A lot of things give blurriness in VR, with resolution being the easiest to solve by far.
One example is that lens are supposed be perfectly aligned with eyes to see a sharp image, but that is a chore to maintain while moving your head and during an extended timeframe. This is especially annoying to me as often I have one eye focused and the other not. The brain tends to compensate so it's not something you tend to correct immediately and gives fatigue over time. No matter the headset and how much I set it up, this always happens to me.

Another thing I find annoying is that you cannot move your eyes to look around, you must move your head or you will see blurriness.

So yes, long way to go, but it's technology and it will eventually be good enough I believe.

In my experience, TDD has a bit of a similar effect on your perception on a problem.

By first designing the test that would make the code fail, then making sure it fails, then create the code to have the test pass, you kind of change the way you think about the original problem, and it sometimes helps.

The point isn’t really that phone calls are better than video calls or that Slack is better than email or whatever.

The point is that you have to learn to adapt to how other people prefer to communicate. If they like phone calls, you have to learn to make phone calls. If the company prefers video calls, it’s time to get good at video calls.

But you have to at least meet in the middle. One person can’t force the rest of the company to communicate in their preferred channels (unless that person is the CEO)
> Ruby' drop in YJIT barely managed ~20% speed up.

I don't know what they calculated, but if I use the numbers given in the table of https://speed.yjit.org/benchmarks/bench-2021-11-04-071006 I get a factor 1.9 which is much better than the reported 27%.

I don't see that as extraordinary (with literally ZERO knowledge of subs or arctic conditions). According to wikipedia, the lowest recorded temperature is -90.4°F / -68°C.

It seems reasonable for something being built to last generations in hostile conditions to want to be a little better than our recorded 'worst case', right?
I don't think we'll have evindence, before the fact. But I think that they can gain a lot of control over the Linux ecosystem with WSL. If they introduce new features which people like, and don't make them open source, then the open source ecosystem is either forced to play catch-up, or face becoming less attractive. And now we're talking developers, not even regular users. Imagine 5-10 years passing, a slew of newer generation developers entering the job market, all of them raised on Windows, MS Office, GitHub, Visual Studio and WSL. They don't ever need to leave the MS ecosystem to do their work, and I wouldn't be surprised if they would think that a Linux desktop distribution is like a lamer version of something that works so well as part of Windows. And if this happens, that I'd consider the Extinguish phase.
Yeah, there should definitely be a way to have the compiler enforce global usings in only a specific file.
Plenty of people in art and music i know who are very happy with nfts. Theres thousands of people on https://beta.catalog.works/
https://foundation.app/ https://zora.co/

We also get royalties on resales which is great, rather than when i sell vinyl and someone buys a few and then re-lists them at a higher price on discogs and i get nothing. not to mention traditional distribution networks would take 50% of sales straight away.

The reason nfts exist in the first place is because so many in the art/music world are annoyed with what we have and are desperate for alternatives, art world has been building on crypto for years -> https://www.daowo.org/#artists-organise-on-the-blockchain
I believe this sentence should not be taken literally as input from that particular construction worker, but rather be understood in the more general sense of input from the public at large, i.e. non-stakeholders.
You dont buy a few and expect them to work on latest nodes unless you want capacity constrained launch cycle. So it is likely the whole order for that year would go to Intel if they do intend to use it on their 4nm.

TSMC has settled on older generation anyway. Their "slightly" delayed 3nm isn't on GAAFET / Nanowire / Ribbonfet or MBCFET. whatever term they decide to use. ( It is getting worse then their "nm" naming ) and not on High-NA EUV either which is scheduled for their 2nm. Sometime in 2025.

So the lead time may be around a year and a bit more.

And I keep mentioning this everywhere, on HN or Semiwiki and other places. TSMC is a (very) conservative company. Betting on something exotic and not quite ready isn't their thing.
This is why I hammered so hard on if it worked, this would be easy.

