I agree. I just worry that the current Supreme Court would gut the bureau and similar, pro-consumer bodies.

Cryptoland’s Game of Thrones Just Saw a Major Coup
This is a great piece of tech. But of course, game companies don’t care much about players after they sell their game. I don’t expect many old games to adopt this, but I expect new ones because it’s going to be a selling feature. In general, expect a IPv6-level of adoptation for this feature.
Right, but typically ACH is only reversed in cases of fraud, not because of some consumer issue (the product wasn't what I expected). And it's not an easy process to complete, it can take months to have access to your funds again.
Classic mistake.

FOSS is not about making money. In fact, it's antithetical to making money.

Thanks! Yeah, I've spelunked many corners of reddits, discords, twitter, and geekhack forums for the posts so far, but happy with what it has overall. Initially started as just an upload of bookmarks. Feel free to share your setup when ready!

Curating what's been there helped me find some ideas less common or at the edge of the keyboard/cyberdeck scenes, and inspired me finally start prototyping. Stay tuned.

There's definitely other things I've found but didn't post if it felt too keyboard-focused (plenty of other subreddits doing that), or too boutique & cyberdeck-y (i.e. not everyday use).

The first AR glasses will be close to dummy terminals. For them to become feasible, wireless networking infrastructure has to become low-latency, high-reliability, and high-throughput – but not necessarily ubiquitous. There's no need to have powerful compute in a small form-factor if that can be outsourced to nearby servers, and this is something that could be possible in the confines of a major city, and the hardware would be rolled out much like another mobile carrier.

Could replace the laptop. If we can get unlimited virtual screens and accurate enough hand tracking to replace the keyboard, I could see people carrying the headset around instead.

I’m kind of tempted by the idea of sugaring it using symbol properties such that one could use obfuscating names without breaking the elegant alpha compare and convert.
Many Hollywood movies depicting war or any military related things have the sponsorship (or are co-scripted) of the DoD, mostly as a recruitment tactic, the same way they pay for the anthem to be played at NFL games.

How else can you get a bunch of kids to have as a life long dream to kill and be killed? You make it look cool and glamorous and hide the nasty bits. If war movies were real they'd all end up with your team half dead in combat and the other half committing suicide back at home from the PTSD.

VR gaming also suffers from having a stationary gamer. Sitting still and looking around only really works for certain game types. If I’m always looking forward, how is VR adding to the experience?
I actually agree with you. Its not a good theory for finding optimal speed.

I would say it's more of a better theory for optimal organization and reuse of code. It's a theory of interfaces. If programming is all about abstraction then CT is the theory of design and abstraction.

I agree that detail and speed and execution are important in computer science but these things maybe aren't general enough as the efficiency of speed also relies on which turing complete language (out of an unlimited set of languages) that is used to drive the computation.

We also do have a general theory for optimizing speed. Computational Complexity theory. Which is based on Knuth's little assembly language. This theory can literally help you converge onto the best possible solution. Not by calculation but it can quantify the speed of an algorithm for definitive comparisons.

But then would complexity theory be the Maxwell's equations of programming? I think there's a good argument for that route but I don't think that's what the OP is thinking about in his article.

The op is thinking about design because Lisp is definitely a design philosophy. Lisp won't help you design an internet communication protocol for low latency either.

Maybe you did study category theory deeply but your thinking about it from an angle of computational cost. This is certainly valid. Apologies for that comment, Haskell and CT like any other design pattern out there is usually not targeted specifically at optimizing speed, but more for optimizing code reuse and increasing modularity. It's for dealing with technical debt and how to handle the complexity of programming through abstraction.

If you're thinking about it from that angle then I think the universe already has your answer. Computational Complexity theory is the Maxwell's equations of software. It's not a very complete theory but it's much more concrete then all the other "design" stuff in computer science.
This is exciting news! Is there an issue or something similar I can subscribe to to track progress?
Kinda ironic that this links to a site that is almost unreadable on an iPhone (14 pro max if you’re wondering).
Extreme respect to the developer for not including the "industry standard" clientside tracking/analytics/phone-home in this app. The fact that this runs locally on-device and doesn't send any information to anyone anywhere about what you're doing on your local device is wonderful.

