Haha I thought the same thing with the surgeon picture. Presumably he’s operating. And that surgeon isn’t wearing any eye protection in fact which does happen but isn’t something you’d advertise.
> It could be a gambit to track your eyes but that seems even harder with worse reward than taking a 30% cut as the next App Store.

No these are the same thing. Tracking pupil response to stimuli tells advertisers how a human is reacting to what they see. It lets Meta sell a platform to advertisers where they can target humans in particular emotional states, or at certain times when that individual is more likely to make a purchase.

That doesn't mean it wasn't a state actor, the act itself can be done by anyone but knowing which cables to cut for maximum effect does require knowledge.

Considering it was two cables I wonder if they were part of the same fibre ring. Usually with those if the cable gets cut the traffic can route the other way around the loop. This is why they use rings instead of simple links.

It's because fibre cables are easy to cut by mistake, a digging machine will cut through it without knowing. Unlike the old backbone cables of old that were thick as a sewer pipe and carried thousands of cable pairs and heavy armour.

I was so happy to see John Carmack leading the charge a few years ago, using Oculus to push for low-latency and high frame rate.

I think it’s because of him and others like him that we now have 240Hz displays, talk about OLED pixel responsiveness being much higher, and real industry progress around reducing the latency throughout the total pipeline.

I remember a time not that long ago when people were trying to argue that “the human eye sees at 60fps”. We’ve thankfully come a long way since then and I am hopeful for a future where we finally get lower latency than the old tech.
I appreciate this piece of insight. It’s helping me find a balance.
Your first video is Magic Leap 1 unless I missed something. The second two are about what you can expect, though, and pretty close to what you got with the Hololens 2 a couple years ago, except with better FoV and performance. For me personally, it's very much still not "there" as more than a novelty or tool for very specific use cases.
> It’s clear you have an ax to grind against the term capitalism

I have no idea what that means. I think you're mixing up political/policy punditry with descriptions of how the physical world actually works. The two are different (and often only very vaguely related).

> Environmental degradation is not limited to, or primarily occurring in, capitalist societies

Not relevant here (as it's not a claim I make).

> Economic growth to a significant degree has been decoupled from resource usage

Not even close, and 'resource usage' isn't the salient concept here.

> population growth is not solved

Population growth drops, (perhaps too far - to below replacement), everywhere with decent social security and health provision (where the latter includes birth control).

In this case, possibly because it wasn't a leak, just somebody making a (possibly job-ending) mistake. LCFC appears to be a Lenovo subsidiary that is part of their laptop etc. design; the initial commit in the git repository (saw a screenshot somewhere — not going to touch that code) appears to be recent, from a user using their work account (name prefixed with "LCFC\" which may indicate Windows domain login), with their work email. The repository was in a GitHub organization called "LCFCASD", presumably a subgroup within the company.
the earth makes all sorts of horrible noises across the spectrum.

I think that it's unfair to use that as a defense of sonar unless you're certain that the number hasn't been trending upwards since the beginning of sonar usage.

if whale navigation is somehow affected by strange very high or very low noises it's not outside the realm of possibility that there have been plenty of whales beached simply due to tectonic/planetary movement inducing confusion.

Cost apart, can firestore ( firebase ) can handle this much data ?
I appreciate the ambition to reduce the complexity and tooling overheads. Unfortunately, I doubt we could define a sufficiently general API for the kind of functionality you’re talking about. There is too much variety in the applications we now build with web technologies.

Maybe we could do it for simple CRUD application UIs that are built using lightly styled forms and tables. To be fair, that might already be a substantial proportion of all web UI development.

But the kind of data binding you’re talking about wouldn’t help at all with implementing a word processor, an FPS game or a data-heavy app built around interactive visualisations. A foundation where UIs are built from simple pieces of DOM derived directly from corresponding variables in JS would severely restrict what we could build on top.

Very correct. I’ve used many many different types of AR headsets and the ease of being able to come on and off is important. Because when I’m working on something with it on, I may need a more keen eye to inspect or maybe the overlays get in the way or maybe I need to write something down…..
The COVID theory is interesting. I'm going through it as well, and did have COVID. I however assumed it was just the generally depressing nature of everything going on.

