Conspiracy theorists (important: multiple) often have one or more of the following attributes which is why you see a wide range of intelligence in the group.

1. People with mental illness.

2. People with low intelligence who are unable/don't understand logic, the scientific method, and concepts like ecree, They are easily fooled by others. They may also have a bias like hating or mistrusting the government.

3. People who are insecure. Being a conspiracy theorist makes you feel smarter than other people as you are part of a select group of who know the truth. The masses are stupid or as they say now "asleep" but you've figured it all out via Google.

This is why much of their talk is less about how they can prove their claims and more about the people who don't believe. They refer to them as "sheep" or "not awake. The focus for them is that they are right which may help with their insecurities.

4. People who don't feel they have a purpose in life and are looking for a meaning. Want to be a part of a group that is bound by something important and there's almost no effort to join? Bam, now your job is to get that information out there and covert the masses, a goal that will never be finished and thankfully take up your entire life.

5. People who were originally lured in because of the other reasons and no longer believe. Because they made it their life, maybe spent excess money, wrote books or made absolute claims they don't want to look stupid so they never admit their change. This is especially an issue on the internet where the whole world can fest on your failure.
That begs the question if the invasion of Ukraine was also partially motivated by adding more Russian speaking people to Russia population.

> Yet labor markets are strong, with record low unemployment across the board. I wonder if the anecdata or the real data are right.

You have to give it more time.
Even if this would lead to less employees needed, it will take a few years before the effects will be seen. It's a quite slow process:

1. A sufficiently large part of the work force has to learn it and start using it in an efficient manner.
2. It has to be noticed, measured and evaluated as being more efficient by management.
3. Management has to decide to lay off people instead of being happy with the improved efficiencies and possibly higher profits.
4. Lay-offs take time. From step 3 to actually taking action can take time, and from the actual notice to the person being in the job seeking market also often takes many months.

I would argue that play is a highly valuable intellectual activity. Speculating for one’s amusement falls into that category and is therefore not worthless. A lot of great ideas come from playing around with strange ideas that aren’t obviously useful.
That was my understanding as well, thanks.

You'd pretty much have to make sure that no two nodes from the same bucket can improve on one another, and I can't really understand how you'd pick the bucketing so you don't need O(MaxLength) buckets.

How much do gamers actually value immersion though? Seems to me the satisfaction of solving puzzles or executing strategy and the sort are the real drivers of satisfaction with games. Immersion is nice, but unless the interaction mode provides something novel to enable better ways to play it’s really just a novelty.

In some cases they use it well, like Beat Saber. But how much is that worth to people?

I work on the parent project to another ngrok alternative called zrok. Its free and open source so you could use it and contribute. We have a free SaaS version too - https://zrok.io/.

It's mostly Go based as parent, OpenZiti is mostly Go based too. We do have a Python SDK though so you can embed private networking into a Python app - https://blog.openziti.io/openziti-python-sdk-introduction
I've never used the product, but I did see this snippet in the article, which gives me a flicker of hope that the product does address some accessibility concerns:

> One particularly nice aspect of this system is that key presses follow the same flow as pointer events, which is not how things work in the DOM. In the DOM, you usually bind key handlers globally, and pointer events per element. But here, we get all the benefits of stopping propagation centrally, which is a real help for adding keyboard shortcuts and modifier keys.
Let's tax AI work and redistribute wealth. Work does not have to have a monopoly on wage. Just give us money. We can achieve a post-scarcity society.
> A function specification of "if the input is outside valid range, either return garbage or raise an exception" provides no value over "either return garbage or crash the program", because there is still the possibility of returning garbage.

Right. Yes, I was being a little tongue-in-cheek with the original comment, but only a little - imagine if there was a way for the OS / underlying runtime to prevent returning garbage (possibly by eagerly raising an exception). In that case, a lot of our error handling would be duplicating the work done by the OS. Now, with the garbage result being a possibility, we're still duplicating some of the work - we just can't really avoid it, in a kind of "50% of checks are redundant, we just don't know which ones" way.

I'm raising this as something to think about, that wasn't obvious to me until recently. I grew up dreading SIGSEGV and 0xC0000005. But recently, having no other choice but to trap some of those and similar exceptions (due to bugs in some proprietary third-party dependencies), I finally realized those are just error handling mechanisms, conceptually not any different from regular exceptions or Result<T, E> types. They're just implemented one layer below.
Oh yeah no worries. We'll have a prototype post-scarcity society in a few months.
Keep in mind, it's getting 15fps at 1440x900. It's not saying that Cyberpunk 2077 at Ultra on an M1 is a great experience. It's merely pointing out that it's technically possible (which is a massive achievement).
> Machines would be more likely than anything biological in any case.

Counterpoint: biology is a machine in itself.

Our machines of metal and microchips are incredibly primitive compared to where they'll be in 100, 500, 1000, 10K+ years from now - and when a machine has the ability to to self-replicate, have autonomy, and to protect itself from microscopic threats, then it sure looks a lot like life-as-we-know it.

