https://immersedvr.com/ Virtual monitors in an Oculus Quest that actually works. What’s coming up that will be amazing is hand controls (including a virtual keyboard) and conferencing and collaboration tools.
Couldn’t figure out how to add virtual monitors
1. Cloudflare Workers, I don't have the bandwidth to experiment with it right now but it interests me greatly. https://workers.cloudflare.com/ 2. Rust - definitely will be the next language I learn. Sadly the coronavirus cancelled a series of meetings in Michigan promising to give a gentle introduction to Rust. https://www.rust-lang.org/learn
Why rust over go?
Go was designed to be easy to use for un-demanding problems. People mostly switch to Go from Ruby, Python, or Java; or from C in places where C was an unfortunate choice to begin with.
Rust is gunning for C++ territory, in places where the greater expressiveness of C++ is not needed or, in cases, not welcome. They would like to displace C (and the world would be a better place if that happened) but people still using C at this late date will typically be the last to adopt Rust.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) occupies a intermediate position in accuracy / skin depth for soft tissue between ultrasound and MRI Optically pumped magnetometers (OPM) approaches SQUID level accuracy without need for supercooled device, can be worn or used as a contact sensor like ultrasound. LoRA long range (10km +) low power sub-gigahertz radio frequency protocol useful for battery powered IoT devices transmit…
Oh man, I used to research in OCT for deep brain stimulation! It's pretty cool tech, that is for sure. It's got a huge market for bio applications and certain industrials. That said, optics is a super finicky field. You can come in and get a Nobel for 5 hours work, or you can spend 50 years in a dark room trying to get things together. Alignment is crazy difficult, thought it seems it shouldn't be. Anyone that wants…

You could be right. My alternative possible timeline interpretation is that two forces collide and make self-driving inevitable. The first force is the insurance industry. It's really hard to argue that humans are more fallible than even today's self-driving setups, and at some point the underwriters will take note and start premium-blasting human drivers into the history books. The second force is the power of numbe…
Having high-speed steel boxes carrying human lives and what else react on messages from untrusted sources. Hmm. What could go wrong?
I want to understand why being in a high-speed steel/plastic box with humans (overrated in some views) controlled by a computer scares you so much. Is it primal or are you working off data I do not have? Please share. I am being 100% sincere - I need to understand your perspective.
To re-state in brief: (individual) autonomous self-driving tech today tests "as safe as" ranging to "2-10x safer" than a typical human driver. This statistic will likely improve reliably over the next 5-10 years.
However, I am talking about an entire societal mesh network infrastructure of cars, communicating in real-time with each other and making decisions as a hive. As the ratio flips quickly from humans to machines, I absolutely belive that you would have to be quantifiably unsane to want to continue endangering the lives of yourself, your loved ones and the people in your community by continuing to believe that you have more eyes, better reaction and can see further ahead than a mesh of AIs that are constantly improving.
So yeah... I don't understand your skepticism. Help me.

>it's hard to see where they would fit into a compute pipeline given that you need to transfer the data to the FPGA, perform your computation/processing, and then transfer the data back. I see them going mainstream when brain computer interfaces go mainstream (prob a long way away) since a lot of it (in my experience working in a couple of labs and some related hardware) depends on processing a lot of the data from t…
Fpgas are too expensive, power hungry, and large. We use them for many tasks at my workplace and we are spinning up an ASIC team because using fpgas just doesn't meet our power and size requirements. Also, building asics can be cheaper in the long run if the future of what needs to be done is relatively stable.
I don't doubt it, yet I found hard to describe the human brain over time, especially across people, as that; at least from a DSP and beamforimg of impedance measurements from the scalp to gauge the relative output of power at variable regions in the brain perspective.

So you’re saying it should have better performance than go?

I don't know why the parent comment talked in such absolute terms, but these recent problems may be relevant: https://news.bitcoin.com/hidden-lightning-network-bug-allowe... https://news.bitcoin.com/mishap-sees-user-lose-30000-btc-on-...
Bitcoin.com isn't a neutral source on LN related material. The parent company (St Bitts LLC) directly invest in Bitcoin Cash startups that compete directly with Bitcoin itself. The bug has already been patched, and had a limited userbase. The user who supposedly lost all his Bitcoin ended up not being true, vast majority was recovered. It's also worth noting that the user also deliberately went against various UI war…

I'd say yes, although learning dart maybe take a week or two in worst case. Flutter, as opposed to react native, is quite easy to set up. The declarative UI paradigm is nice.
one two weeks is not bad at all for a new language. Thank you for answering. I hope Google doesn't lose interest in Flutter and shutter it. Any thoughts on using Flutter for the web?

Which, as a regular user, I don't understand when I see it. Hell, I am a dev, and I still did not know that will let me create one quickly.
Agreed. Do you have any suggestions to improve the initial onboarding?
- user picks a cloud (or have a "Advanced" option on the next step instead)
- you show them OpenID/OAuth form for their cloud provider
- guide them through the creation of an account if necessary
- you get the token, that permits your server to create cloud resources on behalf of the user
- you go ahead and create their services for them
- potentially store the token to be able to update the apps automatically
I thought about that, when I was considering to make a similar service (also similar to sandstorm.io). Glad to see somebody doing something in that area (I guess without the permissions model yet).
Problem is: most clouds don't let you easily create an account, so "guide them through the creation of an account" might be impossible without leaving the browser.
