Red Alert VR! I too thought RTS would be awesome in VR. But alas, making games was beaten out of me by the sentiment that game development isn’t professionally viable without major crunch time. Failing of my own, but I hope someone tries! I

I agree on the etiquette suggestion, with the addition that linking such topics is fine as long as there is relevant discourse along with the link. Drive by linking isn’t very insightful or communicative.

The term used by people that seek these things out appears to be “visual effects”[0] and it apparently includes any sort of change in visual perception. I have never come across the term pseudo-hallucination to describe these phenomena befo

So it seems like if we reverse time, we reverse entropy and that as time approaches 0, we would effectively be reversing the big bang and instead have the big collapse. Another thought experiment that comes to mind is compressed gas in a cy

In these "it's like taking a video of throwing a ball in the air and allowing it to land on the ground, then playing it in reverse" examples, I can't help but think of Newton's first law. If an object at rest stays

" it's literally like playing a movie in reverse" seems overly authoritative for something we haven't observed. I have seen Tenet, but it's a work of fiction. Have we observed reflected gravitational waves? In rever

If we change the analogy of throwing a ball to firing a gun into the air - does the analogy still work? Since when we fire the gun up, the bullet will travel faster up than it will travel down due to terminal velocity in forward time. How

If we reverse time, would gravitational waves flow backwards?

by nanidin 4y ago
If we reverse time and this implies running everything backwards in physics, do we include gravity in the set of things that are reversed? Then everything would fly off the face of the earth in reverse-time.

I was at the base camp of Challenger Point / Kit Carson Peak, laying out watching the sky after dinner. I saw something similar to this but a bit more green and it shot off sparkles like a firework as it burnt up. Did not make the summ

What might be interesting is to feed in the transcripts & filings from actual court cases and ask the LLM to write the judgement, then compare notes vs the actual judge.

You missed another quality of the worst world: driver monitoring that disengages even for a perfectly attentive driver. That’s about where Tesla is now.

Same, I have been using Linode for a little over 10 years. The main barrier to migrating off is that I will lose the IP I have been using to send mail for the last 10 years. I guess big email is going to win and I'll have to use fastma

This is how deals are done in China. You want to expose your cloud service to Chinese users? You need to partner with a Chinese company that will effectively run the cloud infrastructure, possibly run the server software, and definitely hav

Facebook applies some magic to decide which posts show up in your feed and which comments show up at the top of those posts. When a metric like “engagement” is optimized for, this seems to result in controversial/divisive content makin
