There’s a Chinese AI glasses brands (Solos) that integrates with ChatGPT and I’m wondering if simply being paired with a better AI model will make it significantly more useful. One thing Meta seems to be completely ignoring up until now is Asians and Asian markets (lack of low bridge fit models, lack of translation features for any Asian languages despite ChatGPT being state of the art at it).

I mean that a human is ready to jump in at any point an "exception" happens.

Example: During parking, which I witness daily in my building, it happens all the time.

1. Car gets stuck trying to park, blocking either the garage or a whole SF street 2. A human intervenes, either in person (most often) or seemingly remotely, to get the car unstuck.

> the processor, which is a glorified, hardware implemented PDP-11 emulator.

This specific seems like just gratuitously rewriting history.

I can get how you'd feel C (and certain dialects of C++) are "closer to the metal" in a certain sense: C supports very few abstractions and with fewer abstractions, there are less "things" between you and "the metal". But this is as far as it goes. C does not represent - by any stretch of imagination - an accurate computational model or a memory of a modern CPU. It does stay close to PDP-11, but calling modern CPUs "glorified hardware emulators of PDP-11" is just preposterous.

PDP-11 was an in-order CISC processor with no virtual memory, cache hierarchy, branch prediction, symmetric multiprocessing and SIMD instruction. Some modern CPUs (namely the x86/x64 family of CPUs) do emulate a CISC ISA on that is probably more RISC-like, but that's as far we can say they are trying to behave like a PDP-11 (even though the intention was to behave like a first-gen Intel Pentium).

No one said get rid of markets, just tune markets where profit motive is not what it is now.

...

It's the same PRC that killed the landlords and then a bunch of peasants to force transition from subsistent agrarian society to an industrialized one, just post GLF, i.e. IMF noted that PRC in 70s (shortly after GLF) was significantly more industrialized than developing peers who started around same condition.

It's the same China where rich Chinese want LIO passport BECAUSE they know LIO democracies are so corrupt and captured by money that their black money is safe. Which is more indictment of western sclerosis, because they don't believe west can do the hard things to fix current economic model.

Whether you think current model is broken / needs fixing is up for debate, but fixing hard problems on short timelines, i.e. drastic change may require breaking eggs aka violence. That's the objective lesson when one examines past 100 years into illustrative history. Violence (revolution, wars, state collapse) break entrenched/sclerosis systems that build up on century cycles (rough heuristic).

It's the same pattern that China and other older countries (including western ones that are now LIO), who has gone through these cycles have learned and that young US will likely eventually also learn. You break systems (and markets) with violence and then rebuild it, hopefully better than you started. But sometimes not. But at some point the only feasible fix, is pitchforks.

> minimize

Countries don’t actually minimize anything largely due to diminishing returns. Hell the US has lost many nuclear weapons, that’s the kind of thing that seems like it should be a much larger priority but all budgets end up being finite.

> a plant that would provide power 24/7

Solar + batteries provide more electricity in CA than nuclear for roughly 16 hours a day. Midnight to 5AM demand is so low they are actually charging grid batteries, something that could be cheaply time shifted to daytime solar if demand actually increased. New nuclear just doesn’t fit especially if it’s taking 4+ years to build.

It's a big deal when it's targeted. It basically means that "you may be in the next 0.3%":

> One campus graduate student, who received the message and was provided anonymity due to fears of retaliation, claimed the release targeted Muslim and Arab individuals who had previously expressed support for Palestine.

> If you want a large printer that's decent for tinkering, Sovol SV08.

I disagree about Sovol the company though. I have a Sovol SV07 in the garage gathering dust. Its printer head got all clogged up and when I complained to them, they just sent me a random part with no information on what to do with it. I guess I could get into the tinkering mode, but who has the time?

I'd just love to have a sub-$1000 printer which prints whenever I have something to print (which is not too often, I concede), and does a fantastic job of it.

This doesn't address everything, but I thought I'd chime on specifically on the chat history question. It's still early days for support from most IRCd's, but IRCv3 has been slowly bringing protocol level support for many of the same features that Slack, Teams (chat), Mattermost, etc. have, including chat history support. It's likely not reasonable for the public IRC networks to ever support history, but for a self hosted IRC server to service your team/company/community/whatever, it would be totally feasible to connect and receive scrollback.

