You're right that 3DOF needed to exist before 6DOF, which is a much harder problem to solve, doubly so for inside-out. But, PCVR entirely skipped 3DOF as a consumer product, and even though Rift shipped without touch controllers it had tracked controllers 6 months after launch.

Early 3DOF mobile VR was an attempt at getting more users, without actually thinking about the user experience. Early mobile VR advertisements (for Gear VR or Daydream), had people using 3DOF VR headsets like they were standalone 6DOF headsets with full hand-tracking. People walking around their hands in front of the HMD, etc. Marketers knew how the device should work, it actually wouldn't be insane to say the device that people want is 3-5 years out and not release 3DOF hardware
It definitely should be possible to at least anonymize some comments (disconnect from the main account). Norms are changing so fast an innocent joke made in 2015 could be enough to get someone cancelled, and the retroactive norms are only getting stricter (I wonder what's acceptable today that's going to be enough to cancel people in 2025?).

I imagine many people who posted under their real identity, or revealed it, are now regretting it for this reason.
The legacy of the South with respect to labor can be interpreted as a leftover element of mercantilism: One of the key elements of many mercantile writers(who would be seen as rent-seekers today) was that labor should be made cheap and highly available for national prosperity, and this idea co-mingled with various legalized denials of liberties(enslavement, debt bondage, impressment). They were not challenged at first: Nobody had put together the argument that rent-seeking might be bad for the nation, and the early modern period is colored by this attitude being normalized. It was not until the late 17th century that you started to get writers like Hobbes and Locke that were thinking about liberties across a society, and they struggled to reconcile the nation, the leadership, the people, and the property as they existed under the merchantilist model into one coherent system, which makes their reasoning often feel alienating or poorly articulated today.

The arguments that ultimately challenged the model and led towards utilitarianism and free trade occurred much later, in the 18th century - Bentham, Smith, Mill, etc. By this time the colonial project in the South was well underway, with established stakeholders under the plantation model; and so the argument proceeds that the ideals of merchantalism have held more staying power there than elsewhere, even as the institutions have changed. The North, in contrast, had fewer ties to bonded labor, and so made a smoother transition into capitalist thinking.

Will do. Looks interesting. Thanks.

A friend of mine, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer, went through a radical change of diet. This included juicing lots of vegetables and cutting out most meats.

He thinks the dietary adjustment played an important role in his cancer disappearing five years ago.
I think I understand HN's philosophy (ie: this is the web; you can never really delete anything), but there are a few of my old comments I wish I could hide. Does there exist no compromise that is simpler than emailing HN, yet onerous enough to prevent HN from becoming a shifting pile of sand?
> But based on Apple's docs, it won't support emulating Intel CPUs well enough to run an x86 virtual machine, it will only run operating systems which run on ARM.

And that’s the big thing a lot aren’t understanding.
Many years ago I purchased a retail copy of Parallels. Some time later, the product began displaying a splash screen on startup featuring ads for an upsell product. Ads in paid software is unacceptable; I immediately uninstalled Parallels and vowed to never give the creators money again.

This experience will always be the first thing that comes to mind when I hear the name "Parallels".
Cycle time (how long to complete tasks on average), number of customer found defects, MTTR (mean time to resolution) for production issues, SLO violations, velocity (story points completed on average), number of alerts, and probably more. We track it for ourselves, not for comparison with other teams. And these metrics are at the team level, never individual.
> How many times would LE have to accidentally issue gstatic.com or fbcdn.net before they get the Symantec treatment

Our concern with Symantec was inadequate oversight.

This is not some clumsy "Three strikes and you're out" rule. Symantec did not have the culture needed to do the job properly and we had no confidence that their management was capable of instilling such a culture.

If you're American or just follow American events somewhat you may have seen the "One rotten apple" argument being pulled apart in respect of problems with their police. Symantec used this argument, asserting on two occasions that their policies were fine but an employee had fallen short and this employee was terminated so now everything is fine. I am not sure I believe them but it doesn't matter because:

That is not good enough. We need public CAs to design procedures so that merely incompetent or lazy employees cannot sabotage things. Because individual humans are by their nature incompetent and lazy, such problems are to be expected and must be allowed for in your processes.

