The "model minority myth" occurs when someone takes population-wide trends and applies it on an individual level: e.g. "he's Asian, so he must be good at math". That's stereotyping.

Pointing at demographic trend in academic achievement isn't the model minority myth, it's an empirical observation. Conflating objective facts with the model minority myth is perhaps well intentioned, but it comes off as a shallow attempt to deny real world observations. Asians Americans, on average do spend more time on academics, and do enter fields like medicine and engineering at higher rates. This is an empirical observation, not the model minority myth. Similarly, there's nothing racist or white supremacist about examining disparities in time spent on academics. If someone takes this data and then judges individuals for population-wide averages, then that's stereotyping and I do not condone that.

I'm not sure what your intent was with your last paragraph, but it comes off as an overzealous attempt to portray any analysis of time spent on academics as racist. I certainly wouldn't want someone to assume I'm personally less intelligent than my Asian co-worker because I'm Cuban. But I trust that most people are able to understanding that averages are not the same as individuals. And I find the pattern of people being worried that I'd be offended by data on Latin americans' academic achievement condescending. I am smart enough to understand that data saying Latin Americans on average spend less time on academics than whites or asians is not an attack on me personally, thank you very much.
See https://pibox.io/ + https://kubesail.com/ for a low-energy, small, Raspberry Pi-driven, quiet option. I have been running one of them running in our basement for about a month. KubeSail, the startup that sells them, offer DNS and backup services, but the box has been designed to run also in the case the company eventually disappears.
In a way this is exactly what they said about GUI in 1983. People looked at the early products like Apple Lisa and Xerox Star, and said: “Serious businesses aren’t going to be spending thousands of dollars per user on gimmicks like the mouse and high-resolution graphics. Office tasks don’t need that.” — And they were right, but only within the narrow field of what office work on computers was like in 1983. WordPerfect and 1-2-3 didn’t need the GUI. Excel and the web browser did.

I’m not saying VR/AR is going to turn out the same way, but it seems at least possible that new affordances will create new kinds of applications again.
There are a number of mini-pcs with relatively powerful ARM processors from rockchip, such as the RK3588. These are capable of running desktop linux. Here's a video on one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUx5CQtRARs
the end users are going to be low-level work from home
employees who have no choice in the matter.

What is the incentive for businesses to buy and mandate the use of proprietary VR headsets for their employees, low-level or otherwise?

There would have to be killer apps for those headsets. Things that can't be done as well (or done at all) with traditional interfaces.

I haven't heard many ideas being thrown around for things that would actually benefit from VR.

There are certain niche applications that are easy to imagine. Maybe some CAD/CAM stuff, maybe remote surgery or some shit.

But the vast majority of things people do would have no benefit. You're not going to crunch through help desk tickets faster in VR. I realize people probably said the same things about traditional computers 50 years ago, but there were also a lot of folks that were bullish on them. I just don't see it with VR.
One option would be to use Cloudflare Tunnel [1]

You would run a program on your system which connects to Cloudflare. The traffic goes to Cloudflare first, and then gets forwarded to your system.

Hear hear, and I appreciate the Jocko reference.

My own middle path has evolved out of many things, but I imagine the three most prominent are:

1. Delayed gratification as part of childhood upbringing
2. Training to silence the internal dialogue
3. Appreciation of the miniature
bonus:
4. Bach

I suspect these things have kept me from the alcoholism that is rampant in my family. I truly enjoy a few strong drinks a week, though sometimes I forget about alcohol for months or years.
The DART mission successfully changed the motion of an asteroid
Just in time. I was fading out there. Now you have me wondering. I have just purchased a farm in what is known to be Indian country next-door to Seattle. I have looked casually but not very methodically for any such artifacts. I do know this area was extensively logged a century ago and I am guessing that is one reason I found nothing.

Thank you so much for the update and for saving my miserable life!

> No PC required, no cables, no nothing.

