The killer app imo is AR instruction. That is:

- you’re looking at some kind of physical thing in the real world you’re “working on” (whatever it may be)
- your goggles are pointing out important aspects, telling you what to do next, etc etc.

I always thought something like this for auto repair would be really cool. Of course we need the software to catch up in this regard, since it would have to recognize and overlay fairly complex visual spaces.
For those of us not in the know, can you explain?
The Lenovo T14s with an AMD CPU and Intel WiFi sleeps perfectly every time, the CPU scheduler seems to behave right too since I have a full days battery life normally.

I went into the BIOS and enabled S3 sleep though, since it's sold as a Windows machine and Microsoft is pushing the new hybrid sleep stuff really hard.
I'd say target your kids age group, as you'll have some free testers :)
What a wonderful resource. When I was in grad school, somebody would buy the latest Computer Shopper and it would be passed around as needed. You really didn't need a brand new copy, so the old ones were passed around too. Sometimes it just gave you an idea of what could be built, and what kind of planning was needed. And payment / shipment were nontrivial in those days.
Install the GNU coreutils and all the other much more featureful gnu variants, put them first in your path, done. I've been rocking this setup for years.

Docker on mac does really truly suck, namespaces in Linux is truly the killer app for the kernel, maybe Apple will adopt a port of runj one day.
Summary from blancolirio: Incapacitated pilot and family flew on autopilot above the Washington FRZ triggering the scrambling of 6 F-16's. Cause of incapacitation unknown. No response from pilot on radio or after flares from the initial 2 F-16's that intercepted. Aircraft eventually ran out of fuel and crashed in the mountains after auto-course correction returning to take-off point. No additional action take by F-16's. Other sites will eventually have more data. Sonic booms heard over DC were the F-16's operating at maximum speed to intercept.
Oh! I missed that! Thanks.
Considering the prices adjusted for inflation, and how little computers could do out of the box beyond the business applications they were designed for in that era, it was really quite an expensive hobby to be a hacker!

Yeah I agree. I’m all in on Linux but my wife still runs macOS. I still have an iPhone but you’ll pry Linux and i3 from my cold dead hands. That being said the apple hardware is some of the best. They’ve earned the right to recoup and then some by charging a premium for things even as silly as ram and storage imo.

Software and such has taken a bit of a dive of late imo but it’s still a viable platform for devs to sell apps and services into. So shrug.
In addition to been slow, I would also add another factor: lack of notification method, which exasperated the problem of it's "slow"ness.

Another thing is, in effect, Usenet is a tried-to-be globally governed forum service runs on servers that's been configured differently. Some server don't allow large attachments, some don't allow HTML message, some moderator likes to delete while others don't...

The protocol don't really help it too. NNTP for example, is neither a high efficient nor resilient protocol. If your mail got too large, or your link is unstable, you'll have some nightmares trying to send it out. NNTP is also not a well-designed protocol, which makes client-end life-improving optimization very hard, as a result of it, some NNTP clients (Thunderbird and Outlook) will just let the user handle every error encountered, which is very annoying for the user.

So for me, Usenet is just simply outdated. That's all there is to it.
It honestly feels like they've neutered it in a big way. They say nothing has changed, yet the responses come faster and are far less in depth and insightful than before. It's obviously changed...
This is good news. The idea of the delayed fungal evolution hypothesis was this:

"Before trees grew wood that was unable to rot and so became coal but after fungus came now wood is ruined and it's impossible to make coal again."

Understanding that coal formation is a reversible process and that a new agent didn't permanently ruin the process, is a sigh of relief.
> People keep repeating this but how does higher bandwidth (probably not 8x higher though) compensate for a lower amount of RAM?

I guess it depends on your use case, but back when part of my day job was debugging performance problems with JVM-hosted applications, one of the things that was most noticeable was that the degree to which latency blows up memory use - whether the latency was GC, disk, network, DB queries, whatever. It all turns into holding items in memory longer before they get processed (which in the case of older JVMs, turns into a death spiral of GC thrashing, which blows up processing times further, until your application is staggering along).

Increasing memory can alleviate this, but only up to a point - and it can make things worse, because you've now got significant overhead managing the in-flight workloads.

It's also possibly that this is simply a decision driven by what Apple can produce with their M2 chips at this point, and that they wanted to offer 384 or 640 GB as the maximum, and everyone is making excuses for them.
I may just be a biased engineer, but until you find a way to apply your theoretical maths, surely it doesn’t matter if there are theoretical differences between approaches?

