I’m talking about virtual meetings specifically, and then adding a note about why it’ll never be generally popular like we see smartphones only because someone replied with that.

I’ve used VR and whatever joke AR exists (the MS headset) extensively and I don’t need to be familiar with “proponents” to make any argument whatsoever.

VR will be cool for sunset of gaming, some may like it for work. Meetings not so much. AR doesn’t even really exist and no passthrough doesn’t count at least not this decade.

People need to remember that desktop/laptop ARMs outside of Apple have kind of royally sucked...

E.g. when the first Surface Pro ARM was released (the X, 2020ish), it was ridiculously more expensive, less performing and had less battery life (!) than the cheaper Intel options https://www.notebookcheck.net/Microsoft-Surface-Pro-X-Review...

The previous Surface non-Pro ARM attempts (RT, 2012ish) were even crappier (Tegra procs) but at least they were cheaper than the Pro/Intel variants...
The reddit community body weight fitness and their recommended starting routine[1] were a really great resource for me getting started. There are a couple adult fitness parks nearby my area that have related equipment (pull-up / dip bars, inclined planks with handholds, etc), and one also has it's own very similar fitness routine recommendations printed on a sign. I now do my own more customized routine, but I wouldn't have been able to get started or figure it out without those initial resources.

The Couch to 5k program is a great place to start if you're interested in more cardio / running for beginners, and there are a bunch of free apps to help you time and track your progress.

If you then distribute that modified software, users don't have the freedom to modify it in turn since your source code would be unavailable.
That's a fair point, in that I should have said something like "crypto-fundamentalists." But the idea is the one I wanted to get across, and I have mostly those same feelings about remote software and storage (e.g. I tell students, priority one in your life -- if there's something digital you care about, e.g. photos, get at least one copy of them on something you can hold in your hand)

Computer chips are a product that is only possible to produce at the largest scales. Everything, from the supply chain to design to manufacturing, is a globalized effort. You’ll never have small mom and pop fabs.
Thank you for the clarification. I didn't realize we were talking about that kind of scale.
ARM is increasingly being a factor there afaik.
Never understood why they did not just get a new ARM license and make a mobile chip it was not like they were going to impact existing business.
When women are statistically fewer of the high achieving people in society we say it must be because of socialization, because women and men are equal. How is it that this is because men are simply violent? So are men just women with an added propensity for violence?
I've typed this before but I'll type it again here. About 10 years ago I ran the local Python Meetup group here in Phoenix. Intel had/has a big presence here and one of they guys who worked on the Atom team (doing compiler optimizations for that chip family) told us (at one of the Meetups)Intel corporate didn't like how good a processor Atom was shaping up to be. They were worried it would start to cannibalize their desktop and server processor lines -- so they did everything possible to cripple its development.

He and his whole team were furious.
This sucks. I get the decision from a development pov but from a user pov it's awful. Having 2 apps for texting is not great and ultimately only creates friction.

Itanium was a bet that seemed the way forward at the time. Making an x86 instruction set processor that did on the fly analysis and conversion to a superscalar computation core sounded really hard, so VLIW was the safe "we'll do the superscalar decomposition at compilation time and run that". Turned out to be a bad bet because a miracle¹ occurred on the other side.

I think of it as a peer to the 2005 proposition that electric cars didn't need to be golf carts and the technology was coming into place to make high performance, real cars that were purely electric. Could have been true. As they say "very dangerous, you go first." That one paid off.

I wonder if there is a list of large dollar, novel, engineering expeditions and how they turned out.

This is my main problem with Quest 2 as well. I’d like to use it more, but each time it’s such a chore to set up, navigate, open the app, wait it to load etc.

I wish the Quest could just preload with an app, and you wouldn’t need to redraw the boundary if you use it in the same room.

Another issue is that quest doesn’t work in dark/dimly lit room, you need like bright lights shining to each corner and the floor if you like to use it in the night.

intel doesn't have to go up in flames, not sure why you view it as all or nothing. They can keep milking legacy stuff and even make money like IBM (what paul graham calls irrelevant), while someone else can keep inventing better chips.
It's estimated due to the fact that vast majority of that 7 billion dollar revenue comes from just a small handful of games. Looking over VG Insights, almost half of all video game revenue comes from just 50 games (out of approximately 10,000 games released on Steam per year).
Every friend using iOS that I've convinced to use Signal has uninstalled it. They stay registered, though, so I have to notice that my messages aren't reaching them, and re-send as SMS.
Computers are much much better at all that stuff than almost everyone too. Try asking Wolfram Alpha to solve something. Computers have gotten really good at proving things in the last couple of decades and formal verification methods are becoming increasingly popular.

