I've been a complete cynic of VR/AR since in started. I just didn't see any point to it ourside games (which don't interest me).

But someone in our office had a Quest Pro and I was blown away. It's the first time I've ever felt like I wanted to use or build thing in or for VR, and it was the Mixed Reality mode that make it like that.

Unlike this review, I found mixed review very impressive. I suspect it was because I was viewing it primarily as a VR device with just some limited capability for real world interaction as opposed to an AR device. I think when viewed through a VR-first lens it's very impressive.

I still don't know what I'd actually want to use it for, but it was the first time I felt like Meta might be actually onto something.
Every time I try to get a project going with truffleruby, I get all kinds of dependency problems. I haven't had the patience to resolve all of the library problems yet, so I give up.

> the fact is, we live in a world where a tiny number of people have an outsized amount of power. We - by which I mean the loose network of left-wing radicals - tried our best to solve it politically. But we couldn’t. So now we try a different tactic. Whenever a tech billionaire is at the top of his game - raking in billions of dollars, buying up newspapers, considering a run for Governor - we send him an invitation to the Innovation Forum. He’s honored! He always thought of himself as a practical man of business, not the sort of person who goes to Innovation Forums and pontificates to thought leaders about the future of mankind. But maybe it’s just that the world is finally recognizing his genius! So he clears his calendar for a few days, puts off inventing a new superlaser, and attends the Forum. And then a little later, he gets an invitation to the Tech Futures Colloquium, and he thinks - yes, I deserve to go to that one too. And so he clears his next week’s calendar . . .”

“And then you invite them to so many Colloquia that they don’t have time to accrue more money and power?”

“You’d be surprised how few it takes! At that level, you spend most of your time just keeping on top of what you’re already doing. A Forum or two a month is enough to bring most billionaires from actively expanding their influence to just treading water. Sometimes they even get addicted. Like Peter Thiel; I don’t think the poor dear has made a business decision in years.”

my god. Scott just made the case for Innovation Forums.
If they’re not going to show the raw data I suspect it would make more sense to show the ratio of the ranks.
Yes and no. If I draw an extra 10 kWh one random hour and export 10 kWh back at some other random hour, this costs the utility essentially nothing. The transformer is already there, and other customers near me will consume it possibly without even involving the transformer.

(I say “essentially” because there is some tiny loss in the system, but that’s maybe 2%, not 70%.)
I hope someone bought you a beer
My guess is that very sentence would be used as evidence in court - “see, even they don’t think they have enough to win!”

Leverage in court, so it’d be used to lessen payouts.
That exchange mentions Musk but perhaps Twitter is the ultimate Innovation Forum.
The overall problem is more or less solved, it just adds equipment to the installation, both to make the power usable and also to ensure that it is isolated from the grid.
Analogies are terrible but I’ll bite—

Imagine if you will there’s a peak demand for pizzas (dunno maybe Super Bowl?) and the pizza company is struggling to deliver enough pizzas. You come in and say hey Mr Pizza Company I’ll help out with that demand and make pizza for you, and so will my other neighbors and we’ll help you supply pizza. Mr Pizza Company takes your pizza and sells it but only pays you a fraction of what they charged their customers. And on top of that charges you for making pizza for them. This is what you get in return. Except you’re making pizza everyday and giving it to the pizza company so they can sell your pizza out in the market first before they sell theirs. The greatest trick played.
isn't most stuff elliptic curve now?
This is a known thing that happens with bad drivers, they can mess with user-mode FP flags. For a while (IIRC) Cisco's VPN software was corrupting FP state and causing Firefox to hang/crash, for example.

At a previous company we had to run a dll in our web servers (provided by the payment processing company) for PCI compliance reasons, and we later discovered it was messing with our FP flags and as a result serialization code was producing invalid floats. That was a fun one.
That's about what I got. I remember there were a few different avenues to get different types of compensation. One was reimbursement for any costs incurred because of the breach. I had bought some identity theft insurance at some point after the breach so I claimed that. As well as some other stuff, maybe a credit karma thing. They sent all kinds of requests for information after that trying to disqualify any and all claims, which I don't think I actually did. But I did end up with a whopping $21.

