> FTC just blocked FB from buying a VR app.

No, the FTC filed a lawsuit to attempt to stop the deal, despite the fact that FTC staff recommended against it.[1] The suit is a political sideshow.

If making a label that complies with Chinese customs is really such a matter of protecting Taiwan, then you should ask these Taiwanese manufacturers to not export their products to China in the first place. Given that they are exporting to China, Apple is correct that they need to comply with China's rules, no matter how arbitrary.

IMO, more people need to learn about marginal thinking. This is the only way we can operate in a complicated, interconnected world, and China is much better at this. When Nike and H&M voiced concerns about Xinjiang, the CPC organized consumer boycotts of these companies. Meanwhile, they happily allowed factories to continue to sell their goods to sell to Nike and H&M. China itself recognizes that it only makes sense to virtue signal when it is economical to do so.
The word to be used is properly called greed. The last attempt to vacuum up money before debt pumped asset bubbles finally burst and the lack of actual economy is globally exposed.

There's no economy when things do not sell, after all. Assets that do not sell or produce have no actual long term value, besides the power play of resource denial.

Conveniently located housing for people would sort of indirectly produce if the economy still was industrial. Or perhaps R&D based. It isn't, therefore it doesn't.
So everything freezes and general populace are serfs, bound by unpayable debt instead of location.

Next step is actual serfdom contracts from corporations.
I don't think "would" is the correct word because it's not really hypothetical. The current system does incentivize such policies.

> Swipe from bottom to switch programs? Swipe from top left and top right to get different (IMPORTANT!) panels? Why are three lines a "Menu"? But sometimes it's dots, or a gear icon, and they're never in the same place. On iPhone, there's no real unified "Back" button - chase it down from application to application with different context and result every time. On Android, unified buttons (including reliable and predictable "back") exist but their location and icons are not intuitive either.

The single, physical home button was fucking genius and iOS6 and earlier were the only operating systems I've ever seen that my very-old-and-with-significant-mental-decline grandmother might have been able to use regularly without a ton of help.

Then iOS7 came out, and later they got rid of the home button. So much for that.

> On Android, unified buttons (including reliable and predictable "back")

If the back button's reliable, that's a recent development. It spent at least a decade being the "YOLO" button that might do any damn thing. Absolutely terrible, and complete usability poison for non-nerd users. Or maybe this was sarcasm and I'm missing it.
I don't think people appreciate just how violent the late 90's hard rock shows routinely were, and the mindset of the majority of the people attending them. Venues would routinely get trashed, large fights would break out, it was something else. Woodstock 99 turned out much like everyone would have expected it to at the time, just on a scale not previously seen.
I don't think Amazon is losing money, but investing it. Which is entirely different situation than Uber.

At this point Uber should have ready product and it should have already entered most markets it can. So where are they wasting money?
The Manhattan Project was successful, because there was a real pressure to get groundbreaking results quickly. Similar pressures don't exist in the academia or the industry in normal times. If a company fails, the worst case is generally bounded by the value of the company. People are not that motivated to get results, because the alternative is probably no worse than bankruptcy. There is no looming threat of slavery or death for employees, shareholders, and their friends and family.

Covid vaccines were a recent example of similar pressures. The academia and the big pharma – the establishment – managed to create many effective vaccines in a record time, because people had real reasons to achieve something.

> He doesn't seem to have invested anything in "atoms" at all

What are you talking about?

Just from their website (https://foundersfund.com/portfolio/) Founders Fund invested in SpaceX, Anduril, Varda Space, DeepMind, Synthego, 8Sleep, Oculus and ScaleAI, every single of which are deep tech startups.

Hell, the only other VC that have kept pace with that level of 'Atoms' investing is Khosla Ventures and Lux Capital.
Google search is generally so much worse than it used to be. They are improving search with quotes... great thanks please also make it really just contain exact phrases (at least for me I often get none exact results even with quotes). Location is terribly annoying if I'm in France and go to Google.de maybe I do want German results, not google thinking just because I have an IP from a certain place I want results from that place (do Google employees not travel?). I now seem to often enough get results which might not contain any of the search results I'm looking for, I guess because somehow a ML algorithm thought they might be relevant (hint, usually they are not). And then there are all these content regurgitators which for some topics just guarantees completely irrelevant results.