> but i wouldn't consider a leader who operated concentration camps to be leftist by any stretch.

I consider myself a leftist, but it's a bit naive to think that "this bad, horrible thing" must be associated only with right-leaning ideology. Leftists can do bad, horrible things just as much as right-wing folks can. "Putting people in concentration camps" isn't a right-wing or left-wing thing, it's a totalitarian/anti-human-rights thing. We can argue that, as of late, right-wing people seem to have more of an appetite for that sort of thing, and I'd probably agree, but that doesn't make concentration camps a "right-wing thing".

I would absolutely consider FDR to be one of the most (if not the most) leftist presidents the US has had. His putting people in concentration camps doesn't change that; it just makes him a racist piece of shit, like so many others of his time (not that the time period excuses it).

> One open question I have is: how do we keep the temptation at bay for subsequent administrations, democratic or republican, from exercising unilateral power at such scale?

Well, it’s quite simple. If a Democratic president does happen to get elected again (hard to imagine happening in my lifetime), SCOTUS will clam up and reverse most of these little executive power loopholes. Recall how Biden didn’t have the authority to order the Department of Education to forgive student loans? But now Posse Comitatus is just, like, a suggestion.

Almost certainly an organizational failure. Salesforce, despite its many faults, has had good non profit programs for many years. They also tend to have procedures about notification for renewals and account managers to discuss terms and the like. Some automated process or internal person with enough context made a mistake. A jump like that should have required direct outreach and phone call to see what can be discussed. It doesn't seem like saleforce has some kind of policy shift to charge maximum rates to non profits. Elsewhere in this thread it seems like this organization had some kind of special one-off deal to handle the case they had a number number of non-employee users. The slack billing model doesn't seem to work for "communities" but if they agreed to such a special deal they shouldn't just suddenly drop it with limited notice. Thus my contention is the specifics of the special deal where lost in some form of automation or lower-level employees actions following a standard playbook.

This looks so good dude. I work in research, trading and market content and I think you are really on to something here.

Definitely think the real time data access adds a significant improvement to workflows vs the major LLMs.

Might be cool to be able to build dashboards, kind of like how Koyfin.com has them.

Would love to chat more about what you have here.

That's what we hear. I wouldn't trust one side's story only:

> The student claimed they had been the subject of a false report of antisemitism to the campus Title IX and XI Office for the Prevention of Harassment and Discrimination, or OPHD. They said other students who received the notification had OPHD cases that were determined to be unsubstantiated or stand open.

Also antisemitism is a red herring. It just fits today's narrative.

I would also say several other less known software and data breakthroughs are probably going to also help this tech

1. A world wide localization map that can let the glasses SLAM system do useful things.

2. I believe the Puck runs on a custom OS. The glasses are probably on somekind of a real time Microcontroller driven thing(would be surprised if its much more than firmware, code wise) that needs to efficiently package sensor data and send it over BLE to the puck/wristband. I am not sure they have open sourced those two components.

I hope they open source both of those for public good.

Edit: OK, message received! Thanks everyone for the feedback. We're turned off the downweights and will keep this on the front page.

The problem with posts like this is that they give a very one-sided view of the situation and don't allow an uninformed reader (i.e., everyone other than the author and those close to them with direct knowledge of the situation) to understand the backstory and the reasoning for the pricing change.

I'm having to do Google searches to understand why this might have happened, and can only speculate. Is it that previously this company was eligible for a heavy discount as a nonprofit, and now something about that has changed? What has changed? We're not told anything.

According to their website, Slack offers discounts to charities [1] and educational institutions [2]. Does this organisation qualify now? Did they qualify previously? Has something changed in the organisation's status, or in Slack's policies, or has the organisation been misclassified and Slack has only just noticed? This post doesn't even attempt to explain any of those details.

I'm not saying that what Slack did was justifiable. It sounds like a terrible situation for this organization to be in, and I sympathize.

But without knowing any details at all about Slack's basis for making this change, this is the kind of post that generates a lot of heat but not much light.

Can't speak for others.

My "anti-American" comment is due to the difference between what's preached and what's practiced. "Leader of the free world", "greatest country on earth" etc. I also wouldn't characterize my comment as anti-American so much as disappointed in America.