Colonizing other planets may or may not be possible, but if it is, everyone expects it will be very difficult. If supersonic flight is easy, it's obvious that it isn't necessarily easy. (It is, of course, possible, and it isn't easy. It's solved, but it's not easy.)

If FTL communication was just a matter of entangling particles and poking them to collapse this way or that, thus sending a message on the other side, it would be easy. It would be a lab demonstration in every college-level quantum mechanics class, right next to the double-slit experiment.

"If you can send a regular signal around the planet faster than you can read a quantum entanglement state, which seems entirely likely (to say nothing of bandwidth), then the technology would never have a useful terrestrial application."

If you haven't read those links ajuc linked in this conversation, you should. It's a very similar idea, getting to QM by taking superluminal relativity seriously. (I suggest this as an "interesting followup" to you point, not disagreement.)

Still, given that the "entangled state" is likely to be as easy as detecting polarization on a photon, since that's the whole point, it doesn't seem likely this would be the case. More likely the case is simply that FTL communication is impossible. You can send an entangled state around the world and read it in two places, no problem, today, plenty quickly. That's how the quantum key distribution works. You just can't communicate with it because you have no influence over how the entangled state collapses.

(In fact, there's a sense in which quantum key distribution works precisely because the properties you'd need for FTL communication don't exist. If they did, quantum key distribution wouldn't work safely!)

> We were able, through materials science, to increase vertical density at the cost of human scale structures.

I’m not sure the two are in opposition. I feel more connected to humanity in NY, Tokyo, Hong Kong than I do in, say, Denver or Orlando.

The economic forces that drive verticality also drive the use of ground level for retail, restaurants, etc.
Everything in life has risks. You might minimize yours by putting a warning up front so you can say "you were warned...".

There was no way to reintroduce scarcity up until now. And now there's money involved. So people go crazy, although not necessarily those people or the industry that should benefit from it.

> I haven't heard owners of signed records making fun of napster/itunes users for "right-clicker mentality" or whatever.

There was no Twitter back then. :-)

But also, as far as I have witnessed it, it was the "right-clickers" that started it. "Hey, coiner, I downloaded your NFT with a simple right-click. How stupid are you to pay money for that?"

If the owners of signed records made fun of mp3 users, the mp3 users might have retaliated as well?
Fair point but I envision more like: I sit in my kitchen table or a coffee shop with a small keybotd and mouse and I experience a multimonitor setup, always the same.

Not something like: I am floating mid air on my skidive and I'll fix a couple of bugs :)
Personally, I believe in the long-term applications of crypto and NFTs. The NFT craze is weird but if it leads to mass adoption then fine by me.

I'm more interested in things like CityDAO where you can buy land and get a city-minted NFT that represents land ownership.
Totally agree. Charlie Munger studied the big ideas of several disciplines, and then applied it into his daily life. He applied the power of solving problems by inversion, which is an idea commonly used in mathematics, to the situations he encountered in real life. As he says "Invert, always invert".
It downclocks my ram to 800mhz if I enable vt in bios. My new cutting edge system turns into a pentium 4. Apparently this is a bug with windows 11. Hope it gets fixed
That might not be why, but the UI elements looks worst, the apps are unified under uglier UI, and by the logic of content it was an unnecessary design change with less accessibility, more complications to make boring UI that needs explanation and all for no benefit to the user. Just look at the iOS 7 news stand icon or the one that’s a red candy cane stripe versus the iOS 6 news stand icon. Who designed the photos icon and what’s it represent if not just designing for design’s sake? He made it minimalist, harder to use, and forced every iOS UI to congregate under a more flawed design. Pretty elements that highlighted the Retina display’s capabilities in the are now replaced by uglier boring design that was probably a practical scaling solution for ease of designing unified UI that was more developed friendly and less user friendly.
It's the slow march of the "business" mindset taking over all decision-making. Buildings are paid for by businessmen, businessmen want to be cheap and follow the crowd, and you end up with the same cheaply built building over and over.
>We've all been complaining about the dangers of centralization, censorship, and impermanence on the modern web

This a social/economic problem, not a technological one.

