. which are much more comfortable to experience and deliver the same basic product.

If land is not overly expensive, then vertical bifacial solar can be quite viable. With snow or a light non-vegetated surface you should expect around 15% capacity factor in the worst month at 40 degrees and it will be skewed heavily towards morning/evening and slightly toward cloudy days compared to monofacial.

Doesn't get rid of the fossil fuels on its own, but should be cheap enough to displace most coal that remains after wind at a significant profit.

Ironically, these are perfect examples of the sort of thing that developers think is better but actually turn out to be worse. I thought the same thing as the author, early on - the more detail I can cram into each message the better. What I've found, though, is that most people actually interpret that as hostility and prefer a short, quick overview followed by more detail when asked.
I cannot answer about the original rumor, but I can say in the last ten years there has been a dramatic (economic) fall for the Yakuza. Slowly, the Japan gov't has passed tighter and tighter domestic money laundering laws -- taxes, building / business permits, banking, etc. Many times I have been asked to sign a form stating no connection with "anti-social forces". The Japan gov't is putting the economic equivalent of the "sleeper hold" on Yakuza. You hardly see them now (in visibly obvious forms) except the dodgiest places. I never see anyone with a missing half their pinky finger. (Yes, it is real / weird / scary.)

If you just mean building something that uses AI then any generic tutorial online will get you started. But that’s uninteresting, so I’m going to assume you want to know what it would take to be on the teams inventing this stuff. For the most part today that means working on deep learning at a big company that has the data and compute resources required. At my work I sometimes hire AI/ML applied research scientists to work on the kind of problems you described, so I’ll explain what it takes for them to get hired and maybe that will help you figure out a plan to get there.

The interview panel is basically a phone screen with some coding (a math-centric generic problem), then an on-site that involves an hour deep dive discussion on ML fundamentals, an hour discussion on NLP, an hour on ML system design, an hour discussion on deep learning, and an hour coding up a neural network from scratch (you can import numpy), a behavioral interview, and time for the candidate to ask questions. Notice how much of the interview is discussion/theoretical; it doesn’t scale to do practical tests on all these domains during and onsite, so we fall back on these discussions. If you have only used ML libraries or only used ML services then you will likely struggle in these interviews.

From that perspective you should look for training and experience that prepares you for both theoretical and practical interviews. As basic courses, I like Andrew Ng’s ML course on Coursera and the fast.ai course is pretty useful early on too; I also like this book https://d2l.ai/ However, none of these resources is really sufficient—there’s a lot of stuff you will need to learn on the job.

Getting a first job coding is the hardest. Be willing to take lower pay if the experience will help you open doors. Take jobs that let you work with tools and tech that cover gaps in your skill set. If you have previous experience coding and you want to switch to AI/ML then you may need to take a pay cut at some point (and briefly). For some reason it’s rare that companies will value software experience in ML engineers or researchers, so they’ll downlevel when you’re hired and then scramble to promote you in six months if you’re successful on the team.

An undergrad degree in CS is very good; and a graduate degree in CS/math/stats/similar is even better. Do you need degrees? No, but your odds without them are kinda like the odds of making it into the NFL as a walk-on — low. If you already have an undergrad degree, you can check out Georgia Tech, UT Austin, UIUC and other schools that have online MSCS programs (all pretty fast and cheaper than resident programs).

Overall, if you’re serious about this then your plan should be to get to that level in like 10 years. I’m not saying you can’t even start until then—there’s lots you can do along the way. But I’m trying to create an expectation that other people who are also really smart, motivated, and interested in these problems—just like you—take about 10 years to get where they are. There’s no good shortcuts, otherwise we’d all be using them already.
Poker has the same vibe. You need to consistently made good decisions, even in the face of adversity, with the hope that the long run is long enough for those decisions to pay off.

How the world's richest person bought Twitter
I also got interested in mechanical watches about 10 years ago and bought a Vostok Amphibia to play with.

One additional burden of mechanical watch ownership is regular maintenance. This isn’t mentioned in the article, possibly because the author has not had their mechanical watch long enough to need it. But every mechanical watch eventually needs to be serviced. At least disassembled, cleaned, and re-assembled, and maybe some parts replaced.

I didn’t appreciate this until my Vostok needed it; it just stopped being reliable over time. Then I thought I should have just bought a nicer watch, but nope: even Rolexes and super expensive watches are supposed to go in every few years for servicing.

