Yeah, but I don’t think they’ll keep it unless it turns a profit. Meta as a whole will always have ads which literally print money for free, but they’ll Google the VR line as soon as their lizard overlord gets bored of the metaverse idea. Maybe they’ll sell it instead of close it like Google always does, actually… That would be nice.
I am being somewhat exaggerative with word choices.
I don’t see them turning a profit on the market after killing their competitors. I don’t get their angle. Unless they can offer something truly transformative, they’re going to put themselves out of business doing that.
But yeah, they have this all in on VR/AR mentality which I don’t see working out. Killing the competition does guarantee no one else makes a good product either.
Thank you. Also, kind of fair, but the library probably needs to be bigger before people are willing to adopt too.
I always kind of thought a good desktop system, where wearing the headset is cheaper than getting a new larger monitor or more monitors, but the long term comfort of wearing a headset instead kills that idea pretty strongly right now. Even just a theater experience is kinda meh.
Porn does tend to sell technological advances though.
Well said. Also, good suggestions. I haven’t tried a few of those.
You can now get refurbished for around $200. Mostly the meta quest 2. I’d be happier with something that isn’t meta affiliated, but it’s a solid headset. Considering how expensive most of the rest are, getting it down this far is pretty good. Maybe in a decade, there will be more entry headsets at this price point or lower.
Convenience: meta has hand tracking as controllers and can play games by itself so you only need to put the headset on, and theirs is much lighter than the old vives I cut my VR teeth on. The head strap isn’t great still for convenience, but there are third party straps that are much easier to put on and take off. The framework for convenient VR is there, but support is dwindling as there’s not much money in the VR market compared to the cost vs anything else in games.
I hate that most of this is about meta, but I haven’t seen anyone else really making great strides in VR. There’s a Chinese company I need to find again which apparently made super light headsets I was going to keep an eye on and forgot.
NFS: Hot Pursuit. HP2 was a perfect game in the arcade racer genre. HP remake doesn’t even have bots in multiplayer, meaning you and your buddies won’t be chased by cops because no one plays that game and the cops have to be played by humans.
The master branch in git isn’t the same though. It’s closer related to the word “remaster.” Master used to mean the original document is still used everywhere in tech and outside of it.
Main makes more sense since a master copy should be something that doesn’t change in my opinion. But that’s semantics…
I love discord, for what it’s for. Quick synchronous talks you will never refer back to again. So not software development where indexable logs of information are necessary. I know discord has indexing, and now some form of forum. But every discord I’ve been to for development (especially modding communities) has a large corpus of synchronous logs where people get annoyed if you ask a question that was answered one before a long time ago with extremely common language making it nearly impossible to search for because the keywords have been used out of context of your question hundreds of times since the question was asked.
If the Dev communities used the forums mode in discord more, it wouldn’t always solve it, but it’d be much better. There are better places than discord for these things, but I have been trying to meet people where they’re established.
/prəˈrɒgətɪv/ Huh. I guess usually when a schwa and a rhotic is involved, my dialect drops it. I pronounce it /prˈrɒgətɪv/ which could be romanized to pur-ROH-guh-tiv. But there’s no actual separation between the u and the r there.
Definitely disagree with the clear best choice one. Our group regularly switches things around. Of course to each their own.
Hannah Montana Linux. Do I have to explain?
No. Make sure your password is memorable to you, and long without being easily guessed. The more secure the initial password, the longer you can go without switching. The more memorable the initial password, the longer you can go without using password recovery.
If your passwords are safety critical, they should not be written anywhere, making remembering them key.
This assumes you’re not using two factor authentication of course. With 2FA, your password security (not strength, that’s different but very related) is less important. Security requires the vector of attack to be small, so having a bunch of accounts with the same password decreases the security (but not strength) of your password.
Requiring frequent changes to passwords on average causes less secure and less strong passwords to be used, and causes the lost password recovery to be more frequently used, which is, in and of itself, a vector of vulnerability.
NT is easily my favorite. Soler is a treasure, not just for NT.
Apotheosis, Graham’s Things, and More Stuff are my next go to recommendations, but they can be very hard. The Noita Devs hosted a mod showcase pretty recently that shows off quite a few of the best mods in the game. The pinball one is a blast, especially together with NT.
There’s more than one enemy and more than one boss who can polymorph you.
Practicing with Respawn+ installed from the Steam Workshop (or elsewhere) is quite for learning, but not necessary for people who want the challenge. I went from mods that decrease difficulty to ones that add new bosses, secrets, and ways to die unfairly in an instant, and I don’t regret my time investment.

Not only is this not obsolete, it’s close to biographical as it closely references the first and second Artificial Intelligence Winters. The first being in the 60s. We’ve been working on these for a long time, so 5 years is short. It took until GPGPU to kick into full gear and some clever insights to get Deep Learning up and running (somewhat attributed to work published in 2011) to start reliably on this problem, and even that is an oversimplification of the timeline and the scope.
Others have mentioned oddities like the difficulty of subject matter (picture contains a bird vs picture of a bird) but there are a lot harder problems that are trivial to humans and counterintuitively incredibly hard for computers.
Designing good UX is harder than designing good UI is harder than writing good code. As a machine learning engineer, I will never be able to design UX. I have made a pretty UI once though.
