Doctors have licenses, which are hard to obtain and can and are revoked for life for serious missteps. They need to have expensive insurance because patients sue them if they mess up, sometimes even if they don't. Doctors can end up in jail.

Even outside of US I can imagine it would be very easy to sue for emotional distress caused. Imagine somebody may quit their job on spot, do some financial decisions which they wouldn't do otherwise, or even commit suicide if already on the edge.

I think the reason it really works so good is that most people follow the already established conventions when writing their own macros.

Binding constructs look like let (ITER, rackets for loops, BB, my looping construct: https://git.sr.ht/~bjoli/goof-loop which pushes the limits of what can be comfortably done without breaking hygiene). Derived conditional constructs look like cond (trivia, match, case).

Maybe they are showing off this because they want to make a difference.

If you show someone playing Beat Saber, you are inviting comparison to $500 headsets. And chances are, the $500 headset plays Beat Saber just as well, maybe even better. Apple doesn't want that, so they are going into a different direction.

I don't know how it will turn out, but Apple is usually pretty good at marketing, so I think they know what they are doing.
It is difficult because Apple has never dropped the price in any of its products, aside from one time offers.

I spent a lot of time on Wikipedia back in the day. It is monstrously screwed up too, less by the profit motive per se than by innate bureaucratic urges, and (in the Wikimedia Foundation's case) the desire to control a bunch of money and direct it to one's pet projects, which is the next best thing to getting one's own hands on the money. Besides money, the other corrupting substance is Google search rank, which leads to a single article repo that everyone wants to control. The search rank attractor stops the editing community from splitting off. The profit motive is a particular form of status seeking, and one of very potent influence, but there are other forms too, and Wikipedia has those a-plenty.

Wikipedia's original vision was 1) to free the content and the communities for forking as well as copying, and 2) to give everyone in the world a free encyclopedia in his or her own language. I have a big rant about that but the quick version is that Wikipedia.org (the web site, not the project) should have been designed like Github, so you would use it for editing and creating forks, but (mostly) not for reading articles. Instead, whenever you buy a new consumer PC, through deals set up by the WMF, Wikipedia in every language should already be on its hard drive (you can delete it if you want the space instead). You'd read articles locally instead of through a privacy invading web site and internet surveillance apparatus, you'd get updates through a nightly equivalent of git pull that got all the changes with no indication of what you had been reading, you could downstream your copy to your friends or followers, you could make a fork and downstream that if you don't like Wikipedia's policies, etc.

I agree with you that Wikipedia doesn't have the exact same problems as Reddit. It is arguably not as bad as the current version of Reddit (we're here right now because Reddit is about to get much worse), but it has its own problems, spreads propaganda that is taken more seriously than Reddit posts are, etc.

Come to think of it, we also had a perfectly good distributed, peer to peer, FOSS source control system called Git, but it got mostly supplanted by a centralized "hub" now run by Microsoft, the original closed source empire. It never stops.

And to get there first: please don't bother saying that forking Wikipedia is permitted under its licensing, since that is near irrelevant in practice. It could and should be made simple and easy. Wikipedia's main value these days seems to be AI training rather than informing humans, which was supposed to be the point of an encyclopedia.

>Look at how RAM is arranged on a GPU or in a game console.

> marketing term for Deep Learning

Deep learning is just neural networks. With multiple layers ("deep") because we only recently have built hardware that can handle "deep" neural networks fast enough.

They've still been defined in the 1970s.
For those that are curious, these are the messages: https://imgur.com/a/y0mXbAk

Decoded using:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf tmix=frames=36:weights="1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1" output.mp4
ffmpeg -i output.mp4 -vf "curves=all='0/0 0.05/1 1/1'" bright.mp4

We need to use the second command, as frame averaging in ffmpeg lowers luminosity. There's probably a way to cleverly get around this, but I'm no ffmpeg expert. The secrets are: "WE LOVE YOU," some alien heads, "UNIVERSE IS THE GATE," and "MIND IS THE LOCK (?—the last word is a bit hard to read)." Pretty neat, fun puzzle, though there's probably ways to make it tougher to solve in the context of something like a hacker tournament (as the negative space is a dead giveaway).