It was actually very difficult to find someone to do the Amphibia. Seiko and nicer watches have official servicing programs and networks of authorized repair shops. None of them wanted to touch an obscure cheap Russian watch.

And the watch itself only cost like $50 used… I was reluctant to spend $hundreds on a servicing. So it sits in a drawer, stopped. And I’m back to my Timex Ironman, which is on at least its 3rd battery.
I wonder if virtualization software messing with how ClearType assumes subpixel layouts could cause a lot of the dislike for ClearType in the Mac crowd, as many Mac users possibly predominately handled Windows in things like Parallels? I don't have any knowledge about how ClearType behaves in software like Parallels so I could be entirely off-base with that idea.

The only time I had dislike for ClearType was when I'd rotate a monitor from landscape to portrait. This makes sense, since the subpixel layout is then wrong. So, I'd usually just redo the ClearType settings when rotated and use the monitor in that orientation for a while instead of constantly switching.
Or publicly stated that it “would depend” on how much the U.S. will help Ukraine. Only a week or so before the Russian invasion.

Reminded me of the statement that “the U.S. wouldn’t intervene if Iraq invaded Kuwait” 30 years ago. Again only weeks before the invasion that then gave the reason for the first invasion of Iraq by the U.S.

Amazing how often these same tactics work and reliably lead to big sales for the military industrial complex.
The balance between action (decision making, shooting, dialog, etc) versus waiting (travel time, crafting time, waiting for resources from previous actions, whatever) seems like an important consideration for game designers to make.

Do you want the player to be instantly powerful or have to grind laboriously? Do you want them to run from place to place or fast travel? Craft/build instantly or take time?

I think that good games often will give you other things to do while you wait for important things. Some of my favorite games will give you too many things to do so that you must prioritize correctly or you will lose it all.

The author doesn't get his permit stamped and obviously currently has no influence. He'll probably give up, and now the jobs he would have created and imports that would have become local production won't happen. It's not an obvious good vs bad situation here, a corrupt system that allows bribes is gross, but pretending you can just act like you are in a western country with rule of law is ignoring reality.

If we could legally do so, a p2p music player would do even more, so from an engineering perspective I'm not impressed, this is the price of doing things legally I guess and even with the legalities, there is still some pushback against spotify.

I suppose the only way forward to having an actually good application is to rent a catalogue. Streaming a set of things and the application tries to organize the best it can. Decouple the application from the provider. Instead of the mess we have now... but alas, that's just wishful thinking.
Why would losing Tesla and SpaceX be incredible?
RGB is used for describing the colour of light if you are a web developer like me you will never need anything else. CMYK is used for printed colours that reflect light and as such there isn't a direct correlation between them.

For example RGB blue #0000ff is so bright it can not be printed, if you tried it would look a lot darker blue than the screen shows. This issue with printed colours looking different from screen space colours is that printed colours will also look different depending on the surface they are printed onto and a variety of other variable.

Your work around is fine for me as I work in RGB and would really only need the Pantone when im printing once every 5 years? If you are a print designer then you will be using the colours all day every day and having to switch or a reference that isn't exact results in expensive printing mistakes.
I got back into it recently after years of not wanting to carry a bulky camera around. I justified it after realizing that "wanting the shot" with my fancy camera drove me to be much more adventurous. If you're thinking seriously about it, I'd highly recommend just about any Fujifilm mirrorless. The XT-4 is kinda defined by film camera ergonomics - primarily meaning that is has the dials you expect from classic pro film cameras (exposure comp, shutter, iso).
I don't think what I'm saying is broad, there are many SJW minded people who fall into harassing/blacklisting/doxxing
Yes, Pantone describes inks using samples of actual products because it is in the business of selling ink.

Familiarity is the big design advantage of Pantone color. I look at the samples, pick a color, and that’s what I will get. Whether or not my monitor is calibrated or whether or not I am using a computer at all.

From a business perspective, if you’re logo is Reflex Blue, then any reputable print shop can print your leave-behinds and any decent sign shop can make your tradeshow display.

"Modern Art" does not mean "abstract art" or even "today's art." Picasso is absolutely one of the main names in the modern art movement. "Abstract art" is also not the same as "contemporary art" and is much more associated with the middle of the 20th century than art produced in the last several decades.
They (especially Windows 11 on supported hardware) are far more secure than older versions of Windows.

