3D walkthroughs are absolutely the OG[1] use for head mounted displays. I had an interesting experience of a realtor who had a couple of Vision pro headsets that they would let you use to tour properties they had for sale. Definitely faster

Not surprisingly, the Wikipedia article has a good list ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dither#Algorithms ). The 'cool kids' these days tend to use something called 'blue noise' which minimizes visual

Yeah, I've got one of the Seeed Studio ones (running TRML) at the moment.

Its a great idea, I think they should read the papers on dithering (I've got a color e-paper display and you can get a lot less noise than that by better dithering). The interesting thing is that back in the film days you took your 1

In terms of parallel headlines we're in the 1998 :-). This was market behavior during the last 18 months of the dot com bubble, then it burst. Plan accordingly? Always hard to time these things.

Exactly correct. This technique has been used again and again to discourage competition. I was asked was they could have done to encourage competition and I said, "Lobby to make the entity that provided the model unwaivably liable for

Sort of? Everything is weight. And since it isn't a design feature to lay down in water there isn't any weight budget for making that modality survivable? So typically when it falls (and this thing is really tall) the interior tan

And I sit corrected as it was able to lay down without rupturing the tanks and 'sploding. So that's another win. What I find really amazing and cool is that while its reentering the engineering team can drive it around and look at

Yup. Some of the Youtubers (like NASA Spaceflight) had video of it hitting the water pretty fast and hard. That said, this is the only test failure so far. I'm cautiously hopeful they get Ship to touch down. (it will explode after it d

Quite the achievement, congratulations! I'm really curious to see how things unfold when tens of private companies can launch payloads into LEO.

This is a very interesting deck! And I really appreciated the description of the design process. Assuming user marukodo is the creator of these cards, could you contact me offline? (email is in my profile) I've got some questions.

While difficult to control (as a study) it would probably be a solid basis for a PhD in anthropology or sociology. If you could compare two cultures, one which was exposed to the knowledge of how the technology came to be, and one which was

I would strongly disagree with the idea that 'low-hanging fruit' is gone. > But knowing how to do those things in the 2000s is not the same as inventing how to do those things or even knowing how to do those things as a well-co

It is a great book. Very accessible and a great way to engage with your kids.

I find it interesting how far we've come so far from the mindset of "You can do that." There was a hilariously funny reddit post about someone who discovered that you could just blend peanuts and it would make peanut butter.

This is one of my all time favorite blog posts. Why? Because it strikes at something that is both true, and a huge trap for smart people. Specifically, people who are experts in one discipline will often imagine that something in some other

Yeah, that was kind of my take on it.

That's fair, Google admitted in the DoJ trial where it was convicted of being a monopolist that the revenues that it paid out were roughly 10% of the revenues it collected. If you have fewer than a requisite number of subscribers they

Do you ever think about the fact that if you're making $500 - $1000 per video on average that means Google is making $5000 - $10,000 on each of your videos on average? I mean its working for you, and that's great. I am a student o

In the other thread (mentioned above) the author says that nearly the entire thing was created by Claude. So yeah, no.

Looks like someone is running one of the LLM models and publishing the results. It looks that way because there is a really wide mix from things that are silly "replace system binaries to run arbitrary code!" to things that could

Not informational but I kept reading that as 'MicroVMS' which would be a scaled down version of the DEC VMS operating system?!? And I was trying to figure out if they had added containers or something to it.