Slight nitpick/question:

if the battery life is 2 hours max, do most people still play with a cable to avoid having to worry about "is it going to die/do I need to charge it soon" while playing?
You think Meta is spending billions on a PR exercise ? Be serious.

There are many companies including Apple and Microsoft who do think that VR has the potential to offer ground-breaking new experiences and as such worth investing in.
Current FB is forced by reality to be an ads company. If they can find an alternative that lets them not be an ads company, then VR might be their path to redemption?

MSFT is putting ads in windows because charging for windows is not working as a business model anymore for them, so now it's a freemium product. You barely if at all see ads in office and related products, and thats because it's a product you can only pay for. Many enterprises will flat out refuse to use "Meta Enterprise VR" if it comes with a ton of ad tech crap, and are totally willing and wanting to pay the difference for it anyway. Too many juicy contracts will be missed to FB's competitors.

Apple is expanding their ads business a lot too.

So it really can go multiple ways, and I don't think FB is going to be the only real competitor in the VR space once it starts ramping up, especially with all the hints that apple is working on the space. You also have things like sony's playstation VR as a strong third competitor, not to mention the background PC VR stuff that exists already.
BTRFS is not stable?
Interesting video, but it doesn't show slaughter at all, just impressive machinery for quickly processing massive amounts of fish.

I disagree that having a person rather than a machine process food products is related to the ethics of animal consumption, but I tend to think about this stuff in terms of how do you continue to feed 9B people, around 3B of whom rely on seafood for their primary protein source. I consider it a great privilege to buy bespoke premium products that cater to my perceptions of the world, but it doesn't really solve the problems around mass producing enough healthy food to sustainably feed the world population. Having a human handle all of those dead fish and turn them into marketable products would drive their price up so much that it would push people to protein sources that are much more carbon-, water-, and nutrient-intensive. Making the processing humane is super important, but it needs to be rational and efficient.
What's AGI in this context?
aerc is plugged into your surrounding Unix environment more deeply than most mail clients. It has a keybindings system which is like a more generalized version of Vim, plus an embedded terminal emulator and support for piping things through shell commands, and a templating system.

Example: to apply git patches, I have this in ~/.config/aerc/binds.conf:

ga = :flag<Enter>:pipe -mb git am -3<Enter>

To reply to thank the contributor, I have this:

rt = :unflag<Enter>:reply -a -Tthanks<Enter>

The "thanks" template invoked by this shells out to git to include a summary of the git push and set a special mail header to update the mailing list on the status of the patch:

X-Sourcehut-Patchset-Update: APPLIED

Thanks!

{{exec "{ git remote get-url --push origin; git reflog -2 origin/master --pretty=format:%h | xargs printf '%s\n' | tac; } | xargs printf 'To %s\n %s..%s master -> master'" ""}}

Hope that helps.

I went Windows 10 to Linux. Gaming is more than ok, thanks Steam, and for those games that don't run under Linux I have double boot. My whole Windows career I insisted in Pro liscences, the peivate always felt wierd. And aince Windows 11 simply unusable, Win 10 Pro is still accwptable, every time I see a Home version I feel like crying... The last Windows were I really felt like my computer was as mine as it does with Linux was NT and Windows 2000. With the same shenenigans for installong software from third parties like under modern Ubuntu, maybe that plays a role too.

I appreciate you sharing your thoughts

>“Men and women are [innately] different from each other in lots of ways” is false, and the differences are cultural and rooted in socialisation that we, the the name of true individualistic inclusivity, should seek to minimise.

There is widespread scientific (note: among _scientists_) consensus that this is not correct. Talk to an endocrinologist or a behavioral geneticist, or an economist, or a psychologist...

As it turns out, sex differences in psychology are the biggest effects we measure. We also see concomitant differences in other species, both closely related and not. And there is every reason to expect evolution has designed us to have innate differences by sex. The tablua rasa stuff is wrong.

