>I think software should cost money.

What an odd opinion to have about software, but not about labor or content.
Perhaps reddit should have to pay every moderator for the work that they do. Perhaps they should pay ever user who upvotes or downvotes since they're sorting content for reddit and not getting paid. Maybe reddit should pay for everyone who posts or leaves comments since the only reason reddit is worth anything at all is the content provided by those "cheap users" you think are freeloading.

If reddit wants to have a hobby where they run a website collecting the labor of others they should pay for it right?

The internet is a better place when everyone who uses a website isn't required for fork over hard cash. Not every means of displaying web content or interacting with websites should require someone to fork over money to those websites either. Worst of all though is how dumb reddit is being to cut off these third party tools and interfaces which have features that are in high demand. Reddit will lose users if those users are forced to use their shitty interface, but worse reddit will lose a ton of data on what sorts of features their users desire but which reddit has never considered offering.

One of the great things about having a bunch of third parties writing software (mostly for free) that interacts with reddit is that reddit can (as they have in the past) poach ideas from those apps and improve their service which will only make them more successful.

The people who work for reddit (by which I mean the people who are currently paid to work for reddit since most of the people doing work for reddit are entirely unpaid) are not impoverished. No one is suggesting that they deserve nothing at all. It's perfectly fine for them to make money, it's not fine for them to try to make money by screwing over others (including themselves). This is shortsighted greed on reddit's part that will ultimately result in reddit being worse. It's no wonder so many people are against it.
The point is that it would suck to be the one kid in grade 6 or 7 that doesn't have a phone. If parents collaborate on waiting until a healthy age - ideally if it becomes a societal norm - then kids don't need to feel left out.
If anyone can pull this off it’s Tim Cook: make no mistake, you could live a thousand years and never see a nuts and bolts logistics and go-to-market maestro like him.

With that said, as others have commented, the iPhone and iPad and maybe the watch are just the form factors that make sense. Science fiction from Star Trek to the Expanse has…iPads.

I appreciate that the investment community has been waiting for a new iPhone like the USSR was waiting for a second front, but when Carmack says the batteries don’t work for the graphics?

Yeah, I’m wait and see.
> Don't Reddit and Twitter email you when you get a reply -- or at least have the option to get an email?

Yes, but you would have to check a completely different service to see whether you got any replies. Most people would probably refresh the comments page or click on the notification icon directly in the page.

> With Usenet you had to go check.

Clients could be configured to check for message every X minutes/hours, etc, but just clicking on "Get messages" would show unread messages. And you could easily find replies to your comment(s) since the thread pane would essentially provide an indexed view of the entire thread including every subthread that you could expand/collapse. The other advantage was that you could see new messages in context.

On the other hand, when clicking the notification icon in reddit, you see new messages in isolation and would have to click on the context link to see what they're referring to.
wasnt google glass the first step?
>This sounds a lot like the use cases stated for the office metaverse thing FB was pushing that failed to materialize.

Apple might be a company that is better at implementing hardware and platforms than other companies, especially Facebook.
Too bad MacOS looks like dog shit on a lot of regular-ass monitors.
But in base 2 it’s many orders :D :D

More seriously the repeated quote-the-marketing in this article was annoying. You’re explaining your use of it, and your experience is the only thing that matters. Everyone has read the specs at this point.
I think the problem is the plural. You could convincingly say that 24 is _an_ order of magnitude bigger than 4, even if technically log(24) is 1.38 … it’s a close enough approximation.
Interesting, eliminate the drone part and that actually makes sense. Have a few very high resolution cameras at a distance, and you could NeRF a similar view unobtrusively.
I would certainly agree with that for developing new diagnostic assays. But unfortunately clinicians doing direct patient care seldom have the luxury of taking things slow. Demand is growing every year and we aren't adding new providers at the same rate. Taking things slow with one patient means another patient has to wait in line.
There needs to be a nerdy online official saint or knighthood title for people like this.
I personally don’t trust pay once anymore…

For recurring / non-recurring depends on the product. But the model of pay non-recurring is something I prefer in a private setting and sometimes even in a business setting.

If use you product every 3-4 Months, let me pay for the month I use it.
That's why I said keep 2 lanes.
The term you are looking for is ‘random access point’.

This property is more a function of the encoding parameters of the video stream. It just happens that MPEG-TS is typically encoded so as to minimize the reasonable time between RAPs.

Also, MPEG-TS streams have sync bytes every 188 bytes, making it trivial to align the bitstream and then find the RAPs. Basically the use case you are describing is just the normal operation of a broadcast decode; get a stream at some arbitrary point of broadcast and decode it.

