Any show written for smart people, then aired on fox.

I would imagine it’s the same scale, just a base 10 feet instead of 20 feet. So in yours you would see at 24 feet what the average person would see at 20 feet. Assuming there is a linear relation, and no circumstantial drop off.

Also, usually when people use the term “perfect” vision, they mean 20/20, is that the case for you too. Another term for that is average vision, with people that have better vision than that having “better than average” vision.

And you get a TV small enough that it doesn’t suit that purpose? Looks like 75 inch to 85 inch is what would suit that use case. Big, but still common enough.

Hmm, I suppose quality of TV might matter. Not to mention actually going through the settings and making sure it isn’t doing anything to process the signal. And also not streaming compressed crap to it. I do visit other peoples houses sometimes and definitely wouldn’t know they were using a 4k screen to watch what they are watching.

But I am assuming actually displaying 4k content to be part of the testing parameters.

So, a 55-inch TV, which is pretty much the smallest 4k TV you could get when they were new, has benefits over 1080p at a distance of 7.5 feet… how far away do people watch their TVs from? Am I weird?

And at the size of computer monitors, for the distance they are from your face, they would always have full benefit on this chart. And even working into 8k a decent amount.

And that’s only for people with typical vision, for people with above-average acuity, the benefits would start further away.

But yeah, for VR for sure, since having an 8k screen there would directly determine how far away a 4k flat screen can be properly re-created. If your headset is only 4k, a 4k flat screen in VR is only worth it when it takes up most of your field of view. That’s how I have mine set up, but I would imagine most people would prefer it to be half the size or twice the distance away, or a combination.

So 8k screens in VR will be very relevant for augmented reality, since performance costs there are pretty low anyway. And still convey benefits if you are running actual VR games at half the physical panel resolution due to performance demand being too high otherwise. You get some relatively free upscaling then. Won’t look as good as native 8k, but benefits a bit anyway.

There is also fixed and dynamic foveated rendering to think about, with an 8k screen, even running only 10% of it at that resolution and 20% at 4k, 30% at 1080p, and the remaining 40% at 540p, even with the overhead of so many foveation steps, you’ll get a notable reduction in performance cost. Fixed foveated would likely need to lean higher towards bigger percentages of higher res, but has the performance advantage of not having to move around at all from frame to frame. Can benefit from more pre-planning and optimization.

This whole situation is setting a really bad president for the future.

Well, partially a dig on the “weird” “creepy” people that inherited a castle and either rarely or never left it. But also a bunch of generic "other"ing was bundled into it too. Similar to witches, just the poorer, femaler version of “doesn’t want to participate in society”(I mean the broad strokes of an older woman living out in a hut in the woods with her cat, is actually a pretty normal and understandable thing)… people still make up all kinds of scary versions of who the neighbourhood shut-in must be, and why they don’t leave their house. What kinds of scary things those people must be up to.

It’s all the same stuff, shut-ins are just on the internet now, so we talk to other people now. But our behaviours haven’t changed.

I mean, the ideas that made people write books about vampires had to come from somewhere, and it’s not like neurodivergent behaviours are new.

It’s not that we are like vampires… it’s that vampires are like us.

Overall is that even a deal over a used headset? Even a fully featured non-stripped down one? Like given what features his headset does have, it’s comparable to some pretty old headsets… and it likely does even those bare minimum features more poorly than an older used headset would. Not to mention comfort.

Like a 10 year old Rift CV1 has almost as much resolution at 90hz/fps instead of 60. And while it’s lenses would be relatively terrible now, they were pretty much the best option of their day, and likely still better than whatever this dude sourced. Not to mention their motion to photon was around 12 ms. The absolute best result this guy can hope for is 16.6ms, and that’s only if everything else in the pipeline is faster than the screens refresh rate… maybe it is… but I wouldn’t bet on it personally.

I’m sure it was a fun project though.

You can make a mesh mask out of hi-vis reflective material. So people can see you but anything that relies on shining light at you to get a clear picture will just blow out and be pure “white” to Its optics.

Your specific wording is telling it to make up an answer.

What “would” this word mean? Implying it doesn’t mean anything currently, so guess a meaning for it.

But yes, in general always assume they don’t know what they are saying, as they aren’t really capable of knowing. They do a really good job of mimicking knowledge, but they don’t actually know.

I just mean listing the source as “the CDC” currently isn’t disproving that it’s made up anymore.

It may be accurate, but not because it is from the CDC anymore.

Yeah, after deleting any data the CDC used to have that they didn’t agree with. And making up any new data they need to make their preconceived notion as perceivably supported as possible.

Yeah, why do famous actors always work for big companies, why can’t famous actors only ever work for small independent companies? Since in this binary world, if something isn’t perfectly 1, it might as well be 0. You shouldn’t have a single fault, or you are faulty. You should be able to walk through the mud without getting dirty.

Well, I suppose if they could appeal to anyone to enter the states right now, it would be people who ‘enjoy’ big risk gambling…

I used to, I am Austistic, so my mind does tend to wander.

I don’t know if I ever technically had actual insomnia, but I can very much forget that I should be sleeping. And before I learned about alarm fatigue and cleaned up my alarms to a degree that my brain wouldn’t reject, I would often end up staying up way past my sleep alarm going off.

But now I have a reasonably minimum amount of alarms only, and I am properly able to obey them without any resistance. When I get in bed, I start up my sleep music, specifically crafted to start at high energy and methodically wind down. By the end of the music I will have fallen asleep. They are all songs I have heard thousands of times, so it won’t trigger fomo and keep me awake to hear the rest or anything.

I do not touch my phone again until I wake up in the morning, I don’t have a morning alarm, as I don’t need to be awake at any specific time, so I “sleep until full health” like a videogame character, except honestly I think it works to a degree in real life too. I’m never sick, and my injuries heal faster than other people’s. My mind and body just have enough time to get done what they want to get done while everything is shut down.

I’m over 40 now, but still feel like a teenager.

So, an “AI Centipede” type situation.

Is it the sunbeam that drew the line, or the shadow? Like yeah, the light is technically the thing that was added, but the shadow is what created the pattern.

Does the ink draw the picture or the mask?
