That sounds interesting, would you mind sharing where would you point me if I wanted to follow up with latest research?
Something like arxiv but for psychology? Unless it' only in the magazines ("Psychology today")? I'd be happy to hear the magazines names too, if you'd be so keen to share.
>let me know if you'd like an invite.
I'd like one :) Tried googling you as per profile to msg, but most of your social profiles are under verification before communication, so I'd ask here too, how could you send me an invite?
I saw in the summary that you planned to open source it, do you still think you'll do it? I was thinking to build one for self (e-ink + battery powered so can move it around), and trying to avoid reinventing the wheel
Does this script work for you? I installed in FF and tried on 3 sample links and none of them produced the extra link :/ Icon in Greasemonkey shows that scripts recognized URL and was running on each site
There are some good news on this front. Recently, ByteDance (owner of TikTok) acquired Pico, Chinese Occulus-style headset. I have their hardware and it's not on the same level as Quest - yet - but getting close. They also have a couple of great solution that Quest was lacking: balancer in the back, eye tracking in newer headsets. I hope now that they have bigger cash stacks, they can spearhead a competition race.
(it also makes sense, as Quest doesn't work in CN due to blocked FB)
Anectodal data point, if that helps, tested with 3 people
I own Quest and DJI FPV system (not the drone from the link, but custom built with DJI FPV googles)
- I can get dizzy in VR, but I won't in FPV unless I do a lot of crazy movement like spinning for a couple of seconds. Even when crashing which involves a lot of spin, it's fine
- If I watch FPV while someone else is flying, I feel dizzy. It's not as fast as in VR, but still can happen
Friends who tried had the same feeling.
There's something in the connection between visual movement and your control of that movement via stick that helps alleviate dizzines.
Could you link to a source about that dsp being specifically used for hand-tracking? My quick google didn't found a result that could confirm that and it would explain a bit. Thank you!
"Another thing they got right was urban planning. Communist built residential areas had all amenities within walking distance."
Interestingly, what I noticed if you look at current high rise developments in Asia (China, Malaysia, Singapoure), they design something similiar (albeit commercial). The ground floors of the 20+ building will be a 2-3 floors of commercial space, hosting a shopping mall, cinema, gym and a bunch of other places. You can go down and do your grocery shopping in pyjamas.
If that could include mandatory social places (school, kindergarden), you'd end up with similar zones like what you are describing.
:) I would like to clarify that I didn't pursue using it for learning, so that's why. I believe the app was probably worth time investment if that's what you are looking for.
The article sounds like an ad, and 2 out of 3 games listed doesn't sound like anything new.
That being said, I think what is being said is that these 3 mechanics in the games are particulary suited to improve your brain activities.
The 3rd game is reimplementation of one of the games that is proved to improve your cognitive abilities - and I'm sorry, I cannot remember the name - which was about forcing your brain to work on disonnanced tasks.
I've skimmed the description of the repo and it does look unrelated. The paper uses depth information while the repo is focused on color balance. The paper mentions this is inaccurate way of fixing the colors as the color information changes with distance too.
We have the same experience, our rating while in Asia was around solid 4.6 while after 3 months in Europe went up to 4.85. Our guess is that in EU, people tend to either give 5 stars or no rating, while in Asia if we had a bit worse ride, we and people around us had no hesistation of leaving 3 or 4 star review.
I have similar experience as other commenters, tried TikTok, found it very boring and silly. But then I tried the original, Chinese version (Douyin) and the quality of the content there is so much better than TikTok.
You can actually see a lot of gifs right now on reddit being taken straight from Douyin because that's where cool/fun stuff is being created.
To compare with Vine - by not having time limit, I was able to see the 30sec video of how too cook one of the Chinese dishes, or 1 minute video of a metal welder creating one of his metal sculptures.
It's extremly addictive I think, because content might be realy short or quite-but-not-too long.
I'm trying to say in a roundabout way that Douyin content is miles ahead of TikTok content. I haven't seen too much of the TikTok's girls seeking attention content issue.
I agree but for that to work you would have to first ensure that everyone is reporting their income accurately. I believe that right now there is still a lot of grey zone and until that phase is sorted, the Tagessatz wouldn't work. That's why the temporary solution of banning people makes sense to me.
I kind of agree with a harsh, strict punishment for the "crime" like this in country where train travel is abundant and often very crowded. There are many people who would be willing to pay the fine on top of the price of the standing ticket (the sitting ones are sometimes very very, very hard to get), while not being able to use trains again would definitely stop people from having an attitude of "I have money and you cannot do anything to me"
I really like theirs newsletter, helps me to notice interesting topics I have missed and over the time highlights books that appear as recommended. That's how I finally started reading "Why we sleep", which I thought will be boring but is very entertaining.
If you have nerves to see it, the video of him losing the grip and falling is available online (sorry, I won't link here) and it's nerve-wracking terrible. How he struggles to climb back, just to let go... I only saw it because I didn't know at that time that he fell to his death.
From personal (anecdotal) experience, after videos of the person from huckmagazine went viral - Shangai Tower, Hong Kong - a lot of Chinese started to do the same, plainly risking their lives to be cool.
I'm not sure what I'm trying to say, maybe that it's all awesome until someone dies.
