Zuckerberg seems to really think that VR is the next ”big thing” like the iPhone. I’m curious what people here think about that. I’m currently on the skeptical side for a couple of reasons.

The tech isn’t there. These headsets are bulky and ugly, only very dedicated users are willing to wear them for hours a day. Maybe someday they’ll be the size of Google glass, but it’s certainly too early to bet your company on it.

The killer app is basically VR Chat. This already exists and has existed in non-VR forms (second life) for ages. It’s definitely a successful idea, but it appeals to a relatively niche crowd, mostly very online teens.

A phone doesn’t fully occupy your senses like VR. We have responsibilities in the real world that keep us from staying fully in VR.

NFTs. Why would they bring NFTs into the marketing? NFTs appeal to a certain crowd for sure, but everyone else is repelled by that crowd, and is sick of everything about NFTs.

Lastly, they need to work on marketing. Especially a new spokesman.

I think VR is probably here to stay this time, but they should focus on gaming. It actually works, but there needs to be some fresh ideas before people get tired of it. Send dev kits out and incentive really creative developers to get involved. Man cannot live on Beatsaber alone.
Maybe it's only cheap due to the barriers to immigration? I've only been to Japan once, but I noticed how they're very formal compared to the various EU countries.

I keep meeting people who move to Appalachia and not register that the things that made it attractive (low crime etc) won't stay that way if people keep talking to me like I'm literally retarded.

(Every time someone tells me "I work in technology or whatever as I walk to get my espresso, I want to say "Great! Enjoy locking down your house like my South African neighbor told me they had to during apartheid, I've had too many of these conversations where the person was speaking in bad faith.")
The Federation had moral superiority already by the basic fact that its members joined voluntarily, and that they let them leave in peace.
Oh thank you, this is a more eloquent way of putting it.
News to me. What case established it?

I would be pretty surprised if this was true but 3rd Party Doctrine is in good standing in 99% of cases.

Edit: Yeah, it appears this is not true at all. The government of course cannot coerce a private company to do this (which is obvious since that'd be tantamount to the government itself doing the censorship), but they absolutely can request it. https://reason.com/volokh/2021/07/19/when-government-urges-p...
TBH the issue is not that I can't stand to hear racist stuff, it's that there's well understood incentives to fear monger that have tangibly eroded social trust across the board and degraded the actual real life public square in the process. That's not just the heightened threats of terrorism and acrimonious political systems either, those are just the tips of the iceberg and there's a whole host of social maladies, mental health disorders, depression and anxiety symptoms, etc. coming out of this.
I know this isn't your question, but I would disallow media of any sort. I feel like it is contrary to the spirit of the platform and adds to moderation cost.
Can totally relate.

I'm naturally (maybe unnaturally) introverted, by nature ("on the spectrum" introverted).

You'd never know it, though, when interacting with me. It's been totally sublimated.

But it is exhausting, keeping up the extrovert. When I would get back from business trips, I'd be totally burned out, and it would take me days, to reestablish a baseline.

I'm happiest, and most energized, when I'm by myself, at my desk, working on software.
Laravel looks like the most mature fullstack framework. .NET and Java might be nicer on the backend, but they are a decade behind the competition on the frontend. The javascript community doesn't seem to want a fullstack CRUD framework, the consensus seem to be that every project should make its own ad hoc framework, like the PHP community did 10+ years ago. This resulted in a lot of spaghetti code, and javascript, even with their advanced libraries, isn't much better.
The downside of not betting on javascript is that "everyone" knows javascript by now.
It is exactly as hard as one would expect it to be if the only document format becomes an application platform but you still want to do documents.
There are different ways it could work out. On Strava, more than half of the people I interact with are subscribers and that used to be more a signal of "willing to chime in for the platform to remain mostly ad-free" than a fee for extended freemium features (this has changed a bit, more paywalled features, and I'm not too happy about that despite being a subscriber).

I believe that it would be possible (even if not likely) for Twitter to shift into a lean state where they focus on just keeping the boat running and fostering loyalty with those who can and want to afford a subscription that's more a supporter badge than a gateway to extended features. Certainly depends on how much of their current cost is essentially ad sales and how much of that they can (and want to) cut. At least they are certainly much closer to that than anything Meta ever created or bought (with the exception of Oculus, which might certainly have been on a path to becoming a viable hardware company had it not received the Zuck's kiss of becoming deeply untrustable)
> I think the problem is there's no demand

Computing is a supply-driven market. The demand is there, it's just partially latent, partially ignored. Vast majority of technology users have no choice but to choose from what's being offered, and the minority of tech-savvy users with opinions are increasingly too small a niche to support "power user" tools.
I'd like to see an MS exec wax nostalgically on Windows Vista, someday. Perhaps it's still too soon for folks to misremember how bad Longhorn really was.
They are not.

