wahahah··on TransparentHMD: Revealing the HMD User’s Face to Bystanders (2017) [pdf]
The 7 had space for a jack (see StrangeParts retrofitting one); they removed it purely for sleekness (and money).
wahahah··on Notes on Vision Pro
I found it notable Apple has this to say about eye tracking under the "Learn more about privacy and security" section:

>Eye input is not shared with Apple, third-party apps, or websites. Only your final selections are transmitted when you tap your fingers together.

Along with this small video: https://www.apple.com/105/media/us/apple-vision-pro/2023/7e2...

Which is great and important for me to see, but I'm unsure how that jives with features such as foveated rendering.

"Humane"; unless you are talking about some kind of 1:1 sacrifice system
wahahah··on Apple Vision
Will this be necessary for nearsightedness as well?

I figured it would be fine but I'm not aware of the physics

wahahah··on Nvidia releases new AI chip with 480GB CPU RAM, 96GB GPU RAM

wahahah··on Apple Vision Pro: Apple’s first spatial computer
Apple seems to have a good track record for considering this kind of stuff. On the "Learn more about visionOS" section of the site they state this:

> Like every Apple product, Vision Pro was designed with accessibility in mind. The flexible input system lets you use your eyes, hands, and voice individually or in any combination with features like Dwell, Voice, and Pointer Control.

Maybe we can mod it for anime eyes
wahahah··on Rust: The wrong people are resigning
It's no different than trying to unearth the identity of a random twitter or HN user. It's not about regarding them as a standalone entity; it's about not upheaving the psuedonymity that can be granting them their free expression.
wahahah··on Thought Cloning: Learning to think while acting by imitating human thinking
Tangential, but the AlphaGo that beat Lee Sedol was written in Lua and I would have loved to see them stick with it instead of migrating to Python.
wahahah··on Intelligent Brains Take Longer to Solve Difficult Problems
GETs changing/setting cookies is normal, not generally considered as a part of State in REST.

(Should still be styled as a button, however.)

wahahah··on Third-party Reddit apps are being crushed by price increases
AFAIK it's generally not a thing because of fraud / lack of metribility.
wahahah··on What is the nature of consciousness?
> Do you think asking the general public about a very specific culturally loaded topic is better then refering to the experts?

What's the harm? "Experts" can share their perspectives as well.

wahahah··on QArt Codes

wahahah··on Rust: The wrong people are resigning
In the culture of virtual youtubing, discussing anything past the character and their content is a faux pas.

On 4chan's /vt/ the euphemism for this is "roommate" discussion, and any posting of details about "roommates" is a bannable offense.

Of course being 4chan some users will eat bans (primarily when they're upset and want to spite other users), so some details of some known roommates do inevitably surface from time to time; but ultimately casual discussion of it is taboo.

wahahah··on A PhD student's perspective on research in NLP in the era of LLMs
I pronouce the latter as ~parent-siz; having them the same never sat right with me.
wahahah··on Electric cars prove we need to rethink brake lights
Note: one-pedal mode slows the car as the accelerator is released.

wahahah··on Japanese police make first YouTuber arrest for uploading video game gameplay
There are choices which set flags, decide character routes, and determine a multitude of endings.

Typically a full playthrough will try to get all endings, but won't get all of the subchoices that just affect flavour. https://vndb.org/v11/lengthvotes
