Because autopilot tries to correct the plane, it doesn't have any logic for 'run out of fuel'. And without the engine power any action only destabilise the plane further. Also even without the autopilot the planes aren't stable at flight (besides brobably An-2?) and are flying in gigantic sea of air which has its own tides, waves, turbulences, zones of higher/lower pressure... Look at that wiki article, probably a similar situation.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_South_Dakota_Learjet_cr...

Edit: and even if everything is 'good' the unconscious pilot's body can brush against the stick (bump from turbulence eg) and force autopilot to disengage (or it was already disengaged by itself by being not able to correct the plane course) and push (quite literally) the plane to the downward spiral.
IMO it's nothing like that. There's no significant difference in availability of birth control in red vs blue states.

It's that in red states the pandemic was an extended party and vacation with everyone having extra money.

No entertainment places closed. There was no overall feeling of anxiety. Bars, Restaurants, vacation spots were more packed than ever.

Young people partied, worked from home and got thousands and thousands of dollars in free money. Pretty much everyone I know that was in the category of "probably going to have kids at some point" went ahead and had kids. My close friends from high school to college in red states span a range of about 8 years and almost all had kids. All planned and on purpose because it really just felt like an ideal time.

It was also a great hospital experience! No guests, labor and delivery was over staffed. Hospital, other than the barrier separated COVID area was completely empty.

On the other hand I have friends in blue states and areas that literally stayed home for months. Some people didn't even go out to eat for a year.

Schools were also closed for over a year in some blue states. Red States just had some schools close for like 2 months.
Eventually, maybe. In the keynote, there was a vague outline of a virtual keyboard, but (unless I missed it) we never saw that virtual keyboard in use. Instead, the demo pivoted to using a paired Magic Keyboard.
Nah man, it's true because now they have the capacity to generate all of this fake garbage at the press of a button. They could never have pulled it off before in a convincing way. If the entire planet is going to be unified under a single authority that takes its orders from "aliens", it best be convincing. That's the direction we're headed.

It's unusual, outside x86, for these functions to be hardware accelerated. So just about every libm has to do it in software.

Nearly all libm implementations around are based off Sun's fdlibm from the 80's-90's, including a bunch of the variants cited below, *bsds, etc. They are basically updated slightly, but you can see their heritage in the structure of the code. The original is found on netlib these days: https://www.netlib.org/fdlibm/k_cos.c

14th order polynomial, but only uses ~7 terms. It's supposed to have error < 1 ULP. For fdlibm, it's pretty readable compared to some of the other fun ones. I seem to remember sqrt being a bit gnarly.

Agree that C is easier to explore the concepts in, but knowing enough C to know why e.g. [0] gets the behavior it does is IMO not useful if the goal is to learn the _concepts_ before switching to a language that doesn't do this kind of thing.

So, IMO worth jumping to Rust as soon as you feel confident with the stack vs the heap, use-after-frees, etc.

JPEG XL is the first image format in over a decade that has shown real quality improvements for high-frequency images (i.e. sharp edges). JPEG 2000 is competitive with all of the video codec I-frame formats I've tried, and you can embed them in PDFs unmodified, so I've not troubled with anything new.
This question is bad. Learn all three. You’re not taking a class at school. There is no penalty for dropping out. Just start learning and if it’s boring, stop.
You would need another feature in addition: the ability to change the runtime type tag of a value. Then monkey-patching would be changing the type of a value to a subclass that has overridden methods as you request. The subclasses could be named, but it wouldn't have much value. As you could repeatedly override methods on the same value, the names wouldn't be of much use, so you might as well make the subclass anonymous.

In another dimension, you could use that feature in combination with something rather like Ruby's metaclasses to change definitions globally in a statically-typed language.

I can't think of a language that works this way currently out there, but there's nothing impossible about the design. It's just that no one wants it.

That's why I added "at reasonable speeds". At start-stop busy city driving it might be worse to use ICE engine (although it might combine both ICE power with electric engine power, to keep the ICE at its optimal range anyway).
"from one of the most senior judges in the UK"
I mean, this is a very subjective judgement.

