Watching a 2D film on a stereo 3D VR device sorta makes sense that it's not super interesting. Other than being able to resize the screen and reposition it, you're not getting much.

The games are crappy right now, I agree.

I think few die-hard VR or AR enthusiasts would argue that the content and use cases have a long way to go. Most games are either more akin to going to a paintball course or playing DDR than they are similar to sitting down to play a classic video game. Which is a fun experience but clearly isn't gaming.

And the blockbuster 2D game ports to VR are few and far between, and it's not fun playing Skyrim for the 50th time just because now it's stereo 3D.

For me, I've found that stereo video recorded on high end stereoscopic 180 degree camera setups is really compelling. For example video recorded using ZCam K2 Pro. The only studios really using that tech extensively currently are for adult video. For me the best of those experiences feels like the future, the next big medium. If it were possible to combine 6 degrees of freedom with stereo video, I am convinced it'd be immediately successful, but I still think 3 degree of freedom stereo video that's possible today is far superior to flat video.

I can envision future Hollywood or Netflix productions where you feel like you're watching from an invisible drone floating right there in the scene, with full depth and a sense of real scale. It will take new artistic direction, things like panning the camera become nausea-inducing for some viewers but incredibly presence-inducing for others (if moved slowly enough and with a gimbal). Cuts feel different, too many fast cuts too quickly are much more difficult to visually process in stereo than on a laptop screen. But on the other hand, some editing effects like a dissolve are incredibly trippy and a new type of experience in VR. Seeing double vision where both scenes have depth is really interesting. Anyway, it's closer to watching a play in a theater or being at Sleep No More than watching a TV show.

The bottleneck right now is content and production costs, that's about it.
The meta-game of game design: how do you design a game whose mechanics lead to incentives that align with your intentions is a fascinating area. It also has deep connections to policy design in politics.

In the political arena, it gets so much more complex because you have disagreement on intentions and people deliberately obfuscating their intentions. So you've got people arguing over legislation who are trying to aiming the laws have different emergent properties.
> stop being so cheap and spend some money to make your lives easier.

How many times have you been sold on the idea that X tool is gonna make life easier without any tradeoffs only to be disappointed? It’s happened so many times to me, I’ve lost count.

Developers understand the inherent complexity involved with adding dependencies because we are paid to understand and manage that complexity in our jobs.

I pay for lots of software as an engineer, but I’ve lost count of the number of times that I’ve purchased a subscription that only did 80% of what I needed, which ultimately led me to churn as a customer.
Bit of a tangent topic I think -- any specification of group classification and fairness will have the same issues presented.

If we want to remove stereotypes, I reckon better data is required to piece out the attributes that can be causally inferred to be linked to poorer outcomes.

As likely not even the Judeo-Christian version of God can logically be that omniscient, occasional stereotypes and effusively communal forgiveness of edge cases are about the best we'll ever arrive to in policy.

Being useless includes the depression, not really going away, or putting me in a zombie like state that makes me pretty unaware of what was going on around me. I better stay to be in when I was manic for sure, but nowhere to live indefinitely.

I highly recommend you get your genetics and start learning about it all.

There is such a huge, genetic risk and diversity that underpins mood disorders. It is the only way I found myself out of the mess I was in.

I really don’t have an issue with depression as much anymore as I do the mania and insomnia. And the psychosis. That’s where the Klonopin helps me. But lowering glutamate, for some people has been shown to improve stress induced depression.

As for depression, I suggest you look at inflammation an immune system as a regulator. And as for nutrients? I suggest checking your iron panel, B6, and zinc. These will help make the catecholamines implicated to be lower in depression.
I’m not sure that’s like for like. Moving state in the US is not comparable with moving between European countries because of linguistic differences.

Moving to another city in the same country is popular. And even in terms of not moving city the image of people settling down in the same part of the city that they grew up and all being near their high school friends is just not reality.

Could you really expect ASICs to increase performance exponentially if Moore's law is dead?

