Discord introduced forum channels some months ago: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/6208479917079-...

Creating new topics looks similarly to creating a StackOverflow question, where it will recommend an existing topic if it exists, meaning that the search is separate from the dumpster fire that is server-wide search. It also supports pinning posts on top, so weekly discussions like the one you've mentioned are a possibility.

A couple of servers I'm a part of that have it enabled are much more usable than those that don't and use text channels, but that's not a particularly high bar. I wouldn't say it's necessarily better than reddit / GitHub discussions / Discourse. If they made them indexable by search engines and in some sort of read-only mode, it could make an impact.
Is "an unrestricted view of the game from close up" the only appeal to court-side seats? I think it's perhaps the least interesting aspect, since you can achieve this for free at almost any non-NBA level basketball game.

Or perhaps the appeal of court-side seats is the atmosphere, experience and social signaling, none of which are provided by these glasses.

Our desire for "cheap" court-side seats is understandable from an evolutionary sense. But it's almost like these glasses (and VR in general) are designed to provide the "feeling" of evolutionary benefit while carefully and completely removing any actual benefit.
I think they're wrong. I was building a product search app using the reddit api, but with their API pricing it isn't remotely feasible financially so I shuttered it. They may see $$$$ but I suspect they'll find very few takers.

Yes, the data is valuable for product recommendations, but not at the price they are asking. And if they ever block traditional scraping then all those "append reddit to google" searches will be gone too. Google is not going to pay them either.
I would prefer those forums too, but there isn't a lot I can do about certain topics only having a useful community on reddit.
These devices are currently bulky, but you can easily but them and a a bunch of other stuff into an under seat airline bag. The weight and volume is annoying but not a dealbreaker.

Also, I think we can all agree the form factor is likely to improve over time. Portable displays meanwhile have inherent limitations in use ie an airline seat.

Yes I think I have a similar sentiment. Articles like these would do better to take the approach of

"Oh shit, something huge is happening and we might not be intelligent enough to see the ramifications, but here's a humble attempt"

rather than

"Ha, the techies have done something they think is impressive again. It's certainly interesting, but as usual they're exaggerating it and failing to think from a nuanced human perspective. However us journalists are trained in that sort of thing, so we can help out here, and we know you readers will be all too familiar with the way those techies can only think like computers lol."
> Acne (from sitting on the same parts of your face all the time)

This might actually end up being the hardest bit to solve. VR has to create a dark room for your face, so removing facial contact is practically impossible.

There are very few things that normies will accept, if the compromise is more acne.
Thanks to the entire Asahi team, your work is truly incredible and so far beyond my pay grade that words fail me. I honestly recently tried and very much struggled to communicate why I was so amazed by your project when talking with friends.

For anyone interested into the GPU side, I can't recommend Linas streams[1] enough.

Getting sued to fall under govt regulation - and therefore gaining imprimatur - seems like exactly what these exchanges should want.

Which is probably why the military is interested in it.

As someone who used to mod, jfc you're clearly one of the folks who was a problem if that's your opening position.

I don't think it's got that much to do with classic X-ray imaging anymore. It sounds much more like a scanning (electron/tunneling) microscope.
The idea is the owners/shareholders get punished. If we punish them, they'll stop hiring criminally negligent C-suites.

I'd prefer we do both. Hold the actual bad actors accountable AND also kill the company and hurt the shareholders. Anybody involved needs to have incentive to stop the bad behavior.

I'm tired of people using corporate shells as a get-out-of-jail card when they do things that are illegal and/or knowingly bad for society/environment.
Nonsense. The line is between "armed" and "not armed." It's much easier to justify adding lethal capability to something that already has the ability to subdue people (and kill them accidentally) than it to justify arming something that is completely unarmed.
Crypto is for coordinating group behavior in the presence of powerful adversaries (e.g. governments), always has been.
I have been exceptionally critical of Apple, particularly in terms of ATT.
Ah good catch! The “smart search” right now only works with Mastodon.social and bsky.social handles, but I’m planning to add the ability to search for handles on any domain in the coming days.
> This system was, at the beginning, dismissed by most high-end camera users: sure, a mirrorless system allowed for a simpler and smaller design, but there was no way a screen could ever compare to actually looking through the lens of the camera like you could with a reflex mirror. Fast forward to today, though, and nearly every camera on the market, including professional ones, are mirrorless: not only did those tiny screens get a lot better, brighter, and faster, but they also brought many advantages of their own, including the ability to see exactly what a photo would look like before you took it.