Gallimore's theory of psychedelic action, based on the predictive processing model[1] of brain function - very roughly that normal "sensory experience" is substantially the output of the brain's predictive model of reality and that when psychedelics "perturb" the model (a bit like skewing the weights in a software NN) users experience the effects of the brain scrambling to recover predictive efficacy - is fascinating to me!

He has a free 45 part course - Psychedelics and the Brain Master Course - up on youtube[2], which goes into some detail on the biochemistry and computational aspects of this.

> and seem to be perfectly willing to absorb costs to control the market

That only works when the competing product incurs a cost that can be undercut, and can be pushed off market in the process.

Self-hosten open source LLMs don't incur any cost beyond the utilities. They also cannot be pushed off the market. Trying this tactic would be like trying to replace Linux as the dominant server OS by lowering the licensing costs for Windows Server.

> and maintain some very useful moats?

https://www.semianalysis.com/p/google-we-have-no-moat-and-ne...

But even acknowledging the fact that larger models still have advantages in performance, how shall that moat be maintained over time?

Even in their current state, smaller models are useful for specialised tasks. And I know I'm repeating myself, but they are also cheaper, work offline, and can be run on a laptop.

And it isn't a question if there will be better open source base models, and better training data for RLHF it's only a question of when that happens. To wit, we are still waiting for the 15B and 30B checkpoints of stableLM.

And other than with the giant models developed behind closed doors, development turnover for smaller LLMs happens in weeks, not months. Which isn't surprising, because the talent pool open source development can draw from, is basically limitless.
Any clue yet if Safari will support WebXR or not? A huge amount of development choice for this platform may hang in the balance there.
If you wanted to develop for visionOS, you're probably going to need to buy your own Apple Vision unit, right?

Looks like there's already a hurdle to developing for Apple Vision. The first visionOS developers will probably come from established companies rather than indie devs (who helped grow the iOS ecosystem).
Of course all of this depends on an individual. But apple is a for profit company that spent a tremendous amount of money on the R&D of this device, and I don’t see a good return of investment here, as not many people need it, let alone can afford it.

In C++ there is a default executor that is part of the standard library and has been so since C++11, e.g. no external library is needed - std::async.

std::async is mostly "good enough" for ordinary cases where you only want to fire-and-forget and have no control over the underlying dispatching and scheduling algorithms. If you want something tweaked towards your use-case, and hence actual high-performance executor library, std::async is not gonna cut it. And that's where the "C++ executors" proposal come in.

But punishing russia is bad for the economy so EU will issue very strongly worded press releases instead
"You might have cancer" is an example of a sentence whose meaning can't easily be analysed in terms of "truth conditions" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth_condition). When used appropriately, the speaker has information which they believe the listener does not already have and which, in the opinion of the speaker, should cause the listener to increase their estimate of the probabiliy of them having cancer ... or something like that. So the appropriateness of the statement depends rather crucially on the context and on prior knowledge. That's why sentences with the word "might" tend to become infuriatingly meaningless when quoted out of context by journalists.
> find it telling that your initial reaction

Telling what? My point was that Newton was a brilliant idea yet the hardware wasn’t there yet and it didn’t have clear use cases. Both concerns apply for Vision Pro so at this point it’s still closer to the Newton than the iPad

> They didn't "just" streamline the smartphone

They did exactly that which is why it was so brilliant. You could do everything you could with an iPhone with other devices before it came out. It’s just that the experience was quite poor and all other devices were underdeveloped and had serious flaws in comparison (to be fair the first gen iPhone was a pretty lackluster device too).

You could browse the web, watch video content, send messages/emails, listens to music, play games, make video calls. Did Apple invent any of that? The iPhone was a just a device which could do it all with much nicer UX than anything on the market.

VR is very different in that regard.

