> More demand doesn't result in higher prices, it results in homelessness and/or people moving to alternate markets

I don't know where you are referring to but there is reams of historical data that demonstrates that more demand without an increase in supply leads to all 3 of those.

> My point is that $1.5m prices are not a signal that a ton of people want to live in a particular place.

Yes, and $1.5M in isolation is a meaningless number and not a signal of anything at all without describing what exactly it buys you.

What does signal desirability is the trend line in property prices in a given area and the relative price of equivalent properties in different areas.

I skimmed a bit, are my evaluations correct?

- The robot/hardware should provide a TCP stack

- The firmware running on robot should be written in a way to work against viam sdk (which necessitates having a high-level OS like Linux running on it)

- Viam is like LabView/Simulink or ROS as-a-web-service

Personally, I’m planning to wait on an option from a different company. If I could just buy the hardware device and have the option to run my own software at some point I’d go for it, but we all know this thing is zuck’s big bet to keep his surveillance advertising company afloat. This device genuinely good but I doubt we’ll ever get full access to the space if he’s the arbiter. I don’t want to deal with them, I really hope others feel the same and I’m not forced to buy into this platform at some point.
That is strictly still a hierarchy.

I've tried Regolith at one point (mid-2020) out of curiosity, and the experience was miserable. For some reason, everything was extremely laggy. It was on an older PC (i5-6500) so I figured the integrated GPU was too slow. Of course, my even older (2013) macbook pro worked absolutely fine with macOs's effects, but still. I was down to the point of trying to order a dedicated GPU that would fit the small form-factor case while being fanless.

Then I tried Arch with i3 and the slowness went away. It would even happily render blur effects via picom without any issue.
I'm fixing the bugs after the feedback and then I'm fixing the Windows problem, I'm using a crate that is not cross-platform for the input management
The usual way to fix this sort of thing is with a human-in-the-loop retroactive fix process. But that's called "regulation" and "lawsuits", and the cryptocoin crowd trends to not like those.
Then that's not a secret anymore.
To summarize this and bypass the clickbait title: Dr. Alex Oshmyansky, a child prodigy with a PhD in mathematics and a MD (worked in radiology) decided the 3 or so jobs/fellowships he was juggling weren't enough and decided to start a company selling cheaper drugs, failing a couple times in getting funding and ultimately opening a public benefit corporation, backed by Mark Cuban, who valued the concept of the project and committed strongly to it. So far the company has been moving along nicely (though it's still young).

TL;DR: Mark Cuban is funding Dr. Alex Oshmyansky's drug public-benefit company, making it less susceptible to the typical big-pharma buyouts that destroy other such companies

The target usually shows as well if you navigate using the keyboard. But you are right, I shouldn’t rely on that, and I don’t, I style my links with CSS so that sighted users can distinguish them by their styles. The location is a bonus. Also if sighted mobile users want to see the location, I think they can click and hold the link, and see it in the context menu.
Obviously it'll be a bit contrived for this example, but... Suppose the logic that checked whether the input was a number used the hardcoded string "CARTER" rather than the value from the input. And, totally independent from that, your error display code just displayed the hard coded "example" value '"CARTER" is not a number' regardless of whether the state was correct or not.

In this case, I would say you have two bugs. First, that you aren't evaluating the actual input data and second, that your error checking code is not running correctly but just defaulting to the same value all the time. Bugs are distinct problems with your code, not problems that the user encounters and you have two distinct problems with your code.
"In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to." — Theodore Dalrymple

How does that work? Do you mean the band members are avatars too? Or are you talking about a DJ pressing play, and you're in VR space with your friends basically listening to a playlist?

Or are you in a VR cinema with your friends, watching a live stream of a real band?
I remember hearing someone used a vr set to replace their monitors for programming.

I wonder if this pro can do it well? It that's the case, I'd just need a laptop and then the quest to have unlimited sized monitors everywhere I go.

The price makes it hard to justify a test though. Even with refunds, it's sorta annoying to go ship things back.
Lol also this.
This announcement is a big deal. It's an extremely disruptive new project from an extremely experienced team. It's also an announcement that has driven a tiny fraction of the discussion one would expect a project of this importance built by a team of this experience to drive on HN.

