I’m aware of several flight simulators that support VR headsets. For those who don’t get queasy using VR in a simulated aircraft, it is an excellent benefit:

In real life, many tasks like flying the landing pattern or joining a busy area of lift require constantly scanning both the instrument panel and outside the plane, at various angles.

If you use a standard monitor, you’re teaching your hands to push buttons that switch the direction of view. If you use VR, you teach yourself to look around with your head.

If you are flying for the purpose of training yourself to fly in real life, or practising skills you’ll use in a real aircraft, the latter is -referanke, all other things being equal.

Eventually develop a whole methodology around launching pizza. Use a smooth floured wooden paddle. Know how much sauce a certain dough can hold before sticking. Avoid ingredients in sizes that tend to fall off. Test motion before putting in the oven, and if its sticking know that you can reflour under it piece by piece but attempting to launch a even slightly sticking pizza will always end in disaster.
If I brake check someone on the highway, causing an accident, and it’s discovered that that’s what happened, I’d be pretty shocked* if the trailing driver was found responsible.

... and when people think quoting David Graber is an accurate assessment of reality. Or simply google ample rebuttals to Graber's entire thesis, well backed with empirical evidence, such as [1], "Alienation Is Not ‘Bullshit’: An Empirical Critique of Graeber’s Theory of BS Jobs", which categorically demolishes this stupid line of claims via careful empirical research across large numbers of people. "The proportion of employees describing their jobs as useless is low and declining and bears little relationship to Graeber’s predictions."

And a large amount of people believing a thing are not the same thing as truth, as evidenced by countless mass misconceptions from the trivial to the insane.

The problem with ideas like this, just like any number of wild ideas, is that they're easier to manufacture than accurate explanations, so there's more of them, and people with itchy brains love to latch onto them, but they pass by over and over without people actually realizing they're all the same nonsense - wishful simple explanations for complex phenomena.

And then people regurgitate it over and over on the internet because it sounds nice to them, but they cannot be bothered to see what follow-up actual scholars did to debunk it.

For example, if all these jobs are bullshit, then start a company with none of them, and crush all the others since they're wasting sooooo much time and money and resources...

But that has happened exactly zero times. And will happen zero times more. Care to explain why short of invoking massive Illuminati world conspiracy nonsense?

I believe reality.

> Have you watched the video? Its freeway speeds, a decently busy freeway, at a tunnel entrench that’s curving. Plus the car switched to the passing lane and abruptly stopped.

The Tesla car switching and abruptly stopping was a big problem, and I can understand that first car having trouble, but for cars behind the first one they should ideally all be keeping a distance ready for suddenly hitting the brakes in an emergency. I find at least in Australia a decent number of drivers do not keep an adequate distance from the car in front for emergency braking.

As the original creators of the Dockerfile, we take that as a compliment :)

Our goal generally is not to replace Dockerfiles with Go. In most cases, that is not a desirable goal, for the reasons you listed. However, we do think you should replace the YAML spaghetti that is your CI/CD configuration with code. That is what people use Dagger for, and in the process they often find themselves building Docker containers as part of their pipeline logic, now freshly ported to Go. As a result we frequently get asked the question: "can I rewrite my Dockerfile to Go, since I'm wrapping it in a Go pipeline anyway? Should I?". This blog post is an answer to that question.
> HoloKit, originally a Google Cardboard-like AR device for the iPhone, has been relaunched

Is it more than a premium version of Google Cardboard? I can't tell. The "Technical Specs" mention "optical lenses" but otherwise mention no hardware details--well, other than the bring-your-own items (iPhone, Airpods, Apple Watch)...
A lot of very common operations can panic: division, dereferencing a pointer, invoking an interface method, indexing/slicing an array/slice/string, asserting the type of an interface, and converting a slice to pointer to array. It’s possible to check, but I’ve never seen a tool that verifies you never use any of these without checking. You also have to check for nil channels, though they block forever (maybe consuming a goroutine) rather than panicking.

And there are some operations where you cannot check in advance whether a panic will happen: comparing interfaces (underlying values might not be fully comparable), indexing a map (could blow up during any concurrent write), sending to a channel (might be closed), and closing a channel.
It is pretty easy to have accidental panics in Go, for instance due to a runtime assertion that unexpectedly failed
it seems they really wanted for iphone to think that it in the correct position, like if it was in the user hand. Otherwise placing phone horizontally, flipping image and using some kind of periscope for the camera would make a more compact and much less "dorky" looking device.

Is it supposed to run existing iphone AR apps too?
I agree. For mathematicians it's getting usual that if you are famous enough, at your 60th birthday you organize a congress where you invite your famous enough colleagues (bonus points if they are from other universities or countries, I guess you have a few if you are famous enough).