He's not nothing but it's not like he's one of the top 10 most senior judges in the UK or something.

He also doesn't handle the legal frameworks for trillions of dollars of transactions. I don't even know what you think "handle the legal framework" means, but it's clear you literally don't even understand his job, and you sort of ascribe some weird business structure to it.

The responder to me was right - every time someone points out a problem you make up some ethereal nonsense.

You really seem to think you are doing the right thing, or at least present that as a facade.

But you do in fact come off as a confidence grifter.
Maybe change that if you want anyone to take you seriously, rather than just argue you have a big brain and people should therefore respect you.

It turns out, unsurprisingly, there are lots of big brained people around. The useful parts of what you say are not particularly insightful, and the rest is just crazy.
Usenet didn't fail. It is still around, but nowhere near as vibrant as when it was 'the only game in town'. Yes it is slow, yes it is spartan. But like AM radio, it should still be kept as a no-frills alternative when things have to depend on low-bandwidth.

Like FTP, it still has a use.

But people are still attracted to "oooh, bright shiny thing!" rather than the spartan.

Using heat is common in a similar hobby(?), translating (older) Japanese manga. You would use a hair dryer or clothesiron to melt the glue in the spine, pull apart the pages/clean off the glue, and scan them in. That way you don't shave off 2-page spreads. (After scanning, you'd have to clean up the image a lot still, but oh well.) I can imagine here you also just don't want to damage the pages, even if the damage seems infinitesimal.

It doesn't happen so much anymore for manga since things are mostly digital. Though some publishers still publish at 1200x800 (looking at you, Hakusensha!) or worse (I think one site uses like, 900x600?). Mostly these days this would only happen for self-published works (which are still distributed in limited quantities and in physical format only, oftentimes). Or apparently publishers occasionally just...lose the digital files. (Though I can't find where I read this anymore.)

I get what you're saying in a mathematical sort of way, but I think the point you might be missing is that "monitor sized object" isn't a relevant concept for this device. You're saying that I can't think about this in terms of regular monitors, but I think you're doing precisely that.

"monitor sized object" exists as a thing because we live in a reality where desks limit the size of the things we can reasonably use for work. But here, your desk is virtual now. There is "space" for a bigger screen. You're saying they compensated by making the virtual screen larger--my thought here is "so what"?

Text legibility / crispness will be important. I'm one of those guys who buys the 5K displays, so I agree it matters. But Apple made a point of calling out clean text rendering, and none of the previews have complained so far. But obviously no one in those early previews has spent 8 hours in an IDE, so we'll see.

Fully agree that more would be better, and would increase the usability of smaller, more fine elements. But this might be enough resolution to pull off the concept in a perfectly usable way.
When I'm away on a remote site for a week or two, it is nice to be able to watch a movie with my wife after a shift. There's something nice about the feeling of being connected even though I'm 2000kms away from her.
Maybe this will just be it for Reddit. I know if the app I use (Reddit Is Fun) goes away, as it is planning to do, I won't use Reddit on my phone any more and by extension, I will rarely use it at all. No big drama or boycott from me. It is just another community circling the drain via planned obsolescence.

That's fine, but what you actually posted was an unambiguous case of flamebait. The burden is on you as a commenter not to do that.

That is, the burden is on you to disambiguate your intent. Your intent exists in your head, but not in anyone else's—you have to communicate it clearly if you want other people to give you thoughtful responses.

Google is not a monolith. The JXL people are at Google Research Zurich, while the people who decided to not include JXL in Chrome are members of the Chrome team. The Chrome team obviously does not employ the people over in Zurich, nor do they presumably control what they work on.
Go functions are coloured as well. context.Context proliferates everywhere IO takes place to handle cancellation / short circuiting because goroutines can’t be sent signals to die like threads. They have to exit themselves.

"What are you talking about" is a common swipe and guaranteed to land as such. It isn't used in contemporary English to ask neutrally what someone is referring to. If that's what you wanted to do, there are plenty of other phrases to use.

> And when faced with what appeared to be actual vaccine misinformation, you decide to come down on my post instead?

