That's just how it goes with AR, you can find some amateur clips people have tried to shoot through the lens themselves but it's very difficult. Even Microsoft doesn't shoot through the lens and has gotten similar flack. Best they can do is composite imaging, which actually looks worse than through the lens.
I still think this write up by Michael Abrash (from 2012) is still the best argument about why AR is hard: http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/abrash/why-you-wont-see-hard-...

Arguably any programming language allows companies to break the law. It's not a JS thing, and I feel like there is no going back from the world of web applications.
Why dont u make your own twitter then? it's really easy to start (hard to scale, but if you get to that point u re up for sucecss)

incidentally these:

> Fake accounts, GRU-sponsored trolls, algorithms that promote conspiracies and junk science

i know they exist and i see them in responses to tweets but i dont follow any of those, and havent seen any of them being followed a lot. they seem like typical harmless spam like the stuff i remove from signups all the time. Twitter is pretty great for me at this time, and i m glad they re not trying to become facebook. there's a reason why facebook can't be the fun , witty platform that twitter is.
I don't really think the difference is really notable. I knew it would be a daily calendar counting until Christmas. I guess I fall into the camp of not being a prescriptivist of language.

And governments can change over time. I agree that there should always be room for nuance. But people should think carefully about what declaring something a human right really entails, and what kind of authority that gives the government regarding it. Most of our legislature talk about technology like they still login to the web with AOL.

I've tried Hololens and it is honestly pretty amazing. The field of view really sucks but I'm sure they'll improve that, and it doesn't actually matter quite so much for AR.

But it is still a less compelling proposition than VR. The main market is games where seeing the real world is kind of pointless. Good VR is much more immersive, and being taken to another world is much cooler than seeing some floating planets or fish or whatever in an office (even though that is cool).

If your symptoms are acute enough that you really can’t wait until the morning, then yes, you’re going to pay for access to round the clock in person medical professionals in the US.
Notice that zero VR companies show you through the lens footage. This is not restricted to Magic Leap. You can find amateur attempts by owners to shoot through Magic Leap, Hololens, and various VR headsets if you go on Youtube and Twitter. But no company does this at all. Just another misunderstanding by people here who think they've found another reason to nitpick at Magic leap, but it's a widespread industry issue. VR is actually the worst about this because they only show straight from the PC output with none of the limitations you actually experience like FOV and screen door effect.
Couldn't this be solved by the adblockers by injecting some JS to change this?
One thing that I can tell you is that they are using this to sign the request to their private API. They might be using for tracking it too (I never looked at that), but it's used to prevent their platform from being scraped.

This won't work: the contractor will just declare bankruptcy when things don't work out that great. But the owners will have bags full of money by then.
Users seem pretty satisfied with single-page apps. They are slow to load and have frustrating-to-use (inconsistent) interfaces, at least compared to my memory of 1990s desktop software. If users actually cared about performance then software would get faster over time.

QT is already experimenting with rendering to Canvas using WASM in the browser, I've tried to call them out on it as bad practice a couple of times in the past.

Rust on the other hand is doing some genuinely exciting, powerful stuff with allowing WASM to talk to the DOM and allowing native developers to target HTML directly within their apps. Rust's approach is to treat the language like a minimal, drop-in replacement for Javascript that doesn't require you to ship an entire rendering engine alongside it.

It is yet to be seen which approach to web portability is going to win. Obviously I'm rooting for Rust, and I personally think apps that are written using Rust's strategy will nearly always be higher quality than apps written using QT's strategy. But that doesn't necessarily mean that Rust will win, there are a lot of factors at play here. It'll be interesting to see.

But agreed, native apps are definitely coming to the web in some form or another. Funnily, the opposite is also true, since there's been a lot of buzz about using WASM for native sandboxing. I like to think that Gary Bernhardt[0] is pleased about that.

The study quoted [1] is a simulation study of LA-MRSA among Danish pig herds between 2006 and 2015. The study concludes: “Combinations of control measures reduced the spread of LA-MRSA, especially when all four strategies were combined. Using an extreme scenario including limiting the use of high-risk antibiotics, reducing the risk of spread via indirect contact by 75%, implementing movement restriction and culling a percentage of positive herds led to a prevalence reduction to only 6% with initiation in 2007 or 13% in 2010.”

Now compare that with the reduction in antibiotic use during 2015-2018 [2] and there seems to be no reason why it would go back to historically high levels. There should be optimism that in such a relatively short time, significant changes can happen. The main thrust of the Times article is precisely that.

