Khronos Gears Up For A Busy GDC 2019 With Vulkan, OpenXR

Well, I would say "seems unlkely", to indicate that I'm speculating its probability to be low, rather than basing it on strong supporting facts.

So, I'm not exactly endorsing the phrase "probably unlikely" web-site just trying to share a bit of insight.

I also having this issue, please help me!

wouldn't just "unlikely" convey non-definitive nature?

Words have nuances. To me, the phrase "probably unlikely" conveys a sense of speculation about the unlikeliness of the event. It suggests he's guessing, rather than basing his projection on more definitive facts.

i have no issues with translation. i have issues with math. it is a multiplication of two probabilities (like "more than 50%" * "less than 50%"), so i wonder what is the result

Waiting for OpenXR 1.0 to use my Samsung Odyssey also on Linux.

Already possible, OpenHMD supports the WMR headsets on Linux (http://www.openhmd.net/index.php/devices/) together with SteamVR-OpenHMD thats a killer combo

It means something like "it has more than 50% of chance of not happen"

I'd say "it has more than 50% of change of being unlikely", or, in other words, something like "it's likely to be unlikely".

Likely.

This works in portuguese, don't know what is your native language.

It means something like "it has more than 50% of chance of not happen"

and what does "unlikely" mean then?

Small typo, I guess this is meant to be GDC 2019, if I understood correctly: "I wouldn't anticipate any ground-breaking Vulkan news out of GDC 2018"