Ex–Intelligence Official Says Government Is Hiding Alien Tech from Congress
Can I run NVim on it?
I'm not talking about adult brains. I was on YouTube and Reddit as a child too, why would I think it would effect them more as a kid and not me? I remember watching Rebecca Black's Friday in middle school on my Samsung Galaxy and shitposting the video on unrelated subreddits until mods banned me. Yeah it was stupid but I don't think it's the end of the world.
It was a special kind of vacation.
Did you try to suggest by the common name or the Latin name? It's highly unlikely that the app would have all the common names of all the plants. Even the common name "ghost fern" refers to a few different plants. Most commonly in the ornamental plant trade it refers to a hybrid variety called Athyrium x hybrida 'Ghost'

The other major issue with ornamental plants is that they're often selected for very particular physiological characteristics. This often leads to plants that visually look very different from their wild ancestor but are still extremely closely genetically related. If you've ever had a variety of a plant with variegated leaves for example, you'll probably trip apps like these up a lot. It's simply too difficult to keep up with all the new ornamentals being bred every year. The data just doesn't exist and they're quite often weird hybrids with uncertain phylogenetics anyways
I don’t mean to make this personal, but have you raised a kid?

If someone is holding up an iPhone taking a video, especially up close it is a distraction.

Depending on how much they are aware of it and the person’s self consciousness, it can really take away from or alter a moment to have it so obviously recorded.

Kids can be extremely perceptive and sensitive.

Our kid is not even two and there is a subtle change when a phone is obviously out, pointed at them and capturing them.

I know it’s always better to interact without a phone in sight.

I still capture a lot of great stuff but sometimes something is so special I can’t bring myself to disrupt it by trying to record. My wife and I will look at each other and know something truly amazing is happening and both just live the moment.

Looking at the Apple Vision, as it is at launch—-it looks disruptive to both the subject and the wearer in the circumstances I’ve described above.

Perhaps in time they will become so ubiquitous a headset like this will be noticed as little as a smartphone.

But at the start, especially with the price and production volume expected this is very likely be an unusual thing to see around in the world.

Yet in the example Apple showed it appeared to be taken very, very close to the action.

I’d guess if someone tries to do this it will cause all the other kids to be looking at you, not your kid during their special moment.
thanks, I want to test operator precedence in particular. So far it works as expected in my test programs, but that isn't guarantee
It also may not have been wrong then. Being outdoors and playing with others is great for kids, watching TV is... mixed. Same w video games. Definitely dosage dependent. And it's pretty clear social media is not good for kids.
This is the easy way out of the problem, but I am afraid, not the correct one.

My kid has had his own tablet since 6, his own PC since 8, and his own cellular since 9.

So far he hasn't turned into a domestic terrorist, and neither is he selling heroin for crypto on the dark web. Also, he has specific times when he can use his devices аnd limits on how much time.

All modern OSes have some sort of parental controls built-in, and when the native controls are not enough to your liking there are plenty of third-party software in the market.

Technology is what allows my kid to connect and play with his friend from the former place where we lived, is also the source where he learned about black holes and watched the Space-X and China's Shenzou launches. Yeah, there's quite a big amount of trash on the web, just like we had on TV.

But the solution is not pretending it is not there and hoping they won't become absolutely fascinated at the magic age of 14.

We are supposed to parent. Part of the parenting stuff means supervising and guiding in all environments your kid has contact with, including screens.

If your kid is addicted to screens, it is on you. Just delaying their first contact to the age of 13/14 won't magically guarantee they will be able to navigate it responsibly. This is just magical thinking born out of laziness.
Yes! That is an article. The post link is a video. Ha ha ha! :)
> Buses need roads too

That's why I said keep 2 lanes (1 in each direction). Anything more is optional and should be counted as effect of car-centric development model.

> train tracks are just as big as roads but less versatile

1 railway track in each direction gives you more throughput than any multi-lane motorway possibly could.
Code is also data in C++, because a source file is a vector of bytes, which is a type of data that C++ can manipulate.

I think when people say “code is data” what they really mean is something more specific, like the AST is easy to access and manipulate in the language.
You know eminent domain for highways and “slum” clearing were real things that happened? There were literally bulldozers crushing peoples’ homes in some cases. And as for the slim clearing in NYC, people weren’t driven anywhere the government just told them to fuck off.

But the policies I’m referring to are around federal home lending programs that only lent money for suburban developments, the construction of interstate highways, paying for “slum clearing” in the 1950, and so on.

But why bother knowing anything about history…
Giving a smartphone to a child is creating a lot of problems. In Korea, many parents play YouTube videos to their whining children, and many wonder if this is contributing to the rise in ADHD in children. Parents and the government must make a decision before a bigger social problem arises.

It seems awfully convenient that the laptop folds down nice and flat. It takes up very little space. Headset like this is still kinda big to carry around with you... Maybe just a preference on my part, but I quit carrying my big can headphones around with me because they were too bulky. I'd never carry around a headset like this. Plus you look like a dick wearing one.

These are all great tips, and I need to keep them in mind. I have a blog post I've been trying to finish for months, and pretty much all of these things have been holding me back.

Not really a "myth", but I'd also say: Don't box yourself into writing about one specific topic.

I find blogging to be a really rewarding thing to do - but I gotta remember that I do it for myself and not others. When I start to drift away from this then I start to suffer. It's an interesting thing to balance, since you're publishing things online.

One strategy that works well for me is to first do all my writing and note-taking in an actual notebook. This lets me write freely and explore ideas. Then I can make a decision about whether or not to polish and publish.

