I hate and love this idea simultaneously. Thank you.


There is a standard, Sound Transmission Class [1]. STC-50 is generally considered to be a good level of sound isolation. I have no idea if houses are commonly constructed with a concern for this rating though.

"[...] false information and conspiracy theories, whose prevalence may lead people to doubt the very existence of 'truth' or a shared reality."

This is an insane modern take that I have yet to understand. Can anyone shed some light on how this notion of subjective truth came to be? There have always been conspiracy theorists and rumor spreaders and communities within which they flourished, and discerning the reputation of a source of information has always been a required skill in order to not fall victim to actors like these. What changed?


Laws against false political speech have been curtailed.

The former legal counsel for FOX argued internally that the First Amendment protected the network for spreading lies about election fraud even the employees privately thought there was no election fraud.

In other words, there are little repercussions for the blatant political lies and as a result people don’t know what to believe. I have a member of family who used horse dewormer on himself when he got Covid. He also was not vaccinated because he believed it would alter his DNA. I used to make fun of dumb hicks and now I realize I am part of a family of dumb hicks.


Are they serious? VRChat is already better than this in every way. Graphics quality, frame rate, full body tracking, face tracking, legs... Not to mention being able to make your own maps and avatars. I get that this for mobile platforms but VRChat also has Quest support that is better than this.


I can't think of reasons that this exist other than they might have fundamental, architectural, philosophical disagreement with VRChat that neither parties cannot tolerate but Facebook/Meta is on the losing side, like over real-name-real-face policy vs having none of it.


You don't think that there is room in the market for more players? Even as the player base review bombs VRC for invasive anti cheat/tampering?


VRChat is an amazing experience but it really does require a high-end gaming PC to run well. VRChat on Quest is a joke.

Going with a very conservative graphical quality seems like it gives a lot of advantages as well.

Oh, I miss Stormtroopers.


I think the demand represented by this meme [1] is one such example of a market waiting for cheaper art.

I can believe it. Accessing sequential data that's being prefetched into cache is astonishingly faster than following references.


My go-to method to strip formatting was Win+R, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+X (or C), Esc. This opens the run box, pastes the text (without formatting, because it's the run box), selects it, copies it, and closes the run box. It can be done quickly and entirely with the left hand.

Then I found this neat little program [1] that will paste without formatting for you with a single hotkey.

Another approach is to never context switch by running all programs in kernel mode and vetting them with an interpreter/JIT compiler: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/the-birth-and-death... (only half joking)


That is how the Singularity research OS works, except it's done by static verification in a compiler.
