Naw, it's still here, it's just soaked into the fabric now so you don't see it.

Biggest questions I have are: how reliably can this be done in the harsh environment of a job site, and is it obvious when the application has failed/or is deteriorating?

Yes, the tools have gotten much much better, that is true. But it still costs an incredible amount of time to generate the art assets, it's a huge part of the budget.

Terminator 2 used far, far more practical effects than one is likely to assume these days. The iconic shot of the t-1000 blown in half and sewing it self back up? Practical effect. Really amazing stuff over all. https://www.youtu

I'm shocked that you couldn't tell your heart was racing that fast. 200+ BPM is cray high. Either way, it's an interesting story.

Did some work with a guy from a non-profit in Mexico a number of years back. He had a gps in his truck and as I recall one of the mapping companies would take the data he shaded with them in order to make the maps more accurate, because he

Even if you do trust the third party, you've created another attack vector, and worse, you've created one that is far more valuable to attack than any other because you know they hold the keys to the kingdom.

Analogy is pretty logical though, you are essentially casting to something and seeing if you can manipulate it in a certain way.

I think the smart move for the time being for VR is to put realism to the side in favor of strongly art-directed stylized content that focuses on the strengths that the platform has right now and worry about realism later. I think films a

At best you are only going to be able to patch the security hole that having key escrow has created though. You can never to better than that, and it's quite likely that the system would be less than 100% secure in practice.

Amputees still 'feel' the missing limb months and years later, so I find it plausible you would still 'feel' reactions in your body even if you no longer had one. I didn't take the sounds to be literal, just an arti

That's the problem I have with the creative cloud model of forced updates. Professionals can have years invested in using a tool and becoming incredibly fast at it: all that can potentially be erased by being forced to upgrade to a v

I assumed it was all in his 'mind'. These didn't act like AI robots, seemed clear from some of the exposition that there's a mind in there that thinks it is human. Notice the different choices different robots took - one

>If students can do it, it can't be all that expensive. That's not really true at all. It comes down to man-hours and how much time it takes the artist to do the work. A student isn't incurring that cost when they do work

That's so really impressive stuff. The problem is though, that asset creation remains massively expensive.

That's an interesting point. I think there's definitely a give and take on both sides here and good points to be made all around.

I'm a bit torn about this. I almost always come down on the side of 'less red tape' but I strongly suspect that putting in place a lightweight licensing framework for drone pilots is the best way to ensure the greatest amount

This assumes that in every situation coming to a controlled stop is an option. That is almost certainly not the case. Many times the choice is between running (an object) over or making some kind of risky maneuver to avoid it.

I've found caffein to be far nicer on my body than my ADHD medication. Unless I am really in a bind, I go to coffee when I need to focus. I'm careful to take a day or two off a week if I can so that my overall consumption never

I think it probably also matters a lot whether or not there's a clear solution. If there's a better than average chance that the optimization strategy is known, and will work then it's probably fine to hold off on it. If the

I tend to think the "A human driver must be ready to take over" line of thinking has a lot to do with liability as well. I just think it sets up an unfair situation where the human will often fail.

>The car will always be better at driving than the human. I don't think this is true yet. We can interpret the incoming data incredibly well in ways the machine vision can't yet match. This is absolutely vital for driving. The

My personal feeling is that you are right: the best/only way this will work long term is if it works without humans needing to be in the loop.

As I recall, packet loss was the main issue, as the packet size was enormous.

The real problem with self-driving cars is the car to human handoff. Over the long term it's incredible unlikely that humans will be any good at all at remaining aware and 'up to speed' on the current situation in the eve

Interesting point here: if you are the best Go player in the world, and you play against an AI that can beat you, it seems really possible that it makes you that much better. It would be interesting to see what the win ratio would be after

That type of metagame seems useful though, in the sense that you can start to sense the state of mind of your opponent. If they are working harder than you think they need to, you might get away with a riskier move for instance.

All I hear is Ad-Hominem rhetoric. You aren't actually making a real argument here.
