You’re still perfectly visible in shadows and reflections. Anyone who catches you in a mirror will see you completely naked.
Ambient light occlusion counts too, the area covered by your feet looks perfectly black.

Is that a term people use to describe eating in real life? Not just Minecraft?

The ice created has an index of refraction of 1 and extremely low surface reflectivity. It is almost impossible to see and can appear anywhere within 5 meters of you.

Implying he isn’t right wing anymore, or just not openly?
I agree with most of the stuff he says, he just doesn’t seem very nuanced and I find the angry tone slightly off-putting. I like NJB tho, probably because he’s just sarcastic at some points for effect.

It’s for transferring pictures over the wifi network or a local wifi network that the camera is hosting. If you have the SD card plugged in, there’s absolutely no reason to use the app instead of your phone’s file manager.

There’s not really anything you need the app for. It can remote control the camera with a live feed, which is cool but not all that useful, at least for me. It can also transfer images and videos, but I’m not sure it does the videos at full resolution, at least in my camera. For all practical purposes it’s just a little less useful than carrying a USB C SD card reader around with your camera that you can plug into your phone (because it also takes a good minute to connect usually, but my only datapoint is a camera from 2014 so they might have improved it since then)

Yeah, it’s probably not something I would have chosen if I had the option but I don’t really care about the curved screen.

Yea, I got the op 12 because it was just $50 more than the r on Amazon at the time.
It’s definitely powerful enough but I’m slightly disappointed by the software, arcore is just completely broken, and hdr is fairly spotty (works in yt app and photos app but doesn’t work in chrome or Google photos)

I would get discord, youtube, lemmy, and reddit
I try to avoid new platforms tho bc I don’t trust myself not to get addicted and social media already takes up too much of my time
- Comment on memes from my biology class #6 2 weeks ago:
I only see them like once a month or less when it’s spring or winter, and I’ve never seen one inside. I didn’t know they were that fragile, but the ones I see are probably too fast for me to catch lol

In the mid south US, i’ve never seen someone dislike lizards
I also don’t see them that often, especially in winter or spring
although there was one day I was in this courtyard for half an hour where I saw like 12 little skinks

I was thinking about this a bit yesterday and I think the most feasible way would be to suspend a glass sheet above the lake, and then give people harnesses with magnets on the top that attach to magnets on the other side of the glass sheet. Then just put ball bearings on both sides to reduce friction.
- Comment on Horror 1 month ago:
You could try to use magnetism or something tho, although that means you’d only be able to walk on specially prepared lakes

Unless there’s force coming from somewhere other than buoyancy, you can’t get better than than 1.29 kg per cubic meter of lift in air at stp.
- Comment on Horror 1 month ago:
Well, air weighs a little bit more than 1 kilogram per cubic meter, and those balloons look a little bit smaller than a cubic meter
- Comment on Horror 1 month ago:
The theoretical best lift from a balloon that size is about 1 kg I would estimate
- Comment on Horror 1 month ago:
Well, if we used a pure vacuum, you’d only get about 17% more efficiency than just using helium I think
I don’t know if they had helium when this was made tho, they might have been thinking more hot-air-balloon style
- Comment on Horror 1 month ago:
Any amount of water contact introduces a fair amount of drag. There may be an ideal point somewhere in the middle, but I think if you take this to it’s natural conclusion you get a zeppelin.
I did a little bit of math and I think that to lift the payload capacity (including fuel and crew) of a modern day Panama canal ship you would need about a tenth of the peak U.S. helium reserve (a cube about half a kilometer long on each edge, about 1.3x longer than the long dimension of the ship)
I don’t think you’d get the best fuel efficiency going upwind lol
Anything smaller would come with proportionally less downsides and at least proportionally less benefits. I doubt it could ever be a net positive in any useful metric.

Degrees of freedom
3dof things usually just track rotation, because that’s easier. But for a full VR experience, better depth perception, and more normal interactions, 6fof is used which tracks position as well.
- Comment on Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today 2 months ago:
IMO even a normal flatscreen is more immersive on average than a google cardboard, although that’s partially because a flatscreen hides the flaws in the graphics a lot better.
HLA tho needs 6dof controllers for the intended experience. That mod tries to get around it, but that obviously involves some sacrifices.
- Comment on Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today 2 months ago:
IIRC no cardboard ‘headset’ ever had 6dof tracking. It’s about as far as you can get from an immersive VR experience. I say this as someone who bought one before learning about VR and getting a real vr headset.
It’s like VR with all of the downsides, even less apps, and the only advantage over a flatscreen being (limited) depth perception.