The big incident that blew up for Symantec was Crosscert. Symantec had not explicitly disclosed that the Crosscert relationship existed. In fact even if you read their paperwork closely (as we did after the incident) they actually simply did not disclose key facts about the relationship to anyone, not to their users, not to relying parties (ie you and me), and not to their independent auditor. Perhaps not even to their own board of directors (of course maybe private documents available to the board had such a disclosure).

It is likely that in practice Symantec as a corporation was unaware of what Crosscert were doing. Even if one or two Symantec employees had a good idea, the organisation as a whole was ignorant. As a result there was in practice no oversight over this entirely separate entity in a foreign country issuing certificates!

We concluded that building confidence in a new management of new infrastructure would take several years and that was the minimum we could allow. At first Symantec decided to fight this at the executive level, which of course only made us more confident that we'd been correct not to have confidence in them. When that failed (my impression is that trying to bully Google senior management isn't a good strategy) they settled upon a plan of selling their CA business instead.

So all that's a long way from Let's Encrypt accidentally mis-issuing a certificate from their own systems to bad guys.
I think the point of people advocating the Swedish model is that it's not fair to compare Sweden now with the Czech Republic now. If a country implements strict lockdown measures for three months and then no lockdown measures it might well be it has equal or more deaths a year from now. This will only become a fair comparison at the end of the pandemic.

If the only reason for going to Mars was to reduce risk of our species being wiped out, this might make sense. But there are a lot more reasons such as scientific research, tourism, living space, stepping stone to other planets and he stars, that are all just as compelling, and none of which can be done deep underground in a NORAD shelter.
The whole Mars thing is just the high tech version of being a prepper, and it's pretty emblematic of the doomsday-ism that's prevalent among American tech billionaires who have somehow disconnected from humanity. Just like they're building themselves bunkers or buying cottages in New Zealand this is I guess just the next logical step.

It's pretty present in all of Musks products. He was once asked why instead of digging expensive tunnels for cars one should not simply invest in public transit, and his response was[1]:

"And there’s like a bunch of random strangers, one of who might be a serial killer"

AI is gonna kill us all, instead of fixing our planet we just ought to run to the next one (how we're escaping whatever made us screw up the first one I don't understand yet), and the trains are full of murderers. Whoever supports this and doesn't happen to be among the super-rich, just remember, you're not going to be on the rocket to Mars, and the climate refugees from the third world aren't going to be there either.

No, Rosetta 2 is the solution for running x86 macOS apps on Apple Silicon Macs (arm64).

This is for virtualizing an entire environment/OS like Linux (ARM only likely), it has nothing to do with Mac apps. There's also not enough information provided about if it can emulate any x86 but chances are, it won't be able to do that.

You can find out more about Rosetta here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_silicon/abou...
Hopefully, in time. Just needs support added for Hypervisor.framework on ARM.
Best Free React Native UI Kits of 2020
Nothing has been improved, only changed for the sake of change. A redesign without a user requirement or business concern indicates mismanagement. If designers or management wanted a new look they should have coupled it with functional interface improvements. Changing the style alone has a lot more potential downside than upside.

And of course in the quest to re-skin everything for no reason, important things like last commit message and status were removed.
The linked post says absolutely nothing of significance.
To be clear, I would probably wait a few days. Daniel Grackle responded to the very last comment I made some time ago. Reading and digesting now.

Off the cuff, it does seem strange that a new hosting provider hasn't been looked for a while (things happen you always have to recheck), and I'm not clear what happened to his startup skysheet.com (important because you want to know how everyone is getting their money).

Other answers were solid though. Thank you Daniel and I will post a follow up with reasonable questions if needed and drop it after that.
Could you point to these Apple docs? That’s the topic I’m most interested in. Thanks!
I cut my teeth on Usenet, mailing lists, and IRC - on all of which the idea of unsaying something you said was a self-evident absurdity.

