I don't think it's a fad; however, I do thing tech underestimates how culture operates in cycles. Things that are popular today often become unpopular tomorrow. This is easily observable if you study history, especially 20th century American and Western history. Everyone always thinks that the current ethos will continue forever...but it inevitably reverses itself.

Approached from this angle, I would guess that an anti-tech, anti-VR counterculture will arise in the late 2020s and last for a decade or two. VR feels like the local peak of hyper-technology-worship to me and I predict that in the coming decades, there will be more of a focus on local, offline, nature-oriented culture. Again, because this is the natural reaction to a hyper-technological culture.

I think your point on holograms is essentially correct. No one wants to wear a headset everyday to work. A pair of glasses might be better, but VR/AR will never truly take off until it's indistinguishable from real life.

Using my model above, I think we can expect VR/AR to get serious everyday use sometime by the mid 2060s, which is when it will start to be fluid enough to meld with reality.

Decades? Bandwidth for global scale videoconferencing didn't exist even 10 years ago, especially in poorer parts of the world. Speeds like 8Mbps/1Mbps or even 8/512kbps over ADSL were common. People also had much weaker hardware.

I think the switch to remote work started to really happen just as it actually became practical for a sufficient percentage of people, which is basically now.

There should be a singer which sings in Toki Pona. It's pretty common for singers to invent their own languages, for example Enya or Elisabeth Fraser(Cocteau Twins).

> since nobody was actually willing to pay for the product

That's not necessarily true. In fact I don't think that holds at all. They've bought smartphones and laptops for hundreds and thousands of dollars and pay many tens of dollars every month to access the Internet. People are already paying quite a bit to access content on the Internet.

The problem with paying for most types of content is the content is not worth the amount of money it's practical to charge for it. Charging money on the Internet is expensive and has lower bounds below which no one will even conduct a transaction. That lower bound is about a dollar and so many transaction fees come out of it a seller is not going to end up with a whole dollar and the buyer will end up paying more than a dollar.

A blog post, gif, or YouTube video is not worth a dollar. For most people they're not even worth a whole penny. They're certainly not worth an up front payment sight unseen.

In the early days of the Internet charging for content was even less practical and more expensive than today.

Advertising on the Internet, like advertising in other media, is a way to "charge" users some fractional penny to access some content. In aggregate the content creator can make money based traffic. While AdTech has reached asinine levels of intrusiveness the concept of advertising isn't necessarily bad. It also doesn't exist just because users are cheapskates.

Toki Pona is great as an introduction into language learning.

As many English speaking people seem to be functionally monolingual they could greatly benefit from learning it.

It would probably be the human language equivalent of a pure Java programmer spending a weekend hacking Lisp in broadening your horizon.

Even if you don't end up using Toki Pona, you will still benefit greatly from it. Due to its small size you will be able to acquire a certain "mastery" over it in just a few days which can be greatly motivating for tackling bigger languages.

From wikipedia [1]:

> Garum is a fermented fish sauce which was used as a condiment in the cuisines of Phoenicia, ancient Greece, Rome, Carthage and later Byzantium. Liquamen is a similar preparation, and at times they were synonymous. [...] Like the modern fermented soy product soy sauce, fermented garum is a rich source of umami flavoring due to the presence of glutamates.

TL;DR summary: The actual glass the lab flasks were made of mattered.

Miller's lab flasks were made of borosilicate glass and this caused more organic compounds to form than a more truly inert Teflon flask. But Earth's crust is over 90% silicates which could have similarly contributed to the formation of organic compounds in ancient pre-life earth.

Compiled, very good type system, meta programming.
Very different from Python while still feeling a lot like Python (and looking like it). Very enjoyable and very rich for learning. Portable and sort of universal (from embedded to front end). A real gem.

I would use this for personal growth since community is small (there are some but very few job opportunity). In particular if you want to try open source, it is probably much easier to have an impact on the ecosystem with Nim than with Python (where a lot has already been built).

AR/VR are just one of the surfaces. I think it will be sort of "Second Life" on industrial scale. It would be available in all places. Most people will probably end up using in 2D.

It is like a drug and could be a big business.
One reason I have found real-time communication ineffective is that it favors the narcissists and egoists in the conversation who are comfortable talking over everyone else.

Guess what happens in this situation – Bob spends 40 minutes talking out of the hour's meeting about how his way is right, interrupts everyone, and by the end of the hour meeting the boss is saying “Well, why don't we do a proof of concept with Bob's suggestion” simply because everyone is bored and hungry. Meanwhile, Jane had a novel and imaginative idea that went completely ignored because Bob kept cutting her off saying why it wouldn't work early on when she was trying to explain the concept.

