Interestingly, the CPU core used in this seems to have some undocumented instructions that are not present on Intel/AMD (and conflict with SALC there, though this shouldn't be a problem, since it is also an undocumented opcode and rarely ever used).

The linked datasheet only lists a few of those, and it seems there is not even enough information there on how SMM should be implemented: it says that CR0, EFLAGS, EIP and the CS descriptor are saved/restored using some internal registers, and that the SMM code is responsible for everything else - without explaining how exactly to do this.

The WWDC demos suggested that it would be a full development device, and it has the same M2 processor as the M2 Macbook. It is basically a Macbook in a different form factor and with a bunch of extra sensors.
> a non-deterministic tool that can hardly be reasoned about that will straight up hallucinate facts for any professional work

This sounds like a decent enough description of the human brain.

Don't get me wrong: I'm not for a moment suggesting that what we have today is anything approaching "General Artificial Intelligence", and I am extremely concerned & worried about the inevitable massive damage AI is going to do to our world, but I do think it's a little funny that many people's specific objections to it amount to "it can do what people do". Yes. That's the idea.

The main concern with AI usage is not that it will write bad buggy code or lie: we already do that ourselves plenty, so that's not a novel skill in the professional arena. The main concern is that we can scale that stupidity.

But that's a problem of scale: individual usage isn't really going to do you notable damage on an individual level.

> Yes, if you are constantly hopping from one framework of the month to the next big thing, you just don't have the time to learn anything in depth and then again ChatGPT can help.

I actually think the opposite is true. Having used ChatGPT quite a lot for work (by mandate - I wouldn't have chosen to either but am glad now that I had to), I've found it's really very good at generating bad code and being confidently wrong (again, much like people): if you ask it about a subject you're not deeply knowledgeable about, it's going to lead you astray. The most astute way to use it is actually in going the last mile on something you're already very confident in, so that you can correct it as needed.
My bet would be completely the opposite. No matter how good these devices get they lack in input bandwidth. My keyboard beats all VR , and it seems to easily beat apple's VR too. The headset is clearly targeted to static environments, entertainment. The apps are like ipad apps, looking cute but when people want to do serious work fast, they use a laptop because it has a keyboard. It is overengineered. There are a lot of gimmicks in the device like the 3d avatars which imho are worse than simple zoom chats. We are humans, we like faces. And the (mandatorily positive) reviews from people who used it are not hinting to this new era of computing.

I see this as an early-era Tesla car, but without the long term prospect. A lot of people will buy it because it is expensive. It's something that happens with most apple products
I’ve been on and off interested in pre-fab homes, but they always seem more expensive than the alternative unless you are in a really expensive market like California
I feel like time goes by “slower” for me ever since I did a heroic dose a few years ago. Used to be stressed the f out all the time. Now I feel like I can enjoy every full second. Crazy how much time we have in life when we just stop paying attention to the negative energies like stress and instead channel them into storage for something positive later.

I’ve always been efficient and quick at learning new things and doing work. So it’s like being given a superpower to “slow” time.

(Obviously time hasn’t slowed down only for me. It’s just how I personally perceive it now.)
Its fine (well to be more specific- legal) to have fake users/content on your privately owned website, but it will be fraud if they include those users and posts in their metrics provided to investors. In the US anyway.
No. The world is moving 2.5x to 4x faster relative to your perception.
With an empty cache, five seconds for the full layout, one further second for images. With a populated cache, four seconds to load everything at once. And also requires unblocking JavaScript for no good reason. Sure, not as bad as twitter.com, but that’s damning with faint praise.
This is what Apple really sells. I read parent's comment and was sorta nodding along, and then read yours and realized 1) it's kind of a ludicrous statement, and 2) it sounded reasonable to me.

Marketing works.
The clickbait title is undermines the seriousness of this issue.

In case it wasn’t explained clearly in this blog post, the IAM role that creates an EKS cluster becomes sort of the “principal” of the cluster and has default system:masters privileges. These permissions are typically handled by the aws-auth configmap, but for this initial creator of the cluster, as the article explains, is not added to this map but retains system:master permissions anyway. So making this CDK role tied to this invisible permission is quite a big deal.

