There is a difference. We train with large batch sizes these days. The ANE silicon size is tiny and can't do the large matrix multiplications for big LLMs with or without a batch size higher than 1. Meaning that it cannot saturate the RAM bandwidth and that you're better using off the much bigger GPU on the Apple die.
> "A DSLR portrait of..." means nothing

I'd agree that DSLR vs. mirrorless isn't a significant distinction but DSLR vs. smartphone suggests possible differences in format, technical quality, bokeh, etc.

I remember a growing frustration before the v4 launch. Early on it seemed to be an aggregator for fun stuff on the internet, but over time it become more and more political. The v4 launch was the last straw that convinced me to switch to Reddit.

Reddit at the time felt lighthearted and fun. I think I read somewhere that a lot of the comments were being written in-house, which makes sense in retrospect. For example, someone would leave a comment like "Is this the real life?", and then the entire lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody would appear line-by-line as comments without missing a beat. It seems improbable that a bunch of strangers could have done that perfectly.

While there are some parallels between Digg v4 and what's going on with Reddit today, I think predictions of its death are greatly exaggerated. However, I would be happy to see something else take its place.
It literal is yes. At least part of it. How else can he judge what is legal or not?
That’s the same argument that makers of utility tokens made. As long as the items are useful, they’re not securities.

Any securities lawyer worth their salt will tell you that mere possible utility does not make something not a security. The distinction of “utility token” vs “security token” is not an official dichotomy. Something could be a utility token AND STILL be sold in securities sales.

For example, concert tickets are useful to attend a concert. But if you buy thousands of them, and scalp them, you aren’t doing it to attend a thousand concerts. You’re doing it to resell and make a profit. You have a common enterprise with the people putting on the concert.

Similarly if you buy too many utility tokens for you to conceivably use in the next few years, that could be a securities transaction by the Howey Test.

Look no further than LBRY case recently decided in SEC’s favor. I read it and spoke to the founder recently (randomly met him in a car shop LOL).

And I am not even talking about the Risk Capital test, used in California and a dosen other Western states, by which most Kickstarter campaigns are technically unregistered securities sales!

> You can parallelize it, of course, but that's a challenge in of itself.

Not a challenge at all really.
this question is too broad without additional context around usage.

what is it for?

you can get an incredibly inexpensive laptop that will run Linux perfectly serviceably, and act as a terminal to utilize cloud services / the web. just keep in mind that if a game costs more than the laptop, the laptop very likely will struggle with the game. you likely won’t be running local llms. but if you are always in a location with connectivity, this may be irrelevant to you. meaning you can spend very little on your hardware, and save the rest for services.

if you want something “more” locally, details on what that looks like will help. what you prioritize as well. screen, keyboard, material, storage, ports. ethernet or sd card slot, if you had to choose? gpu ram requirements? storage? examples like that.
From what I heard SEC didn't tell Coinbase what was illegal or not or what they should do though?
>not to sound rude, but that's a bit of a stretch.

Not to me. I've spent several thousand hours in VR. When it comes to watching a video with someone else online, the most immersive way is in VR. Things like the now defunct Rabb.it or Watch Together are for many technical reasons better (no screen door, don't need any bulky headset). But it doesn't feel like being there with your friend.

>Difference is proprioception enables you to feel limbs that are actually there, which is not as good as tricking your brain to feel something that it's not there.

I've witnessed dozens of people who can "feel" a virtual touch from another avatar on their avatar. VR tech from 5 years ago was good enough to already elicit such reactions. The determinant seems to me to be time spent in a sufficiently immersive virtual world. And we've had those for many years already.
It should because there is a net advantage coming from this difference.
If some problem seems unsolvable in your normal state, try thinking that out in high state. So, at the end, creative tasks become easier as we can easily get two different perspectives for the same problem. Sometimes, it will help, sometimes not much. But the net is always positive because you visit both the states to solve the problem thinking out different possible angles.

There's one funny exception to the rule of Nvidia naming their GPU architectures after just the surname of a famous scientist - they always refer to the "Ada Lovelace" architecture using her full name, presumably to avoid association with the other famous Lovelace.
> So it wont be awkward, as it will just appear to be glasses on your head that we've not found awkward in the last several hundred years.

That’s what Google Glass tried and it flopped anyway. People also found a camera on glasses (like the Google Glass version) to be highly creepy. Apple emphasized that the front of these glasses will clearly indicate when someone’s taking a photo or video (to the subjects who’re seeing it).

That's beside the point. You can have voice calls and choose not to use them very often.

I'm talking about actual usage. My personal observation is that usage of voice calls is declining - especially among the young.
It’s presumably extending persistence of vision not slowing reaction time. Seems easy enough to test with revolving wheel/stroboscopic discs.

Which if true, sounds like an artifact from less processing power to me.
Then you have the problem of "wait, which site did I sign up for this random forum for, google, facebook, or twitter?" and still keeps the problem of needing to establish the account, things like a profile picture, signature, email preferences, learning that forum's etiquette, the forum's organization (where's "general"?), and then only after a non-trivial investment might you find out that the mods are actually dicks so it's not worth the effort.