Oh, and did I say that this interruption and talking for a long time seems to get ten time worse over video calls for some reason – perhaps because Bob finds it easier to pontificate while in his pajamas compared to having to stand up and talk in front of his peers in the office.

Yeah, I know the standard retort for this is "your meeting must have an agenda" et cetera. Guess what, look at the last 5 meetings on your calendar and tell me truthfully how many of them have a real agenda (mindlessly repeating the title as the description doesn't count). People don't want to do it, because, guess what, it adds an element of asynchronous communication when you have to think of the agenda ahead of time.

So, I have found that just going the whole way and just having the entire communication asynchronously is often better at ensuring more equitable participation.
That seems to also be a disguised pitch against the proposed unrealized gains tax. Whether that tax is good or bad or has fixable problems, I don't know, but there was some clear self-interest going on in that tweet thread.
Same here. However according to some voices here and in the media, we are "losers" for thinking that way.
> It's the physics equivalent of being an anti-vaxxer

I think that's really unfair.

"Anti-vaxxer" is a glib put-down. I'm actually double-vaccinated, but I think there are rational arguments for avoiding vaccination. I just don't happen to agree with them. The term "anti-vaxxer" is used to refer to anyone that you think doesn't listen to reason. It's used to dismiss ill-educated gun-toting wing-nuts.

I had a 20-minute conversation with my physician, before I took the vaccine. He took me seriously. He didn't tell me I was a wing-nut.

So maybe I have some nutty notions. But let's be honest: black holes, the Big Bang, and supernova explosions, are all pretty fruity ideas. Let's not get into String Theory. I'm not suggesting these ideas are wrong; just that they seem at first glance to be about as fruity as astrology. When I first heard of supernovas, nobody had ever observed one.
This seems like little more than a parlor trick.

First, a true "exhaustive search" is actually impossible. The cantor space is uncountable (which can be seen by prepending '0.' before every binary sequence which gives the real number interval [0,1).) But an exhaustive search will visit all elements in some order which provides an ordering. Thus its existence implies that the cantor space is countable. Contradiction. The post gets around this by only looking at the first n elements of every binary sequence: f,g and h evaluate little more than the 7th digit. Sure, exhaustively searching 2^7 elements can be done in less than a second, why is this new?

> In fact, e.g. the function type Integer -> Integer doesn’t have decidable equality because of the Halting Problem, as is well known. However, common wisdom is not always correct, and, in fact, some other function types do have decidable equality, for example the type Cantor -> y for any type y with decidable equality, without contradicting Turing.

I fail to see how this can be true. We can set y = Integer, since integers have decidable equality. Then we can encode every integer as an element of cantor space by converting it into binary with the least significant digit first (and using the 0th element of the sequence to distinguish positive and negative integers) and padding the sequence with zeros towards infinity. Then two functions f,g : Integer -> Integer are equal iff their transformed representations f . p, g . p : Cantor -> Integer are equal. Thus functions from the cantor space having decidable equality implies functions from the integers having decidable equality which "solves" the halting problem. Again the post gets around this by only looking at the first few elements... but equality of functions f,g : Integer -> Integer is trivially decidable if f and g are zero for integers bigger than some N, so how is this new?
What if it was easy to see why a test is flaky, compare failed/successful test runs like a code diff? Would that be useful?

A phrase like "the normal conclusion" is itself propaganda, implying that anyone is abnormal who would have skepticism about whatever SideburnsOfDoom thinks; a thinly veiled shaming of, not even dissent, but mere neutrality and open-mindedness being faced with two parties offering conflicting narratives.

Imagine standing before a judge and saying, after he's heard the plaintiff's and defendant's cases, "Your honor, if you doubt the normal conclusion, it's likely that you have been swayed by propaganda."

Propaganda is everywhere, especially on the Internet. But of all the stories about which to imply that anyone who doesn't immediately choose sides against one party must have been propagandized--a legal dispute? Who's the biased one here?

it puts an element of asynchronous communication when you have to think of the agenda ahead of time.

Oh, the difficultly of getting people to think about things in advance. The number of meetings where it's clear that basically nobody has actually put any thought in, done any research, even read the entire meeting invitation.

Meetings become a way to force people to spend time on a topic, and the act of being there where everyone can see them means they can't goof off and do something else again.

I have actually felt "connect the people" is very naive and cause of virtually all of their problems. It matters who are you connecting to whome. Are you connecting terrirists to other tterrirists? Are you connecting pedophiles to their potential victims? All connection tools are massive amplifiers for the adversaries and if they are left uncheck then disadvantage can overwhelm the advantage. I think their mission should be connecting the right people for the good purpose. The problem is these adjectives are hard to define except probably at the extremes.
