There is a clear reason - to make them uncomfortable. Nobody forced them to work there, and it is obvious to everyone what kind of future they are building there. If you exchange your soul for a good paycheck, this is just what you get.

The alternative is "Oh, you work at Schutzstaffel? That's cool!". That he has done is morally correct.

It's trivial (if you know what you are doing) to load kernel drivers from userspace by abusing windows bugs. If you trust a program to run in userspace, then it already has all the keys to the kingdom.

Welcome to windows security.

Good that you've managed to read the first sentence. But it would have been better if you've also read the second one where he explicitly said "I created the account just for my Oculus Quest 2 and don't post anything on it".

>They didn't even feel the need to use TSMC 7nm

They just couldn't get enough wafers. They tried to force TSMC to lower the prices and it backfired.

"White is unambiguously the correct answer."

Hmm, isn't sun wavelength actually closer to very very bright green?

Good AR is much harder than VR. So it makes sense to tackle VR first.

>because the players were human

It's a very compelling story, but that wasn't actually the case. The real reason was the flawed design. People just had to kill everything for the materials because of the way equipment was implemented.

To put it bluntly, because the road constant progress and improvement can potentially unveil the meaning of existence of the universe. Nihilism is naive by definition, just because you don't know the meaning, doesn't mean that there is no meaning at all.

Humans are actually special. We are smarter than any other animal on earth and have culture. Human brain is the most complex structure in the known universe, so even on that scale we are pretty special.

And it simply makes no sense to just throw away millions of years of evolution. Your nihilistic worldview is very naive.

If you really want to, you can "manufacture" high resolution timer pretty easily with thread spinning.

kd-11 was fine, the criticisms is mostly directed at "the main dev" nekotekina. Go through the git history of the last 4~ years. It's not amazing or impressive by any stretch of the imagination.

To be honest, i think $3k per month is already pretty generous, considering the amount of work the lead dev does. I followed the project closely couple of years ago and even back then it obvious for anyone who studied the codebase, that nekotekina lost all enthusiasm about the project a long time ago.

They should consider switching to per-task payment model, so maybe some other talented people can participate, because nowadays devs supported by that patreon page do just enough work to put at least something in the monthly changelog.

>the filter doesn't operate on single frames, but considers several previous frames in order to maintain temporal cohesion and to improve quality.

Do you happen to know how bad are the artifacts? I remember temporal antialiasing produced very good results with static scenes, but fell apart on dynamic ones.

I didn't change my argument. "Just bruteforce the login page" is not a go-to method of the competent attacker. Why? Because it's trivial to stop it.

You want simple concrete example of how to stop all that "unlimited amount of ip addresses with captcha solver service" stuff? No more than 20 attempts per day with ip different from the ip of the last successful login. Here it is, you just solved the "bruteforce problem". That's all you have to do. Other things are just quality of life improvements.
