hi John! you know a lot more about this stuff than I do. is it possible they just haven't implemented a full PBR pipeline for this demo/screenshot, or do you think this (the differences in the two screenshots) is more an indicatio

I always see this idea on HN that a library, website, framework should be marketing itself for mass appeal and adoption. this is made for people building rendering engines on top of. if you are the software engineer with the knowledge neces

I get it. less diversity of thought means more echo chambers. you're saying that fundamentally these platforms will fail to be the town squares they want to be by doing that. and I'm saying that most people do not want a town squa

the screenshot could/should probably be better, but that doesn't mean the library is incapable of producing higher quality renders. I haven't dug in, but I am assuming this is basically Meta's WGPU. if so, these sorts of

using big words doesn’t make this intellectual. people want to make jokes and have light hearted conversations with others without hatred spewing everywhere. it’s pretty simple.

Why? There are so many accessible synths. Why does every brand have to cater to the lowest common denominator?

This is business. This is how it works. This a very similar situation as cable providers pulling networks and sending messages to users about how the networks are being unreasonable. The problem is Apollo is tied to one network. Spez calli

personally, I've been wanting to try passkeys and this is the first provider I'm aware of that will let me, so that is newsworthy to me

by n42 3y ago
that'd be more of a choice by the service operator than a design detail of passkeys, right?

I was speaking about the experience of a user who doesn't care about the details :)

by n42 3y ago
hm. I guess these are the early days for the industry where providers are figuring this stuff out. I won't be surprised to see them add that. yes, you can lose keys, even (especially) if they are digital!

no, this is false. this is different than 2FA. you can reset your passkey just like you can a password.

if you're someone who uses a password manager already, and is generating unique random passwords for every website, the only appreciable difference between a passkey and what you do today is: - the passkey is never transmitted anywhere

Apple famously dropped the price of the first iPhone by $200 (a 33% reduction from $599 to $399!) two months after launch; then gave people who bought it in that time a $100 credit. https://web.archive.org/web/200709082

maybe you're talking about Universal Scene Description? it's a format Pixar put together and opened up. there's a WWDC talk on Friday titled "Explore the USD ecosystem" about it; I'm hoping this means Reality C

I agree. I think the work they put into the eyes feature is evidence of their concern about this issue. I'm really curious to know what the "feeling" is like to be in a room with someone wearing one of these.

they've gotten font rendering to be similar to macOS, so the fact that you can't really tell a difference is the point. scroll down for more screen shots that show the improvement

after GMod was launched on Steam with much better support for Lua scripting, what we call Garry's Mod grew into just one game mode (the sandbox gamemode). with S&Box, I think Garry's idea is that the GMod sequel is just one of
