Got LASIK in order to do research on stuff like this. I hated jamming my glasses in between my face and CV1; I can’t imagine the xreal working well with inserts - I have to keep it very close to my face in order for it to function.

It is very weird seeing edges in the real world that I know are 90 degree joins show up as curved in my peripheral vision while using pass through.

Side by side with a Meta Quest 3, it’s honestly a full generation ahead, so I can see why reviewers are impressed. (I don’t have a quest pro on hand to compare with right now.) You’re absolutely correct that low light environments suck. My

The big question is how it fits with your face and how sensitive you are to blur. The sweet spot requires precise positioning on your face - which means a tighter pull on the strap to hold it, and more discomfort if it was already uncomfort

90% of my usage has been watching media. It won’t pair with laptops (haven’t had time to debug) and the eye-based UI isn’t great, and is outright awful when navigating iPad apps that don’t have working highlights. Scroll and tap gestures ar

Yes and no. In order to get and maintain the best possible clarity, key for text, I have to wear it higher on my face than is comfortable and tighten the strap more than I would prefer. If I could wear it a little lower or with different su

It’s much easier to share a link to a Discord server than it is to convince your friends/family to install an app. Packaging and distribution alone would take up most of your development time - a semester is only 15 weeks. (This is why

I teach software engineering to grad students. Discord bots specifically have been fantastic: 1) auth/identity is built in 2) the UX is highly constrained (having students lose a month to CSS issues is perhaps good prep for the real wo

For productivity/reading, I want one of the new eInk screens. For gaming and video, the HDR OLED displays I have (LG and Dell) look incredible. Mixed content looks awful, just like mixes of high DPI UIs rendering low DPI websites. Wind

The meta protocol exists! Sort of. Check out the USB-C specs, which tried to answer a ton of this. It’s taken years for power delivery to reach the point where I don’t feel compelled to carry a USB-C power meter to check cables and chargers

Extending your simile, some devices need the equivalent of UDP in order to function within the size/power envelopes that make them useful. Bluetooth vs the nRF24L01+. There are standards like this in highly interoperable systems, but t

RIP to FireWire target disk mode for Apple laptops and target display mode for iMacs. The new docs promote AirPlay screen mirroring and networked shares over usb-c but it’s nowhere near the same. :/

I don’t think it’s a theory. He certainly tried to use the precompiled macros in service of this pre-RFC: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/pre-rfc-sandboxed-determin... Relevant section: "Someone else is always a

I’d never heard of it but it certainly comes up often in the article. Feels like something DoNotPay will offer soon, if it doesn’t already.

There are other services which rely on this header’s information for authentication (which of these addresses did you live at in 2021?) so for approximately $15, you can dramatically increase the effectiveness of an attack on those services

Very likely. The Rockchip stuff is super popular with that type of console and it’s easy to get Linux or Android going. HDMI out too; the Rockchip is probably one of the cheapest ways to get an HDMI signal out and USB in (which the controll

It is an emulator though :/ the specs say it’s a Rockchip with 256MB of RAM, not an FPGA. It’s also not 100% compatible with all cartridges.

by lexlash 3y ago
They have a list published; it’s compatible with some, but not all, cartridges. It’s a Rockchip-based system, not an FPGA like Analogue’s stuff; my guess is this will work like the Hyperkin RetroN. Those systems dump the ROM off of the cart

I am not opposed to analysis; there is, however, a point where existing system is so irredeemably corrosive that measured and conservative approaches just mean excess harm. It certainly makes all solutions proposed worth considering; it’s

So a politician will be elected then? Snark aside, this is how you systematically disenfranchise minorities. See Florida. Democracy doesn’t mean only the “deserving” get a vote. In theory.

Harsh? It’s a useless, knee jerk, response designed to excuse people from thinking about alternatives. Other countries seem to manage with a vanishingly smaller percentage of prisoners and without the dehumanization the US routinely employs

Support of the status quo is even easier. Did you have a point beyond that? The US - which is the topic of this thread - has a larger incarcerated population than anywhere else by absolutes and percentages; by a rather high number. Other co

Reading the related GitHub issues the dev seems to just not understand HTTP or web crawling etiquette before you get into the “actually AI is good for creators” pitches. The damage is probably done - even if this gets fixed, unethical peopl

Not only is this developer unhinged but they seem to have a pretty weak grasp on how HTTP works, which one would hope would stop them from writing HTTP-intensive applications. I guess it’s a commentary on the AI gold rush and another produc

Hi! I’m one of the engineers on this. We’ve got some work we’re collaborating on - all of which is going upstream - and we wanted a shared place to stage it while we prepare PRs. I’ll be pushing a statement to our fork tomorrow. (I’m person
