Maybe it could be used to make VR and AR headsets that have no lenses.

It's clear they are just outclassed by Disney+. People thought the hard part was creating the streaming platform, the content was mostly licensed with a few exclusives. It's now clear that exclusive content is everything. Disney h

Mostly it is latency added by webcams, microphones(But our ears are used to delayed audio anyway) and the software. Your webcam probably has >100ms of latency then the app adds >50ms then multiply that by 2x (for two way conversation)

I've been reading lots of books (On computer graphics) and it's surprising how much better the average book content is then most online resources. I guess the difficulty to get it published really forces the quality to be high. It

If you just use regular vertex and fragment shaders then all of that is automatically handled. A game like World of Warcraft might not use advanced GPU features that would slow down a TBDR.

I'm not that good at focusing, but one thing I've found that's super helpful is to turn my computer screen to monochrome. Obviously this doesn't work if you need colour.

I don't think that people only value the output. Take "Selfie Girl"[0] by Inigo Quilez people appreciate that it's a shader, even people that are not into programming (though they'd need to see the making of video[1

I think people should assess their surroundings to find what is good exercise for them to do. I run trails just because I live across the road from trails to run. If I had to travel to the trail I probably wouldn't go everyday.

I wonder if there will be any CAD software that used SDF for modelling. Smooth detail + easy slicing seems like a good fit.

I think at the exact same time you posted this I also recommended an Erich Fromm book.

Wont this have a huge impact on all banks? If I had this I'd shut down my bank account and just have this + investments. Banks offer too low yields to be worth while. I think digital currencies are the future but it would have a huge a

I almost had a heart attack when I read this. I've been using bitwise operations to speed up the Wave Function Collapse algorithm... and the prime minister of Singapore has done something very similar years before!

In the future webpages will be streamed from a server and we will only see a video stream. No ad block will be possible as the whole page will just be a single html canvas (or some new stream element). It will suck.

I don't get how the UK has the tabloid culture while having a completely deranged legal system. Wouldn't anyone who has been in one be able to sue? Why does the USA have so much less(Obviously it has some) when their free speech l

I wonder if AI can help better vet science to see if there's flaws. I was looking at a paper recently[0] about how Swedish men cause more emissions than women. I feel like it has big issues that could be fairly easily checked with an A

IMO C for GameBoy dev is a non starter. It's so different from other platforms that you really just want to control the instructions directly. Say you type "a * 5" that would just be one instruction on a regular cpu but it mu

I used to use it and stopped, not sure when or why. I think most people just started using Instagram and Twitter to share art? Most pros in the games industry use ArtStation now along with Twitter. I think it's less important to share

The scepticism mainly comes from people acting like eating only potatoes for a week would be bad (people do this potato cleanse thing). I don't mean that I'm sceptical of all nutrition but I do think that there's lots of fake

I've been mostly eating potatoes in January. I've eaten other stuff as well and but probably 90% of calories have come from potatoes, early on it was entirely potatoes. I also took a multivitamin everyday. This seems to work fine,

This stuff reminds me of New Math[0], I like this video on it[1]. People have a bizarre relationship with math. Somehow it's a huge problem if people don't memorise a lookup table of multiplication of unsigned integers from 1-12,

I think people should really talk about mass market fashion vs luxury fashion. Many people seem to think that buying LVMH clothes or other luxury brands is somehow more ethical when those brands can be even worse. Those brands just sell far

I don't want to hate on this game but I think there's a bad trend amongst all YC game investments. How do they not realise that production values are important for games? Pretty much all YC funded games don't have good art di

It could be other things though. Perhaps those that think they are going to die have reacted badly to injuries in the past, they are subconsciously aware that the injury is more serious to them than someone else (or that the injury is more

Wave Function Collapse is actually the same (or essentially identical) as Model Synthesis[1]. IMO that is a better name. [1] https://paulmerrell.org/model-synthesis/
