> This is perfectly true! When it happens on my oculus quest 2, I immediately feel dizzy. BUT I can count the number of times it happened to me over a hundred hours of play on my fingers.

Indeed. PCVR has a bit less attention to it, the Quest experiences are very polished.

As one oarticular example, once X-Plane 11 starts loading it freezes the "loading hangar" you're looking at, and when you move your head it stays in the same place, making it 'feel' like it's moving in the opposite direction instead. It is extremely sickening and vertigo-inducing. I really have to close my eyes or jump to the SteamVR UI when that happens. Really, a developer should really avoid this at all costs. Just jumping to a black loading screen would have fixed it and it feels very lazy at the expense of the user.

It's a shame because X-Plane is otherwise much better than Microsoft Flight Simulator in its VR support. The "Ergonomic Yoke" is amazing and the buttons are much more responsive than in MSFS which made a really half-hearted attempt to support VR controllers.

But again, the native Quest experiences in the store are very well curated to avoid this.
> Heck, we can see it in a lot of human beings who are not capable of consistent logical reasoning, and they're not even alien.

All humans share this flaw (if it is a flaw). Not just some. We all do. It’s part of what makes us human—we have emotions that for better or worse transcend logic and reasoning.

In fact I could maybe argue that emotion is an important part of logic and reasoning. Emotion leads to skepticism and thinking outside the box. Both traits are needed to advance our understanding of the world.
Colin's done a lot of work in improving boot time on EC2 and in general, so I'm a little surprised he didn't actually mention the boot time in this article. In 2022Q1 he had boot time down to 8s (in EC2, IIRC); based on how cut down the FIRECRACKER config he added is and that there's no loader involvement, I don't think it'd be too surprising if he hits ~5-6s or less.

We may need this, but the stakeholders holding the purse strings don't. And they are the ones who will decide what gets built.

It's how we end up with shit like grocery self-checkout machines and robots answering customer support calls. Nobody likes being yelled at by a robot who doesn't understand the situation, except the decision-makers buying the machines.

This isn't peak tech, not by a longshot. This is just Intel's competitors eating it's lunch.

My first apartment in SF was a condo. The landlady offered to sell it to me, but I lost interest when I realized $1600 of the $1900 I paid in rent went to the HOA.
Because Im using that part of a home for workspace anyhow when Im off the clock. Its a laptop on a table, its not a huge investment. And also you are ignoring commuting and all associated monetary and time costs. With wfh and no commuting its like I have a 26 hour day. Then you miss out on a lot of potential parallelism like doing laundry or working out during zoom meetings.
Mexican and Southwestern seem to get particularly hit or miss once they get away from their home base. I assume there are decent examples in NYC. But I don't even know any in Boston--not that I'm a particular export.

Similar story here, my girlfriend uses the iPad/pencil/procreate to draw commissions for people. She absolutely loves it, went did an art degree but then went down a different career path and is now getting back into it.

In a world filled with apps that require a subscription, a persistent internet connection or filled to the brim with ads, procreate really is a breath of fresh air. Just buy it and use it like in the good old days.
I understand your point. And I completely agree that many of our chosen mathematical structures, and even physical models are contingent and likely accidents of history and sensory constraints.

I'm comfortable living with the tension between these two propositions: (1) The manifestation of laws of physics are real, measurable, spread across the galaxies, and essentially outside of our subjective experience. For example, I do believe that gravity and electrons are real ... not just real for me. (2) The way in which we interpret these physical realities is somewhat conditioned by the constraints and experience of being messy human animals.
If your commute doesn't suck, it's not bad to go into the office. I feel like offices are getting a bad rap here, when it's not really about them.
There is a cliche apparently so far not mentioned:

"Girls pay attention to people and boys, to things."

So, this cliche can be used to explain the Italian results: The girls did better when graded by people because girls are a LOT better working with people, e.g., understanding subtle hints of what the teacher would like, how to please the teacher, and then doing so.