In the same way some heterodox political philosophies may result in new moral systems, but it doesn’t really matter that these moral systems are different to the status quo, until someone uses it as an ideology for their revolution.

It’s probably good to have a variety of theory to choose from, except when your different theories result in different practical outcomes.

This very often ends up being taxpayer funded defined benefit pensions, so at the end of the day, the loss is with future taxpayers.
I have no idea of the needs of prometheus. Samba and postgres should be fine on a machine with more than 32 MB free.

Hell, in the late 90s I was running that kind of stuff on Linux on a Pentium with 32 MB total RAM, not >32 MB free after booting.
The cost of FDA approval was at least an order of magnitude lower back then. Why would anyone spend a billion dollars getting a drug FDA approved if after they do anyone else can manufacturer it?
How so? There have been plenty of 3D window managers and IMO was all just gimmicks, not really contributing to any increase in workflow.

Edit:typo
The fact this thing has an M2 makes me surprised Apple didn't try to sell it as a Mac.

I feel like at the price point, this device makes much more sense as the kind of thing that could replace a laptop/desktop than as a companion to it.

If you can check connect a magic keyboard/mouse to it, this thing could conceivably be a MBA and badass multi-monitor setup rolled into one. And to me, that's really the only way this form factor makes sense.
Yeah. Apple tech portfolio is serious great for this. You miss Apple Silicon chip. Its performance(/watt) is now a bit overpowered for iPhone/iPad, but it's critical for AR headset.
> anonymity (email address not exposed)

Quite a few people posted under pseudonyms with fake email addresses on usenet.

> notifications

When you downloaded new headers from the server, the client would highlight the new messages in a way that made it very easy to see which messages you haven't seen and whether you got any replies to your message. Try doing that in Hacker News, reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
What about fungi? :(
> Why did we stop doing that?

cost and hard to measure returns (i.e. the cost of not doing so doesn't clearly show up anywhere)

building two apps can easily be twice the frontend dev (and worse maintenance) cost and a higher backend dev cost too (but not twice).

Theoretically with the right abstraction and flexibility wrt. to how UI components get data you can have less the twice the cost. But getting that right is hard and needs somone who knows what they are doing forcing that decision and having the time/will to setup the skeletons rightly and educate how to keep things "the right way" to not fall out this sync pattern etc.

Practically this tends to not be viable in bigger orgs (they don't want to take the risk of the expert getting it wrong) and bigger teams (they tend to have very mixed skill levels and things will get bad at some point leading to increasing dev cost approaching 2x if not some costly refactoring is done in time).

That a lot of teaching in the App dev scene seems to be more like "here how you do it the Apple way it's the only right way", "here how you do it the Android way it's the only right way" instead of "here are the concepts, this is how they apply with Android, this is how they apply with Apple etc." probably doesn't help either. I know it's a stereo type but I have just meet way to many app devs which do not understand the underlying concepts of both the framework they use and the language and don't realize it. (I also have meet the opposite, so maybe saying there are a lot of bad devs out there is more appropriate.).

EDIT: I nearly forgot: That you have to use not just different frameworks but different languages per platform to do it "fully right" succs bad, like really bad.
which makes the name redundantly uninformative! So why not make the differentiating technical spec part of the name, or have something similar like M2 XXXXX where XXXXX is the number being comparable?
> I hope it shows up in Safari and that this sign of interest from others gets it a second shot in Chrome.

I'm pretty sure the Chrome team knew at the time they dropped JPEG XL that there was a decent chance Apple would implement it--there's certainly enough of a backchannel between the browser teams at Google, Apple, Mozilla and Microsoft.
The success of this really depends on the developers’ and consumers’ patience, and since that will fade quickly, probably also depends on the amount of dough Apple is willing to sink into it until the tech allows for more practical non-intrusive products.

But it's not a mac and gaming is the current biggest application for VR. Apple could have gone on a spending spree and built up a family of games if they were interested.

There's also a gender lifespan gap that's even bigger than the black-white racial lifespan gap. E.g. black women live longer than white men on average.