As a best practice in my cluster creation automation I typically add the role that created the cluster to the aws-auth configmap right away. However, due to this bug, any clusters created with the flaw described in the article will pretty much need to be recreated from scratch, as I am not aware of a way to remove this invisible permission from EKS. It’s one of the “features” of EKS I’ve always hated the most.

I can’t believe no one noticed this in nearly 3 years.

What was a failure about that? It looked good and worked well.

In what way did the gold watch fail? It was the first gen watch, the same hardware as the rest, just made of gold for rich people. It didn’t fail any more than any other color did.
That's a pretty high dose if you aren't a regular user. Most of my friends who are very casual with it usually go for 10mg max. Altered visuals on cannabis are very rare, its almost entirely a psychological effect in my experience. As far as altered thoughts - did you think something was physically wrong with you?

Trademark are always about use in a particular context. Apple has a a trademark on computers using the name "Apple" even though that's been a word for a food for centuries. And if you want produce a line of bulldozers and brand them "Apple Bulldozers" you can do that and get your own trademark on the use of the word "Apple" in that context.
Unless they are getting some miraculous increase in efficiency compared to any other Wankel engine (see Mazda), I don't see the value add here. It's essentially just a different way to do what the Wankel does with a few differences (apex seal placement, rotor shape and function).

Reddit is hiring and some of the job descriptions talk specifically about international expansion, so I guess at least Reddit thinks it is or will be significant.

Although I’d be shocked if good old Rocket Internet hasn’t done a Reddit clone by now, thus capturing the non-English-speaking part of the German market.
I'll go on the record and say that, unlike audio, where I'd be very concerned about the quality of speakers, I am not so concerned about the screen quality where my photographs are displayed. That is, even my Android Go device is "good enough" in that if you really need to see more detail you can zoom in.

A better comparison with audio would be the terrible quality of a 64 kbps Mp3 file which is going to sound awful on the cheapest bluetooth speakers or a $5000 set of speakers compared to 128 kbps Mp3 which sounds OK superficially but falls apart when compared to the source CD, or higher bit rates which are close to transparent. Many images for the web are highly compressed but nobody really notices.

My current boggle w/ screens is actually what to do with "high color gamut" screens like the one on my iPad. I am into red-cyan anaglyph images where the most important thing is getting separation between the left and right channels.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaglyph_3D

The green in a high color gamut display is more saturated than the sRGB primary so when you ask for sRGB green you get some red and blue mixed in which is an absolute disaster for a stereogram.

The answer to this is to master a high color gamut image just for those devices and serve everyone else an sRGB. I will get around to it one day but it's been a higher priority for me to deal with the same problem in print, where the green on my printer is very saturated but also very dark and the color management system blends in some red to make it brighter. Turning off color management works but really I should be blending in some red into green areas of the left image because that will make the colors closer to the original and also help with stereo imaging by reducing the difference in brightness between the left and right channels.

No. They charge a yearly fee for their "nitro" product which offers some perks in any server you're in. Each server can setup their own perks (emoji, reactions l, user name color, etc) for nitro users that join.
No I'm talking about IPD. Maybe someone else is talking about focus?

In the demo they showed a break out of the device which showed adjustable IPD width, with the displays sliding on little rods similar to many other HMDs.
Considering the EU is unable step up, I think you'll miss the enemy we knew after all is said and done (if there is a significant shift in the leading powers). I'm not wearing rose-tinted glasses about the past (I'm not American), but the up-and-coming alternatives seem real scary.

For playing music 5 years ago, that is still disproportionate, no emergency frequencies were disrupted, in any of his activities.

Did he cause any quantifiable harm here? Did the harm he cause ever justify that degree of punishment? My stance is no in both cases.

What is concerning to me is that some ham had to make the complaint there, maybe fully knowing the FCC would hand out a very large fine, causing him severe disruption to his family and childrens' lives, that far exceeds the nuisance caused by playing music on the radio.

