Nazi are still the bad guys. They're only "evergreen" because we failed to get rid of all of them. Damn things are like roaches.

Well, they were. They don't scatter when you shine a light on them anymore. On the plus side, that should make them easier to eradicate next time we get the chance.

Comment Re:Every company wants its own VR flop (Score 2) 49

There's a not insignificant portion of people who used their headset for more than 15minutes. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it, but the reality is you are a random person guessing on the internet. Valve on the other hand is a company who has immense amounts of data about the active use of hardware, active use of a dedicated API developed for VR (SteamVR) and a shitton of sales figures specific to titles dedicated solely to VR. And they have this data not including the fact that the most popular headset on the market is independent of their API and their store. Oh and this isn't their first rodeo either, their previous one considered anything but "a flop".

Someone with actual data thought this was a good investment decision. The peanut gallery guessing game is meaningless.

And yet the majority of drones on the market transmit digital re-encoded signals even without low-latency. The point I was making is that just because something isn't suitable for the most extreme condition doesn't make it "horrible" or "foolish". The world is dominated by the general purpose use case, not the niche extremes. There are more city bicycles in the world than high end racing bikes. The fact you don't see them in the Tour De France doesn't make their existence horrible of foolish.

I've also had many drones, even have a small one for doing tricks on (I'm not very good, I'm not trying to compare myself to racers). None of them I guarantee you have the low latency anywhere near any number you quoted, but yet they are normal common products enjoyed by the vast majority of the people.

In that regard will the Quest 3 or Valve's Frame be used for PCVR e-Sports competitions? No. But that doesn't make them horrible or foolish. OP even talks about using it for iRacing which is even dumber since racing reaction is predictive not reactive, the course doesn't magically changes and low latency will not determine his performance either. It's an arbitrary metric which doesn't apply to the common person.

And I remind the readers that "common" here is already a niche product. If you're hoping someone caters to a high performance niche of an already niche platform, man are you shit outta luck.

You have some serious misconceptions.

Either it is a linguistic problem, that you do not grasp the meaning of words, or you are a kind of autist.

I am happy that you are not in my team.

I simply do not like to argue about idiotic claims like this:
C is not unsafe, the developer writes unsafe C code, C is just as safe as Rust,
If you do not intentionally write unsafe code in Rust: the code is safe.
If you write C, then frankly, an uneducated moron - or idiotic nitpicker - like you seem to be: does not know if the code is safe or not.

Without explicitly using "unsafe" it is impossible to write unsafe code in Rust.

Has nothing to do with "heating up".

The original claim was: the grid got overloaded. Which is in a sane grid impossible.

And now your parent says """At 3:42 p.m., a power line sagged into filbert trees near Hillsboro, Oregon, just southwest of Portland." This developed into a cascading failure that affected a very large region.""

Which is the opposite of an "overloaded" grid. It is a broken grid.

And what has that to do with: "the grid gets overloaded"?

Nothing obviously.

The opposite happend. The grid got cut into pieces and the areas that were not connected anymore: lost power. Same what happens to your computer when you pull the plug - oops.

... did not understand the degree to which AI could "hallucinate" facts.

As the judges implied, I'm pretty sure EVERY practising lawyer has heard about AI hallucinations biting lawyers on the ass. This guy is either lying or hopelessly out of touch.

Either way, he should be disbarred because he is either too dishonest and corrupt, or too stupid, to practise law.

If you have people working on a problem for decades, and there are rumors that they have made progress, what is the motivation to independently launch your millions of dollars of AI inference at that same problem?

In a normal academic context, none and moreover this sort of deliberate scooping would be considered incredibly bad behavior. When you have two giant corporations fighting to be able to have results they can showcase to the public and their investors? Then it makes a lot more sense, even as it is incredibly damaging to the academic math culture. This is really toxic behavior and deserves pushback. But it is a mistake to go from there to think that therefore any copying or plagiarism happened.
