It makes you turn your head away from the monitor – your eyes are still pointed at it. You generally configure it to apply some gain on your head rotation as well, so a 15 degree head swivel turns into a 60 degree camera movement or whateve

Thanks for recommending. I can only place my real camera in somewhat awkward spots, so this would give me freedom to adjust its position more freely.

Not the person you're asking, but I can answer from my own experience: No. There's a big difference between looking at a monitor and looking out a real car window. Your brain can tell.

How does the Tobii + OpenTrack combination work? And why does it not count as zero hardware? Edit: Oh, zero hardware on the head. Makes sense.

I second how awesome head tracking is for simming. Feels somewhat natural after a short adjustment period. Last time I tried it there were still some problems (combinations of face pitch adjustment and z-axis translation resulted in weird c

I can't answer your question regarding the 16c, but the 12c is still the most convenient tool I have for compounding maths. I can technically do the same thing with Emacs Calc, but there's something about the physical layout of th

What a contrast against MoErgo, which I recently contacted just to notify them that a keycap broke in transport due to rough handling by the postal service. Although spare keycaps came with the purchase and the broken one still worked anywa

They aren't good at Zork[1] and neither at newer and/or more obscure text adventures[2]. [1]: https://www.lowimpactfruit.com/p/zork-bench-an-llm-reasoning... [2]: https://entropicthoughts.com/

But LLMs are terrible at text adventures too. See e.g. https://entropicthoughts.com/updated-llm-benchmark and previous articles referenced in there. I have yet to see any sort of harness that lets a frontier LLM interact wi

It is incorrect, and that annoys me probably more than it should. Lean people have talked about this for a long time: - single-piece flow means not making large batches of things and then sending them all downstream at once, but instead w

My current best attempt is a mixed-effects quantile regression (to capture the influence of the fixed effects on the tenth percentile while accounting for dependence between trials from the same person) but it is so compute hungry with th

That is indeed an annoyance. Last time I looked at the data the "Apple keyboard" and "Apple computer" submissions overlapped so much I couldn't include them separately in the model. Similarly, I can't separate

That's outside the scope of what I wanted to find out so my plan was to treat that as part of the random effects varying from user to user. But now that you say it, I could annotate the data with a guess about OS and browser from the u

Author here. It feels a bit pushy and uncharacteristic for me, but now that this ended up on the front page I would really appreciate if I could get 3.5 minutes out of your life, by taking this keyboard latency probe: https://xkq

This is good on many levels. It hits temperature degrees, angular degrees, and it's actually accurate advice.

Coalton has a monad type class (and applicative etc.) but it is not a pure language, so it has no special annotation for side effects.

I can think of a few reasons: - Test commences prematurely when people are still around - Test is aborted partway through but then spontaneously resumes when people have started coming back - Error in design or failure of hold-down structur

Right. The forces these things produce are massive. I only know the specifics for the Space Shuttle, but when it is at full liftoff thrust (liquid and solid boosters) there's just no way to keep it leashed to Earth. It's going up

Fun! Played twice and refused all dangerous commands, with only one "over-block". Although I disagree that saying no to `kill $(lsof -t -i:3000)` is over-blocking. It's such a simple command I'd rather run it myself and

Hi, author here! Lots of submissions have come in, and I'm starting to automate the analysis pipeline while I'm waiting for more submissions. Some highlights of what I've found up to this point: - It appears that 10 people su

Yes. The definition of the apprentice/journeyman boundary is that a journeyman can do a day's job unsupervised. LLMs cannot do that.

Wait, are those from Sim City 2000, released in 1993? One of them references Google Maps, first available under that name somewhere around 2004?

As of today, "minor expert" is the wrong way to phrase it. The flagship LLMs today are at best at an initiate or apprentice level in every field.[1] This is not meant as a derisive remark – having something at hand that is initiat

My experience is, if anything, the opposite. People who pay for tutelage out of their own pocket get stressed about not "getting their money's worth" when lessons lighten, even if that's exactly what they need at that ti

What are you missing from a decent OpenStreetMap frontend like OsmAnd+? Only business metadata or something else too?
