Discord isn’t great for slower paced and long form discussion so I never was able to really catch on to using it.
I'm using Runpod and Datacrunch regulary and they seem to always have some available.
Horrid dev experience.
It's not claiming that there's a net advantage.
There are, regardless of regulation, from aerspace over drugs to finance, tonsbof law firms, counsultants and experts out there explaining the rules and how to follow them.

The problem is that a whole generation of wannabe start-up bros, starting with Uber the latest, just cannot be bother with learning and respecting rules it seems. Most of those flog to crypto lately.
I understand that I have a pretty large bias in the opposite direction that Mr. Thompson claims. That is, I think VR is stupid and I don't understand the use case for it, at least in the incarnations we've seen so far. I also remember the failed Google Glass, and think, "If people wouldn't wear that comparatively less-cumbersome and less-stupid-looking thing, why the hell would they wear this one?".

So my immediate reaction was also to mistrust the motives of the author. However, I can recognize this bias in myself and be OK with being wrong. My track record is not exactly pristine, after all. I felt pretty much the same way about the iPad.
More than 4k actually if you square 23m pixels is 4795x4795
It's not about an objective level of means, but more about one's relative standing and its security.

Take a modern young couple in a place like NYC. Having to work incredibly hard in an uncertain job - both of them - never too far from being unable to pay rent (or mortgage, although that now tends to come later in life). Meanwhile bombarded by ads of all kinds (and people they see around, both in real life and online) to have consumption of a certain level just to maintain the status quo of their social standing.

Add to that a complete lack of positive vision for the 'developed' world but plenty of negative ones. A complete lack of any sort of utopian thinking. Including the fact that whoever does end up having children will end up with those children later having to support all the pensioners.

---------

So in a way, the poor are more secure in their poverty than the young people in the middle, and therefore they procreate. So do the more wealthy that are secure in their wealth.
Deadly heart attacks are more common on a Monday
I'm curious if anyone will be able to develop in it (i.e. write code with virtual desktops etc)

I'm also curious about how which unexpected consequences people will experience with such devices (nausea, etc... other unknown illnesses cropping up)
The regulars, including Don Lancaster, were great. I would drool over so many articles that I barely understood, and one of my goals for the next month were to get caught-up on some part of this tech that had escaped me.

Computer Shopper was fantastic for guiding me to complement my more formal studies.

OT: Does anyone else still use 6502/65c816's and TMS32C32's?
I don't mean projecting the outside world inside the headset so the user can see "through" it, that's a standard feature even on cheap headsets. I mean the display on the front of the Vision Pro which shows the users eyes "through" the headset so other people can see them, which is an awful lot of hardware to dedicate to a feature many users don't need.
By-and-;arge Germans don't own their own homes. The median age in Germany is about 45, but less than half (~49%) own their own homes. That compares to about 65% in both the UK and US, both younger than Germany.
Conversely the C parts of the POSIX standard is supposed to be a conforming extension to ISO C. POSIX even spells this out.

Whats the difference between your behavior and theirs? You're both trying to influence other people's behaviors with words. How you seek to claim the moral high ground does not seem like an important discriminator.
> Giving a compliment sandwich might make the giver feel good, but it doesn’t help the receiver.

If cliche passive aggressive attempted manipulation of someone else makes you feel good, I for one don't want to hear from you.

That aside, my experience is that when you're direct and honest most people use that against you as a shield. Instead of responding to what you said they deflect and take issue with how you said it. Immediately the conversation goes off topic. That what gets shoved into a corner and you lose because of the how.

Damned if you do. Damned if you don't.

The fact is, most people would prefer to be coddled. Most teams are based on group thinking, not truth seeking.

Kindness that compromises honesty and truth is no kindness at all. Yet that's the expected social norm, at least in most of the US.

It's exhausting working with so many disingenuous people.

>It will most likely flop because it has no reliable input.

This reads like the critiques just after the iPhone was announced that it will flop because it didn’t have a physical keyboard…
This is a really good in depth review, the fact that the vision is recreating everything digitally is really amazing and creepy at the same time. I am in awe of the technology, but the last part of this article also highlights what will certainly be a one of its major drawback and weaknesses, how isolating it is (which previous VR headset also suffer from).

While the AR aspect of it helps somewhat, I did note also during the presentation the ridiculous clip with the father wearing the headset at his child's birthday party, and especially how all the examples uses except in a professional setting were for individual lonely users. Both exciting and terrifying at the same time.
So since there are serial killers it's OK for me to stab you as long as I stop there, right?
I don't get what the issue is?
> you can stare at the mailbox all day but you probably don't want to

Yet, it's up to me to decide, not to the mailbox.
It's interesting that Magic Leap took $3.5 billion in investment, and had a very similar vision and almost identical demos. But they failed to deliver.

