Mostly Eastern European countries. Some fringe far right groups in Western Europe use Telegram because of a percieved higher level of privacy. If WhatsApp went down for any considerable length of time, countries like Spain would fall apart. I do recall an outage of several hours a couple years back that contributed to a huge spike in Telegram and Signal installs.
Then, sadly it went back up and everyone just went back to WhatsApp.
Certainly the notion that parking could just be replaced by housing(or anything else) in the snap of a finger is a stretch. The initial idea of the American dream and the single family home almost has to lead to a reliance on cars, especially in the suburbs(or did the advent of the car lead to the single family home dream?). Anyways, my point is that the buildings are productive, whether it be a school or a store or a home, but a parking space less so. Many communities have been able to use mass transportation alongside infra for bicycles/mopeds/scooters to make living in a city/town very enjoyable(but this isn't really what the article is getting at).
But they can't really do anything about people flooding the system, can they? Also, how do they even know it's AI generated?

Turn your invention into prior art. Publish it, in detail, publicly. Then, if someone else tries to patent it, it's much easier to contest the patent application.
> It’s probably not all of it

When someone says they “know” some other language, it’s rarely all of it either.

Take Python for example, I know some very good Python programmers who have been using the language for 20 years and yet wouldn’t claim they know every single feature, dunder method and standard library feature, but would absolutely say (rightly) that they know python.
AI Jesus, here to answer your questions 24/7
That’s totally true. In practice I think most effective C++ programmers, while still not knowing nearly everything there is to know, adopt the mindset of “if I follow these rules, avoid XYZ, and don’t get overly fancy, I can avoid aiming the gun at my foot”.

I’d be warier about someone claiming to know all the C++ features without having a lot of experience maintaining it or running it at scale, than someone who claims to know less features but has maintained it and ran it at scale. It’s very much a language where you need to be humble about what you don’t know and careful about introducing things you don’t understand well.

I think this “use what you know” is actually true in most languages including Java and Javascript, it’s just that the failure modes usually manifest as poor performance rather than unexpected semantics like in C++.
Not an expert either by far, but DICOM isn't just images, it's a much larger data structure and following protocol, which deals with the transmission of the data between devices as well. The files are just one part of it. It also supports more dimensions to the data frames other than 2D. The pixel data in DICOM itself uses JPEG however (among other potential pixel compression methods), and it is possible that JPEG XL rolled into DICOM could allow for benefits.

I can - telling CodeGPT what I'd like it to do.
It's a bit of a different design point.

The M2 Mac mini's RAM is integrated into the SoC package, which has some advantages (good memory bandwidth, no copying between CPU and GPU RAM) and disadvantages (expensive, non-upgradable DRAM tiers.) Internal flash storage is basically non-upgradable as well (though you can easily plug in external thunderbolt m.2 storage.)

It also doesn't currently run Windows natively, nor does it support eGPUs.

I'm not sure any Mac mini model was ever much of a competitor to cheaper PCs, but mini PCs have gotten a lot better over time, probably inspired somewhat by the Mac mini, while the mini has followed in the footsteps of other Mac models by adopting Apple Silicon and unified memory.

The mini is a perfectly decent Apple Silicon Mac, and compares favorably with the older intel Mac minis in terms of performance, but I'd spring for 16GB of RAM (at least) for my use cases.
This is a fucking joke and nobody can do anything about it.
No tethering required (It is an M2 based computer) and it works with bluetooth keyboard and mouse. So, to answer your question, you will do whatever kinds of work you do today.
You mean those Predator drones used in the early 2000s that had a standard DVB-S uplink for the video feed, which were unencrypted back then? I think the video feed was IP encapsulated, inside DVB-MPE, but am not 100% sure about it?

Thought I replied here but must have missed it. It's a solid list! From my perspective, our market is a much smaller market than just "developer tools" we're really focusing on teams that want to move to kubernetes but don't have the expertise/don't want to spend the time setting it up or teams that are on kubernetes but having challenges managing and scaling their systems.
I feel like not everyone plans into the future in detail, and a lot of people make serious life choices using emotion. They might actually get a lot of useful data (though in that case it would be quite mean or exploitative towards the sample group).
Most people didn't say the M1 was overpriced. Most people said it was a good value for once. That's partly why it got so much attention. In this case, most people are saying this device is overpriced.

Also I managed to get away with not ending up on some viral twitter post despite probably looking ridiculous.