So no, I don't have a problem with it here either.

If I feel badly enough about something I've said in the past, I can always follow up that I've changed my mind / disagree with my past argument and the reasons why.
This is a big exaggeration. Practically speaking, for most web development this just won’t matter. Many folks already develop on Mac and deploy on Linux.

How would your life be better if you were able to delete your account here as opposed simply not ever using it again?

That's not entirely true, but it is true that you can't just bulk delete every comment you made - and thankfully so, because reading discussions with bunch of deleted comments that have replies would make this place a lot worse.
Distros keep trying to move to Wayland and then keep coming back to X11 due to usability. GTK4 is not going to help that.
My inability to remember everything I've posted on this account over the years makes me consider it unsafe to tie to my real identity.

I've grown over the years. Since I can't review and delete anything that no longer reflects who I am now, I've written HN off as a place to talk about anything that might identify me.
Parallels really tries to constantly force people to upgrade every time there's a new version.

They even pushed disfunction back to older versions - VMs which previously started unattended would be hung up with a "sales" window touting a new version, the VMs themselves wouldn't start, and Parallels had no way to fix the "issue" aside from the same bullshit we'd expect from outsourced IT ("Try uninstalling and reinstalling", et cetera).

Upgrades often required reactivating Windows VMs, which is a huge pain in the ass.

I wouldn't trust Parallels with shit.
I hope Apple silicon will be fast enough to emulate x86-64 at decent speeds. Would be nice to be able to keep using 3DS Max on macOS.
It'd be nice to have a version recorded on harpsichord instead of piano.
The density has increased with things that aren't useful.

You're browsing the file listing page (<> Code tab) but it now has a bunch of extraneous stuff on the right hand side (Did you know that this repository has 0.5% Perl code??). Also the most prominent bit is the bold #105 in the commit message - who cares about the handcrafted comment, the important thing is the Github specific pull request number.
@dang A suggestion that occurs to me based on this would be deleting accounts but not comments. Essentially all comments remain but are attributed to “anon_1” or something like that.

That doesn't surprise me, to be honest. From what I've seen in this thread, you seem to care more about this guy than I do, and google adapts results according to one's history and all the other data google collects.

As for our incognito results, mine aren't even in English, so that also factors in why they might be so different. Though I doubt this Scott Alexander person cares about someone who won't ever be his patient.
Keep private and divulging information off this site. Also one can create a throwaway for any info they dont want associated to their main accounts. Eg bragging about stupid things they do or did at work, bragging about slacking, about being lazy at work, about things that we normally shy away for saying outloud IRL
I notice consistent drive-by downvoting on comments on certain topics related to humanities ongoing existential problems. I assume there has to some form of narrative contestation going on on any open online forum.
>wow, with just words I was able to rile someone up into conniptions

Your description of the mindset is accurate. What's interesting to me is how common it is, considering how irrational it is. Scoffing at the emotional result of "just words" is like scoffing at the physical result of "just bombs". At its root, it's usually a hypocritical expression along the lines of "people are too sensitive", but also, "I want to provoke people as much as possible".
qemu can be compiled from scratch in an hour or less. It'll run on ARM Macs immediately.

> You aren't free to do that. Hardware drivers for macOS are all controlled by Apple.

No, they are not. Apple ships some drivers themselves because they obviously support the hardware they deliver, but you are free to get your text editor out and write one yourself, compile it, and load it.
I don't mind the new look and feel. They made it look a bit more polished.
Windows for ARM has a built-in emulator for x86 binaries, so I think most users trying to run random legacy programs would be satisfied with it. (Gamers, not so much…)
> No one wants to be the person that stops the speaker every 30 seconds to get clarification on every piece of jargon

I have found that one of the best thing about attaining Seniority at work (as an SDE) and the trust associated with it is you don't have to worry about proving yourself to anyone, and can afford to look stupid.