On reddit, I can click the "random" button and immediately discover a community that I can already post in. Do I want to talk on r/entrepreneur, or r/galaxytab (the actual two first subreddits that "random" took me to just now)? I can do that right now, and while there I also see the orangered envelope telling me I got replies to comments I made on r/zelda (also a true story of what happened when I just clicked "random").
Yes, sales failures is what I'm talking about.

It's already clear the Vision Pro is a milestone for VR and Apple. I'm not sure if that can translate to market success for several years at least.
Not that I agree with the own planet thing; but yes -- it's odd. All of this was 100% predictable and should have been expected by everyone. The stated purpose of crypto was to get around this; its weird to see crypto fans "get mad" at e.g. the SEC. It's like getting mad at a shark for going after bleeding prey; it's just what was always going to happen.

Users are not the customers. They are the product.

The customers, ad agencies, are being listened to and their feature requests are implemented.

Imagine a user like a cow, the person deciding is the human who eats the burger, the cow does not decide how big its house is. Similarly users on reddit do not choose the app layout for their convenience, ad suppliers do.
> All these "relive your memory" videos are incredibly awkward, because of how downright sad it is to strap this on your head during your kid's birthday just to relive it on repeat like Tom Cruise in Minority Report.

I mean, quite obviously the recording tech will be a standalone device (and maybe even an iPhone which are ubiquitous at these events already) someday. The Vision headset has all the hardware already so why not let it capture videos? Just set it on the counter or something...

This has become one of those meme-y dismissals that I see in all the discussions but it's so transitory I can't imagine it possibly mattering.

If you read the article, you'll see him mention this as well, and also call out that it uses some "Apple Immersive Video Format" (which is something I didn't hear in the keynote), so this is the clear intention.
I expect they'll announce that the phone will be able to record 3D video at some point. But they didn't want to announce that yesterday because it would give away future iPhone plans. They should probably have left it out altogether.
> The first iPhone was pretty crappy.

Holy sht. Can people really* stop comparing launch of VR and with Iphone?

I have been reading tons of comments here and only to see the OP, and folks with similar post here to be proven wrong. Again after again, proven wrong!

The fundamentals question is where is the killer app! Like original poster, this shouldn't be hard for a three trillion dollar company!

Only if there was a way to filter out post that go along the lines of

"....The first iPhone was pretty crappy.... "
It has nothing to do with resolution and everything to do with your eyes looking at a screen an inch from your face while a mask is strapped over them. That's just not comfortable and no fruit logo changes that.
To recreate Reddit, only the backend is needed since there are several apps that function as the front end. All the backend problems for a site like Reddit are known and have been solved. Today, it is a nothing burger to create a backend API for Reddit Blue and other third party apps. Imagine creating a backend for Reddit Blue and then asking all its users to switch backends. It is possible to have a toggle button in the settings to switch between the two.

Gemini didn't collapse, and an evidence takes a bit more clarity to be treated as such. Luna is.. a coin

Can't you get APY returns as a retail customer with pretty much any high street banks? In what ways is that less dangerous than going through a crypto exchange: by the fact the SEC is actively criminalising the activity rather than issuing licenses so that some customer protection via the justice system remains out there for this sort of market.

You mentioned FTX, that's a good example, an exchange run by a con goofy looking artist, that achieved such massive penetration even on the US market was made possible exactly because it is so cumbersome or impossible for a legit business to get a license, the crypto affiliated threats making it also difficult for normal banks to do any sort of business with crypto entities.

All that being said, sure, if they don't have a license they can be sued for their earn products.

When was ETH declared as not a security? I don't remember hearing anything about that.

Anyone else have a problem with the latency of our government? This is a law from 1934 that the SEC exists to enforce. You'd think they be a bit better at the job. This seems very slow to respond.
it doesnt exactly work as a screen replacement because it is stricly personal. Good for using in airplanes and maybe when alone but like other VR glasses, it doesnt fit well in other circumstances
That won't be vr tech. That's more neuralink/mind-machine interface sort of thing.
If the owner of the site was in on it (adding fake users/content) and passed it off to investors as natural, I can see that as being fraudulent, but what if the owner legitimately wasn't in on it, as could easily be the case if the "fake" users/content were created by third parties for unrelated reasons and not detected by the owner? Indeed, the concept of using a throwaway per submission in certain circumstances is a well-known part of the culture, which is why I put "fake" in quotation marks -- accounts are only fake if someone erroneously assumes the ratio of humans:accounts would be anywhere near 1:1.

And if the latter is not fraud but legitimate usage of the site, then it seems like there could be a huge gray area of plausible deniability that the owner was simply using the site the same way that anyone else could (albeit with a streamlined interface).

