We’re still very far off from that and trending away from using more land in developed countries.
Tyranny generally results in stagnation. It’s a bottleneck. All the power and decisions reduced to a single individual or group of individuals leaves no room for experimentation and growth. Progress becomes single…
Technically it’s possible in any environment except those that kill 100% of the population. Whatever survives, survives and reproduces.
That’s odd because I have the opposite feeling. I almost never play regular computer games anymore because I see it as a time sink. I also avoid watching things by myself for the same reason. Playing a VR game or…
Wealth transfer isn’t going to improve anyone’s well being. Making a better lifestyle more affordable by increasing productivity will though.
Why should there be a limit on human productivity? After all it means we are getting more efficient at the things we are doing, doing more with less, is that not a laudable goal? Any time we have approached a limit we…
This sounds like an argument against TV or movies or the internet. Those things are also substitutes for real life experiences and yet people still spend huge amounts of time with them. VR doesn’t have to preclude the…
Well, I do watch movies with others in VR on a fairly regular basis and it’s great. Could be better, headsets need to be more comfortable and pass through has room for improvement but both of those things are on the…
Both the other commenters make good points. Meta is uniquely positioned to build the first metaverse. It may not be the only metaverse and it may not come out on top in the end but it will likely prove a lot of the…
Except it will have no games, cost $4k and will probably be difficult to port anything to. Great for Apple’s current mbpro market but ignored by everyone else.
Personally, I think that both TV and movies are going to be driving VR adoption. The Netflix of VR movies could be huge if they were able to offer the right content. A fully virtual theatre that gets new releases could…
Those numbers are easily found but you also have to ask the same questions about waste produced by manufacturing renewables.
I’d like to see a cost estimate in both dollars and land area for pumped hydro.
How is their bet on VR misguided in your opinion?
Don’t forget that reverse pass through may be a thing so you might have a screen on the outside which opens up all kinds of possibilities.
I’d argue that if you wear it, especially in a highly visible location like over your eyes, then it is a fashion accessory. Like a hat or glasses it may serve a purpose but that doesn’t negate the need for it to look…
Maybe it’s just me but the magic leap 2 looks way dorkier than a good pair of ski goggles. You could probably make them look more like shield sunglasses if you prefer that vibe.
I don’t think it’s that ambitious. Cambria is standalone, has colour pass through for mixed reality and has balanced the weight distribution better by using pancake lenses and putting the battery on the back. It will…
Did you try having your gaze put elements into easy reach of a cursor or pointer instead of using the gaze as a pointer? Gaze is often an indicator of intent so rather than have it do something it would be more natural…
I don’t think your analogy is correct. Colour and alteration of angle and shadow/lines produces a functionally distinct effect ie those who like the Warhol may dislike and the original for a variety of reasons including…
I dunno, I prefer the Warhol over the original. Should art like this not exist or be heavily discouraged or controlled by licensing fees? Copyright seems to be stuck in a scarcity mindset. Especially for static images…
It may only be 5% of people that care about space exploration by itself but a lot more will care if we’re lucky enough to only get a house sized impactor as a warning shot. At that size there’s a hope that there would…
I’m aware of several heavily subsidized renewable projects in my local area alone that have failed to deliver usable power to a grid that sorely needs it. I’m aware of 0 independently funded ventures even though my area…
I didn’t say that I think it’s impossible. I’m asking for the reasoning behind the belief that it would be the optimal solution. In this context a lot of details are being talked about to argue for or against the…
Exactly what I thought when I saw the dimensions and tonnage. Honestly they could probably just refurbish this equipment, add some telemetry and station keeping jets and load it onto a Falcon 9. That’d be a great first…
