I understand what the Supreme Court said. There are a few problems with it though.

1. The founders wholly rejected that notion. The Declaration of Independence says

>When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation

>That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness

>But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

The Colonies were allowed to rid themselves of the British Government but the states aren't allowed to rid themselves of the American government? That makes no sense. The Founding Fathers would have had no issue with secession. Either the American Revolution was illegitimate or the southern one was legitimate. The British Empire made the same argument that the Supreme Court did. The British were wrong just like the Court.

2. If a state cannot leave, then how did the Southern States become military districts? Where in the Constitution does it give the federal government the right to strip states of statehood?

3. There was consent of the states who left to leave. I'm not sure why another state needs to be involved since the 10th amendment doesn't require the consent of other states.

4. If you have a glass of water. You take a sip of water you still have a glass of water. If a state leaves the Union you still have a union. If changing the amount of state destroys the union then I am not sure how adding to the Union does not do the same.

The Supreme Court ruled this way to provide cover for the unconstitutional actions of the federal government. They banned actions that were both allowed and they themselves did. To use a word from the Deceleration of Independence, that is despotism.
> You need to compile and distribute a runtime or, in the case of dynamic languages,

But for all other languages there are easy compilers. Which is why WASM, apparently, is used with such languages mostly[1]

I'd expect that these runtimes can be both distributed with browsers when they become really popular, and can be reduced in size. E.g. Python's runtime is relatively large and ships with a large stdlib. Most of which won't be needed in your code, so I'd expect it to be possible to compile a runtime that only includes what your code really needs, for example.

VR has a market of over $5 billion per year. In 2021, over 10m devices were sold, and its still growing.

That's a bit more than a niche.
For a long time I used Siri as “hey siri, timer, 3 minutes”.

This works for every time except 4 minute because it thinks you’re saying “timer for minutes” without a number.

Got fixed last year though and for some reason wasn’t reproducible for everyone. Not sure if an australian locale issue or something.
A huge amount of stuff you do in any program is logic (branching), math (add, subtract, etc), and enumeration (various forms of looping). Algol/C does all these with built in language syntax. Smalltalk though, does not. It does these very elemental things, what might make up maybe 80% of a method body, with messages (or at least the facade there of). It couldn’t do logic and enumeration without closures. Objective C did not have theses so you still did that core 80% of stuff with old fashioned C.
Yet most people (including our leaders) are still expecting constant growth and innovation. At least we should have a plan B.
I had a bad feeling about Meta/FB buying Oculus. The Oculus experience is truly fantastic. I haven’t had such a fun time with games since the NES first dropped. Where Xbox and PS focus on graphics, the Quest centered experience and gameplay, just as Nintendo did in the early days.

Hopefully the Quest isn’t killed off. I don’t need an expensive paperweight.
83b is offered to very select few and most of us regular folks just don’t have that option. Either way it would be a terrible thing to pay tax at time of grant and the stock takes a hit.
No one's proposing that, Meta was even showing off custom home environments for the Quest Pro https://mixed-news.com/en/meta-quest-pro-exclusive-home-envi... and you can use it for any other VR experience that you want.
I don't think that's true, even though it may seem like that, since poor people can't consume as much climate friendly marketed tech.

That doesn't seem to answer the question - the schemes on your link still have a dealer with access to the original secret I think?

Capitalism only responds to market prices, and right now the true cost of carbon is not priced in. This is where government can help.

We should have a large, painful, but revenue neutral carbon tax that replaces income tax. Then you sit back and watch as people cut their carbon emissions to 'dodge taxes', exactly as designed.
Bit of a false comparison, though. Computers obviously enable a lot more than VR seems to.

I think there will be a market for VR. However, I'm not entirely convinced games and entertainment are it. Certainly I think there will be a market for those, as well; but I can't shake the feeling that it doesn't actually add too terribly much to them.

The social aspect of entertainment is completely missed with VR. We want to do things /with people/ when we are being social. Is why people watch sports games in parties. Most of the folks at the party are marginally interested in the sport, but in the people they are there with.

For games, 3d shooter is certainly a genre. But it isn't the only one. And the casual market that they hope to capture is largely not the 3d market.

Having the private key for a root CA does not allow them to decrypt your traffic. They'd have to sign an impostor certificate for the hostnames to which you connect, and actively tamper with (MITM) your traffic using that new key/certificate. This would be trivially detectable (indeed that's what certificate transparency does).
I've used the BLK 360 before so some comment here. Essentially you scan at various points within the volume of interest, e.g. you walk around, place the scanner, scan, repeat. Each scan takes a few minutes at high angular resolution. Leica provides software called Register (or Cyclone) to match the scans together. Because you generally don't have GPS (the BLK doesn't have a GPS onboar and GPS is anyway much more inaccurate than the scan resolution - metres versus millimetres), the software has to do some kind of feature matching to stitch the scans. You get "links" between adjacent scanning points, and then you do a big optimisation pass to combine the scans.

This scan matching is by far the most difficult and time consuming bit. Probably OP had to manually align the scans as a first pass and then the software takes over using some algorithm like ICP (iterative closest point).

This is still only "internal" (i.e. scans are correct relative to each other, but you don't know where the full scan is) and you'd have to combine with an external reference point to geo-locate in the world. Doesn't really matter for this because you're just viewing the pyramid on its own, and you're not overlaying on a map. If you were, then usually what you have to do is take several ground control point (GCP) that are known with high accuracy and then reference that in the scan. You could geo-reference these using an RTK GPS or something, but it's quite difficult to get world coordinates at the millimetre scale and it rarely matters if you're that precise as long as the scan itself is consistent.