>Look at first generation immigrants from third world countries. They tend to have a ton more kids than the existing populace, while at the same time being much poorer than average.

The data below indicates otherwise.

I assume it is because contraception is far more available.

See figure 3, showing foreign born vs native born statistics for US. Both show big drops in fertility rate between 1990 and 2019:

This website has graphs showing steep declines in birthrates for immigrants:

>In 2019, immigrant fertility dropped below 2.1 children on average, which is the level necessary to replace the existing population.
Steam Reviews really should be a model for everyone else imo. They still have problems such as review bombing, but they are way better than anything else.
After that support cycle ends, the phone will rapidly become less and less useful. I could've bought a OnePlus One 8 years ago and still have Android 11 or 12 from custom ROM support, or some Linux distribution.
There is a learning curve. If you jump straight into the 5 on 5 matches without some basics down it’s not much fun. Do some single player against bots. Then play coop against bots. Then do multiplayer gun game. Once you can win a round of gun game, IMO, you are ready for assault, uplink and escort.

The main thing is knowing maps and the radio. A team that uses the radio well and can call out locations will destroy a team of sharp shooting lone wolfs.

There are people who take it serious and those that are trying to figure things out. It’s all good. People will teach you things. Also the competitive lobbies are marked as such, so just avoid those.
Per the article:

"Equium claims that the heat pump system is completely silent, despite the use of a speaker to generate the acoustic wave. The level of noise is reportedly lower than 30 dB – the equivalent of a whisper."
Funny how many names I'd assumed were common are, evidently, not popular at all anymore. For instance, I would have guessed Melissa (#372) and Brittany (#934) would have been at least in the top 100.

They were probably just popular around my birth year and therefore I've been exposed to them a lot amongst my cohort.
Laundromats look like rented parking space to me: a way to utilize a space that would otherwise be lost, but won’t be anywhere near the revenue of actually having a full business/tenant in that spot.

In some areas laundromat are basically cost/revenue neutral and inly make sense as a service to the community and keeping the light on.
Super compelling screenshots, but isn’t the thesis of “Meta Quest Pro (not?) viable for work” best proven out by somebody actually doing a shiny project using one? And if nobody does then maybe it really is for sure snake oil?

For example the the pix comparing the headset to high-end Canon VR180 .. that suggests maybe the viz should just be bigger?

Great write-up about the faults, but there’s gotta be a work task that can work? Beyond beat saber?

Freedom and anarchy are not the same thing.
From this [0] NPR piece:

Helium is the only element on the planet that is a completely nonrenewable resource.

On Earth, helium is generated deep underground through the natural radioactive decay of elements such as uranium and thorium. "It takes many, many millennia to make the helium that's here on the Earth," says Sophia Hayes, a chemist at Washington University in St. Louis. The helium seeps up through the Earth's crust and gets trapped in pockets of natural gas, where it can be extracted.

Like hydrogen, its immediate predecessor on the periodic table, helium is lightweight. But unlike hydrogen, it doesn't readily combine with other elements. So, once helium reaches the surface, it can easily escape the Earth's gravitational pull.

Other resources, such as oil and gas, may turn into pollution or be difficult to recycle. But only helium physically disappears from the planet. "It's the one element out of the entire periodic table that escapes the Earth and goes out into outer space," Hayes says.

Personally, I actively reject this distinction between AR & MR. For as long as I've been aware of the concept, the term "Augmented Reality" covered both use cases, including virtual objects embedded into the real world. The distinction never struck me as interesting or useful; virtual objects embedded into the real world being the most useful way to interact with augmentations to the real world.

Moreover, "Mixed Reality" strikes me as marketing-speak. Compare the search trends for AR [1] vs MR [2]. While both terms have been in use for a long time, AR was always more prevalent, with a notable rise in interest around 2009. My first encounter with the term MR was in marketing materials for Microsoft's HoloLens circa 2015. Now compare the search trends for MR [2] with HoloLens [3]. Searches for MR don't begin to trend upward until after the introduction of HoloLens, where Microsoft's marketing materials tried to make a big deal of said distinction and the rest of the world started to run with it. As a supporting argument for the original broader usage of the term AR, I'll cite discussions of a 2007 anime series, Dennō Coil [4], which explored various examples of fantastical AR usage. Probably just a coincidence, but the search trends for Dennō Coil [4] do precede the search trends for AR [1] rather closely.

