This happened to me. I set my mid sized porn subreddit to private some time ago. Logged in the next day and got a message: "your account has been suspended for violating the rules."

I say fuck them. I don't get anything out of this subreddit, and they get free labour. Subreddits can't exist without moderators and they know that. The reddit staff are just self-destructive idiots.

If you still want to comment in support of the strike, it is really easy to make another account and not get banned for ban evasion, but remember to never hint that you are evading a ban, because you will be banned for hunting it even if they have no other evidence. If you're gonna delete your reddit account anyway then you're welcome to see whether this is true - comment somewhere (on your normal account) about how you got banned for joining the protest and this is your second account and report back what happens.

If you are evading bans and you want to actually use reddit then make sure to store your account state (e.g. subscribed subreddits) outside of your account so you can transfer it to each new account. And get a GDPR dump of each account, which you can do after it's banned.
Was it trained on code? On my quick glance at the training data it seemed to be a clean-up version of common crawl.
They also went from parents can "track your kids by buying them an iwatch" to "our fundamentals are privacy".
“Does it come in any other colors?”
It's indefinite if plugged in. You'd be in your office or wherever with the device plugged in for productivity use.
Is HN struggling so much due to the Apple event or is there another explanation?
None of them. The only games they mentioned are essentially iOS games in little floating windows.

Beat Saber is the only VR game most people know and Meta owns that so I think they're just ignoring games until some third party developer comes out with something that catches on. I don't think they expect anyone to pay $3,500 strictly for Apple Arcade.
I'm predicting right now that it's going to have performance problems with that display. While they haven't released exact resolution numbers per eye, 23M would give it a slightly higher resolution than the HTC Vive Pro 2, a headset which requires a GPU. While mobile chips have really impressive CPU performance, I don't think they're nearly as competitive in the graphics space.

Knowing Apple, they're also not going to support anything else besides Apple Hardware so you won't be able to hook it up to an actual gaming rig like you can with the Meta Quest 2. While this isn't a big deal for a lot of people, Apple is taking a huge risk releasing a very premium product like this without supporting the largest established VR market (gamers).
>My coworker can also walk in and look at my monitors.

I don't know, to me that seems like a selling point to not have people peer over your shoulder.

Also if I'm out in public maybe privacy for working is helpful, too.

For a family TV experience it's not great, but anything business a oriented 99% of the time privacy is worth more than sharing.
"It's a Saturday night. You, your spouse, and 3 kids each have one of these strapped to their face."

That sound's like a futuristic hellscape to me. I sure I'm not buying 1 never mind 5.

> I still don’t know if all of those statements are true (is it true that PHP programs can’t have long-lived persistent TCP connections? maybe not!)

They can, depending on how the PHP program is coded. PHP even supports non-blocking I/O.
With fairly good support for Apple Silicon, the $4K Mac Studio might be a reasonable choice for a home deep learning rig. 64G of shared memory for the GPUs/neural units, and CPUs sounds good.
I'm sorry, but have you tried the Quest Pro's pass-through?

I have, and it was an awful experience. They had color pass through but faked it and it felt like a grayscale video that someone shoddily tried to paint over it. There was significant warping and text (like a poster on my friend's wall) was barely readable.

It "exists", but was completely useless in terms of usability. If Apple can get pass-through to actually work well, I would call that "new" in the sense that it's a feature that's usable.
I'm not too worried about the battery. Supposedly it's a 2 hr life, and I figure most of the time I'd be sitting down using it anyway. Presumably it'll be USB-C powered, so I could just plug into one of my power banks when it's time to charge, instead of investing in a second Apple battery.
what's the virtual desktop on a plane situation you're describing ?
i thought it needed airlink to a local computer or a really fast internet connection to a remote computer but maybe i'm not up to date

if the vision pro gives me a laptop-mac experience in vr without needing a separate computer with me, that's a pretty compelling use case to me
I use several of these options (cloudron, caprover, easypanel, yunohost) because one of them has an app that the others don't. Umbrel has let me get a Nostr account and relay up and running, for example.
> No. Even if the ergonomics are perfect, the screens aren't good enough for this.