Hopefully things pick up, but the past six hour's minimal response to this posting (and mostly similar or weaker responses to previous postings about Qwik here) is arguably a powerful measure of the landing page and the tag line for the landing page failing to do their job.

Using it for quite a while now. It is amazing. Even 'just' using the multi device view is mostly enough for me, but it goes a lot further with accessibility audit functions and such.

How do you do that?

I've noticed animations seem to be quicker in the win11 22h2 update, which makes them much less annoying, but I still prefer the instant change of i3.
I’ve never liked the <Link> approach. I much prefer to write normal links throughout and intercept clicks globally, which is easier to work with, and every bit as reliable (more, in some situations). See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31366875 for some discussion of this approach, with sample code in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31373486.
For the most part, sure, but at the margin I'm not sure the "best paper" can be completely well-defined within its four corners, independent of the author. E.g. the reader might rationally care (to some degree) about what a paper says about the future of the field. If an underfunded non-famous researcher describes marginal preliminary results by pursing some approach, that's one thing, but if my very successful colleagues at Berkeley/Washington/Tsinghua or Google/MSR/Alibaba publish a paper that's like, "We have gotten pretty excited about this technique for a bunch of reasons, some quantified but some more conjectural, or qualitative, or just more difficult to measure so not done yet, but here are some interesting preliminary measurements that should whet your appetite, and because of who we are, our track record of success, and our many grad students/researchers digging for gold, we'll probably find more to report in due time" well, am I wrong to be a little more interested in the second paper on the grounds that I'd like to keep up with the field?

(You might also reasonably believe that the job of an editor or program committee is to assemble the most edifying program or issue when considered as an ensemble, rather than each paper individually.)

I also don't think it's completely crazy to consider to a tiny degree what the reader "wants," separate from their true interest in an omniscient sense. When you click around on the Internet, do you only read the "best papers"? Probably not. This is similar to why the New York Times (and Hacker News) don't use 90% of their word count to remind readers to eat healthy, stop smoking, maintain friendships and regular activity, sleep regular hours, and give away most of their money to buy malaria nets.
> I don't see how it's just a "slight improvement"

I'd probably have to write a whole blog post to explain why I think iterate is only a slight improvement. But the TL;DR is that IMHO if you are writing code that uses a lot of the features of iterate or loop that is an indication that you are doing something wrong.

To cite but one example: both loop and iterate include constructs for collecting values. But collecting values has nothing to do with iterating or looping. It should be a separate construct. The right way to collect values is something like:

(with-collector collect
... (collect value) ...)

Now you can collect values whether or not you are looping, and regardless of what iteration construct you decide to use. You don't need special constructs for conditional behavior. So, for example, you could do this:

(with-collector collect
(dotimes (i 100)
(if (primep i) (collect i)))

to get a list of primes under 100.

See https://github.com/rongarret/ergolib for an implementation of WITH-COLLECTOR and lots of other constructs that are IMHO the Right Way to write code.

Sure, that's what makes C++ one of the worst PLs. Just break for every decade or so to fix things for good.

What's D been doing meanwhile? D community and the authors know its short comings for over a decade now, which are the reasons for its lack of adoption even in the open source world. Most of the D code is yet to be written, tbh. If D can't break stuff to fix the mistakes with defaults, why was all the hatred marketing towards C++? Was it a failed strategy trying to kill C++, so let's just surrender to it via core.stdcpp?

PS: Yes, D has the best interop with C++ in the world and even better interop with C as the memory model is same!

I bought a CO2 meter, and discovered my office had elevated CO2 levels (sometimes going over 1000). Cracking a window solved the problem.

Pretty much all of those are extensible, especially given that a) they are provided in source code and b) those LOOP macro implementations have internal extension features. The paper I've linked gives an example how to extend LOOP in SBCL for iteration over sequences.