I admit not all of this is Googles fault, but somehow everybody largely optimising (and exploiting) for the Google algorithm, makes it worse for them. Alternative engines seem to fare better, and I guess less Google dominance is a good thing.
I've been part of shipping one of perhaps the largest used Godot projects in production. It's not a game, and you may not even realize it's Godot. Godot is below average in quality compared to Unreal, and probably about on par with various idiosyncrasies that Unity has.

Unreal is winning the technical race because they ship projects and games themselves with their engine. Unity does none of that, at least nothing that counts. Godot is a bit better than Unity because it's open-source so contributors are often contributing to things they use and want to improve, but it's still got weird opinions at a maintainer level and severe performance downfalls from those opinions.

We're considering another renderer, but for the time being we're still tepidly okay with Godot.
oh god yes...

> Honestly unless you're required to run windows

Or Linux, at this stage. Apple silicon support is not good enough yet to be a pleasant experience. Sure, an x86 laptop doesn't compete with power efficiency of the M1/M2 - might be useful if you regularly need to go multiple days without power, but my x86 laptop already gets more than 8 hours battery which is "good enough", and is just as fast for development usage (I have an M1 MBP too, I have tested this side by side).

As a bonus I have full control of the hardware and the software that I want to run on it. I almost never reach for the Macbook unless I need to test something OSX specific.
Yup. People would be surprised just how rough the fit of stuff cut to size and lined up on site. Manufactured frames, panels and modules can be built to much tighter tolerances with the benefit of an orderly indoor environment and often precision cuts from CNC machines too.
Did you learn nothing from the Prisoner's Dilemma?

We don't actually have any options that leverage massive economies of scale and manufacture in the US, because our masters chose to ship the manufacturing overseas. Individual agency is trumped by control of the rules, that's the whole point of PD. Pretending that our wallets have agency is a con to fool us out of using the tool that would actually be effective: regulation.
I do the same thing -- TO START.

Initial notes are almost always on paper, in a good notebook, written with a fountain pen. I also almost always have a small notebook and pen on my person.

BUT once something becomes a real project I need to track, or if the notes are important enough that I want them searchable later, I transcribe and summarize into the appropriate Orgmode buffer.

I retain things written longhand better, but this act of review & summarization is like a turbocharger for that recollection. (Not for nothing, but one old-school study hack I read about back in the 80s was "type up your class notes". It dated from an era before computers, so it wasn't about search or indexing. It was about the act of review inherent in the transcription.)
I can't tell if this is a GPT-3 comment or not.
I have almost no audible notifications and when i switched years ago it was a huge improvement to my stress levels!

That said, notifications need to be a lot more sophisticated before they aren't just pointless noise. Currently it's like they're at iteration two or three and they need to be refined loads more.

Smarter ways to carve them up are needed with sensible defaults. The big challenge though, as others highlight, is the conflict of interest developers have vs users.

My preference for many would be to only notify on a surprising change. Getting a computer to know what is/isn't surprising can be awkward in some cases, but with things like the weather, it's obvious: if tomorrow is +/- 5° different to today tell me, if it's dramatically different weather tell me (eg clear going to major rain) but otherwise why would i need to be prompted for weather when i can go look it up if i happen to have special reason to want to know the forecast.
Yes. Frankly, the continued over centralisation of the country around London seems to me to be the single greatest threat to the future prosperity of the country
Uniball vision rollerball pens basically glide on the page, and they're portable unlike fountain pens. They're also significantly cheaper than buying a fountain pen + ink(s). As much as I love writing with my Sailor ProGear Slim F/EF nib fountain pens, inks + traveling = a nice mess waiting to happen.

