I have to agree with GP, I am part of several subreddits where the moderators clearly enjoy being kings of their precious little fiefdom. Some of these folks are downright fascists, and the only way to fix it is to start a new subreddit or try appeal to reddit staff

Maybe the burden of moderation makes them this way, I don't know. But reddit is worse off with them.
> But the solution is not pretending it is not there and hoping they won't become absolutely fascinated at the magic age of 14.

In fact, 14, sort of the peak of puberty, strikes me as one of the WORST possible ages to first expose one's children to the Internet. Either let them practice earlier at the shallow end of the Internet pool, or lock them up until they are at Rumspringa age.

"14" also sounds suspiciously like something cooked up in an Anthroposophic thought bubble. Rudolf Steiner was a big believer in 7 year developmental cycles, so "14" is self evidently the correct age to make a deal with Ahriman, if one must. The team running the pledge does not mention any connection to Anthroposophy, but Waldorf schools seem to be endorsing the pledge.
It would be unusual that they use reporting date vs date of death. The date of death is pretty normally distributed [0]. So while the reporting date probably piles up on Mondays, that’s not very useful for studying.

The “Facebook Platform” days of FarmVille were the closest they came to building something resembling a platform. Unfortunately for them they optimized against their own long-term interests in exchange for quarterly ad revenue. And they spent it all on chasing Zuckerberg pipe dreams.
Reddit is built on free mod labour. I remember seeing a relationship advice thread from a woman who was concerned her partner thought being a reddit mod equated to having a second job. https://teddit.net/r/TrueOffMyChest/comments/r2w9qb/my_husba...

JPEG XL is a file format for large raster images that provides a better compression ratio and higher quality than JPEG.

Google owns the license to another proprietary image format for large raster images (WEBP).

Google used to support JPEG XL in chromium, but dropped support for it. Many people believe this is specifically to manipulate a market advantage for WEBP.
Seems like most of the use cases he's raving about are novelty VR experiences (e.g. immersive experiences watching sports), and the benefit of the AR is simply you can exit/browse these experiences without feeling like you're inside a VR void. I guess it would be nice to have infinite monitors when I'm doing work for productivity purposes if its seemless but I don't see the killer general use case yet for AR.
I found it odd that they started out with Pro. I think “Apple Vision” would have sufficed. Leaves room for the future to add “Pro” when they go to 8K/Retina or whatever. Plus just saying “Apple Vision” is kinda nice.
Huh? This is the same engine no? Is Edge implementing it even though Blink isn't?
I remember Kevin Rose talking about the impending V4 and being struck by how obsessed he was with Digg doing every popular web trend at the time. He was particularly focused on everything Facebook did to the point where Digg aesthetically started to even look like Facebook. It seemed like Digg had all but abandoned what made it great in pursuit of copying others. Maybe this was VC pressure, who knows.
We can easily scrap the internet. There should be a statistic about it.

But for companies they should have two formats anyway: the original file and the optimized file.

Changing the optimized file should be an existing batch process

> Filesystem performance used to be better than Docker Desktop, but they seem about on par w/ one another now.

They made an update that claims performance is comparable.

I tested realistic workloads last week and docker desktop was still meaningfully worse.

If your work computer has antivirus, the performance of docker desktop will be even worse if exceptions aren't or can't be added.
I am fairly cautious about tech in my own life but this still seems like an extreme Black Mirror episode take. The battery doesn’t even last long enough to have you never leave your house. It seems like something I might use two hours of my day maybe. I’m not sure how that makes it worse than any other media device or what it is about it that has people thinking they’ll never leave home again and feel completely socially isolated. I’m just considering the case of using it at home though and not walking around with it expecting people to interact with me normally.
100%. I thought the same thing with my Apple Watch and I resisted spending what I considered to be an unreasonable amount on earbuds as I didn’t care (or so I thought) about having wireless earbuds. But eventually so many colleagues had them and talked to me about how great they were that I caved and bought a pair. Wow was I wrong about how wireless earbuds was something I didn’t need. Then I started evangelizing to people about them, and the cycle continued.

