> But it is also true that democratic party affiliation is higher than republican party affiliation amongst the poorest[0]

That graph defines "low income" as less than $20,000/year, but 75% of the people who make less than $20,000 also make less than $15,000, i.e. less than minimum wage. This implies that it's less people who make low wages and more people who don't have full-time employment. Moreover, one of the largest populations of people who typically don't have full-time employment are... college students.

This is also affected by the age distribution between the parties (older people tend to be Republicans and to make more money than they did when younger). It would be much more interesting to see the graph organized by lifetime earnings at a given age.
I would say the toxins will last a lot longer than the $1 Billion will.

haha, yeah, I do. My bad. It was supposed to read: "with games released on Steam, by a company with a lock down model for selling software."

People will inevitably complain that what you're advocating for involves too much duplication, but I've independently reached the same conclusion that you have. Besides, in a good LP system, the toolchain would be able to consume the second part and transform and emit the first part.

I absolutely agree with you and wish companies cared enough about the quality of their experiences, but it’s not economically required so most companies naturally won’t do it.

The marketing makes it sound like Apple invented all of this, but as usual they have actually just packaged it well. Very unfair to the entire industry that actually got the tech to where it is today. You know people will eat it up as well, and just like the iPhone people will tell us that Apple invented VR/AR all on their lonesome. The iPhone was a great leap though, this headset is not. It is not even current gen tech, the OS is going to be the novel part of it and I look forward to seeing the UX innovations they can pull off. Good product in general, just disingenuous marketing.
Yes, they are going to sell 1 million. In this generation. Next generation will have non pro model. You can sell ten millions of that. It is not going to kill phones, but it will absolutely slaughter laptops. This generation is basically just devkits.

Er. I didn't try to argue everyone buys one. Just that 'most are bought by employers', as though people won't pay for them themselves, is obviously silly .
Birth control is also rooted in eugenics. From 1909:

"The Family and the Nation" by Arnold Gessel is published. In it he expresses the intentions of the The American Birth Control League that:

"society need not wait for perfection of the infant science of eugenics before proceeding upon a course which will prevent renewal of defective protoplasm contaminating the stream of life."

He also advocates for "eugenic violence" in dealing with inferiors. According to him, "We must do as with the feebleminded, organize the extinction of the tribe."

I think it's a shame the application has to implement this at all.

The application should be giving hints, and then the OS deciding what to load and when.
Ah that totally makes sense and seems like it's Apple's way of tacitly acknowledging that people around you can hear the built-in speakers. With the immersion level turned down it seems like the noise cancelling AirPods will be a bigger hurdle to someone getting your attention than the headset itself.

You can actually make an app that will help train vision by making you focus on a closest point and on the furthest point and keeping on switching between those in VR/AR
The purpose of that website is to showcase the achievements of women athletes, not the males who unfairly displaced them in competition. If you look up names and tournaments in your preferred search engine, you will be able to find the additional information you're interested in.

Also, Caster Semenya is male, with a male-only DSD. This is a fact that was confirmed in the IAAF arbitration proceedings. Semenya's higher levels of testosterone, when compared to female athletes, are due to the presence of functional internal testes. Semenya has since fathered children.
That's incredibly thorough. I guess I've not given it sufficient thought before.
What’s the solution though? If not collective bargaining it’s status quo
This was also my thought. My grandparents had a Panasonic VHS camcorder in the 80s. Everyone in the family took turns sharing it. I can see people using Vision Pro in a similar way to film short segments of family events in 3D.

If I remember correctly, weren't most of the original Windows Mobile devices similar to PDAs in that they required a stylus to use them? I joined Microsoft around that time before the iPhone, working in the codec team, so we had several test devices. I just remember how clunky they felt to use. Kind of laggy and the UI was a bit ugly. Windows Phone came out to try to fix that and we got the whole Metro UI thing.
Agreed, and the small max memory is disappointing. However, maybe the thermals of the Pro give it a significant performance edge over the Studio?

P.T. Barnum had a relevant saying.
> the screen pixel densities don't change when you do foveated rendering

That's the limited kind of foveated rendering, yes.

