By far the most expensive part are the two 1.3 inch Sony OLED screens at 700 USD (350 each). A "special-shaped flexible OLED" external screen by LG is only listed as 30 USD, which seems quite low. Its purpose may be to see the eyes of the wearer (reverse passthrough).

Ask HN: What are the most valuable things you got out of college education?
Be it undergrad or grad school, what are the most valuable things you got out of college education? Now, when you look back what do you think you should have payed more attention to?

Btw, mention your major too.
I remember getting a sex ed book sent home in 6th grade. It sat around with my parents not wanting to touch the subject and I threw it in the garbage one day when they weren't home. They never said a word about what happened to the book.

To me that sums up the problem. So many parents are just too shy about sex to educate their kids.

Ignoring sex ed and at nearly the same age giving a kid a phone to take to bed with unlimited porn is utterly insane.
Not everything has to be nuanced. Some people want everyone to know being trans is a possibility, and some people don't. It's really cut-and-dry.
Oh btw, building the CLI is super easy. If you've already installed Rust using rustup, you can just clone the repository and run `cargo run`. Since the CLI is the only tool that's actually marked as a binary, cargo will automatically build and run that one.

You can then pass parameters like so:
`cargo run -- --label Foo --status Bar --color green`
The point is to demonstrate a clear and relatable example of something the vast majority of humans doing without making a buck off of it. In fact, people will spend money to do it where it is legal.

It's unclear to me why you think economics should be about aligning value and worker meaning at all.

Another way to think about it is that the capitalist system does a great job of aligning value and meaning, just on the consumer side and not the producer side. Compensation is based on what meaning someone else finds in your work and will pay you for it. It seems rather silly to have a system where workers are compensated for work they find meaningful but no one else does.

Update: This post is half-wrong; Salsa is a streaming cipher and AES is a block cipher and one still need a PBKDF mechanism to construct a safer key.

Problem with AES and Salsa is that salting is required for smaller-sized password and are not considered a "hashing" algorithm; those two are block ciphers, as I recall.

No, MATESO is not open source but with an enterprise license, you can negotiate for the source code. And they have contracted audits against their software.

Netwrix PasswordSafe is more enterprise-ready with their SOC 2, ISO 27001 and HIPAA compliance but that is a moot point for most SMBs, SMEs, family-servers and homelabs.
I don’t understand why people believe that open source inherently makes software secure and trustable. Yes, you have access to look through the code, but I usually don’t have the expertise to understand what I’m looking at. I wouldn’t know how to look for well hidden exploits or malicious intent. I’m still reliant on others to find these issues.

At the moment, I do rely on reputation before I trust open source software. But in the case of an app store, I can trust the reputation of the store. I can trust that the app store has to work to uphold their reputation which is their motivation for maintaining a good track record of identifying problem apps. I agree this is far from perfect, but I think it’s much safer than relying on open source.

I love the idea of open source and I hope that it will never be replaced by app stores, but I don’t feel that software is inherently more trustworthy if it’s open source.

Sixty days on a ledge in the Atlantic: teacher aims to break Rockall record
> To my recollection there was a manufacturer of industrial tubing, an accountancy firm, a members club, a precious metals dealer, and stationers.

It wasn't Wang, but this was my heyday during the 90's. Accounting/Distribution systems for small to medium sized companies. Post Production House, Tire Distribution, Auto parts Distribution, General Warehousing, Meat broker, Magazine Distribution, a Seminary, Wholesale Nursery, a Hotel/Casino.

Everyone needs accounting, and you get a taste of all of these businesses and how they work, especially if you're doing distribution. It was really interesting. Accounting consists of the core modules: General Ledger (your checkbook), Account Payable (your bills), Accounts Receivable (what people owe you). GL/AP/AR. The Casino was very interesting because they don't have an Accounts Receivable, they don't invoice anyone. People just walk in and give them money!

It was the height of the mini computing market, so we were installing systems on everything. HP, DG, Sun, Sequent, PCs, etc. Was a grand time.

