Wish they would do this on iOS (and allow a custom install button). They recently removed shared Caches between serviceworkers in Safari and the PWA on iOS, requiring to relogin after every PWA "install" :(

As for your (2) point, I think cookies is the only thing that should be copied. LocalStorage or IndexedDB could result in inconsistwncies and breakage (PWA and Website code can version missmatch).
Some other things mentioned at WWDC besides Vision Pro: The new macOS is getting a "game mode" for better performance during gaming (even though it's already pretty good!) and they're making porting to mac easier too. Oh, and Hideo Kojima was one of the presenters and talked about bringing his stuff to mac. Apple is clearly starting to court gamedevs and gamers, and I'd be willing to bet that what we've seen so far is just a start. Apple doesn't usually half-ass things.

>I think back in the days there was a natural stop. Like cartoons only aired in the afternoon or on Saturday. There been time slices when one where able to enjoy a specific medium. Hell even stuff like porn came in limited doses for normal people. But today? My kids could watch cartoons for the nexts month without a pause.

What you are describing sounds closer to retro 1900s world. I binged plenty of YouTube and porn and Netflix as a kid, and so did almost everyone I know.
Definitely pros and cons. I remember reading that because of the tight integration with iOS this allowed them to achieve best in class latency for iPad + pencil that couldn't be achieved on any other platform. Having followed Oculus / Quest development that low latency is not optional in this context and every millisecond counts so I can see why they would go this route.

On the other hand, the closed ecosystem is definitely cause for concern. Fingers crossed that WebXR support comes out from behind a feature flag to allow for progressive (spatial) web apps.
I have, though not on DMT (I find it a little too mind-shattering for that level of conscious thought).

Hallucinogens generally tend to make concrete thoughts more difficult, and abstract ideas easier. E.g. it is harder to see someone farming as a farmer, and easier to see them as a member or representative of a group united by farming. Sometimes there's even a sort of recursion; that person is a representative of farming, but also more generally a member of the city, and a member of humanity, and a member of animals, and a member of living things, and a member of the universe. The Farmer is prototypical of farmers, but also of life in general.

I think that's the root of the psychedelic idea that all things are interconnected at some higher plane. Every living thing is unified by being prototypical of life, despite knowing that many living things share little in common in the same way that that farmer may share little in common with other farmers beyond profession.
Does anyone know if the new design team is part of that?

I don't know about 6GB but if you have a 12GB or 16GB card you should be able to run the vast majority of NeRF work out there, most of it is designed to run on a single GPU.

You don't have to be a threat, just appear as the biggest possible one.

"based on how strong their bows are when you are traveling in a stealth bomber."

One has to know what a bow is and that they only have bows to come to that summary conclusion. If you have no knowledge of the capabilities, caution is warranted - whether we're talking about civilizations or a new species of spider.
Yes, that is part of the (theorized) feedback loop that has happened many times.

Just looked it up, since I remembered hearing about it and apparently there are some new rules where you only need one if you average more than 20000 viewers.

That's the case for just 2 streamers in Germany. No other streamer had more than 20k average viewers in the last 30 days, but some are close, so they might have one as well.
I love going to shows, and I love a drink, and yet I've never had any idea how normal people can drink at shows. Like, shows last for hours - I want to keep my energy up through the whole thing, which is not going to happen if I drink, and the last thing I want to do is need to go to some god-awful bathroom during a set. I'll gladly meet you at a bar to chat and have a drink, but if we're gonna rock or even catch some jazz, it's probably going to be sober for me.

(Edit: perhaps because shows used to be cheaper, people would just go see whoever and get trashed?)

The off-center keyboard thing is super irritating. I know some live and die by numpads but for my usage, 99% of the time they're just collecting dust and making typing less comfortable.

Laptop displays are also a common frustration, though this has been improving lately. Still too many models stuck on 16:9 aspect ratio though, which is suboptimal for anything but watching movies due to lack of vertical real estate. By the time you've factored in all the taskbars, titlebars, toolbars, menubars, tab bars, and status bars you've got a keyhole left to peer through. This is less of a problem for those using something like i3 or Sway where half of those bars are hidden but tiling WMs just aren't my thing.
Why crypto will never be mainstream. Be dependent on storing a private key that can get lost or stolen. Need to store a hard copy at a bank in a safety deposit box. Can’t even trust the hardware wallets you buy off Amazon since it could have been returned with malware loaded.