I'm not sure if other professions have a similar event praising you before you are dead.

The point is 2022 installs have been business as usual rather than in response to spiking energy prices.

I also like it because without having to stay so heavily focused on my speed I can spend more time on situational awareness of the other cars around me than I would with traditional CC or no CC.
Plenty of games work at room scale, with foot locomotion in a small area. Beat saber, for example, is great and needs only a few feet of standing area, but there's also a ton of escape room games that work that way.

Don't discount teleportation based locomotion, either. You don't need to walk everywhere, and moving between rooms by fade-out works pretty well.
So I bought it and have been playing a while (just found Sahil) and I have to say, I'm super impressed by the ambition of the game. It's kind of a mix of Celeste and Fallout, I'd say? I like the atmosphere and universe, very Fallout-y. Still getting used to the controls (I suck at Celeste too).

I would broaden this to "conversations about health" in general on HN.

Regarding using a joystick to move around in VR, in my experience I wasn't very inconvenienced by it. I travelled immense distances in a variety of worlds and am glad to have not actually had to walk that far. I also found a preference for the original Vive's trackpads for movement over the Index's more conventional stick movement. The pad just felt more intuitive.

Walking around with 1:1 between VR and real space is indeed pretty cool, but I wouldn't want to do it full time in all games.
This is how humanity would respond to something new, not necessarily an alien race.
Yes, the connector works fine when used properly. The issue is that it doesn’t fail gracefully.

It might sound nit-picky, but this is a normal standard of engineering design safety.
Global Solar Atlas* gives a pretty good overview of the gains from solar that can be expected depending on latitude. North of France solar just isn't very efficient so to get a decent amount of power out of it would require setting up solar farms across large areas. Maybe setting up solar in pasture would work, but good luck getting that past the NIMBYs.

Wind is more attractive, but needs tons of infra work to be a proper solution and the power of atom can't be harnessed because of the stark lack of research and knowledge, the heavy upfront costs, and shenanigans from so-called "green" parties.

I'm guessing the politicians' battle plan is basically "hope someone else fixes it and lets me take credit."

> In the short term I could see Tesla not supporting the driver and absolving themselves via fine line/TOS, etc

Imagine there is an 'autopilot' gun, you buy it, and it comes with the contract that says you take full responsibility got the gun.

Then it shoots me and kills me before you have a chance to react.

The prosecutor will go after the manufacturer. If manufacturer wrote code that kills me, you and any contract you signed is not even relevant.

You cannot contract away criminal responsibility. Otherwise I could contract away all my responsebilities to a random homeless guy.

A week ago, I Turo’d a Model Y for a week. We were driving around, 35 mph on a two way road with a bike lane.

We were going past a bicyclist in their lane appropriately. I had auto pilot engaged. As we passed the cyclist, they moved over towards us slightly, but never left the bike lane.

The car suddenly went into a full stop, which was a pretty quick stop.

I can understand the car may have thought the cyclist was going to go in front of the car, but the scenario wasn’t one in which a human wouldn’t have slammed the brakes. My wife commented that we’re lucky there weren’t cars. Whine is because they might not have reacted as quickly.

To me, this shows the potential danger of these safety systems false positives. Not that I wouldn’t continue to use the systems because I believe overall these systems make me safer than without them.

But as always, the danger isn’t the car I’m in, it’s the one driven by another driver who’s not paying attention.
I'm hoping for it to get sold off in the bankruptcy proceedings. Ideally bought by Automattic: they've been doing a decent job with Tumblr.

I've had autopilot try to execute a lane change at the same time a driver two lanes over was trying to do the same thing into the same spot. It was one of those unavoidable situations, but Autopilot corrected quickly back to its original lane without me needing to intervene.
Even the recommended 2 second following distance is insufficient when the vehicle in front of you comes to an immediate halt and there’s no room to switch lanes.

I agree. People take obvious failures as a meta-sign of "badness" and throw out the system and statistical information which we have which completely proves what we should do.

That said, at some point FSD could have been banned, it wasn't, and we are living in a world where it's likely saving lives on net. The only problem is if naive arguments to ban it are accepted despite them not actually challenging its net safety gains.
>You can't blame the Tesla for this.

It's so frustrating how mind-bogglingly polar everything has to be. Nothing in your entire post precludes the Tesla from being partially at fault. No matter how long you go on about how reckless American drivers are (and they are), none of it serves as one iota of evidence as to whether or not the Tesla behaved reasonably or whether its features were advertised properly. Why is absolutely everything either an admit-nothing attack on our "enemies" or an allow-nothing defense of our "allies"?
It seems unrealistic to assume that everyone on a reasonably sized team knows all of the subtle edge cases to avoid and never makes mistakes
Was the pizza place in Washington 2Amys?
Once again the brief period of excitement I had shortly before the closure of TechShop is roused. They very foolishly offered me three months free, and all of the classes I could take during that time, free! I did every class but the CNC embroidery. Completely hog wild.