You're in a climate crisis and going to all die or starve or go to war soon. You're a racist and transphobe because you don't care enough to keep up with everything or participate. You're a communist because you think health care should be free. Want a house? Yeah fuck off companies and landlords are buying them and you'll rent like a good citizen, and pay more for the privilege. Got a raise? Fuck you again inflation is going to take it all back and more. Got kids? Well, they probably won't get shot at school today, but thoughts and prayers just in case.

And that's just American happenings, not even getting into global conflicts.

Shein and the Tech Cold War
This is a really cool project, but I would recommend the designs based on this one.

Adereth had access to a very nice 3d printer when designing the dactyl, so it's difficult to print one with fdm.

I love this project, and it introduced me to lisp, but I disagree with the adjective "parameterized". There are almost no real parameters that can be changed without reworking most of the project.

The crux of the project is mapping a 2d key layout onto a 3d form,firm, but that form is hard-coded as 2 intersecting circles.

None of this matters. If you search through the article (or the original article that claimed the ban), you will not find the word "lithium". I don't see how this rathole on lithium batteries has anything to do with the article.

> Why does this happen

I wrote up my hypothesis here: https://hasen.substack.com/i/52275953/why-the-situation-pers...

Basically, programmers love complexity.

If they can't solve real problems, they will create fake problems so they can solve them.

They might not realize that's what they're doing.

Programmers love solving puzzles. It's why they program. The problem arises when they can't solve the real puzzle due to lack of experience (and lack of skill which comes from lack of practice), they solve secondary and tertiary puzzles that contribute nothing to the real problem at hand.

Instead of "How can I write 1000 lines of code to solve this problem?" they opt for "how can I configure these 20 libraries and glue them together so that a solution to the problem emerges from their interaction?"
Most gen X and Z aren't working very hard. At least if you look at public schools and universities across the country, and the sentiment on r/antiwork. Many are putting in the bare minimum.

The entire point of the above comment and the article, they're not working hard because the millennials and those who have worked hard are still struggling and cannot make rent making three jobs. So there is seemingly no point. In the past, you put extra effort in university to get a well-paying job and your job to get a promotion; now there are people with Master's degrees who work in McDonald's and it seems like promotions only go to relatives.

You can run at 5k pace to finish a 5k, but you cannot run at 5k pace for an indefinite amount of time. Similarly, younger generations would push themselves harder if they believe it would make their future lives easier, but they don't.

Kind of scary how effectively the software industry has trained an entire world full of users to pay for something and not expect a finished product in return. Now this mentality is creeping into the world of hardware devices.
No.

Scylla has also stalled in support of features that Cassandra offers, which is strange because they came out of the gates like gangbusters. It is not the drop in replacement they advertise.

But I'm not going to tell you "don't use scylladb". They have lots of educational whitepapers for maxing I/O and hardware that apply both to cassandra and scylladb.

The biggest thing with cassandra and scylla is that you need a technical management to understand the headaches, and appreciate the silent benefits. Cassandra places often have frustrated management about the cassandra management problems, but when I ask "has your cluster ever gone down?" and they say no, even across major version upgrades and the like, expansions, etc.

Also keep in mind that cassandra also has a tendency to make your big data bigger with timestamps-per-cell, replicas, etc.

I'd think the opposite is true. Interruption is natural, and prolonged sedentary focus is a human invention.

You’re both essentially saying the same thing: this copyright dynamic is a vehicle for investment capitalism. And I’m not pointing this out to be glib, just recognizing that this particular line of advocacy is somewhere along the spectrum between “the thing you observe is working as designed” and “that’s good, actually”.

Which is a view you’re welcome to hold, but I’d certainly prefer a system designed for people who engage in creative work to have a greater share of what they create, and for the economics of creative work to not be so deeply entrenched in wealth consolidation for its own sake.

Disclaimer: the sum total I’ve been paid for purely creative work is approximately $11 from my share of ticket sales and a couple of drinks on the house. Which is $11 dollars more than I ever sought out, because I realized making a living as an artist had dim prospects before I even got a chance to try.

That's close to my plan, but I quickly realized I needed to rigorously learn a minimum amount of cpp to write that layer correctly. I've never bound to this templated and complex a cpp library before.