Is > 4k not enough for this? Looks to be almost double the Quest Pro resolution.
This is part of the problem with human text generation. Humans frequently hallucinate things because they're mostly just trying to parrot things they see without really understanding.
This whole product category feels like a solution in search of a problem.
> They've absolutely blown Meta out of the water on their value proposition.

Agreed. But this is because Apple can leverage their existing ecosystem. They’re clearly leaning into that heavily, which is an excellent strategy. Zuck has no existing platform, so they need to reinvent 1p experiences (which feels like talking to Zuck), or rely on 3p devs (that are awkwardly constrained by lack of content and the app-silo model).

> relative to a home entertainment system with a powerful screen + surround sound, it's less ridiculous

This was a lie, and they knew it. A headset can only be used by one person at a time, and I suspect sharing it with others will suck because of the single iCloud account hegemony (this has been a huge problem with iPad already). Home entertainment systems is not targeting overpaid lonely tech workers, it’s for family and friends in the same space. Headsets are 100% isolating yourself from others and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. So this is a solo device for now.

> If you're already the kind of person who takes flights a lot for work, and who would consider upgrading to the latest Macbook Pro, it will be appealing.

I don’t doubt that there are enough tech enthusiasts to saturate demand, but I also don’t think an iOS-like platform is enough, currently, to replace Mac Pro use cases. I think if this was a pro workstation replacer they would have sold that story heavily. Apple has struggled for years to roll out sandboxed apps on macOS but most “pro” apps are still stragglers. But why bother? They make much more $ on the iPhones anyway.
> Imagine if in the early days of Photoshop a law had been passed to require notification that an image was edited. Every image we encounter today would have to contain that warning text.

You say that as some sort of gotcha, but there is a law like this in France - all images used in advertising/public context that were edited should clearly state so. And why not? They're practically lying (false advertisement) otherwise, making the person better looking, the food more appealing/thinner, the "taken by our amazing camera" photos better etc.

Are you really? Outside of everybody sitting on the couch watching a movie together, which will be an extremely marginal use case for this thing anyway—are you seriously going to buy all of (spouse, kids, friends) their own $3500 headset?—shared-reality seems very niche for consumer applications, which are clearly what they're targeting.
Most of the websites I use have been fine, outside of the odd hiccups while browsing HN.

Depends on the GPU performance. An index needs to be powered by a whole desktop GPU.

The running time of the CD-ROM was designed to play Beethoven's 9th symphony in its entirety. You would have thought Apple would plan the battery life to allow you to watch all of Avengers: Endgame, or maybe Oppenheimer, without pausing to swap the battery.

OTOH, 12 milliseconds in the AR mode doesn't sound fast to me. I'm not in this space as other than a past oculus owner, but that is 8 frames of latency at 60hz. I thought that the best devices were much less these days.
They did show a virtual keyboard during the presentation.
The events here are clearly indicative of something unusually important happening.

Your attempts to relativize that with nonsensical "Let's put the cart before the horse and our heads in the sand"-arguments are misleading.
You should probably try it before making this kind of statement.

The perfect version of this tech -could- be what you describe. But so far there are quite a few unknowns about the real experience.
Indeed, but its not like the scenario described has never happened. If anything, the camcorder dad was a very popular trope.
I have not developed a VR/AR game, but I imagine there are several chicken-egg problems making this possible killer app hard to achieve. One is that VR/AR adoption (and usage) is not enough to justify large studios spending huge sums of money developing games that make extensive use of Vr/ar features, at best they’ll take a regular game and port it to VR. Another is that there aren’t very many workers who are experienced at developing VR/AR applications yet, and that the tooling isn’t mature enough (or standardized enough) for this to be easy. But without killer apps there won’t be enough VR/AR users to begin with.

Also the hardware is rapidly developing and creating super flashy applications requires high-specced SKUs that are only supported by a small number of devices in the wild.

Porting 2D desktop applications with a couple VR/AR gimmicks to VR is something that is well scoped and comparatively easy, it also is mostly re-usable because any “render a 2D UI in 3d” tech is going to work in most or all applications. So in terms of getting features and applications to encourage adoption, it has very high ROI.

