I think this type of camera control has some big potential in the AR market. It's not fully submersive, but (1) (almost) no nausea because you're peaking into the world (2) screen everywhere (3) can be used in many genres rangin

I'm more impressed by the architecture, which resembles that of room-based online games. After all, online game is the ultimate real-time collaboration system. The only difference is that, in figma, room states are saved (backed by S3

Just FYI, when this was written, "framework" was a buzzword. Everyone tried to write a framework for something, and tried to sell it over well-working libraries. The hype died down because it became obvious that frameworks are ove

It's not pure luck tho. The GPGPU research started in early 2000s IIRC. Nvidia had invested into it earlier than anyone and more than anyone. That's how they got CUDA. Nvidia was ready for the next generation computing. It's

It was a good read, a really good one. However, to my liking, the book is too centered around game engine design and a little bit too practical, but, hey, the author did explore it all the way down to the bottom. I almost envy him at this m

I giggled a little, but I think the post is more about desktop environment than kernel.

I really love it. Though I barely play outside, it's still fantastic as a portable console. Amazing compatibility backed by (almost) butter smooth UI. Some people pick SteamOS as the number one reason to buy Steam Deck.

by esjeon 3y ago
My theories: (1) Steam got a lot of new games. (2) Compatibility issues found deep inside games. (3) No compat issues, but issues with Steam Deck specifically.

I wonder how deep watermarks would perform against attacks using Image2Image. Running an image through I2I as-is would be able to destroy the watermark with minimal/minor changes, and out-painting may significantly impact certain water

Yes, but the simplicity is in a different level. Especially in nameserver-based designs, which is quite major, namespacing is a matter of using a different nameserver. The implementation boils down to one syscall that writes to a single uin

Yup right. I find myself zoned out while zooming in and out frantically and achieving nothing. It's often difficult to effectively navigate without guidance from the creator of the board. Figma is better as a collab tool than a documen

To be fair, even the namespace design of Plan 9 isn't very elegant, because file-base API hits its own limit pretty quickly. Linux had to abuse `ioctl` to avoid that. The best namespace design should come from the microkernel world, wh

I doubt it, because the choice can always be impacted by outside actors. I believe AIs in the future will just manipulate people and keep pumping new stuffs for the sake of keeping them interested, instead of struggling to understand each i

There's no generation here. Just live or dead objects. It also sounds like they don't scan the pool, and instead just deep-copy the top-level state object.

The notebook interface of Mathematica is simply unique. It is based on a Lisp-like language (Wolfram language), and fully exploits everything that Lisp can offer (and Lisp can get weird infinitely ). It provides an unmatched level of freed

AFAICT, literate programming does not imply interactive workflow. Also, Mathematica notebooks are extremely flexible thanks to its lisp-like language, and it's not really about writing docs and code. You can draw diagrams, format texts
