No, it was unprecedented to tell people to take an emergency authorized drug of a highly experimental nature or lose their jobs. It was always a gamble. I took it, knowing it was a gamble, since COVID was very dangerous. We forced people to

My personal hypothesis is they're going to lean in to perceptual enhancement. Passthrough AR will allow them to basically apply arbitrary correction and filtering to your vision, so in conjunction with their expertise on photo processi

Apple is going to have everyone wearing a passthrough AR visor by 2025.

The library they are using does this. I wrote my own separate library that uses Cloudflare because it uses a bespoke protocol that takes advantage of some WebRTC hacks (SDP munging, DTLS certificate reuse, peer reflexive candidates, etc) to

Any application using WebRTC is forced to use some kind of centralized signaling service. The OP uses WebTorrent trackers. At least, until there's a well established analog to the BitTorrent DHT, but that doesn't seem likely anyti

It's a HTTP polling based Cloudflare worker that can be used to establish WebRTC connections. A signaling service of some kind is always necessary to use WebRTC. The OP uses WebTorrent trackers which can work but have some limitations

Sorry, which link?

What’s the best way to raise these facts - are you supposed to just list them out since writing them in the form of a question is misleading or something?

Author might be interested in a recent thing I released to use a cloudflare worker instead of webtorrent servers for signaling: https://github.com/gfodor/p2pcf

If it’s untracked entirely it’s garbage and rather shocking a company would release it.

I would be surprised if it’s fixed - gyro based head tracking is very well established tech now. It’s probably 3dof tracking. (So no translation, just rotation.) the Oculus GearVR and Oculus Go took this approach which works fine for most p

Any legislation that is known up-front to affect all websites on the Internet associated with any business is, to me, bad legislation. I'm surprised you can support any kind of regulation that is consistent with your #1. Fundamentally

It feels like the wind has shifted because of Stability AI, and now companies doing this are going to look like those that have “call to get a demo” links on their homepage in a SaaS world.

The law fundamentally needs to evolve. Latent embeddings of large corpuses of copyrighted works is something we are going to have to wrangle with more directly, it’s not clear to me how we even ought to want it to work in terms of the right

No, I think once ethereum goes PoS, average people will stop caring about the energy use of crypto because the public at large won’t be able to digest the nuance.

Hey at least they’re killing it. Which would be, under the frame you’ve laid out here, a kind of progress?

I don’t know that the consensus is right but the OP’s confidence of it being far off made me think they were unaware of the recent shifts (not just in consensus, but the upstream capabilities.)

You have some catching up to do. Consensus is dropping to this lifetime for sure, if not this decade.

Put the shoe on the other foot and imagine a political leader who you detest having this done, if you want to try to find the line between "plausible opsec" and "plausible criminality."

Do you have a link pointing out the filesystem API actually being developed further? AFAIK that whole API is kind of stable and done but I might be wrong. The other API worth knowing about is the more direct File System Access API, which is

There are two kinds of cars with touchscreens, ones that will always be driven by a driver, and ones that probably eventually won't be. Only the latter ones really can justify their touchscreens. (And even then it's a bit of a tou

Not regulating something is not the same thing as murder. We could do all kinds of regulation that would save lives but not doing those things doesn't mean we should think about it as murder.

I have no chance of understanding this paper, but why speculate if this is the case when someone should be able to come along and determine if it is the case here.

Yep agree I’m referring to penmanship, they still need to be able to do math and write to the degree necessary for algebra etc.

I got an incredible amount of pushback on twitter when I posted that I think we should ditch handwriting in schools in favor of accelerating typing skills earlier.