Also, people probably aren’t just going to strap on a VR headset to look at vacation photos or YouTube videos if the only thing it offers is a super wide field of view and immersive audio. But they will for… other kinds of photos and videos that Apple can’t demo on stage
Chrome is well-known to be a vicious memory hog.

Maybe you should try using Safari? It's not only much better with memory, it doesn't actively punish you for avoiding giving Google direct access to all your browsing...
Good point. I am wondering if they can make the environment immersive enough that you don't notice the weight as much. Sort of like how roller skates are heavy and cumbersome when you're walking around outside the rink, but when you're on the rink you don't notice that because they enable you to move so easily. And yes, I realize how badly I'm dating myself with this analogy.
$3500 and you have to carry a weird battery around. The Oculus is so much better.

All you need to know from the article.
3,500 seems SO worth it if this can be used to comfortably replace external displays for long periods of time.

If I don't need external monitors, I don't need my large desk, and I don't need my home office, which adds like 100k to the price of any home I'd consider. I'd just work from a bedroom, a closet, or my deck if I had this.

It would be amazing if I could use this to do more work outside, while benefitting from a larger screen without glare, even though "outside" might be watered down a bit. It would be excellent for nomading or work/entertainment from a hotel room.

This could be a great way to regain some privacy and focus in an open office environment, plus be able to personalize your setup. A digital beach backdrop is better than seeing my coworker scratch his crusty scalp 2 feet in front of me.

The benefits for air travel are obvious. People already swaddle themselves with large noise cancelling headphones and zany neck pillows. I don't think this would be weird plane at all. I'd kill for an immersive 4k display over craning at my phone or relying on flaky seatback entertainment.
After the Apple Vision announcement today, I was reminded of this short story by Rich Larson. Not so dystopian now
Very weird, but I can definitely see this becoming something you can capture on your phone eventually (and view on your VisionThing). If these take off then I'll bet money that capturing things for AR/VR on your phone will be a priority for Apple
I'm happily using macbook, and would not use it if it required me to use ios or any other device.
All those patents don't help either (in medicine it's more debatable)
No, it comes from the strike. Clean water doesn't come from the EPA, despite it regulating that water should be clean.

Unions have one power in their neutered, current state: collectivism. That's it. It's that simple. Absent the NLRA, unions could still strike (and did, prior to it's passage) as well as any other actions their members were legally allowed to commit that may help. The NLRA is what corporations and unions agreed to stop literal violence and executions around the time of its passage. Frankly I think it fucking sucks and think labor could use a little more wild west, but I'm a firebrand so take that with salt.

(This conversation ultimately boils down to "where do you believe power comes from: liberty granted from government/institutions, or the freedom of the individual to behave as he sees fit in a situation" and hat's a whole other philosophical can of worms)
I know you're going to want me to post the Apple Newton to disagree with, but I'm not that easy to catch!

You can be sued, and will probably lose in court. however that is a risk you are allowed to take. They are allowed to see such products even though nobody should. Eventually regulations will take over, but for now it is just a economic optimization problem: will the monetary loss from killing/injuring someone and losing the law suite be more money that just putting the system on the say - I hope you feel icky just reading that.
One hypothesis is that the moon was basically spat out by a supercritical natural fission reactor inside earth at a time when the earth was still rotating much faster. Basically slinging a part of itself into space to form the moon.

I love that hypothesis.
Progress is always made by those with an optimal amount of ignorance :)
Looking at the demo through the link, the next step here is to translate whatever the dog is thinking into natural language. Would much rather get enriched reality than a 3D theater for my 2D screens. I'm sure that's coming eventually, maybe through an app store.
It's a jump from what we've seen in the consumer space. It isn't priced like other consumer VR hardware though, it's 4-8x the price; much closer to enterprise pricing. If you include the wider space with things like the Varjo XR3 (which released 2 years ago at only 2x the price) then it looks a lot less impressive of a jump. Plus there's things like the Bigscreen Beyond which actually manage a slim form factor. Really the only thing Apple has a chance to differentiate on is software, and they've got a lot of catching up to do there.
I mean I would probably punch that in as

x 2 * 1 + (-) 3 + x %

When I was using my rpn calculator. (-) flips the sign of the number on top of the stack.