For more, for some years in grade school, girls are ahead of boys in manual dexterity and, thus, in handwriting.

Girls are better than boys in rote memory, language learning and skills, reading, spelling, and some cases of precision in work, e.g., adding columns of numbers.

E.g., by the eighth grade, my handwriting was still just awful. So, given a lot of simple arithmetic to do, my accuracy was awful -- I misread my own writing. The teacher assumed I didn't understand the math. Naw, I understood the math just fine right away -- the reason for my poor accuracy was just my awful handwriting from poor manual dexterity. So, the teacher, with her poor understanding, called me aside and with good intentions warmly, fervently advised me never to take anymore math.

I told Dad, a high end educator, and he laughed. So, I did very well in all the math the school had -- a college prep school, 97% of the students went on to college, deliberately by far the best school in the city. No one beat me on the Math SATs by much! I never took first year calculus -- taught it, applied it, published research in it but never took it -- and started in the second year of calculus. In college I gave weekly lectures to a prof on topology and got "Honors in Math" -- wrote on group representations. My Ph.D. was in pure/applied math. Saw a problem in a class, worked on it for 2 weeks, solved the problem, later published the work.

That 8th grade teacher didn't understand math.

Maybe you have noticed that it is standard for companies greatly to prefer females for positions working with people -- clerks, customer service, human resources, etc. So, managers in companies didn't have to wait for these Italian results and have understood very well quite broadly going way back that women are much better at human facing work -- MUCH better.

The boys/men don't intend to mess up. Instead, they just don't understand people nearly as well and, thus, don't know when they are messing up.

Good for the Italian researchers doing well uncovering part of what has been common wisdom for a very long time!

The migration to electric vehicles will happen, and must happen, over a couple of decades - and likely more time after that for heavy-duty use cases. And that assumes a lot of infrastructure investment along the way. Trying to go faster will generate needless and extensive backlash, cost a lot of money, and lead to a lot of unsatisfactory experiences.

Somewhere along the adoption curve, electric vehicles will be cheaper than gas, and they are already (in many ways, though not range!) better than gas.

Therefore, even though subsidies were instrumental in getting electric off the ground a decade ago, it makes no sense to further subsidize at this time. If there is an irresistible urge to spend more money, spend it on infrastructure.
Imagine thinking that a company shouldn't do layoffs until they're on the brink of failure. No layoffs for strategic shifts. Don't hit the breaks unless you're absolutely sure you're about to crash!
> Apple doesn't want non-artists to buy iPad Pro instead of MacBook. They want people to buy both.

I see the resident Apple bashers are already warming up their cannons firing a few rounds.

But perhaps we need to take a step back here for a moment....

First you need to consider the security and general platform profile of iOS which is fundamentally different from MacOS. Running MacOS would greatly weaken the iOS security profile of Apple mobile devices, and you have to remember that the devices are not just used by consumers but they are used widely in the corporate world too. iOS loaded with corporate apps is a much more attractive security footprint for corporate IT departments. Personally speaking, I very much like the tightened security footprint of iOS. I wouldn't want to run full-blown MacOS on my phone or tablet, even if I could !

Second, prior to Apple silicon, non-mobile hardware ran on Intel. So Apple were justifiably technically constrained by that fact. However, if you observe Apple today though, you can see MacOS on Apple Silicon allows you to install iPhone/iPad apps simply by downloading them from the App store as you would on an Apple mobile device. I would argue therefore that with time, we may see further blurring of boundaries in both directions.

Rust in the Linux Kernel: Just the Beginning
"(windowless offices are fine, windowless living rooms, not so much)"...*not for the homeless.
The idea, and economics, of converting office space to housing is fascinating to me. Once you think about it for more than a moment you realize there are some major difficulties. A modern office high rise, for example, may have windows only on the outer edge of a vast floor plan. There may be one or two large bathrooms per floor, with no plumbing or even walls to contain plumbing anywhere else. The HVAC may be zoned per-floor. Gas and electric is not metered separately.