Apple has a system of lenses on a gimbal inside this thing. Which is precisely what's required to do the (so-far hypothetical) "full" kind of foveated rendering — where you bend the light coming in from a regular-grid-of-pixels panel, to "pull in" 90% of the panel's pixels to where your pupil is, while "stretching out" the last 10% to fill your peripheral vision. Which gives you, perceptually, an irregular grid of pixels, where pixels close to the edge of the screen are very large, while pixels in the center of the screen are very small.

The downside to this technique is that, given the mechanical nature of "lenses on a gimbal", they would take a moment to respond to eye-tracking, so you wouldn't be able to immediately resolve full textual detail right away after quickly moving your eyes. Everything would first re-paint just with "virtual" foveated rendering from the eye-tracking update; then gradually re-paint a few hundred more frames in the time it takes the gimbal to get the center of the lens to where your pupil now is.

(Alternately, given that they mentioned that the pixels here are 1/8th the size in each dimension, they could have actually created a panel that is dense with tiny pixels in the center, and then sparse with fatter pixels around the edges. They did mention that the panel is "custom Apple silicon", after all. If they did this, they wouldn't have to move the lens, nor even the panel; they could just use a DLP mirror-array to re-orient the light of the chip to your eye, where the system-of-lenses exists to correct for the spherical aberration due to the reflected rays not coming in parallel to one-another.)

I'm not sure whether Apple have actually done this, mind you. I'm guessing they actually haven't, since if they had, they'd totally have bragged about it.
Then why make that comment on an article about a crypto company in hot water?

That's something I'd wondered about with games that require determinism. Seems fairly challenging to deal with for that sort of game.
I have a hard time imagining either company creating a good ecosystem here.

There will be some stunning experiences on both, absolutely (Disney/Marvel has entered the chat) but they'll be narrow niches. Neither company WI be anywhere near creating a more platform where experiences across systems work well.

Or maybe possibly one can. Apple only added widgets a couple years ago, & they're doing a great job across their platforms with widget like things (stacks on watch). The new iOS always-on Standby mode is starting to really leverage this, in a way Google is nowhere near doing (widgets on Android are so often ill maintained afterthoughts).

Metaverse requires a couple interesting features. Prepackaged monoliths just won't cut it, aren't dynamic enough. The space has to be a host not just to users but to a sea of mini experiences, sharing the space together, that users can seamlessly move across & interwork. Neither company has the genetics here to actually tackle these computing challenges: both are authoritarian in nature & unlikely to plant the right seeds for success.
That’s very surprising to me. The Quest 3 hasn’t even come out yet. Did you mean Quest 2?
I'm not saying that casual gamers don't have the cash, I'm saying that casual games almost by definition won't benefit from an immersive experience. People aren't going to go out and spend $3500 to play Candy Crush in the air. Well, not enough to make this device take off.

The travel point is a legitimate one. This is less a device to look at code, and more a device to look at people and presentations. Practically every Fortune 500 executive will have one of these because they'll be able to immerse themselves while jetting around the world - neither limited to a laptop screen, nor to a cartoon environment where people don't have legs, but in a truly effective war room that interleaves live video conversations, presentations, dashboards/visualizations, and their physical travel companions.

Or, at least, they'll want the ability to brag to their peers that they can do these things! It's the Apple playbook, and it will create a tremendous amount of envy. If it's at a price that's profitable, it can sustainably anchor their reputation even if it never goes mainstream.

Maybe you have really great eyesight, or sit a bit too close? I can't see them. I have used retina displays as well and while it's clear there is a difference, it's not a practical difference for me. Retina feels nicer but it's the same amount of UI and text on a screen.

4k in VR is very different though, it's 4k per eye not 4k in dots per inch. 4k in VR will feel like a massive downgrade if you enjoy high DPI screens, but I think it should be usable. The state of the art is 12k I think and for people who like working in VR I see 8k on the pimax as the most common recommendation for good text rendering.

> It's been 9–10 days here and I'm not sure anyone will read this (I'm surprised HN still lets me reply)

HN gives you 14 days.

(I wish it had a feature to "mark" a comment in lieu of writing a reply then and there. When 12 or 13 days have passed, it'd send you an email reminding you that this is your last chance to add what you have to say to the record. In this way, it would favor people going away and coming back to leave more thoughtful comments instead of impelling them to reply instantaneously i.e. to avoid the risk of not being heard.)

