Curiously, what games are you playing? I find that games that involve real world motion didn't match virtual world motion (ie, any racing or flying game), I feel sick within seconds, but games where the two worlds always match (ie, Beat Saber, Pokerstars VR, Superhot VR, Space Pirate Trainer), I could play for literally HOURS and feel fine.

your concern would be valid if an llm were the ONLY tool being used. applications use multiple tools so you can use the appropriate tool for the job. if you're doing math, you don't want a standalone llm
"every artifact of the systems design and implementation process [..] is assigned a tracking number and extensively documented", "it also provided step-by-step directions [...] for each member of the development team to follow"

Maybe this made sense back in times of COBOL, but with the modern high-level languages this sounds like bureaucratic hell, the worst kind of micromanagement.
They are better at separating clusters and keep the fact that distances under the correct metric also provide semantic information. The issue is that training is longer and you need at least 32, and ideally 64 bit floats during training and inference.

And possibly.

The company I did the work for kept it very quiet. Bert like models are small enough that you can train them a a work station today so there is a lot less prestige in them than 5 years ago, which is why for profit companies don't write papers on them any more.
applications can use multiple tools. an llm is just one tool, and it will not cover every use case, such as math. that does not detract from the utility of llms
> There is evidence that a person’s ability to understand and succeed in algebra is mostly determined by whether or not they can do arithmetic with fractions.

Evidence that it's causative? That would be utterly bizarre and I'd love to see a citation, because doing algebra has nothing to do with fractions. I'd think it's far more likely that there's a strong correlation between the two because they're both determined by the ability to understand and follow the rules of an abstraction/notation system, and if you taught people algebra first and then fractions afterwards you'd say that ability to understand fractions was determined by whether they could do algebra.

Anybody who thought 3D printing was going to revolutionize manufacturing was delusional and didn't know a damn thing about how 3D printing works, specifically, how slow it is.

It's a game changer for making inexpensive prototypes and models, maybe. But nobody was going to FDM a mass-produced object. It's just too slow.

That said, for some hobbies, 3D printing is a godsend, especially once prices came down to the point where you could get an Ender 3 for $100.

So yeah..."cool and part of the future, but not a big part of the future" is pretty spot-on for 3D printing.

I mean, that wasn't a show about "food" or "restaurants" it was about gluttonous, over-the top food "challenges". Unless you were doing an equally extreme amount of work to counteract those meals, a season would absolutely destroy someone.

I see all the pearl clutching comments about how bad eating at restaurants is (former restaurant chef, I'm extremely biased and refused to be moved), but an over the top entree coming in at 1500 calories isn't even close to a 7 pound burrito IMO.
>In terms of having utility of estimating how long something will take, I personally have never been able to translate story points into a reliable indicator for that for many reasons (e.g team changing, domain changing, variability in operational load outside of development work).

If your measure of the utility of story points is how well they help you estimate time, then you're right, they're useless to you. If you're on a scrum team, they're a useful back-of-the-envelope way to estimate which bits of validated functionality you're going to be able to get into the codebase this sprint. No one outside the scrum team should care about story points, and they certainly shouldn't be used to generate reports. Velocity is for the team's benefit, as a tool to help manage workload and schedule.
You know what's intuitive? Running something like install.exe.

Apple's drag and drop is nonsense. Give it to a 7-year-old who's never interacted with the computer (or phone, etc) and watch them probably struggle.

As a kid one of the most intuitive experiences I had was installing software on a Mac. It involved inserting a disc, having the disk contents appear in the UI, and then running some kind of install program named "Installer" or similar.

That was one of the first times I used a computer, and in hindsight it was awesome.

The concept of "Installation" is a great analogy to many tangible real life acts. Installing a new sink, window, or other appliance. With basic vocabulary skills it just clicks in.

