The presentation says that yes you can. Incidentally, you can also do this with the cheaper Quest Pro headset (or any headset in the Quest line, so $300-$1000 price range). There are a few options, [VRDesktop]( https://www.vrdeskt

Think of the sun. Sun rays are collimated, yet when you look up the sun doesn’t fill the whole sky. That’s because where in your visual field a light will end up depends on its angle, not on where it hits the outer surface of your eye.

Yes I agree something like this is probably the future, once it’s more reliable and more affordable. For now only expensive headsets have the hardware for this. The solution proposed in the article works with the hardware in more affordable

I really like the suggestion of looking at the HMD’s faceplate and having it measure your IPD. I think that’s a great idea! As they say, it’s hard to adjust it optically by moving the lenses because there’s a wide range of values that give

Yes, ideally a markdown extension for Drakon, like we have one for (a subset of) Graphviz.

Of course yes, though more natural would be square decimeter (dm^2) or even square centimeter (cm^2). Though understanding it isn’t the same as being familiar with it.

Yes. Same reason some companies tout the “combined resolution” of their VR headsets, which really is the sum of the horizontal resolution of each eye. That make it easy to claim “4K resolution*” for a device that, perceptually, is nowhere n

Scrolling is broken for me (iPhone). Sounds like an interesting idea though.

1 TW of capacity. Meaning if all the wind turbines are collecting the maximum that they can, 1 TW is the power we get. If you need a time unit, think of it as 1 TWh every hour.

The user experience with ChatGPT is pretty good. No ads, no spam results. There are downsides too of course: the hallucinations, and the way the ChatGPT site wants me to log back on now and then. I was very happy with Google but recently on

What we really need is finer-grained permissions like “let the OS pick a photo and hand it to the app” and “let the OS pick a contact and hand it to the app” and then require that most apps use that instead of overly-broad permissions that

In case you too are wondering: this article is not about real trojans found in the wild. It’s about a trojan-detection mechanism that they successfully tested against their own test cases.

Love it, but I’m stuck on level 13. The orange target is in a “hallway” but not at the end so it looks like the only way to put orange there is to have blue at the end of the hallway so orange doesn’t slide all the way to the end. But then

This is an interesting article, but I was distracted by the Byzantine ways people write “millions of dollars.” I’ve seen “MM” before, and now “mn”. Perhaps I’m the only one who is fond of standard prefixes and uses “M$” for millions of doll

As someone who has no idea what Gitpod or Github Codespaces is, I found the explanation online plenty clear: it’s a VM on the cloud pre-configured for a variety of common development needs. My one piece of feedback is in the diagram for you

I feel like an in-terminal plotting tool would be a great fit for nushell ( https://www.nushell.sh ), because they already have the philosophy that tools where possible should return structured data rather than just text.

I've seen this described as "the security vulnerability is on the other side of the airtight door", which I found was both poetic and apt. It's apparently pretty common in bug bounty submissions.

I agree with the point about time travel debugging. I find it so intriguing that I've been playing with it for a little tool to make VR games. Anecdotally, it has helped me a lot with debugging.

Yes, it is indeed a problem when all replicas run the same software. One approach that's been suggested is to use multiple independent implementations of the program. Or, if that's too onerous, N-Version Programming ( https:/
