I've always much preferred Zandronum over Zdaemon because it's open source and it has much more advanced mod capabilities (with much more Zdoom/Gzdoom mod support than Zdaemon), supporting mods adding game modes like the PVE

This feature is surprisingly polished. Your keyboard is tracked by the headset and it renders a high quality model in place of it, and when the headset sees your hands go over the keyboard, it overlays the video of your hands into the scene

A lot of VR games have features for grabbing objects at a distance (Half Life Alyx makes this canon by giving you "gravity gloves"). Many games have menus where you point your hand and pull the trigger instead of moving your hand

At least with social VR, teleport-style locomotion is a decent alternative to sliding controller locomotion, because you're going to spend most of your time planted in one spot and talking to people near you. When I was new to VRChat,

VRChat has a feature where you can set an angle offset ("horizon adjust") for all of your tracked positions (headset and controllers). So if you're laying down facing the ceiling, you can press a button and the game will trea

IPFS works just like BitTorrent in this respect. The main differences are that IPFS has more affordances for serving files to browsers so websites could be hosted through it through a standard IPFS web gateway, and that Filecoin (a system f

If there's no planned changes or unreleased work in the repo, then there's not much need for more releases. Jq is a pretty small tool and isn't obviously incomplete. Though it's funny because I do agree that in the past

I think it's much more likely that we either fail to make human-level AI or we wildly surpass human-level AI than us getting to human-level AI, petering out exactly there, and not facing a radically AI-changed world. If we or AI run in

If the AI is actually human-level and is made by humans, then it will be capable of working on itself. Assuming the evolution of human intelligence was mainly limited by biological factors that don't apply to AI (like that brains can&#

Sure, but there are big protections like that only the start of functions (with compatible signatures) can be pointed to, removing the majority of ROP gadgets, and the return addresses on the stack can not be overridden, so you can't c
