The link up thread shows patents going back 10 years on headset ideas but still no product, they could work on it another 10 years and it still go nowhere. They look at all sorts of things and patented all sorts of crazy ideas for much longer that but also went absolutely nowhere.

The only real indication is Akonia, that is interesting, but they have 200 patents on display technology. Any of that stuff could be useful in other applications. So I’ll stick to my guns.
This sounds like something Vodafone would write up. Jio prices now are lower than all their competitors prices were 5 years ago.

Even if Jio raised prices a little higher than they ever were, it doesn't therefore follow that the indian consumer is worse off for having the new player. And vodafone and others didn't leave the indian market. Jio isn't the only player in India. They'll always have competition that keeps them from raising prices to confiscatory rates.
That becomes an exercise in defining essential services. I'd be interested in seeing the web of dependency for the absolute basics like food, and what other seemingly non-essential services are required in the production and distribution of food.

Then, just within food itself, what of people with allergies and special needs, and separating the "real" from the "I think gluten free means healthier" types.

It's the kind of dependency complexity that economists would drool over, but during good times it's probably a far less profitable area of research than those that cause economics to be looked down upon as part of the problem.

Fuckkkkk I think I found the source of my confusion. I am wrong, you are right.

I DID find documents about Moloch floating around my Google Drive from ~2013-ish. I believe I invited your co-author Eion to present at a conference I was running, THREADS, in 2014 and that he was not able to make it. The focus the _year prior_ was exclusively on DARPA CFT. I combined those two events in my head and thought your project got some seed funding from DARPA too. I'm sorry!

Here is the conference:

Most of the "GDPR violations" are not actually GDPR violations. People get stressed out and worried when actually there is no legal problem. I think for the case of the GDPR it would count as publically available information (or the analogous legal construct).

For me what makes the iPad such a hit is that it can’t be copied apparently. There are phones that are in some ways more successful than iPhone but for tablets there is more or less just the iPad.

I seem to be mistaken :-x. Moloch was never provided with early funding from CFT. I confused a few interactions I had with their project's original authors in 2013. It _feels_ like something CFT would have funded, but it was started on its own. See more here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22951925

Unemployment directly leads to suicide over the long run, and that’s not even mentioning the extra suicide and overdose-related deaths from the unique conditions of isolation and constant fear mongering we are all collectively being exposed to.

It’s not clear that our interventions are going to help, given that the economic damage is going to introduce mortality (dud to the aforementioned suicide/overdose) in individuals who never would have been harmed by covid.

Meanwhile, it’s still a reality that majority of the globe will be exposed to this, so the lockdown is not avoiding death but instead just _postponing_ it. We need to hunker down insofar as we are close to exceeding medical capacity, but when we are not on the brink of medical collapse we need to be opening up.

Unfortunately the public policy has been built around irrational fear rather than “straight talk”. Thus why people are scared shitless that their teenage children, or elementary school children, will did if they return to school (rather than merely being a vector to infect their parents).

I’m on mobile but I have citations for the link between unemployment vs suicide that I’ll try to edit and stick in here in an hour or so. Last thing is that people should understand that the serological data, while not entirely reliable, is indicating from multiple sources that true IFR is .2-.8%, and furthermore that relative risk varies massively as a function of age/obesity/etc. So this seems to be one of the worst diseases to be practicing national lockdown for. (Avoiding hospital overrun was a great goal but the goalposts have now moved over time).

Also the IMHE model is so laughably bad that I actually am shocked that the authors are considered “experts”. It predicts 0 deaths after some point in June (I forget the day, I think june 6) because it naively assumed a .3 R_0 based off of the wuhan data, which they apparently assumed would hold for the US. In other words my understanding is the model is pretending that we’re going to contain covid. And they actually were crazy enough to lower the estimated deaths to 60,000 which we can already see is ridiculous.

