> Of course copyright should survive the creator.

Why "of course"? What purpose does it serve after the creator is dead?

Copyright is a temporary monopoly for the creator to be able to profit from their creation, when they are dead, there's no point to it anymore.
A less discussed headwind I see with the AR/VR adoption is the isolated and niche role of 3D more generally.

Its major in games, its important in some technical applications but the 3D metaphor is hard to make as interaction friendly as 2D.

All the hardware, physiological and cultural challenges with headsets come on top of this very peculiar starting point that somehow does not have the versatility of the flat screen UI
Before Durbin there used to be a lot of banks that offered points-earning debit cards. After Durbin, for many years SunTrust had a debit card that earned Delta miles. I think that's since moved to Truist. [1]

I guess it depends on what you mean by 'abuse.'

Is Truist abusing non-Durbin status by giving out points for PIN debit transactions? Or are all the other non-Durbin banks who give back nothing abusing the exemption by keeping the interchange?

Yes, maybe, since you can start working from the little pieces up to the big pieces, rather than the other way round. When you first see it, there could be all kinds of potential loci of interest being thrown at your face: the individual nodes, the neighbors of the nodes, the branching, the directionality, the depth of the thing, etc. so it takes you striking down the details you pick to not think about . So you start off with the biggest description of the possible solution space, unless you are trained seriously enough to just ‘see the answer’ without blinking to that first question of what to focus on. But if you get the complexity before hand, well that indexes quite swiftly into the potential domain spaces.
In its original form as in "transistors double every two years" it certainly already seems over. Apple silicon is at 5mn today, and Intel claims they'll conquer 3mn by 2030, so even these facts and theoretical statements already don't fit anymore.

We'll probably have a couple more innovations and might get to making a transistor out of a single atom (silicon atom is 0.262nm; carbon atom is 0.3).

5nm / (2*2*2*2) =~ 0.3

So I don't think we're done making faster hardware just yet, but we're certainly getting to the boundaries of what appears to be physically possible.
There are two distinct sets of homeless people: the ones passing through a homeless phase (many car-inhabitants in this group; shower at the gym; they work); and those with substance and/or (usually ‘and’) mental health issues (the ones you see everywhere in SF).

The first group gets through it, finds a job or a $20 greyhound fare to somewhere they have family, or where they can afford a home on what they can earn. The second group is stuck.

Treating these as though they are a homogenous group is super pointless. For one thing, the systems in place do support the first category and make it possible for them to escape homelessness. The second group — I’ll just say this: it’s not uncommon for Hollywood celebrities, who have access to infinite money and the most people who care intensely about them to help them get into rehab, to have massive substance and MH problems, and to OD or die by suicide. If they can’t even be helped, what amount of money and skilled intervention will cure every meth addict on the SF streets plus the new ones who arrive every day? (Without violating their civil rights by forcing them to get treatment)

Self-organization seems to work for a small % of open source stuff. There is a good piece of work around how these mostly self-organising communities are built, with a special focus on the ZeroMQ community [1]. Needless to say, it takes an enormous amount of effort and knowledge to get such a system going (so initial design and effort from particular individuals is a given).

Dead, but we're heading into new a new paradigm of hardware accelerators (encoders, decoders, AI-optimized chips, multi-die GPUs, ...) and new packaging systems (M1 SoC's, GPU Chiplets, ...), all powered by what was previously the big bottleneck, interconnection within these components (AMD's Infinity Fabric, Apple's UltraFusion, ...)
Hands-Free Coding (2020)
In some ways, the quest pro is better. The headset is thinner and lighter. It’s much easier to mod for comfort. It has more RAM and a faster chip. Hand tracking is noticeably better. I didn’t think I would enjoy an open headset, but I like it much better than the enclosed quest 2, but that’s personal preference since I primarily use it to workout and I like having awareness of my surroundings like when I play normal flat games. I believe it’s new PCVR features like foveated rendering and desktop mirroring are also advantages over the quest 2

Surprisingly, what’s worse are the pro controllers. If you have hand tracking turned on, you will constantly lose controller tracking. Even if you turn off hand tracking, you will still lose some controller tracking in fast paced games like beat saber. I am constantly also losing haptic feedback. The original controllers are superior for gaming.

You can pick up the pro from scalpers on eBay for -$800 if you don’t want to pay $1000 for retail. at $800, it feels more like a fair price.
It is probably in some way related to reddit. Reddit is just getting too gross. The signal to noise of educated people sharing interesting content vs "Americas funniest home videos" posts is just getting worse and worse.

It would be interesting to see if there are any major reddit changes correlated with the spike.