Thus the ham that made the complaint is perhaps morally culpable in the excessive punishment. He acted, in conjunction with the state, to ruin this guy's (and his family's) life there. It doesn't matter if it's legal to do so, it is still morally wrong.

Fining the guy obviously causes him extreme stress, which he might end up taking out on his spouse or children afterwards, which far, far exceeds the harm from playing music on amateur radio bands. So the disproportionate punishment has knock on effects in society.

And these draconian measure are what so many hams find acceptable? I'm sure the general public doesn't though.
How much harder/more expensive is R&D these days?
Yeah, this is awesome. The devil's in the details though, do we know anything about exactly how they plan to support external providers? I'm cautiously optimistic; at least on the surface this sounds like exactly what I was hoping for.
This is my view as well. I think in the more technical crowds but outside of people who actively deal in identity and authentication daily, there seems to be this fixation on the marketing of passkeys that focuses on the FIDO component, and this muddies the virtues of the specification.

Many focus too much on the (potential) MFA use case rather than the idea that we can use effectively the same tech as in Yubikeys (etc) to make phishing resistant authenticators everywhere.

The (IMO) messy rollout by the major platforms really doesn’t help either. They absolutely could have spent a little more time baking the UX and designing edge case mitigations, but they didn’t.
Nobody is strapping this headset on for their kid’s birthday party. There are incredible concert videos from professional crews, and that’s the direction this will go until the tech can be (if ever) made unobtrusive.
Which is a good thing for reddit, toxic communities posting toxic garbage that drifts into /r/all isn't good for users or revenue.
The GGP is neither a credible source (it's an unsupported statement by an internet rando) nor speculation that withstands much scrutiny (IIRC, circa 2014, Ukraine had blocked the channel that supplies water to Crimea, and that didn't cause the Russians to abandon it then, and I don't see why now would be any different).

There's a lot of wishful thinking and propaganda swirling around this conflict, and strong claims need strong evidence.
Take a moment to look into it. Coinbase has hired the top legal team in the world on exactly that topic. They know the case law. The SEC has consistently refused to respond to any queries for clarification on what Coinbase can do to ensure compliance.

He accepted the fine graciously, lol.
They have given very clear guidance for years: basically all cryptocurrencies are securities. Conbase just didn't like what they said.

Besides, it's not the SEC's job to give free legal consultation. Nowhere in our legal system does the government have an obligation to send experts to consult with violators to help them stop violating the law. These companies have lawyers who are supposed to keep them in compliance.

(Conbase was a typo, but I'll leave it.)
I think it's more due to this device combines a "Grace" CPU and a "Hopper" GPU, thus creating a "Grace Hopper" superchip.

That is not a common enterprise. Where is the role of the "investor" (purchaser of the cards) in this enterprise?

Always interesting how crypto prices tank after legal action is announced against exchanges. Isn't the whole point to be decentralized in the first place? Hard to believe the whole dip is due to people wanting to get their tokens off the exchanges.
Yes, but will it blend?
In the late 1990's I was curating a project to scan in every LEGO instruction and catalog booklet. One big problem was Moiré patterns. 300dpi seemed to maximize the artifacts and higher dpi resulted in images that were too large to use on typical displays of the time (not to mention most users were on 28-56kbps modems!) I settled on recommending 100-150dpi which eliminated most of the artifacts but still gave usable image size/detail.

Then there were concerns about what LEGO (lawyers) would think about it. Because of this it originally didn't have thumbnails or any html on that part of the site. Just images in a directory structure exposed by mod_autoindex which give it a very utilitarian, non-commercial feel. Those fears were soon put to rest when I learned that LEGO customer service was referring people to the site when customers called in to request replacements for lost instructions.

That archive lives on today at http://www.peeron.com/ (not my site)
In the unlikely event of retaking Crimea, Ukraine is going to prosecute collaborators, cancel _all_ property deals after 2014, and expel Russian citizens who never had Ukrainian citizenship. I have received Russian citizenship, some of my family members have been Russian citizens all their life, and I have inherited, sold, and bought property after 2014. And while it is not clear who is going to be considered a collaborator, nobody who received Russian citizenship is safe (which means nobody at all).

