I guess it could be useful in a world where climate change and/or a far worse pandemic have made being outside extremely dangerous. But I think we'd have far bigger problems than VR in that case (like food scarcity).

With that said, even the iPad was sort of a goofy device that everyone dismissed initially (iirc). It's hard to imagine the same thing with AR/VR communication though, given the currently known tech limitations and just the sheer dorkiness and/or cumbersomeness of wearing an external device that doesn't look like regular glasses (which are also already perceived as dorky).

In addition, for VR there's always this question of "where do we use it?" I stopped using mine because (despite having a sufficiently large space) I kept hitting my furniture or barely missing the TV. I don't think this problem is solvable with technology, and not many people can afford large enough spaces to address this. AR is a different story though.

I think they should follow the approach of beachhead markets if they want to prove it could be useful. If it can't be widely adopted even by a niche audience atm, then there's little hope for mass adoption/usefulness. Microsoft is a good example of that - they are/were trying to position the AR headset as a workplace device first and foremost, and even that seems yet to be widely adopted within its market. But figuring out the right initial market takes time.
The model 3 is around 2.4 kWh per mile. Plus if you get some fold out panels you could at least double that surface area. Now we’re talking 20 miles.

A future monopoly that can raise prices at will. They're making a bet that government will not function.
I'm certainly aware of reflog and have (thankfully) only had occasion to use it once or twice that I can remember.

To my original comment - having to force-push in order to resolve heads - is there a "correct" way to do this that doesn't feel gross?
I'm not sure why the CEO of Binance would have wanted to acquire FTX if he really thought it was in such a bad state internally that it made sense to sell his holdings in FTT. I could buy the idea that he wanted to hurt FTX with his tweet, but things quickly escalated out of control.

I also think the offer to buy FTX was motivated by a desire to avoid a broad crypto collapse which would hurt Binance along with everybody else. But that offer had to be withdrawn because things got so bad.

Now everybody involved is worse off than they were before, a lot of customers might lose money, and there is a pretty good chance that regulators and governments are going to get more involved in the crypto market in response.

If this was planned in advance, it was not 4D chess, it was just a really bad plan.

What does zuck losing his job look like? He just stops collecting a salary? His stock stops vesting? Does he have to relinquish all his ownership? I can’t imagine anything short of that would affect him in any appreciable way, and that doesn’t seem like a reasonable result of “getting fired.” If I got fired today, all my stock would still belong to me.
I've been telling my colleagues with M1 Macs to use the

My father is 96 years old and grew up in Nazi Germany in a small town called Bautzen. I did several hours of interviews with him about his experiences growing up, which I am turning into a book. This is what he said about Kristallnacht:

"I remember Kristallnacht. I was 11 years old. You heard that on this street a house burned down or that there are rambunctious people coming. There may have been five buildings vandalized in Bautzen. I saw a house with some damage, mainly windows broken. People were going in and out of the house. It did not seem significant at the time. They didn’t even talk about Kristallnacht in the paper. It just seemed to me like, “Well some people don’t like other people.” I didn’t even realize it was against the Jews. There was no specific graffiti on those vandalized houses. In a small town like Bautzen, there wasn’t much of a Kristallnacht but when you went to bigger cities there probably was. But I didn’t know about it at the time. I only realized the magnitude of it after the war.

What was more noticeable was Nazi propaganda. There were banners that read something like, “Jews are our misfortune.” There were signs on almost all shops indicating whether they were Jewish or not. Most of them were not Jewish. This was a big thing!"
selenium also supports headless mode though, or is playwright's one different?
Art doesn't have "artificial" scarcity.
That’s a little bit of an overstatement don’t you think?

From the top of my head I can think of GURPS, Shadowrun and Cyberpunk all imagining very thoroughly things that both Mobile and VR gave or can give us, just to mention games that have been highly influential to the generation of people working on these technologies.

There are also loads of books, Asimov’s works have probably been the most influential, almost prophetically, in the creation of today’s Information era.

