That's a pretty clever system. I'm not at all against advancements in ballot technology, I just think their explainability should be considered.

Based on the title, I had hoped this article would be a study of fast typists to determine the most efficient typing styles. While this article is not that, if you also came to the comments looking for something like that, such studies do e

I think that's the author's point. They aren't endorsing the "human eye can't see the difference" thing, it's just become a myth gamers love to debunk. I've heard more people mention it mockingly&#x2F

This would be a pretty interesting exercise. I can imagine using path length/distance across the word2vec space or even just the inverse of an ngram's probability. E.g. "zombie" and "fungus" may be close togeth

I don't know if this service allows uploading images, but if it doesn't, storing text is cheap. "Too cheap to meter," as they used to say about nuclear power (although that turned out to be a pipe dream). For simple site

I totally agree. There is more than enough "unmapped" area on the motor & sensory homuncului[1] (creepy image warning) to be repurposed as an I/O channel by retraining the brain. In general, brains are plastic enough to r

Sometimes "the industry" "moves on without" a valuable perspective. That doesn't mean those "left behind" (e.g. Richard Stallman) should give up. Something something "marketplace of ideas." But y

I suppose instead of "difficult stuff" what I should have said is "they signed E Ink's NDA and thus have access to whatever tool they use to generate waveforms, panel-specific or no." I don't mean to heap credi

I have thought about building an E-ink laptop for a long time but eventually I bit the bullet and bought a reMarkable[1]. They've figured out all the difficult stuff about e-ink (did you know that to flip pixels, e-ink displays require

Urbit also developed a solution for turning a number into an avatar, although theirs only have 32 bits of entropy, and to be honest there are many that are difficult to tell apart: https://urbit.org/blog/creating-sigils

Why would foveated rendering require raytracing? Most existing foveated rendering tech uses a traditional rasterizer and renders the periphery at a lower resolution.

And VGPUS are isolated from one another, that's the whole point-so using multiple in one application would be very difficult, as I don't think they can share data/memory in any way.

Ah, that Segoe UI WPF app takes me back. I made so many little utility apps like that when I first got Visual Studio. WPF/WinForms is what I made my first GUI apps with, and first discovered why one shouldn't do blocking computati

You're correct, but I recall a Tor dev saying at one point that HTTPS for .onion wasn't completely useless, I think in that more secure settings (CSP, etc.) apply to pages loaded with HTTPS.

Whoa, you disassembled it between moves and it survived? I've never been able to do that without the particleboard getting too messed up to accept the screws.
