>It's very easy to run a crypto exchange legally

You should start one, you'd have a monopoly! :)

The NICE thing about crypto exchanges is the very high fees they charge (compared to any other financial market). That's why people were so surprised FTX were also committing huge fraud. Why rob your clients illegally at night when you're already "robbing" them legally with fees in the daylight?

As it is, people keep falling back on the SEC "aren't going to give you guidance on how to do <illegal thing>" but that's not what anyone is asking. And it's not even true, the SEC did give Coinbase plenty of advice and their blessing and permission to list publicly, before deciding all crypto is illegal and previous advice doesn't matter...
there is constant transphobia against Asahi contributors on display on this site. Every single article that gets to the frontpage will have dozens of vile posts in the deads and a couple sprinkled inbetween. I’m not sure if HN staff doesn’t care about it, agrees with them or simply isn’t aware.

It’s not limited to the Asahi project, either. The site isn’t safe for queer folks.
Interesting, but only 2 of the 6 experimental females actually mated, so feels barely statistically significant.
That’s not easy from a technical standpoint.

I am half tempted to show students how easy it is to fool the detection. Turn something into a parenthetical, remove red flag phrases, cut out fluff. Or better yet, just use it as a skeleton draft and rewrite it in your own words. Then I would show them how easy it is for me to see through their fudging, which I do by just noting down the similarities between papers and the information inside the GPT response. In some cases there is 100% overlap between the two. They always repeat certain words, too, so I use ripgrep to see who else used them and do cross sectional comparisons. But I also think for now it's a good idea to take the magician's code on that part of the process, at least when communicating with the students directly.

All of this is the kind of detective work that most graduate students are not qualified to perform easily.
Why reach for a book when you can teach me a lesson right here? :)

My point is that these sales tactics happen in any country, regardless if it's developing or not. The difference is in the variety and scale. If businesses aren't allowed by law to do a certain thing in order to increase revenue, they will resort to other scams that the law doesn't explicitly forbid. Or they will lobby to change the laws to whatever suits them best.

The scams in developed countries are much more sophisticated and nefarious, simply because they need to tip toe around the law. In this case Dell messed up by doing this in Australia, but this is surely just the tip of the iceberg of their business practices.
The point isn't that that content doesn't exist there.

The point is that as a Reddit user, you won't see that content unless you disable your NSFW filter and go searching for it.

Because the platform is moderated.
There’s a balance to be had. Show your thing too early and it can die. There’s a reason large companies don’t announce everything the moment it’s planned.
>Skepticism is not doomerism— and in fact should be praised.

Assuming something is going to fail, like many are across Hacker News since the announcement dropped (perhaps not in this thread), is doomerism. There's a difference between that and expressing concern over Apple's claims.

>Their marketing demos looked just as compelling.

I could not disagree more. I could have not been less interested in Oculus nor Google Glass from their advertisements. But an AR experience (as opposed to VR) that integrates with my Mac and iPhone? It has my attention.

>why should we trust companies who’s best interest is not to give us the truth on what their product is but rather the best possible vision for what it will be

Because Apple has delivered high quality products the vast majority of the time (butterfly keyboards and App Store limitations notwithstanding). Why would we assume they're suddenly dropping the ball on this, when they're on stage calling it the future of computing?

> This might certainly be different, but until it’s proven that it is, why should people believe it?

It all comes down to the company producing it - Apple hasn't made a device like this before, and comparing Apple's products to Meta's and Google's is a terrible metric to go by. It's like eating gas station sushi, getting sick, then going to an upscale sushi bar, and saying "Ohhh I've had terrible experience with Sushi in the past"

Even if you aren't willing to give the benefit of the doubt to a company that consistently produces high quality products and building a brand new product line, express that very healthy skepticism by trying it out at an Apple Store before purchasing - at that price tag, I sure am.
I was exclusively using Dvorak on my home and work machines for 8 years, but switched back to QWERTY about 5 years ago. I loved the feel of Dvorak -- subjectively more comfortable -- but minor annoyances added up.

1. I didn't practice QWERTY, so when I used someone else's computer, it was always an exercise in re-jogging my memory

2. Having to use one hand/finger to type (don't ask me why :)) on DVORAK was super slow because I had to map manually each key in my brain because I couldn't rely on the letters on the physical key caps

Ultimately I also wasn't typing that much, even as a programmer, so it didn't make a huge difference for me, but I do miss it sometimes.
Exactly right - it's the specific car, not the consumption of the device (especially since kwh is a unit of capacity not of power)

That’s the point: a small number of IPs accessing many accounts could become suspicious. (But may not be trivial to distinguish from legitimate usage due to NAT.)
I don't know if Apple's "vision" will catch on.

But this article is at the "Old Man Yelling at Clouds" level of analysis.

Many new platforms, form-factors, gadgets, categories of devices , etc. start as "expensive novelty bullshit for rich people". Yet some move past that (and some don't). The author might want to think, for a few seconds at least, about why some do and some don't and whether this one could.

The comparison to Google Glass is particularly lazy. The approach and tech is so different I don't think there's really anything to learn.

