I mean, it's not exactly a gaussian blur. It's more like an RBG shift, mixed with the kind of effect you get when you defocus your eyes ever so slightly.

To be fair, the Oculus experience is pretty bad. Mine only has three eye-width settings, none of which match my face, so my vision is always blurry. And whenever I use hand tracking, it only picks up my “clicks” about 20% of the time. It’s

If you live in Australia, it’s hard to disagree with the numbers. The average Australian in 1984 could buy a home that cost 3.3 times their annual income. In 2023, it's 10 times what the average person earns in a year.

One thing I really struggled with as a beginner was determining which parts of a tutorial were intrinsic to the language, and which parts were arbitrary text. As an extreme example, I can remember the first programming tutorial I did at abo

I’ll admit I don’t know much about the back end. I’m not that sort of dev. Is anyone working on a reddit clone to deploy, then? If there was ever a time, it’s now.

Well to be fair, there doesn’t seem to be anywhere else for all these users to go, right? So the executives do provide something.

I'm talking purely from an emotional perspective. It felt deeply embarrassing to me, and I was wondering about why that was. Now I think about it, I have no problem wearing an eye mask and headphones, so maybe the shutting-myself-off p

I’ve heard the flights thing mentioned a few times now. Is that an angle they’re actively pushing? For what it’s worth, I once brought my Quest on a flight. But when it came time to put it on, I couldn’t bring myself to to do it. The idea o

In my experience it's getting traction everywhere. In the last few months I've spoken to a lawyer, a builder, a marketer, a graphic designer, and several taxi drivers, all who were using it themselves. The lawyer even said they us

Stock images were also popular in advertising, since they were considered cheaper than hiring an illustrator or photographer. AI-generated images are cheaper again, and most people can’t tell the difference.