Thank you for the perspective.
I feel I've got something similar. Memory encoding/recall via emotions I struggle with. I can understand emotions, but it seems to be more cognitive. So I struggle to share the same "emotional space".
there are lots of equivalent formulations of maxwell's equations (cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_descriptions_of_t... for a few); the ∇× ∇· one we most commonly use is quite a bit more compact and usable than maxwell's own formulation because vector calculus was, to a significant degree, invented to systematize maxwell's equations. there's apparently an even more compact form of them in terms of clifford algebras that i don't understand yet, \left(\frac{1}{c} \dfrac{\partial}{\partial t} + \boldsymbol\nabla \right) \mathbf F = \mu_0 c (c \rho - \mathbf J).

similarly there are lots of equivalent formulations of universal computation. lisp and the λ-calculus are analogous to the geometric-algebra formulation above and the more commonly used form in terms of vector field derivatives: they look very different, and they make different problems easy, but ultimately they all model the same thing, just like the various formulations of maxwell's equations

maxwell's equations are the maxwell's equations of classical electrodynamics, not of physics. without a lot of extra assumptions they won't get you very far in understanding why solid things are solid (which depends on the pauli exclusion principle) or why some nuclei break down or how transistors work or how stars can burn or why mercury's orbit precesses or why hot things go from red to orange to yellow when you heat them further

my point about modeling maxwell's equations in lisp (etc.) is that lisp (etc.) can model maxwell's equations (at least, as well as any other effective means of calculation we know of can model them — discretization and rounding error also happen when you numerically integrate with pencil and paper), so if we're looking for incredible accuracy, wide applicability, and concision, lisp (etc.) would seem to trump maxwell's equations — but good luck trying to build a computer without electromagnetism, maybe you can in some sense do it on a neutron star but not with atoms
Firefox sync is end to end encrypted. Thunderbird sync probably is too.
That's because the form factor of an iPhone is not fundamentally different from a 1998 Jornada.

All we had to do is keep putting different stuff in the box.

What if we changed the rules altogether? Suppose we demanded a phone that was a slab of glass. Literally. A rectangle of glass that you could see through. No visible antennae, no visible battery, no visible circuitry. when you activated it, you saw the same hi res and bright screen you see today on your ios or android device. Now the battery has to be clear. The antennae have to be clear. All the circuitry have to be clear.

Could we get that in the 20 years from 2002 to 2022? Probably not.

And AR glasses would represent a leap that goes even further than that. I'm not saying it can't be done by 2035. I'm saying they would have to get extraordinarily lucky with battery chemistry and display tech to have any chance of making an AR glasses product that did not have serious drawbacks by that date. They'd have to get so lucky that I would feel comfortable betting against it.
Right, but irresponsible banks have done that before and, at the very least, that is self-liquidating on the way down (the same with companies issuing stock to employees).

And whether they are gambling with your money or not, they were a mix of a bank and an exchange...so the comparison with a bank isn't complete. They were booking derivatives trades so your money is 100% at-risk, irregardless of what they do with customer deposits. This is what prime brokers do (as Levine says in that article).

The reason you don't lend against your own shares is because you won't be able to get financing and are exposed to runs. It is unrelated to the point about customers who were already at risk because they were trading derivatives issued by FTX.
Fundamentals of Data Engineering
For the uninitiated, System 6-9 had "extensions" and "control panels," each of which could change OS-level behavior. Color display management, screen savers, font managers, TrueType support, Adobe's font support, or a trash can that, when emptied, played Oscar the Grouch's "I love trash" song. You name it, there was an extension for it.

And they frequently stepped on each other's toes, causing the machine to crash.

People had mythologies around which bits would play safely together. Legends that a stable set of extensions existed, never actually discovered.

Losing unsaved work was commonplace.
Rust Design Patterns
That wasn't an argument against events! It was an argument against the futility of not being able to sit in the middle (-ing) of them, for automation.
I work on the Windows enablement team of podman machine andam glad to take question or feature requests.

