Would it be possible for someone to make some "night-time driving glasses" that are shutter LCD-type (3d TV glasses) and which synchronize to the duty cycle of any bright LED lights in the FOV and minimize the brightness to a certain threshold?
This is tangentially Rivian related, but does anyone else see the inherent danger of stylized tail lights that are just a single red bar across the back of the car?
Travelling on the freeway at night I can't really gauge the distance to the car in front of me if it's far ahead and if there's no discernable left and right brake lights. I'd believe Rivians and other cars like that are more at risk of high speed rear-end collisions.
One of the cool things I saw on BBSes back in the day - that I have yet to see replicated - was 'real time chat' in telechat, or being able to see what the other person is typing out as they enter it on their keyboard. It was captivating and made it really feel like an intimate conversation with another person. That could have just been the novelty of it all, as well... ICQ had a similar feature IIRC?.
How long do we need to wait until whatever patent encumberance that's keeping e-ink displays at these ridiculous prices expires and we can start to see affordable e-ink displays?
one variable to take into consideration that I hardly see mentioned, ever - legalization of marijuana in California and other states: there's been a few times on my commute to work where I drive through distinct smell cloud of someone's exhaled pot smoke, and this is in the morning! People might be thinking weed is 'ok' to use while driving and that it's better than alcohol or something...
There's one thing about this I don't see brought up - if someone says "add me, I'm janitor#0832" people usually know they're talking about Discord since that format is ubiquitous, and that's a very valuable thing. They're destroying that and moving for something like "add me, @janitor0832" - which then needs to be qualified (Twitter? Instagram?). Bing tried so hard to become a verb and Discord is discarding something they already have that's similar
This might date me but I'd love to see a resurgence of the Gopher protocol - maybe a touch more modernized, but still just plain text files with hyperlinks. Some sort of public-commons version of the overcommercialized web where advertising is very difficult but information is dense and discoverable.
I think a 3D version of scrabble would be fun, where you build the words using cubes in 3 dimensions instead of two. You could probably even do it non-digitally if you had magnetic cubes
I'd say they should avoid bloating CSS, keep Sass style and just use type='text/sass' or type='text/css-nested' in the style tag, but it seems that attribute is depreciated... why is that?
Not an expert on this, but I get the feeling they're trying to dissuade people from discovering videos with lower view counts in search results, since these videos are less likely to be cached at the CDN nodes and are more expensive to serve, i.e. budget cuts, like everything else
Do newer LED headlights even have a duty cycle?