I expected yet another tutorial on how to implement lisp in 100 lines of code.
Not sure what I'd do at 32" but with a 27" 4K I run it scaled as 1080. Everything is sized how I would expect but text is just much crisper.
The original iPhone was also 599, much cheaper than the laptop it was "replacing". The Vision Pro is priced so high it's not in the same category of luxury items.
They did, a few years ago IIRC they announced they had pivoted to packaging IP (like pizza box folding). In January 2020, the company cut over half its employees and switched to compostable packaging, based on the know-how of a southern California company it had acquired, Pivot Packaging. Obviously that didn't work out. Heheh.
Looks like an in-person (or otherwise live, perhaps video) tutorial session. Note that it talks about being a half-day tutorial. Odd phrasing if it's not meant to be live. This would be support material sent out to the students participating at the start or beforehand so they can prep their systems to participate.
Might as well go all in after you land, get into your Tesla, put it in auto-pilot to home and continue looking absurd driving the down the road.
Sure they were, or at least close.

Beats: $400 out the door. Bose Quiet Comfort, whichever is the most recent: similar. Sony also sells ~$350-ish noise cancelling headphones.

Going from $350 to $550 is roughly the normal apple premium.

This is $3k.

You are mostly wrong. The U.S. Census, which is the standard setter in this area, draws a clear distinction between race and ethnicity [1], where ethnicity is defined as Hispanic or Latino, or Not Hispanic or Latino. Any race may identify as either.

For example, the Wikipedia to which GP links sources the relevant data from the County Health Rankings (a project run by U of W and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation). The technical documents describe the distinction between Race and Ethnicity, which matches the Census [2].

There are a lot of theoretical tax schemes for which the amount of collected tax could be $0 and there would be a market reaction. If the government put a $100 tax on pencils, everyone would buy fewer pencils and the government would get a lot less than they calculate.

Keep in mind there are a lot of things investors could be doing with their money besides parking them in stocks. So if corporations lose 10% of their income off the top from a change in the tax code, investments like real estate or t-bills or securities are going to pick up the slack in comparison.

Today, you can do what the early scientists did back in the 1500s, 1600s, 1700s, 1800s. They weren't associated with a college, and had no degree.

Self-publish. And today you can self-publish on a website and Google, etc, will broadcast that you have done so far and wide. Then your thesis will have to stand or fall on its own merits.

I suppose you could look on this as "Build It and They Will Come".

You could even request for peer-review and supply an email address for discussion. Be aware that breakthroughs are always fought savagely. Be ready for lots of negative reviews. They will need to be strongly debated. We hope you are ready for that.

Yes that works with the caveat that each program can have its own among widely varying error output formats.
This was never a secret tho. Define secret. It's not "unknown", in this case, is it? That's part of the plan. The machinery of secrecy: disinformation. Poison the well with so much crazy balderdash, that you end up hiding in plain sight.

This narrative has been out for decades, and previous government insiders have come forward, but it's always carefully constructed with many "outs", so that people can dismiss it. So it's not secret, people have known about this, and you may have been told about this, but you would have dismissed it as crazy. That's part of the plan. That's how you keep a secret, you get the people to keep it for you. By not hiding it, just making it seem ridiculous.

Of course the details, real and high quality photos/videos or aliens, and actual physical craft you can go and touch, are still hidden. But through the vanguard of disinformation you can help protect all that by making any approach to the topic seem ridiculous. Then even if anyone leaks from that special access project area, you are aided by the fact that people view the whole topic through the lens of the ridiculousness you have carefully created.

A comprehensive counterintelligence strategy. Is how you do it. I guess.
I'm confused where you got "it was available for years and ignored in popular software" from? Most of the ISO standard was only published last year, with the last bit being published in October 2022. IIRC AVIF is almost ~4 years old by the same standards and WebP is over a decade old.

Adobe has partial support (in Camera RAW) with presumably further support coming considering their website recommends JXL alongside AVIF for HDR images. It's also supported by Affinity Photo 2, Krita, Darkroom, GIMP, ffmpeg, ImageMagick, Paint.net, anything Qt/KDE-based via plugin, Pale Moon, libvips, and almost every third-party image viewer that I've ever used or heard of (nomacs, Irfanview, ImageGlass, xnView, etc.). It also has had vocal support from senior engineers at a variety of companies like Facebook, Shopify, Cloudinary, Intel, Flickr, etc.

My first thought when I heard about JXL several months ago was "oh, a new JPEG-2000?" but I've quickly become a JXL evangelist after reading more about it and then playing around with libjxl myself.