What are you saying could be a reason for Ukraine to do this? The flooding is probably not fast enough to trap/kill soldiers at those positions. And while those defensive positions will be "destroyed", they are replaced kilometers of marshlands, which is a superior defense, at least in the coming months. It can be held with much fewer people, shortening the effective length of the front, and freeing up soldiers to be used elsewhere. Massive gain for Russia, unfortunately. Likely nothing positive for Ukraine, unless they have something _incredibly_ creative going on.
I use my Apple Watch Ultra every day to track sleep, while integrating with the other Apple products that I own. For me that justified the price point given that I am doing my _hardest_ to improve my sleep (and am not that affected by anxiety about sleep data).

So far, it has more or less panned out as I want to. One thing I'm not happy about is the temperature tracking as I want to know when my temperature minimum is, but Apple doesn't give me that.

Other features are nice to have. One that's really nice to have is Apple Pay on your watch. With public transport (Amsterdam), it becomes seamless to go on a ride.
> You'd need to eat that much for what to happen? Radiation sickness?

No, to hit EU dosage limits (20mSv). Which still is below actual risk of cancer. This is a small risk if taken all at once (acute exposure) but not found when protracted. For example, UK workers who consistently got 30-40mSv/yr had no statistical increase of cancer. So the number is 0% increase in cancer risk due to radiation exposure.

But again, we're talking about eating an __absurd__ amount of HIGHLY RADIOACTIVE boar you can find (well above thresholds), DAILY, and for an entire year. Do you know what 3lbs of pork looks like? The volume is 9 x 5 x 4 inches and is 24 servings. You're eating that daily, and it is the most radioactive boar you can find. It is not only an absurd amount of food, but also unrealistic to even source with high levels of effort (*most* radioactive, not average).

But here's the thing, consuming that meat DOES result in a multiple percent increase in risk of getting cancer. The problem is that this is due to eating red meat and the risk would be the same if you were sourcing non-radioactive boar. You're focusing on the wrong thing if you're concerned about your health and safety.

What part of "eating 3lbs of pork a day is going to cause your heart to explode" is not being understood here? You're clearly not the only one that is missing this. I'm not sure how I'm being unclear.
Linux is full of stuff that writes to disk all the time.

I'm curious if anyone's tried using the Varjo VR-3 as a monitor replacement? The Vision Pro seems like it might be in the same league. It's got this unique setup where the central focus area (27° x 27°) is a uOLED display with 70ppd and 1920 x 1920 px per eye, while the rest of the view is over 30ppd on an LCD display with 2880 x 2720 px per eye.

While they're not directly competing (given that the Varjo is entirely wired and lacks the key attraction of Apple's software and ecosystem), they do seem to be somewhat comparable in terms of price and resolution.

More weapons and permission to strike military targets in Russia seems like a proportional response. Otherwise, what's the response for blowing up a nuclear power plant in the future? Slap on the fingers? Russia keeps escalating, it's clear now that this can only be allowed to end with the full defeat of the Russian military.

Whether the dam was blown up or collapsed due to damage is just the difference between shooting someone and slowly poisoning them, it's still murder.

SQLite is not a good choice if you want to access a DB over the network from different hosts or even from many processes on the same host (later may work good in some cases but not all). Large write (insert/update) volume is also not the best load for SQLite. And of course where replication is needed I would prefer PostgreSQL or MySQL with mature replication support to things like SQLite+litestream.
Is anything known about health risks? I could imagine that if the eye no longer has to focus on distance, that this could lead to refractive errors more quickly with excessive use.

I think 'killer app' is missing the point.

Looking for a killer app you are looking at this to be a traditional VR or even AR device, that is not what this is.

This is about having a screen anywhere, multiple screens and turning anything into a screen and any environment into one, hence the name Vision Pro, that is how Apple are trying to sell it.

If you watched the keynote I think that was clear, everyone else seems to missing the point and comparing this to traditional headsets.

The fact when they showed gaming, it wasn't a VR or AR game, it was a traditional game on an AR screen says it all.

So is your car and your microwave and your router. All computers in different form factors. The form factor - and associated culture of use - is all that matters. For smartphones, social media is unfortunately inherent part of the experience - the hardware and the OS have been continuously optimized for that use for the past decade.
Apple says they have 23 millions pixels, the Varjo seems to have only about 7 million pixels? That's quite a difference just in terms of resolution.