I really wish I was in Sweden right now...
I'm surprised that it isn't normal to provide a pragma for that. Something like this:

#pragma push intsizes 1 2 2 4 0

#pragma push intsizes 1 2 4 8 16
#include <servertypes.h> // uses 128-bit long long
#pragma pop
In some ways this reminds me of Joseph Tainter's Collapse of Complex Societies. It's been a while since I've read it, but I recall he correlated increasing social complexity with a decrease in innovation. Although, I think he measured "innovation" as patents, copyrights, and other intellectual property which I think is a poor measure of ingenuity or innovation. Still, interesting hypothesis...

If you didn't get the memo - meat plants and slaughterhouses are places where you definitely don't want sick workers handling raw meat.

If you think about it, meat plants are the wet markets of the US. Albeit with sanitary standards, refrigeration, etc, but if there was going to be another zoonotic crossbreeding event, where the human coronavirus from a sick plant worker merges and mutates with a bovine coronavirus within dying slaughterhouse animals - you could be looking at a worse event.

These plants are not shutting down because of precautions, they are shutting down because the plant workers are sick and test positive.
The question I'm asking is why they don't have a great product. Why is it bulky, weird looking, expensive, etc? Why does their marketing fail to explain the product's value?

There are tons of ways to implement AR. They chose 'general AR', the kind of thing you see on Westworld or Black Mirror. That was a bad choice, because the tech isn't there and won't be for a long time, and it only follows that the implementation was going to be bad.

There are alternative ways to find a good v1 for AR. Take a look at this tweet storm for more of my thoughts on what that could be:

As far as VR goes, it's further along. Quest is a quality stand-alone product, but VR is young and content is still lacking. Its also completely sold out, even before coronavirus. They aren't producing them in Sony/MS console numbers but its not a failure, just a stepping stone to success. Unlike the Rift or Vive, with cords hanging out of them and an appeal only to hardcore gamers, Quest is definitely on the path to mainstream, or mainstream-adjacent success.

One pet peeve I have with this article is that it doesn't explicitly state the cause of the shutdowns are Corona virus infected employees until half way through. I was 90% sure, but there was still a chance of coincidence.

Anyway the meat industry isn't special. The whole economy needs to run on stocked up supplies and skeleton crews for a while. That's why its so important to get this right the first time. If the lock down only consists of half-measures and the crisis is prolonged there aren't enough supplies to take another shot at it. Scarily, I'm seeing a whole lot of half-measures right now.
But still I would imagine that such antibodies would be exponentially more valuable in the earliest moments of life, where it’s likely that the newborn fist comes into contact with the mother’s fecal material and all of the bacteria living on our skin.

I'd love to see some rich people forced to work in meat packing plants alongside men and women infected with this coronavirus.

It's inherently immoral to force people to work at great risk to themselves and their families just because "the economy", as would be the case in states where the abhorrent practice of at-will employment is law.
Fuck off with your disinformation astroturfing.
Are any of those plant substitute companies in a position to help offset a meat supply shortfall in any meaningful way? Are the substitutes less labor-intensive to produce or otherwise less affected by the coronavirus?
It's not clear if you want or plan to be an employee again at some point.

I've been programming Elixir professionally for three years. I wish Elixir was statically typed, but there isn't a statically typed language that I really like better all around. I've done a lot of Haskell development but it seems like I always spent too much time playing type tetris and polishing abstractions instead of getting work done. Elixir feels more static than most dynamic languages; you'll get compile errors or warnings if function arity doesn't match or if you use names that are undefined. There is a static analyzer called Dialyzer that can detect a lot of errors you'd catch with static language compiler such as passing the wrong type to a function (often, even if there are no type specs defined). Yet at the same time you get the benefits of a dynamic language with excellent meta-programming capabilities.
agree... but it's just a video game :/
The basic problem is that without high fidelity & a wide FOV, there's nothing that sets MagicLeap apart from any of the other companies that have been able to create AR headsets for the last ~decade.

AR right now is stuck because the display technologies aren't up to the task. The "Waveguide" approach has always fallen short - nobody's ever been able to make the viewing angle wide enough to be worthwhile, and the "passthrough" approach isn't really viable for walking down the street.

This is why I'm skeptical about Apple's AR moves - unless they've either got a totally new display technology or they've managed to do something incredibly clever with the waveguide approach, I just don't see consumer goggles working.

