First you're leaping to a conclusion that because body of scientific evidence doesn't support specific conclusion that it implies it's impossible or the scientific community is close minded. It just implies that good quality research is required to separate truth from trash.

Second you're repeating an inverted version of pessimistic meta-induction to support epistemic optimism but that is an inference about science in general, not specific results/outcomes/discoveries. To understand the flaw in this consider how many cranks compare themselves to Galileo.

he's been at this for decades now and has made many hundreds of millions of dollars

the youtube video "The David Sinclair $720,000,000 Train Wreck!" is a funny take on it. But there's been loads of critical commentary on specifics.

"some truth" is doing a lot of work here. Almost everything I've read about Sinclair is that his studies and claims about them don't stand up to the body of scientific evidence

in other videos the interface would fly away and lose tracking with motion like that. so probably trolling

no, if you can't see well ~2 meters away without it you won't be able to see well inside of it. it's also optimized for minimal video latency. latency from additional video processing might trigger vr sickness unless there is something simple that could help. keeping in mind that with current technology the acuity will be significantly lower than normal eyes at that fixed focal distance

you don't need a 3d tv to watch 3d blu rays. you can watch in VR. just rip them to iso or mkv/mk3d and you can watch in 4xvr on Meta Quest (more convoluted for pc players but also doable)

not sure if it's suitable for 3d gaussian splatting but if it is someone will probably make an app for it

the 3d depth actually looks ok (I've watched it on Quest 3 after converting with the spatialify app) but whatever they do to generate the stereoscopic effect is most effective for closer objects and flattens further out

"There is very good reason to believe our ego includes an element of quantum information and not merely probability based associations" is a kind of word salad I could imagine ChatGPT writing because it's been trained on pseudo profound bullshit in it's training set

it's in 35-55ms range under an ideal scenario which is acceptable enough for many. Wired VR can be under 20ms with good performance. I definitely wouldn't use Steam Link or Virtual Desktop on twitch games if I had a choice but it's the only choice if you only have a Quest. There's a lot of hyperbole on Reddit saying it's near displayport quality but I think most of those those people don't know any better (some people don't notice they are in reprojection, or the difference between 80 and 120hz refresh).

Image quality in static scenes can be quite good despite video compression - the issue is what the video looks like in motion. Sadly, many people are ok with blurry smearing in motion using sample and hold LCD tv at 60hz so to them it's just normal. And several of the high end wired VR headsets (Pimax Crystal, Varjo Aero) also don't have low persistence displays

I was previously on Teksavvy via Rogers Cable but when fiber came to the area I switched to Bell. I do like supporting competition but 1000/50 cable that frequently had connection issues (slowness, dropouts, etc) vs 3000/3000 fiber is a no brainer. And the only downtime I've had on fiber is when the router was a bit flaky and had to reboot. So yeah... it had to happen otherwise the third party providers were dead in a lot of cities

no sleight of hand. they are just confused because of bad nvidia naming scheme. this came up in the discussion referenced in the article. the nvidia employee claimed enthusiasts would know the difference and talk about subfeatures like frame generation, ray reconstruction, etc but more than likely they aren't disentangling it because the confusion helps them in self serving ways e.g. on Nvidia YouTube channel they post before and after DLSS frame generation video comparisons without explaining it isn't a direct like for like comparison

shield 2019 pro plays everything perfectly with plex. the only issue is possibly if you have constrained bandwidth where spikes (from e.g. blu-ray remuxes) may cause an issue with frame drops etc. I've heard some other players like infuse may be slightly better (not sure if it's because they have a newer version of mpv or they just sip from buffer a bit different)

they link to studies in the article...

" I assume the rest of the article is equally vague" = I did not read the article

always be skeptical when his name is mentioned. he's a supreme bullshitter
