If you watch the video linked in the article description, they give a fairly thorough explanation of how it all works and say that they can achieve sub 80ms latency. They say a user needs to be within 1000 miles of their server and needs a high speed internet connection for this to work. They say they can highly compress a standard or HD video frame in 1ms. They do this by compressing the video using an advanced compression algorithm and running it on silicon. They also say they use a proprietary technique to get low latency from wireless controllers. The video presentation linked above is long but it is quite interesting.

This is way cool, yes. But I miss the obfuscated C contest which was also way cool eg in terms of discovering legal features of the language that probably should never get used LOL. What happened to it?

And what made you think my post wasn't satire too? I leave it as an exercise for you to detect the sarcasm in that post. Or if you prefer, get off my lawn.

I recall the day evolution was covered in my Texas public school, years ago. The regular science teacher left and a substitute came in to give a 30-45 minute lecture on Lamarck. His conclusion was that scientists were often wrong and that eventually the idea that "we are descended from monkeys" would also be rejected. I had wanted to laugh, but after looking around at my classmates I decided it was just too sad.

I don't see that this decision would help that sort of thing in the small, rural districts in Texas where this (along with bible study as "literature" these days) is much too common. I'd figured at the very least that discussing strengths and weakness would have more value.

As a type 1 diabetic I've long known that mental exercise is just as effective as moderate physical exercise in reducing my daily insulin requirements and driving down glucose levels, but I've never noticed any later spikes that would be expected with increased cortisol.