All apps used to be like this, and now the ones that actually respect user privacy are a rare and glorious exception. Thank you!
I see this from time to time myself where someone points out how bad the results are, but different results for me when trying the example. However, there are certain other things that I have searched for myself that absolutely resulted in crap results from SEO/blogspam type of results. So I know 100% it happens.

What I'm wondering is how much of your recognized fingerprint influences the results? What causes results to be different from user to user using the same search query?

Wow.. I think Mr. Bankman's wealth was $100 billion in Jan 2022 according to a Fortune estimate. I wonder what would have happened had CZ not made that tweet. Hmm...makes you wonder who profited from all of this. Imagine if binance bought puts on BTC before this announcement.
Automation. Bringing manufacturing back isn't going to be affordable with our labor costs. We can only do it via automation.
Personally, whenever I want to search anything about TV shows (particularly the most recent ep), games (particularly sticky ones like rimworld or factorio), I quite literally search directly on Reddit, bc the Google results are never relevant

For all of the old Microsoft's faults, they really did an excellent job with backwards compatibility. Now things are a mess and I fear that you are right. It really isn't the developers fault imo. OS really should be more stable.
Whilst mild, a much too vulgar display of power.
Imagine you have a business cutting up ice in the mountains, and shipping it to hot places. The refrigerator is invented, threatening your bottom line. Is the right thing to do to go into refrigeration?

Nope. You don't know anything about it, and have no experience with manufacturing. The truth is, you should get the money you can out of your firm and wind it down.

You could try to buy a refrigerator business of course, but would you be a competent owner? What you know is shipping ice.

None of the executives at Facebook knew anything about making a good VR social experience. They seem to have created an expensive failure, and that isn't a surprising result. They do know a lot about content moderation, and from what I can tell, that part was extremely well thought out.

Well if teaching length justified the title of Maxwell's equations I would agree with you. CT does take longer to learn.

However if foundational theory was what justified the title, I believe CT is more foundational then lambda calculus.
How easy is it to use one of these to do actual automation (not testing)? Say I wanted to login to an SPA, navigate to a page and download a file?

Asking mainly because there’s a tool I have use without an API and if I could script something like that it would make my life a lot easier. Just never tried that type of thing before.
So their cost basis was $150mm. What was the highest valuation FTX was marked at? I'm curious what the real change in value was for this fund.
Your idea of "normal people flush with cash" is ... private equity lol. It's incredibly common for companies to spin off random LLCs to buy up whatever they want.
I agree with the post you're responding to, and make a lot more commits than I share with my team. Pushing commits to a shared branch is where work is shared.

At my current employer, we used to use Perforce, and in that world you're totally right that committing (submitting in Perforce terminology, IIRC) did share changes. In that context, we developed a lot of bad patterns, losing code or holding up other people's work while a developer got their work ready to share. Transitioning to git has been super painful, due mainly to people treating git as if it's the same sort of thing as Perforce...

Thanks for this! I was curious if the windows dev kit would be a good arm64 container build box, but I wasn't sure if getting Docker or buildah etc. on there would be a pain. Sounds like this is totally doable.
It’s been a really doozy for me too, doubly so for local k8s in Docker (kind/k3s). I’ve tried a whole lot of variations, it’s hard and harder to scale across hundreds of devices.
I frequently see such comments about sites not loading fine on iPhone 13/14, while they continue to load just fine on for me on a 4 year old Android device (not pixel / Samsung).

I wonder if it's the hardware or just the blockers that i use. Might be worth trying using blockers to see if it makes the general browsing experience better on Apple devices
Right. HyperV only does eh... Well, they do 9P for WSL2, but not for HyperV itself. This is one of our issues. We work with the virtiofs team to get this resolved, but their implementation targets Linux first. We hope to see Microsoft adopting this too. We are glad to help. Especially as the current 9P implementation for WSL2 has known syncing and performance issues. On a VM you would have to resort to CIFS, sshfs or something else... Which are all not ideal for locally attached storage

As a long time test automation dev, I would never want to be tasked with e2e browser automation again. I did that for a brief period in my career. It didn't feel like real coding. The tests always seemed like they were barely less maintenance than manual testing. I'm curious how big the e2e web tests suites are for best in breed web software. My opinion has been to minimize the amount of e2e browser tests and do app integration tests solely against the API (assuming there is one!), but I've never specialized in web app testing.