So depending on the building it could be a huge cost to turn into livable residences, much less desirable ones that would offset the expense.

Not to say it can’t be done but it seems really hard.

Exactly. Tbh its constantly surprising why Americans view the CCPs zero-covid policy as a failure. Even the most pessimistic reports (based on actual facts, not tabloid-driven wishful thinking) acknowledges that China has avoided at least 2 million+ deaths through their zero covid policy. Is the right to life no longer a human right? Or have a lot of us so internalized anti-China propaganda that we're no longer able to think logically?
Producing may be faster on desktop for now because they've had a large head start on optimizing the interfaces for mouse and keyboard, but those affordances are still a subset of what you can do with a touch screen.

It seems like in that case:

* A lot of amenities (pool and gym) are provided with the HOA.

* The reason 1200 sqf in a tall building is so cheap ($860k) is probably because the high HOA is discouraging buyers.
I should test this. I haven’t seen a problem with that so far in my personal usage, so I’m inclined to say probably.

That’s a good test case. I’ll make an issue.

> I'm so over this deconstructionist "reality is your perception" line.

What makes you completely reject that? I don't think it has as much to do with deconstructionism as it does embodied cognition. We keep learning more and more about how biology and physiology and evolutionary pressures affect and inform cognition and thus perception. I was recently reading about how there have been scientific studies that seem to suggest that certain animals seem to experience time differently that we do. So you could say "time is a thing", but yet, it appears that it is not the same thing across lifeforms. There are animals that sense gravitational and electromagnetic fields, something we cannot do. Would it make sense to them to say "all beings can read these fields because we do"?

I think the problem is that it is all too easy to fall into the trap in thinking that alien lifeforms would be like us. There's a multitude of evidence of that here on Earth in the variety of life, despite even coming from the same origin.

As for why we should allow verbatim copies of utilitarian features...

First, let's preface this with the substantial similarity of the structure, sequence and organization as established in Whelan v. Jaslow which amongst other things says that you cannot merely change the variable names if the expressive structure of the code remains the same.

Now let's imagine 10,000 software developers who all implement Dijkstra's algorithm in C and then run it through clang-format. Aside from variable names, isn't it safe to assume that many of the implementations are going to be exactly the same?

This is actually sort of a strawman. It relies on a definition for "tech" that's different from the English word "technology". You're talking about "peak {tech industry as defined by the last three decades of investment behavior}", and... OK, there's an argument there.

But to argue that technology as a whole has stopped is... well, not irrefutable, but almost certainly wrong. And if it's right, wow, is that bleak.

Constructed more naturally, your statement here:

> we need to make better, more humane and effective technology, not just more and more and more of it.

Is certainly true, but frankly is just a tautology. "Technology" as commonly understood means new stuff that makes people's lives better.

This is how you get housing tenements, and SF has a history of over-paying for impermanent housing solutions (like tents in a parking lot, or cots in a navigation center).

Not all buildings in SF are high-rise open-plans. If you're imagining converting Salesforce tower, I see how that would seem impractical.

Most commercial office space in SOMA (old warehouse buildings) can be converted into live/work lofts.

HOAs can go from the bare minimum "we pay someone to mow the center divider" (some will actually exist and have no fees) to the "we pay for the entire country club this house is part of, including limo service and more".

Condo HOAs usually cover the maintenance of the shared building parts (HVAC, roof, plumbing outside the units, etc). One danger sign is a condo with a HOA that is too low - it likely means maintenance is being put off or done incorrectly or you're going to get hit with a special assessment soon.
Too many people think of an HOA fee as throwing away money, but I think it's a net savings in a small and well-run HOA (and these do exist!). The money all goes to the upkeep of the building or complex with minimal overhead, so none of the fee feels wasted: it'd cost more to do it alone. A local management company charges a fee but they're local employees and it's better than trying to manage the books myself. Larger HOAs -- like where full-time maintenance staff is necessary -- can have very high fees, but, paying people fairly on an ongoing basis requires ongoing money, no matter how you slice it.
