Maybe it could be used to make VR and AR headsets that have no lenses.

Hopefully soon they will make Starlink as a hat.

It's clear they are just outclassed by Disney+. People thought the hard part was creating the streaming platform, the content was mostly licensed with a few exclusives. It's now clear that exclusive content is everything. Disney have new content every month (ie. Moon Knight -> Obi-Wan Kenobi) and high quality movies like Luca and Turning Red.

Netflix's strategy seems to be just get big name actors and mediocre creatives and hope it works. The Adam Project might have a lot of viewers but how many of those are just because it's there? How many people would say "The Adam Project is my favorite movie" and how does that compare to Luca?

Netflix has been essentially making the equivalent of direct to DVD movies as its whole strategy while Disney has been bringing their best. They are becoming The Asylum of the streaming world.

Mostly it is latency added by webcams, microphones(But our ears are used to delayed audio anyway) and the software. Your webcam probably has >100ms of latency then the app adds >50ms then multiply that by 2x (for two way conversation). Even a display like a TV can have loads of latency.

If you just open up a camera view there's huge latency without it even sending data anywhere. The internet latency is probably only a small portion of over all latency and WiFi latency isn't much either. There's already lots of latency with audio (Perhaps having a microphone could make audio travel faster then through air?)

I wish people would take latency more seriously. Using a rolling shutter, encoding a single line at a time and sending it via UDP could probably save almost all the latency. Sub 30ms latency IMO would make it much better.

I've been reading lots of books (On computer graphics) and it's surprising how much better the average book content is then most online resources. I guess the difficulty to get it published really forces the quality to be high. It's so easy to get a copy of "The Cg Tutorial" for a couple of bucks online and get an overview of the graphics pipeline that is super higher quality(Though for 20 year old GPUs).

It's great that people are putting versions of their books online. I just hope that they keep making physical versions. I much prefer reading on paper rather than a screen or even kindle.

If you just use regular vertex and fragment shaders then all of that is automatically handled. A game like World of Warcraft might not use advanced GPU features that would slow down a TBDR.

I'm not that good at focusing, but one thing I've found that's super helpful is to turn my computer screen to monochrome. Obviously this doesn't work if you need colour.

I think people should assess their surroundings to find what is good exercise for them to do. I run trails just because I live across the road from trails to run. If I had to travel to the trail I probably wouldn't go everyday.

I wonder if there will be any CAD software that used SDF for modelling. Smooth detail + easy slicing seems like a good fit.

I think at the exact same time you posted this I also recommended an Erich Fromm book.

Escape From Freedom by Erich Fromm

Wont this have a huge impact on all banks? If I had this I'd shut down my bank account and just have this + investments. Banks offer too low yields to be worth while. I think digital currencies are the future but it would have a huge affect on banks and payments companies.