There is of course more freedom in the US than in say China. But I'm also not holding up China as a beacon of freedom. The US on the other hand, the land of the free, freedoms and rights are being eroded.

A law would be better, otherwise companies will start with low prices and data export functionality when attracting customers, then quietly remove it right when they switch to extracting maximum value.

Even a daily export won't save you from the export functionality disappearing with zero notice, because it's really disruptive to try and stop using a service with zero notice. Your company will be left with several weeks if not months of un-exported data.

They can be sneaky about the removal, just let it "break" and it might be months before you are sure they aren't going to fix it.

I'm a hack clubber who is extremely active and has sent over 55K messages in the slack (talk about insanity!). I've been part of Hack Club for about 3 years now, and it's changed my life in ways you couldn't have imagined. Porting over from Slack is super stressful for me + all of the HC staff having to pull all-nighters for the next week :). Hopefully this can all be figured out, and we can finally have a proper FOSS software to allow for lots of additions via PR's! Also, all the finances are available too at hcb.hackclub.com/hq (guess what, this is 99% coded by teenagers too, and open source... woah).

1000% this. I used to "lightly" follow 3D printing when it first started to become cool among hackers a decade or so ago, then I dropped off until 2023 much older and much less tolerant to BS in technology.

I went onto Reddit to get their recommendations. To someone completely new who hasn't followed any real developments occurring in the industry, it was confusing but it seemed like the Sovol SV06 was a good "starting point".

Well I didn't realize how far behind the industry still was. I thought surely at this point all printers much just be load file -> load filament -> click print. Just like regular printers no?

Nope, doing dumb things like using some third party slicer tool, transferring a file to a microsd card manually and then babying the printer for its super slow error prone prints feels like its still a toy not a professional device.

Imagine having to do that level of nonsense for your laser printer? Yeah maybe back in the days of "Office Space" but not today!

I was in a time crunch so out of desperation I took a gamble and dropped a wad of cash on a Bambu X1C. It is what I consider a professional product for normies in my eyes. Most everything else are just toys.

I was ready to say Bambu, Bambu and nothing but Bambu but then I read the user's last few sentences. Seems like he is not really looking for a end to end professional product and so hes got infinite options but for anyone else, its gotta be Bambu!

You’re misinterpreting the ruling. The ruling was that the states that brought the case (Missouri and Louisiana) didn’t have standing to bring the case forward, not that the Biden administration acted legally. The majority in the court said a plaintiff who was directly a victim of the censorship would have to bring the case, rather than states on behalf of unspecified citizens. In other words, the case was dismissed on a technicality without ruling on the merits of government censorship that is done via a private third party.

People who install ad blockers are perhaps not good recipients of in-video sponsor placements. So maybe not counting them as viewers is at least honest to the sponsor?

With something like YouTube there are so many different parties involved. Sponsor, creator, Google, advertiser, consumer. Clearly the system could be optimized for any of them, or it can present some balances that naturally make one or more of the groups unhappy. Clearly it's easy to criticize the system if it's not optimized to your perspective of it.

It's very unpopular to say it, (cue downvotes) but on the whole I think Google mostly gets it right. Advertisers have a channel to reach consumers [3]. Creators have a way to earn income [1], consumers watch for free [2], Google makes money (and provides infrastructure).

[1] sponsorships are allowed, although none of that revenue flows to Google, which I think is fairly tolerant of Google.

[2] Google has an option to turn off ads with YT Premium.

[3] Ad blockers serve consumers, but hurt the whole system. I get that they're very popular here, but they are effectively a tax on Google, and now on creators. A more ethical approach IMO (and ethics are both personal and subjective) is to pay for YT Premium if you'd prefer to suppress ads. Then you are "paying your way" not free-loading.

My biggest concern is the entropic quality of the random bits, since the design of UUIDv7 is fundamentally more concerned with collisions than predictability; consequently, although the standard says SHOULD for their nonguessability it isn't a MUST, and leaves room for implementations that use a weak PRNG, or that increment a counter, or even place additional clock data in the apparently random bits (ref. RFC9562 s6.2 & s6.9).

So there's definitely some gotchas with relying on rand_a and rand_b in UUIDv7 for seeding a PRF, and when ingesting data from devices outside of your trust boundary (as may be the case with high-volume telemetry), even if you wrote the code they basically can't be trusted for this purpose, and if those bits are undisturbed in the output it's certainly a problem if the idea was to obfuscate serialisation, timing, or correlation.