That said, I don't really consider Windows "secure", when it's still filled with legacy cruft that was written before Microsoft's focus on secure coding. We are still seeing font exploits in 2022, FFS.

The track Windows 11 is headed seems like a decent approach given realities. For whatever reasons, Microsoft's efforts to eliminate legacy cruft has proved unsuccessful/untenable, so the next best compromise is to harden the OS against itself and everything else.
I completely agree with this, yet people have a hard time accepting it because hunger evokes so much emotion.

This is really important. I've got 700 GB (and growing) of archived YouTube videos. Started downloading them a few months ago because I had noticed older stuff disappearing.

Who knows how many videos in my specific sub-interest (ASMR videos, for the curious) are already lost forever. I try not to think about that. I've got a representative sample archived and am working to keep up with the new stuff that gets posted. Anything added to the archive is picked up by Jellyfin for later perusal. From here I can create playlists, tweak metadata, etc...

A video or two being taken down for creative reasons by the author is one thing. YouTube making executive decisions to delist videos or channels is entirely different.

Google has had it too good for too long with YouTube being the de-facto video host of the Internet. Society at large is at fault for buying in so completely.

I just want important examples of an interesting art form to stand the test of time. And if you want something done right...
There is a floor where browsing the web is _painful_, and the pi is definitely in that category on any site that isn't hackernews levels of javascript.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is interesting in that it rejects most classical and modern Western philosophy. To find anything that speaks to it in the West, you have to read pre-Plato fragments (Heraclitus), or Nietzsche, or the fringes of Process Philosophy.

Even then, you probably won't be any closer to understanding quality but you'll at least be more confident in its existence and be able to vaguely conceptualize it.

For me, the starting point is a deep appreciation for the ancient Greek state of mind called Arete (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arete). I say 'state of mind' because it was only transformed into a 'concrete concept' later. The Wikipedia article doesn't do it justice as it has been Plato-ized but.. it is something.

Pre-Plato, it was a way of existing predicated on becoming or approaching excellence (as opposed to being a something). It isn't confined to a discipline or occupation and you never 'get there'. For Nietzsche, it enabled a key component of the Will to Power, self-overcoming.
Exactly and he more or less spells this out in his letter. He compares his vision for Twitter to that of how how video games and movies work today. People choose what they want to hear and see and everything else is ignored. Pornography exists with Disney movies which exists with violent movies, etc, and we pick and choose what we want to see.

I think it would be great if users could join communities that the members of moderate and regulate and can set rules such as only people that are members of a particular group or "friend groups" can engage with the group. This is more closely how the real world works.

And yes there will be scumbags but they'll just not be able to engage with groups of people that aren't interested in them.

As a part-time artist who prints abstract digital art, I’ve had this happen to me - had my art hung upside-down from what I intended in a gallery show. It’s one reason I started signing the bottom right corner of the work, and framing with hanging wire well offset vertically from the center. But in at least one case I remember, I discussed the orientation with a buyer of the work and we agreed that the upside-down mistake actually looked better, and I endorsed them hanging it that way. Sometimes the orientation may be critical to the intent, and sometimes it’s not particularly relevant. It’s too bad we can’t ask Mondrian himself. I don’t know anything about his history or personality, anyone have any idea if orientation really mattered to him or whether he’s the kind of artist that would be open to someone preferring an upside-down version?

I'm still convinced this is how he makes more than half of all of his decisions (see for example, him 'building a submarine' or 'boring/loop'). His success seems to be because he sometimes takes already-known-obvious-good bets that no other person could take first because they aren't billionaires.

I don't think it's a political play, so much as he got angry and impulsive and jumped in without thinking, couldn't back out, and desperately needs to ret-con this into making any sense, so is pivoting in into a political play.
Funny because it's been a few months that the algorithm has been getting worse at giving personal suggestions. I used to have a lot of videos I enjoyed on my feed (maybe 75% of the time I didn't have to scroll to find something I'd be willing to watch) and now I often end up scrolling a lot to find a suitable suggestion. And when I watch one all I get as a suggestion is all of the things I didn't want before + another video from the same channel of the video I just watched.

I don't know if people experience the same but I feel like I'm just being fed whatever is trending now instead of things I actually want to watch.