I think sharemywin is probably on to something. It's going to be really hard for an AI to prove that e.g. x>0 && x+y <= 1 && y>1 is unsatisfiable, but it's trivial for an SMT solver. On the other hand it probably isn't that much of a leap to make an AI that can feed that problem into an SMT solver.
> Some user(s) have some kind of task that they want to achieve. They could get together and communicate well with some kind of developer who can help them achieve or complete that task; all of which is likely doable without this middle layer of whatever this is.

What you just described is the middle layer. You're describing a layer in the development of a product wherein the goals of the user and the business are translated into features that can be specified at a level of clarity which allows them to be implemented as part of a holistic, functional system.

If a developer does this, he is doing design.

If you agree that this is an important process, and is non-trivial to perform, you may find yourself saying "well, maybe some developers would be better at this than others," and now you've created a role called "Design Developer" or something like that.

And then if you find that this Design Developer spends more of their time specifying features for other developers to implement, and less time coding, you can go ahead and optimize your hiring process for people who are good at talking to users and translating that understanding into specifications, rather than writing code. You've now recreated the role of designer.

If instead, you say "well, this actually is a trivial process: any developer could do that work and still be a high-functioning programmer at the same time," then I would ask for some examples of this, and probably be able to give you ten or twenty times as many counterexamples.

I did use Firefox Nightly on Android. Seems to be working now. I think my "problem" was that it only works once and doesn't go back further in history. (Probably did already rewind and then tried to click on it again).

If you like a song and then go back it goes to the song before the liked song, is this supposed to be like that?

Oh and on firefox on android the buttons go underneath the playing song card, if you click fore example the X the songcard is overlapping the X button after that.

How so? What I read here is "A possible explanation for this otherwise almost inexplicable behavior is the fact that I am a member of a group that has historically had widespread experiences exactly like this one"

Every "successful" black person I know has experiences similar to this one. They are over performing along some axis at some point in their career, yet some senior inexplicably seems to dislike them. And I am not exaggerating when I say "every".
Wouldn't the bully be the one directly responsible?
The US seems to be the only place where everyone uses iMessage, so Android users have to use SMS and suffer the bizarre shaming of the green bubble. In most countries outside the US, WhatsApp seems to be the default. SMS is just legacy 2FA messages, and various other transactional messages like parcel delivery notifications.
And a better way to handle certs for it, and all the IDEs, behind a corporate MITM SSL proxy would really improve my day.
Giving you control of your identity is our mission. You online presence should not be held hostage by any of the social providers, which is why we encourage you to add backup providers so you can recover your Hellō Wallet if you lose access to your preferred provider.

Losing access to your users is also a risk as a developer as the provider can take away your app access to their service. Our goal is to be neutral and not be able to take away either the user's account, or the developer's access.
> they take what they can get from the OS :

It's the opposite, they run in JVM so there's an upper bound at around -Xmx ("around" because you still have stack allocated and JNI allocated, but heap is usually the biggest pool of memory by a large margin)

on the flip side it also has a lower bound at -Xms

Personally I have mine running with 16/32G heap. It's my work computer not like I need the 64G ram for gaming :)
Ads make any product shittier. So it is systemic risk - because degrading the experience means that they are turning into more expensive android.

I've seen a pattern with some companies where people are afraid to leave, for lack of a better way of putting it, "It's hell but if I leave it will be even more hell for my friends I leave behind." It's often a form of 'trauma-bonding'.

I don't have any data, but from word of mouth and variously seeing posts and videos online, 12th gen Intel CPUs seem pretty popular for gaming builds. They're winning in benchmarks against 50 series AMD (as they should, being newer), but are also cheaper. I'll be curious to see how 13th gen Intel vs. 70 series AMD plays out. There are always complicating factors, such as motherboards for 70 series AMD being quite pricey for now.
Why wouldn't they incorporate design from top fuel dragsters? They reach 100mph (!!) in under a second.
I agree completely here. This is terrible news from my perspective too. I use Signal for _all messaging_ (e2e secure or not) for the reasons that you mention.