Even in 2023 EVFs aren't as nice to look through as OVF from the 80s though. I'm always surprised when I pick up my old film nikon after shooting digital for a while.

No matter what you do, real life will always look better than a screen, especially if said screen sits 2cm from your eyeball
Coinbase hired those people though, and they didn't get anywhere.

The USA’s governance system is literally designed by the founders to make slow change. They were fearful that quick legal/governance changes would have less than desirable consequences.
Heroin no, but something like amphetamine/Adderall actually seems like a reasonable comparison to me.
Glad to see this as the top comment. I was a "Digg refugee" to Reddit, and I do remember a lot of outages with V4, but just like you, I remember thinking more clearly "Why would I wait a long time for this page to load when all that comes back is spam." It was the most useless, uninteresting set of basically ads that I could think of. Imagine if Reddit had no interesting user submitted stories but was instead 100% of some of their worst ads that try to use "Reddit meme language". It was pathetic and sad.
Hardware before software!
Considering how hostile the whole financial industry is to that market segment I kinda seriously doubt that. eBay and PayPal propped each other up, Amazon normalized online shopping. It’s a little odd to me that you’re so set on putting porn at the center of everything in some strange Disney/marvel retconning attempt.
Seconding that. The moment the old ux is not available anymore is the moment I stop using it. There was enough pushback at the redesign in the first place that they were forced to make it default on demand in your profile. I hope people at reddit read this and heed the prophecy.
That's the pragmatic approach, not the marketing one.
Leaving a ten year time capsule comment to reference a currently fifteen year old movie which repeats an evergreen point about the two things that drive technological adoption and innovation:

Shameful copaganda from a16z. I can see some optimism for crypto but cop tech is just sad to see.

The material effect of this is dramatically extending cop surveillance capability, regardless of the intent. That’s not a non-controversial thing to post neutrally and expect to be celebrated without criticism. Less polite society has a word that describes that called bootlicking.

The “let’s be practical here” attitude of “well we just gotta give the cops more to see them do better” is an endless cycle.

Note that davidu is in his bio anti-anarchist (libertarian), meaning he fights the enemies of the law and the state and the enemies of capital. Common enough around here but want to point out he proclaims a mission of supporting the state and law enforcement. lol. Just want to give Disclaimer to the political mission.
IIRC Jobs purchased NeXT when he took the Apple CEO job, to get a new OS base. As NeXT was his company, I'm pretty sure it was a decision based on bias and urgency and not because NextStep was the best there was. But yeah it's an interesting legacy for sure :)
What's a superchip? Is it their marketing term for MCM (multi-chip module)?
> The reality-shaping power of Apple's demo maestros is truly admirable.

It really isn't just the demos that wow us, and it isn't just the high-end device. The device is packed with tech, for sure. But 80% of the story here is Apple's strong design choices:

"Here's how you will interact with the world. Here's how other people fit in. This is how UI is going to display. We rewrote our entire UI stack on top of a physically based renderer so developers can comfortably recompile their millions of existing apps. Here's how we process-isolated the gaze tracking so no third-party app will be able to data-mine it for personalised Ads"

They didn't just build a headset and call it a day. They didn't show useless, aspirational demos (though during the keynote, Disney certainly showed a whole lot of rubbish). They developed the UI paradigms, human interface guidelines, put huge thought towards accessibility. Those of us impressed with this are not wowed by just hardware, we're amazed by the amount and strength of design thought put into every aspect of your interaction with this computer. There's so much _opinion_ about what this computer should be, and how we should use it, that's the exciting thing

Their opinions may not pan out in the future. But I'm so glad _someone_ is having strong opinions about human computer interaction in the AR/VR space, because Meta and the rest certainly don't
I'm not talking about whether or not the device supports local access. Obviously if it doesn't, Seam can't magically give local access. I'm wondering if using Seam forces me to go through some Seam cloud service when I have a device that does support local communication.
Amateur radio, for better and worse, is self-policing, and passing the license exams is, among other things, declaring to your country’s communications regulator that you fully understand their rules for the use of certain parts of the spectrum, and in exchange, are allowed to use a lot more power than it would otherwise be a good idea to let non-EEs mess with. In the US, the entry-level exam can be passed by either remembering some of high school physics and carefully reading Section 97 of the FCC rules, or cramming a few hundred questions - hardly elite-level. Germany’s exams are harder and more of a logistical hassle, with the UK’s somewhere in between - I’ve not had any reason to see what the situation is like for anywhere else.