Any why even write something like this: "no matter how much they boost it, no normal human being wants to wear goofy-ass goggles so they can attend work meetings in Minecraft."

Hur dur! I think this refers to Meta's clunky/crappy VR meeting software. Apple's approach is obviously different, right? And perhaps Apple will figure out how to make it less clunky and crappy? (Meta may too eventually, but doesn't have that track record). BTW, nobody wants to attend work meetings. Neither VR goggles nor other tech are really the reason.

I guess this is just a long way to say this is a thoughtless throwaway article.

Work backwards quality in Amazon has been degraded to historically low. Now it’s cherry-picking customer pains to fit some narratives for promotion sake or blindly copycat with no core value.
With properly functioning hardware (i.e., that doesn't lie to you when it says "that has been committed to durable storage") then metadata or data corruption following power loss is definitely a bug! It didn't even occur to me that you might get a different response.

I'd be kind of annoyed if I went to the trouble of reporting a bug and got that response. But I'd also not assume it would end that way...

You may also note that Zelenskyy was running and was elected on a ticket to stick to Minsk II and fixing relations with Russia, and this wasn't followed trough (eventually appeasing Azov, instead). The conflict is not just the invasion, rather it's the final escalation after years of built-up towards this. Several millions were already displaced before, fleeing to either side. But, apparently, this conflict served some purpose…

But I really don't want to discuss particulars. We may keep in mind, for there being a conflict, there must be several, incompatible perspectives on the subject in question, there have to be "contested concepts". This question of concepts has to be addressed and to be resolved, and this is a political agenda. The question is really, do we want to address the underlying conflict or just the armed escalation, or just a particular of several steps of escalation? However, it must be made clear, beyond any doubt, that armed conflict doesn't resolve anything.

BTW, a story from my own backyard: Austria and Italy were in a state of conflict over the question of South Tyrol for decades. Even with basic treaties (Gruber–De Gasperi agreement), minority protections and autonomy in place, things were escalating steadily. Austria handed out passports, there were dedicated news segments in public broadcasting on a regular basis, and this eventually escalated in tolerated (or even sponsored) terrorism in the late 1960s, which wasn't especially unwelcome on the Italian side in the name of the "strategy of tensions". This was going nowhere. However, in order for Austria joining the EU, this conflict had to be dissimulated and eventually resolved, and both sides managed to crack down on the structures supporting the conflict. And, voila, nowadays, this isn't even a topic. In hindsight, it's just a ridiculous episode. The younger generation probably isn't even aware of this having been a thing.
>Are you saying they were trying to keep the West Germans in check after WW2?

Absolutely, they also had to do various clean up tasks. Executions, Trials, political policing, etc. I don't think there is any kind of reasonable debate that stationing troops in Germany wasn't for the interest of the US in West Germany.

Of course equally true is that as relationships between the former Allies deteriorated Germany became the frontline of that conflict and the focus shifted. The remilitarized German Armies on both sides became quite important as they both would be the first line of defense against any aggressor.

What is the Assange treatment?
I can confirm, we use Temporal and used Tray.io for a bit. They're not operating at the same level at all, Tray/Zapier kind of drag and drop wire things together can be great to solve some quick pain points, but I would not build a product on top. Temporal has been great, it's also allowed us to significantly simplify our infra around workflows and made it a lot easier to understand what's going on, especially when things go wrong.
Think the point is that they have a base of accounts on "established" e-mail providers vs some one-off domains.

In slight defense of this, Russia was not Snowden's chosen destination. I believe his intent was to travel to Ecuador for asylum. As no direct flight to South America was available, he tried to travel through Moscow on account of no extradition, thinking it would be the safest layover. Things fell apart before the connecting flight, leaving him stuck there.

However I do agree that becoming stuck in an abusive state certainly raises questions over allegiances, and to maintain full credibility, whistleblowers certainly need to avoid the appearance of defection or the apparent hypocrisy of gaining protection from even worse governments.

Any future whistleblowers highly sought-after by USGOV will certainly taken note of this.
I'm rather glad that journalists don't take that into account. Comparing MSRPs is fair. Perhaps it provides some pressure discouraging companies from engaging in that sort of shenanigans.

I recently had a conversation with someone who works IT for the Air Force. Apparently, it is now the OpSec position that Snowden's story of how he got the data is mostly a lie and he was almost certainly acting as a Russian asset.
I think you're confused (or I'm mistakenly confident).

@available is, indeed, when something was actually introduced. As you put it, "available to use starting with this version."

@backDeployed is for when something could've worked on an earlier version, if you just copied and pasted the function body. So something that has relatively straightforward logic, doesn't change the layout of or introduce new structs, etc.

Then when you build the project, the compiler can figure out if it can just use the library's version of the function (target >= @available) or if it needs to copy over the definition itself (@backDeployed <= target < @available). But from your perspective as a consumer of the function, you can act like it's been present since the version indicated in @backDeployed.
You'd think that governments would have some stake in providing infrastructure specifically for this. Underground magnets and radios along important roadways...that kind of thing.

What I'm getting at is, there's no reason to assume that the current amount of information presented on a roadway (stripes, lights, stopsigns, etc.) is sufficient for autonomous driving. Or maybe it is, but adding a few more inexpensive things would make it that much easier to achieve.

