The XR2 is severely downclocked on the Quest 2 and not hitting its potential at all because of thermals. Carmack has complained about how underused it is on occasion. If the XR2+ allows for a higher default clock because of better thermals,

Face tracking has been done in other headsets from (roughly) the same angle for like five years now. HP released a relatively cheap headset a year or two ago that did facial expression tracking from a similar angle. It's a less-complic

Double the RAM, higher resolution, color passthrough, controllers that aren't tracked by the headset (which basically means you get a wider area of motion), pancake lenses (a nice feature that puts your face closer to the screen and al

It... pretty much has been since the 120hz update for the Quest 2? As long as they're not using a poorly-written application that drops below 90hz, I've barely heard stories of anyone getting sick these days.

The person Chatterhead cites actually has work that goes back substantially earlier, but it's important to point people to the right direction so blame for Glass isn't misattributed.

Google Glass was directly taking from Starner's work. You're getting your history wrong.

That's not copyright infringement, that's trademark infringement. They're two entirely separate concepts.

They're distributing their changes as a patchset to the ROM, which is completely legal. As a result, they aren't distributing binary files; other hosts are.

That's absolutely not what they're doing. If you want to fix society, stop the societal factors that create the urge. Don't try in vain to take autonomy away and force people to barbaric, unreliable, dehumanizing solutions

The general trend of authoritarian intervention around suicide is taking away their autonomy or, in some cases, police raiding their house because they're a "threat." I'm sure that your proposal would have no adverse out

Why is Amazon to blame for this? Is it not better, assuming a person is set on killing oneself, to give them a way out that doesn't have a relatively high chance of failing and resulting in permanent disability (firearms, overdoses, mo

It would probably be cheaper to use one of those "print-on-demand" book services and get multiple hardback volumes than pay for all that ink.

It's plausible that some volume of people had gone on a hot air balloon before and just not had pictures taken of the experience.

It's not a silver bullet, but have you tried (extremely) low-dose melatonin? Mind that most OTC melatonin capsules are at such a high dosage that they're likelier to harm your sleep than help it. https://www.gwern.net&#

People who are good at programming aren't necessarily good at biology, chemistry or analysis. And, assuming that some of them did have a talent for it and computing wasn't an option, it's not likely they'd be interested

Have you tried white chocolate? It's not really chocolate and it doesn't taste similar, but it might quiet the chocolate elitist crowd.

They consented to the terms when installing, and the license that says they had to accept the terms at purchase, so them not knowing is entirely on them. I'm not pro-Microsoft, but it's really on the consumers, here, if they didn&

Minecraft is transparently not a good. You get a license to it, you don't own it. You don't buy the copy, you buy the license to the copy. You go to the video store, you get a VHS tape. You don't own the media on the tape.

That's not the deal with proprietary software. The deal is that you buy a license to software, the terms of which can be altered at any time. It's fundamental to the model of proprietary software. It's not theirs. It's

Out of curiosity, why don't you make "YC churn" announcements read-only, like job ads are? There's not really much curious conversation when they happen, and not really a huge chance of it, either. As an example, the ann

Now that there's been some regime change, and now that it's been a while, can we finally get a report on why YC killed YCR, or at least (and most importantly) HARC & VPRI (which had become dependent on YCR funding)? And, in th

No, they didn't, actually. It's a perk for YC companies. They paid nothing.

Have you considered the idea that it might just not be for you? There are plenty of workflows that don't require proprietary software, and adding proprietary software breaks a lot of the point of Guix, along with throwing more work

Yes, it does, as I said in the comment above. It resizes windows according to their DPI settings, to keep a consistent scale.
