To clarify, the face scanning part can be done with a friend's iPhone and it's a one-time thing.

To summarize for anyone not wanting to click around their website: - $999 - Molded to your face - 2560 × 2560 per eye (higher than the HP Reverb and nearly every other headset, lower than PIMAX 8K) - 90° × 93° FOV (lower than most other hea

Out of curiosity, is it normal for the Mac-only (until now) software in the film industry to get any traction like this one has?

I have a similar monitor and if I never open a window for days it can get up to 2000 but I feel like I can keep it at ~600 just by always leaving a window slightly cracked open (not enough to noticeably cool the apartment). Using the stov

FWIW in 2016 I was at an ML team at Apple that had been shipping production neural networks on-device for a while already. At the everyone used an assortment of random tools (Theano, Torch, Caffe). I worked on an internal tool that original

As someone who grew up in California and is now in NY, I don't think that hypothesis is correct at all. And even if it was, isn't it actually less gerrymandering? Uniformly spreading the different populations is much fairer than a

Pretty nice looking! Also for anyone on a Mac I find programmer mode (⌘-3) in the built-in Calculator.app pretty useful for this purpose.

I'm not sure if you're already aware of the connection, but the founder of Lytro (Ren Ng) was actually the advisor on the original NeRF paper! I took a graphics class from him in college and it was one of my favorite classes. In a

I was at the airport recently and the TSA had 3D x-rays which shocked me! Looked like a normal x-ray but the agent was able to orbit around and zoom in on their computer screen.

I have a ~100 item Notes file of stuff like this that I experience regularly on iOS and macOS. It's optimistically a list of Radars I would file should I ever work at Apple again, but I'm fully aware that 95% of Radars like these

I've had similarly bad results with CO2, PM2.5, and PM10 concentrations when I use my gas stove. If anyone is curious I have a Qingping Air Monitor Lite which I love. It's probably sucking up my data but I don't mind too much

I tried to do that at first with https://textshader.com because the whole site is client-side and I didn't want to bother with a backend. It didn't really work because the state is unbounded in size, so instead I just

I like to stay on older OSes because I agree they're feature complete and I don't want to lose battery life to the newest ML hotness I probably won't use and won't run efficiently on my old phone. I've praised Apple

For some schools sure, but do you have any proof of that for Berkeley? I'm an alum and as much as I'd like that to be true I haven't seen anything better than handwavey guesses. Last year the top 6 highest paid employees at B

Unfortunately I also can't figure that out... The autogenerated bindings from JS <-> ObjC/Swift are pretty opaque and if it doesn't handle your use case then there isn't much you can do without manually binding eve

JavaScriptCore is definitely underrated! I've used it for quickly prototyping business logic of apps because you can iterate without having to recompile, reload, or even reopen the app on device. You can also use Safari to open up a we

I'm not convinced we would be able to view any of those. The only exoplanets we've been able to directly image are huge gas giants that emit a ton of infrared light. A massive solar sail will likely be much smaller and emit a lot

To add on to that, I use iTerm2 with tmux control mode which combines a native UI frontend with a tmux backend on a remote server, meaning I can spawn new native tabs, windows, or panes and they're all tracked by the remote so I can re

I wonder how many of these have actually been used vs someone thought of a cool bitwise trick for a problem that doesn't exist. Can anyone think of a use-case for TurnOffLowestContiguousBits?