By the time I saw the GP post, it had been replaced with "[deleted]", so it wasn't a question of "instead". (It's not a good practice to replace a comment with "[deleted]", but that's a different issue.) As for "misinformation", people mostly use that term to mean something they strongly disagree with. It isn't against HN's rules to be wrong. Possibly the GP did break HN's rules in some other way, but that's independent of whether you broke the rules (which you did). Users here need to follow the rules regardless of how bad another post is or you feel it is.

I share some of your skepticism, but I do indeed watch movies in my VR headset (while running on my elliptical trainer).

I use the Meta Quest Pro right now, so it's not plugged into anything, but I would not be averse to plugging it into some phone-sized battery unit in my pocket or clipped to my belt or something.

And I definitely, desperately, do also want to do my software engineering job in VR (with many large displays or floating windows) and not my laptop. But the question is, will those of us who see this future coming and are waiting impatiently for it want to do it with this headset?

The Meta Quest Pro is pretty amazing in its own right (and pretty expensive, although not Apple expensive) but it nevertheless just isn't there yet.

It reminds me of using Linux for desktop computing in 1999. You can see it will be great one day, but it's definitely not great yet.

I feel like Apple could maybe build that if they wanted to... but do they?

8 years ago, I recorded by graduation ceremony with a 360-degree panorama. I did the same with my first live concert at Wembley. It's something I can view with a Google Cardboard headset.

But to this day, it remains my most powerful photographic memory and I'm glad I took it.
This isn't even Adobe's first attempt at solving this problem. Old, old versions of Photoshop in the early 90's (I believe it was introduced in Photoshop 2.5) had an ancient hack called "quick edit" which would allow you to select a file and then open a "slice" of the file, which is a specified bounding box within the file (and not only x,y coordinates -- it could also select a subset of the color channels). It would then present that chunk of the file as its own standalone document window which you could manipulate to your heart's content, then when you saved it, it wrote the slice back out to the original document. It only supported a subset of graphics formats because each one had to have custom code to read and write the slice data.
We just had this happen tonight. Even worse is it seems to silently get stuck. It’s hard to get it back to a blessed state.
Try Rust++
They're suited for delivery because they're based on video codecs (WebP on VP8, AVIF on AV1) for which consumer hardware typically has hardware decoding support, but were not designed for still images. AVIF is newer and substantially better than WebP, but still has limited colour depth and channels, so it's comparatively poor for editing. Lossless mode is not good for non-photo content. Encoding is relatively slow without hardware support.
If it is 23M pixels per lens, that is still more resolution than a smartphone's screen. Each lens is smaller than a smartphone's screen and the resolution is per eye. I wouldn't be surprised if this actually exceeds the eye's ability to perceive pixels.

The difference between a monitor and the lens of a headset. If you look at a 4K monitor up closely within a region of the screen of two inches in radius, you are not seeing 4K in that region. 4K of pixel applies to the whole monitor not to the eye's field of view as it does to a headset.

If you were using the headset as a monitor, you could zoom in on text and the text can effectively have infinite resolution as it scales up into view.
> like the iPhone did then?

To be fair, only one other phone had a capacitive touchscreen, and Apple provided the first OS that could really leverage it. The situation between Apple Vision and the numerous long-running incumbents with similar technology is very different to the unveiling of the iPhone.
I hear you, I'm 38. I've been using a 14-in screen for the last ten years. Clients will ask why I don't use more monitors, but I can really only focus on one thing at a time, and my field of vision isn't that big. If I need to look at another screen, I just three-finger swipe.

I agree with GP. It is a shadowy culture. The Washington Post bit is the clue when you walk in. You are working for the United States government. It is not the Washington Post you should care about, it is the Justice Department and the legal system.

If you say that politics trumps laws then you are implying extra-legal forces dominate legal forces in our system. One way such hidden power centers are created is via shadowy bureaucracies. For example, FBI should write down everything they discuss and decide. We should be able to shine a light into any government institution in our land. If everything is legally done, there is nothing to be worried about, Washington Post be damned.
We're not talking banning something with demand from consumers like alcohol or other recreational drugs, we're talking about banning a harmful practice that companies engage in.