If the current amateur radio rules were done away with, I’m pretty sure whatever replaced them would be far more restrictive. The licensing rules have been changed a lot in most countries over the past 20 years - you no longer have to learn Morse Code.

Perhaps campaign for further revisions to your country’s licensing scheme if you find the current requirements to be irrelevant to safe, cooperative use of a limited bit of spectrum. Personally, I think it’s stupid that the most popular amateur frequencies are off-limits to German intermediate license holders, rather than just restricting their power levels (a valid safety concern). The UK gets this about right, from what I’ve seen.

Part of why amateur operators react so strongly when they hear, “I’m fixing to do something ill-advised with RF” is that we’re afraid of more legal restrictions being placed on us (and anyone else who bothers to pass an easy physics and rules test). Another part is that a lot of us don’t want you to get in trouble for something you might not have known was wrong (it’s a hobby that has long attracted introverted nerds, so the delivery sometimes leaves something to be desired). Your colleague freaked out at you, but he didn’t call the FCC-equivalent down on you.
The primary use cases of ETH are changing state of the network and collateral for state change validation. Requester pays to effect change and some ETH is burnt and some goes to validators to incentivize operation. What other security does that? I don’t expect profit when using it to change state of the network.
Why would that be counter-intuitive?

Poor, marginalized communities suffer disproportionately from crime — and accordingly tend to promote pro-police policies.

The only people who don’t recognize that are bourgeoisie who associate those communities with crime — and due to their own biases, assume they don’t want more police from a place of (near) total ignorance. Or who have their privileged sensibilities offended by the fact communities which suffer disproportionate crime also have disproportionate criminals — so try to sweep it under the rug with biased enforcement.

But those are luxury beliefs, reinforced with manufactured consent by bourgeois institutions: people actually suffering from crime tend to have considerably more practical beliefs.
It's disappointing to see reporting based on machine translations. Unfortunately it's not at all uncommon and many people will accept the gibberish mtl outputs at face value.
Most of our customers today are startups and a handful of large enterprise customers. Generally they're trying to connect and control their app users' devices. A common use case is smartlock & thermostat control for Airbnb reservation software. But some of the customers are actually controlling their own devices. This is usually the case for the large ones. Think real-estate group spanning multiple states with hundreds of buildings. They have fragmented fleets of devices and can't integrate them all.

Ultimately you can definitely use Seam as a hobbyist. A few people do. I have it running in my house alongside Home Assistant. But we're not ever planning on monetizing that segment.

The terraform is pretty interesting. If you could drop me a note sy@seam.co with an example configuration, I'd like to discuss it internally.

>And last but not least, this kernel release includes base support for the M2 Pro/Max/Ultra SoCs! We are not enabling installs on these machines yet as we still have some loose ends to tie, but you can expect to see support for this year's new hardware soon."

Amazing
These protests aren't the final course of action for reddit moderators. This is just a visible way to voice dissatisfaction and raise awareness. These protests come with the implicit threat of escalation if reddit continues with their planned API changes.
"People buy it" could mean a lot of things and I'm not sure what you mean. I don't think anyone is arguing that literally no people will buy it. "It works and people buy it" is a phrase that could be used to describe the Magic Leap One.

In my comment I wrote "be a market success."

Millions of people. Not a centralized exchange like this.
I disagree entirely.

There’s a real non-negligible cost to Reddit hosting the content.

The bottom line is there’s solutions here.

- High volume API users pay up and subsidize the cost of everyone else

OR

- All Reddit users pay a monthly 9.99 subscription and the API stays the same.