I actually learned this from Principal engineers who over and over would start questions with "I'm sorry, I'm an idiot who must be missing something obvious, but can you explain this it doesn't make sense to me?"

I have found doing this exhilarating and ADDICTIVE, because of how often the question ends up revealing that the person just glossed over something or doesn't understand something themselves.

Now instead of trying to understand people, I find myself trying NOT to understand something and make sure I'm not letting any hand waving or imprecision trick me into thinking I understand something when it isn't properly explained.
Dr. Hossenfelder is not a professor. I think it is poor practice to inflate her title when citing her as some sort of authority.
One thing to keep in mind is that there are different types of pedal assist. There is cadence sensing, where the assist is based on how fast you are peddling. If the assist level for a given cadence is low enough, you still have to put in some effort to maintain speed. If it is higher, then you put in no effort (except freewheeling) to maintain speed.

Second type is torque sensing. This is quite a bit more expensive (an additional couple hundred, plus higher installation skills if you are converting yourself).

Another note is that most assists don't sense hills, so you will have to manually adjust the assist level when going up hill. So at that point, using a throttle-only setup, with a throttle lock (hold throttle in a position for 2 seconds and it keeps it at that setting) works really well. In that case it gives you the sensation of having a good wind at your back helping you out.

The primary cost can be the battery -- anywhere from 200 to 1000, depending on capacity and quality. Second is the motor, 200 - 500. Some come with kits that give you simple throttle control, or you may want to add an advanced ebike computer kit (like I mentioned in the previous comment).

All told, I'm about 1200 in my ebike, plus the bike itself.
I feel like this used to account for nearly all trolling, whereas now a significant portion of it crosses over into an expression of hatred, if the troll perceives the target to be of an opposing ideological group.

Ochlocracy is mob rule.

Anarchy is lack of rule - not the same as anarchism (the ideology and ideal for self-government), as several oppressors can and are still at play in a state of anarchy, or everybody might be fighting each other and there can be constant power shifts...

Ancient Greeks used the term with this meaning, not to describe some anarchist utopia.

So ochlocracy is like the people turning into a mob carrying pitchforks. They are the law...

Anarchy - in the ancient Greek sense - is like there's no state and no all-encompassing rule of law to turn to. It's the "law of the jungle".
If you have been careful all along, this would help. But it wouldn’t solve the problem where someone has inadvertently added some personal information or hints/links to who they are or where they are. People may also not remember where they posted what that links back to them.
It'll be interesting to see what instruments Square might actually use to "increase cash on hand by 290 percent", increasing withholding revenue doesn't seem to be enough. Debt financing following the likes of Uber and Airbnb could might as well be on the cards soon.
I'm not sure why you would put any information about yourself on a public forum and expect it to not be permanent. Do people actually have that assumption? I fully believe that everything said here and anywhere else on the internet is being slurped up by some random guy/org's bots.

That's not paranoia btw, believing otherwise would be incredibly naive. So no, I am not upset and I don't think I should be upset. I think you are the one with unrealistic expectations. If it's on the internet it is permanent, gdpr be damned.

Amazing how quickly all of the goalposts are moving so people can desperately try to diminish whatever Apple does. Now it's die size? Or, odder still, die percentage.

Firstly, the A12Z is 8 full cores. The "small" cores aren't limited to a subset of instructions or something, they're made on a more efficient, but lower headroom, tracing. That is a 120mm2 die, versus 197mm2 for the Ryzen 7 3700x (8 cores).

Oh but wait, the 3700x has no integrated graphics, no video encoder/decoder, no 5TFlop neural network, no secure enclave... It's absolutely huge comparatively, and has a tiny fraction of the features.

This whole die size nonsense really isn't turning out, is it?

The 3700X is of course a faster chip (not in single threads, but when all cores are engaged), but that's with active cooling and a 65W+ TDP, versus about 6W for the A12Z. Oh, and it's even a year newer than the Apple chip which is just relevant for a development kit.

Maybe we can prioritize based upon how many "Zen" codenames exist in the product. There the A12Z clearly falters!