Anchoring can also be used in other applications than just raising API costs - GP should revisit how they unequivocally declare their statements.
This contradicts some data released by 'The Cure'. Tuesday and Wednesday look much more risky.

However 'The Boomtown Rats' seem to agree with the study.
>To scientifically test this...

I swear, you people turn science into a religious ritual.

First-hand observation (which we have here) is the gold standard for knowledge-derivation. Science is just a method for ensuring that our models hew close to that.

What you assert here is mere convention.
But if it's "extremely lightweight", where would you put the battery to power a high bandwidth transmitter/receiver? I can't imagine anything approaching the size of a pair of Wayfarers having space for the battery or electronics (not to mention all the optics and sensors!)
for those who jump straight to the comments (like me), this is a python for managing unstructured vectors/embeddings in Postgres using pgvector. It works with any Postgres/pgvector database

The core of the API is this:

import vecs

DB_CONNECTION = "postgresql://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<db_name>"

# create vector store client
vx = vecs.create_client(DB_CONNECTION)

# create a collection of vectors with 3 dimensions
docs = vx.create_collection(name="docs", dimension=3)

# Add embeddings
docs.upsert(vectors=[("vec0", [0.1, 0.2, 0.3], {"year": 1973})])

# Query embeddings
docs.query(query_vector=[0.10,0.21,0.29], limit=1)

This stores all the data in a new `vecs` schema in your database. It took me a while to grasp the nature of structured (eg, manage tables/data with migrations) with unstructured/nosql, but the use cases for vectors are very often geared towards data scientists/engineers. There is some more info about the interop between these approaches here: https://supabase.com/docs/guides/ai/structured-unstructured

I'm convinced that they want to get rid of power users.

My guess is that Reddit Inc.'s vision for Reddit is similar to TikTok. 99% of people mindlessly consuming, with surface-level, vapid comments but no deep discussion.
The issue with LATAM is corruption, intertwined with mediocrity. This won't ever change.

There's talent, sure, but you could just hire it out and keep your business based in a sane jurisdiction.

I like the Marques Brownlee takes, he's one of the "30 minutes hands on" guys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFvXuyITwBI

Dude, I made that comment in response to your "My coworker lost $X0,000 over Celsius" to highlight the fact that not everyone's circle is losing money.

> Coinbase is doing the same thing as Celsius, Voyager, and FTX with their Earn / Staking products. And now the SEC is suing them over it.

Why can't SEC work with Coinbase before suing them? Again, Coinbase has been seeking help from SEC for years. Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase, talked about this so many times. They are trying to work with the regulators, but the problem is that the regulators lack expertise dealing with these new asset types.
That's not true for Macs. Apple allowed and worked with MS to allow windows to work on Intel macs. That's pretty insane from allowing people to do what they want with their hardware.
The protests block access to subreddits, which stops traffic, which means they lose out on money.
A video I saw of people hosing down piled bags of quikcrete (bagged concrete mix) really interested me. I calculated it would cost less than $1000 for a 10ft long, 8ft high wall.

Just lay down the bags, stick some rebar through them as you go, than hose them down and you got a solid wall a single man could build little by little.
I was confused by this too. The photography term seemed so out of place to me that I assumed this was some new other meaning of DSLR, like deep spherical latent representation or something. but Ctrl+F didn't find anything.

AVIF is more compute intensive than HEVC.
Coincidentally, I've been going through Digg's history including v4 and their early history, because it's nostalgic for me.

What people don't realize is Digg actually had four founders, depending on how you count them. Owen Byrne[0] has as his bio "The person who built digg for $1000 @ $10/hour, lol". Going by that, I don't think he shared in any equity.

The whole site was bootstrapped for apparently $6000 total.

People also think Digg turned down Google's $200 million offer, but it was the other way around. Google walked away after some due diligence.

Knowing all this, Digg's fall seems kind of inevitable. That said Reddit never really filled that hole IMO.

So... what's the killer app for this thing? Best I can tell it's a status symbol for a particular type of computer nerd.

But blather about the Apple "Vision" has replaced blather about GPT based chatbots on HN, so I am thankful for that.

But I am not being facetious when I say that I don't see any application for the technology that justifies the $3500 price tag. But I'm more than willing to be educated.

