It is common knowledge in the local community that many of the post docs at Tulane medical school qualify for food stamps.
People generally didn't want to look stupid back then, either.

But dads finding ways to combine "being excited about their kids" with "nerding out about new technology" have eternally been the exception to the "people don't want to look stupid" rule.
Not an iPhone user but I have yet to see a panoramic camera app that gets anything remotely high red for output. The panoramic mode felt cool, but I can't imagine they actually have the data there to make it look good. (Short of copious AI up scaling, which is a pretty new capability.)
I'm not a software engineer or anything like that and I still have three screens including a laptop screen at my desk. Almost everyone at the small NPO I work for have at least 2 monitors including the likes of finance, customer service officers, etc. When I visit other offices it's not unusual to see 2 or even 3 monitor setups. This is common even at government agencies. This may be specific to New Zealand however and not the same elsewhere in the world however I'm sure Australia is in the same boat going by what I've heard from my Australian friends. YMMV. Will be watching this Apple innovation with interest.
How is this not establishment of a religion?

The charter school movement was a submarine effort to get federally funded religious schools, schools that teach creationism.
> It's also worth considering it isn't even just one side, in 2019-2020 Hillary was still saying the election was stolen from her.

Hilary made jokes about it for sure. Trump sounded like he wasn’t joking. Maybe libs just can’t get his joking style.

Half of the country doesn’t trust the other half, and Vice versa. That’s mostly the problem right there (they trust their media but not the othersides, they trust their election officials but not the othersides, well, except in Georgia).
It literally has a list type though.

I’d like to add to this that iterative solutions are wonderful, and often better than closed-form solutions in a lot of ways. Of course you know that already :-)
Maybe it would be cool for architecture studios, but thats also a fairly limited audience.

A guy I know does VR high quality architectural renderings of apartments etc that are sold off plan. So the potential buyer can actually go through their apartment before it’s even built. That doesn’t seem like a small use case.
You could do the same with 64-bit by choosing somewhere south of 48-bits of actual address space that you hand out, no?
I wish that were in the title
Mysterious species buried their dead and carved symbols before humans
It should have DisplayPort out so you can use it as a computer too. (There's probably some garbage patent already for using a VR computer as a computer, mercy patents are just such trash.)
I don’t believe that this would explain the bust in blue states. If they were already on birth control pre-pandemic, shouldn’t their birth rates have stayed level or even gone slightly up with all the free time stuck at home? Instead they went down.
Their points aren't really even about the product at all. They start off with (paraphrased) "I can't imagine using this myself" and then launch into a hilariously negative caricature of a hypothetical experience using it. It's heavy on the negatively-associated words and light on actual critical analysis beyond the hype. Like, of course you can't imagine using it! You seem to be really really really convinced it sucks hard. Who would imagine themselves voluntarily having an experience like that?

I mean, it doesn't matter. The product will come out either way and I have no stake in it. But this is the internet and we post things.
Why were you impressed by that? WWDC is a developer's conference. I bet many developers would have been offended if they were told AI is some enigma.
While that was an initial reaction for me too, it's also really just a reaction to different tech. Many a "special memory" was captured by dad (or mom) behind an 8mm camera or a camcorder. The entire opening to "The Wonder Years"[1] was designed to capture that "home movie" feel, which would have been conducted by a parent holding something like this[2]. Even into the 90's and 00's it would have been done with a mini-dv camcorder (and later digital), which while smaller was still a bulky device floating around infront of the image recorder's face.

It's only with the advent of proper video recording tech in a cell phone that this technology has gotten so small that it's (mostly) unobtrusive and since everyone has one on them all the time, it's not surprising when someone pulls it out and starts recording.

And many a larger family event usually has one (or more) family members dedicated to capturing on film / camera anyway, so what difference would it make what tech they were using to do it?

If this thing caught on, it would be no different from any of those others, with the two possible exceptions of

A) actually being more present for the recorder, as opposed to looking through a view finder wobbling in their hands, it's just whatever they're looking at through this thing already attached to their head. Additionally for child events, they could still be actively involved with both hands (as opposed to one or none with other camera equipment and trying to work through a view finder.

B) Being less obtrusive to the rest of the people. Sure, people "should" just enjoy the moment, but I'd rather be at a concert with a few thousand people using these to record their moment than a few thousand people holding their cellphones up trying to record it around everyone else's hands.

Another thing to consider are cases where this is used by people who are already professionally recording stuff. Sure, your wedding photographer you probably still want using a real quality camera setup, but would anyone be salty about the photographer's assistant going around and capturing 3d video and pictures of your wedding with this thing? I doubt it.