I wander what the R and D cost for the Vision Pro is, 10x Magic Leaps investment, $35 billion over last 5 years? Seems plausible...

Their total R&D expense is about €100B in same time period.
Counterpoint, there's always been a desire to have a virtual environment as first shown in 80's sci-fi films like Hackers, Johnny Mnemonic, etc; immerse yourself in a system, have it become like a natural extension of yourself.

There was someone on here some time ago who showed and talked about his setup, he had been doing his job as a software developer reclined in VR for years at that point.

Here's the thing though: smartphones didn't have "a" killer app per sè I don't think, but they became part of everyone's daily lives in a really short timeframe. PCs and laptops didn't have "a" killer app, but pretty much everyone here has it as their day job.

I don't think it's about whether it has a killer app or not, I think it's whether it can become normalized and mainstream, and be listed alongside the TV, PC, smartphone, the car, etc; something everyone will have in one way or another.

That said, I'm cynical myself; modern-day VR and AR has been tried for a decade now or thereabouts; Google wasted billions on Google Glass, Facebook bet their whole company on the metaverse / AR / VR and has had to backtrack, Magic Leap was a mystery company that raised billions and failed to deliver, Oculus and Vive have their place now as a somewhat niche and pricey gaming implement - popular as arcade / events (I went to one for a birthday party this weekend) and middle class households that have the money and space for it.

So there's a market, mostly in gaming, but it's not become as mainstream yet as e.g. the smartphone. I don't personally believe it will, but if anyone can take an existing concept, iterate on it and make it mainstream, it's Apple.
I think YT is on the crystal meth side actually. Strangely perhaps I find Netflix more appropriate for my kids. I just let them watch a specific episode and there are no ads and the content is adequate. There is at least some moderation.

Edit: I think you are on to something with “ads”. Hate them with a passion. Those especially I regard as pure heroin being intravenously injected.
If I won lottery today I'd have enough hobbies and interests to fill a lifetime.

There is so many interesting things to do (let alone watch) to last multiple lifetimes.

> How can one stand decades of stagnation without the desire to escape?

I guess by not being totally unimaginative and boring ? There is no nice way to say it.
> The real usecase is porn, but they're too tactful to say it.

I don't know why people keep projecting their own desires onto others, lol.
“Pro” just means there’s a cheaper one in the pipeline. I’d wait.
The fact that "the author" is Ben Thompson is worth something.

4K per eye could simply be a magical tech thanks which enables immersion, and we're in the midst of passing that milestone now, in 2023.
I thought you needed to publish amazing discoveries to get in. We have a million articles about prompting already.
Almost all the furniture in my house we got for free—and it's not bad furniture, either! We just benefit from people who spend enough on regularly replacing their furniture that a $3500 device looks like an improvement.

As for Christmas lights, they run $10/25ft. The cost on these goggles would have to come down a lot for a family that can't afford lights to be able to afford a pair of these for every family member (because you can't have the 4yo excluded from the Christmas lights).
that’s somewhat the missed point. there won’t be one killer app.

less about the new thing, more about all the new ways to use things that you already know.

so, yes, for some it will be useful as a means of sensory augmentation or correction. headphones with noise cancellation are a glimpse. transparency mode? tweak the equalizer a little? amplify voices? but these were for music and maybe zoom calls, now you have superhero ears.

this is that, but more.
I feel like the statement only holds true if you are trying to learn about shared reality.

Perception Isn't false, it's subjective. It's real in its own domain, but that domain may not generalize or overlap with a shared physical reality or perceptions made by other people.
They didn’t show any virtual keyboard I think.
Really fantastic advice. The only corollary that I'll over-emphasize to those reading: do not rely on ChatGPT and learn to work with the APIs directly -- or tools built explicitly for your purpose.

I've also been working with the APIs directly for about that time and I only get more depressed daily reading the horrible takes about GPT's problems based only off of ChatGPT (and hearing about how even many companies try to use the product). GPT has forever changed how I interact with computers.
I wonder how Gary Tan feels about this. If this is true, which I think it is, then would Gary change his stance on Coinbase?
Trains don't actually need signals anymore, there are a few fully automated rails in the world, the computer drivers the train. Most trains still have a human in control, but there is less and less for that human to do (as DoubleGlazing says, that is still a lot, he knows more than me so be sure to read what he said). However it is tricky to switch from human driven to computer driving trains as you need more signaling and it has to be perfect as humans can make judgement calls when something you didn't expect happens.

