Hypersensory Autism, in my case. But both are relatively common, so could be what it is in many peoples cases here. For me a shower is so much sensory input, I am basically forced introspective. Takes alot of willpower to keep awareness and move to the next thing on the checklist.

Unless the water at the bottom of your shower is several feet deep, the water pressure in a shower is gonna be nearly 0. You can leave the phone off most of the time, just have it there to jot something down. Ideally, you want it as unobtrusive as possible anyway since the whole point of thinking well in the shower is not having distractions.

Mine just sits there on the checklist 99% of the time, and I just made the checklist in the same notes app, so I don’t even have to leave the app to write stuff down.

So many suggestions for putting your phone near the shower but outside of it… phones are waterproof now. I just bring my phone with me in the shower now, and use my notes app to write down anything I don’t want to forget. I was already using it for a shower checklist, since I find it pretty hard to function in the shower. Also doubles as a way to consistently clean my phone, which is a nice plus, I likely wouldn’t remember to specifically clean it very often otherwise.

If your phone has a charge port plug, make sure to keep that in during the shower, if it doesn’t have a plug, keep the port oriented down, or you may have to wait a couple hours to be able to charge after. I’ve had my last couple phones in the shower hundreds of times now over the past 10 years, only had it happen twice where the charge port got too wet and had to dry before I could charge it, and neither time was when the battery was low enough for it to matter.

For some reason, they couldn’t find what a ‘member’ of Antifa looked like.

Peaceful protest is what is meant, instead of violent protest. Peaceful doesn’t mean doing nothing.

Giving random people the death penalty, for maybe or maybe not committing a crime that even if it turns out they were, doesn’t even qualify for the death penalty in either the country they are from or the country that is killing them… is so far beyond crazy… it shouldn’t have been able to happen once, let alone keep happening.

And if that wasn’t crazy enough, people that survive the strikes, can’t be legally brought in because the burden of proof isn’t met to even question them… but killing them is happening?

It’s just the hyperbole. It wouldn’t matter which specific word they used if it more closely matched the level of intensity of what actually happened.

In this instance, even a cliché, overused term like ‘jabs’ would be fine.

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.

Are guns working for the states?

Well, to be fair, I’m assuming a little French Revolution will be part of the current system burning down.

The only hope at this point is that it’s so broken by the end that no amount of “tweaking” the current plan/formula is worth doing. Would at least be nice if the light at the end of the tunnel is that a whole new modern way of life will be possible to rebuild from the ashes. Even without trump breaking it further, the current plan wasn’t going well, long term. It’s going worse now, but in an unsustainable way. The old plan would have taken much longer to get this much worse.

The worst part is, if the sign only said the instant death part, it would be a worse deterrent. Like, despite how funny it is to also have a fine, it’s a much more useful sign like this.

If they’re old enough to have kids that are old enough to not be kids, they’re not kids.

Yeah, they think we are lying when we say we don’t want to hurt them, even though we disagree with them. There is a reason they always think they are being threatened, cuz they would be threatening if they were in the same position, so they see our actions through that filter.

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.

Who’s got the odds on whether Trump knew that was a country before today, and if he could point to it on a map today?