I said this in another Twitter thread and I will say it again

Here's an idea: stop trying to fix social media and instead try to connect with people in real life and we as a society might be happy again
> One of my biggest pet peeves with NPM is that the packages aren't reproducible[...] Are there any other languages that focus on "reproducible builds" for packages?

NPM isn't a language. (Nor is NodeJS, for that matter.) It doesn't even occupy some semi-official position in its relationship to the actual language. Often, the NPM/NodeJS way even stands in stark contrast—working against the spirit and sometimes even the letter of the relevant standards and language features.

(It is pretty remarkable, I admit, how the opinionated set of practices associated with NPM/NodeJS have managed to reach the place it has in the associated cultural dominance hierarchy, to the point that people often forget about this stuff.)

> (Ideally via Git)

Yeah, and it's super easy: you can make your builds reproducible by committing your source code to Git. All of it. (I.e., the libraries you're using, too.) People get irrationally upset when you suggest it, though; it really feels like it shouldn't be that easy, so they don't let it.
> I resisted the "cheap chinese" modules for a long, long time, but then discovered that most of my uplink carriers used them.

MSP ISP here, we just rock the FS optics combined with an FSbox to code them as required. ;)

Just a warning for the weary: don't put a non-Fiberstore optic in their FS coding box -- you'll lock your account for a week. Ask our field team how they know this.
Anybody can say anything, that doesnt mean it should be taken seriously.

"Done right" is probably that it is not done by MS and that it is developed in Rust. That ignores universe of other aspects.

Dual SIM handsets are widely available. You can even configure your phone to use data on one sim and voice on the other, and to use VoWiFi with one sim over the data plan for the other. It's wild.
Arc is a refreshing change after using Chrome, Brave, and Firefox.

My favorite feature which any of these browsers could copy though is the command palette and copying the current URL with cmd-shift-c.

I'm excited for the Boosts that they have, and think they could build a library of them that would be interesting to check out. But I'm not an expert with CSS so making my own is a struggle. Could be interesting if they were able to find a way to make the boost creation easier for non-css experts.

I also haven't used their internal notetaking tool as much, but the fact that the browser has it built in is interesting. I just get scared that the company will fold and I'll lose my notes. Would use it if it was like Obsidian and generated .md files based on my notes.

>It was always a contended file

For people using dhcp, yes. The surprise of systemd-resolved was it taking over the file on a typical server that didn't use dhcp.
It is yet another easy dichotomy for low quality pseudo-journalism and LinkedIn/medium posts of attention seeking writers. It was the same with the whole millennial, gen XYZ people putting stickers on things and inventing irreproducible rules based on short-sighted observations of non-representative samples.

That is a great example, but for different reasons. I think PowerShell is amazing, but it never feels like something I want to work in as a shell. Writing scripts in an IDE, sure. But to convert some yaml to json I’d much rather type open/file.yml | to json
Right, signal in the data is always the limiting factor. It's just that sometimes you get the accuracy you need and you succeed with what you have and sometimes you don't, such is life.

The worst is when management just can't let go of an idea and it becomes their white whale. The project I'm thinking of has gone on for 5 years now, been worked on by consultants and a few teams of data scientists that have come in through acquisitions and all quit. The only thing that's stayed constant is the shitty data, the dead horse and the management beating it hoping to get a better AUC.
> I don't know what your point about journalists are: it's literally journalists deliberately spreading damaging misinfo like Alex Jones that need to be held accountable here. The DHS isn't able to go after grandma at Thanksgiving dinner for saying Clinton drinks baby blood.

But how come only the right needs to stop misinformation? Not a day goes by that an article from the left MSM comes out spouting wildly incorrect information (for instance, recently with the SIG SCX SPEAR). The left has increased division and hate in this country and now we’re seeing the result.
Network offload has been available in low-cost controllers for a long time, TLS isn't common though.

It could be better if network controllers just had a documented local CPU, then the firmware could be extended over time to add new features.
Is there a good overview somewhere of what the realistic path to market is for it? I don't mean this as sass— I'm genuinely curious. As far as I'm aware there are only a handful of real chips/devkits available at this point; mostly it's still people synthesizing cores on FPGAs. Basically the whole story looks pretty experimental.

I know "can I buy it on Digi-Key" is irrelevant to an entity like Google or Apple, but I feel like hobbyist accessibility is at least something of a proxy for general readiness.
Isn't slashdot the original sin ?
Fair. However I like your closing sentence before you edited just now:

> Or, instead, you can ask how can the market be coerced to be more fair.

