nice


see other comment on this thread. v2 soon :) will also repost with FOSS tutorial since i didn't realize rules of show hn. my apologies /gen


working on v2.0!! realizing how it comes across now. Oculus link does not allow for recording & we have a shitty mp4 in a google drive of it working thru a phone camera. Left this out because there wasn't time to compile. Just pasted everything into the medium blog. Rather than re-write, since we all flew home & separated the parts, I'm working on a souped up version w/ friends. We're designing a new pcb in kicad & just want to get something cleaner out. Happy to email an actual video though if you care to see the blurry pov


There's a brutal difference between a few nerds saying they have the coolest demo, and actually shipping it as something. It's a lesson we all go through, but the marketing and "release" of an idea is an important skill to perfect.


sorry, did not realize


Hi Gwern, I'm honestly not sure. I have some firefox extension that skips trackers and other redirects. I have like 100 firefox extensions, actually. I'm not sure how most of them work nor what they do exactly, I just trust that they make my browser more "secure" and I tend to download things at random -- especially if I see ads or want certain features in my client (i.e. a browser that auto-rejects cookies).

Happy to try and help you figure this out but when I revisit this specific hyperlink I'm still getting the gwern url & not arxiv


Hm. So you're getting the raw URL but you don't have NoScript / block JS specifically? Can you check in an incognito window and if it still happens, ablate all your extensions in a fresh profile (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-...), which is something you might want to keep handy if you really have 100 extensions running and no idea what they all do...


which?



such as?


Sex, sex-adjacent activities, extreme sports, van life / nomadic lifestyle are examples for which I know people who have either lost a job or experienced retaliation in a professional environment.

They are also all experiencing pressure to be criminalized and in certain places are already criminalized or otherwise regulated in a way that is harmful to individual liberty for a perceived gain in safety.

Lastly, I’ll add that cost of insurance, general ability to be insured, and the litigious nature of the USA apply a great deal of pressure to limit our ability to enrich our lives with risk.


there's a few cool groups working on this, specifically for academics & ambitious young people as the beginning market. https://www.livetheresidency.com/

:)


That's cool. Would love to see something like this for people that aren't ambitious geniuses though... like myself ;)


I dont understand the residency thing at all


?


the author of the linked article is an inhumane idiot is what I'm saying


the ear is a lucky shot, and survivors of assassination attempts get a boost

but this just conjecture
