The future victims when the imagery stops being enough.

Total return to the investor doesn’t require constant income growth. I don’t know if this is a particularly surprising chart.

They also acquired 250 people who they are now laying off and Weta is rehiring.

Seems like a disaster of a deal by Unity. Weta just got free money for a snapshot of their code.

That’s fine, but it’s okay to call out the author’s bias. They contributed wonderful tests of the limitations of the headset. But the headset is only a failure for the authors use case. (AR)

That is a valid problem, but with MR pass through there is also a compute issue. The cameras are not in the same location as the users eyes. They have a wider parallax than the users eyes and are forward several inches. There is no simple transformation to correct the video to have the same perspective as the user. Instead a 3d representation of the environment must be created, camera imagery projected on to it, and then rendered to the position of the user’s eye. All of this done as fast as possible and highest rate possible. This explodes in compute with increasing resolutions. MQP is doing this with 3 cameras, color compositing, and without the aide of a depth camera.

This is the same person who did comics at Google. Their work was a highlight during my time there. Google even used their comics for basic employee training.

I’m surprised folks say that we can’t be critical of own employer. Our employers are not lords or kings. We choose to work for them and can replace them.

I believe you can shatter then with vice grips in an emergency.

Seems like it is a giant strainer. The walls are permeable and the river is supposed to push the water through the pool/filter to produce clean water.

Also helps the consumer. My ISP doesn't offer unlimited bandwidth. Covid-19 has me hitting caps from being home so much.

Isn't that what VecLib is for? Also there are other math libraries to use on ARM. I think we use EigenBLAS in our products.

This article opens up with a mistake? It's 7 yuan per dollar. Not the other way around.