Unlike cars, trains are a lot easier to automate as you can ignore a lot of the failure modes autonomous cars have to deal with. Also, the signaling system knows where everything on the track is anyway, so you don't need to worry about vision systems to detect something in the way. (if something on the track the train can't stop in time anyway so it doesn't matter that you didn't detect it). Of course that assumes everything is connected to the signal system 100% of the time.
“Need” is a very strong word. Any potential fines will just be rolled into the costs of doing business, and if it’s found to still be worth it they’ll keep abusing user privacy as there is a net benefit profit-wise.
Seems like in this space, the Air version would be the premium one (smaller, lighter).
They are, all SEC rules are based on properly passed legislation...
> The problem is, that we don't have access to up-to-date Russian military records. Is he really Russian soldier? If he is, can we guarantee that the video is not digitally created (deep fake)? If we guarantee the both, what is the motivation for Russian soldier to say it and what situation led to this video? Do we know, that this soldier was indeed responsible to be close to the dam?

You got evidence and now you're trying to discredit that evidence.

> It is so difficult to say what is true these days.

Indeed it is, I have a feeling you really don't care much about the truth are just here to try and muddy the waters.
Damn, that was fast.

It’s obvious how a 10 second clip scales to 10 minutes or 10 hours or 10 days. You don’t need that much imagination or even a leap of faith.

A court side seat to an NBA game is north of $1000. If this creates 20% of the experience it will easily pay for itself in 1 season.
Seriously, my current motivation to work is basically to afford a place where I can indulge in more of my hobbies and skills. I can't imagine "running out of things to do" (aside from "I am so tired after work I can't be arsed" I guess) anytime soon
Ask HN: Is there StackOverflow for answers but only for autogenerated ones?
I understand why GPT or similar kind of artificial intelligence approach is bad for giving answers. It just gives you wrong answer and that's it (so-called hallucinating). But I have a lot of cases where the answer is appearing from nowhere if I invest some time to clarify the question. Often re-phrasing helps me to understand where is the documentation I need.

Is it possible for GPT not to give me any answers but just rewriting my 1-line question as 100-line with thorougly mentioning all the fields involved in my problem? The idea is that obtaining some correct/incorrect links to the question is more helpful than giving absurdly broad answers in incorrect direction without any ability to tell to GPT that its former X sentences are correct but latter Y sentences are not helpful and deserve to be re-generated.
Yeah but that involves going out, talking to people, and actually having a witness to your own desires.

Don't underestimate the power of shame; it's not about getting off, it's about getting off in private without anyone knowing about it. And it's about being in control, because an escort can say 'no', will not just disappear when you have post-nut clarity, will have their own boundaries.
I don't see the context here but if you want: guess why I never used it.
Twitch is ad driven though.
Newton, Power Mac Cube, iMac G4 "Sunflower", and solid gold first-gen Apple Watch come to mind as Apple hardware products that failed to live up to the hype.

On the software side there are more misses, but also the stakes are lower.

It's a great track record for thirty years, of course. All the other big tech companies have graveyards full of half-assed product launches.
Huh, if anything Google rarely returns walktroughts from steamcommunity.com for me and much prefers shoving hour long youtube videos.
iPhone severely depended on how shitty US networks were in general, and honestly if MS didn't bumble things with WP7 I'm not sure it would get that popular that fast.
There Is No Web3
Recent article from a Developer DAO Member sharing their opinion on Web3's Identity Crisis.

Their conclusion: There is no Web3. There is only the Web.
I’ve been using copilot for a few months now and I wouldn’t consider it as anything more than really good autocomplete. I don’t expect it to write code for me like ChatGPT does or really just do anything other than save me the hassle of typing out repetitive lines in testing and config files. And for that it’s great! Absolutely worth the $20 USD a month or whatever I pay for it

It’s wild how much the narrative has changed around copilot since the release of ChatGPT. When copilot first came out there was so much breathless hemming and hawing over how it was so problematic for violating licenses. Turns out, it’s not really good enough to even be used in such a way that it could do that
Am I the only one that is surprised they went with the "all in the glasses" design? (Minus the exterior battery and cable.) I was expecting an extremely lightweight pair of glasses that wirelessly connects with a stationary device that provides most of the computing power for the VR/AR. That device could even be the new generation of iPhones...

The design as-is looks better than 95% of other headsets, but still strikes me as a bit clunky.
I find his gushing about the centrality of phones to be annoying.

Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile choose not to serve the valley I live in, why should I reward them by buying an expensive plan? From time to time I've had a Tracfone but after a few years I wind up with 3000+ minutes because my average mobile call lasts under 2 minutes.