> the Third World (an erroneous use of the term that relates to nations that were aligned with the Soviet Union but used to denote underdeveloped nations)

That's not what "Third World" originally meant; Third World was used to refer to the non-aligned countries, those countries that were neither aligned with the US and NATO (the "First World") nor the Soviet Union and the Warsaw pact (the "Second World").
> in 2019-2020 Hillary was still saying the election was stolen from her

That’s just a straight up lie. Or—being charitable—a shameless false equivalence.

She repeated the (proven) fact that there was widespread Russian involvement in promoting her opposition & a disinformation campaign.
If there is no competition (substitute, for given use cases and/or customers) and customers are willing to pay for it, then that is pretty much the definition of its being justified.
That’s interesting, because Tulane seems to be having a lot of trouble with this.
I returned my Quest Pro due to annoying and frequent software bugs. It was a great device when it worked, although I'd prefer a slightly higher resolution.
Microsoft has a history of bringing out some new-fangled over-hyped thing that ends up being killed-off a couple of years later.

What Microsoft really needs to do is to return to 'peak-Windows': Windows 7

To discard all that crappy stuff they've released since then, and to get back on the right track.
I'm assuming 3rd parties (like Anker, Belkin, etc) will be producing batteries for this not long after it's launched that will run much larger. If we assume the Apple battery for 2 hours is something like 40Wh, a 100Wh battery (the TSA max I believe) will give you 5 hours (enough for approximately 2-3 movies), which seems like plenty.
Human eyes need to focus at 4 - 6 feet away, is how some popular headsets work today.
Ah yeah forgot about V-Ray. I haven't tried Redshift on Metal, nope; all my work has been Renderman and Cycles recently. Curious to hear how well it works, people online seem to say it's pretty fast but hard to tell marketing copy from actual performance when it comes to renderers.

FWIW Cycles is definitely slower on my M2 than it was on my 3080 but it's not a huge difference -- maybe 20% slower? I still have to let the render run overnight either way haha.
That wouldn't make sense. "Let's have a conference strictly for developers, but let's speak to a completely different audience in the keynote."
> However, I feel like this will be a net negative for humankind.

I'm hoping things like this are just humanity's awkward first steps at augmenting our anatomy with tech. And after decades (or centuries) of withering our bodies (and often minds) with these myopic goggles, mobile internet terminals, and isolating earplugs, we'll make the jump to retinal HUDs, language skill implantation, and whatever else. The only thing I'm sure of is that we won't be the same species anymore.
> The hold-spacebar-to-move-cursor thing is just ever so slightly less efficient

The UX on that is terrible. If you’re reading this on an iPhone in safari, go to the URL bar and try to navigate to my user ID there. I’ll wait. Now try to do it on a site where the URL has a dozen parameters.
Yeah I get not showing it off for watching a movie or whatever if the hand/eye tracking work well but for VR gaming it's worrying. VR controllers need some sort of tracking and I'm unsure a 3rd party solution will be as seamless or well supported.

Hi there! I'm Cami, I'm an (organic chemist turned) full stack developer with 4 years experience working in a fast-paced startup environment. Emphasis on full stack: I've been responsible for architecting cloud solutions, spinning out microservices, hardcore DOM manipulation packages in the browser, writing performance sensitive backend APIs in Python/Rust/C++, administrating databases, you name it.

In terms of roles, I'm looking for either full stack or fully backend positions. I've previously worked in the finance sector, but I'd prefer to branch out into something different.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, hope to hear from you soon!
Why?

Because if well done I get my reasonable high multi monitor like setup everywhere I want, no matter weather I'm sitting or lying or on the train or at home.

Fun thing is if you just skim the article it looks as if they copied https://simulavr.com/ :=) (They didn't this was developed independent of each other and Apple put some tweaks in it which they claim no one else did and gave it a new name and claim they are the first, like always.)
From the video, you can turn the headset into an external display for your Mac[0]. This is critical since I'm doubtful I'd be able to get much work down in visionOS alone.

The use case I imagine is that you still use your laptop keyboard and trackpad like normal, but now you just have a mirrored display floating above it in whatever the ideal size/position is for you. For this to work of course you have to still be able to see your laptop. But if the marketing is to be believed it'll do that quite well.