Even generations we might assume are safe may not be completely safe; for example, the new uuidv7() in PostgreSQL 18 fills rand_a entirely from the high precision part of the timestamp, and this is RFC compliant. So if an import routine generates a big batch of such UUIDs, this v7-to-v4 scheme discloses output bits that can be used to relate individual records as part of the same group. That might be fine for data points pertaining to a vehicle engine. It might not be fine for identifiers that relate to people.

So, since not all UUIDv7 is created alike, I'd add a strong caveat: unless generating the rand_a and rand_b bits entirely oneself with a high degree of confidence in their nonguessibility, then this scheme may still leak information regarding timing, sequence, or correlation of records, and you will have to read the source code of your UUIDv7 implementation to know for sure.

Assassination is stupid and counterproductive, even if the subject was a shameless, ethnonationalist supremacist who said mass shootings were the "price to pay" for 2a, because all that blackpill bozo did was turn him into an "innocent" victim, lionized martyr.

During the Cold War the Russians were quite happy to fund protests everywhere especially on college campuses which are easy targets. But that was a super power influencing things.

This time around its this weird micro nation with 300K people that has got it into its head, it can exert global influence by throwing oil money around. But this is not the football world cup. Historically there are really no examples of such small countries exerting so much influence before it is all shut down by larger powers.

Expect ofcourse with the Vatican. But that is centralized religion with "citizenship" across borders. Qatar meanwhile barely has enough people to defend a town, and already experienced a backlash in 2017 with a blockade. This is the second round. Watch them retreat back to sports by the end of the decade.

Small countries and Geopolitical Power are not compatible.

Holding a phone in front of your face in public is so normalized at this point that targeted recording is not a matter of hardware, but of someone wanting to do it.

As you point out, most influencer-types aren't aimed at you.

That generalizes pretty well, with or without glasses, no one cares about recording you, other than incidentally as part of the background

If someone does want to target recording you, i.e. you're a semi-famous idol or such, they'll just pretend to watch tiktoks on their phone and record without an indicator, right? At least the glasses have an indicator, unlike phones.

Hamas had much less power.

You imagine the future that suits your perspective and act like it's a fait accompli.

In reality, the PLO would have (and had been) quelling Hamas effectively. And then they were sitting at the negotiating table (after a rather ugly period). So Israel was facing awkward questions of "If Arafat is willing to negotiate, why aren't you?", so the Israeli far right locked in on the idea of "surreptitiously fund Hamas against the PLA/PLO".

Your imaginings count for nothing, because they're just your preconceived notion.

> It's still censorship even if the FCC has regulatory ability. Censorship is a type of action.

> If the FCC bans porn before 10pm that's still censorship. You can argue whether it's justified or not

I agree with both of these statements. But I don’t think that contradicts my point necessarily. I’m saying his approach is to do things that are censorship but are also legal, but to refuse to do things that are illegal even if there is political pressure to do so. I also noted in one of my other comments (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45284283) that I think it is unfortunate that the FCC has the authority to regulate content at all.

OK but that's just name-calling, instead of an argument. An argument is that Hamas has a right to kill their foreign invaders, including the enemy combatants who happen to be dancing at a music festival, for example.

And you're name-calling because you're trying to normalize the existence of an occupation force in foreign lands.

Not everyone agrees that Israel has a right to exist. If you believe European Jews have a right to kill Palestinian children to steal their land to establish their mediterranean resort home they call Israel, then you need to explain that, instead of just name-calling.

Tell us WHY you believe European Jews have a right to kill Palestinian children to steal their land in order to establish the state of Israel.

At this point you might as well assume everyone is antisemitic, but its still your job to get them on your side.

Consider, when has a Democrat politician done this at any level or has talked about doing it? A democratic congress had gotten in Biden's way on really arcane technicalities.

Trump is more or less doing what he campaigned on and has a history of doing. At a minimum, don't vote for anyone involved worth supporting his admin. Don't vote for anyone with the same major donors (you can look up donors on open secrets), or the same project 2025/federalist background. Pay attention to your primary elections.

The simplest way to keep subsequent admins from doing this is to not vote R.
