I hope we learn what shortcoming of these headsets is causing this.
Some possibilities:
Inaccurate color in passthrough
Too low or unstable framerate
Vergence-accommodation conflict
Lag in passthrough
Lag in virtual object placement as the headset moves

Most of these just require slightly better hardware, but If it’s v-a conflict, that’s going to take a while to fix

We’ll all benefit if a varifocal headset eliminates this conflict, but it’s a difficult problem to solve. Unfortunately, the people who are working on this are at Meta.

“Federal Reserve officials do not set interest rates with presidential elections in mind. In fact, the central bank is independent of the White House and, as the Fed chair, Jerome H. Powell, has said repeatedly, the institution takes that independence seriously.”

“But the growing likelihood that the Fed might begin to cut rates this year could provide an election-year assist to President Biden

And why this is bad news for biden

Cutting rates to goose the economy. So, the economy is slowing? Or they’re just trying to balance the economic indicators they rely on to judge how the economy is doing.

The economy is doing well, but interest rates are still on the historically low end of the spectrum, despite solid economic growth, low unemployment, and solid wage growth, and low inflation.

However, if, as it appears, inflation has hit the Fed’s goal of 2% core PCE, the Fed can cut rates now to head off a possible future downturn. It takes awhile for a Fed action to work its way through the economy anyway.

Powell’s trying to thread the Goldilocks of economic growth and low inflation. The Fed’s done a better job of this than any other central bank, and the US leads other countries on recovering from the pandemic economic crisis. If the Fed lowers rates, that will most benefit home sales and durable goods, and all that flows from those major life event transactions.

And maybe the sane people at the Fed actually think that high interest rates hurt lower income people and don’t want to keep them there if they don’t have to. When you hit the brake to slow down, you don’t keep holding onto it when you reach your new speed.

Edit: in the opposite direction, you back off the accelerator when you reach the speed you want to get to.

re: #21 Belafon

You are correct, and I should have worded it as vision not eye.

So many things are happening in a brain. It has to process more data then it can handle. There are lots of kinds of neurons. This I learned about post-head injury:

Neurons come in two main “flavors,” excitatory and inhibitory. When an excitatory neuron receives enough input from other excitatory neurons, it fires, passing that signal along its axon to partners downstream. Inhibitory neurons usually tell other neurons not to fire.

Hormones may be involved here.

Look at the cat’s eye. It is a way more powerful organ in a lot of ways, compared to ours. Then look how small their brains are. And they need to process a whole lot more data from the eyes, ears, and especially the nose of the cat. Must be a whole lot of inhibition going on. (Cats follow movement readily, and can’t see a still object so fast.)

I have seen nothing from either Judge Engoron or the DC Court of Appeals. The latter is especially noteworthy, as I was told yesterday that they usually issue opinions at around 10:00 AM Eastern Time. That’s hours ago now, and I would’ve expected an update from the usual suspects if they had nothing to say.

The FBI violated the constitutional rights of wealthy Beverly Hills residents when it seized safe deposit boxes during a raid on a business accused of money laundering, a court has found.

Agents took around $86 million in cash along with expensive items like Cartier bracelets, Rolex watches and gold bars from around 1,400 boxes when they stormed US Private Vaults in March 2021.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the brazen search violated the Fourth Amendment rights of the customers because the FBI didn’t have individual warrants to take the personal belongings in each box.

Biden is winning in every age category (under 50% and barely for under 35-64, but trouncing Trump in other categories). Winning amongst independents.

Trump is winning with Hispanics though, and Trump has higher than expected African American support (17%).

I’m really though waiting to see:

52% in Pennsylvania
51% in Georgia
51% in Nevada
51% in Arizona
52% in Michigan
52% in New Hampshire
51% in Virginia

I’m also waiting to see 48% in Texas just to see Republicans focus their resources there, and because it might help downballot races. (Unless Texas is more gerrymandered than I thought.)

Dunno if this has been posted. It’s basically how state prisons are basically enslaving prisoners. Yeah, the 13th Amendment allows it, but it’s abusive IMO. I knew about the Hickman egg ptoducers issue here in AZ, but it is EVERYWHERE.

Prisoners in the US are part of a hidden workforce linked to hundreds of popular food brands

ANGOLA, La. (AP) — A hidden path to America’s dinner tables begins here, at an unlikely source - a former Southern slave plantation that is now the country’s largest maximum-security prison.

Unmarked trucks packed with prison-raised cattle roll out of the Louisiana State Penitentiary, where men are sentenced to hard labor and forced to work, for pennies an hour or sometimes nothing at all. After rumbling down a country road to an auction house, the cows are bought by a local rancher and then followed by The Associated Press another 600 miles to a Texas slaughterhouse that feeds into the supply chains of giants like McDonald’s, Walmart and Cargill.

Intricate, invisible webs, just like this one, link some of the world’s largest food companies and most popular brands to jobs performed by U.S. prisoners nationwide, according to a sweeping two-year AP investigation into prison labor that tied hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of agricultural products to goods sold on the open market.

Actually, had this talk with one of my daughters a couple of weeks ago. For some reason I mentioned listening to the radio as a young teenager in the mid-70’s and the Saturday evening radio show was called Padre’s Platters. A local priest would take requests and play the “oldies” from the 60’s. It dawned on me during the discussion that a similar timeframe now would be music from the 10’s.