([0]: Apple already supports turning an iPad into an external Mac display and amazingly it works quite well. It sets up a direct device-to-device wireless link (awdl/llw) and there's no noticeably latency. I assume the headset will take a similar approach)
Machine Learning for Physics and Astronomy: A hands-on introduction
Looks like it satisfies the cooperative interleaving via LocalPool. I’m not surprised there’s a built in solution, I’d expect (safe) Rust to have all the information it needs about pertinent dependencies to make cooperative polling feasible and safe. I am a bit surprised it sounds ergonomically exactly like what JS devs might naively assume they could do (I guess what I mean is… I was expecting a little more ceremony?).
I've got a PCIe RAID card loaded with NVMe SSDs on my 2019 MP. It's really great. Unfortunately, the latest macOS versions are not amenable to using other drives as a boot drive (IIRC may be related to secure enclave stuff?). Lots of (third party) macOS apps don't play real well with additional storage devices either, and the OS itself has some (relatively minor) hurdles to deal with, too. For project/data/"working directory"/general filesystem usage, it's great.

That said, up to now it's probably provided me with ~ fastest possible drive speeds available for macOS. For business/dev purposes, I really can't complain (except about price & lack of modern Nvidia support - but alas), even though I'm already using M1 Max these days - the single-core speed is just too good.
Talk about judging a book by its cover. From the description of their podcast:

“Tech Won’t Save Us challenges the notion that tech alone can drive our world forward by showing that tech is inherently political and ignoring that has serious consequences. It encourages listeners to think beyond the confines of the capitalist tech industry, to consider how we can dismantle oppressive technologies, and how technology can be developed for the public good.”

This is one of my favorite podcasts about the tech industry. It’s thought provoking and I can’t recommend it enough.

I never met Paul Cohen, but he started out in my field, analysis, not logic. When he realized he would not make it to the top he started looking around for easier pickings. He came up with "forcing" that applies ideas from game theory.

When I visited IU in the '90's there was a new stoplight on E 3rd. Max got hit by a car when trundling into his office every day in Swain Hall East and his colleagues somehow convinced the city of Bloomington to put one up.

While misspending my youth playing 5-minute chess at Bear's Place up the street, Raymond Smullyan showed up and asked if he could kibitz. I can write a very short book titled "What is the Answer to that Question?" It would be much shorter than https://www.amazon.com/Million-Zeros-Douglas-Crockford/dp/19.... Bjarne told me the guy had gone crazy. He is right.

When I'm not yelling at clouds I write some things at https://keithalewis.github.io/math/.

"That's why this year, we're again focusing on the core features. Phone, messages, voicemail. We literally have no ideas beyond what was already here when we arrived."
Yeah but M2 effective speed for ML is closer to intel CPUs than it is to nvidia gpus. The correct comparison here is to compare how fast you can train on Apple M2 vs an Intel CPU with equivalent RAM.
The Mac private social networking was on mad display this WWDC.

IMessaging has really upped the game on what a group chat is, mainly via emoji creation tools that will really add personality & flavor & build repetoir over time; touching stuff to me. Other nice to haves like builtin location reporting in the chat & ability to drop emojis positionally on posted graphics are also very good social capabilities.

The communication technologies on display at WWDC impressed me a lot a lot a lot. There's a huge list of ways people will have markedly better everyday experiences, with each other & solo.
While impressive, I don't think IPFS can scale to any kind of real load that even a fifth of the users of reddit using this could handle. Its a super heavy daemon and if its just gateway users there is still a little bit of centralization going on. Like who runs "pubsubprovider.xyz" that most of the data is being relayed with? same with "plebpubsub.live"
As per the usual they should have chosen the middle way and forced reasonable charges for subscriptions for those people who want to use 3rd party aps $3-5 a month. Instead they now have a rebellion, that might turn into a movement to ditch reddit like people ditched digg. I'm not sure where they'd go though, I don't know of any platform out there that is similar to reddit that could handle a large influx.
Why not replace them with AI mods!? AI contents need AI mods.
The underlying problem is that it's difficult to make high-quality cross-platform apps. A symptom of this problem is that companies create low-quality cross-platform apps instead of high-quality platform-tailored apps, because it's cheaper. I don't think we should treat the symptom by spending more money on platform-tailored apps. We should treat the disease by making platforms more interoperable.
I got scolded on HN today for calling readers of HN "hackers." Too much

Yes, probably some kind of rather
involved psychological/propaganda operation to jump-start the public's faith in technology as the solution to manifestly worsening conditions, or to restore faith in institutions whose credibility is in tatters.

Preparing for the Incoming Computer Shopper Tsunami
The answer is "it depends"

First, liberal doesn't really mean much in America. Liberal for a lot of people just means "those people I disagree with". For others it means people who uphold property rights and American global dominance to be sacred.

In the north and midwest you have a lot of poor people who are still voting Democrat because their state legislatures have vestiges of union-affiliated Democrat traditions. We see the Democrats in Minnesota being much more pro-worker than in New York or California, places we traditionally think of a "liberal". These people are probably registered democrats for this reason, even though at the national level the democrats are almost as hostile towards labor as the republicans.