I tried a Zume delivery several years ago, hoping to see their robotic pizza-cooking truck. It ended up being delivered in a regular car.

From the article:

> Bloomberg reported that the company quickly gave up on the cooking-while-driving model — cheese kept sliding around when the truck hit bumps in the road — and started parking in central locations to send out typical deliveries.

The car delivery would have been OK, but both pizzas were terrible, just about the worst I've had. Did not order again.

Went back to ordering from Amici's in Menlo Park. Theirs are always good, and their Caesar salad with house-made croutons is excellent. (Be sure to get anchovies on it!)
>Should we just release them back to nature and possibly let them die out there?

IMHO, not my field.

Most of the wild animals that live a time in captivity needs to learn again with human help where obtain again food before to completely return to the wild.

If domesticated species were going to be released, by extrapolation I deduce the matter would be to know to what extent did they lost their instincts (due human selection), and how they could be guided along N generations to recover it (this plant smell is poisonous), or if the above is to much to learn at least were to find the food, for what an habitat would be needed first, in companion of a high number of animals for to keep a high genetic diversity, with migration paths (climate, group mixing, etc).

They probably both have advanced technology and are caught off guard by other peoples' advanced technology. With China we are already back in a multipolar world.
Here’s the thing - I didn’t believe in crypto but was willing to believe it had a small chance to be very successful. This made it make sense as a VC investment. Im willing to believe Andreessen saw it that way. The problem was that Andreessen sold it so hard as a certainty. This makes him a charlatan in my book.

> Web apps on Mac support web push, badging, and all the usual web standards implemented by WebKit, just like web apps on iOS and iPadOS.

Not a lie, but they leave out an important part: To have webpush or badges on iOS you need to "install" the web app - but since iOS PWAs block custom install buttons, the user had to know thst he has to push "Share" and "Add to home screen". To my experience, almost noone knows this or does this.
>I see controllers everywhere. Are those optional?

They are. But Oculus (fuck the Meta Quest name lol) Quest are primarily designed and aimed towards gamers, thus the controllers everywhere.

There are 4 IR cameras in Quest 2 and 10 sensors in Quest Pro to control stuff with just your hands.
Amen on the value of imperfect tutors. I'd say that the best moments of early adolescence come when you dispute something with an adult -- and are able to establish they they're wrong and you're right.

Later on, we have to learn how to do this delicately enough that we don't make enemies. But the journey to adulthood takes a big step forward during those early rushes of realizing that we can see/recognize things that our elders cannot.
From reading/listening to reports of people who were able to demo the device, I think Apple may have nailed it, or come close. Everyone I've seen has absolutely raved about how accurate and intuitive the eye tracking + hand gesture feels.
We overestimate impacts in the short term and underestimate impacts in the long term. It's the part of the hype cycle.

1. Regulatory capture is a relevant worry.

2. We will see a lot of Ad infested disinformation ML around.

This seems to be aggressively conflating strong and weak AI?

Talks about weak AI when describing it:

>AI is a computer program like any other – it runs, takes input, processes, and generates output.

and uses that to dismiss the fears about something completely different (strong AI dangers, a la musk) as being irrational.

Very strange given that Marc is presumably aware of the distinction. Smells of ulterior motive frankly
I guess it depends on how you define "winning". I like your definition and analysis better, but some people...
With that Achille's heel in tiling and the slow and PoC-tier encode and decode performance, I'm amazed AVIF has gotten the adoption that it has. Add in that in lossless mode JPEG-XL is almost always smaller, sometimes by up to 4x, and I'm just not sure how it's even a competition. AVIF has so many compromises baked in that didn't need to be made.
Yeh this was my main thought. However good the hardware is doesn't matter if the software can't fully utilise it. The idea of virtual displays (the most obvious immediate benefit of Vision imo) for MacOS seems like a huge benefit, but for iPadOS its downgraded to pretty cool. I've never felt any particular need to add multiple displays to my iPad, and whilst a big display would be nice, I wouldn't describe it as groundbreaking (especially as others such as XReal are already doing this in a much smaller form factor).
Salesforce is securing a tax deduction for charitable donation whilst guilt tripping staff over return to office, without actually having to renumerate them more for it.

YouTube is horrendous, I keep reporting couple of animal abuse videos but platform just keeps them.

Some of these videos especially with small animals like hamsters have millions of views, so I guess there is a monetary incentive for them to keep such videos.
I routinely watch streamers with double-digit viewers that run ads for the profit sharing so I don't think there's a cut off there.

