Eye tracking and hand gesture tracking are hardly new, even used in conjunction. The issue is, as pointed out, none do it well (accurately) enough to be of quality use but progress has certainly been made over a few decades. I've not u

Or you know, another $30 controller or two. I know space is limited but it shouldn't be too much to have a little redundancy on controller systems.

The issue most have is that they never tend to think they are the "other" people when reality is its arbitrarily anyone at any given point. In theory if your process is perfectly optimized and everyone is doing the correct thing

Of course it's unnecessary, but I suspect there's at least some substance to this claim. If it were anyone else, a harmless plug like this would be accepted by most, might even be an interesting nugget a reader would appreciate. T

There's a delicate balance between adhering to empirical data and paranoia of something. On the one hand, you can point at mountains of data that show for the most part, to our knowledge, many plastics are safe when used appropriately.

I'm not sure this is true in all cases. As far as grabbing enough language data to produce useful language, it's probably enough for awhile until cultural and language shifts happen (slang, word usage distribution, new terms, etc.

>As a SWAG, probably ~50% of interviewers are more interested in the correctness of the answer rather than the caliber of the thought process and communication. And this is why most the interview processes as practiced today are a joke.

Does the argument attack Nature and other journals or does it setup a position that makes journals even more important to provide filters, verification, etc. services? What were facing is an explosion of Brandolini's law on a scale p

Eh, there are plenty of actual pre-prints you can find on arXiv. Typical flow is you find a paper of interest published elsewhere then search arXiv for the same title, authors, etc. and can even find related work. A lot of publication isn&#

It's a valid assessment depending on the context. There's a lot of software scaffolding that exists in places that, usually for good intentions, creates complexity in the hope of simplify the problem at hand. Sometimes it works, s

I'm not sure about Australian culture and I think it's a disservice to educators to think GPT can realistically just replace them, but accepting that premise for a moment, in the US, much of the public education system acts as a t

What's to prevent that in a slightly less monopolized system? In some cases, players in a market may all even independently arrive at the same solution and decide not to undercut competition, they may add additional fees (e.g. tuitio
