Stack ranking was commonplace and common knowledge when I worked there. Managers would submit rankings and the relative rankings would be "merged" up to skip/skip2 level. Well, maybe not "putting them on a stack" ex

Why does the fact that the construct is made of objectively non-human parts make it incapable of obtaining consciousness or personhood? This is just the materialism vs idealism debate. If you subscribe to the materialism argument, then a co

Honestly, I'd just trawl the interwebs for all the reasons folks have had grief with LFS, and then see if Oxen can even do a fraction better. If it can, you'll have many billion-dollar companies that would be highly interested in

Oh man, if this could plug into git and be a LFS replacement, that would be awesome. I work in a field where folks run into situations where they think they need LFS, and rarely does it work out well. If someone can figure out an ergonomic

I'm really confused where you're getting your numbers from. One month of $140k salary, post tax, gets you less than 4 months of studio rent + food around here (Seattle suburbs). Sure, you're not on rations the moment you&#x27

I mean, that's really the mystery of it. One of the most notable advances of recent LLMs has been emergent, one-shot, and highly-contextually-aware behaviors that seem to only manifest in models with extremely large numbers of paramete

Full lightfield AR displays would have no issue with this. Even some hypothetical giga-sandwich of waveguide planes like a Magic Leap 1 on steroids could do an effective approximation of this. (Assuming by "mix depth to objects with th

Exactly. Reading text or having 20/20 vision is so, so, so not the most important part of passthrough! Comfort, accuracy when reaching out and grabbing things, walking/running, avoiding obstacles on the ground, pets/humans, e

Yeah, I really don't think people understand how critical the reprojection is. A lot of folks, apparently Karl Guttag included, think that the resolution of the passthrough is the most important factor for usefulness. And/or that

As someone close to this in the industry, I definitely agree. I also really don't know why he decided to deemphasize the perspective and depth correctness so much. He mentions it here: > In this case, they were willing to sacrifice

This idea is super similar to Microsoft's adaptive cards concept. Declarative JSON format for compact application views delivered from Web APIs. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/adaptive-cards/

As someone working in the space (not Meta): The overall goal is the exact opposite of what you're saying here. Just about every single person I've ever talked to in this industry wants to build devices to bring human beings togeth

I feel like I'm in a similar boat. You could characterize me as a car enthusiast; I love driving them, looking at them, talking about them, and a weekend drive across the state to sightsee and go camping is just about as good as it get

This article uses "aesthetic" as an adjective... am I the only one who finds this irritating?

Certainly agreed, for the speech that has nothing to do with any school activities. Your comparison about talking about throwing a game and the coach learning about it is apt; that sort of speech is essentially the same as your boss at work

As the other commenter said, the main limitation with Airpods (and any other commodity/non-specialized Bluetooth headphones/headsets/buds/etc) is that the Bluetooth protocol only allows for high quality audio streaming

Does anybody know if Stripe uses some specific tool to draw their diagrams, like those on this blog? They're very well made and the branding is consistent and beautiful. I'd be curious if it was something one of their designers do

Do you know what software/tools they use to draw their diagrams in this blog? They're super beautiful and highly readable, with a unified art style/branding. I'm curious if its something one of their designers cooked up

God, this is frustrating. They essentially cracked Instagram's entire production environment open, and took explicit steps at every turn to stay within the published guidelines, and then they just take his report with zero compensation

Yeah, I'm in the same boat on this one. I am just as in favor of fully open source hardware, software, the whole stack (heck, I'm a huge RISC-V nut), but I won't stick my head under the sand and pretend that I'd rather h