I think reddit occasionally puts me in a TikTok-ified home page a/b group which I find detestable.

I think sometime in the last year reddit also implemented "sign in to read" and locks you out of reading pages unless you go to old.reddit.com or sign in (for Ukraine content in particular). That just about ended reddit for me, and when they remove old.reddit.com, that will end reddit for me.
Almost correct, except for the fictional part about 3 being an N-th root of unity in GF(7) for all N. In reality 3 is a primitive element of the field - i.e. a generator of the multiplicative group, aka a primitive 6th root of unity. So it's confusing the concepts "primitive element" and "primitive N-th root".
The framework laptop has the potential to be a good platform for this.
There's two solutions here, either they are co-creators and then all the creators aren't dead or they aren't and they were never going to receive additional revenue beyond their work anyway.

Either way, that's not working as an argument against stopping copyright when the authors are dead.

You could look lower in the stack, e.g. at compilers, drivers, and libraries for GPUs and other accelerators. That's not a huge field, but still a decent number of jobs to go around.
In my own experience people typically do that when they have some experience in bash, none in python, and try to do something in python the way they would do it in bash. So for those my advice, instead of getting back again to bash is to get a bit curious about the python standard lib, which has a nice doc unlinke bash, and not assume they know everything about scripting just because they have spent a long amount of time writing bash script.

You can't use a US debit card online, because functionality for that just doesn't exist in the US banking system.

Edit, for clarity: You can't use it as a debit transaction. You can plug it into credit card systems, where it's run as a credit card transaction and interchange fees apply.

And they keep delivering new features to Pixelmator. More so than a lot of subscription-based products. It's one hell of a value.
Moore's law coming to an end gives more oppurtunities to exploit new ways of using tech that was not done until now since transistor sizing provided bigger updates. There are things like "More Moore" and "More than Moore" for a long time.

> No, Hitler was not part of Radiohead. Radiohead is a British rock band that formed in 1985¹. Hitler was a German dictator who died in 1945². The only connection between them is that Radiohead has a song called Karma Police where they mention a girl with a Hitler hairdo
> If your goal is to eat at a very specific restaurant, 4 miles away, this would take you less than 10 minutes by car, but could easily be 30 to 40 no car, with at least one transfer.

Just tried this out in my city, 6km away to a random point in a dense-ish environment (ie. not out in the suburbs):

* 19 minutes by bike

* 22 minutes by train

* 22 minutes by car

Note that this is a completely unfair comparison. The bike can likely be parked right outside, with the train walking is factored in. For the car this assumes there's parking near where I am, near the destination and that it takes no time at all to find a spot.

The only way to achieve the comparison you've made is to build exactly the kind of car-centric environment being criticized here. Bulldoze the neighboring stores to build car parks. Bulldoze entire neighborhoods to build urban freeways. Rip up tram and train tracks. Defund public transportation. The end result is that maybe your very specific restaurant only takes 10 minutes to get to, but the nearest 30 restauraunts are in a 4 mile radius rather than within walkable distance.
> Who pays for that?

Users will pay. One way or another users pay for everything.

But you cannot pay for something that doesnt exist.

I work at Apple Park and it’s awesome. I love it! Been here 4ish years.

On my current team we share a hall-wide office that seats 4. On my old team I shared a half-hall wide room with another person.

Most people have this 2 person arrangement. Some teams sit in groups of 6-8 together. All of this is Siri.

Teams in other orgs are wildly different. I had a friend in iCloud that was in one of those open office style arrangements. She hated it. She left to Netflix eventually.

I'd say that the cover is more-or-less mandatory for productivity because you lose dimmer colors to the background without it, even with the OLED brightness jacked up to max.

Then again, they're doing obvious PWM to achieve the lower-than-max brightness levels which creates flicker reminiscent of looking at an old CRT monitor running at 60Hz, which for me is a disincentive to run at anything less than max brightness.

> IIRC "back in the day" they were the first to get 100% in supporting all of ES6.

You can also add quotes to "100%", as anything else in Safari, it was quite buggy and you had to use workarounds sometimes.
You have to be careful with such comparisons - a 300 dpi printer will effectively run at a lower DPI if you require dithering.

Even if you could only see 300 dpi, a B&W 1200 dpi printer may still effectively add greyscale information beyond the output you would get at 300 dpi.
Because it’s a relatively insignificant market? However it’s pretty remarkable that Apple only makes a few billion less than Visa from its AppStore despite of the processed amount being 100x+ lower.

