My dream is to create a performant runtime which is similar to PHP in terms of deployment strategy but is multithreaded like Java, Go or Erlang.

I started writing a JIT compiler in C here:
https://github.com/samsquire/compiler

It's a toy and incomplete but I've worked on compiling MOV and ADD instructions.
Yeah it wasn’t as clear where wearables were headed.
Note that I'm not saying this wasn't a missile attack, a deliberate demolition, or whatever, just that it's also possible (from my limited understanding of the engineering) is that this failure mode could simply be caused by simple failure, with the cause of the obviously correlated timing being that the precision attacks performed to damage roads without damaging the dam, caused unseen damage.
Regarding drugs and its effects, I'd look no further than Erowid, honestly. Large and well organized compilation of experiences (and data too).

For visuals, there's the subreddit "replications", where the submitters try to match an experience with visuals.

It can be plugged in for long term use.
Was it ever feasible for them to cross the Dnipro with heavy equipment though? It already seemed too wide for pontoon bridges?
I see myself using it for virtual screens as a work environment. But with real keyboard and mouse. And not for this price. I'll wait. Also for first experiences about comfort, reliability, practicality.

I despise desks and chairs with screens, that's why using laptop with internal screen only most of the time - which is not ideal, not at all -, relocating based on my needs and mood. But could use lot more screen space.

The watching movie and have a chat with a helmet on while moving around in the hotel room scenarios are just .... well, sorry, couldn't find kinder word for it, just stupid. I feel the sweat of the marketing folks through, trying to find a usecase they feel is pompus enough, worthy for fanfares. It is repelling. Especially for 3500, they are out of their minds! : ) It is in the way, physically and seriously in the way for movies and chat.

I am hopeful for the virtual monitor scenario, where the comfort is less demanding than on leasure (even an incentive for taking a break). Of course its exact level is to be discovered, I mean relative the two, office use needs adequate level of comfort too.
> Because that's the final goal of such movements: start with "voluntary pledges", move into social stigmatization of dissidents, capture organizational rule, and then, finally, the law.

This is the first I've heard of voluntary pledges ending in prohibition via law.

Do you have any examples?
iNaturalist has been pretty good for me with fungi and slime molds. You don't even have to save the report, just start by uploading your pictures and then looking at the suggested species. If you have multiple pictures it's worth moving between them, the classifier only works on one picture at a time.
India has ~150 million English speakers, while China has ~10 million.
It's funny, I've noticed that this seems to be a common sentiment among the HN crowd. Maybe spending so much time with tech has made us more aware of its downsides.
The Vision Pro is a standalone device.

A laptop + high-end headset would be in the same ballpark, at least maybe after deducting $500 or so for the Apple Tax.

Minimum pre paid SIM in Ireland would be around 12 EURO a month, plus would include a phone number, text messages and 120GB of data... Seems over kill for something that only needs around 10mb... It also would be 12x the price i was paying before the price increases...
This is exactly what will happen. Apple will throw the tech at it. Developers will build things. Then whatever sticks they will lean into.

Try not to follow the movement, but keep your eyes on a fixed location (e.g. a speck of dust on your screen)
Agree 100%, most folks I know have Apple watches to appear sportive, because its such a cool crowd to be in currently. The guys actually doing some proper trainings almost never have them, including me. There is also category of pros/semi-pros/hardcore amateurs where it actually makes sense to use some form of it(but I never saw pros training ie in Chamonix to wear Apple brand for that, and those folks all have chest straps), by measuring any small deviations, progress etc.

For me, it actually distracts me from workouts and activities. I used my wife's Fenix 6 pro twice for running to get the idea how long my usual trail run in the forest is, and how much elevation I gain/lose. What I estimated from my feeling was anyway 95% correct (although I don't think watches measure small variations of natural terrain very precisely). But it was distracting, looking at heartbeat you subconsciously want to push/keep yourself in some perf bracket (ie just below or above anaerobic threshold for me). Vibration after each km (probably can be turned off though).

After that measurement, running again without them was so liberating, and had this nice feeling of extra freedom in the nature, just me and the trail. I feel very well when I cross anaerobic threshold, perform above it or being close to it, don't need gizmo to tell me so.
Focal distance with most of the VR headsets are around 1.5 meters. (Thanks to the optics)
The device I have does have that support, but also supports more normal, non-IOT standards, so this is not quite the case...
There is no scientific consensus, especially long term. But with all things, if it's not what nature designed us for, it's probably not great, if not terrible for us.