I think you are confusing OPs point. If he is a volunteer moderator he gets to set his own expectations and efforts. By introducing a financial component it could disrupt his incentives, make him feel like he has to put X hours, and change the spirit/community of the people that now volunteer (but would then "work") with him

There is a name for this effect (it's no cognitive dissonance) I think - I recall reading about it in Freakonomics, wherein they discuss it in the scope of parents being "fined" for picking up their children late. The fine actually validated the tardiness as part of a business transaction - instead of being a social imposition - and actually led to more delays, not fewer

I just killed Reddit off my home screen after a decade of usage because of a totally different bullshit growth hacking thing - they have started injecting their “recommended” subreddits into my swipe stream.

I have thumbs downed every single recommendation they’ve ever put in my scrolling feed, and now am being forced to consume absolutely random subreddits that their models have decided I’m super interested in because at some point in the last ten years I clicked through an r/bestof link.

Sigh. Now I need to actually figure out Mastodon.
"the Russians have had nearly a decade to adjust"

Adjust how? After the start of the war Russia reenabled the flow of water to Crimea as soon as it could.

"I believe the act was perpetrated by the Russians either cynically to demoralise deelectrify and dehouse"

Firstly, what is the point of that from the military perspective? And according to Putin, the regions where the fighting is going, 'voted' to join Russia and antagonizing population even further serves no end.

Secondly, attributing such meaningless callousness to Russians is either russophobia or the result of thoughtless consumption of Western propaganda.

Thirdly, what adjective would you use to the Ukrainians shelling of small Russian cities and villages near boarder?

Quite unexpected. Does anyone have a summary somewhere? I don't fully understand the bucketing approach and my 2023 attention span can't handle reading the whole paper.
> Government people are humans too

Yeah, I’ve worked in government for more than twenty years.

> Imagine working somewhere that you would never be able to make a joke, speculate on a topic, ask a question, because it could be taken out of context due to everything being documented/written down.

Everything being written down makes things being taken out of contexr less of a risk. People with the attitude “don’t write things down if you don’t want to see it in the Washington Post” are, in my experience, without exception concerned primarily about things that would be problematic taken in context.

> It is fine to desire that, but realize that there needs to be a significant pay increase and/or a significant realignment of expectations, since nobody would want to independently take responsibility or action on anything

The attitude at issue is one of avoiding, not taking responsibility. People with it are the people who refuse to take responsibility even if they enjoy exercising authority.

But, yes, you need to pay people in government significantly more, no argument there.
No noise cancellation though.

Then it's a completely different product...
Anecdotally, everyone I know with a VR headset (all of about 5 people) is quite open that porn was one reason for the purchase.

The claim isn’t that porn drives technical advances the way space does, but that porn drives consumer adoption of new tech. If a new product category does X, Y, and Z, some percentage of people will buy it. If it does X, Y, Z, and porn, it’s going to sell to a bigger audience and probably make people more forgiving of shortcomings (ha) doing X, Y, and/or Z.
Name a single "bad issue" cryptocurrency enables that did not exist before. Not one that is now easier, but one that did not exist and is now possible, that would not be without them.

Both failed badly to live up to Apple's sales expectations.

The Sunflower iMac was discontinued even before its successor shipped.

The Apple Watch Edition was supposed to grow Apple into a luxury brand and expand its margins massively (you can find many interviews with Jony Ive from 2015 where he explains this thinking). This strategy was a dud.
You pretended that 'Jan 2 2014' isn't there.
It’s standard for gaming.

If you are going to claim that Apple’s VR system needs to use meta’s style if controller in order to be successful at gaming, I think that’s short sighted.
Well, I certainly changed my mind now! Sorry, that was sarcasm, I know this isn't Reddit... Anyway: so I tried to track down the actual paper being presented (since the linked article, of course, does not cite that). No luck. Lots of clickbait re-peats and re-re-peats. But I guess you have the link and will gladly provide it?
You are right. The more popular libraries seem that way but if you look at the linux and the python ecosystem, you will find a lot more.
You may view it as "pedantic" but it is how language works.

There is a complex set of social expectations around when a thank you note is unsolicited. I could start trying to describe them, but then you'd probably call me pedantic again.
This is one of my (numerous) top complaints about Plaid. From the start they’ve been more about working against than working with banks, and that’s sort of obvious still today.

My credit union doesn’t give a flying fuck about Plaid and it’s a constant cat and mouse game that amuses me to watch. My credit union doesn’t have a path to online banking without per-session MFA.

I think banks should be required to provide a user-opt-in OAuth API for read-only access, but not so that companies like Plaid can pilfer your data.

Not that uncommon, I'm afraid. Check out the GDPR threads: there is a huge difference between the people who discussed implementing it with lawyers and the general public.
And what are you to do, as an exchange trying to maintain compliance, when the CFTC says assets determined to be securities by the SEC are, in fact, commodities.
And you could surely ship it yourself ;)
I could ask the same for a lot of things, though? Time shares, collectible card games, collectibles at large, fashion at large, etc.

Not that I can or will wholly defend crypto. That just doesn't seem like a relevant complaint.

I do question the desire for everlasting permanence of the blockchain. I know we like to keep real estate deed records and such going back as far as we can, but even there we have limited utility of that. Encasing it in a technical solution that expands to cover more transactions does feel limited in usefulness. Largely ironic/funny that it makes it incredibly unsuited to criminal use.
