Anything you want, but of course it's all subjective. You can have up to three monitors if you're using the Nebula app, so that's three 1080p monitors. You can't see them all simultaneously though, you have to tilt your head to reveal the left and right monitors similar to how you would with real life monitors except for you don't have them in your peripheral vision. It's definitely not as crisp as a 4k monitor but I think some of the lack of resolution can be made up for by the sheer size of the screen. I am also willing to trade the lack of crispness for complete elimination of neck and shoulder ache from hunching and also the ability to have this anywhere I want. I'm planning on backpacking and doing the digital nomad thing indefinitely so this is really ideal.

One thing that has been surprising is that I thought eye strain might be a problem but I've not really had any discomfort and I've actually gone back to using light mode in the day time and dark mode at night time which is something I thought I'd never do having been using dark mode for everything for years.

Windows development guideline states that the app should always be ready for that.

That's because the close button on Modern Apps, unlike Win32 old apps, always did force quitting.

That's why with Windows Modern apps, there isn't the popup for "Do you want to save the changes?". Because the guideline states that the app should always save changes automatically (Since 2013 there's proper APIs to store these data, and it even sync with your other PCs).

God yes. The demand for "consistency" is absolutely crippling. It prevents true fantasy and wonder from being built at all because critics dismantle the illusion looking for "gotchas".
It's use cases not software.

Gaming with headsets is sweaty but fun and Sony is the best company for that (PS5).

For business who will style themselves and than will use a headset like this?

As usual I'm very very curious about the anouncment.

I can see are/vr in the long-term for being cheap enough that you buy one for a main unique purpose like building your house and potentially for the regular online game session but not as something which will change our environment.
I think they're trying to say there is a good use case for everything.
For instance, if you have a set of keyword-like IDs (normalized items like EntityID:47283 for example) for a container of these things, like documents, you can make a quick GLoVe or W2V representation for each entityID, and then the cosine similarity between an entity vector and itself is exactly 1, not 0.98 or something.

So in the scenario that these are products which have IDs, and the container is a document that mentions these products together, you can reduce it to a key-value map of documentID-[list of product IDs], and then by selecting the vectors that have cosine similarity of .95-0.9999, you can get the object similar to that product but not that product. Using contextualized vectors, in the best case would give you things similar as well as the query product, but for every single instance, not just the single abstract entity.
> Most watch users don’t know how to change the strap and I bet pre-Apple Watch, many didn’t realize that was an option.

Although Apple has a history of simplifying and popularising various things, I thinks it's a bit of an overstatement. Could it be that people were influenced by marketing and "fashionable" image of various bands that they began collecting and switching them as desired?

For me at least, a few of my older watches and smartwatches had an option to change bands, though I never used them. With my first and current AW 7 I only used this "feature" to first change the default band and after that only recently once my previous one got worn out.
It could also be that we use todo lists completely differently from each other :-)

Doesn't mean either of us are wrong!

I'm a heavy user of bullet journaling. I start my day with a few lines of todos and they're always short and sweet. Works for me.

The top reason was actually an issue with the Android experience. Over 53% of respondents said they moved to iPhone because of problems with their Android smartphone. Specifics cited were “their old phone did not serve them, because it was aging, needed repair, or had some deficiency that affected their user experience.”
I used to engage with this topic a lot and still orient my life around minimizing the scope of digital access to my life. The outcomes are great - I read books more often, and I’m less on my phone bc my phone is largely bricked outside of Signal.

That said, our laws represent our values. We have a complete lack of tangible privacy laws and any ability to enforce them, and that doesn’t seem to be changing despite decades of these calls. GDPR delete requests are a joke because of the 17 marketing excel sheets with user exports floating around and forgotten in downloads folder that every tech company with user data has in some form.

Western culture, in its current form, doesn’t value privacy. It’s nuking privacy bc of tech-enabled capitalism and a decentralized mess of efforts to hit OKRs, love of social media by users, making that next VC raise, do that compliance check on user origin.

Everything about tech can’t function without that stream of user data. Every company is about tech now. Every company can’t function in its current profit mode without user data.

I’ve benefited greatly from capitalism, so I don’t get too bent out of shape. But you have to spend just one quarter with access to user-facing logs to know privacy is a lost cause, unless there is a significant reevaluation of tech regulations, and then you’d need the actual hammer-drop EPA in new 1970z style regulations. I don’t think we’ll get it.

So my conclusion is to protect yourself as able and otherwise ride the wave into what’s next.
I've never known a company pursue legal action for not honoring a notice period - it's going to cost them far more than it's worth to pursue it legally than to just stop paying you for not turning up.
You are assuming that my social experiences are shallow. They are not.

You know that sex is not exclusive to intimacy. Do you know that intimacy is not exclusive to sex?

I have found the right person many times. I don't stop when I find them. That's like putting all of your investment into one stock.