Admittedly, I don't understand half the comments in this thread.. How can this be controversial? :)

I think something around the bulk and weight factor of good ski goggles (about 150g, as compared to the Quest 3's 722g and more if you want a headstrap that's actually comfortable) would be enough for AR devices to start seeing regular professional use (mechanics, plumbers, and so on) and to start showing up as mass-market media consumption/2D-game-console-replacement devices. At that point it would be comfortable enough for non-enthusiasts to wear for a few hours at a time without complaints.

i can understand that perspective. as an end user, you would like your application to handle math questions correctly. it's true that llms are not the best at math

Race as a cultural and social construct absolutely exist, and one can perform scientific analysis using this as a basis.

Segmenting individuals into groups on the basis of race shows a large number of very real differences with irrefutable statistical significance.

I don't personally think that these are due to Intrinsic genetic properties, but that doesn't mean that there are no real and scientifically verifiable differences that break along racial lines.

It's kind of like comparing Californians to Nevadans. You don't have to think that there is a non-conditional difference in the groups to explore the apparent or manifested differences in a scientifically rigorous way. Dividing the groups by the border on a map may be arbitrary from some perspectives, but completely relevant from other perspectives

For a VR game that does something like that, check out Gods of Gravity (https://godsofgravityvr.com). It's a mini-RTS where you can see each other player in the environment, so part of the gameplay is trying to actively watch out for what they're doing at the same time you're doing your thing.

For something with a similar element but cooperative, there's Demeo (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1484280/Demeo/), which tries to blend the best parts of a board games in person (easy communication and body language, hangout lobbies, etc) with the benefits of VR (like being able to arbitrarily manipulate and zoom the game environment).
> I can't speak for sure, but it almost feels like VR games haven't adapted to screens being 2" from your eyeballs.

The screen being 2" from your eyes has nothing to do with it, especially since the lenses focus the image as if it was 4 feet from your face.

At least, not for me, so I guess this is just worthless anecdata, but...

I have literally played Beat Saber for an hour straight, then sitting down for PokerStars VR for another 4 hours. Five total hours in VR, and I felt 100% fine.

But put me in Assetto Corsa (racing game) in VR, and as soon as the car starts moving, I'm feeling dizzy. Half a lap around the Nurburgring, and I'm nauseous. After finishing my lap, I'm having to take the headset off and I'm spending the next 15 minutes fighting the urge to puke and then another hour with a headache.

The greatest cause of motion sickness in VR is simply motion in the real world not matching the virtual world motion.

In my world, on my team - everything is a 3. and if its not a 3 lets figure out why. IE, lets have a fairly sized piece of work we scope for most tickets. If its bigger than that, lets discuss it, see if its worht breaking down (if its larger) and if not lets just agreee thats a larger piece than 3. that way we can just keep an eye on relative size of issues.

The article mentions both rockets and volcanoes as causes of the increase, but carefully elides any mention of the exact numbers each contributes. I couldn’t easily find any concrete numbers on how much water vapor is involved in a typical rocket launch, but the 2022 Tonga underwater volcano eruption contributed an estimated 150 million tons of water vapor to the atmosphere, which is well beyond the scale of rocket launch contributions. So it’s almost all volcanic and only trivially aeronautic.
personally, I find it much easier to say 'normally, I would get this to you by wednesday of next week, but we have that offsite and my wife's parents are visiting, so does friday work for you?'. than 'this is a 3', so, I guess this fits in this sprint?

changing units and names of things really seems like a deliberate attempt to rob the discussion of any actual meaning. just a comfortable empty formalism that masks the fact that we aren't trying to come to grips with the most difficult parts of our job

My team doesnt really have story points. But we work kind of similar to you: is this too big? If it is, lets see if we can break it down to smaller tasks. I think it works much better than arguing over story points.
If you go that far into respecting things, why stop at life? We treat molecules pretty poorly, ripping them apart, discarding their unwanted body parts, etc.

So it's a bit silly to base morals on anthropomorphism. Instead, these long-lived rules about eating humans, pork, cows, etc. are probably based on practicalities. I don't quite know what they are but you can imagine that allowing cannibalism would be a step closer to farming people to eat which has to be a very tantalizing prospect since the livestock can also run the farm, making it completely free food! Or maybe it's to do with disease transmission. Pork is easy to get food poisoning from if you don't cook it properly. Maybe cows are worth more for milk than meat during a famine, and people might worsen their long term situation trying to survive in the short term by killing their cows.