Ideas like the one your innner feminist wants to believe were popularized by non-scientists (don't confuse scientists with "academics"), and they were easy to make popular because they're what cliques around those academics wanted to believe. But all the evidence is against it, that's just no how nature works.
NASA says DART mission succeeded in altering asteroid's trajectory
Something similar:

Wouldn't these devices cause anxiety and depression related mental problems?

Humans need humans to feel okay and happy, and if these things remove lots of that (a digital avatar isn't the same thing) ... that could be dangerous?

Whilst if they automatically shut down for the rest of the day, after 3h usage, then maybe more ok.

For deep focus mode software development though, having no distractions, a 360' wide virtual screen (or 180' would be enough) could be lovely. I could fit ... 9 editors side by side. And different project tree views, and a 30'' web design window and Dev Tools. In just a pair of glasses
Worse is the dozens of communications platforms they've launched, renamed, launched competing platforms and abandoned them all... I've been a Voice user since it was Grand Cetral... TBH, the best time for Google comms was when Hangouts kind of took over text + gvoice and integrated contacts into a shared interface... then they broke it up, reduced features and shuttered it altogether. There have been like 3 since. And that's in a single related space.

Not sure what I'll do if/when they shutter GVoice, probably try to cobble something similar for myself with Twilio, or at least that's my near term plan, only hoping one can create a dialer app for Android that does the same kinds of things.
Thanks! Feel free to poke me if there in an occasional sentence that is not as plainly written as it could be:)

Yup. The biggest tip off that our response to Covid is basically a scam is the fact that you are absolutely not allowed to think anything beyond what “the experts” say. And not just any “expert” either, only ones that fall inline and spread doom and gloom.

God damn I still cannot get over how many people continue to buy into this Covid nonsense.
Intra-organization measurements are not the same as inter-oganizations measurements.

(Not that we are good on the later one. We are not. But we are much worse for the first. And, anyway, where the "give up, we are better not measuring" line falls is not obvious; at least to me.)

You could do it before. Each version of the 4.0 and 4.1 SDKs came with gcc, but a very very old version (the 4.x series, I believe, ironically enough). What's here is a more recent gcc, as well as VBCC out of box.

You answer reminds of that of politicians saying to poor people they need to stop being poor and just be richer.
Does it really make that much difference if comments exist "inside" the embedded sublanguage vs. "outside"? After all, you can always construct a format specification by string concatenation, and in CL, you can trick the parser into doing this for you:

(format stream t
#.(concatenate 'string
;; comment about the first piece
<piece 1>
;; comment about the second piece
<piece 2>)
...)

Additionally, for the record, CL's FORMAT is sufficiently hairy that you can achieve the effect of in-band comments if you wanted to:

(format t "~
~0{ Because the previous line ended with a tilde,
the following newline is ignored. All of this text
occurs inside an iteration construct that loops
zero times, so will not be output. However, it
will consume one element from the list of arguments,
so after this loop, we'll use tilde-colon-asterisk
to back up one element, and let what comes next
decide how to format it. So this is more or less
a comment inside a CL FORMAT string.

As somebody who is a sort of self-driving car skeptic myself, even I have to say this kind of over-the-top skepticism is just as silly and absurd as the ridiculous self-driving car hype of the last 10 years or so.

OK, so "we" have spent 10 years and $100B on this and it doesn't "fully" work yet. So what? Who said how long it was going to take or how much it was going to cost? This amounts to the little kid in the car screaming "are we there yet? Are we there yet?" The answer is "no", but we are going to get there eventually. That's pretty damn close to inevitable, barring nuclear armageddon or something.

So yeah, I'm a skeptic in terms of believing I won't be riding in a fully autonomous self-driving car in the next 10 years. Or maybe 20 years. But 50 years out? 100? 200? 1000? I mean, yeah, it's absolutely going to happen.

Remember the old saw "We always overestimate the change that will occur in the short term and underestimate the change that will occur in the long term. People overestimate what can be done in one year, and underestimate what can be done in ten."[1]

Absolutely incredible! I've shared this with everyone I know and they are all gobsmacked!
I was in this position just recently where git suddenly stopped working, due to needing a complete update of xcode tools. Annoying blocker but OK, let's get it done.