This video from Leica shows the full workflow for a typical use case (scanning a house with indoor and outdoor points). Note the point where they link inside and outside, around 16 mins in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AV0LPKowOXU
Works great with Quest2 , and it s amazing
This doesn't tell us anything about memory layout though.

If a mathematician actually has to write out their matrices, they do it on a piece of paper. Because it is a 2D medium, the each element can have two "neighbors" on in the next row, and one in the next column.

If they do their math on a computer, they have the same problem as the rest of us -- but, they probably just use BLAS, which is typically column major. Although, I think some of the more modern BLAS spinoffs accept a layout option:

I designed an open source ergonomic wireless keyboard over the course of 2 years
You probably know how this kind of projects usually starts. "Hey, XY would be nice, I bet it'll be a quick and easy project". Then feature creep happens, then you're not satisfied with your work and start from scratch, and 2 years later you're like "why".

This was one of those projects. It is a slim 40%ish column staggered wireless keyboard, using a nRF52840 chip, and Kailh Choc switches. It is as slim as possible with mechanical switches, features months of battery life, and is entirely open source - electronics, case, software. For now it will only have a 3D printed case, but CNC machined aluminum is planned too.

I am typing this on the first prototype while waiting for the updated 3D-prints to arrive, but felt like sharing my work already - hope you will enjoy it!
"The DA/politicians have a similar calculus. Why spend $50k locking up some druggie because they stole $100 worth of stuff?"

It's not their money, so many of them have no problem spending it.

That's not to mention those who personally benefit from putting more people in jail because they have investments in the prison industry, get some sort of bribe/kickback, or just have an easier time getting elected/appointed because they're "tough on crime".
The game theory of firms choosing to advertise seems to be prisoner's dilemma like. The only equilibrium is for both firms to advertise at a loss. If either firm stops advertising, the other firm's ads become more effective and it will steal market share.

As a consequence of this, I think advertising will always persist irrationally unless the system if changed to prevent this irrational behavior. A really high tax on any ad spend would probably work.
As someone working for one of their could be competitors in the VR domain, we are doing extremely well with a long list of customers, the end users don't see it, but VR is heavily used in medical training, military training, virtual classrooms etc. We have a good number of customers using it to show house/building plans too. Enterprise users seem to be more interested as the devices have almost become affordable and portable. Sub 400$ devices would be needed to break into mass consumer market.

As I said before, in your hypothetical you would be undermining a business model that is letting a lot of people eat burgers for free, and that would be selfishly making the world worse.
Lots of people, particularly Laravel people, are doing static analysis with tools like PHPStan or Psalm. Over time there have been more and more type-oriented features introduced to the language too. Obviously you can't catch everything, but it's a dynamic language so that's the trade off you've signed up for.
Seems premature to crow the death of advertising when not a single social media company has been successful with this alternative scheme you are imagining.

The market is contracting because when rates are high and capital is expensive, ad spending is one of the first you cut.

I'm not sure that I'd call current VR tech "the early days". The VFX1 and those arcade cabinet VR systems were the "early days".

The Occulus Rift came out six years ago. We are well into the phase of VR where improvements are incremental each generation.
So what you're saying is that we should tax carbon so that it correctly reflects the externalities and let the market sort it out from there?

Because currently capitalism has no interest in emissions because they don't cost anything. But that is a failure of capitalism, or at least our current incarnation of it. And it needs fixing to be part of the solution. You could blame government for not fixing the flaw, but the flaw is in capitalism none the less.

VR isn't going to be a commercially successful product for Enterprise customers. I don't see how a company with 10k employees is going to think purchasing specialized hardware, software and training for a collaboration tool is going to help their business outcomes.

There is a point of "good enough" for collaboration/meeting tools and features above and beyond aren't going to materially make the outcome of the collaboration/meeting any better to offset the costs.
I call bullshit. VR has a pure ergonomics problem and Meta is chipping away at that every year, this Quest Pro is so nearly there and the second we get VR sunglasses it's done. It's over. It will become mainstream and the PC will go the way of the typewriter.
Probably. It seems like something a veterinarian would know about.

A. Random websites who have something to sell.

B. Random strangers spending spare moments of attention on a website about startups and software engineering.

C. Someone local to you who spent years in veterinary school and is now spending focused time in-person to care for a particular cat.
That's not what "at a loss" means and is also not irrational.

High tax on ad spend would be a throwback to our Christian moralist days where we decide that some spending is good spending that we like and other is bad spending. Most attempts to ban payment for boosting speech have failed, see citizens united.
This. I'd be perfectly happy with ads that are actually related to the content and served by the same IP as the content. Going advertising networks is lazy and inconsiderate.

I don’t think so. I think ad spending is in a temporary slowdown due to economic concerns, and Meta is losing users to TikTok so it’s got less eyeballs to monetize as well. Google for example grew ad revenue this quarter YoY.

Do you have examples of these — single-use goods that are contributing to global warming and that poor people are buying over and over, more so than wealthier people — or in general, any empirical evidence that poor people are following this economic strategy, thereby contributing to global warming?

There's often a huge difference between what poor people actually do and think and what wealthier people believe poor people do and think.

As far as I understand, African Americans were still not considered equal in many states over 100 years after the very bloody Civil War to abolish slavery of African Americans. I don't consider this a good example of a highly changeable government. Or am I misunderstanding your point of the US "eventually fixing it"? 100 years is not a trivial amount of time in a country that is only a little over 200 years old.