Maybe you did win the lottery. That's great! Should I be expecting the same experience? I don't.

> Casual sex especially can be deceiving if one person is using that as a vehicle for emotional investment and the other isn't. That's how people get deeply hurt.

That's what a lot of marriages are. The only resolution to this situation is communication.

Why is that communication difficult? We have a strong social expectation for exclusive romantic commitment. To pursue non-committed romance is to break that social expectation. It's difficult, but not impossible.

We would all be better off without that expectation. If people felt free to pursue casual relationships, they would be more likely to self-select away from the dating pool of serious-commitment seekers.

Instead, we have people being dishonest and subversive about their relationship goals, because they feel it is the only way to fulfill their need for sex and intimacy. They end up in a relationship with someone who depends on their commitment, but that very commitment is a lie: a lie told to the other person, and often even to themselves.
Neither voters nor the press has a meaningful objection to lawmakers trading campaign cash & jobs for law & power. As long as that condition persists, I see no path away from what you describe.
There's also some question about the fragility of some of these models, compared to humans [1]. I think there have been some other examples where changing one rule makes their aptitude crash. The implication being they are still hard-rule based, but scale well. But that scale advantage erodes quickly with a rule change because of the lack of contextual understanding.

Not only is that not my experience, I wonder where the 'joke' is. When people broadly dismiss enormous issues with nothing more than trendy contempt, it signals to me that they lack any real evidence or basis.
I've found a sort of pattern in people's reluctance to believe that AGI poses an existential risk. If you think of specific scenarios about how AIs could take over the world or kill everyone, people will say, "oh, that's easy to avoid, we can just do X". If you think of scenarios that are hard to avoid, like an AGI designing and releasing a deadly, virulent virus (or lots of different ones), people will say, "but why would AGI want to kill everyone?" If you point out how AGI might have very good reasons to get rid of humans, and that we don't have any way of really guaranteeing they won't try, people will say, "but we won't give them any power". If you point out that once we make AGI, it's inevitable that somebody somewhere will give it power, and even if they don't, it's very easy for someone very intelligent and sociopathic to manipulate gullible people, they say something like, "well, we superintelligence probably isn't even possible", or "we can't even agree on what intelligence means".

Turn it around for a second. What does it take for humanity to have a good future after we create intelligences smarter than us? Let's say the AGI listens to and obeys humans. Well, one thing we need to avoid is just an absolute chaos of terrorism and war. It's easier to do damage than to prevent it, and if everyone has an obedient, mastermind scientific genius in their back pocket, you could have it invent a pathogen and cure in tandem, keep the cure secret and release the pathogen, and do this over and over until your enemies are all dead.

So we need AGI that is aligned with humanity, in the sense that it won't do stuff that hurts people even if someone tells it to. How do we do that, and not potentially end up with AGIs that can't be corrected if they get some idea that turns out to be wrong? Ideally, we'd make AGIs that have a bias toward inaction, that are "lazy" in a sense, and try to do the minimum they can. But those AGIs won't be as useful as ones that work like eager beavers toward some goal, so there will be selection pressure towards those.

I think the way to look at it is like with evolutionary biology. The pressure that evolution puts on animals to develop certain genes/behaviors is similar to the pressure that humans will put on AI development, and it ends with AI being more capable and more likely to follow orders even if those orders mean bad things for other people. As they get more and more powerful, this means chaos. It's monkeys throwing poo, vs monkeys throwing rocks, vs monkeys with guns, vs monkeys with rocket launchers.

And look -- I'm not certain that things will end in disaster. But inventing something smarter than you and trying to stop it from taking over sooner or later seems very difficult, and I can't even get a good answer out of people who think it'll be fine, or good. The default case is not that it'll be fine, the default case is we have no idea how it'll go. It's a grey fog. Just because humanity has muddled along and managed not to destroy ourselves so far, does not mean that we're safe, by any means.
I really love your optimism here, but as an ex-executive I can see how this will be used -- to put wage pressure on any skilled/senior leaders by inflowing a churn of unskilled to replace them.

I don't think you grasp how this will play out over multi-game
That's very interesting, thank you for the color there. Especially clarifying the literalist and fundamentalist part. I'd always just sort of assumed that they are one and the same.

I'm not particularly religious but over time I've come to respect the erudite and philosophical side of it. It's so easy to just dismiss the entire thing when looking at the worst of it which IMO tends towards protestant church's that are more a political organization than a spirituality center. Or of course the scandalous and criminal history of the Catholic church covering up so many bad things.

Quest 2 screens are 773 ppi. The leaks say Apple's will be 4000.

I'm not sure how that comes across as underwhelming to you – it seems to me like Apple (unsurprisingly) is going for the high end market with specs to match.