In the south you had southern Democrat politicians or Dixiecrats, whose constituents got pulled into the Republican party under Nixon. He used blue collar aesthetics to bring them in under the same umbrella as the wealthy. This makes a lot of sense when you think about the fact that in the south, race and culture is a greater source of identity than class for many people, especially the poor. People will see Joel Osteen as being cut from the same cloth as them because they think that they share the same values.

Lastly, there are a lot of single issue votes in the Republican party on guns and abortion. I don't think that there are as many single-issue Democrats.
I think that's what the resolution, sensors and low latency are for.
There's a decent argument for keeping such a foundational data structure as simple as possible, but there's also a decent argument for not making it too simple.

Cons cells are certainly very simple. They're so simple that, as Moon once observed to me, there's no place on them to hang metadata. For example, if your source code is made of cons cells, you might wish that they had some sort of metadata slot so that you could use it to keep track of where a given hunk of source code came from. You can't though. You have to kludge up some out-of-band solution for things like that.

We were talking about my hobby Lisp, Bard. He liked that it separated protocol from representation, so you could have Lists that were made of something other than cons cells. In fact, in Bard your Lists can be made of anything you like, as long as it participates in the List protocol. In particular, they can be made of something that has some place to hang metadata.

Rich Hickey of course also gave a bunch of Clojure's data structures places to hang metadata, possibly for similar reasons.
There’s a few posts that are pretty valuable and should be archived in some form or another.
because legal academia failed to prepare todays lawyers adequately by telling us in Theories of Justice classes that the notion that the law is what the judge says it is was a primitive notion and believing in made up notions like “originalism” to explain purely political events, as if judges are oracles in communion with the transcendent Platonic ideal of The Law.

So the people who knew all along that convincing the 5 correct people that the law is a thing makes it the law can run rampant while everyone else waits for the Magic Holy law correct itself.

Then they believed that the Warren courts liberal radicalism was the norm and there could never be a conservative radicalism except that’s what the Court was between Marbury and the switch in time and from the Abe Fortas scandal to the present.

Historians know all of this. Political Science Ph.D.s probably know this. But the vast majority of lawyers trained in the U.S. would not because that’s not what we were taught.

So, it was never a “fringe” theory. It’s a political initiative taking place in the Courts, just like “commerce clause” scope reducing or “10th amendment” jurisprudence, wholly absent when Scalia wants to keep drugs illegal or install a president, but a sure explanation the test of the time?

This goes both ways. Activism is bad in the Supreme Court because anyone can play. But we’re also taugh John Marshall is one of the founding fathers in essence, even though no other country except Iran has a council that has a final say on the Constitution.

Roe itself and reversing it were both fringe ideas in jurisprudence at one point. But here we are. And the geniuses at the New Yorker are shocked.

These are the same people who cheered RBG for not resigning but are now mad abortion is banned.
While I have issues with mods of various forums being little hitlers, I can see why they are rebelling, evidently only the 3rd party apps provide a decent way to mod on mobile. They're already working many hours for free, why would they put up with using crappy tools to do a job they do for fun and for free?
"Buy the rumour, sell the news"
Parrots seem like a major (and long-term) commitment, but it's always interesting and fun when I see them out and about with their humans.
That’s true. The narrative can get lost or at least watered down in the process.
That's funny. I've never had it fail.
I didn't even know it was available on torrents.
Ha, I’ve done the same thing. GPT-4 is like a super nice intern that knows a ton but doesn’t get the big picture.
I'd hypotize that it's got to do with social networks (the real life one), Latin Americans seem to have closer-knit family and friends, and social bonds have been shown to be very helpful for longevity.

But it's just my hunch without concrete numbers (in regards to e.g. percentage of old people reporting being lonely, classified by race)
> Practically every Fortune 500 executive will have one of these

Even if that's true, that's only like ~50k people lol.
I am not a fan of even the look of this thing but I am not sure why people are just talking about room and work. I think people will just buy it and watch films when lying down on their beds or sideways, when on the commode, or when commuting on a bus seat (assuming power delivery is sorted - and yeah if everything needed for it is portable enough).
I’m sure a laptop manufacturing expert would notice all the corners cut. But if I, as someone who uses these computers for ~8 hours a day everyday for more than 5 years per machine, don’t notice them, then does do those cut corners really matter?

That said, I agree that Apple’s strategy of maximising shareholder returns by squeezing their supply chain to just under breaking point is disgusting and that they are ethically culpable for the inevitable results. They’re probably not alone in this, but they have the most market power and probably push it the furthest. This is definitely an instance where you can hate the player and the game.
