HRTF spatialized audio should make your meetings shorter through more efficient communication. It's not about "bonding". For example in a traditional online meeting, it's very difficult to interrupt/interject but th

All of the components are out of stock in France. i.e. there are 10 different Out of Stock buttons on the page.

Wish Valve would make enough of something so that everyone that wanted one could get one. I wanted to get an Index headset when they launched that. I would check the Steam store page every few months, for 5 years. Every time it said "O

That is not the narrative given in the OpenAI announcement. They claim to have started working on it after "we heard rumors that two Millennium Prize problems had been resolved", on September 1st, that "we later realized was

They said they started working on millennium problems after hearing a rumor someone had found a solution to one of them. That's just bad taste. It indicates negative motivation rather than positive motivation from the start.

No, it is not. Proving things without comprehending them built much of human civilization. Comprehension is a relatively new fad that came along in the 17th century with the scientific method.

I don't get it. Surely if you were developing novel biological weapons, you would not use a hosted AI service where Anthropic can read what you are doing. And, why would you need to? Any chemistry graduate could make you dozens of high

A lot of the time people were sharing transcodes because they didn't know any better. Same thing happens for video content today, e.g. most video on X looks like 240p because of it.

I find that story hard to believe. Your industrial design class designed folding iPhones 2 years before anyone had even seen the first iPhone? Sounds like a leap. That said, at the time, the most popular phone in the world was a folding pho

Don't be put off by the box asking for your "affiliation". I wrote "None", clicked submit and it took me straight to the Atlas.

My high-school economics teacher taught us Georgism is the optimal form of taxation. He gave us a bunch of dense math to back up that claim, but I can remember none of it.

I don't work at IBM but there are many things to admire. e.g. You can take software written 40 years and run on a new IBM system today without even recompiling it thanks to the Machine Interface. Have fun trying to run a 40 year old C+

Interesting they are renting out agent skills. You can pick up "Java Modernization" at $20 a month for "Specialist workflows to help with modernizing Java applications", or "IBM i" for "Specialist modes, w

This is completely useless for video game map blockout. You need collisions for level blockout, which this does not provide. It makes gaussian splats, not geometry.

Feel like Ferrari Luce was designed specifically to turn people away from the idea of electric super cars.

by Stevvo 29d ago
The manufacturers certainly want the future of supercars to be combustion engines. Combustion engines are their moat; without them, there is little unique about their vehicles. But BMW felt the same about regular gasoline cars & hybrids

Curious how different the safety outcomes will be to the US. A Waymo is safer than an American driver, but so is a European driver. A driver from Norway is even safer than a Waymo.

Depends how you define fidelity. The mesh resolution in MSFS isn't any higher resolution. Looks about the same.

The benchmarking in the article gives a clear answer to the title question: Python and Javascript. However, the article doesn't just bury the lede, it misses it entirely, getting distracted by outlier results from clojure and j.

Interesting they are still using "Mythos Preview" instead of "Mythos 5"; I had read from others who had access to both that Mythos 5 is less capable.

That's an odd connection to make. The depiction of passengers in Elite Dangerous is limited to some numbers on a UI screen.

Hard to imagine it as a passenger aircraft any time soon, but if they manage to get the demonstrator built it looks like it could make a useful aerial refueling tanker.

If you stop and think about the problem it really is quite simple. Just need to build a graph of the game state and then run A* to get to the end.

Why? 30% is passing the first two problems only, which are really very simple.