I had a pelikan souveran r800 that was refillable, but sadly I lost it on one of my return trips. Now I just travel with 3 leuchtturm notebooks (A6-grid, A5-grid, B5-lines-softcover) and a bunch of uniball pens.

That is one rather weak provocation. Compare that to the CCP launching missiles over the island of Taiwan. Who is provoking whom?
Anything beyond surface level is difficult to extract from the documentation and that hurts a lot. From the new user experience, the Godot IDE still feels buggy. Features (like the inspector) populate with values from code sometimes and sometimes not, because of complicated rules or you get the fun blank file script names or dupes when resources are changed/moved/deleted.

Not sure what you’re talking about. I own an X and have no issues. Never experienced a breakdown. All service center activities I had were done within a couple of hours. Certainly never had to fall back on another car. We still own an ICE (a Mercedes), and that one is in service about three times as often as the Tesla.
I had a bad case of phantom vibration syndrome[0] about 10 years ago. The smallest vibration and I thought it was a call. I addressed this by turning my phone to silent. No ringtones or vibrations to alert me of a call, just a small screen interruption that tells me there's a call, and that's it. I also disabled every single notification for every app, including those annoying 'badges' that tell you how many unread emails sit in your Inbox.

I also schedule calls more than I did 10 years ago. For example, I may tell a colleague or friend: ring me at 8PM. Then I can be emotionally prepared for a call, without a call catching me off-guard. I'm a nervous person who finds most calls distressing, and sometimes I literally just stare at my phone's screen during an incoming call and just hope they hang up.

After thinking about this for a minute, I think the point wasn’t that people shouldn’t have fallen for this in particular, but to give everything a tint of uncertainty. It’s a pretty clear cut example of “no matter how believable it was, it can still be not even a little bit true”. In many contexts I’d call that a rather unproductive observation, but in the context of fake news, we have many people perceiving different realities built on a whole network of strong beliefs about what exists and what happened. Uncertainty about everything is probably actually exactly what’s needed to break free of a grip like that.
>If you don't know what to get a degree in

I'd suggest economics or business for the same reasons... accounting is a very "hands-on" degree, whereas economics will give you a broader perspective on the world. Same goes for business - we're all in business, whether we realize it or not. Both econ and business are good background for a range of careers or paths of additional study.
Unreal is ahead for a couple of reasons (mainly historical + money) and they target industries outside of games as well now - namely film productions.

With that said most big AAA companies still use their proprietary game engines and I don't see that changing. General purpose engines like Unreal/Unity/Godot have their place of course, but to use the full set of features of Unreal you need a big team anyways, so comparing it to Unity and Godot doesn't seem right to me at least. Godot is slowly eating Unity's lunch though. Especially given the direction that Unity has taken after their IPO they might be in trouble in the near future.

Also there are some crazy people (like me) that just write their own engines for the projects they are doing and here's hoping that in time our number will actually grow. It would be very sad if the game engine world ends up like the OS or browser world for example.
It seems to me...

There may be at least two forks in the road - take one of them.

Consider this: you can continue to improve a) your skills and knowledge and b) software engineering itself.

Or, you can use what you know and are learning to help fix the planet, by which I mean: look around: political polarization prevents finding solutions to massive, urgent, and wicked problems - problems made wicked because society has forgotten how to collaborate. Do we need WWIII to bring us together? Do we need complete collapse of some major region due to climate change to bring us together? Or, can we, as software engineers, scientists, and human beings use our massive and growing skills and knowledge to help society sort things out?

Couple of forks in the road. Pick one.
Even small companies can create competitive high-end renderers today so it's not much of a differentiator. Filmmaking is about human talent mostly, not technology. (Same thing happened in live-action filmmaking, anyone can afford the equipment today.)

But there's a huge advantage to being the first high-end renderer to go open source, so lots of small studios will adopt it if it's as solid as it looks.

It'll become available in Blender.

Maintenance will then get extended to the community, including (most likely) support for alternate shading schemes (MaterialX/Lama has decent momentum right now, converging with Sony's OpenShadingLanguage).

