The most interesting thing here for me is the use of redirected walking ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redirected_walking ). I saw the video accompanying the paper but this would be the first game I've seen try to

This is amazing. Where does the driving footage come from?

Interesting colour analysis that would be great to see applied to other movies. Minor note -- "Batuo" in the context of GitS is surely "Batou"?

Does anyone know the background behind: > U+262B FARSI SYMBOL > This symbol is so named because as symbol of Iran it cannot be encoded in ISO standards. It would seem strange that ISO standards cannot refer to countries, so I'm g

Wow, it seems people who don't work at FAANGs have a weird impression of what goes on at them... Autonomy is not guaranteed at a startup, just as lack of autonomy is not guaranteed at a FAANG.

Is it possible to keep documents entirely local and guarantee that ReMarkable doesn't have access to data? From what I recall, their Terms of Service leave this possibility open. This made ReMarkable a non-starter for many companies th

It seems unlikely that someone posting on the blog of ArcGIS, a geographic information system, made a "mistake" by being unaware of the geopolitics of Taiwan vs the People's Republic of China.

The vast majority of engineers at FAANGs are _not_ commuting out of San Francisco -- looking at where the workforce really is: Mountain View, Menlo Park, Sunnyvale, you most definitely don't need to shell out $2.5M for a reasonable hou

The whole point of this article is that sj-ljudet has a bunch of different realisations, some closer to the initial in "shell" and some closer to the initial in "whip".

It's interesting that Jagmeet Singh's "nom de Chine" in Cantonese is 駔勉誠 (roughly, "dzong min sing"), which sounds a lot more like his real name than the Mandarin ("zang mian cheng") does.

The Cantonese for "Canada" is gaa1 naa4 daai6 in Jyutping transcription (your transcription of "Mexico" is fine though).

Reminds me of the zines included in the Zachtronics game EXAPUNKS which serve both as instruction manual and exposition. http://www.zachtronics.com/exapunks/

No, this is wrong. In reality there's no link between the claim in the article and the way that the human visual system processes its input. The article is trying to make a leap between the output of some algorithm, and what the human

My guess is a CNN trained to produce a mask that matches the output of some eye tracker on a specifically solicited task. As another poster observed, strapping someone in and asking them to "act natural" probably introduces some u

This seems ridiculous. Based on the output of an automated tool developed by 3M that produces a saliency map based on an image, I'm not sure how we can conclude that people ignore skyscrapers.

It may well be that in many cases, they do already know, but are asking just so you have a chance to underreport.

Is "mt" as an abbreviation for minute, or "sc" for second common in India? First time I've seen this.

Tocharian is not in the same family (Sino-Tibetan) as any of the Chinese topolects -- it's an Indo-European language spoken in Xinjiang.

Interesting, even as an English language model, inputting prefixes of other languages shows that the model has picked up a surprising amount of foreign language structure.

Excellent article, Reginald. I followed it entirely with one exception: I can see that `maker(maker)` has the right type, but why is it the right value? How do we know, as we fill in the blanks, that this is the implementation that yields t

Wojciech, this is incredible! The combination of expressiveness, type safety, visual programming and API focus are pretty unique right now. By the way, "Aggresive compile-time optimization" should be "Aggressive compile-time