Interesting...seems like a generalized issue with identification type AI?
is it really this difficult to project 3-5 years into the future where this thing is cheaper, more powerful, and has an app library ... because all of the actual pros bought the launch model to develop software for it in 2024? then give it a 24-36 app dev cycle and you're going to hit the adoption curve. in about 5 years.

this is literally how every single thing has worked in this industry for like 50 years now. are there really people on this site so young that they don't remember how this works beyond a single product hype cycle? is it that hard to remember how compact discs, dial-up internet, laptops, multi-CPU/cores, DVDs, mp3 players, broadband, smartphones, bluetooth, wifi, flash, SSDs, GPUs, plasma, lcd, led, smartwatches, EVs took 5-10 years to hit mass market? "well, that's different, those were obviously going to be hits" -- no. wrong. all of this stuff was atrocious and atrociously expensive when it first came out. anyone remember the first orinoco wifi cards? or bluetooth? the shit didn't even work.

here are some current things that sort of suck but will probably also continue get better: satellite internet, smart home tech, solar tech, LLMs. this stuff will get better. it's the housing, education, healthcare, financial services that are going to get worse and worse because all of the money flows to the people making the tech. talk about missing the forest for the trees.

i mean is it REALLY that hard to remember this stuff? am i REALLY that old? am i taking crazy pills?

Hi Frank :wave: - Jeff from Chroma
My guess is that if you dislike even wristwatches then something like this is just going to be a nonstarter right? For me, I'm comfortable with nearly 24/7 wear of watches and an hour or so in the quest on beatsaber - if they manage to improve image quality I think k that's a major factor for making it more comfortable. Beatsaber is fine, but I couldn't imagine doing anything that actually required reading or the like, that would hurt my eyes pretty fast
The choices which make the most sense depend on the choices of those around you. For example, I always get the laptop all my colleagues use at work because then troubleshooting development problems is easier.

If you are the sole kid without a smartphone or without social media in a class, it is very easy to get excluded, as plenty of things will be organized on social media. I don't know how one could have functioned at university without Facebook when I attended, as it was how everything from sharing study materials to clubs to finding rentals to even conference applications was organized.

A school with a large proportion of kids without smartphones is going to organize social communication differently. Event notifications will be organized differently. Teachers won't expect that the kids will download particular learning apps to access results.

Following some of the threads, there's satellite evidence it may have just failed for mechanical reasons. If this was unintentional and they didn't abandon those positions downstream they're in for a bad time.

> It shouldn't be used on discs (ahem Blu-ray) or other storage and it shouldn't be used over the Internet.

I thought Blu-Ray switched to program stream, but DVD was transport stream (sounds like I've got things backwards though). Transport stream for optical media isn't that insane though, because while you can seek, seeking isn't great, and if you have a failed read, it's probably better to just move on than to retry that sector a bunch of times. Of course, using transport streams allows for smaller buffers and lower BOM, so there's that too.
Well, I've paid something like $200/year for a fitness app in VR. So I can easily imagine a small number of rich Apple users paying $500/year. If you can get a few thousand users paying $500/year, pretty soon you're talking about decent money.

But so far, that is the only app category I can think of that would justify me quitting my job and trying to bootstrap a business based solely on an app for Vision OS. I feel like I am probably overlooking a couple, though... :-D

Eh I wouldn't say that. You can selective breed certain plants to look extremely similar to other plants over the course of even a single year. As in, you would be able to trick a human being as well. If AI is making the same mistakes as a human, I don't really think it's a problem with the model as much as a limitation of the data

I mean taxonomists themselves have often been proven incredibly wrong once phylogenetic studies have been conducted. There's simply major limitations to identifying a species by it's physical characteristics alone. Not to mention you don't get to, for example, smell, touch, taste, or watch something over time. Really it's incredible how accurate they even are already
I would describe it differently: Psychedelics like psilocybin and LSD deactivate filters in your brain (parts of the default mode network to be precise). These filters are unconscious and do not only block weird visual effects but also thoughts and emotions. Some of the thoughts and emotions they block are scary and we probably installed those filters in our childhood during "traumatic" events but some of these thoughts and emotions were filtered because we were taught to ignore them or that they would be false or we tried things while growing up and always failed with them (not because they were impossible but due to the circumstances, e.g. parents not allowing it).

Well with those filters removed you don't only see "raw", unprocessed images, you also get all those thoughts back. Some of them can be very scary and lead you into a "bad trip" but some are also incredibly(!) freeing. And it's impossible to explain this feeling of having no mental filters to someone who did not experience it because all those filters are not conscious. You don't even know you had them until they are gone!

But the parents are too addicted to screens to parent.

Jokes aside, it doesn't help that many parents are not great with technology (not everyone out there posts on HN) so that even relatively straightforward settings changes like placing usage constraints on your OS may not be clear to parents. I bet many parents don't even know the extent to which they can do that, let alone how.

The general point is, our overall management of consumer technology in society is a complete mess thanks to the fact that its solely driven by profit seeking.
