I was just about to write a comment stating that Quanta (and Nautilus as well) have amazing art in almost every article. One of the best visualisations I encounter.

I had similar problem few days ago. No threat for life but serious threat for my car - the route suggested was full of very deep holes. I've just tried to suggest a change, but as it happens ofte…

Funny, because I've seen just one talk in 2020 and it was that one :) I'm not too much into talks and conference stuff, mostly because almost all the time I find the subjects of talks comple…

Very cool. And it can be extended further by adding videos from exploring the website itself ;))

For me it's a quite distracting experience (the whole AR part, with glitches and lack of background). I think that well-done animation could be much better (and would't require more effort)

Sure, I completely agree. There are many fields where those technologies will be able to do great job. I just doubt the very big vision of "immersive revolution", as I think that most usages…

I don't think that "immersive experiences" are going to play huge part in our lives. The other side of "immersion" is escapism from the real world, which is the most complex R…

What a great potential fictional character: enlighted & unpractial, free & lost. I suppose the real enlighted wouldn't ask himself (who?!). Maybe that's why they usually stay aside. …

That's exactly my problem as well. I have GearVR headset which fits seversal Samsung smartphones and it's really nice to play around (and it's cheap), but the only piece of software wri…

> If you have a VR headset, I recommend playing around with showing different colors to either eye. Do you have any idea how to do this? I was trying to hack Three.js to enable binocular presentati…

The only solution to mentioned problems is IMO: we'll have to adapt our environment to the moving machines. At least in early stage, before they will do it autonomously. Language will adapt more …

No. For any meditation object one can have pleasant and unpleasant experiences.

I've been practicing meditation for several years now. The phenomenon described in the article is very obvious to every practitioner - it can happen that for some time you will feel worse (actual…

I have always one nostril blocked (not completely thought) and according to "Kundalini Tantra" book that I read it's usual state for most people. In the book it was connected to the act…

The worst thing ever is end-book-notes (or end-chapter ones) in a paper book. I have the habit of "precise reading", e.g. I usually read books from first to last page without skipping inform…

I'm not surprised. Since I've seen S. Altman talking in one of his videos about "things that you (the employer) can't tell to your employees" I completely don't trust tha…

Personally I measure happiness and fullness of life :)

Maybe developers stop learning because they realize that that to learn how to do the same thing with 167 technologies is not a real development. Maybe they realize (they should) that self-development …

What do you mean by "permutation-dependent"? I'm curious, because I write an article about permutations and I'd be happy to introduce some astrology :)

Tachyons' job. It had been taken to frontpage to get enough votes to appear on the frontpage. If you can see that from the out-of-time perspective, it makes sense. Edit: Sphere here.

Not sure if "idea", but the word that comes to my mind is "meditation".

This article is from 2013 and is not relevant anymore. Dozens of concepts useful even for writing desktop apps with PHP (I don't claim that it is the best choice) were presented in book "PHP…

I never use term "working for someone". I can work "with someone" as a part of the team. In my native language (Polish) "employer" could be literally translated as "…

Thank you! I will have a look :)

Thanks for answering :) I have never heard about Fasttext - I will take a look.

I wonder if there are any good sets of word vectors in languages other than English (I'm specifically interested in Polish). Same with any other language models and NLP related stuff. It's h…
