I'm surprised no one really has answered the implied question. Wireless protocols are hard for VR not because of bandwidth, but because of latency. Head tilt motions have to be processed extremely quickly to not be nauseating. Even wit

It doesn't seem to me like you've described concepts that are all that different, loading from global memory is slow on the CPU too because often it requires some kind of barrier or lock. All techniques require you to pre-arrange

Doesn't this break if the child uses a VPN, or some other software to spoof? For this to really work Windows would have to lock down all HTTP, and really all networking, only allow approved software/browsers, etc. Is there a reaso

Why would this be true? The way "single instance mode" usually works is by taking a global mutex or making a lock file. What makes this not possible for TUI apps? Isn't it just culture?

Probably because it makes distilling and external analysis/tracking harder.

It's an interesting thought, but hard to imagine how this would be implemented system wide. The clipboard would need to remember the source application, and have some kind of unique identifier to issue a delete to the source applicatio

I see your point, but this isn't exactly true, it only takes a single person to bias a model by deleting specific training data or over training on certain facts.

I'm not sure what the situation is here, but on many sites making alt account to avoid bans can result in a lifetime ban. A high profile figure who's been banned from a service advertising that they still have access to it might b

This is a general problem with destructors, you can't "batch delete" objects. To free a lot of stuff you're required to go pointer by pointer through the tree to clean up each object. To get real performance gains from p

This is way too absolute a point. There's services like water and internet service you're effectively subscribed too that don't get worse. There's obvious efficiencies that can be gained from regularizing demand with sub

Not you particularly, I meant the original: "it feels like every share of income is at its lowest except for the ultra wealthy." It's ambiguous in several way, no time scale, "ultra wealthy" isn't defined, and

Data is the answer, it's just that so few people are willing to look at unbiased data. Although the start is asking a more measurable question.

There's a whole category of video content called "First Amendment Audits" where people film with big cameras in public and farm people random, and often quite hostile, reactions.

This is at odds with the idea that devs should take full accountability for LLM generated code. He also didn't even say the code was generated by Claude, just the description, although a decent amount of the code probably was.

A side note, isn't package maintenance something that can actually be solved to some extent by LLMs? The prompt would be something like "Clone this repo and build this package while building/bundling as few other packages as

I'm not sure about that, they could do far worse than delist you if they really hated you.

Interesting point, but I'd always thought the opposite, you're much better protected by the law if you use services from your own country. If you use a service outside your country, I believe you could have all your code stolen an

Detect the mouse moving in a "non-human way"? If it were that easy there'd be no hackers. And even if it where, what about wall hacks?

There's just different types of programming, I also find that if I give a decent description of a bug an LLM will often find the problem, and that great in a system that's mostly legacy and hard to repro. LLMs are also good for qu

I recently had my faith shattered with I saw someone lock onto an ally through a wall in a kill cam, and I haven't played sense. Blatant cheaters are bad in some ways, but subtle cheat are far worse imo.

I think there's a large subset of programmers now who consider null checking (or even the existence of null) to be bad, and prefer something else like exceptions or option types. I don't get it personally.

$600/mo? Do you mean $600 as a one time purchase for life? I've never heard of any Adobe plan that expensive.

This looks to me like the issue is that Zed is using too many buffer objects, it should be querying the Vulkan context to see what's the max and sticking to it. So it seems like Zed's not doing it right, or maybe the AMD driver is

Vulkan, DX11, or Metal, I'm curious which environment has the ability render a GUI desktop but doesn't have access to a modern renderer pipeline. VirtualBox I guess?

Everyone talks badly about Cursor and it is kinda a piece of junk, but no, there's nothing that has the features of: being able to see agent diffs in an editor, seeing diffs inline in chat, be able to click them to jump to the code, an

Yes, but I got a subscription because I was tired of alt+tabbing to the Cursor spending dashboard between prompts to make sure I wasn't over spending. I'm ok if they slow me down for a few hours during peak usage. But getting cut

Sounds really minor, but was actually a big contributor to me canceling and switching. The VS Code extension has a morphing spinner thing that rapidly switches between these little catch phrases. It drives me crazy, and I end up covering it