As for new algorithms, surely this would be more of a logarithmic increase for any specific problem as it gets harder and harder to improve on existing knowledge. Has, say, sorting become exponentially faster since Tony Hoare invented quicksort in 1959? My guess is no.
That's also true about sorting algorithms: Why bother with anything other than bubble sort if you only have a dozen or so items to sort? Because many real world problems are larger than that.
a lot of community has migrated to GitHub ... because it looks like more "modern" than mailing list. besides, GitHub is the only visible part of community in the perspective of new hands.
The account management is still breathtakingly complex and confusing. The switchover in August '22 was a nightmare. I'm sure there are still people who are locked out of their headsets because they couldn't figure it out. And this is on top of the mess they created when they forced the Facebook account integration.

It's worse than the Mojang->Microsoft account mess, and that's saying something.
Out of curiosity, why? AFAIK, Oculus has always required an account of some kind. The Meta account is separate from your facebook.com one, so it doesn't seem any riskier than an Oculus Account of yore.
Really, why could that have gotten him killed?
There's enough room in life for short term immediate reward. The most obvious example is having a nice meal. You don't need to spend time cooking or pay a lot for a fancy restaurant, and in hindsight none of it is really worth it since you could have subsisted on nutrient paste and water, yet the food industry continues to thrive regardless.
Considering how 'tanking' for talent acquiring has become a strategy in american sports, I hope at least we get to see this scenario with both teams trying to score own-tds/baskets/etc and fiercily defending the opponents goal in a match
This is great! I'd like to write code to interface X11 without going through libx11 but I've not gotten around to reading the documentation around its binary format. This is a good start!
No because they control the ball. You are only offside if your team is controling the ball + you are actively involved in the play [your team's attack]
Piracy will never die while people can still play movies on devices they have control over. Pirates can still screen capture audio+video from a streaming platform while it's playing; even if a video is never released to Blu-Ray, it can still be screen captured in real time.

That being said, console-based piracy has been getting orders of magnitude harder in the past two decades.
Apple should be able to design better CPUs than Intel. They've poached their chip designers for over a decade, and have been the world's largest company for years. Beating Intel's single-core IPC is so easy that AMD did it with Ryzen for a laugh - if Apple couldn't do it on RISC, they may as well have given up making chips entirely.

I own no stock in Intel or Apple. It's worth discussing to me because it exposes how insecure people are about relying on "lifestyle" companies. Even Intel is a lifestyle company for some people, and those users are equally as pathetic as the people who let Apple, AMD or Nvidia define who they are. If Apple didn't go to such extreme lengths to appear different and look accountable, their staunchest defenders wouldn't have so far to fall.
Flyp Homes Ltd | London, UK | ONSITE / HYBRID (flexible WFH) | https://flyp.co

Mid and Sr Engineers (50-100k gbp). Data Analysts (60-75k gbp).

If you've ever sold a home in the UK then you have likely felt that no one in the process had any incentive to help you. Flyp is changing that by building a business that partners with homeowners to help them realize the full potential of their investment into their home, even as far as through renovations to the home.

We're a revenue-generating business and are scaling our operations throughout London and the UK, and to do that we need improve a lot of our internal operations (data analyst) and build tools to help us reach more home owners, estate agents, and contractors (software engineers).

We're big fans of functional programming, using fp-ts (typescript) throughout the codebase, and we run fortnightly haskell and machine learning study groups to improve our skills and think of more clever ways to improve the business.

Some other tech buzzwords we use (apart from typescript and fp-ts) include postgresql, big query (and the rest of the google cloud platform), and looker.

Experienced developer, strongest in the frontend but eager to work across the stack. I’ve built SaaS frontends for startups and enterprise clients, websites for museums and artist foundations, and a robot actor for a theater company. I love communicating directly with clients, tight feedback-loops with designers, and prototyping unique UI. Seeking a team with a mission that I can get excited about: tools for social good, creativity, education, or analytic insight.
As long as a nominal defender (not counting the goalie) is in between you and the goal, I don't think you're off-side. So presumably it means you have to a) maintain possession of the ball or 2) clear the ball before all other defenders are able to make it past whoever currently has possession. A) sounds a lot easier than 2), though.
Ah, the Daily Telegraph. In recent years, it has become more and more like a broadsheet version of the Daily Mail. They are on a long-term anti-WFH push; this is part of that narrative.