We are looking into enabling systemd, though as said, this isn't GA yet. The functionality would only work for Win11, so we have to enable a win10 workaround for this (we have), but this has to be based on feature detection.

Arm binaries is being looked at, but can't commit to a timeframe when this will be delivered.
If you haven't tried, after you use Cmd-Ctrl-F to make Chrome fullscreen you can use Cmd-Shift-F to toggle the UI elements (tabs, search bar & bookmark bar). Although it doesn't follow your mouse hover which is somehow annoying.
I mean, you aren't wrong. But I am challenged to think of a service that doesn't store state somewhere.

And you ignore the other situation. Even a fully "stateless" service that literally just responds to things probably doesn't want an outage just to deploy a new version.
So what is that? The milliseconds of CPU time cost?

Only on HN.
I have to assume this was hardly edited or revised, right? Just fired straight past Zuck's assistants and into everyone's inboxes.
>In the future, it is likely that if the current mainstream search engines want to survive, they will have to go back to their roots, dismissing ads as their primary business model

What an optimistic perspective.
But banks never claimed their payment services were for buyers and seller, only cash transfers.

If you want consumer protection, either pay by credit card or use another service.

When I make a Zelle transfer I get a big warning (and a box I have to check) which says "You can't reverse this transfer once complete".

It's like complaining Amazon doesn't sell airline tickets. Of course not, they never intended to sell airline tickets.
This reminds me of how the public viewed computers before Windows 95, or when the iPhone just came out. The flaws are many and severe, but you’d be shortsighted if you couldn’t see the potential
IIRC from WWDC they said that inactive/suspended apps get their memory compressed to free up memory for the current active/foreground app.

Seems to mesh well with the iOS idea of using a single app at a time and minimizing background processing in apps that you aren't actively using.

In an out of memory situation I think apps just get killed as you suggest.
Sounds like OP is exactly the type of person who thunderbird should be targeting because it's impossible to compete on UI churn against google/facebook/apple. They have legions of graphics designers who need to do something to keep being employed. Open Source seems to have become a resume item for second rate devs to get hired into closed source companies.
you said 'The other option is to just procure chemicals through other products. Naphtha is basically a mixture of hexanes. You can buy a lot of nitrate salts used for food or gardening. It’s not hard to procure metals.' but this americanelements link doesn't seem to be a case of 'procure chemicals through other products' but rather 'buy from a place that lists things by cas number and probably only sells to corporations'
I think it's well written but ultimately it just reads as: "VR is the next big thing and we should try to own every part of it. To do that we should be the best at it. And we can be the best by building or buying as needed."

Like... okay? There's nothing particularly strategically interesting there.
I think the fundamental problem they'll face is that VR won't be accepted beyond temporary engagement. You just can't expect people to exist in a virtual environment and ignore their actual physical reality for any length of time.

I would think our brains trying to maintain a virtual and physical reality at once for any length of time must get quite stressful. The virtual environment will be first to go (yes even augmented reality).

People want to still be connected to 'reality' and Mark's virtual goals create too much friction with reality for the sake of his geeky wet dream, at least to meet his scale for success.
The monopoly on violence actually sounds better to me. I am a big fan of violence, when applied against certain types of anti-social people.
Absolutely, which is why it's so funny that the commenter here is using their "frustration" and the "uncalled for" nature of their reaction to justify wanting to continue to use "guys". This guy should just drop it and move on, easy. Cut the sensitivity out and just, move on.
podman/skopeo/buildah and systemd managed user services are an absolute game changer for dockerless rootless containers. pod and service defs are supported and can be exported to k8s when or if you ever need it and theres even a podman-compose plugin to get you moved off docker compose while yoou learn

C++20 is gaining the [[likely]] attribute for guiding the predictor in a portable way:

Prior to this it was also possible, but required compiler-specific macros like GCC's __builtin_expect, which is used all over the kernel:

I like this idea in theory, but I think it would be difficult to scale up enough to be useful.