Naturally, all the usual caveats about word meanings changing over time apply, but this one is a pet peeve of mine.

Agree with this perspective. As rumored, this headset seems totally un-Apple-like in both form and purpose. It has the same general problem as with all VR headsets: they’re bulky, uncomfortable, and expensive.

So I can only see this being geared toward developers and enthusiasts to get a head start on developing killer VR and especially AR apps, which will be useful when the technology allows for lightweight headsets and glasses. Apple’s been rumored to be developing AR glasses for a while now.

Regardless, I’m very keen to see Cook and co. get up on stage and present their vision since they’re still the largest influence in consumer tech trends.
American Samsung phones don't even let you unlock the bootloader. My friends have had to import Exynos-based Samsung phones to the US to truly own the hardware we bought.
It's going to be chilling on the roof.
Physics-wise, if there's a useful working fluid in the temperature and pressure range you want, it can be done.

The problem then is power. Refrigerators are power hungry. Space exploration tends to be desperately short on power-- there's not a lot of sources of electricity that are happy to spend ten years at -100C and then spring forth to produce volts at quantity and with minimal mass. A heat engine is right out. (Where would the cold sink come from?) Batteries are tough. RTGs have terrible engineering challenges-- plus they'll use up a lot of half-life during the coast phase to Venus.

Given that design space, a Venus lander (that isn't built to operate at Venus temps) would probably have a battery and a store of internal coolant that undergoes phase change and is dumped overboard. A big block of water ice, or depending on the constraints, something more exotic.

>drops to 20C

Don't have to get that cold, fortunately. There is a considerable domestic demand for ultrahot electronics for wellhead sensors in oil exploration. (The head of a drill string needs to have some smarts for remote sensing-- figuring out if the rock you're drilling through has any oil in it. If you've got the money, you can buy a microcontroller than can run all day and night at 220 Celsius! https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/texas-instruments...

I like sports cars that have the top go down.

Didn’t have any real connection or soul.

Terrible seats for driving on backroads. Super hard to stay in place. Kept sliding all over the seat due to no bolstering.

I was considering buying an Ariel atom around the same time I was looking at a Tesla - if that gives you any idea of what I like.
Non-binary DDR5 ? Of course, the pronoun is “it”.

What area is this?
Yes, I am in fact saying that, in the Donbass, Ukranian citizens began to move out of the territory invaded by an adversary whose ultimate goal was to incorporate it into their territory.
No glimpse of hype from these folks. Wouldn’t it be better to always include a call to action in some form?
One of the first steps of a runaway AI attempting to secure its presence would likely be inference/GPU/TPU compute access. And code injection is a vector. There are multiple other vectors.

But, perhaps considering AI as an adversary is a bad idea. And alignment along the “Love is all you need” lines is the actual solution. Tricky problem…
> Is there a way to abstract away these extra configuration steps and keep it simple yet secure by default?

No, sorry.

The way it works in the cloud is, you build some infrastructure, you give that infrastructure the ability to contact a secrets management service, and you either A) configure a container orchestrator to look up a secret when your service starts and inject it at start time (either as an env var or as a file), or B) your service itself looks up the secret using permissions inherited from the environment it has started in (such as an instance metadata service).

You could fake all of that in a crappy way by running an additional service which is just a web server with a complicated random URL for each secret you want, configure each service to declare an environment variable which is the complicated random URL, and have each service curl the URL at start time to retrieve a secret. But that's not less configuration, it's slightly more. The only benefit is that you can kill the secret service after the URLs have been grabbed, leaving the secret only in memory (and assuming the URL was rotated every time this whole thing started, would make them temporary, sort of).

But, as a hacker, that would all only present small challenges which I would eventually work around once I find an attack to read from memory or execute code. So unless you need super duper extra security for some reason, just use what you've got.
I had a Zenfone 2 as well and my main complaint was battery life.