I've onboarded friends and family, too, ensuring them it should be set as their default messaging app and that it _just works_. Unfortunately, people in the general population seem to have pretty much zero tolerance for any friction whatsoever. If they have to use 2 apps, they'll just end up communicating with me in the clear using their "default SMS" app on their phone. That's what this is going to result it...a reduction in overall message security due to people defaulting to what's easier...which is to _not_ have to remember which app to use for which "send a message" purpose. Fuck.

I understand the argument about people in markets where SMS is expensive getting screwed sometimes when they don't realize they're sending a message over SMS. However could that not be fairly trivially solved for with some UI notification or app setting that warns you about this and allows the warning to be perm-disabled if the user doesn't care!?

I think the real reason here is this desire to transition the service into supporting usernames, which is a topic that's been discussed before (and is explicitly mentioned in the post). Right now the service is tied to your phone number. After this change I suspect it will not be or not need to be.

This is very, very unfortunate for those of us who've convinced a ton of non-technical friends and family to use TextSecure->Signal over the years...

This is an interesting opinion.
The fact that an employees as to make up for another colleagues is weird. If your manager is unloading on you, you have a bad manager, nothing to do with your "lazy" colleague.
Even without an iPhone I sometimes miss texts from people using iMessage because my only occasionally used MacBook seems to randomly like to turn messages back on, and so anything from an Apple user ends up there instead of on my phone. It stays that way until I figure out I’m missing texts and go find them on the MacBook and have to manually turn off messages to it again.

I'm currently reading Tim Wu's "The Attention Merchants" about the history of advertising and can't recommend it enough. It's not a happy or encouraging story, however.
> It's bad for a company to go bad.

Hard disagree, so I wonder what your basis for this bullet is.

Agree on the other two though.
Same.

What's weird is that in the numerous Matrix vs Signal comments that populate Signal and Matrix submissions you rarely find SMS support as an Signal advantage over Element/Matrix.

Most people I know didn't like Signal taking over the SMS when they accidentally opted in.
My understanding is you can prevent the install using apt preference.

I just have one question: with a name like Hello, how do you ever expect anybody to find your service on the Internet?
Till now I kep't signal around despite the fact that I wasn't really getting that many messages on the app.

Now I am faced with a decision:
* Do I keep signal around, for that one to two messages a month I receive?
* Or do I get rid of it, forcing my contacts back on Whatsapp/regular SMS?

To be perfectly honest, I am thinking about just gettting rid of it. No need to keep yet another communication channel around when I can't get rid of the other ones anyways. :(
Receiving SMS is free in [nearly everywhere].

Not that anyone really uses SMS anymore in [nearly everywhere].

Not really, no. If a kid wants to bully you theyll find a reason to do so. If you've ever been a third party watching that stuff, you'll see what people are actually being bullied for doesn't really make sense. Take away the shoes and the phone and it will just be your hair or your posture. Bullying is a targeted activity

Huh. That makes a lot of sense from what I remember of the way the whole thing ended, with Yendred's time under the tutelage of Drabk the Sharak. Hello weird names still stuck in my head after thirty or so years.

Not that this wasn't also a theme in Abbot's earlier Flatland, most of his other writing was theology, and it, too, climaxes with a mystical experience for its 2D protagonist. But A.

I have spent time poking against this sort of thing and madness is definitely a possible result.

Retirement funds do pretty OK here. Early in your career you'll mostly hold something like an S&P 500 index fund or a total stock market fund, as you get closer to retirement they shift the allocation towards safer investments.

I don't love this; the total stock market is a lot of tech companies, and I already have plenty of exposure to tech by working in the field. It's a good heuristic for most people, though. (And no, I don't do anything about this underlying fear of tech sector exposure. I just buy the Target Date 20XX funds like everyone else.)

My only point is that the grandparent comment generally expects companies to die when they get into the S&P 500. If that's true, we're all screwed. If one S&P 500 is just stealing business from some other S&P 500 company, though, it's probably a net gain. But if it's some privately owned startup, then it's not as concrete a win, and let's be honest, startups are driving a lot of the innovation in tech.
Actually that is the "Innovator's Dilemma" in action. Managers will always prefer to safeguard and enhance the high margin aspects of the business and discourage/under-invest in low margin disruptor aspects of the business due to cannibalization of profits and thus missing profit guidance for the quarter (thus losing compensation personally). They knew the tide was changing but organisation dynamics prevents a course correction.

Only a few companies can buck the Innovator's Dilemma, usually only founder led enterprises with significant control.