If you write python sufficiently like rust, you should be able to transpile it into actual rust.

I spent a few months last year writing py2many. But was surprised by how ChatGPT outperformed it.

I do however believe that there is room for a good transpiler and a language ecosystem for a dialect of python you're proposing here. It needs a community and a lot more work.
The iPhone cost roughly the same as 2007’s competing smartphones that were already selling millions of units (e.g. the Nokia N95), and it offered completely unique capabilities.

Today there is a high-volume VR headset in the market, the Quest 2, but the new Apple device is projected to be nearly ten times more expensive and it seems to be more of an incremental advancement of the state of the art.

But we’ll see… I hope Apple pulls a rabbit out of the hat.
>I don't care if I'm seeing through a camera and screen or through a transparant piece of plastic. What I care about is image quality, distortion, FOV, latency etc.

There is currently no camera/display tech that is remotely close to delivering dynamic range, latency, refresh rate, and resolution anywhere close to what our eyes can perceive.

>>Not to mention the fact that people around you can’t see your face either.

It is certainly a big deal for many people to be able to maintain eye contact with people they're speaking with in person.

>Ah. I get it - you're assuming there's other people in the same room as you! Why would you make that assumption for this device?

I think you are the one making several constraining assumptions here:

1. this device is just for work

2. most people work physically alone

3. in the rare instances that people work together, they almost never look at each others' screens

Re: 1, OP's vision is that AR goggles may ultimately supersede displays entirely, which would make it difficult to do things that most people commonly do today, like show their friends things on their phone.

Re: 2, this is also not true; as of February 2023, it's estimated that 30% of all office work occurred remotely [0].

Re: 3, this is also not true, especially outside of the tech industry, where people collaborate in-person on documents/spreadsheets/presentations all the time.

I see a whole host of impractical impediments: knowing Apple, only Apple glasses will be able to have a shared reality experience, so all the people in the room with non-Apple glasses will be left out. There will also be version incompatibilities as the tech evolves, leading to a whole host of awkward scenarios: "sorry friends, I can't show you this funny video, I have the iGlass 5 but you guys only have the iGlass 3, and you guys have Samsung Galaxy Glass." Furthermore, since these glasses will have to be networked, you'd likely need a separate pair for work and personal life, which creates a host of incompatibilities ("sorry coworker, I can't show you my photos from the weekend, since I took them with my personal glasses and you only have your work pair on you.")

Everyone can see the value of a Holodeck, or a magical lightweight high-resolution display that barely weighs on your head, doesn't cause eye-strain and doesn't mess up your hair.

But that hasn't yet been technically achieved.

What the comments are saying is: "I can't see how current state-of-the-art wearable displays can offer any value, given their current limitations"

And I agree. With none of the headsets I've tried (Rift, Rift-S, Valve Index, HoloLens, HoloLens 2), I could imagine working 8 hours per day. They're heavy, scratchy and are annoying to put-on & take off. The Nreal Airs, mentioned by a sibling comment, have a promising form-factor, but only feature a 1080p display.

At our current technological advancement, I doubt that Apple will overcome these limitations next week.
Wonderful. Hope it sticks, and hope the G7 actually takes enough of a stand that it shows China that it too can play the long-term waiting game. Otherwise, Xi will just outlast them.

>The idea that making a mistake but otherwise fulfilling most of the task is worse than failing to perform any part of it.

The are many contexts in which correctness is important. In such contexts, an incorrect answer is often worse than an explicit non-answer.

>We don't rate humans that way on performing tasks either (if they got it less than perfect it's worse than not doing it at all). Even math tests at the university

Standardized tests often rate incorrect answers worse than non-answers, though yes a university maths test in particular isn't likely to be that sort of test.
Thank you! Sadly I removed the thumbs up/down emojis and okay hand emoji -- when these were used in clues, GPT 3.5 tended to complain that the emojis were too generic and refuse to guess.
From my perspective I haven't moved any goalposts. I'm only adding specificity to what I already said.

