Do the adjustable lenses work if you have an astigmatism? This biggest concern I have about VR, especially for work, is that it forces you to spend too much time looking a screen that is very close to your eyes. This is known to cause myopi

This is just how tech has worked forever. Large established companies are not great at developing new products, so they buy startups. Youtube was a startup. Google Docs was a startup. Hell, Network Address Translation was a startup at one p

Great answer. > Of course if it's manned it's reliability has to be so high that you don't have to worry about loss of payload, so building two copies of it was no longer necessary. I wasn't expecting a space shuttle

Do these missions ever build back-up hardware? What if the probe is lost because of a lunch mishap, or there is a malfunction during the deploy (see Viasat VS3 antenna deploy failure). It is an added cost, but it cannot be that much compare

We should educate people about what questions you should, and should not, be asking LLMs in the first place. You really should not be asking an LLM > "Did fighters of the Azov battalion burn an effigy of Trump?” LLMs are horrible at

It's mostly a business decision and I'm guessing they will try to push into new markets if they think they can get some traction. This may convince them that they can. I know that Akira convinced anime studios that there was a mar

I can only imagine what happens to your hearing if you work at some of these bars. Long term exposure would wreck your hearing.

I disabled noise-cancelling on my headphones because I actually found it make the sound of my kid crying very uncomfortable. I honestly think that noise-cancelling is a great idea for a technology, and is basically required from a marketing

One of the reasons that these attempts to increase diversity are such a mess is because it is illegal to have a straightforward quota. If these agencies could just have a policy like "Group X is %Y of the population. This agency must h

There is an entire cottage industry on Substack of people writing about Wokeness. It has been covered extensively and I do not feel like PG is adding anything new here. IMO Freddie deBoer wrote the best definition of "Woke", somet

I wonder if this is actually the right move, or if the Chinese are just falling into the same trap as the Russians did with the Buran. The Buran was a clone of the shuttle, and the space shuttle was arguably a disaster. https://e

I wanted to write in cursive a few years ago and realized I had completely forgotten. It didn’t take long to remember with the help of a cursive alphabet, but I was still completely unable to get started without it.

I am surprised the a liberal senator would try protecting AM radio. AM talk radio is very right wing and it definitely contributed to the radicalization of the American right-wing. I remember when AM radio was a major boogie man for liberal

I have had the opposite experience. I have had professionals find and treat problems in weeks after wasting years using books and the internet. I am not saying it is impossible, but find good info on the internet, but it has its limits.

Good for them. It takes a lot courage and organization to stand up against a giant like Apple, especially when they could shut down the entire store.

IIRC a big problem with delivery drones is that their payload is limited by the damage that would be caused should the payload go into freefall. Going higher would just increase the ground impact speed.

I have always wondered if it would be possible to write a language agnostic package manager. Lord knows we probably don't need more programming languages, but it would be much easier to get on of the ground if it could just plug itself