Then add the developmental result of having a child with this strapped for most of his puberty (you know it's gonna happen), and I am glad I'm too old to get sucked into this fad.

I feel alienated by how positive the reception for this thing is.
If the cost was similar this would be the obvious choice of display just for the ability to put it away without risking damage or needing to disassemble.

It would be ok for a bedroom TV, because people might have dressers that might have enough space to accommodate it.

It would be great for trade show like environments, if you want something bigger than a tablet on a stand (Although a tablet on a stand is probably good enough and way more convenient...).

Maybe it would have been better if it was a 17 inch instead of 27, so it could fit on a desk and be a second monitor better.
> ”You think philosophy is difficult enough but I can tell you it is nothing to the difficulty of being a good architect. When I was building the house for my sister in Vienna I was so completely exhausted at the end of the day that all I could do was go to a ‘flick’ every night.”

Go see the house if you have the opportunity and are interested in architecture. Very rarely have I seen something that feels so subtly but without doubt wrong in proportions. In the end his sister could not live there and the house was sold - it's now some exhibition centre I think.
ARC is not completely obvious, sure, true, but it's a very very very hard stretch to call it worthy of 20 years of monopoly.

It simply seems like a multi-tier cache (which it is, after all, it's 4 LRU duct taped together in a useful way).

And, maybe there's nothing wrong with the 20 years, the problem is how hard much it costs to license it, how much the whole discovery process costs to the whole industry.
I'm a bit worried how well it's being updated still.

vim mode definitely helps, but still it is not the same as using vim directly. My vimrc is small compare to what I see people share but still has 180 non-comment lines, the same with plugins - only a few but I really use them.
Any word on how many interlocutors standing opposite you this can support?

I'm reminded of the Hallway Projection Scene in Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, which works beautifully until more than one person looks at it.

SEEKING WORK | Zagreb, Croatia (Europe) | Remote (any time zone)

I'm a seasoned web development expert with over a decade of experience helping companies take their products from concept to market delivery.

Over the past four years, I have been exclusively working remotely. Before that, I worked onsite in San Francisco and Berlin, collaborating with highly successful companies (one recently acquired for $7.1b).

My strengths are in front-end, UX, product development, but I also know my way around a back-end codebase. I have led multiple front-end teams and have also independently developed many products from scratch.

At 90-100 degrees, a 4K/eye display will likely end up being around 35-40 PPD (pixels per degree). This is about equivalent to what a FHD display would like like (27" monitor at 60cm: https://qasimk.io/screen-ppd/).

There are a lot of other factors like fill factor (screen door effect) and there are definitely some optical designs that can increase PPD as well. Apple bought Limbak recently, btw, it's possible they use a similar design as what is described here: https://simulavr.com/blog/ppd-optics/
This doesn't appear to be accurate unless you're talking about East Germany[0]. In west Germany citizens were told to stay inside, not drink milk, and not eat mushrooms. Many articles are written each year on the "dangers" of eating mushrooms in Germany, due to radiation, such that just googling "German mushrooms" will turn up results about radiation. This is strong evidence counter to downplaying the event. Such obsession wouldn't exist if that were the case and we wouldn't even be having these discussions if this was true. I'd never have to write a comment about how 600Bq Bavarian boar pose a multiple magnitude higher risk of heart disease than radiation sickness.

We can dig up hundreds of articles from the late 80's and early 90's of Germany being concerned with the radiation of Chernobyl. The articles are still being written to this day.

> And yes, Bavarian boar has a tendency, in some regions, to be above radiation thresholds

And you'll find that my calculation is based on the most radioactive boar found, which was about 4x higher than the median. Don't change my argument. We were dealing with the worst case scenario, not the average, not the best, but the worst. Nor am I denying that boar surpass thresholds. Who made such a claim? I sure didn't. I only wrote about the dosage you'd get and how much you'd have to eat to achieve the EU public dosage limit (20mSv/yr), which itself is well below the measurable threshold for developing cancer within your lifetime. That is purposefully set with margins of safety. Just like my argument is that no reasonable person is going to consume that much radioactive boar meat and if somehow they did, radiation is far from their biggest concern.