Let’s suppose that aliens where able to travel from distant galaxy to earth.

Let’s suppose that they didn’t travel to dispose of resources abundant on earth (in which case it seems obvious that they would most likely already ostensibly or furtively dominating the world with their advanced technologies). For example, instead they want to make tourism in invisibility-intangibility suits: "look my darling, how quaint this planet is!".

I very strongly doubt any group of human could catch an alien vehicle of such an advanced civilization.
Isn't the uncopyrightable nature of AI generated artwork a potential issue here?

If I produce ad content for a company whose public image is incredibly important (e.g. Apple) and that content includes AI art what is to stop a competitor, or anyone else, from reusing that same art in a counter ad or to produce other content to similarly harm the original company?

On the other hand, if I were to use images from a stock photo company I could simply purchase an exclusive license the artwork used (and likely the entirety of the similar work from the shoot, used or not) to avoid this type of imitation.
Was the laptop advertised as supporting Linux, or, if not

Yes, it was Linux-certified.

I've seen how it's changed from barely-working and having to futz with things at every kernel upgrade, to pretty much seamless (and these days I really have little patience for futzing around with things; I want something that works so I can do useful things on it)

Dig up any post from 5, 10 or 15 years ago and Linux users will say literally the same thing.

It surely is from Apple's point of view, it is even expliclity mentioned on its documentation.

Well yeah, as a sort of compilation target for sure, not just for language models but all ML models need to be integrated somewhere. The ML code and web code will be independent though.
Ian Buck's thesis is about how GPUs can be used as "stream computing": "In this paper (Buck, 2004), we present Brook for GPUs, a system for general-purpose computation on programmable graphics hardware. Brook extends C to include simple data-parallel constructs, enabling the use of the GPU as a streaming co-processor." That's all the point: Apple Silicon allows for running local large language models (and other ML models/algorithms) in a way, at a price point, with enough performance, and so on in which other chips with unified memory don't.
I expect current iPhones can do a good enough job. Lidar + just waving it around + AI make this mainly a software problem.

Well, multiple processors mean multiple CPU's, not multiple dice. For example as Dell R840 series, 4xXeon 28 Cores, or R7625, 2xEpyc 96 Cores. I absolutely understand that these are specialised machines for specialised workloads. OTOH Mac Pro in rack mount is not necessary mainstream system as well, and with current approach it maxes out at 24 cores / 196GB RAM or if they somehow double it in a year or two at 48 Cores / 512 if you're lucky.
> Apple hid something AMAZING for Mac gaming at WWDC: a full Windows DirectX 12 gaming emulator.

Windows ... emulator? Does this mean we can now play old Windows EXE games? E.g. can I now run Fallout 2 and 3 like I did on an old Intel Mac with Crossover?

Can it also run Windows apps which don't use DirectX? I need some for work and have to use Parallels now.

Does it support Windows crypto APIs (certificates etc)?
Fwiw I've been using react on the frontend and php on the backend for like 8 years now. It's a multi page app. It's fast. No issues. If you want to swap php for go it'd be just as easy.
Just to rain on your parade, my mac stops working after resuming from sleep and having a monitor connected (audio plays, nothing is movable or actionable). It also randomly sticks the launchpad icons permanently on screen that won't go away without a reboot.

I distinctly remember they said they had hired scientists to discuss what the future would look like and I always thought "yeah, right, so in the future we got those holo interfaces and computers ultra connected but people in the same office still copy files from one computer to the other using some kind of plug able storage".

But now that I am also in the future I still use USB drive to move files at the office because. Guess they were on something after all :].

The fallacies

This is labeled a pro device. Their home use marketing really misses the mark IMO.

The fact that I can mute out the rest of the room while working is a plus not a minus.

I'm skeptical this will be there on a technical level to justify the price but the concept of working in VR is objectively an improvement, especially once you factor in the portability of the system.

For entertainment - it's probably going to be the same as computer games - everyone had one for work and it was expensive and awkward - but work drove adoption and people started playing games on it.

I think this is the main failure of VR so far, it's trying to force people into this alien experience just for entertainment. I have plenty of ways to play games/watch video, I probably wouldn't use it if I had it for free let alone paying large sum of money.

If I'm using VR day to day for work - then I might occasionally game on it - this is the road to widespread adoption.

You can use the onnx cpu runtime in python or c++ too. It doesn’t have to be rust. And if you want GPU support you can even run models saved in the onnx format on Nvidia GPUs with the TensorRT runtime.

Honestly while ggml is super cool. It started as a hobby project and you probably shouldn’t use it in production. ONNX has been the defacto standard for ML inference for years. What it is missing (compared to ggml) is 2-6bit inference which is helpful for large scale transformers on edge devices (and is what helped ggml gain adoption so fast).
They showed the iPhone camera can be used for taking Facetime calls on tv using Apple TV boxes, so it would make sense for them to add a way to use an iPhone as additional camera.
> You might be new to analytical thinking, and I would recommend diving a bit deeper into "burden of proof" type arguments before proceeding further.