The Internet itself is built on open protocols and could well be decentralized. Instead we've allowed corporations to build walled gardens on top of it.

Blockchains won't magically solve this. They're just infrastructure, like a cloud database. From a meaningful decentralization perspective, it doesn't matter who's offering their computing resources to make it work.

What matters is the applications and access points that are built on top of the infra. Like the modern Web, this is exactly where we'll see centralization, censorship, etc. happen. Again.
More importantly people don't work like that. In practice most "fake news" are based on quote mining which is easy to disprove without any knowledge of cryptography whatsoever by just checking the original source, but people share this crap without any verification because it conforms to their beliefs.

Technical solutions won't fix social issues.
Been thinking the same thing, we should chat!
GE to split into three separate companies
Aside from everything going to 404, the front page table design is a bit crowded. Maybe there's some way you can even that out a bit. Otherwise, very nice.

I'm curious how you're parsing ingredients. I built a keto recipe search tool a few years ago[0], and I got so into the ingredient parsing problem that I spun that off into a separate service.[1] I still maintain the open source version, if you're interested in using that for stovetop.[2]

I cannot stop thinking about this rant and how funny it is, it's like if Cinemasins would discuss how everyone is tired of Scorsese's films and why we need more Marvel movies on a column in the NYTimes.
Yeah, this is what happened with toilet paper writ large. Then you add in the supply shocks and it is exacerbated. The other issue is that the ports and trucks staffing was already short handed and then they backed off hard during covid. Either prices will rise enough to attract the workers back or we'll just be in this new world for a long time. I definitely can see some business like fast food switching to a drive-thru only model. You need less staff and don't have the interior maintenance costs. Previously that would have hurt their business but people are now used to the wait. I see lines of 20 cars at all fast food drive-thrus most of the time now.
Fake or misleading science these days is used not only for commercial purposes, but also to advance agendas such as those of anti-vaxxers. Just take a look at the hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin crazes.
Not all, but a lot of them.
Of course I enjoy the money, but if I can benefit form it, then so can others.

I'm also into the tech. I enjoy blockchain development and creating NFTs with unique minting/burning mechanisms.
Not just trying to swallow, they have pretty much swallowed it. The one last thing that is missing is `cryptsetup` support in WSL and as soon as that works, I don't see using Linux myself anymore.
Sloth perhaps and seeking the path of least resistance? If they receive no sales commission just check the box and get it done and them out.
I have no idea if there are systems on a submarine that might experience extreme temperatures. But for the hull, since it is constantly surrounded by liquid water, I would expect that it does not regularly experience temperatures less than ~0C. Maybe there's a concern when surfacing in the arctic? That said she obviously shouldn't have faked data whether it was stupid or not.
I'd like to see Ruby deprecate some of the rarely used standard library items.

For example, does Rinda and GDBM need to be in the standard lib? Maybe they're better suited as stand-alone gems?

Similarly, I think it should stop bundling some gems.

I see they are moving some gems from 'default' to 'bundled', which I guess is some sort of deprecation or demotion -- that's great!

I'd also like to see them move development onto Github, that should make it easier for more people to participate.

I wasn't criticizing Pyjion, I was responding to coldtea's comment saying that people who can't run this in production would likely not be interested in trying it. I have zero issue with Pyjion, and I'm also happy with my production setup as is.
Indeed, it's a very silly statement. As if the specific requirement was not meant to be taken literally but the metallurgist should abide to it anyways.