To be fair, at times their defence coverage is still surprisingly solid, though.
It feels like this kind of lifestyle would combine all the stress and homesickness of being a touring musician, but without the adoring fans and parties.
This is not really true? The Oculus Quest lets you sideload whatever apps you want. If Facebook spurns you and deletes all your dev account data, you can still build, deploy, test, sell and distribute your app or game without them.

If Apple's headset looks anything like their phones, it will probably be the more fragile platform to depend on.
I had few Amazon SS bands, and they all were leaving dark marks. Apple's Silver Milanese Loop is stain free. Also price difference is not that bad compared to knockoffs.
But it might.

I have a bias here, though... I got fed up with Reddit and quit it entirely a couple of years ago, so I can easily see why others would bail on it without a great deal of prodding.
I collect mini implementations of ML things for teaching purposes. In this case, the longer-form version is a better artifact.

Pithy readable implementations of core ideas have a lot of value. I don't see much value in code golfing besides having fun :)
Well, it's quite likely not your objectives, it's probably a mistake in encoding what you want or something produced during training. If you pretended humans were evolution and AIs were humans, you could say evolution "wanted" humans to have sex for reproduction, but instead humans use condoms and birth control and stuff like that. It still satisfies the reward function (encoded as dopamine/etc in humans), but it's misaligned with what evolution "wants".
I suspect it'll be like a lot of things, where everyone says they're ditching it, and they are not ditching it.

I don't really understand why people use an "app" anyway, when browsers exist.
Right - the new law is quite restrictive. But it doesn't say what Airbnb wants us to believe it says.
I've written a few things (words) where one of the LLMs gave me a pretty good starting point. It needed some work but it saved me Googling around to get some sort of starting draft down on paper--which invariably turns into more Googling around and distractions. It's always been stuff I've known well enough that I knew what was right, wrong, and insipid. But it was a starting point (which can be useful, especially if you're just going for workmanlike anyway).

I’m a frontend engineer with >10 years of experience developing complex, data-driven web apps, including IC and team lead roles at early stage startups. Currently looking for a new full time role after recently being part of a short-lived seed stage startup.
One of the issues is that LSD also simulates the feeling of insight. How many trip reports mention "finding the solution to everyone's problems" and "forgetting" it upon sobering? (They didn't forget, they never had it, the LSD simulated having it...)

Maybe it's a better cultural value for our truth seeking groups to avoid psychedelics and other hallucinogens.
My wife uses Supernatural almost exclusively, and I use Beat Saber.
You're painting with very broad strokes.

I would say perhaps Europeans as a whole have much more experience living in a foreign country than Americans do. But as an American with significant travel experience globally, I have yet to visit a country that is as culturally diverse as America.

Broodwar, SC:R, and D2R seems to be telling a different story. Hell, WoW is close to 20 years old at this point.
Not everyone reacts the same way to psychedelics. One person might have a "mind-opening experience" for an hour and then be fine, another might suffer from permanent vision problems or worse.
I find the question errors are kinda useless.

I did the co-founder yc matching. we agreed on the terms of the trial work, but after 5 months, the other person wasn't completely honest about their contributions. They expected me to code up their idea and then also help with the marketing, sales, etc. while they traveled around the world.

The best advice I have is be strict and make sure both sides are working towards the goal.
Vectors in Zig are SIMD types. Vectors in games are probably algebraic types. Using SIMD for the latter may not be that useful if 1) specific elements are accessed frequently 2) transformations involve a different operation happen on each element.
I can already see the pain of the myriads of compliance (to all energy reduction directives, at least in EU) people getting strangely obtuse notes from their sw/hw/platform teams, saying in essence, errrrr we need to amend our already thick justification folder, to disable a specific sleep state. I feel a migraine (or a kind of sketch) coming. 'oh and BTW we're field upgrading the whole fleet'.

I guess fighting tooth and nail to disable any and all of these sleep states from the get go is worth it...
> Probably the AirBnB model needs to be banned in many places and only bona fide rentals of full places should be allowed, but it depends on the place.