I guess my last response was too hard for you to understand since you respond with this. Perhaps you are new to things like "reading between the lines".

You are the one who made this claim:

> That is an incredibly strong assertion that evidence does not seem to support currently.

To avoid loosing more time, I'll write what you failed to understand:
"That evidence does not seem to support currently" is your claim, something you can prove, shows the evidence you are talking about.
Real time might be difficult right now anyway. It takes too long to figure out what the AI would do with the more powerful LLMs.

On the bright side, compute power is probably going to continue increasing. Consumers might be able to run current LLMs on home hardware in a decade or two.

Because I work on MacOS and I will certainly not reboot my computer just to play a f*cking game?
Yes, but the point is "future streaming hardware" allowing for "stream computing" as Ian Buck puts it in 2004. The prediction is not: we will have unified memory and we will be able to boil eggs on a chip (such as Intel integrated graphics chip), but that we will have unified memory and be able to run Vicuna 13B locally (such as the M1/M2 chips).
You can do better than a 6MB blob. You can code split and cache. It's not that bad. Especially if it's an app, not an SEO site.

They’re only a good idea if you have an exit strategy that is feasible.

We didn’t have one. We didn’t even seem to have an infeasible strategy for a long time! And as a consequence, lockdown became performative rather than strategic.

If we’d have locked down hard enough, and if infection had fully died away without meaningful transmission to animals, then we’d have been able to unlock.

But we didn’t lock down hard, and probably we realistically could not have done so.

Performance Testing on a Microservice Architecture
It's interesting how different tolerances are. I couldn't even stand 1080p on 13.3".

And then it needed some fractional scaling factor. Wayland apps worked ok with that scaling (though rendering was perceivably jankier), but some X11 apps would just be blurry. At the time there was no solution for there apps and looking at an extremely blurry CLion all day is no fun. The only solution was to run the whole desktop environment in 1x scaling and use this GNOME option to use larger fonts and widgets. Which worked ok-ish, but many things are sized in a funny way.

I just couldn't tolerate so much brokenness.

(And don't get me started on sharing a screen in Zoom conference calls.)

I can't afford to live where I grew up. Rich people from around the world have decided to move to the US, gentry areas, and push prices into the stratosphere. Every house on a very long block where my grandparents lived is now owned by someone originally from the continents of Asia or India. It's not a bad thing where people are from, it's the situation that creates disadvantages for people who were raised in an area originally and pushes them out to other markets.
There have been a few occasions where this has led to (literally) years of extra maintenance work for me, as I patiently wait for a team of devs to replace my custom app with v2 using $wellKnownFramework. Sometimes that v2 is eventually abandoned and I'm contracted to build v3.

So correct me if I am wrong but my understanding is that islamophobia in the Indian subcontinent is a continuation of discrimination against the lower castes, as a lot of Muslims there are lower caste people who converted over, right?

> Most of India's 140 million Muslims are descended from local converts. Many of them converted to Islam to escape Hindu upper-caste oppression.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-36220329

The idea of a Hindu supremacist movement feels incredibly idiotic. Like even if you hate Islam, you must acknowledge that the reason these people are Muslim is they saw no other way to escape oppression under Hinduism.
It's possible that the crafts are not designed for the earth environment and that it is different enough from expected environments that there's some ways for these to crash.

Those USB charging ports are usually very low power. The circuits also have maximum loads, meaning that if too many people are using USB charging ports, they drop even further. I've measured output on several airlines. Two topped out at 5W. The other at 12W. This is likely WELL below the requirements for this headset.

One will have more success with the wall outlets, but most flights don't have these. Even many international flights don't offer them.
What is your definition of toxic here?

Someone who has a strong opinion and defends it?

Someone whose basis for their strong opinion you’ve deemed woefully insufficient?

Someone who doesn’t change their strong opinion when presented with a dozen comments against it and a similar number for it?

That HN commenters are divided on my opinion isn’t toxic: it demonstrates it’s an issue with Reddit that’s affected half of those who’ve spoken up and it’s left us annoyed, shamed, or slighted. That we’re discussing it here demonstrates it’s a Reddit-specific problem.

If my behavior is problematic, then why is it only problematic on Reddit? On HN, apart from this thread, when someone disagrees with me they don’t reach for any -ist or -ic words (“toxic”, “problematic”) to describe me: they disagree with the comment on its own merits.

What does “problematic” even mean, other than that it’s bad and I should feel bad?

Calling someone toxic, problematic, racist, homophobic, etc allows for no defense because they can’t prove evidence of absence. “I’m not problematically toxic and here’s the proof…??”.

Lucky we are not building medical devices here. I’m not interviewing to be on your team in a work environment.

Instead this is an example of the kind of topic that is interesting to discuss casually on HN with other hackers.

The benefit of HN, unlike Reddit, is that disagreeing with someone doesn’t also turn them into a cartoon villain who must be vanquished. People here are allowed to be wrong without also being -ists, -ics, or assholes.
