The value in AI podcasts at the moment isn't in replacing human content, but in filling the niches that human content just doesn't cover. Doesn't matter if it's not the best podcast ever, when it's literally the onl

That's not an improvement, as it screws up the code flow. The point of inline blocks is that you can read the code the same way as it is executed. No surprised that code might be called twice or that a function call could be missed or

While comfort is an important issue with a lot of low-hanging-fruit solutions (top-straps!!!), it's a hole every serious VR user will mod themselves out of. There are numerous third party solution to make existing headsets more comfort

One thing I also miss is being able to just jump from the regular game on a monitor into VR and back. Star Wars: Squadrons is the only game I can think of that even has VR as an in-game option to toggle. Everything else requires a full rest

I think it simply comes down to price and the fractured VR market. Be it Rift CV1, HTC Vive, Index, PSVR2, QuestPro or Quest3, they just straight up put the price too high for the average gamer. $500 or more just doesn't work with tech

Meta is working on that with their Codec Avatars[1], but since their focus is on affordable self contained VR headsets, and PCVR support is all but abandoned, they'll likely remain R&D experiments for quite a few more years. They

What I find especially frustrating with all the Metaverse stuff is that everybody aims for the pie-in-sky solution (VR, realtime 3D worlds, etc.) instead of fixing the main problem with the Internet first: Computers can't talk to each

When it comes to CRT vs modern displays there is also a much simpler issue at play: Modern screens are twice the size of the CRTs we used to have. If a game looks too pixelated on a modern display, simply try shrinking the screen size. That

Just because it's impactful doesn't mean it's going to make much money. Take audiobooks for example, the market is valued at around $5 billion. In the very near future audiobooks will be created with AI. Does that mean anybod

That's really the core of the issue. Language switching is such a common thing that it should be part of Web infrastructure itself, not the individual Website, and it sort of is. But most Websites ignore those preferences and browsers