And, yes, Padre’s Platters in hindsight was as bizarre as it sounds including the priest occasionally counseling on air callers.

In a video obtained by Rolling Stone, Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) declared on Tuesday: “Congress doesn’t have to do anything to secure our southern border and fix it.”

Said Nehls: “Why would I help Joe Biden approve his dismal 33% approval rating when he can fix the border and secure it on his own? He can secure it on his own through executive order.”

While waving around a cigar outside of the Capitol, he went on to cite Donald Trump’s slew of executive orders addressing immigration, many of which were ultimately found to be unconstitutional.

aside from being an all around asshat:

A new Quinnipiac poll finds Joe Biden leads Donald Trump nationally by 50% to 44% among registered voters in a hypothetical general election matchup.

Key finding: Women support Biden, 58 % to 36%, up from December when it was 53% to 41%.

Said pollster Tim Malloy: “The gender demographic tells a story to keep an eye on. Propelled by female voters in just the past few weeks, the head-to-head tie with Trump morphs into a modest lead for Biden.”

re: #142 steve_davis

like many here, my grandparents go back to a time when my dad’s grandfather—postmaster at the time—occasionally had to deliver Wyoming County mail by horse and buggy when the backroads were too snowed in for those new-fangled motor contraptions. (and no, wyoming county is not in Wyoming, ironically enough). My grandmother fondly remembered her younger brother, my Uncle Ed, riding a horse to school when it snowed, and yes, schools were still equipped for kids who came by horseback (I think his graduation class numbered six kids, though he wasn’t there because he was a fucking genius who went off to become an electrical engineer when he was sixteen).

My grandparents homesteaded in 1917 near Choteau Montana. There was a Post Office in the town of Breeston on the map for a short while — which consisted of their ranch, granted Post Office status so my grandfather could pick up his neighbors’ mail for them.

Let me explain what is actually going on with these hucksters, frauds, charlatans, and grifters on the right. They don’t believe it. They hope you might believe it. They are nihilists who don’t care about the outcome or consequences of their lies.

Many of the same Swift/Kelce conspiracists were PizzaGate conspiracists — fine when others caused harm. They care about their clout and buzz and how viral they can be online.
It is not a coincidence that many of them are “social media influencers” or “social media experts.” They want to show donors and political campaigns how they can make things viral and generate buzz. They don’t care that you’re mocking them. They don’t show that. They show how they trended. They show how they made a topic go viral. Damn the consequences.

They performatively hump Donald Trump’s leg and they don’t really even care about him. They’re only with him because, again, it helps their clout and gets them links, tweets, and clicks. They’ve concocted a conspiracy about the most popular woman on the planet and the most popular sport in America and are fine to turn people against both and have it all tied to Trump because they don’t care about him.

They care about money and the grift, the consequences be damned.

Also, they are hyper-online. Their entire identities and personas are online. They haven’t touched grass in eons. They have confused the online for reality. They are also deeply unserious people who know they’d be nothing if they turned their computers off and entered the real world.

BREAKING: Tesla did a whoopsie at their Fremont factory and polluted a bunch of water (pretty bad) and they can’t keep it contained to their property. Levels of major pollutants massively over what’s legal. Huge mess, no surprise.

Considering that GM and Toyota ran what used to be the NUMMI plant for over 25 years (and GM alone ran it as Fremont Assembly for a couple of decades before that, gaining a reputation as one of GM’s worst plants) before Tesla bought it, this says a lot on either Tesla’s incompetence or criminal indifference (or both).

Tesla, between the period of December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2022, generated $223,183,561.64 in revenue every day.

Too many of our prison systems are the modern day replacement for slavery. These prisons encourage law enforcement and the judicial system to create crimes out of whole cloth to supply prisoners for the state to profit from. Our penal system is wired for retribution, punishment and extracting wealth, not rehabilitation. What exposes how unjust these practices are is that many of the same prisoners are unable to find jobs once they have done their time and have been released.

Nobody wants to hire them at a good paying job because of their record, leaving them likely to re-offend and make another pass through the prison slave labor system.

I watched a show about legalizing weed once. During the show they talked to a sheriff in Mississippi about legalization. He was dead set against it because he was concerned about losing state and federal $$ for housing prisoners and he was concerned about who would do the work around the jail.

Trump couldnt/didn’t close the border
Many of his EOs were reversed by the courts
I believe it was scotus who said congress needs to do it, then its legal (more or less)
Now there’s this deal, instigated by the Rs , cause of ukraine, Israel and all.
That probably could do lots of good.
That everyone knows they’re tanking for craven political reasons. (that won’t help)

Most everyone knows all of this
 (of folks currently paying attention)

So when they say stupid, idiotic nonsense like this
I know they all know exactly what they’re saying
I know they’re not stupid
But boy do they sound stupid

Same with the Biden impeachment (remember that?)
And Mayorkas
And hunter Biden

It ain’t working. None of it.

Erick, Son of Erick, ought to take it a step further and make the connection between internet ‘influencers’ in it for the grift and the Christians who have done the same thing for decades. They are all people who couldn’t hold a job collecting shopping carts at a store but are fully capable of fleecing rubes out of their money so they don’t have to actually go work for a living. Too often religion is detrimental to a peaceful, just society because their fundraising and jobs depend on keeping the rubes under their influence.