Agreed. "There's no obvious market for X" could also mean "all versions of X have sucked so far".

It's nice to have a meta-analysis. I would usually prefer the meta-analysis for an effect size estimate.

But I also generally live by the saying "you never see a clear picture of Bigfoot". If a phenomenon of serious interest is to be considered proven, there should be at least one conclusive high-quality study alongside any meta-analyses.

As with many supposed dilemmas, it's nice to have both.
Sorry to hear, that the first experience was not as imagined.
You are correct that the event system is currently only consisting of internal events. With the next batch of integrations coming in the next couple of weeks we plan to also incorporate the events of these third party applications. This will enable users to build workflows around events being triggered when i.e. a stripe, airtable or google docs event occurs. For now this would need to be implemented via webhooks and API routes.
We are also already experimenting with additional events emitted by our system so that the user can build logic that reacts to data changes in the database or routes being called.
Fair points — I guess my main point is at their core they served known, simple functions and people knew what they did. There had been music players and phones in mainstream use for decades.

The correlate here I suppose is “watching things” or “using computers” but the function together with the price point so far feels to me more like PARC than Apple.

The main one I've read is Joe Buff's Deep Sound Channel series, found it after a recommendation from someone else on HN even so glad to continue the chain. Fell off it a bit in book 4 but that might have been me burning out on them, I ripped through the first 3 and focused too hard on them.
The way words are used gives them their meaning. If "bro" is used differently than "brother" in certain contexts, then they have different meanings in those contexts.

In my experience, it does have different meanings.

One usage makes me think of: "friend", "close friend", "homie", "my guy", "dude", "someone I trust", etc.

Another usage is: "immature", "douchey", "fake", "asshole", etc
Another comparison could be, this is more power than some WW2 era air-to-air radar systems, which could see multiple miles (and signal processing has only gotten better since then).

> The smarter problem would be changing the controls/UX for cars to be more like a hoverboard or balance/attention and gesture based than twisting a wheel around, abstracting that to remote telemetry, and then work on using ML to replacing that remote driver.

Go ahead and do it then. Show them how it is done. :)

> Self driving cars is the perfect example of sprawling corporate groupthink, where someone has a poorly formed idea and everyone aligns around managing a response to it instead of asking whether it's the right problem to solve.

Or maybe people thought about the problem for more than hot second and come to a different conclusion than you do.

Your comment makes it clear that you are thinking about the joy of driving. You are talking about motorbikes, and UX, and being one with the car. I'm happy for you for that, and I hope you will find a lot of joy doing that. That on the other hand is not the problem self-driving cars are out to change.

Every single thing in a modern world have traveled a ton. Transportation of raw materials, transportation of parts, transportation of the finished product. Then on top of that people can't make up their mind if they want to be in A or in B and seems to change location all the time. This is economically significant. Driving for joy, is a cool hobby, but is a tiny sliver of the whole economy.

People and companies working on self driving cars believe that the time has come when we have enough compute that we can automate the act of driving and be at least as safe as vehicle driven by a human. If they are right, and these autonomous systems can be cheaper than human drivers then those who can make such machines can capture a portion of all the wages of every activity served by a commercial driver today.

> mediated service where driving is reduced to a transaction.

Do you think CEO of Walmart cares about the user experience of driving when they hire a small army to drive supply trucks to supply their stores? It is already reduced to a transaction. Uber is extremely successful. Do you think people care about a car becoming an extension of their body when they hail one?

Currently people who drive because they enjoy it, and people who drive because they have to are all jumbled into one mass. If we have commercially viable self driving systems you will see who is driving for the joy of it, and who is driving to get stuff or themselves from A to B. I suspect we will see that it will become just an other hobby. Like going skiing or horse riding. Many will enjoy it, there will be probably a whole cottage industry catering to those who would like to "become one with the machine" and etc.
The outliers consistently write better prose but they never include nearly as much distinct points of information within their responses. They also have way less fluff. They include personal anecdotes. That professor probably didn't have enough materials of hers to work with.

As for checking hallucinations I definitely do not have the time to go that deep on 75 submissions a week. If that could be automated it'd be helpful. The students are correct that I can afford to spend only about 5 minutes per essay on grading (they're short, 200-250 words).

The point is that most games would probably need a special VR controller (not a normal one!), unless they can be played point&click style. But Apple won't include them, so the respective games won't be made in the first place. There aren't even smartphone games which require external controllers, despite the install base of smartphones being orders of magnitude higher than what the sales numbers for the Vision Pro headset will be.

Moreover, making elaborate games like civilization wouldn't be economically feasible even if they could be appropriately controlled by default. The price for the headset is so high that not many people will buy it. Then elaborate games can't sell enough copies in order to be profitable. For example, it seems unlikely that even a success like Half Life Alyx made its development cost back. The hardware install base is too small.
It’s worth noting that Snowden never intentionally fled to Russia and the US revoked his passport when passing through to another destination, if I recall somewhere in South America. Fast-forward about a decade and a man who is stateless is granted a passport in the country he was de facto exiled to.
