I'm assuming every video as 30fps and counting each frame as a table (Completely ignoring B and P frames), and taking 6 different resolutions per video,
There's nearly 336 Billion tables being uploaded to youtube in one day alone.But it still takes more than 400 Million years for it to come close to chairs with youtube alone.

It’s kind of a specialized audience. Most of us don’t have any influence on anyone in power anyway, so our policy discussions are pretty much just entertainment.
But we still discuss because if's fun, in a way. :)
Looking to the past i feel a similar-ish thing could be the industrial revolution, i definitely don't think it will be the same scale, but it changed many things about living standards and way of life.
Back then diseases spread and new theories were founded. Maybe with the problems that will be created by AI we will develop new theories about mental problems?
At it's current state of regurgitating information i feel governments can make good policies for them, But if a new technology is developed (or this one develops into one) that can create new ideas, can have creativity and thinking closer to how our brains work, we'd need newer policies.

Having a article not give any conclusions or news feels out of the norm for me, but it feels like how conversations sometimes go, just throwing whatever we think out there.
Maybe one of the things we say has an effect on someone, creates a new thought, a new question, but maybe it doesn't, and that's not a problem.One sentence stood out for me through this article
It’s fair to say we’re in uncharted technological territory, but that is also a truism. Where else would we be?
I don't know why, but my brain had a take on this : "Of course it's uncharted territory, of course it's unprecedented times, life's not a repeat of the past, time marches on and we enter new territory constantly, old tactics may work or they may not, things change."

I'd be grateful if someone can explain it to me.

So much accurate(ish) tracking using cameras, rendering high fidelity high refresh rate images, communicating wirelessly to controllers (and computers!)
And having it at a state where developers just plug in a sdk and everything just works? Marvelous!
And having the ability to be standalone is just the icing on the cake. -

I chose a song i had heard a while ago that i had imagined a cool fight scene with, learned ChroMapper and mapped out a draft within three days.
Then i went ahead and tried to understand how old (pre Vivify) maps made environments and effects, which then i found Swifter1243's ReMapper. I also found he's put up the source for his You map!
I spent a long while looking through the map and understanding how things were done, how the ReMapper code functions and how the Unity project is structured to work with Vivify.
I then started working on getting a simple blockout of the scenes i want into the map, i followed the ReMapper instructions, fixed all dependency issues i ran into, did a simple load prefab call in the beginning of the level and... nothing.
I spent the last two days trying everything i can to get it to work and finally today i look at Vivify's documentation and saw a note saying i need to add the mod as a requirement in the map info file.
So now i've lost a bit of the motivation that i had (I actually lost a lot of motivation when i saw that apparently Vivify doesn't support Unity animations and i have to do the animations i want in code instead of visually with a timeline) so i'm sitting here contemplating the map instead of working on it.
Hopefully i can atleast get the lighting to how i want it, cause even looked a bit finicky ingame, this whole thing is hard, and i'm gonna go at it as long as i can.

Maybe some day when you have free time you can give repairing the phone a go? follow a tutorial to minimize risks of breaking stuff (You can also use a hair dryer instead of a heating bed, just heat it as evenly as you can, and heat it up a lot).
Or find a repair shop? It's still a good phone, and Custom Roms can give it a fresh breath of life. -

I'm currently using a Poco X4 Pro and i when the time of boredom came i didn't feel like installing another Rom, so i'm using my phone upside down now. No camera notch on top, hidden gesture pill on bottom (I barely ever use the front camera).
Doing this made it feel like a new phone, feels like more screen real-estate, and has satisfied that itch for now -

When i look up most things about studying to be a nurse on reddit, i see people recommending it if you have a drive, love to help people, are good at seeing small details, etc.
My interests are more computer and art related, i'm not sure if i would be able to get to doing any personal projects meaningfully if i'm constantly as tired as i get as a student.
So i wonder, why ED? What are your shifts like? And how much energy do you have left afterwards at home?
I don't have a drive, and going to different departments each semester in educational hospitals just feels like work, and is quite tiring.
I find myself having trouble talking to patients and more sad about my performance than i find myself caring internally for the patients needs, i know this will improve by experience, but it's a tad worrying for me. -

The hardware which is available and will be available this year is extremely cool, and i'm personally hoping AndroidXR can be easily ported so we get a increase in low-end and mid-range headsets (that wont get easily abandoned) (probably wont happen but i can dream :) )I actually haven't tried Gravity Sketch yet! it slipped from my mind long ago, same with trying out Substance 3D Modeler, just kinda forgot about them...
I have used OpenBrush and had those moments of zen making environments and models! but it's rare, i tend to stick more to games.
I'm mostly looking for something like ZBrush in VR since that's the workflow i'm comfortable with.How often do you use VR? sometimes i even turn on Kayak VR Mirage, go to a random place, open my monitor and study next to a waterfall & some fishies
Do you use VR standalone or tethered? -

The quest is one of the safest choices you have for vr, you need no separate computer, if you do buy second hand just look out for damage to the lenses, any scratch can be a big deal because the lens will cover your eyes entire fov
Jeez all above sounds like the normal costumer support advice i see on reddit, they're all absolutely right but i thought i could still write it out with a different style.. guess not
But one thing i can say is, if money is a concern, after buying the headset you can kinda easily enable developer mode and then install apk files (yes the quest is android based) onto it, and finding games for it (even paid ones) for free is possible with a little bit of searching on reddit for guides
As for a list of seated games, i can kinda say all can be done seated, even lying down without too much tinkering, most non-exercise games have joystick rotation and movement, with just hands needed for shooting/throwing/punching/interacting etc, so try to experiment with different styles and see what suits your partner, story games (AC nexus and Batman come to mind for 10-12hour stories) online social spaces games (vrchat) exploration (wooorld and such) even some sports games (all in one sports)
Maybe even some movement based ones are possible? Beatsaber definitely is (with walls disabled), Audio trip and Synth riders too, maybe even Pistol Whip can be done by dodging with movement from lower back only?
If really unsure, you could look on youtube for some vr games, see if he would like to try it, then just give it a go, its a big ecosystem and the headset has good resell value
The drops, the sounds, Teminite and Boom Kitty create music with a energy i've seen so little of.
I'm glad Beatsaber works with them, they're awesome official levels.