OR

- A not-for-profit let’s say Internet Archive takes ownership and begs the Reddit community for donations (ie. Wikipedia)
If you're doing on-the-road visuals and you want a chunky realtime rackmount to render with, $7k for an M2 Ultra might look like a steal. For hosting purposes and parallel workloads though, there are many other options at much better price/performance points in the same market. If you're not leveraging Apple software and you pay for an Apple Silicon server, you're kinda wasting money that could have gone towards an Ampere or Grace instance instead.
My first Linux box was a 386SX laptop with 3 megs of RAM (1 on the motherboard, 2 in an add-in card.) This was back in the Linux 0.99.x days.

I late upgraded to a 486 and it was like night and day!
My hot take from a random person spending time in the trenches: Meta leadership is focused on a _meta_ problem, namely that they do not own a major platform and are constrained from further growth compared to Apple and Google who do own major platforms. They are perfectly happy to be the android to whatever the next iOS is. From that perspective, a halo device is a risky bet because it doesn’t let you onboard a lot of people quickly and start building platform.
Yes you are right. It's not clear what the 12ms represents, input delay or framerate or something else. Hopefully we will get better tech specs soon.
It makes sense to consider those two proposals as the unrelated technologies they are.

We can in fact choose which technological rollouts are beneficial and which are harmful. I'm not sure what point you're making by trying to link the two.
> Five games will feature celebrity broadcasters and be shown in 180-degree immersive VR, and WNBA games, NBA G League games and NBA 2K League games will be available to watch as well.

There's a big difference between just five games and all the games in a season.

I could totally see it moving $3500 headsets if it were actually all games. Also 180° is good enough for a lot of things but for this you'd want 360°.
And you think you know more than the SEC
Yes. I put that in the capability rather than performance basket though. As in, you can't access the compute shaders yet, rather than: you can and they're slower.
People buy non-pro iPhones for $800 - 20% less than the Pro; they are willing to buy MacBook Air's for >$1000 or so, more than half the price of a Pro; if this is marketed as both a TV and computer monitor replacement, many will be willing to spend quadruple digits (or $45 a month for 24 months) even on next year's budget version.
Does anyone know if teddit uses the reddit API? I believe it is inspired by nitter which is a twitter reader which circumvents the twitter API.
ATI/AMD GPUs supposedly have great hardware, hamstrung by less-than-great software. In fact it's the lack of some software features making me hesitate to switch despite major cost savings.
No power banks on plane
People don’t want to wear these it seems. Some do, some don’t, sort of like masks or regular glasses. Those that don’t will mock those who do.

This will never get widespread adoption but that’s fine. It’s a niche product for a relatively small market. Maybe they can get IT departments to purchase them for execs and certain workers, which would help explain the price tag.

I bet Zuckerberg buys one.
From Coinbase's page about staking:

> Staking requires assets to be locked on the protocol in order to earn rewards.

This is not true for my savings account.

As for loans, Reves v. Ernst & Young established that "a note is presumed to be a security unless it bears a strong resemblance, determined by examining four specified factors, to one of a judicially crafted list of categories of instrument that are not securities". That list of exemptions includes mortgages; it does not include cryptocurrency staking.
> I can know with significant certainty that shoving my house key in a random lock won't copy the form of my key and send it to a 3D printer

My argument is that no city with this many parking lots can be walkable, not that removing them would make it walkable.

Not being 90% empty space is a necessary condition for walkability.
Generally, regulated industries provide a better measurement (housing, healthcare, food, etc..) than unregulated ones (TV's, computers, etc..)
The tech isn’t there for “just glasses”. You need motorized optics, sensors to measure your eye movements, and a dozen cameras to capture your surroundings, hand movements, etc. Also, image processing in a separate device might increase the AR pass-through latency, which allegedly they got down to 12 ms.
> the average C programmer can't spot UBs before they cause a problem

No, the average C programmer probably can spot some UBs, but I think there are many more undefined behaviors than most C programmers realize. John Regehr wrote a series of blog posts about some of the trickier UBs, starting here: https://blog.regehr.org/archives/213
What Happens When Cities Run Out of Money
It might take time. But we can't assume that. Like 3D movies or 3D TV, it might get pushed for a while on a wave of investor and corporate money before it goes back to being irrelevant. Sometimes a modest success is the harbinger of great success. Sometimes, as with the CueCat, it's the absolute peak.