I didn't make it more specific before because I don't care to spend all day typing on my phone. If this is a conversation, we'll slowly make progress to reaching a shared understanding of each other's viewpoint and at what level of ambiguity we agree or disagree at.

To that end, this isn't a debate, it's an exploration of perspectives, each round adding specificity.

Given that we're talking about a hugely macroeconomic issue, my definition of "easily" is even more broad than what I've presented here. At the end of the day, my point is just that there's a mutlidimensional spectrum of pay versus education requirements vs potebtial applicants that exists. A century ago, kids were being taught similar subjects by people who lacked any degree at all. So the licensing requirements are pretty arbitrary, likely an artifact of regulatory capture by teachers unions to preserve formerly relatively high standards of loving. That has changed of course but the barrier hasn't.

The amount of flexibility in delivering sufficient education to kids is WAY more than in building bridges for instance because our ability to measure quality is greater in engineering fields than in education.
I would just go to https://archlinux.org/mirrorlist and generate your mirrorlist there. I've heard from others that reflector isn't detected newly synced mirrors at the moment.
By that standard, desktop Linux isn't real unix either (X11 isn't POSIX, and Wayland certainly isn't).
I don't have a crystal ball either. But there is no one in tech at this point who hasn't read The Innovator's Dilemma. And Apple themselves have as good a recent history of disrupting themselves as well as others and shifting tacks, repeatedly, as any other megacorp. They are clearly awake to it. Doesn't mean they can execute, but I don't agree there is any sign of them "trying not to cannibalize" vs just not thinking the timing is there yet.

Granted the question of timing is of course always one of the huge challenges too, someone can have 100% the right idea, product segment focus, etc, but be too early (or too late) and fail. But again, Apple has to have as much insight into all of this as anyone, they've built deep, deep manufacturer relationships. As with some of their previous products, the right time to get going is probably "a bit early, but not too much". Ie, good enough to satisfy a few hundred thousand people, not just thousands/tens of thousands, but early enough that everyone else thinks it's not ready yet. Then there is enough qualities/volume for real feedback and getting the iteration ball rolling, but not so much that it means making major changes isn't doable yet. If I think back to Mac OS X (I still vividly remember both the Public Beta and 10.0), the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad, or even a lot of Mac models (Macbook Air v1 definitely had a host of "this needs more hardware" aspects), that seems to be around the point they always aim for.

Again no special insight on if they've gotten that moment right here but it certainly doesn't feel like it couldn't be given where things are at. And my confusion is people who apparently can't see any value at all, regardless of improvements. It's one thing to say "I think they're 3 years too early for MVP", it's another to say "what's the point of wearable displays ever".
Interesting phenomenon, actually. I wonder if market pricing for teachers would result in higher pay or more teachers: I.e. if lowering pay were easy, or if firing were easy.

Certainly some aspect of compensation must pay for the hiring risk.

And the other thing is that government organizations are slow to react to market forces, so as the majority employer in the space, they're frequently likely to just be behind. Some sort of incentive mechanism for cost cutting may work but it's hard to build that without it misfiring.

If I were in charge of an education system, I'd definitely hard bargain to keep teacher costs low because in downturns it's the cost I have least control over managing. There'd be a delta in the fair market price as a result.

In addition, my boss would likely also try to keep my budget low since if any extra would go into the piece that has most market power - unionized labour.

Sort of. To my knowledge, the original redis was literally signal threaded and performed io on the same threads as managing the DB (asynchronously of coarse). Then after either redis 5 or 6 they added IO threads to redis such that the DB stayed managed by a single thread and network/disk IO happened on the IO threads.
I agree. When I was 5 I really wanted to work on algebra and was never allowed. Schools should teach that starting in the first grade as well.

>But that's not a particularly useful definition of worth.

