This is a bad idea because it's going to tempt more kids to get into VR and there's a good body of evidence that their eyes are not ready to be messed with in the ways that VR tends to do. But it's Meta so of course, more use

I often think these kinds of posts are bullshit. UX paradigms are not proven to always work outside of its very specific context, spatially, temporally, culturally. When experts come in they make us feel safe, but the only way we get to the

This is simply the cowardice of leadership to make the calls. If they force everyone to "convince me" then it becomes somehow the employee's fault when they can't. It's bullshit.

This is simply not true. Anyone can go onto Healthcare.gov and sign up for insurance. If you are low income because you got laid off, you'll probably get a pretty good tax credit to help pay for it. You pay even qualify for Medicaid.

You'd think the phone companies would care about this. It erodes people's need for a phone number. Why even bother any more?

D4 is great but Diablo 2 Resurrected is maybe an even more impressive technical achievement. Vicarious Visions (which has now been absorbed into Blizzard) reskinned the entire D2 game and it looks incredible. Probably the most technically

Are you in counseling to address emotional trauma around this incident? You may be dealing with PTSD on top of physical brain injury. Also, I’m so sorry.

This is the long term result of Apple not wanting any further dependency on AMD/Nvidia, but at the same time not realizing that AI was going to hit and be very, very Nvidia centric. But for most tasks which were known to exist 5+ years

Having been to the Union Square/Market/Moscone are many times for the Game Developers Conference, including this year, this is not surprising. Simply walking from a hotel to Moscone was very stressful. There were no cops but tons

I tried to get GPT-4 to act as a compiler and it didnt go so well but it felt like it was mainly because it didnt believe it could. After much consternation it was willing to put together a hello world in x86 assembly.

This is one of the worst run businesses in tech. The fact that they haven't hooked up an LLM to Alexa is insane, even if it's just for some kind of fun magic 8 ball toy thing. My kids already expect it to be able to answer arbitra

This might be crazy but... what if you set a meta-goal of being the best at... balance? So for instance, if you must win at everything you try, and you avoid everything else, that is not balance. If you choose what to do to "win"

Anyone know why open source Photoshop replacements dont get traction like Blender has for 3d? Krita is good. Gimp is bad. Nothing seems to be as good as Blender is for 3d, but the problem set is undeniably simpler.

Palmer has every reason to stick it to Zuck, so even if the Apple headset is just “good” he would be pleased to say this.

External accountability can help with this. It's one reason why building something small helps - you can get it in the hands of users more quickly. Then they want this or that and it gets you motivated. Of course, it's hard to bui