1000% agree. Don’t sell to devs, always sell to their employers. I now see how keeping your price hidden could be beneficial. The person you’re selling to isn’t the person who should be interested in the price!
I’m responding to this more because of the change to Kaleidoscope (MacOS diff tool) from one-time to subscription pricing.

I have paid for Kaleidoscope at least four times and each time was more expensive (I think the total I spent was about US$300—probably closer to CA$450). I justified it because it was the best-in-class Mac-assed Mac app for its purpose and it really did and does save me time or frustration.

I’d have happily paid another US$150 (~CA$200 today) for an upgrade to Kaleidoscope 4. I’m just not sure that I want to pay a variable amount per month amounting to US$96 (~CA$115) annually, because I already have subscriptions that I’m paying for which I don’t use enough (WebSequenceDiagrams is a good example; I happily pay, because when I need it I really need it and there’s nothing quite as good IMO).

I know it’s hard, but subscriptions are the wrong choice most of the time, unless you can review and manage them in one place like you can with the Apple App Store. Because otherwise, you have to trust the company to not only (a) keep the subscription price fair without surprise increases but also (b) not use Adobe-level or NYT-level dark patterns for cancellation.

I’m not cheap, but I am far more price sensitive to subscriptions than I am to one-off purchases. The bar for getting me to subscribe rather than buy is ten to twenty times higher, and most subscription software isn’t that much better.

I don't remember source forge having stars, at least not during the time it was used to index some of the most impactful open source projects. So it's definitely possible for OSS to do just fine without this feature. I really loathe these systems that insert themselves between users and the repos adding little value and look forward to their demise. The repo will tell you if something is still active and maybe I'm naive, but I doubt faking commits happens as often as fake 'stars'.
Most Western countries are like the US, dominated by two political parties. A small handful of others exist, most of them in a permanent alliance with one of the others. In Canada it's Liberals and Conservatives. In Germany it's the Christian Democrats and the Social Democrats. In the UK it's the Tories and Labour.

The other parties are always forced to make long-term alliances if they want any say. The UK Scottish National Party really wants to opt out entirely and become a separate country, but they're always closer to Labour than the Tories. If there is a hung parliament next time around, the likely Labour majority will make a coalition government with the SNP. They can call it a "multi party system", but those coalitions really just reduce it to two effective sides.

It's just the way electoral math works out. There is one winner and everybody else is a loser. The only way to win is to make allies who put their collective victory over some of their priorities. You can call those allies a "party" or not, but in the end the losers had better set about joining together or they'll keep losing.

The two parties are often called "left" and "right", but the names don't mean anything because the coalitions differ from country to country. The coalitions can be close to arbitrary, and they sometimes switch en masse (such as the realignment of US Southern Democrats to the Republican Party over civil rights issues). But the realignments always eventually come back to one winner and one loser, and the loser starts making long-term promises so that they don't stay the loser.
Yeah, to reduce the severity of the intent by default. Plotting a scheme to steal when it has more value is not that. Or in your own terms, the difference between 3rd degree and 1st degree murder.

Hopefully this one has better speakers. The speakers in the Quest 2 were actually worse than in Quest 1. I don't mean from a sound quality perspective, but from a usability perspective: they literally tickle my skin and I wonder if there is something about my head shape that makes this happen or if everyone experiences it and just lives with it, it's super horrible and distracting.

You don't necessarily have to get that close to other people. But your wife probably shouldn't be your only friend, either - or you hers. You can squeeze the life out of a relationship trying to make it the one and only thing in your life. People can't be that to other people.

Instead, have your wife be your best friend. That's wonderful! But also have other friends. Keep making new ones as old ones drift away. And keep the friendship with your wife alive.
Marriage rates are also there, so that statistic is not really that surprising.

Most of the people who would have been getting divorced in the 1970s, today look like a relationship that fails after a few months or years, before reaching the point where they would have decided to get married.
For 'game-ey' math code, a matrix is at most 4x4 floats (64 bytes), that's fine for a value type that might live on the stack.

vec2..4 and matching matrix types up to 4x4 is basically also what's provided in GPU shading languages as primitive types, and personally I would prefer such a set of "SIMD-y" primitive types for Zig (maybe a bit more luxurious than @Vector, e.g. with things like component swizzling syntax - basically what this Clang extension offers: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/LanguageExtensions.html#vectors-...).
I've noticed this on producthunt too; there are lots of accounts which just summarize the post and you can tell they don't really know what the product is / have tried it. But other than that they seem completely legitimate.

but it is still a controlled environment, the amount of context switching with a vr headset is limited to a) digital content / applications and b) only to the extend that the VR headset manufacturer allows.

Consider how meta originally marketed it in a business setting - would the "virtual office" application allow you to check your private messages in between? This can be built in of course, but currently it looks like an afterthought at best.

I talked to some trainers in a company about VR trainings (my previous company produced such a course). Some trainers were interested in VR because it "keeps trainees from looking at their damn phones"