The metallurgist just wanted to save some $$$ by selling rejected/out-of-specs products.
You're taking a digital item and complaining it doesn't exist irl. It's only an "invoice" to the physical world, it can actually be used for things in the digital world, like gaining access to private chat rooms / spaces or getting early access to product drops.
Where is the line between objective science and subjective science? Is the work truly science if it is funded and heavily motivated by industry to increase the industry's profits? Or is it advertising and marketing masquerading as science, cloaking itself in claims of objectivity, when only we educated folk know to follow the money and the affiliations?

If science is a set of methods and tools to discover truth, it does make sense that there are self-interested "parasites" which feed off this reputation for their own ends. Sadly, it does seem these parasites are bad for us: smoking, sugar, hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, low-fat diet lies, not to mention cottage industries of fake internet reviews, bots, trolls, paid shills, who go on forums and social media to sell their snake oil.

Doctors (and nurses) get sued for tiny fraction of their blatantly wrong decisions that cause real harm. Take it from someone whose wife had a stroke at 35 and the triage nurse decided it wasn't worth her seeing a doctor or treating with TPA because they didn't bother to find out when the stroke occurred.

They write the history and it is your word against theirs.

We wont even talk about online "accept conditions" on sites.
The wallet address is your id. So essentially if I create an nft, it is forever associated with my wallet as the creator. I set a royalty amount in the smart contract and the transfer of the nft / token takes place through the contract and automatically sends the percentage of the fee to my wallet. The token does not go directly from A to B, it passes through the contract where the logic to transfer the token is implemented.
One of the main justifications for inventing the Rust Foundation was to have a good place to own Rust's trademarks, which were previously owned by Mozilla.

The foundation is now nine months old, but I don't see any announcement on its website saying that the trademarks have been transferred.

The Rust website [1] says that the Rust trademark is still owned by the Mozilla Foundation.

The README in Rust's git repository [2] says it's owned by the Rust Foundation.

I am distinctly unimpressed by the foundation's communication skills so far.

Here is a 1994 LA Times article on Baud Town BBS (one of my early favorites) in the early nineties

https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-06-17-va-5088-s...

I bought my first modem (1200 baud) off an ad in the Recycler magazine -- it cost $20 (used) if I remember correctly. The standard speed then was 2400 and soon after 9600 if you wanted a FAST connection. (early nineties)
I get nervous every time I see the word “weaponize” in an article.

It is usually talking about some neutral tool (like science or speech or encryption or the Internet) and complaining that people they don’t like are using it in a way they don’t like.

The biggest epistemological advantage of science is that it is self-correcting even in the face of biased scientists. Suppression of science or only allowing science to be used or funded certain ways is self-defeating.
Photographers (and digital artists) commonly already use something called a “Certificate of Authenticity” or COA, a physical document signed by the artist verifying that the item is one of a batch, and that the batch has a fixed, limited size.

NFTs aren’t providing anything beyond what a COA provides, and the COA comes with a physical handwritten signature. Neither is any actual protection against determined forgers. As an occasional artist and photographer, I wonder if the solution to authenticating and valuing digital art is to sell the copyrights along with only a single digital and/or physical copy of the art, and then delete it. Make it unique to the buyer the same way a sculpture or painting is unique.
I get it, I leaned bash and never really saw the need for powershell. I typically would write only very small shell scripts in bash, and everything else in Python.

I had to learn some powershell to deploy a windows application and was immediately impressed by how much better pipelines were with objects vs strings, session object persistence, being able to call C# if needed, and so on.

I reach for powershell when I need something more complicated than is practical for me to do in bash, but notso big or complicated that I would need to go to python. Saves me a lot of time and is pleasant to write.
Teaching programming, comp sci, math aurally?
What are the best oral (audio) materials for introductory instructional learning of programming, computer science, mathematics etc, with no visual presentation? I'm thinking of the huge population of us driving for many hours every day and working in gyms etc.. There are lists like https://bookauthority.org/books/best-computer-science-audiobooks, but they tend not to be instructional or introductory. Do you know of any audio books that actually "speak" the code? I feel there has to be a huge market for this, but it is very difficult to find much of anything.