I explicitly don't see the market being misaligned with our sense of fairness as a bug, because I am not one to judge what people like, as I mentioned. For the one making lipstick videos, I will not tell them that their work is less valuable than engineers', because, as I mentioned, it is not for me to decide. If their viewers like it, then that's good for them.
Zuck's vision is btw directly taken from an explicitly dystopian narrative of how VR tech could play out. It is a vision that would be a net positive for humanity if it failed (and its fate is btw not tied to the success of AR/VR tech in general - it's quite conceivable that the one takes off without the other). It's driven by greed for money and power, and it is quite ironic that it happens to be Wall Street that's delivered the strongest negative verdict so far (which doesn't mean that it has to fail, btw - I was short Meta since they announced this vision, but I might consider realizing those gains soon).
What I realized the other day is that the property restrictions in OWL are a lot like the options you see on a typical search interface, say,

https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/ipoll/

It is hidden in plain site, for instance if you read this

https://www.w3.org/TR/owl-ref/#Restriction

you might not realized that there are some other axioms documented elsewhere in the standard that let you query on "less than", "greater than", "matches a regex", etc. Instead of fighting with Protege or writing turtle you should be able to compose queries out of restrictions plus complements, unions and intersections the way you snap together a program in Scratch, but somehow the idea that OWL works as a query language (logically define a class in terms of its properties) had eluded people completely.
Facebook is a mature company. That represents 2 problems:

* Zuck doesn't want to run a mature company, it's boring trying to squeeze 0.001% efficiency out of mature business models.

* It's price/earnings ratio assumes there is a shit tonne more growth coming.

Right now, the Metaverse is just the best (or least bad depending on your opinion) opportunity to NOT just accept Facebook is now in it's middle age. Maybe that will work. Maybe it won't. But that's what is happening here IMHO.
That’s not what it means, they mean on same chip and equivalent would be, Intel CPU and Intel on board graphics on its CPU.
It would be a suicide move if ARM pulls off what you said, forget corporations, consumers will revolt.
I'm pretty sure Windows itself, as in your desktop, runs virtualized under many circumstances; and nobody seems to complain about Hyper-V then.

And to be clear, WSL2 is very much integrated into windows via the filesystem and networking. I like to think of the networking more akin to docker than anything else.
> You can easily have it not produce binary logs.

How do you do that? If you want non-binary logs, you can have journald tee log records to rsyslog; but the canonical log is still the binary log. Have I missed something?
A type system isn't going to save you from users submitting all kinds of potentially different encodings. Which also depends on what kind of user input is being handled: Is it OS-provided UI? Is it something being sent to a service accessible on the internet? Is it from a CLI? Is it from a file? Context matters for the potential space of what kind of data you might be operating on, which could require different ways of either knowing what kind of data you have based on having more control over the input versus having to detect stuff (or be told, correctly) from highly arbitrary things like reading from a file. All of that is external to the type system, and requires doing something before you can tag it with the correct type. Some languages might attempt to detect this stuff for you, but that could potentially be considered a language defect if it's hard to detect what a string is without having other input telling you what that string contains, such as a header in an HTTP request saying that it's UTF-8.
And both of these tools are basically drop in replacements for each other with very little configuration. This blog post is saying the performance difference is negligible.

So I guess it’s bad that instead of radically different configs and performance of Webpack vs Rollup vs Parcel vs etc, compared to the future of choosing between a much more mature build tool market with Vite and Turbopack is a bad thing?
You’re right to say follow the money, but you didn’t actually do it. Revenue is basically flat. Ad impressions up around 20% this year. Engagement is not going down. Meta stock is down 70% this year because mark just said he’s going to lose 15 billion on reality labs next year even though ever single investor is saying that number is at least 5x too high. Investors no longer trust mark has their best interest at heart.
That's a client side question, IMHO. If you want your client to show you replies, then you configure it with a crawler that scans other RSS feeds for posts that reference the post you are interested in. Content moderation is thus all user based due to who the user decides to follow and what crawler(s) they choose to use to find related posts in feeds they aren't directly following.
haha, thanks for this. i was looking at the examples on the other page and was like, "jfc, no thanks"
As I said in my previous reply, I don't disagree I could have framed my response better, however I am not just throwing Peterson here for fun, I am reacting to "You have no time to waste on western civilization's foundational text?" which is in my opinion a non-constructive argument of the sort that the likes of Peterson use to make people who disagree with their arguments feel like they're just not on the same level if they're missing the brilliance of the Bible.

I came across this sort of thing a lot in my life from Christians trying to convert me so I don't necessarily have the same amount of patience as others might to these sorts of tactics.