That said if it wasn’t so bulky I’d probably bring it on more flights but it’s such a pain to lug around I haven’t really done it since.

I have taken down an entire major website multiple times with both code and operations.

It's harder to do for a product dev and it's harder to do in a mature infrastructure, but if you work in infra and you haven't caused a nearly complete outage of the system you work on within a year or two, I would question if you were making any real changes to it.

If you get blamed for the outage as an engineer your management is bad. Outages are a result of managements decisions and priorities, and generally not a result of engineer negligence. Blaming an engineer is a way for management to neglect their responsibility. Extreme Ownership is a great book that talks about this.

You really do get the sense of that when reading ISO 13818-1, too. It provides solid technical information but plenty of theory and extrapolation on these ideas to ensure that you truly understand their purpose. After reading it I had a much deeper appreciation of what it took to define it.
Was this before the advent of VR headsets that do eye-tracking + foveated rendering? With the tech as it is these days, you're not looking at a rectangle of equally spaced little dots; almost all of "the pixels" are right in front of your pupil, showing you in detail whatever your pupil is trying to focus on.
I think their intention was to list 3 distinct categories, not 1 category with 2 subcategories.

Even beyond my neck, the limitation for me is my ability to keep track of the spatial location of that many things, and need to have them all displayed simultaneously. I've really just found the sweet spot to be two displays (with the cost sweet spot for me currently being 1440p, but I imagine 2x4k would be an improvement). Even a third monitor really doesn't improve my ability to do things, so I can't imagine "infinite" impressing either.

For me, the main appeal of VR is its potential for gaming, with a distant second place being more broadly "interacting with things in 3d" (such as 3d sculpting/modeling, or something like VR chat).
No, resolution and detail are the same thing in this case. Either you can clearly make out details or you can't.

Pixels per degree are irrelevant for regular 2D entertainment content when you can vary the virtual screen size. Obviously your 4K TV which occupies a very small slice of your vision has more PPD. And obviously a virtual screen which is more like IMAX-sized has less PPD. But it doesn't matter at all once you're already seeing every pixel of your content. Because if you're already seeing every pixel of the source material, an increase in PPD achieves literally nothing except for a sharper user interface (not content).

> Most of the new TV shows I watch

And different people watch different content. I'm happy for you that yours are mostly 4K. But even prestige shows like White Lotus and Succession are still only 1080p.
The wikipedia link you cite disagrees that it “proved the opposite”

Yeah, and now there is plenty of backlash for the world "we" have built for ourselves. The problems are starting to outweigh the benefits, even for enthusiasts.
The YouTube stream I watched mentioned it can detect when you are looking at your Mac and offer the screen up in the googles with full sizing and layout control. Your Mac appears just as another app and you can multitask as ususal.

This is a perfect solution fallacy. Yes, "whether this function will suspend (and shift execution onto a different thread)" does not tell you absolutely everything about that function. But it tells you things that are worth knowing, that you want to be visible (not super intrusive, but visible) in your IDE. And in a language with a decent type system the cost is pretty small; functions that are agnostic about whether they will run as async can and should simply be polymorphic in async-ness.

My website used to be hosted by Google Sites. Then I moved it to something more "real" and deleted the Google sites version. The indexer still looks at their cache of the last version that was in sites from 5 or 7 years ago.

I see a bunch of use-cases I might like, but they all have a big asterisk of "how well does it actually work".

And it would have to be pretty damn spectacular for me to drop ~AUD$5200 on it in a "I will be using this all the time, pro-actively sense". Which maybe it is!

But this press-release spends a lot of time talking around the hard numbers - i.e. 23 million pixels is a lot of things but its not a resolution. Nor is their any mention of the FOV angle (this data is obviously out there, but avoiding mentioning it in your own marketing copy means you know it's not what you want people up front comparing).
They mentioned the device can detect when you are using your Mac and show the desktop as an app in your headset. So yes that will be possible as well as just using normal bluetooth mice and keyboards.

Unity's beta program for Spatial dev
When I worked at Intel in 1997 we bought one of the first 42" plasma screens on the market to put in our game lab - and I put it on my desk and attempted to play Quake and Descent and other games on it and I couldnt handle it so close to me - it had ghosting and bad lag and poor angular visibility and it was $14,999.00

We turned it into a wall piece that rarely got used.

in 2016 I got a monitor for one of my OPs guys that was 4k and was ~34" and that was still to big to sit in front of - and my OPs guy gave it to me, I hated it and gave it to an eng, and he loved it.