The only people I've seen doing something unique in this space is Tilt Five: https://www.tiltfive.com/ - they've basically done what you're suggesting: constrain the use case until you can actually build something for it.
Probably hard to quantify economic motivation over long periods of time with very different cultural environments. Economic motivation seems a strange label for what would have been basic survival for early agricultural societies. I think what feels strange now is that we've had these massive increases in productivity over 150 years, but it hasn't translated to more leisure or less stress.

I also think there's a difference between an inventor coming up with an idea in hopes of selling it, versus the modern VC-funded apparatus of blitzing social media, adtech, and blackhat SEO to generate. In the past there were gate-keepers to distribution which have in many cases been disintermediated, and for a while there was a golden age where small independent producers could get internet distribution because the old giants (Apple, Microsoft) were too big and slow to capture it. But once Google and Facebook came of age, and VCs figured out the playbook, independents are once again at a disadvantage.

It could also have “hidden” complications, which I find much more likely.

> Do you have any recommendations for types or scope of personal projects?

you're in a really great place to teach yourself because colleges will generally have hands-on, free help. Beyond that I would say get projects that people or business need - you'll be way more incentivized to learn. An internship with a small startup where you work for cheap would be a really great starting place. It's a tradeoff - cheap labor for them if they're willing to help teach you.

For security & systems, look for backendy, devops, or rel-eng. opportunities. You'll quickly learn a lot.
That's not how it's going to work. There's no reasonable way to extinguish this in one swell foop.

We need to move (ASAP) in jurisdictions where the virus is largely under control, to half-measures that are hopefully sufficient to prevent another large incident wave and that provide economic output/lets us "stock up again". This will allow a slow reduction in population susceptibility. And we need to be ready to tighten again if it looks like we're going to run out of ICU capacity.

As bad as New York's response has been, treading right next to disaster/health care overload, they may have attained a magical proportion of the population where Rt is greatly reduced. I'm betting that when we have the serology study, we'll find 15-30%, or even more-- of the population of NYC has antibodies-- a good chunk of the way to herd immunity and enough to greatly reduce the amount of control measures needed to control the virus.
I had no idea he started work on FinFETs in the 90's. That's crazy because I worked on them at Intel during the first process (which was an absolute beast to bring up), and I just assumed they were a new tech.

> Open source code is much more likely to already have been audited better.

Common wisdom. I just happens to not be true. People just aren't auditing random code on github for fun. Auditing code is hard, and time consuming. Most vulnerabilities are found by techniques like fuzzing, not by combing through thousands of lines of code.

>one-directional shields and turned it into team strategy game with much less room for individual skill

There's plenty of room for individual skill, which goes beyond hitting Q. One-directional shields only reveal that teamplay is necessary, by themselves they don't add the necessity of teamplay. A poorly coordinated team doesn't do a good job. Even if both teams didn't use shield tank heroes, you'd still need just as much coordination.
True, and I’ve considered doing that, but it means you’re doing 2/1 or at best 3/2 storage storage rates. Raid only uses XOR, but Reed-Solomon or other FEC codes can produce way better error correction rates. Say full recovery for standard storage error rates using only 1/10 the extra space along with more computation at recovery time. Add CPU hardware support like AES and then even battery devices could use it.
I like the business model. But it'd surely be advertising at you too. The pressure for the owner to pick up those free dollars would be just too strong.

This article seems to have divided people somewhat. A think a great reconciliation between the practical and the theoretical when it comes to learning is found in Mindstorms by Seymour Papert:

"An important part of becoming a good learner is learning how to push out the frontier of what we can express with words. From this point of view the question about the bicycle is not whether or not one can "tell" someone "in full" how to ride but rather what can be done to improve our ability to communicate with others (and with ourselves in internal dialogues) just enough to make a difference to learning to ride."
That’s correct - one of the proposed treatments for coronavirus is synthetically generated antibodies for seriously ill patients; it won’t teach the immune system as you said but reduces viral load.

All good points, deflation is a serious risk in a situation like this. But also a dose of moderate inflation for a few years or even a decade could help.