> For example, humans usually have a rule that if your teammate hints multiple cards of the same color/number, you should play the newest one. The bot uses a more complicated rule: if the card you just picked up was hinted then play that card, otherwise play the oldest hinted card. That gives you way more flexibility to hint playable cards that would otherwise be tough to get played.

I've definitely seen advanced Hanabi players use a more subtle version of that rule: "If your hint looks like it's telling me to play my leftmost hinted card, how long has that card been playable? If it could have been hinted for play a long time ago, and it's just being hinted now, it must not be playable. So what else must you mean...?"

That version of the rule allows for more subtle cases. Suppose you hint that a player's second-from-the-left and fourth-from-the-left cards are both red. If there hasn't been an opportunity to hint the second-from-the-left since it became playable, go ahead and play the second-from-the-left. If there have been opportunities to hint second-from-the-left, play fourth-from-the-left.

That rule requires human players to model whether the other players' actions in the interim have been "urgent" things that needed taking care of before hinting them, or whether those other players would have hinted them sooner if their card was playable.

Only peripherally related: As we keep increasing the percentage of the chip that is memory, I can't help but recalling all that talk years ago about storing multiple bits per structure.

This has shown up in SSDs, but not in cache memory. Are we going to skip right over that plan and go to spintronics?
I'd be surprised if the age groups were very close, but you're right about the filter.
I would strongly disagree. I was at a dinner party in the mid-90s and we had a long-running discussion about how impossible it was to find anything using Altavista and the other search engines. Yahoo's directory was even worse.

The best idea anyone had, which I thought wouldn't scale but didn't have better ideas, was implementing a keyword registry à la AOL.
Fire extinguisher is a good one, also important, to know what will put out a particular fire and what ends up making things (much) worse.
If I may offer, technical skills are only one part of a person and can be small or large in importance. It's completely okay for programming to be a day job. Personal projects can take many forms outside of the CS world, or sometimes they can use it tangentially. Sometimes CRUD is more fun when it's powering something you really care about personally :)
Perhaps nuanced is a better word. It's easy to read the various headlines and conclude: "Musk called a hero a pedo because the kids were saved before Musk's crazy vanity project could do anything."

If you have to put this much effort into managing contractors and avoiding shysters, at what point does it make more sense to just not use contractors at all, and do it yourself?

This reminds me of when I used to own homes. It was generally easier to just do some home-repair job myself than deal with the hassles of finding a good contractor, and then having to deal with more hassles if the contractor didn't do it right.

I wouldn't underestimate how much more "real" and visceral VR can make things feel, even in its current state where the graphics are not photorealistic at all. Just search on youtube for videos of people letting their relatives and friends attempt playing VR games. I can attest to this myself, and I am somewhat difficult to get shaken up by traditional media like movies/games.

It's inevitable that in 20 years every living person on this planet will have it's location tracked in real-time.

All kinds of crime will become impossible. Today the police doesn't have resources to spend on stolen packages, bikes or small time muggings.

But with permanent tracking and AI it will be trivial to backtrack any interaction.

And it will be impossible to disable the tracking. Even if you don't have any tracking on you, unless you are literally invisible you'll be tracked through millions of other peoples cameras each day.

Something like Google Street View, but in real time will also exist.
Maybe it is, and we just didn't realize it yet: climate change and others destructions of the environment may lead us to situation worse than what we started the twentieth century with. We can't know for sure, but that's not impossible.

Another iteration of this and we'll have bullets with text on them and killing someone with those bullets will be an expression of free speech. The degree to which the 'free speech' analogy is contorted is amazing, more so because the original scope was quite narrow, both legal and geographical.

I might be speaking from an unfair vantage point, but working for the largest cloud company has its perks, namely, the tooling that deal with exactly the problem that you described.

While some CRUD is still necessary, most of that is abstracted away, we still have to be schema conscious, but since 1. Our team is dedicated to one back end product. 2. We have a lot of resources (and demand), we had to spend a lot of time thinking about more complex (and interesting) problems with scaling, distributed computing etc.

It's a blessing for me because I'm sure if I was in a place where I need to be responsible for all part of the stack the job would turn into a mundane grind. But it's not just for work, I've been able to turn some of the stuff I learned into private projects and make them more interesting and less CRUDly.

It was bought by the government and converted over to a light rail line in the late 1950s.

"Writing code to map back and forth between bits-on-the-wire and program data structures is a very bad use of developer time."

I'm going to disagree. Those transitions happen very frequently and can materially affect both latency and throughput. Spending developer time on these things can give a large return.