Your heart will explode before you can eat the most radioactive bavarian boar money can buy. That's all I said, don't put words in my mouth. I find it incredibly offensive that you so blatantly misconstrue my argument and with absolutely no shame.

Zuckerberg has the vision/drive to make VR headsets real with the Quest. Don't underestimate the underdog. Apple doesn't have anyone like that on their side.

> The third one contains letters in the vertical columns.

(The text is stationary; if it were moving, that would make the following fiddly and annoying, but not genuinely difficult. So it would provide the illusion of security, but no actual security. For this (kind of) reason, "psycrypto" strikes me as a rather bad idea.)

I transcoded the video to gif with:

ffmpeg -i ZNpfcfHwdhA.mp4 -pix_fmt rgb24 -r 6 ZNpfcfHwdhA.gif

then opened it in GIMP and copy-pasted various frames to a new image as layers with additive blending (Layers window > "Mode:" > "Addition") until legibility (somewhat) ensued.

The text says "UNIVERSE IS THE GATE" in a obnoxious ultra-stencil font.
Have you found anything that lets you make DOM elements 3D and have a material?
Why the wondering, there are already devices on the market with higher resolutions than what Apple will bring in near future. It may not be comparable for some high FPS use case, but as virtual desktop, especially crispness of image is very much comparable.

Anyone who values STEM and the legacy of enlightenment that has made STEM possible should definitely pledge allegiance to the Western side in a conflict with Russia or China, even if that includes
repeating wartime propaganda at times. I find it perfectly rational.
Yeah I can too but I have done psychedelics in the past, despite not having any HPPD symptoms.

Maybe cultural difference issue, but your logic sounds odd to me.

Surely with $2000/mo income (which you describe as average for HK) one can afford an occassional one-time purchase of $3500, after some saving (or, although I wouldn't personally do this, with a loan).

Or even more than that: my country has a similar average income, and average people spend 20K on a car without a second thought. And no, it's not that the car is needed as opposed to the headset, because the need of going from A to B can be satisfied by a 5K second-hand car, no one actually needs a new one.
I disagree. The comment pointed out another language with similar benefits to the article, and linked to another article which specifically talked about syntax rules of Elixir. It was useful for me, personally.

IPD isn't that, they're talking about focus. All current VR headsets are focused at a fixed distance, typically around 2 meters away though earlier headsets focused to infinity. Anything outside of the 2m distance can look incorrect and it causes visual weirdness like depth of focus blur to instead look uncannily sharp.

Not fixable without varifocal lenses which adjust focus depending on what your eyes are looking at.
Plus for audio tasks that USB isn't good enough for, there is Thunderbolt (Avid will do 256 channels via TB3) and Ethernet (256+ channels via AVB possible).
Yeah, 3,500$ for a device that offers ... what killer app exactly? That I can see floating screens? That I can use a bluetooth keyboard while working on those screens?

Newsflash: I am looking at screens right now. I am using a keyboard right now. And I can do that for much longer than 2 hours, and don't have to wear a ski mask to do so. And my coworkers can see my eyes. And I can sip coffee and eat my breakfast easily. And the entire setup I am using for this, plus the luxurious chair I am sitting on, plus the aforementioned coffee and breakfast, cost less than that. Actually, I'm pretty sure the desk would still fit into the budget.

And it's a large desk.
I always felt like Wittgenstein deeply hated philosophy and all his work was aimed at showing its meaninglessness. That is why I felt that despite the theoretical opposition between his early and late work they are continuous. The proofs has changed but the claim remained the same. But his hatred was sourced in the fact that he couldn't stop himself from engaging into it and found this desire deeply stupid and despicable so again and again he had to show himself that this is futile but as it is with philosophy every time you think you made a point a new angle revels itself and you need to adjust the argument ad nausea. So in this sense I find his preference for stupid movies understandable. The ability to just stop thinking about what you consider irresolvable, meaningless problems is a blessing and dumb pop fiction is a safe space with no traps that would cause you to think anew some problems.
Now, none of what I said is backed by any research really. I haven't read his biography and I might be projecting my own experience, but I feel like there are some experiences a prolonged engagement in philosophy causes and they are quite difficult to explain to people who have not went through them. Like, you can pick up St. Augustine or Kierkegaard and I feel that they want to scream their lungs out the exact same insight. Kierkegaard had similar relation to the theatre as far as I remember.
Anyway, there is no clear point to my comment. I guess I am interested what others are thinking.

