A major advantage of using modern game engines is the multiplatform support. This seems pretty weak on that front.

"Yoke" is pronounced like "yo K", not like the control wheel of an aircraft. (Then again, seeing how nobody pronounces Pokémon as Pokémon, I guess striving for accurate pronunciati…

To be pedantic, two cameras were enough for the headset to track itself (eg. Lenovo Mirage Solo). The reason that headsets nowadays have 4 cameras is for it to also track the hand …

Gonna be eagerly waiting for the time when we can finally change our behavior at will, be it neural implants or nanomachines or whatever other method of direct intervention to the …

Well, "never" is a strong enough word to extend even into science fiction land (or 100, 1000, 10000, 100000 years into the future and beyond). Hence the reaction you got.

I myself don't strongly agree nor disagree with the individual arguments -- I'm not knowledgeable enough on the subject to form an opinion either for or against -- but the point wa…

Came to say this. They operate under the same rules of physics; it should just be as likely that their planetary motions and cultural history will also force them into weird counti…

Japan uses the Western calendar pretty much as-is. One addition is the Japanese gengou system of year/era counting, which resets with a new era name every time a new emperor is ent…

I've gotten it running with a Radeon RX 6800 on Ubuntu Linux 22.04 (with overwriting PyTorch with a ROCm-supporting version), and on Windows 10 (in a very barebones way using ONNX)…