(My exact plan is to expose a tiny API with very straightforward data structures. I'll then write simple Rust bindings to that. I need web and native. I've explored enough to think that compiling the cpp to a wasm module via emscripten and then manually writing Rust to call functions in a different wasm module should be feasible)

By default redis will drop your data when under memory pressure. It’s a different thing.
Yeah you're probably right, definitely developed by a mystery man who just hasn't felt like cashing in the $50 billion from his wallet.
That's not really the problem. Even developers as incompetent as Hello Games are capable of tacking endless bonus content on their space sim - the issue is that Star Citizen continually lied about the features it would have and the date it would release. That, combined with the endless addition of things that nobody asked for has led most of the community to become completely disenfranchised with the game.

It's safe to say this game is stuck in development hell. Here, let's list all of the major features that hit the game in the past 3 months:

- Made many adjustments to the speeds of ground vehicles

- Window Interior Mapping Shader

- Added New Ship: RSI Scorpius

- Lighting Polish Pass for Hurston Volumetric Clouds

- Paints can now be stored in personal and ship inventories to allow players to move them around the PU. Added paints filter to inventory tabs.

I'm not sure if you've ever worked on a major software product before, but if this is the changelog for an entire quarter at your multimillion-dollar game studio, your project is doomed.
To be clear, I was talking about binary drivers supplied by AMD and Nvidia for the most common GPUs that are attached externally. Not about the fact that they were external.

MacOS has built in drivers for plenty of GPUs, including AMD, Nvidia, Apple and Intel. But on the ARM64 side, AMD and Nvidia have not made any drivers for Windows or macOS, so you are out of luck on the software side.
For starters:

- Use a better a GC like Azul's C4.

- Leverage monitoring to shard off hot spots.

- If possible, get away from CPU- & memory-inefficient JVM and dynamic languages.

- Steer clear from ScyllaDB and its radioactive license. And, there's little customer demand for it. Astra DB for a commercial distro or YugabyteDB is from the folks behind Cassandra.

- Optimize persistence with multiple choices of backends that abstract away the underlying datastore: the eases the pain of going through "divorce" from any particular technical solution. Writes vs. Reads ratios, geographic replication, object size, data structure (K/V, tuplestore, time series, files, etc.)

Yeah, I see it everywhere. Where I think the loss of productivity is though is that people burnout and teams at companies are hitting and inflection point where they have too many people coming and going and that is creating inefficiencies and wasted time. I don’t think people suddenly stopped working hard. I think work hasn’t been as conducive to, well, work in many places.
This is pretty much true. Unfortunately this comes with the downside of high heat from the video card , but I suppose if you buy a gaming laptop for the sole purpose of business, that wouldn’t be a problem.

There are many gaming laptops that are more serviceable than business laptops. However, they also tend to be heavier.

It’s a trade off I guess

If you had almost no emotions how would you make plans or decisions?
Welcome to my life.
What you describe is best practice for older versions of Cassandra with older versions of the Oracle JVM on spinning disks. And at this time Apple already had a massive amount of Cassandra nodes. Back when 1TB disks were what we had started buying for our servers. Cassandra was designed to run on large numbers of cheap x86 boxes, unlike most other DBs where people had to spend hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars on mainframes and storage arrays to scale their DBs to the size they needed.

Half a TB per node, which during regular compaction can double. And if you went over, your CPU and disk spent so much time on overhead such as JVM garbage collection that your compaction processes backlog, your node goes slower and slower, your disk eventually fills up, and it falls over. Later things got better and you could use bigger nodes if you knew what you were doing and didn't trip over any of the hidden bottlenecks in your workload. Maybe even fixed in the last few versions of Cassandra 3x and 4.0.
> Other than Oracle with their port to Solaris, most ports of the PF subsystem happened before the OpenBSD 4.7 NAT rewrite, and for that reason they have kept the previous syntax intact.

It’s worth noting that the FreeBSD port has evolved in its own way and is SMP-capable despite keeping the “old” syntax: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-pf/2012-Septembe...
I believe this is the case, with many smaller nodes per physical host.

I’ve seen this type of design pattern implemented successfully with a variety of extremely large databases.