Is BMW going to use it to train assembly line workers?

Is it going to be used to assist people living in memory care by recognizing faces of people in their field of view and displaying identity annotations?

Are construction workers supposed to wear it so they can view 3D plans overlaid on top of actual construction? Maybe it's cameras can create a 3d model of existing construction to beam back to the site architect to get input about how to proceed?

These all seem plausible, but none of them are consumer apps. Is Apple now not selling direct to consumers? I just don't get the business around these things.
I think you hit it on the head. Investors want predictability and stability. The history of expropriation or defaulting will not inspire investment. You can't have governments with a caudillow attitude and people who support that attitude.

Maybe one option is for a regional system where there is more incentive to not renege on deals and agreements when things don't go their way. Also if it's regional there is less likelihood of claiming imperialism --but who knows, they have their own rivalries.

This is basically a variant of the Wankel engine, and if you do a cursory view of the Wankel engine wikipeida page it paints a pretty clear picture of a theoretically better engine that ends up not performing as well as standard engines due to a 1000 little things like the seals, ignition and chamber shape that have been perfected over the century + of normal engine designs. This engine is going to have all those problems and more preventing it from being as good as a regular engine in practice.
I wouldn’t expect most appliances to be in this price. And things like hvac and water heater should definitely be much cheaper in a 500sqft tiny house than a 2000 square foot fixed house.
> Google can never make a good piece of software, though they can have very strong backend engineering for it, and so on.

I think it’s more accurate to say that Google struggles to make application layer software. Most of their successful products like search, YouTube, Maps and Gmail are successful because of infrastructure/data layer advantages despite unexceptional UX/FE.

Chrome is a notable exception.

> I wonder if the culture is set and can never be changed though. Is it an immutable property of companies based on initialization?

I suspect there’s a feedback loop where the people who drove the initial product success end up running the organisation and their priorities dominate.

I’d love to read a study that investigated this by looking at how org charts on LinkedIn evolve over time.
Better compression, similar to AVIF, with even more features.
As long as you can go back and forth between the too, both are relevant.

US Marines are trained to make their bed with military speed and precision as the first thing they do each morning. If one can't do that little thing how can one accomplish everything else with military speed and precision for the rest of the day?
> Why not just buy a Linux laptop and have everything work out of the box? Why are Linux enthusiasts putting so much effort into supporting hardware from companies that - at best - ignore Linux?

Almost all laptops sold with Linux pre-installed or with support advertized only work well with Linux due to volunteer work similar to what is being done with Apple's stuff right now. Almost everything is proprietary with close to zero upstream support, you just don't notice it because the work has already been done.
Your "array of huge monitors" is, I assume, not in any reasonable sense as portable as a laptop or a headset and BT keyboard. You're talking in circles.
>My fear is that if I were to go this route and purchase the hardware I'd be seeing fraction of the performance and capability I would in Mac OS.

The performance is there, it has been running stuff much faster than the vast majority of Intel/AMD laptops for over a year.

Regarding the capabilities not sure which one you miss. Do you plan to use it for development, or you want some kind of gaming/multimedia setup?

>To be honest this blog post seems like the project has a long ways to go, not that it is nearly completion.

It's the other way around. It has been usable as a daily driver for ages.

>I just can't justify buying hardware from a company that is so hostile to developers and hackers as nice as it may be.

Then don't?
why not just have the drones always flying around instead of only as a responder?

In large American cities, this has been the case for decades. Except with helicopters instead of drones.

In the 90's, Houston had two helicopters on patrol 24/7 (one HPD, one HCSO).
What a lonely isolated future to look forward to. It feels like the scene in Minority Report where he is watching a video of his lost son alone. Wish technology had a way to connect us more to reality instead of further removing us from it.

You seem to be describing the thing that most companies still are doing (at least a little bit), where the same team does apps for each platform. And sure, that's dumb and hard — polyglot programmers are hard to hire, it's hard to context switch, etc.

