i worked at leap motion briefly and the second gen hand detection was really good and low latency (ish, 100hz or something). suddenly VR was my peripersonal space. i look forward to the first hyperbolic graph based info center for VR :)

the world is not in exponential population growth - the rate of growth has been shrinking for two generations. global population decline will happen in my lifetime. the demographic transition happened centuries ago in some countries. fertil

around that time (2000) we passed the greenland ice sheet tipping point, and that's going to put a lot of water into the ocean.

do you know about the dopamine reward error hypothesis? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6721851/ is it so wrong? what does cognitive psychology have to say about how these neurons work? this is a

how is it that almost 6 months have passed and this same syllogism gets trotted out repeatedly? this is 1. factually incorrect, 2. morally reprehensible. everyone dies eventually and gets sick with something else someday. let’s just front l

yeah, it usually is, that's how those device trees work. it's generally bundled with the "bootloader" (chain loader component of the firmware). you can even bake them into your kernel if you want, i believe. RISC-V is a

ah but what does having emitted a meaningless signal communicate about the internal state of the participant? might the occurrence and nature of the signal itself carry the message? maybe GPT-3 is tapped into a deeper level than we are

I'm with you on this one, and the downvotes are peculiar to me. The death rate in the under-45 bracket doesn't matter to me and I don't know why the thread root author focused on it except as reassurance for that age range. W
