49·9 days agoHave I got a video for you!
Edit: with narration https://youtu.be/fPF4fBGNK0U
131·12 days agoBought it in 2018. Tried to convince him to buy a Kia.
Guy randomly stopped me to ask me how I like my Model 3 when I was getting out of it in a parking lot last week. First time that’s happened in like 6 years.
PSSST
“It’s pronounced PS/2”
54·28 days agoI thought VR/AR would be farther along. There was a pitch 10 years ago that VR would be the “final platform” in that anything a phone, TV, tablet, or computer could do could be easily emulated in VR.
Unfortunately it’s still all walled gardens. Also nobody wants to wear that shit for more than an hour.
35·1 month agoFor everyone who never tried it, they had honest to god paid employees in Horizon Worlds to help players get oriented. I cannot imagine a worse job.
The one I ran into was standing in front of some “game” experience that was like…jumping on tiles or some shit.
But I thought the whole line was “hOrIzOn WoRlDs iSnt the MeTaVeRsE.”
Followed by no explanation of what the metaverse is.
There’s a remote job listing on LinkedIn right now for $125/hr to train an AI how to do schematic capture and layout. Like it’s right in the listing that you’re training an AI to do your job. Insanity.
My whole friend group stopped trusting Meta a few years ago, so I got everyone on Matrix-Synapse instead of WhatsApp.
I just set it up on my homeserver. Everyone just calls it “Element” and has no idea how it works, but the UI is familiar and easy to use.
Trying to work on Pixelfed, but most interesting photos just get shared on Matrix anyway.
Oh, they’re highly configurable. I use a DJI video camera (tiny 4k camera on a stick), but I assume the larger SLR gimbals can do the same. You can hold a button to lock the angle to the stick, lock the angle to the environment, set it to only stabilize vertically (if you’re tracking a laterally moving target), quickly re-center, and even tweak how quickly it responds to movement.
Of course my gimbal has all the camera controls on the handle. Not sure how it’ll work if you’re using an SLR. Especially with manual zoom/focus. But it’s a good start.
There are definitely a number of motorized gimbals you can mount a camera to. Gives you more flexibility. Just need to rig up a remote shutter release.
Definitely not Mandela, but maybe it’s something Google never officially confirmed.
Here’s an article about Ingress, the spiritual predecessor to PkmnGo. https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21628936-200-why-googles-ingress-game-is-a-data-gold-mine/
I feel like this was common knowledge back in 2016. Is this surprising to anyone?
And you realize that it’s taking a while to delete that small handful of files.
Ironically, the three trades you listed are in high demand right now specifically because of the rapid rollout of the data centers needed to power AI.
I don’t understand, why wouldn’t the AI simply write its own version of whatever software it needs to license?