Note that I'm not even arguing against reading it to inform oneself, (something I've done multiple times), just this particular tactic of trying to get people to read it.

That's all.
Only the core of XMPP are IETF RFCs (e.g. RFCs 6120, 6121, 7622). Most of the fun stuff is specified in XEPs, like XEP 0045 (multi-user chatrooms) and XEP 0384 (OMEMO encryption).

Apple transitioned from x86 to ARM in less than a year.

It can be done, using mix of native applications and emulation. And as long the emulation speed is indistinguishable from native (Like Rosetta 2), end users won't notice it and won't complain.

Google & Meta can team up to transition all their apps to RISC-V and that would be 70% of the most used daily apps, other will follow the lead.
Yes, let's go with your guess instead of trying to get an answer.
XMPP has compliance suites (https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0459.html is the most recent version) that lists XEP requirements which a client or server can fulfill. Based on "core" or "advanced" compliance in a certain area, you could pretty easily communicate the level of support.

That said, basic things like "user avatars" are categorized as "advanced client" support so whatever "core" functionality is listed is pretty useless to me.
In my country such request are numerous and the mechanisms are abused. You would surely get your house searched for an internet comment. Not the fault of police directly, but they have to detect a certain amount of crime. A falling crime rate would be disastrous for their funding and evaluation.

The dynamics are known, it is known to be stupid, but government fights itself and is not able to change obvious flaws. It would also be too stupid to regulate information. This is ridiculous.

This isn't about obvious cases like drug traffic or child pornography. This is already about slights against some officials. The believe government is the magical competent body is plainly false. And it would need every support it could get to actually fight private entities that gain too much influence but instead we have self-regulating agencies that follow their mission with a certain lack of self-reflection. This is government after all.
This is great, thanks for the link. I suppose I just find it strange that they haven't yet suggested what the revenue generation is for them as a whole. I only say this anecdotally, but I am pretty certain Next/Vercel/Zeit, Deno, Gatsby and Apollo all fired off their funding based on the revenue generation from their companion commercial offerings - and funding was for the revenue generating parts not specifically the OSS.

As for Remix as a whole, I'd be interested in hearing more opinion on what makes it successful? Right now I am totally invested/obsessed in Next, tRPC & Prisma as our stack of choice!
> I think what you're describing is database query, not search.

What's the difference?

> Heuristic search is going to be non-exhaustive by definition.

To me, a non-exhaustive search is broken by design, because it will miss results. Making data accessible only through such search means there will be a hole in the system into which some of the data falls, never to be seen again.
Sounds about right. There is no real introvert or extrovert. Just people who like hanging out with and people we don't. With people whom we like to hangout with we are extrovert, and other then we are introvert.
A similar event occured on the Steam Store in 2015 due to a caching problem: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/12/valve-explains-ddos-i...
Rsyslog can be configured with a database backend, if you want to index the log fields.
Most extroverts aren't really good at communication any more than introverts. Socializing, maybe.
And the text you quoted is Microsoft's interpretation (or marketing text) of the hardware they're selling.

We repurpose many purpose built things for other ends. People called as hackers for doing that back in the day, and we applauded them.

Why the change now?
Timelines matter here. Nation states separated by centuries are different than a child on the tube. At a certain threshold things become human history and we should be able to rise above "Finders keepers"/"No it's Mine" arguments over artifacts and instead find the best stewards.
I paid $1,500 for furnished 2 bedroom:

Can confirm. Three years ago I spent 2 months in a furnished two bedroom apartment two stops away from Shinjuku - paid $1,500 / month. Had three different subway stations within ~7 min walk each. Great location, very inexpensive.

The company I used is Fontana - English speaking, they set up gas/electric/water and all I had to do was pay for them at the convenience store nearby (7 Eleven). The only requirement is a 2-month minimum stay. Will do again.
>EVs waste a lot less power than ICEs after the motor.

I'm talking about electrical transmission losses. The worst-case is for high-current, domestic loads, where about 15% of the power from the electrical power generator is lost. Add in another approx. 15% for charging and discharging the EV battery, and it's not so good.

>200Wh/km of wall socket power is about 60MJ per 100km

You forgot the above losses.

>A mostly-ff mix EV starts to look good here.

Not at all. By your (very optimistic) calculations, they are about the same. You'll never pay off the CO2 debt of manufacturing the EV battery, let alone start averting the climate catastrophe!

>Really to reduce emissions quickly in urban or suburban areas we need more vehicles that look like a Zev, an Aptera, suzuki samba, a golf cart or a bicycle etc. and fewer that resemble a tesla or a monster truck (as well as more rail based vehicles).

Very true. Weird that all of the currently-pushed solutions involve large and expensive EVs that barely do any good.
