I don't think web apps like VSCode will be at a disadvantage. If they're doing "normal" web rendering and not rolling their own canvas renderer like Google Docs then it should just work fine.
152.
by ladberg 3y ago
Foveated rendering is supported by default. Most apps will rely on the OS's renderer and not their own so they don't have to do anything with eye tracking to have it enabled. EDIT: See cma's comment below which adds more info

You can do VSCode Remote in a browser on an iPad so I'm not too worried. I think the bigger factor is that Apple is trying to push this as more of a workplace productivity machine than the iPad, so third party developers will hopefully

I mean I agree that's the ideal but not necessarily true in practice. I bet if you took two random players of the same Elo and pit them against each other many times, it would not be 50/50.

by ladberg 3y ago
The probability of player A being up a rook over player B is higher when player A is better than player B, even if their Elo is the same. So the author has picked scenarios where player A is already more likely to be better than player B bu

Yeah I guess my claim is that two people of the same Elo on lichess are likely to not be perfectly equal. If the average winrate of any random two players with the same Elo is something like 60/40 (random speculation) then you'd b

That's not exactly my takeaway, e.g. he says this in that interview which is pretty consistent: > So if I was just going to say if I want to build a computer really fast today, and I want it to go fast, RISC-V is the easiest one to

Am I misunderstanding something or is there a glaring statistical error here? I think this analysis works if the matches are all between two players of truly identical skill that will roughly win 50% of the time against the other, but tha

The straight answer is that ads are embedded in the "HTTP API" and the vast majority of browser users don't have adblock, and Reddit can't force ads on any API users (except through the official app).

I don't know the exact FOV specs but it's definitely wide enough to achieve the average movie theater experience, even an IMAX-like experience.

Locked to the cabin but I've never tried it personally. It has a lot more advanced tracking than the Quest!

Yep, the simulator (will come with the SDK when it's released) plus an iPhone/iPad is the best you're gonna get. Most code will definitely translate! Would recommend ARKit+RealityKit over Unity for the best OS integration unl

Sorry, I haven't done any color critical work and am unsure of the specs. If you're wondering about passthrough it's pretty good for most things but is definitely missing the dynamic range of the human eye, which no video cam

Hah yeah that'd be less than ideal. > I'm curious if Apple will utilize the gyroscope to try and detect movement faster than a certain speed and show a warning. The Vision Pro is doing SLAM at all times so it actually always kn

It's a pretty simple story: a headhunter reached out through a friend, I applied to a few companies, got a few offers, and joined one of them. I was already into performance programming beforehand but had no finance knowledge whatsoeve

1. I don't really know of any feature like this but can't say for certain. I'd highly recommend investing in a bluetooth keyboard for work in the headset (or keep your cable keyboard plugged into your computer and mirror the

I have experienced what you're describing while gaming on my personal VR headset, but never with Vision Pro. I'm not sure if that's due to the passthrough or the fact that I was only ever using it to actively do work (and I u

The problem is that it puts a hard cap on how many people can enjoy your home theater, so that might be an issue. If you already have a space carved out for a home theater and were thinking of entertaining >2 people then I'm not ent

It's more comfortable than other VR headsets I've tried, but still something strapped to your head that's significantly heavier than a pair of glasses. I think I could spend all day in it with no issues but I'm not sure

1. You can drink stuff but have to be careful. Hand-eye coordination gets a bit wonky the closer you are to your face. I've done it and it works though! 2. Never tried sleeping with it... I don't see why it would be any worse than

Depends what you mean by "fully switch". I think it's good enough to replace a few monitors but at the same time there are use cases for monitors that it can't replace, like showing something on your screen to someone ne

Just purely from a PPD perspective a 5K Retina display will beat the Vision Pro, but from a readability standpoint I think they're equal. Like at "normal" text editor scales you can read everything just fine but a 5K display

I'm not saying 3500 is "alright", it's definitely still expensive! I would say 6500 is too much for a better version of something I already have that doesn't really enable any additional usecases. The Vision Pro wou

Lol, I'll expect people will figure out tells for whether you're slacking off irl in a headset just like being distracted in a zoom meeting. Reprojected eyes jumping around too much? Holding your hands below the table to pinch out