Exactly how do you think Google (and Bing, and ...) work? They do start from known indexes, in particular wikipedia. Hell, Google even has internal papers where they claim they improved search quality by "wikipedia's" as a unit.
Thanks! I'd love to hear that.

A while back I thought about making my maps in QGIS, but found the stuff for styling the map just... lacking. It was a LOT easier to do what I wanted in Illustrator. But there was still the problem of getting the bare vectors into there for styling.

Holy grail for me would be some sort of OSM -> Affinity where I can define groups based on OSM tags.
Video conferencing sucks. It's so much worse than a conversation with physical or simulated physical presence. I'd much rather have that sense of presence and having experienced that in VR I can say if the tech improves people will likely go for it.

You lose so many cues, tells and deep interactions that you get with a physical presence via video call. I have seen VR start to solve some of these and I think it will be pretty big if we get to the point where the cartoony graphics are ditched.
Yeah, just like cash. Are you saying cash has no place in society? Certainly not I'd imagine - it has plenty of upsides. You just have to understand the risk model and what you can and cannot do with it.
The problem is who is doing the crafting. (And the approving.) At least squash based approach limits to 1 the number of commits an untrustworthy "crafter" can occupy.

I would buy the quest, but doing any kind of business with Facebook feels dirty to me, I'd rather wait and get something from a company I respect.
The tech is super early stage, having worked in VR for 6 hours a day for a month I can tell you it's very barebones. This tech is nascent, hell the oculus quest only came out in 2019.
We're agreeing on the economic and cultural realities, I think. What I'm saying is that it's the economic reality that matters, long term. The article is talking about generations long trends, and on that time scale culture is completely mutable.

> And my answer is that you don't. If you want content moderation

DNS isn't content. And protection against scammers, squatters etc. isn't moderation.

It's funny how even the most primitive societies had rules, and laws, and ways to upholding them. But the crypto utopia where "NFTs make sense for DNS" is invariably "you don't get these protections" and "engineering is full of trade offs"

> Trust is a necessary ingredient to most cool things, and as long as it's explicit trust I got no problem with it.

If there's trust you have exactly zero need for the crap that is blockchains etc. Because our society is built on trust.

> For certain very restrictive applications, the answer is clearly yes. IPFS users host each others' content all the time.

IPFS is really, really small. But when police comes knocking at your door for storing someone else's child porn, you will quickly learn that blindly storing someone else's content will not help you.

> But can "hosting" here be safely expanded to a wider and more useful set of actions?

Of course not. Because you keep assuming that trust is a technical/engineering problem. It's not.
You know, I'm not sure if you're down to hear this, but chances are if you upvoted this article, you're a man upvoting an article by a man, and there's a bunch of men in the comments talking about how inoffensive they find the word "guys" when applied to groups. And, these men are probably downvoting comments that suggest that they may be the sensitive ones, who should just alter their language slightly, like they do routinely when new buzzwords and tools and techniques come up in their jobs.

That value costs money. A parent poster posited someone for whom ~$100 was a lot of money. You speak of professional work. I don't think the intersection of these two groups exist. Casual users with no money can use krita gimp darktable and be reasonable satisfied. Demanding professionals even in poorer parts of the world can use the wages earned to easily pay $100.

it's not about defining, it's about owning that the present is the way it is because of harms inflicted on certain groups. and, knowing that, perhaps finding ways to make amends so that the best ideals of the present can be applied to everyone. some groups still do not have opportunities or possibilities because of the ripples of the past.

to take your 1619 Project example. generational wealth has vast differences between black families and white families because of Jim Crow. as a society that supposedly prides itself on equal opportunity for all, we have not lived up to that and it creates a dissonance in the ways in which we say we hold certain ideals but act counter to those ideals.

since this is HN, if a CEO said one thing and behaved differently, you'd lose faith in that CEO. same thing applies to national image and national identity.

Everything he says on the email makes sense, except 7 years later I don’t believe anyone other than Apple will be able to build realistic AR hardware any time soon, and no one will care that Meta was first with their platform. Apple can easily build the platform/ecosystem on top of what they already have overnight, once their hardware has cornered the market.
Video chats drop body language, natural speaking cues, reduces the quality of group conversations and more. VR even with some of the tech today restores a bit of that and gives the feeling of presence. I'm excited to see where we're at with it in 10 years, I agree that today we're not there.