I guess the problem with the 30% is that it seemed like a very good deal for developers back in ~2010 compared to all other options.. but well it there is no incentive to lower it even more since there is no competition

Then again Steam and GOG for instance can still take 30% despite operating on perfectly open platforms so they must provide some value.
It helps, but isn't a necessity that the size decreases to increase transistor count. You can get bigger and bigger dies / interconnected multi die assemblies too, which is happening if you look at the custom hardware Tesla and others have announced.
And while we are at connecting the dots... One main problem with VR/AR is how the hell are you supposed to have online meeting while under a ski mask?

The headset could include discreet lidar/else captor to track eyes movements. Meanwhile the base could track head movements and mouth expression from the outside. Bam you have every data points to animate a memoji. I guess through an API more advanced avatars could be designed by a game developer. But memoji would be a nice proof of concept.

If all this materialize The sweet spot would be a Thunderbolt plug and a M1/M2 requirements. The 3000$ rumored price tag would refer to a complete setup including a mac mini but the headset alone could sell at a more affordable price range.

Why do they even record / save sound? It's really dumb design. Most people, me included, simply don't know they're sending live photos. When you find out, first you're like oh that's kinda cool. Then you realize it also has sound and are mortified thinking back of what sound snippets you might have sent that you really didn't want to have sent.
>We do.

Exactly. So what's the issue with people who don't drive also contributing to road infrastructure?

Yes, a lot of the cost is bundled into taxes. But that isn't unique to roads & cars, that happens everywhere. Again, are you going to ask couples with children to truly internalise the cost of public schooling? Are you going to ask non-travellers to truly internalise the cost of airports? It's just an irrelevant point.
People sometimes like little clips of their kids laughing, etc.
I wonder what is going on inside heads of people like this when they do stuff contrary to the entire world thinking that they know better. I've seen it in tech as well, people reimplementing SQLite, Boost and Tensorflow because they think they know better. Sheer hubris.

It is dead in the sense that transistor density isn't doubling every 18/24 months. It is still increasing but not very much.

People are starting to move to getting performance improvements by increasing chip sizes and power budgets - part of the reason why GPUs are more expensive than they used to be.
That feels pretty far removed from reality. Do you really value your profession so far above everyone else’s?
Reddit's crapification was definitely my first instinct, but I think it might be the ChatGPT buzz.

Bike is the true freedom vehicle, especially ebike. You don't meed a license, don't need to register it, can park easily, can have a beer and drive after, can cover long distance with electric assist, can charge at home. Netherlands managed to combine it with trains between cities to cover long distances and surprise, even there car infra is very good and people can use a car when they really need it. Problem with US infra isn't that it's designed for cars, it's that it is designed for cars ONLY. You don't have freedom to not drive a car if you don't want compared to NL/Switzerland amd even Germany at some degree (German public infra is not so good). By any measure infra in NL, Switzerland, Barcelona and other similar regions is more pro-freedom since anyone can choose any method of transport and arrive+- comfortable to destination, be that car, motorcycle, train/bus /tram or bike
I am suspicious of these wholesale systems/solutions to the problem of organisations to a large extent. I'd argue that it is faulty thinking to even characterise something as complex as an organisation as "holocratic" or "communist", etc (one word is insufficient to capture the actual dynamics of an organization). It so happens that whenever the "system" doesn't work, it'll get blamed on the implementer for making mistakes (rather than the concept or its application). I'd say such doctrinate way of thinking is not super useful. Moreover, I believe it is best to remain sceptical and critical of people who want to float such general concepts into the world.

Organizations are highly contextual entities; they are tightly coupled to the external environment and culture. Hence, making organizations better is almost always a study in the socio-economic conditions of the organization. The place and times matter more than anything else in setting up successful policies.

When we study history, we see very few exemplary system builders. One such builder was Lee Kuan Yew, builder of modern Singapore. Another - Admiral Rickover, who built US navy's first nuclear submarine. Both of these people had a great "ways" of handling things at an organizational level, I'd say. Their system was mostly focused on: studying the specific states and ailments of the organizations, using erudition, worldly knowledge, and common sense to propose a way forward, and to commit their lives to improving the situation, and then simply keeping the course.

So coming back to your question: perhaps some ideas under the banner of holocracy could be useful/applicable to some organizations, operating under some specific socio/economic/cultural conditions. That's quite a lot of caveats because, when it comes to organisations, there is rarely a satisfying wholesale answer.

PS: I am an avid student of organizations, and am always in the search for potentially universal (or at least largely applicable) truths about organizations. The result of my attempt is my book "Turnover and Other Organizational Ailments" (Free to read on the web [1]). I have, in the book, some validated (not terribly sensational) conclusions about organizations that are supported by empirical/longitudinal studies.
