Hmm I always default to not "do what you love" but "love what you do" in that most work has some interesting component, and what's really important to develop is the ability to isolate that aspect and motivate yours

This was really cool! I realize there are many DoF in this so pure optimization likely wouldn't solve it, but I'd like to see an optimization on the form of the keyboard itself in addition to just the ordering of the keys (like mi

TL;DR: In the context of our existence, only the brevity of our lives strikes us as absurd.

I wonder if this concept (corneal reflection photography) can be used for an eye-tracking interface for computers. Can you match the segment of the image of the corneal reflection that is above the pupil with what is on the screen to figure

Wait he just claimed the universe is computable because it produces regular data we can encode. Is that necessarily the case? Can't you claim that our senses just produce regular data that we can encode?

Despite the article, I think the title's premise is very interesting. The resurgence in popularity of dystopian sci-fi really seems to me reminiscent of Peter Thiel's "indeterminate pessimism" - the attitude that the fut

I wonder if being open minded is enough. The "winds of change" aren't always very strong, and accordingly new opportunities aren't (at least initially) better alternatives to the status quo, they just happen to have incr

I don't see how "why" can ever definitely be resolved. It's far too nuanced a question, but higher resolution data capture and analysis helps you understand it more easily, which seems to be the direction analytics is go

This is so clever! Turning mechanical control problems into informational control problems is critical to the ubiquity of micro air vehicles.

That was beautiful. I'd love to read more about how exactly the visuals were generated. This is a lot more than spheres rendered w/ NASA photo textures.

It's not that the web needs to be in VR, but that VR needs the web as a platform.

The device is definitely not constantly listening and uploading to the cloud (or at least they certainly do not intend it to). This keyword recognition thing everyone is doing is to make interaction more intentional, reduce misrecognition,

It's unfortunate it doesn't have a battery. For this price point it would have made a great bluetooth speaker with some extra intelligent assistant functionality.

actually, it doesn't have a battery, so it won't replace an ordinary bluetooth speaker. I was optimistic too :(

Looks like the 3D model is just for navigating the street-view-like set of panoramic photospheres. It's so far a necessary compromise, to get much more realistic photos before you can have perfect structure, material and lighting captu