Thank you, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills or something. I have no idea how much of the footage in the long advertisements are actual in-headset recording vs highly editorialized made up aspirational CG. Additionally, I really don't think all the people here singing the praises of Apple's currently nonexistent headset (for actual customer use at least until 2024 or something) have ever used a headset. Headsets give me:

* Headaches

* Nausea

* Eye Strain

* Neck Pain

* Acne (from sitting on the same parts of your face all the time)

Etc. Also, reading text is incredibly difficult and exasperating which is this things whole value prop since it's targeting office work. Until anyone can actually try this and ensure that these are all non-issues, all the speculation is a weird cultic worship of Apple.

Just in case people forget, here's some misleading advertisements for Google Glass that didn't quite live up to the hype[0][1]. And some misleading advertisements about holo lense that didn't quite live up to the hype[2]. Full disclaimer, I have a valve index but haven't tried holo lens or Google Glass, but the fact that they're not ubiquitous today says something. It's especially funny that the holo lens looks very similar to Apple Vision, and then Apple makes these ridiculous claims about innovativing where no one else has. I swear I must be taking crazy pills or something.

wanted to take you up on the "explicitly" then just googled it myself. in deed the additional protocol i of the geneva convention has something explicit to say about dams.

----

"[...] the Nova Kakhovka dam has been earmarked as a potential target for [...] its strategic importance"

"Its destruction would have a number of significant repercussions [...] for Ukraine’s wider war effort."

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/06/nova-kakhovka-...

--

"2. The special protection against attack provided for in paragraph 1 shall cease:

(a) for a dam or a dyke only if it is used for other than its normal function and in regular, significant and direct support of military operations and if such attack is the only feasible way to terminate such support;"

https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v2/rule42

----

don't know whether or not this constraint applies. i'm anyway not really intending to justify this or russia's attack on ukraine in general. just don't like pointing out cruelty in wars as if it's a surprise this is happening. war is about killing more soldiers than your opponent and there never was a war not impacting civilians. many people seem to think: "i'm against war except if it's fought fair and without killing children, elderly, women, handicapped people and civilians in general."

I literally once posted on T_D back in 2016 something to the tune of "hey that's anti semitic and dumb" on a thread that was on the front page.

I guess later that meant that masstagger flagged me as a T_D poster, so about 10% of my future posts were responded to by someone telling me I was a racist piece of shit.

I would also get mod messages once a week from subs I never post in(like 2xc) saying I was banned from their sub for participating in hate subs.

And then later my account was perma banned for no good reason at all, I'm assuming it helped that I was tagged as a T_D poster.

Ah Grooveshark. What a place.
Sure, "don't knock it till you try it". But that just makes more sense for an entirely new product category. But this isn't a new product category. We all know the many drawbacks of these headsets. So, from the marketing materials released for this new entrant in that category, does it look like it has overcome all those issues? It doesn't, to me.
I'm not dismissing it. I'm actually considering shelling out the money for this Apple headset. I've just become wary of exuberant initial reports based on 10-second exposures to completely scripted demo apps.

These journalists who get this launch-day experience were selected for their history of writing nice things about Apple. They're being shown the device in ideal conditions under the watchful eye of Apple's world-leading PR team, and they've been primed for years to expect something amazing from the Next Big Apple Product. There isn't a tremendous amount of objectivity in these circumstances.
You seem to be providing a reason (CYA) for being sneaky and underhanded, not arguing against it being sneaky and underhanded.
My understanding is that the latency is 12ms, but that's orthogonal to the framerate. You could be updating at 240fps (doubtful, admittedly), but those frames are 12ms delayed from what's entering the camera.
As I've been moving on from writing code to higher level work, I find these tools very welcome. I can just ask it to give me a quick grid layout or the right ffmpeg string of options and go about my tasks, instead having to dive into the nitty gritty or doing "manual labour" every time.

If they can get the local announcers to do the play-by-play on the VisionPro, I'd be throwing them my money just for this feature alone.