I suppose the hack would be to set your delay in your profile to 60 × 24 × 12.5 = 18000 (minutes), post your reply, then reset it to its initial value. You'd progressively edit your comment as the opportunity comes up, and then it will be autoposted in whatever form its in when the delay elapses. You can only edit posts for up to an hour (or something), though, and I'm not sure whether that timer starts from the time you hit submit or when it appears in the comments (i.e. after the delay has elapsed).
Yes, you are correct in that the ANE does have the equivalent of tensor cores and that I didn’t mention that. I just don’t expect it to be usable beyond inference because the number of compute units will not work for batches in medium/large/huge networks. That’s obviously by design! The ANE silicon size is tiny compared to the GPU area. I wouldn’t be actually surprised if Apple strategically only invests in using their GPU for LLM (1B+ params) work.

Note that if you are currently using CoreML for LLMs all the work is done in the GPU.

That's much more than I expected, to be honest. I guess most people are lurking.
I don’t think soldering is an “evil”. Sockets suck in a hundred different ways, and we only tolerate them for the stuff we need to upgrade or replace. The demand for upgrading / replacing CPUs and memory has been dropping, steadily. I think that socketable CPUs have always been a dodgy proposition, even at the best of times—when I want to replace the CPU, it’s probably got a new socket, or I’m upgrading from DDR3 to DDR4 or something like that. Upgrading RAM is nice but having tons of memory bandwidth is much, much nicer.

I notice that a lot of ancap arguments are based around how immoral it is that the government does X or Y without the consent of the individual, rather than whether it's efficient or leads to better outcomes.

In a society with no cops and only private security you're going to see much worse outcomes - anywhere that is too poor to afford the neighbourhood security is going to be absolutely riddled with crime, and this crime isn't going to stay confined to the poor area either.

Also, a private security company has just as much, if not more, incentive to let crime increase overall as the government does. More crime means they can bill more because they're doing extra work, and they're getting paid directly for more work, not just benefitting indirectly from better equipment etc. The ideal environment for a private police force isn't a peaceful village, it's a lawless hellscape where you pay up or you die.

And without a government who decides what laws the private arbitrators enforce? It would be an absolute nightmare with 10 different arbitration companies that work based on 10 different arbitration codes. What if you disagree with the result of the arbitrator? There's no sole body higher up that decides who's in the right.
That’s about right for a 30 minute news show. The rest is commercials.
Notably there doesn't seem to be any tech present to share virtual spaces at all. All these smiling people staring at their virtual screens couldnt even share their experiences if they wanted to & everyone else had a Vision Pro too. These are personal, pocket spaces.

There was notably no effort to do a MagicLeap either, of playing with existing space. Meta for example shows people enjoying a crazy dungeon crawler board game atop their real table; very primitive but something physically integrated. I didn't see a single example of Apple integrating with space, only taking it over.

"one word antecedents" means that the pronoun can refer to a single word (and only one).

So in "The last-but-one president of the United States met today with his former press secretary." we see "his" refers to [the] "president".

A counter example would be:

"The last-but-one president of the United States and his partner met today with their former press secretary."

In this case "their" could refer to to the president, his partner or the collective of the president and his partner.

What system(s) are you having these problems on? I haven't encountered that type of issue for years, neither on web video on my computer or smartphone, nor on streaming video (VOD and livestreams) on various smart and not-so-smart home devices.

For VOD, your playback system's clock running slightly fast or slow should not be an issue, since all buffers are under its control (it can just send disk loads, HTTP requests etc. at the pace it needs them), and for livestreaming, the most common solutions (HLS and MPEG-DASH, ultimately using MPEG-TS or fragmented MPEG-4 container files) also explicitly specify clock synchronization.

> We should take away your quartz crystals and force you to have only inaccurate timing devices just so you are forced to properly sync everything!

For livestreams, that would ultimately require synchronizing your entire video pipeline to a remote source (i.e. running your video output slightly slow/fast as required) – I'm not sure if devices like set-top boxes or streaming receivers support that, but it seems entirely impossible for anything capable of displaying two video streams (synchronized to different source clocks) at once.

23 million pixels is 6kx4k (or maybe a slightly different aspect ratio, but whatever). That would be a 100 degree horizontal field of view at 60 pixels per degree. That would be a fairly narrow fov, but not unusually so for an HMD. I suspect they'd go for a much wider field though.