Apache 2.0 is an ideal license for this kind of project.
What most strikes me about this write-up is how awful the bands are. 1999 was clearly a nadir for mainstream rock.

Even a truly graceful piece of writing (which this is not) is going to have trouble building a dramatic climax if it has to be soundtracked by Sevendust.
Microphones in all horizontal directions and two in the vertical, hung by a wire from the ceiling of a venue. We recorded the results using an Alesis ADAT 8-track multitrack (swapping VHS tapes was my very important job.) The "secret sauce" was some kind of binaural post-processing that allowed you to hear all three dimensions through a horizontal array of speakers, but I never got into those details.

The goal was ultimately to stream extremely high-quality concert audio to the home: people felt that stereo and even 5.1 was too restrictive. This was in the early days when everyone was trying to find killer apps for high-bandwidth broadband connections, so sure, why not.

ETA-- Another memorable experience in this project was playing the Woodstock tapes for Jimmy Buffett when he flew his seaplane in to check out the technology. We were very careful to point out that you could hear the drum circle :)
"Yes"?

The whole point of these models is to make up something that seems "realistic", but not regurgitate the original contents. If that's not hallucination I don't know what is.
A lot of people just reuse empty cartridges a few times by refilling them with a blunt tip syringe (sold by most online pen/ink shops), using whatever ink they want.
I have had nearly the opposite experience, for what it's worth. Long conversations with non-technical family members about the pervasiveness of tracking and surveillance. A lot of them share my hatred for social media platforms and identify the 'correct' (in my opinion) issues with these platforms (pseudo-quantification of opinion via like buttons instead of nuanced interactions, mercurial algorithms tailored to individuals destroying any sense of shared reality, etc.).

Of course, none of them will actually take the leap and leave these platforms as I have, but I think people are willing to actually recognize these issues. Just depends on who they are. Maybe if you're talking with people you could talk about how this surveillance isn't just used for ads, that the data collected by advertisers is purchased by law enforcement agencies to circumvent legal requirements for warrants, that the police (in the US) with zero oversight can track your every movement via these databases, in open contravention of the spirit of the laws that "regulate" them.

Also, I think that the corpo line that surveillance results in "better" ads is simply untrue. I've heard so many people complain about irrelevant ads being served to them. I think there is a growing group of people who feel insulted by the shallow way they are typecast by these ads. A family member who is a carpenter who gets advertised consumerist "manly" products comes to mind. Because ultimately they are not serving you what you want, they are serving you what you are statistically most likely to click on. And at least most people I have asked, have never even clicked on an Instagram or Facebook ad. So the ads presented to "you" are really being presented to a consumerist ad-clicker alternate reality version of you, it is a fundamental disconnect. I think the value advertisers gain from increased "engagement" on ads is increasingly being paid for in the form of alienation of the kinds of people who will simply never respond to this kind of advertising.
I meant “universal” as in “every government”, not as on “all across America.”

Every government does this.
I mean…absolutely. The original Woodstock was as seedy as any other music festival. I used to perform at festivals as a semi-touring musician, but the culture, even at its best, is questionable. I quit when I found serious evidence of human trafficking going on at some fairly mainstream festivals.

But I mean, come on. People weren’t setting fire to shit. There wasn’t this massively widespread destruction of property, riots or violence in the original Woodstock. It was just sketch. There’s a huge difference.
There might be a content-warning flag or something for the unwary on this site. This comment is about the mentions of sexual assault in the post.

> the subsequent sexual misconduct

According to some other first-hand accounts of the people who were victims of this "misconduct," it would be more accurate to call it _assault_.

> And while I didn’t personally witness anything as serious as those accusations, I don’t find them at all hard to believe, given the tenor of the event by the end of the weekend. You couldn’t go more than five minutes without seeing a topless woman being fondled by a random stranger.

It sounds like the author may have witnessed sexual assault several times and it didn't even register in their minds.

Update and the author is writing this as a person in their 40s now with the gift of hindsight, #MeToo, etc.