It was definitely more power hungry than comparable competitors and not noticeably faster.
I guess if you don't want to be charged under terrorism laws, you have to go rob a 7/11, besides. (Be careful not to rob a 9/11 instead -- rookie mistake.)
How does this compare to the energy efficiency/cost of gas-powered water heater?
That's why both sides get experts.

Your reasoning is extremely reductive – I can't tell if you're just trying to win an argument here. You could say people will be misleading about anything. Your doctor, the police, the DMV clerk. At some point, you have to recognize you live in a society, and society is built on some level of trust and fairness.
> Free universal childcare, free universal child healthcare, legally-mandated accommodations with government enforcement for childbirth ... would massively change the equation

Norway and Finland have all of that and yet their birth rates are 1.48 and 1.37. Germany, Belgium and Netherlands too have those goodies and yet have a birthrate around 1.55. So your premise seems faulty.
So you auto renew every 90 days. Is that really a problem vs doing it every year or so with a paid cert? What am I missing?
I just rented an apartment in Seattle and was surprised by the apparently high vacancies (many units in buildings we looked at were not rented but also not on the market).

I actually think sites like HN would thrive in the AI era. There's 0 incentive to "farm Karma" here using AI. There's no point in being here except having a human conversation.

If you feel that way - you’ve likely never been actually prosecuted.

It tends to really bring the contrast out in the shit spectrum.

It can almost always get worse.
It’s cheating! The extra energy comes from the environment. It’s much easier to steal the heat energy out of the outside air (or out of the ground in colder climates, because it stays warmer) than to create the heat yourself.

Producing heat can only be COP=1 if it’s 100% efficient, but you can use the same amount of energy to move three, four, even five times as much heat to or from the outside (moving heat the opposite direction is the way air conditioners work).
Conversely I used to have a friend who actually said "lol" instead of laughing - I guess that was lololing?
I really like costco, but I'm not sure if they are that mindful.

I bought a treadmill from costco, a proform 2000 pro.

It said stuff in a weasely way 1-year iFit membership included (internet required for ifit).

I didn't care about that at all.

I just plugged it in and after a bunch of "now lets set up your treadmill" screens and asking for wifi access... you can see "manual mode" in the corner of the screen.

That's all you get. You can press start and then press the speed or incline buttons but nothing really useful.

I called them and they said there are canned workouts that will unlock if you connect it to the internet, but without doing that, you only get manual mode. jerks.
There are a lot of factors involved here, sounds like you might've had a coalescence of fortuitous ones. I would not consider getting off shot freebie as the standard input cost. Also I'm assuming your home is already well insulated like most homes in places with more serious winters.

But the average house and older homes especially (in northeast esp) have poorer insulation. Heat pumps are still very expensive and for many need backup for extreme weather or require major inconvenience.

Not to mention how expensive electricity is, and the fact that it's getting more expensive.
$5.21 should be enough to buy a new identity on the darkweb and rotate to it. For maximal security you should make sure to rotate your identity every 18 months.
I don't think there's a consensus, but there are some good modern options. I think poetry is a good choice, and it seems to be fairly popular. I use it for all my Python projects and haven't found a compelling reason to switch to another option in the past few years.

As to the question of whether you should ever use pip to install packages globally, the answer is almost always no. For command line tools, the best option IMO is pipx. The second best option is pip install --user.

If you're developing a library or application, you should always isolate it in a virtualenv, which is something poetry will handle for you when you run `poetry install`.
Unless you're doing this for work which involves international relations, why would you ever need to call such places outside your own country? I live outside my home country and have never needed to make an international call.
Having no prior experience with npm/node build system will make learning any framework hard.

Sveltekit is the easiest framework to learn so I'd suggest you start from there.
I stopped reading such kind of articles. Every paragraph starts similar and one reads in in the hope for some new or additional information only to realise at the end of the paragraph that same was said in different words. All the while I was scrolling past ads that get wedged in between the paragraph lines...

Couldn't agree more. Having said that, I'm very happy with the Dark Hacker extension [1], and have been using it for years.