Or use flip -. But you can avoid growing the stack long enough to be confusing.
Yeah I suppose it depends on what you do. I work in an environment where I'm constantly collaborating and sharing. People need to see my screens.
They're offering magnetic clip-in prescription lenses to use with the headset. I assume the experience will be pretty good, though obviously it comes with an added price...
Honestly, I don't. There is a lot of talk of the price being unreasonable. Realistically, it's rather reasonable. The problem only comes in when these apps have failed to monetize subscriptions. In some cases, these apps are monetized by ads and therefore directly competing with Reddit for the ad buy. Seriously, I am meant to feel bad that someone who decided to directly compete with a company is now being charged money for the very thing that makes the app viable?

There is a lot of talk of these apps being forced to shutdown due to the overhead of $2.50 a user per month. That is an extremely low overhead so low that a $5 a month subscription solves the entire drama very quickly.

This isn't about Reddit being greedy. This is about Reddit users being too cheap to pay for something they want and used on a daily basis. There are free ways to use the site if you want to use an API that avoids monetizing then it seem fair you pay. This isn't like Twitter where apps charging $20-99 a month had trouble paying. This is apps charging $1.50 to very few users and relying on another company to foot the bill for their freemium model - while directly competing with them.
> There's consistent use of Result and Option in std,

Well, there are dozens[0] of incompatible error types in std, two of them being just called `Error`[1][2].

Everytime you create a function that use more one of the different error types from std (for instance, an I/O error and a TryFrom-related error) you have to create a custom Error enum to accommodate the different kinds of errors from std…

> community agreement to do things that way

And the community agreement is e̶r̶r̶o̶r̶-̶c̶h̶a̶i̶n̶, ̶f̶a̶i̶l̶u̶r̶e̶, ̶ s̶n̶a̶f̶u̶, this_error, unless it's for a binary crate and then it's ̶a̶n̶y̶h̶o̶w̶, ̶e̶y̶r̶e̶, color-eyre.

The error ecosystem is much more fragmented than the async one (even though I think this_error is here to last, so I don't have to migrate once again…). In the async world, there's pretty much tokio (but I think it would actually be better if it interoperated better with other runtimes so alternatives could emerge)

> A lot of it is much harder to read.

Ah yes, fut.await is fundamentally harder to read than res?, right?

Overall, you vastly underestimate the friction that the `Result`-based error handling adds. I still think it's worth it, and it's been slowly getting better (did I say I loved this_error?), but it remained one of the biggest point of friction in Rust over the 8 years (time flies) I've been using it. Async is comparatively less disrupting (mostly because it only appears in the call stacks where you're doing I/O, whereas errors are ubiquitous).

Everyone read that one Vernor Vinge novel and decided to get on the gravy train before Chicago gets nuked. /s

Speaking more seriously: I think you're right in the short-term, wrong in the long-term, but getting at a fundamental truth, which is that *applications* are what will drive development and adoption. And they have to be fully-formed and wedded to the form factor, while still being accessible.

AR/VR will revolutionize general computing, but if you can't figure out how yet - clearly, they have not - the focus should be on the applications that are already well-envisioned (and, in the past few years, as you've said, well-executed) on the platform.

Further, it helps if the killer-app is emotionally engaging, allows and anticipates the failure of the user within the app's internal UX logic, and doesn't interfere with a user's crucial assets or processes (related to work, health, etc.) until the platform's kinks are worked out.

Sounds like games fit the bill quite nicely. It is truly weird that execs taking home eight figures or more can't (or refuse to) wrap their heads around that. Gaming is anathema amongst a certain portion of the population, I suppose.
I have/had OG Vive. It was like, double click the headset button, point and call Lighthouse spinups, put on headset, long press menu buttons on controllers, take a deep sigh for not much reason and I was in VR.
