Type more words, that’ll make you right.

That’s actually really cool. Framework will likely be my next laptop.

Hardware manufactures could (and should) put separate mic and cam LEDs wired directly in line with (wire in parallel to)the power circuits for the mic and camera. They won’t, but they should. Best they ever do is a digitally controlled LED that is sketchy as fuck, for the camera only.

Nile Red has a lot of videos that show these concepts and the power of chemistry and what you can do with it if you have enough understanding.

I wish I had scene videos like these in high school. It would have made chemistry so much less abstract.

Similarly: if you write a program to randomly run through all the combinations of pixels on a decently large screen (say, 1080p) you will eventually see every important question and answer that can be expressed on a screen.

Again please explain how they are over rated.

If I say “x is overrated” it’s a statement of my opinion relative to the average rating of x. That’s literally what the sentence means. Stating the average rating of x doesn’t disprove anything. You’re not even engaging with the idea lol. And there’s little reason to since it’s literally just someone’s opinion relative to the mainstream.

You’re confusing over/under rated with popularity.

Western countries employing Indian coders are generally looking for the cheapest coders they can find who speak passable English. All of that sounds like you got what you paid for.

Size really does matter for sites like this. Reddit still hosts many smaller subs for niche topics that often have limited toxicity. Lemmy can’t match it yet unfortunately.

I agree, and also the 1984 David Lynch Dune movie was the pinnacle of film making.

Plus it’s harder to pass the buck and blame an AI for your screw ups. It would be perceived, as the kids say, as a skills issue.

In this particular story, if there’s any truth to it then it’s basically extortion. They could have just said that due to their usage profile they will need to switch to an enterprise license for the next billing period . Instead they tried to extort it within 24h lol.

And of course you have to buy a whole year of service (lol). This last thing is a symptom of a degenerate market with few competitors. No company that fears competition would try to pull that stunt.

You should watch Hell or High Water. It’s set in West Texas but the story has broader relevance and it’s a great film.

If someone working in semiconductor manufacturing were to answer this question they would probably have to say “I make sand think” and just walk away.

Goyer himself admits how lucky he is to have his name on the Dark Knight given how far he was from its primary writer.

VR has been around in modern form for more than a decade and the only truly novel and useful application is some types of gameplay.

There are a few other legitimate applications. Architects can offer people a 1st person view of a designed building. There are already companies that let people do VR walkthrough of homes they’re considering buying rather than in person open houses (I think this started in the pandemic).

These things have value but they’re niche applications that can be done with any VR headset.

Has anyone identified the “killer app” yet?

I still don’t see it. I watched a lot of review vids just because it was interesting but I don’t see a single thing that the Vision Pro can do that can’t be done better with other devices.

The tech and computation required for those avatar things is amazing . It might get much better soon. But even if it does, will it be better than simple FaceTime type video conferences?

It’s not clear to me how apple even imagines people using the thing.

As a non-surgeon I think doing a heart transplant without bypass shouldn’t be that hard if you’re fast enough. I mean you can cut arteries quickly with bolt cutters right?

Still annoys me that universe only found it’s stride in the last few episodes when the decision to cancel them had already been made. They introduce a species more powerful in the physical realm than the ancients - beings that can assemble a solar system - and then the show ends. They spent way too long trying to be BSG lite.

I know they’re generally harmless (they eat bugs and won’t bite you if you leave it alone) but they make my skin crawl and I can’t help but kill them with extreme prejudice when I find one.