In my defense, I was primed for it: extensive drafting courses, some engineering courses, the ability to do math with a parametric mindset, woodworking in high school, some focus on material when I was still on an engineering path before switching to physics, and so on. I just lit up and ran about the place like a crazed monkey churning out personalized knickknacks for friends, throwing together little projects, doing a spot of weird art.

All of the spaces are now faaaar away and I miss just banging out strange things on a whim.
I agree on the boom bust cycle, but if you're working the chain, once you become a certified electrician it is totally worth getting additional training on non residential things too. I don't know the lingo, but my general understanding from what my friends who are actually electricians tell me, is once you're licensed, its worth going the extra mile and piling on the extra certifications as insulation against market swings.

So for instance, one of the folks I know can do residential but also spent a year in the midwest learning how to wire up windmills. I guess that paid off in the last cycle when they had to pivot back and forth on jobs.

I just hate physical labor as a job, personally, but he makes almost as good of money as I do now, but my back will last past 50.
Not nit-picky at all, I think it's a good distinction. Thanks for the clarification.
In the NYC metro area we actually have a great supply chain for bread, it's New Jersey.
So if an automaker can make a system that is capable of handling any driving task safely but occasionally ran itself off the road on purpose for no reason, as long as it’s a net positive in lives saved it should be allowed?

I don’t agree with that assessment.

It needs to make fewer mistakes than humans at all times, not just most of the time. Great with a disaster here and there is terrible.
I'm partial to yEd! as it is built on a graph model and has good automated layout options. Unfortunately not open source, but free to use for most applications.
Accounts of the work suggest ski goggle like size for the first release.

But, form factor and weight are just some of the things that influence customer experience.

Apple’s other efforts, such as retinal authentication and automatic, motor-driven pupil distance adjustment remove other points of friction that interfere with enjoyment.

Apple identifies many rough edges in HW and SW that hold back a category.

Then it makes difficult compromises, sanding down a combination of them enough to meet release consideration.
> seems they really wanted for iphone to think that it in the correct position

I think they have this shape since it’s quite simple optics to have the iPhone screen be a “reflection” on the glasses while you can still see straight out through it. Kinda like looking out a window at night and seeing both your reflection and the outside at once.
In the police report, out of the 8 cars, only 3 cars were noted to have been driving unsafe for the stopped traffic ahead. The rest of the cars were propelled into the car in front by the car behind them hitting them.
I think every discussion like this should start with each commenter counting verbally to 3,700. That's the number of people killed on roadways worldwide every single day. [1]

And that's daily. It's only every few months that we see a story like this, and this one had no fatalities.

It's totally fair to criticize Tesla, Autopilot, and/or FSD, but these discussions always implicitly accept that the status quo is acceptable, and whether or not this technology should be allowed is debatable. The status quo is an unimaginable amount of human death and injury that we accept only because it's been normalized.

Delaying self-driving cars by one year comes at a cost of up to 1.35 million human lives [1]. That doesn't excuse failures like these, but the context should be understood.

Right, it's a reduction in benefits. And I'm no accountant but I'm pretty sure since vacation time used to be guaranteed, it had to be carried as a liability and this change means debt relief.

Code Is Not Prose
Single payer is good but it doesn’t solve the problem of really sick old people running up the bill for everyone. I don’t even see what the way out is. Really old people that are subjectively classified as irrecoverable have to get private insurance on top of single payer maybe otherwise you get cut off. That subjective decision maker will get called a “death panel” though. Someone’s got to make some hard decisions somewhere.
Do you have recommendations on what the average citizen should do if they get sick and need serious medical attention? I assume the options vary depending on amount of money available, but preferable for non-billionaires.
Yes. I agree. It burns nice and hot and clean when dry. I carved a small depression in a small limb for a pipe bowl for my cousin using a sharp pocketknife and finally ended up burning the rest of the bowl to a useful depth with a hot steel bolt. It's great wood and a beautiful yellow.
Sure my point had nothing to do with the user experience but the post-mortem on what to make of what actually happened and what needs to be done about it. In that context it is highly relevant.

I'm not sure what it is, but I'm in the camp that it's most likely a rock. But a very interesting rock! Especially considering it changed its trajectory but not its spin. It's extremely unlikely to be a probe because it's heading in a different direction from where it came from. And if it's an interstellar traveler, it's probably going too slow, or at least hasn't bothered to pick up speed as it exits.

I don't think we'll ever truly know enough about it. Even as just a rock, there's a ton to learn there! And sadly we'll only ever have a small slice of data about it.