Big screens are for certain people. I have a 70" screen in the living room that I never turn on, my brother uses it exclusively, and I use a 15" laptop as my personal screen.
That doesn’t suggest it will apply to strangers at all, as I see it. Can you explain why you reached that conclusion?

Imo that feature in fact makes me believe even more that it won’t be available on calls from people you don’t know — way too ready for spam and abuse.
Mostly by looking at the level of functionality and comparing to other software, cross referenced against my career as a programmer.

Somehow, I constantly come across lifelong programmers who insist on working for free. They get software for free, give their software away for free, and very often have encompassing philosophies of software freedom (and often freedom of information and data in general). I find it very sad that the idea of mutual support and love of software and art without money changing hands is regularly met with such resistance from people who haven't experienced the joy of being in a community that doesn't constantly look to extract cash from their own.

I know what exploitation is, but it's not the group of programmers working for the good of one another.

Old reddit had a compact design that filled the page. New reddit and plebbit both have huge margins on the side, tons of white space between boxes, etc. It's got nothing to do with server-side rendering.
> Meta looks like it just got its lunch eaten pretty thoroughly

I don't see how you can come to that conclusion. Meta's offerings looks far better in my view. Unless, I'm missing something here, Meta's Quest Pro appears to provide basically 95% of the experience for $2,500 less, while providing great controllers for gaming. All in a form factor which IMO is better (no wired hip battery).
Synthstrom Deluge Has Open Sourced Their Firmware
> In practice this clock is generated via the PC clock so it isn't the same clock at all...

Yes, that is the point. WebRTC has to work with cheap / commodity hardware running a general purpose OS with clocks that are not synchronized. You get a bunch of clocks in different units running at different rates, and periodically are told the mappings between them. It is your job not to "run out of memory, or advance too quickly and run out of data to process," and indeed, WebRTC implementations have methods of solving those problems.

> Probably practical implementations just use buffer fullness to drive their resampler.

You are correct that in practice this gets driven by the jitter buffer in libwebrtc, but there is no resampler at all. Small changes in sampling rate are hard / computationally expensive to do well (as you certainly know). That is an implementation detail, though. You can use a different strategy if you have different requirements.

> ...precise clock recovery required in professional applications.

What are your actual precision requirements?

I also do not understand your concerns with wrap-around. Even SRs once every 5 seconds are more than enough to resolve ambiguity. You would have to go over half a day without seeing one before you could actually get confused, by which point you would have bigger issues.

Keep in mind that even at the start of the stream, the media timestamps are not absolute: each chooses an initial offset randomly.

I think it was Craig that specifically pointed it out in his iPad Widgets or something.
That may help, but it won't fix the fact that there's not an easy syntax for editing words/phrases as you go, or at least not as efficiently as you can edit on a computer. They do offer some ways to do this if you use certain accessibility features, but without those turned on it is very difficult (if not impossible) to edit text with your voice. Perhaps they will open this up a bit for the new OS, since many people will use it sans keyboard.
I mean Apple hardly ever makes any budget price-to-performance stuff, the high end luxury overpriced market is more their thing. I'm not sure why people are surprised?
This is first-and-foremost a tool for doing work. They show people using it in their living rooms, but I get the impression that the key use-case is to use it in a home office (where you'd already be intentionally isolating yourself to get work done) — or in some other room (e.g. a bedroom) to turn it into a home-office-alike space.

Nah man, if that were true, governments & corporate would have revealed the existence of aliens when they first knew about them.

Rather than playing an elaborate counterintelligence cover game, pretending they have advanced projects reverse engineering, creating technology, a secret space program, to give the illusion of control and knowledge about some thing they don’t understand, they can’t reproduce, and they have no control over.

You’re right, the aliens are above Earth governments, and corporations. But that’s why they can’t reveal them: why we gonna listen to them if there’s something better out there?

The creation of a new priest class? unlikely.

Official disclosure at this point just means the corporate government superstructure has become comfortable with vulnerability and they’re OK that humanity goes on this path together to adjust to this new reality, rather than thinking they have to lie, be afraid, and deny everything to keep it all super secret, just to protect their authority.

The wiggle is that maybe they are only “comfortable with vulnerability” now that they think they can keep us under total control after our sheepishness during the pandemic. Hopefully not, but let’s see how this plays out, and if this even becomes or helps beget official disclosure.