But trying to download the xcode tools put me into a loop which wasn't completing for some reason. After several attempts waiting for it to download and install I gave up and created an alias 'git' which points to my brew install of git (in usr/local/bin I think).

This will bite me somehow very soon, I'm sure.
Setting aside the connotation/framing of the word itself, tell me, is not having privilege good or bad?

One could define "privilege" as the accumulation of inheritance of ancestors, economic, culturally, biological, geopolitical, power. All coming together in "good ways" for descendants.

But back to the question, is bad to not have it and good to have it yes? Then why would anyone support not having it, willingly giving it up, expect those who take it from you to not then also abuse power against you etc etc. If bad, why choose not to keep it?

In terms of abstract ideological values, I support merit, some sort of meritocracy. But in concrete terms this will never avoid conflict of group interests. That is politics and an unavoidable aspect of human competition over resources, wealth, power, prestige. So let's stop pretending, is my point, that there is some achievable neutrality in all this. Because we all agree not being on top is bad. The strong do what they can, the weak suffer what they must. At the very least having cultural power like those implementing all these policies throughout Western corporations is a good thing to have. It is bad not to have it. What else is there to say?
They probably mean that bringing dependent types into a programming language, proper, partially obviates the need for Coq and similar systems since it renders them (at least partially) redundant. Having dependent types, and having mechanics in-language to produce proofs, would cover a large part of what people (who are producing programs and not focused strictly on the theorem proving side for other purposes) are using Coq & others for.
Facebook (sorry, Meta) is the only one continuing to advance the VR industry. I respect them for that.

They also have the absolute worst business and product strategy in the world. Any unique product that they did not steal or acquire (and some that they did!) have been colossal failures or run into the ground. The irony of a company that has all their customer's data is that they still have yet to understand their customers.

I have yet to meet a single person, anyone at all, who has expressed any interest in "The Metaverse". Even among my circle of friends who are heavily bought into VR. I struggle to find the appeal in a product vision focusing on letting anti-social people socialize.

This is a similar case where I feel a large disconnect between how innovative the technology itself is, and how myopic the use case is. Who would actually use this? Whose job would this improve? This is a solution in desperate search of a problem. At least Hololens put together some convincing value propositions.
> Things that can't be done as well (or done at all) with traditional interfaces

I work from home and do daily standups, design reviews, architecture etc.

All of those could be significantly better with VR.
That is true and a much needed check. Thank you.

It's definitely none of your business, but as someone who does similar work, I'd guess in the territory of $100k–150k. (That's not how much I get paid, but I work at a much smaller and less established org.)
For me, checking and replying to emails is quicker with a CLI client than with a traditional mail client. It’s easier to jump around and pick apart email threads from my text editor than a GUI app. And Aerc’s piping is nice, it makes it easy to apply patches from mailing lists to local repositories.

Yes, Firebase also stores refresh tokens client-side [1]. The trade-off that both Firebase and Stytch are managing when we follow this pattern is the following:

- You can provide a significantly better developer experience and set-up with this architecture. While there are designs that allow 3rd party APIs like ours to set HTTPOnly cookies by proxying the 3rd party APIs as subdomains, this creates new burdens on the developer for minimal gain considering that a XSS attack vector indicates a severe compromise of the application.

- Today, customers that feel strongly about using HTTPOnly session management will opt for a direct integration with our API using one of our back-end client libraries rather than our JS SDK. While we have interest in providing a HTTPOnly solution in the future to interested customers, we’ve decided the default behavior of the existing SDK is better suited for most developers.

I don't think these are very comparable to the Quest Pro.

It appears neither of those have face tracking, and the Pimax doesn't have eye tracking. Besides that, both of those are PCVR (not standalone) and the Aero doesn't even come with controllers despite costing nearly $2000.