Apple Watch 7 and SE 2022 scored on the top for tracking sleep data[0]. So it's very far from useless, we bought it for this functionality alone.

>First, you can pass in a zero-length argv (ie, where argv[0] is NULL), in which case the executed program will have an argv[0] that is NULL. A variety of programs will then be unhappy with you, as people discovered in CVE-2021-4034. This option exists more or less because this API was easy back in the old days of Unix.

Input validation, unsound assumptions, relying on magic values (NULL termination)

Boring stuff still causes damage
>4K per eye yes

I think what's missed here, in the absence of any better specs, is that they're saying "better than 4K per eye!" without mentioning that 4k refers to 3840x2160, and that it's the vertical dimension that they've exceeded. So > 2160x2160 per eye. Pretty good but not even close to good enough for a floating screen of text
Probably more like an iPad replacement in terms of software though.

>The confidence of this assertion is at odds with the what is currently known

It is unclear what you mean by ‘known’.

Known to whom? To you? To BBC? If it’s not known to you or to BBC it doesn’t mean it’s not known. It means it’s not known to you or/and BBC.

The title I provided is not at odds to what is known to me.

>.. and in-line with the war of narrative, another fiercely contested front of this conflict.

It is in-line with what well known about the dam construction and russian preparations to blow it more than half a year ago already.

It would be interesting to see you analyse your own efforts here to see how much they are ‘in-line with the war of narrative’

well, possibly some people would prefer to dwell into entertaining philosophy and contribute to creation of right amount of fog to hide the truth and own ignorance.

No idea about the eyesight, but a personal anecdote about the eyetracking for the cursor/selection: It's an existing assistive technology and a few years ago I tried it for fun for a day. It can get tiring and you really exercise the muscles moving your eyeballs. I suspect it's something that you train / get used to in the end, but it's definitely an unexpected strain on the body. I suspect that's going to become a new thing people experience like the texting thumb RSI.
I think you may be underestimating the importance of this. Say you have a test that detects skin cancer 60% of the time. ..flipping a coin would do it 50% of the time. Such a test is pretty useless. Remember that you’re applying this diagnosis to the broad population, not somebody who came to your practice with an initial suspicion.
For a tiny while that was so futuristic: the Web, in 3D. To ~10 year old me it was like seeing the prototype of a flying car, of course everyone will use this in the future!
I remember when pose detection was announced, showing an app that corrected your workout movements.
i have yet to see an app that actually does that. i'd love to have the equivalent of a personal trainer showing me where i need to adjust my pose in say pushups or other simple excercies.

thus im equally sceptical of seeing these apis used. it seems developers are mostly porting web apps to all platforms ignoring neat but platform specific apis like this.

please prove me wrong and link some awesome apps that use pose detection.
Except when they find a way mirroring the Mac's desktop in this environment on a nice way. Straight up 'external display' mode (more like external 3D space), but with less constraints on how to position the windows and the taskbar ... and consequently more trouble on navigating among those. Desktop icons might be a burden too, also wonder what to do with fullscreen mode.

Anyway, if one app was used on its OS for mirroring the Mac environment on a nice way, that could be enough for me.
I mean keep an open mind right?

The reviews are pretty funny.
This thread is filled with anecdata so I'll provide mine.. I didn't enjoy using copilot that much. Or gpt. But it could just be due to ingrained coding habits. I find that when I code I'm thinking mostly about design problems. By the time I know how I want to code something the effort to actually do the typing in is the easy part and rather enjoyable. With copilot it was rather good at filling in sections of code but that changed the experience of composing code to having it autocomplete stuff, I would check its logic. Sometimes I would still realize I needed to redesign something so I would have to axe or modify what copilot had wrote. I just didn't find that flow to be enjoyable. I tend to believe it's a matter of practice to get the most out of these AI systems. Just like someone on a scooter needs to learn to kick off with their feet, glide and steer. However for me I still need to feel the ground beneath my feet
And even worse, it’s not clear you are even allowed to use your own API access with a third party API, the ToS might forbid that as it’s not your (the person requesting the API key) app you are using it for, but someone else. That would make the whole thing completely useless.
