Because design ought to converge on some perfection, not change for change’s sake.

Agreed. I have some technical understanding of SLC’s advantages, but why would I choose it over QLC? My file system has checksums on data and metadata, my backup strategy is solid, my SSD is powered most days, and before it dies I’ll probably upgrade my computer for other reasons.

“ns” shouldn’t be capitalised, it’s quite confusing.

> optically transparent coatings that cycle from 300 to 1K repeatedly and acrylic that has a metal's thermal conductivity

I believe that still wouldn’t work because optical part of the spectrum carries thermal energy too.


I know a couple of quantum software engineers and these people are in universities writing novel algorithms on whiteboards (and sometimes testing them out in QuPy).

As I understand it Quantum algorithms are very much needed as the hardware improves. The hardware gets shown off, but there aren't a lot of algorithms that can take advantage of it if it worked better. Yet.

As I understand it, the hardware very much lags behind the algorithms. We have plenty of cool algorithms to run on quantum computers, but to be practically interesting they all need more qubits or better coherence times than is available today.

Simply rotate your monitor. /j

Why would you need world lock rendering on a 640x350 monochrome display? It’s a personal dashboard, not a “spatial computer”.

maps, but also being able to move your head so that you can see past the thing on the screen is useful.

For people who are prone to motion sickness, its also really useful to have it tied to the global frame. (I don't have that, fortunately)


> being able to move your head so that you can see past the thing on the screen is useful

Afaiu, the dashboard is positioned above you, so you have to tilt your head up to see it and it shouldn’t obstruct anything important in regular life.


Would that attract your attention? I see people with nystagmus often enough to not care.

It would. I don't know if you mean people reading phone screens or on drugs or what, but I rarely ever see it outside clinical settings.

> if you mean people reading phone screens or on drugs or what

Nope, just people in my regular life, colleagues, etc. having that little twitch in their eyes.


Isn’t AI everywhere nowadays? I won’t be surprised if there’re AI toasters and fridges.

These particular classes don’t have a camera.