But what I'm describing is different: in the old "porting" approach, rather than having "a mobile team" that is expected to know both iOS and Android, you would instead have an iOS team full of people hired specifically for their iOS expertise, that just do your iOS app, and who are not expected to know anything about Android; and vice-versa for an Android team. Your iOS team would be as distinct from your Android team as current mobile teams are from web-app teams (in companies whose native apps aren't just wrapped web-apps.)

I know this isn't too relevant for SMBs who can't afford to hire O(N) entire teams just to launch an app on O(N) platforms.

But the "let's share one codebase to every platform" efforts are almost always driven by corporations so large and so profitable that they can definitely afford O(N) teams of per-platform deep experts. Why is "the Facebook mobile app" a single shared codebase for every mobile platform? Why is "the Google Maps mobile app"? Slack and/or Discord (who used to be SMBs, but at this point could totally afford this)? Etc. These are all apps that would highly benefit from tight integration with each targeted platform.

It almost seems like the smaller companies are the ones who more often have the "taste" to do the right thing here; while bigcorps — that can actually afford to do the right thing — are constitutionally incompatible with this idea somehow.
No offense but that's not even contextually the same thing so I'm not really sure what you're trying to say.
> Hardware being hard to repair, access, upgrade, etc. I think at one point they were making it virtually impossible to replace components because they were serial locked

You can only have so many flexibility in design with modern hardware — they are not fitting things into 5 cm “thin” chassics anymore. How exactly are such a thin device be repairable? Similarly to how old car motors could be tweaked with, you need special tools to touch anything in a modern engine. This is not against the customers, these are trade offs.

But even this way, apple devices have by far the longest lifetimes, macs, iphones will have 2-3 owners easily - so is it really fair to call them out, or is it just baseless emotional reaction?

Also, what you heard about locked down components resulted in better security, a much lower risk of theft, and a much more clean second-hand market (where you won’t be sold a phone with a cheap chinese shittier screen for example).
Docker desktop has arm64 builds.
Yes. I grew up on a farm nothing but agriculture. My parents taught us to take shows off in the laundry room before coming into the house. Dad was very adamant about this because he stated to us children “ There’s no telling where you walked so make sure to take your shoes off. Don’t walk in other people’s homes with your shoes on. It’s not polite because your shoes aren’t the cleanest thing you wear.” I’m glad I learned this from my parents and I’ve taught my sons this as well.

Through my business, I own a fully-specced 16" MacBook Pro. But I also personally own an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) for design work. The same one that has, for the time being, been replaced by the Mac Studio and Mac Studio Display.

I can run up to macOS Monterey officially on this thing, but I haven't purchased new hardware to replace it, because it's such a bad deal compared to my still functioning studio-non-"Studio" hardware.

I wonder how many of us are waiting for a new 27" 5k iMac?
Yea, the "cash negative" part doesn't ring true to me.

The thing about rural police departments is: Comparatively little crime happens out in the boonies (at least not the kind of crime that police like to respond to), yet they are full of cops, since these areas tend to be run by tough-on-crime voters. There are probably small towns / small counties in America where the police are >50% of the region's budget. To the point where they're buying (or are gifted) MRAPs and other military surplus gear. So they're over-funded, over-staffed, but without much to do. Kind of a deadly combination for citizens.

When that typical "OMG suspicious-looking black man in my neighborhood" complaint comes in, I'd much rather have a drone sent out to investigate than 10 bored, armed-to-the-teeth officers looking for some excitement.
That's essentially how DNA sequencing works. The longest human chromosome (chr1) has about 250M bases. The DNA samples are sonicated to split them into small sequences, and then sequenced en mass 100-300bps at a time. The results are then reassembled into contigs.

Why, though? A name is just a name, and that also holds for weekdays.
Well, no, they didn't. I understand the idea behind M1/2Ultra. However, it's not exactly the same. Can they put 4 of these dice? And 8? Currently it maxes out at 24 cores per machine, in a rack mounted chassis.
That is nothing near what I can get with EPYC based servers. And there I can have multiple processors in a machine.
I agree. Netflix is pretty good with this and their “kids” profile is actually pretty acceptable and I’ve never seen anything crazy in it. They also allow removal of specific shows (eg, 13 Reasons Why) and are pretty kid friendly.
