I've got a problem with that video that starts at 4:15. He seems to jump to the conclusion that for every midpoint there is only 1 distance. But that midpoint is formed by picking 2 points on the edge, and one could easily pick two oth

Be aware that for global NCAP, safety ratings are dependent on the vehicle class. If a subcompact car receives 5 stars, this does not mean it has the same probability of survivability in full frontal crash as a large executive luxury sedan

I recently downloaded it from GOG and tried to play it on a 5K studio display. I wasn't able to get a result that did not blur those beautiful pixels, which is such a shame. Yes, I did go into all those setting menus.

It looks beautiful, thanks for the write-up! Question: Most docks have ample space around the phone to grip it and remove it from the dock easily. Your design encases the phone on every side. How do you get the phone out in the morning?

I think the interesting part is that either this software was able to access the biometric scan feature and inject their own data into it (which third party software should not be able to access or inject at all, only the OS should be able

According to the article, the Vision Pro will not play common side by side videos. It has its own standard ("WebXR clips"), but nobody distributes these, and videos from that standard are also not playing correctly on the device.

Peter Gabriel's 2023 album "i/o" has some quite inspired Atmos mixing going on. The track "The Court" is particularly nice. Make sure you pick the "In-Side Mix" version of the album. Nice Atmos tracks

Apple Vision Pro is coming out soon, with the same terrible rules for app developers. We should put out an open letter to Apple that we will collectively ignore that product until it contains more favourable terms.

In the linked keynote, Jesse Lyu mentions that LLM won't help us actually do tasks - there are currently no so-called "agents" that do something simple like book a flight - the best way to do it is still to click the buttons

I don't think [4] is a marketplace in the sense that the expansions are from third party creators. They are all created by Modartt themselves, one by one over the past 15 years. After all, you can't just sample another instrument,

It's a good list, but I feel "Mario Run", a single player game that refuses to run if not connected to the internet (and will also fail to run in a few years when Nintendo gets bored and turns its servers of) is a prime examp

I've got the smallest digital full frame (the Sony RX1). Compared with your linked analog Ricoh GR1v, the Sony is bigger because of its much more capable lens. Putting the Ricoh lens on the Sony would have limited the quality a lot. It

Gabriel, could you please clarify once and for all: for "traditional web links", how much do you rely on bing? The user consensus seems to be 100%. What is the official number from you? Thanks!

I assume you mean "If any opponent suspects your IP address..." You can counter that easily. That's why you should use a multihop VPN.

Here's a thought: If you let ChatGPT be idle, thinking to itself, dreaming and planning, this might actually cross the boundary towards sentience - of what we would call somebody who is alive. So there might be some safety and moral co

Love my Seaboard Block. Fits the size. Doesn't look to shabby next to Apple stuff. It's not your typical sample-trigger keyboard, but pair it with an mpe-Synth like Equator2, learn to play it expressively, and you get some amazing

Since the halftone dots are in a matrix that is at an angle, can't you just write a small program that measures the size of each halftone dot and stores that measurement? Then map the measured size to a grey value (supersmall = near wh
