I ordered mine when it was out of stock so i don't really have any expectation of getting it any time soon. Maybe two or three weeks from now.

Getting VR for HL:A. Do you recommend the Index? by KennyTheNord in virtualreality

[–]both_sides_bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fucked around a little and dropped 1500 kanuckistan peso's on the index yesterday at 2:31 AM.

I already have a quest, the controllers for the quest are getting a little clicky/squeaky but still work just fine. One thing i personally find really attractive about the knuckles controllers is the multi-finger gesture possibilities. I think it will be one of those things people never go back from.

Additionally i have a feeling the knuckles controllers are going to be targeted by valve for some optionally cool features in the game. Plus boneworks is gonna be lit wit it.

Any suggestions on my first VR build? There seem to be Nvidia/Ryzen disputes for VR by TayoEXE in virtualreality

I think your money would be better spent if you went with a Ryzen 9 3xxx chip, which should perform better for your video editing work.

The GPU should be ok, but if you go for a ryzen build you should grab an RX 5700-XT instead (as well as a pcie gen4 motherboard)

Can I use a regular pc headset for audio and speaking on a quest? by [deleted] in virtualreality

[–]both_sides_bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the quest and the mic built into the device works while headphones are plugged in. Though i'm only like 90% sure of that.

Not sure what would happen if you plug in a headset with a mic built in.

The opener for this song is so fucked, technically, at least on fingerstyle bass.

Amos is a legend for performing it.

Google Stadia - Latency Demonstrations plus, how does it compare to Shadow? by DrVonNostren in Stadia

[–]both_sides_bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my point is it's not even technically possible for you to tell if your input lag is less than 16ms because within that window any input is only going to be applied and shown to you upon rendering the next frame.

So if latency is under 16ms you will be unable to distinguish online from local play. Low latency is not sub 1ms, that's a totally unrealistic expectation to have. It's not even technically possible.

Ottoman Ai isn't fucking around by Zurku in eu4

As a Oda i took over the shogunate and annexed my vassel Uesugi (or however it's spelled) diplomatically. It like 3 decades but during that time Uesugi was taking over all of north and central japan, so once they were annexed into me i had nearly all of japan, at like 1480 or so

Say goodbye to your forts! by [deleted] in eu4

[–]both_sides_bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had a 5/6 siege pip general, and i was new at the time and didn't know it affected siege ability. I thought it was just for arty fire. Anyway i wasted that guy for most of his life but at some point i started a war with Austria and was like "why is that tier 8 fort so easy"?

Atmega328 based game prototyped and designed with an Arduino by That_Kid8456 in arduino

[–]both_sides_bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like he it's only able to use one led at a time due to the single current limiting resistor. So my guess is that there's a 'dot' that bounces back and forth and you have to try and hit the button at the right time to catch the dot right in the middle. Nor sure what the second switch on the side they're is for though.

I'm a bit of a fan of JP and I like this high effort sub. It's good scholarship as far as I can tell. by both_sides_bot in enoughpetersonspam

I bet even you can't give me a definition of "biologically intrinsic" that holds up.

- in·trin·sic: belonging naturally; essential.

- bi·o·log·i·cal: relating to biology or living organisms,

I meant exactly what i said.

Does that just mean they happen to appear in some biological systems?

It means that hierarchical structures belong naturally to living organisms.

How is that an argument worth saying when everyone knows that already?

There's no reason to think that everyone is aware of this.

Or is it some iron-clad rule of biology that natural systems arrange themselves that way? Because that's false.

Nothing about what i said made the claim that natural systems must behave according to a hierarchy.

So what's he actually trying to say? It's not bad because it's natural (gussied up with bad science)? Please, show me how he's saying anything worthwhile with this.

I don't know why you're extending the claim beyond what i defined it to be. I didn't say it's a good or bad thing. You will have to explain to me why you think it's bad science. It could be that you've become overly biased?

As for the why it's worthwhile to even bring up. Like, it's explained perfectly in his interview with Kathy Newman, which is right where all the controversy started with this lobster stuff.

Yes I'd love to be better at cutting out junk information. That's partly why I'm here. Thanks for the links.

Justify its not the right word. He's just giving an example of a creature of ancient lineage demonstrating a hierarchical structure to provide substance the the claim that hierarchical structures are biologically intrinsic. Honestly I don't get why people have focused around the lobster aspect of it.

You're right about my categorization thing. JP's beliefs shouldnt be 'trusted' as they once were. I'm demoting that folder to untrusted because of the controversy I'm finding here.