Who would be the curators? If you open up curation to volunteers, it could be gamed by bad actors. However if you have too small a team, the results will be limited and biased. For example, favoring the English-speaking or tech-sphere web while ignoring large sections of the web with which the curators are unfamiliar.

Perhaps machine learning could help with scale - start with a human curated dataset, then train a model on it. However that could end up getting gamed too.

Recruiter hit me up, interviewed, hired.

It can be very stressful to the brain, sometimes work late in to the night, need to constantly study up on new tech, sharpen skills. It's all worth it. Wouldn't want to work in any other industry except Victoria's Secret model photographer.

Looking at the global median income and coloring it with the mean revenue per user paints an incorrect picture. Advertisers are not paying even $35/yr for the attention of people making the global median wage.

US attention is the most valuable because it is the richest large nation and the largest rich nation.

European attention comes a distant second. Together they have 40% of the global GDP, but likely something like 60-70% of the consumption of non-essential goods in nominal terms. Accordingly, average advertiser cost per clock differs ~10x between the cheapest and most expensive groups of countries.

Block out focus time in your calendar during the work day. Spend that time walking/running/cycling/doing push-ups/whatever. While you’re doing it, think about whatever problems you’re working on.

You’ll come back with way better ideas and solutions than you would have generated at your desk. You’ll have built up enough dopamine that you’ll be able to actually apply them effectively.
That should be a good signal for ranking algorithms as well with the subscription price disincentivizing bots.

Plenty of people read/listened to that. Perhaps nobody called it, but a lot of people aren't shocked.

I think more people have "called" the collapse of Tether, but you know, eventually maybe they will be right?
Kernel engineer. Yeah, I enjoy it. I like operating systems, data structures, security considerations, low level code... so that's a good fit.

It shifted my hobby projects to get even "lower" level though, which now has a lot of signal processing and electrical engineering, both in the analog (with some RF) and digital (including FPGAs) domain. I am determined to absolutely not let my job creep towards that direction, I want it to stay separate. Fortunately, I'm nowhere near experienced enough for anyone to consider that jump anyway.

By now a relatively long time ago, I was privately talking to a former employee of the company I'm now working at about hobby stuff. He said I seem to enjoy the relevant things, so asked for a CV and referred me. I didn't know where he was working at the time, so this was entirely organic, and got me an internship at first.
Podman works the same way.
This is a great preview of what will happen in the wake of the Great Tether Collapse.
Weird question. The trouble with web automation tools such as Selenium and beautiful soup is that they require specific instructions to parse html. So it's difficult to auto scrape websites if several websites have a different html layout or any website simply decides to change it's html. Would it be possible to create a neural network model that could be trained to parse html as a human would? Or an AI for that matter that could break Google's captcha. I'm surprised that that still works given the advances in image recognition. If both are possible, the security on the web may quickly become a thing of the past.
That's actually a very good point (though still a niche market). For those of us having relatives/friends in distant places (or colleagues in the global workforce), this could be immensely useful. I do think this is far from a ubiquitous need though, outside of troubled times/environments like the global pandemic.
The real value of (some) art is in being able to artificially inflate the book value through sham transactions, then donate it to a charity for an income tax deduction worth more than the original acquisition price.
For anyone still complaining about this pivot, ad revenue is already drying up due to new privacy laws and initiatives by platform owners like Apple. XR (AR/VR) offers a potential future for meta even though the hurdles are hard
I just tried Kagi and was surprised that my open source project shows up in the results for relevant keywords. All the other search engines I tried bury it completely out of view no matter how specific the keywords are. It makes me wonder how many other indie projects like mine are excluded from mainstream search engine results.
You have been unfortunately and predictably downvoted.
I'm a big fan of crypto but at least the idea of passing the hot potato til it crumbles in to nothing is a reasonable worry. Every stonk has that same exact issue.
The bitcode Apple used for their platforms was at a much, much lower level than bytecode used on Android.
