I find using something that puts a display right in front of me also works, like Xreal glasses. I'm not super susceptible to car sickness, but it has hit me in the past. However, with a "heads up display", I never even feel t

Love Linux, but Nvidia drivers are still shit on it. I'm not willing to take a performance hit for the convenience. Which I guess is a little ironic, given you left Windows over AMD driver issues. The last time I had instability on a N

It helps cover the time between you hitting 'install' and however long their audit team takes to arrive at your doorstep.

This isn't terribly practical. Yes, we can deal with heat. The trouble is cost, and dealing with high energy radiation both flipping bits and corrupting the silicon.

Don't forget the optional voxel models! They did some really cool stuff with Build. I loved some of the creative uses of things like controllable vehicles (sometimes with guns!).

Solomon seems to give a glimpse into a life of "what happens if the only challenges you have are the ones you freely pick?" He had everything one could dream of and more, including an unprecedented era of peace. Yet he struggled t

Heat is where the math breaks down. If you examine the heat the ISS is able to deal with (about 70 KW) vs say a H200 SXM5 (700W), you can stick a grand total of 100 units there, or about 12 nodes. This isn't even accounting for support

The Lightroom competitor would be a big (and welcome) change to the market if it delivers.

That's how its always been. The loop just wasn't as efficient a few decades ago.

What about 'in'? index()? There are at least 3 canonical methods for basic string searches, and 8 if your include the more specialized forms (all of which are considered solutions). Please refrain from personal attacks here. Save

Are you saying you bring your desktop on a train ride as well? Laptops with encryption make sense; if you need to encrypt your desktop, I have questions.

I recall the INI files of Red Alert were an open book for modding the game mechanics. I had spies with silenced pistols and "tesla cufflinks". It was really fun making crates spawn super frequently. I also vaguely recall making on

Thanks; I assumed the author was talking about an Nvidia Tesla M4 (hence my confusion and assumption that they meant the M40 series, which has 24GB of VRAM).

Ah, thank you. I was assuming a Nvidia Tesla M4.

I'm puzzled. The M4, as far as I know, doesn't have 24GB. Did the author mean a M40?

I'll never forget the trailers for Ultima Online 2 back in 2000. Ironically, their choice of accompanying music had the line "this is not superstition". I never realized this demo was in the expansion pack.

This wouldn't surprise me at all, but I'd appreciate evidence to that effect.

HR, particularly recruitment, was one of the biggest hit departments when the blood-letting started at Meta in 2022. The hiring freeze that followed didn't help.

Not all marketing is bad. Many of the beloved cartoons from decades ago were meant as marketing materials for toys and various kid items (i.e. lunch boxes). It doesn't mean it's automatically soulless. In this case, I finally unde

Can't say I have had such a productive dream for work, but I have had dreams that helped me process emotions. For example, on separate occasions many years apart (thankfully), I've dreamt I saw a recently departed pet or family me

Leaders both influence their followers with, and tend to hire those that reflect, their own values. I'm not surprised.

Most people don't run around holding out their smartphone directly in front of them. It has to be pointed at the subject, and tends to be obvious. Smart glasses, however, are always aimed at whatever the wearer is looking at. They may

I'm surprised you picked XP as the falling point. I didn't enjoy the days of reinstalling 95/98/ME every 6 months to avoid driver weirdness and seemingly random failures. XP was built on the foundation of 2000, which ten

Note that it is very likely this market can't sustain this level of competition for long. We are all still chasing the carrot of AGI, while hardware costs skyrocket.

To be frank, I thought this was an elaborate April Fool's joke, particularly when I saw that. It suggested to me 'you could charge for anything' while subtly implying you should also be paying them (within a handy deploy butt

This still baffles me. Never mind Windows; I can get sub-pixel font rendering with the ability to fine-tune it on virtually any major Linux distro since around 2010. Meanwhile, Apple had this but dropped it in 2018, allegedly under the assu

To be frank, it's kind of embarrassing if an entry-level Windows laptop with a decent integrated GPU handles this without much effort. Apple is free to make its own choices on priority, but I'm disappointed when something that&#x2

It's a bit nit-picky on my part, but this bizarre world of MacOS resolution/scaling handling vs. other operating systems (including Windows 11 for crying out loud) is one of my biggest gripes with using Apple hardware. I remember

You need the right ones. Xreal One glasses anchor the screen (i.e. it stays in place as you look around), have specific (and adjustable) tech for text clarity, have low chromatic distortion, and do things entirely onboard in the hardware. I