Stochastically-Aware Metrology and Fabrication
Most people on HN aren’t trying VR because HN’s users are aging like Slashdot’s user base years back. A lot of HN comments on VR are simply variants of “get off my lawn”. You’d think people would actually try something for a decent amount of time before panning it with a novella length comment. If I were to guess, most HN users have only tried Google Cardboard and not modern VR

On that note, I understand why people dislike meta even if they’re making really cool stuff, but people have to realize that Meta isn’t the only VR company. I have a feeling that only Apple can change the popular perception of VR

I'm not a user, but from the marketing, it seems like a product that's "nice to have", not a "must have". Normal banking and corporate cards can pretty much do all of what they do, albeit with a slightly worse user-experience.

Businesses like this are skating on thin ice. People are willing to pay a premium for design and user-experience when the times are good. But when they're not, these "nice-to-haves" are first on the chopping block.
Interesting, good to know, thanks.

I think Steam works very well. I heavily use in-homestreaming and big picture mode on my shield and it offers a nice experience that I've yet to see emulated elsewhere. I usually have a browse in the store and watch trailers on the TV before launching my game.

Remote Play is fun on games that support it.

And it runs on osx, linux and windows.

And then theres Broadcasting, chat. Its a heavily featured launcher, and offers way more than some of the alternatives out there.
So it sounds like I will not rise to the top in big tech regardless of my hard work and talent, what are the best alternative employers that don't do this?

The "Ycombinator of Games" was Kickstarter at one point, but there have been few major successes from that. Unreal Grants, Steam, Patreon, and itch.io are today's best analogues.

>Reminds me of the Dropbox thread

Cute. Whenever someone wants to defend their dear little niche/dead end product they always make that reference on HN. Similarly on slashdot with the ipod comment. Yet there is a subtlety that every person who makes this broken analogy are missing (apart from the fact, that, well, if someone made a book that kept a record of all instances this analogy was made on HN, it would be hard to miss the fact that.. no, X pet product defended Y times on hn didn't become the next dropbox)

The criticisms against dropbox and the first ipod were nerds who thought there was already, -within the same product category- good enough things, underestimating the importance of things like UI, accessibility, portability (in the case of the ipod when people compared it to the gigantic creative jukeboxes and mp3 CD-R players).

They were criticism targeted at a single product, not an entire category, because no one sane would think there's no use for tools that remotely sync documents, or gives you the ability to listen to your entire music collection on the go. Dropbox and the ipod were great, refined products, but products that stood on the shoulders of giants and markets that were already plentiful by the time they came out. Keeping backups of documents is a need a great amount of people have. People were already listening to portable music when the ipod came out. They were product that did important things better than anyone else on the market, but products that entered markets that were already quite mature. Meanwhile VR as a whole is still a niche.

VR enthusiasts are more like the nerds of old who made fun of dropbox. They have very little understanding of the wants of the general public. Shut yourself in a closed uncanny valley virtual world wearing an uncomfortable headset for hours? This is more like the people who thought rolling your own was better than dropbox.

Zuckerberg is not the next Steve Jobs. If anything, he's the carbon copy of the typical slashdot reader. His mindset is thoroughly alien to the human mind.

https://qz.com/1331956/mark-zuckerberg-keeps-forgetting-abou...

>In the Recode interview, Zuckerberg falls back on the term “use case” to describe people using Facebook Live to stream their own suicides in real time. He repeats this characterization, going on to call suicide-streaming a “use” of Facebook Live: “There were a small number of uses of this, but people were using it to…show themselves self-harm or there were even a few cases of suicide.”

This is the sort of people who think the future of humanity is to enclose yourself harder in your little virtual bubble. The everyday man finds this sort repellent.
Have you not been following the Steam Deck?
Surprisingly I’m not that anxious yet. Electricity, gas and food prices are going up and I know even worse times are coming, but as a developer I make almost three times the median income. If I get into trouble financially or if I can’t find a new job, at that point literally millions of people will have been starving and homeless for months. And if that does happen, then it’s already a SHTF situation I can’t really prepare for, except maybe moving back in with my parents in the countryside.

I think this is the only way companies will be able to keep remote-friendly polices and stay competitive with product.

It does not, Qwik’s claim to fame is that it doesn’t need to hydrate the page with JavaScript, it does this not only by serialising data sent from the server but also by doing it with the “component code”. The explanation is a bit simplified but hopefully it makes sense.

Maybe. But instead we're training AI.