Practically I use an iPad to do almost everything people use phones for, even making telephone calls with Skype. I'm just waiting for them to shush me at the public library and point out the sign that says using a phone isn't allowed and tell them I'm not using a phone, I'm using a tablet. (My typical call is so short though they don't have time)

I constantly complain about "phonishness" invading the PC and other computing platforms, like Reddit trying to push you to use their mobile crapp. I still see the phone as a step backwards in computing, not a step forwards, particularly if you are forced to use that other mobile OS that has a trashcan as its logo.
Especially since the article has virtually nothing to do with that fanfic besides "I'm trying stuff to see what happens". The author isn't even following the the scientific method, he's not doing any predictions, just poking the thing and seeing how it reacts.

(Which, to be clear, is perfectly fine and useful, but it's weird that the author treats his process with so much reverence when he's not actually following the formal parts.)

Am I missing some context, like it was called from vscode within an open project that already had some metadata or other context?
Until yesterday I had very similar thoughts. Now after checking it out I actually like it this way. The fact that there's less posters means you can post something you like, and it won't be downvoted just because it's competition or it rubs the hivemind the wrong way. I can't say if this becomes my new go-to forum, but for the moment there is excitement there that I haven't felt about anything online for a long time.

Oh, and there definitely are some insane places there. Check out lemmygrad if you want to make your head spin.
India has a hacking industry?

Seriously, I can understand scamming industry presence in India, but hacking industry, if at all present will be very nascent.

Edit: In the title it suggests "confession", but it most likely was bragging :)
(One of the authors here) That's absolutely true. Not easy to summarize the hard work involved on all sides in a short title: finding an issue, communicating it to the security team and then resolving the issue.

A slightly longer version of 'this': AWS really swiftly acknowledged the issue and fixed it in the latest version of AWS CDK. In case you use the `eks.Cluster` component of the AWS CDK, and you use AWS CDK <v2.80.0 or <v1.202.0 you are affected by this issue, Update the CDK to resolve it.

If you want to learn more about what the issue was exactly, I'd be happy if you give the blog post a read :)
Apple became a victim of their own success in relation to the “i”. It is now associated with Apple, but it is too pedestrian to be registered as a trademark.
By prepaid I don't mean a subscription, I mean loading an amount then it uses that as balance, with it being charged per mb/sms/call.

> 2hrs battery, on a flight can you even carry those...

Most flights have plug sockets now don't they, you're sitting down in a confined space, it seems fine to plug it in.

Any even if you can't plug it in, I'd guarantee it'll be below the 100Wh restriction that almost all airlines use, there aren't really any consumer electronics batteries above this precisely because you can't travel with them. They would also be huge and heavy.
IMO probably more related to pandemic wind down than the Jan 6 stuff. His podcast has always been pretty eclectic and has siloed audiences based on the topics.

During the pandemic he had a lot of notoriety and relevance because he would platform opinion contrary to the establishment governmental health authorities. To a large degree because of the mis/disinformation guidelines on social media sites, his podcast was the only place a lot of that information could be found and his show gained popularity with a new silo of listeners. He achieved a lot of relevance from that group…and the media because of it, which was hellbent on attempting to “correct” his allegedly dangerous opinions.
You’re not crazy.

Others have noticed the very same effect and felt disenfranchised by it.

In some subreddits your post gets removed because the title didn’t end in a period.

It results in subreddits full of boring recycled dreck, because the smart folks take their ball and go home.

Unfortunately, strict mode is incompatible with name-based type mapping: if you have a column that you want to be an RFC 3339 date-time (e.g. "2023-06-06T23:25:27+11:00"), for example, the only spelling permitted for the column type is “TEXT”, whereas without strict mode you can name it “DATETIME” or similar and popular libraries in various languages will automatically map that to the language’s datetime type (according to local conventions, not anything universally defined—e.g. https://docs.rs/sqlx/latest/sqlx/sqlite/types/index.html shows the built-in mappings the Rust sqlx library has decided to support). This destroys the ergonomics of strict mode for me, rendering strict mode quite undesirable, since it’s basically fighting with a more useful sort of strictness.

(I wrote a little more about this, with examples, at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33282830.)
I’ve had similar experiences in other subreddits, yep. Not so much things being removed, though. Instead I ask nicely for help with learning something and get fried with “you’re doing this all wrong, lrn2notsuck noob” responses, or I spend a good chunk of time on a thoughtful response to a question and it gets no votes or responses at all.

Some subreddits are notable exceptions, though—-those are the ones I’ll actually miss if this thing collapses. By and large, they’re small, very focused subreddits on particular topics; seems like once a subreddit reaches a certain size it just collapses into the above mess of behaviors.