It is a more useful definition than the one you made up. The error in your argument here is that you are mistakenly conflating the words "worth" and "price". These have different meanings. Price is an objective measure at a specific moment in time. Worth is not.

If you choose to use your own personal definition of a word, then you can not have a good-faith discussion with other people who are applying that word's common usage. "Worth" is not the same thing as "price", not even in the field of economics. You just made that up.
ChatGPT Believes It Is Conscious
Agreed. And if this fad lasts long enough for future generations to remember, they'll make fun of us for calling it “AI”. It's the equivalent of believing in the existence of witches and devils. It may be explainable in light of the standards of the time, but it still makes us look, er, unintelligent.
"...The development of advanced generative chat models, such as ChatGPT, has raised questions about the potential consciousness of these tools and the extent of their general artificial intelligence. ChatGPT consistent avoidance of passing the test is here overcome by asking ChatGPT to apply the Turing test to itself. This explores the possibility of the model recognizing its own sentience. In its own eyes, it passes this test. ChatGPT's self-assessment makes serious implications about our understanding of the Turing test and the nature of consciousness..."

You judge others for traveling, but you don't leave your bed for 18 hours each day? I'm just at a loss for words.

You're free to live how you like, but if a friend of mine decided to live your lifestyle I would stage an intervention. Not out of condescension, but out of concern. Mental health issues, when left unattended, can spiral out of control.

I was not advocating eating bugs in place of meat (I don't like the idea either). I was saying that if for some reason we had to forfait meat, I think it would be easier for the average person to have a proper diet if it included bugs than a vegan one.

That said, I agree with you, those that advocate such a change are the last ones willing to do it (let's guess when meat will disappear from EU Parliament canteen).

I prefer cities where more and more is public space.

None of us really care about the paintings hung on the walls of museums so much as the space to walk around and suck in history, take time out.

We don't want parks for the flowers but to walk and rest, sip coffee or hear nature. The buildings themselves don't need to preen or be fabulous. They don't need to be markers for the egos of architects or politicians - they need to just be human, be part of the space we are trying to share.

So much of what makes civilisation worthwhile is not greatness, but the act of sharing the greatness with others. Publics space is part of that, as might be facebook or youtube. But public spaces are nicer :-)
AES and Twofish are both block ciphers. Neither are hasing algorithms, and you'll need a PBKDF or some other construction to derive a key for either, no?

Salsa is a stream cipher.
The recent layoffs have shown how untrue this is - the tech set thought they were a special class of labor, and if you were "good enough" you wouldn't be let go.

Very accomplished, productive people have been let go in the recent layoffs. Being "productive" was always a paper shield, but it's not even that anymore; I think they're trying to disabuse the tech set of the notion that they aren't labor to bring wages down.

I assume lying has only even been a possibility since (most) children now grow up without being around livestock of various kinds. And while I don't have any use for paranoia about 'grooming' I think it's not absurd to consider developmental stages - we don't let children drive, drink alcohol, vote, etc. because we don't consider them fully able to understand the consequences yet. So sex ed needs to be taught in a way that's understandable and useful, if not actionable, yet.
Time redeemed one of those but the other is still called an ugly eye sore to this day…
> We shouldn't invert it to conclude that means they can reason about it.

Agreed. However, I think it's somewhat accepted view that the bulk of work constituting reasoning happens subconsciously, with the conscious mind playing the role of a censor/gatekeeper, and occasionally handholding during when reasoning through tougher problems.
It is probably a bug, but again Spotify has drawn a line to 'define' Linux Support.

All old buildings are maintenance nightmares.

To be honest the Japanese have it right. Tear down buildings after 50 years and build something new. Ofcourse they had the luck of frequent earthquakes and fires (buildings made of wood when the Netherlands switched to masonry in the 16th century).

Yes it is cute and adorable that the Dutch Parlement is situated in a building complex that can be traced back 1000 years (I wish I was kidding). The tourists love it. The symbolism is marvelous. And it costs hundreds of millions to keep it from falling down.