I agree broccoli's great. It the main vegetable I eat.

Social AR has so much promise, but it's just barely feasible with Quest 3 tech. At $2k for four headsets, it's too expensive to grab for yourself, and market penetration is too low to "stumble upon" enough friends who have the headsets.

Install base I can imagine, a better comparison would be average usage time in a month.

I'm not affiliated with it, but I've been using the Warp terminal program for a few months now and suspect that if you're interested in this kind of thing, you might like that too.

In short, besides the obvious AI stuff, which works well:

- You can edit the command line as though it's in a GUI program (including with mouse, etc) instead of it being inside the terminal where you need to use different keybindings and no mouse.

- When in a shell, instead of your window being one long stream of text, each command and each output is a discrete area, so it's easier to, say, select the whole output of a command.

> My personal preference is to use time estimates with some uncertainty. A day or less. 2-3 days. A week at most.

In the project management world, there is an assumption that tasks that are overestimated and underestimated would even themselves out so that the total estimate would equal the actual time needed. Sad to say that accuracy of estimates don't follow normal distribution in software development.

> Story points aren't time...

> ...burndown chart...

The x-axis of a burndown chart is time, right? So if you create a chart that measures points/time then you encourage the idea that a certain number of points can/should be completed in a day, ergo that points are a proxy for units of time. Otherwise what's the point in the chart?
Having been though these leetcode-style interviews, I would say one of their advantages seems to be that for interviewers who themselves do not have strong communication skills, it allows them to conduct an interview that appears objective.

> Most learners, the world over, are not self-motivated

This is the exact opposite conclusion and methodology of Maria Montessori (and her schools with the same name). Children are naturally curious and want to learn, but they may not want to use a poor education system designed to mark grades in a hyper specific focus.
The teacher/tutor certainly won't be replaced by an AI. But those we call 'teachers' nowadays - possibly even for decades - are struggling glorified janitors because society treats schools as daycare. It's understandable that 9-6 parents need daycare. But why do we keep confusing daycaring with teaching? And why do we expect teachers to be perfect at both roles? And why all 30 students in the class should focus exactly on the same aspect of education simultaneously? That's the main issue with 'teaching'.

> Get a steel or aluminum plate for your oven. The conductivity can make up for a lot of the heat differential. Yeah, a true Neapolitan at 900F is out of reach, but almost everything else is just fine.

I have a steel plate. An hour at 500F only gets it to around 400F.

Which is fine for pizza, actually, so you're right about that.

If you ask big US pizzerias (I don't know about the famous Naples ones) what temp they use, it's usually 650-750. At 900F you have zero margin for error.
Just because they're not time, doesn't mean you don't want to add them. Imagine you have an empty basket, and you're not sure how much fruit you can toss in it. So the first time, you just start tossing stuff in until it's full. The exact number of lemons, coconuts, etc will vary. But after a few rounds, you'll get a feel for how much of each you can get into the basket. That's story points. You feel your way into a groove where the team gets a more concrete sense about how much it can get done in a sprint, given the variability of the work, external projects/distractions, and the makeup of the team.

Story points get a bad rap because a lot of engineering managers don't get scrum and just see a convenient way to measure productivity. Which story points are absolutely not meant to do, outside of the team itself setting its own sprint goals.
That's right. The cause of motion sickness is when vestibular input (sense of physical movement) does not match visual input. If I am standing and moving naturally in a VR world I can stay there for hours without feeling nauseous. FPS or flight sims cause VR sickness.

VR sickness is the inverse of car sickness.

> Linux under z/VM might be able to do so, by relying on the hypervisor’s card device driver.

Actually thinking more about the code I linked, I don’t think this would work - even if the z/VM hypervisor (CP) still knows how to talk to physical card devices (maybe the code has bitrotted, or maybe IBM has removed it as legacy cruft) - the DIAG interface would report it as a physical/real device, and hence that Linux kernel driver would refuse to talk to it