As for what twitch is buying, they are buying the performance and or content, not dissimilar from Netflix or cable TV. If you follow the money, all the donations and all of their ad Revenue go to Twitch, which then cuts a check. The exception as I understand it is sponsored content ( playing a specific game) or extra in stream ads which is what twitch is trying to Crackdown on. Some streamers have sponsored banners on stream or play videos ads from advertisers that contracted directly with them and not twitch.

The situation is somewhat complicated because streamers have the option to select how many twitch ads they play on their Channel. If they are running their own ads that twitch doesn't get a cut of, then they won't want to run as many ads from twitch
“These academics studied falsehoods spread by Trump. Now the GOP wants answers.”
> Who trains these AI tutors and how do we prevent the system they're embedded in from churning out the same cookie cutter individuals, each with the exact same political beliefs and inability to comprehend the grey and nuanced?

I understand you're trying to dig into some idea of political homogenization and bias by pushing this point but I really think you're missing the forest for the trees.

I grew up in a low income area in the US and the standard of public education was abysmal. The teachers were overworked with huge class sizes and they spent so much time helping kids simply graduate that they had no time to help any student who was average or above. If you learned in a non-standard way, forget about it. Forget "cookie cutter individuals", half the time the teachers would show up and not actually teach (they'd put some music on and work on other things.) "perfect tutors"? In an era before digitized gradebooks, teachers could give you whatever scores they wished, no accountability. One big function of standardized testing is to push teachers to be accountable. Even the teachers that were trying their best just didn't have the time to do any more than the absolute basics.

I studied for SATs and AP exams by downloading textbooks from filesharing websites and studying those. Wikipedia filled in the gaps for non-STEM subjects. Nobody at my school could help me. At the time all the teachers and councilors knew is that I was going to be okay without any help from them, at least better than the other kids. I knew that nobody succeeded where I grew up and I needed to look outside to level myself up to succeed.

I can only see AI tutors as much better than the nothing that often is public education. The status quo is just overworked, ineffective teaching. Being able to bounce off questions from an AI tutor when it's late and you're up with homework and your parents either can't help or are hostile to your educational goals (the reality in a low income area) would go a long way. Of course the reality is that maybe AI tutors aren't actually coming and all we'll get are LLMs trained on the contents of school textbooks, but even that is a lot better than what we have now. The important problem will be making sure that everyone gets access to these AI tutors and not just the privileged in the elite schools who were going to be funneled into an elite college anyway.

Would it be best if we were able to shrink class sizes and have world-class teachers for children? Of course. Are countries going to be willing to pay the tax burden needed to make this happen? Probably not. In the meantime it's best for the poor kids to have the cookie-cutter, AI tutor while the wealthy have their own private tutors. It's not very different from the status quo today except the poor kids have nothing.
I guess my point was that digital avatars are being bundled with AR/VR but they dont have a lot to do with it.
What you are describing happens today without VR, so having these avatars from or to my iPad would be a benefit.

I don't see what the headset brings to the table other than forcing people to fix existing issues.

The experience is worse because the VR now introduces avatars so I can pretend to pay attention whilst doing coding, whereas if it was on my iPad I could do coding, unload the washing machine, etc. It is restrictive.

Also fixing the eye focus is already a thing for streamers and ML video correction.

The only thing aliens love more than the USA is to troll fighter pilots and military bases.

The point of this website isn't to mock software that has bugs - it's to show pitfalls that have been fallen into before, and could be fallen into again. If popular languages have encountered them in the past, and fixed them, why not document it? Helps people in the future. Sure, actual examples of pure unsoundness are more interesting, but creating unsoundness in what should be a sound system is also useful to implementers of these sorts of systems.
The statement cracks me up. Without these exchanges, crypto would still be a small blip on the radar. It would continue to be nothing but a hobby for techies, libertarians, and techie libertarians, forever.

This is indeed straightforward, but I'm not complaining about it. If all of these requirements had been outlined by the SEC prior to the release of the products, Coinbase would've followed the rules. Now when all of these products are in production, the SEC woke up and like: "heeey, this is a security, you must follow the rules". But there were no rules before. So, shall Coinbase just sit there and wait while the SEC learns more about blockchains? I don't know if there was any "warning" from the SEC, but if not, they should've published a public one first: "Due to X, Y and Z, the SEC gives Coinbase 6 months to split the broker-dealer and clearinghouse functions off".