So because these transient tourist / influencer types or long-term stay idiots who can't behave (i just happen to have to deal with such a "noisy & unconcerned about others type" in the adjoining room - he is Viennese so his personality is kind of self-"explaining) leave 'skidmarks' in neighboorhoods, other travellers who know how to behave and kind of blend in should suffer, i.e. paying thse huge charges for hotels that provide less value?

Never would i have had such great times if not being able to travel for a longer period or more often -because great value with local contacts- if not for Airbnb. Got invited for all kinds of events and dinner, even on Christmas.
Also for a lot more than $10k.
No, from a young age I just appreciated computers and machines and logic.

Tbh I don’t love programming. It’s just the best way to make my wage-slave status work best for me. Remote work, chill colleagues, relatively interesting (tho boring) day work

I knew it wouldn’t be as fun as hobby programming bc you have metrics and a boss. But such is the life of the wage-slave
Interfering with the ball is sufficient to be called for off-side - you need to be in active play, but you can do that when your team doesn't have possession.
> There are problems with tensions between locals and digital nomads in several places, especially Portugal

I have never heard of this before, and I have a few portuguese friends.

Also, in the context of Lisbon, I doubt that 16,000 salaried workers [0] could influence the market to that extent in a city of 500,000 people, especially given that digital nomads make, on average, $120,000 [1].

It seems to me that digital nomads are the new scapegoats for people who don't like to point their finger inwards.

> You can’t do monkeypatching or dynamically modify the inheritance chain of an object in a statically typed language.

There's no theoretical reason you can't. No languages that I know of provide that combination features, because monkey-patching is a terrible idea for software engineering... But there's no theoretical reason you couldn't make it happen.

I think you've conflated static typing with a static language. They're not the same thing and can be analyzed separately.
South East Asia has been against long term tourists for many years now. They want all the "families" and richer tourists who stay for a few days in expensive hotels that hire lots of local workers.
Ugh, it's CHF 208.00 (about US$230.00).

As @rgbgraph points out below, the price is actually several times that. There are several parts to the standard, and that US$230 is per part.

Not even going to download it. Good luck though.
No, you'd be offside if your own team member passed you the ball while you were between the player and their goal. You wouldn't be offside if the other team had the ball.

Football would be a nightmare if players were hanging out in the other team's box, waiting for the ball to be hoofed upfield to them so they could tap it into the back of the net. Offside stops this from happening by making sure that the receiving player is not in front of the opposition's defensive line.

I was probably over broad in my comment. Most of the lawyers I work with are actually reasonable and trying to solve the issue as you're implying. It's generally the larger cases / boutique firms that are pressing the numbers.

What a lot of people don't realize is that on class actions where laywers are often times lumped into one big case, most of them make peanuts if they're not the primary firms. You guys have a lot of gamble to with billing depending on your structure. So all in, I get it.
No but usually people in their eg 40s outlive people in their 60s.

Life is risk.
I have no idea what you do (and what startup idea you tried before and got burned) but your generalization is not accurate. You can also say that developers are extremely particular about what they want to pay for. Developers spend hours to automate something that takes 5 minutes every week is because it's fun. Obviously my previous two statements don't apply to every developer, hence the generalization is wrong. Some are cheap, some are particular, and some are even more particular. Just like every other field I suppose, who would've thought!

> essentially powerless to do something about it given the family relationship

Yeah, the fallout of telling a person they can’t drive is unreal. It took a couple years to go from incredulity towards me to finally accepting that I’m not joking/grumpy/changing my mind.

Some bad driving is so egregiously bad though that it can’t be chalked up as a lapse of judgement or something.

There is a strange sort of entitlement to recklessness like you described (why in the world would you take your eyes off the road to talk!?), and we seem to take for granted the fact that we’re still alive despite flying around in metal boxes within feet of each other. I think some especially bad drivers are severely influenced by survivorship bias. They’re not dead yet so they must be fine/good at driving and different from the people who’ve had bad accidents already. But they’re only protected by very bad odds.
No. A player in an offside position is absolutely allowed to receive the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball.
