You could do this with Immersed on a Quest 2 but you’re right the ecosystem is what will make or break that option.

Personally I hope there is no keyboard at all. Seems with depth cameras mapping your hands, eye tracking, perfect speech-to-text, and some user training you could do some cool stuff.
I like how there's lots of replies showing different ways to do this, improve it, additional nuances and viewpoints etc. lots of smart people.

If I ever want better solutions for some programming problem, I'll write a post about it and try to get it in frontpage of HN :)
That should make it unsurprising.
Something I've wanted (which probably exists as an extension in Chrome?) for Google searches is a simple blacklist. Just a little button and confirmation next to a result, telling it to never show this blog-spam-ad-laden-SEO-mess of a page to me ever again. Maybe it's an uphill battle, but for some niche topics (like certain games) there are some sites I keep having to scroll past and sometimes accidentally click that are written in SEO-speak and say a lot without saying anything at all.
Yeah, I'm a programmer, I'm aware of all that by definition. The issue here it's getting to he point where is inevitable that it will replace a huge amount of job positions in a tiny frame of time in ways society is not prepared for, if you think the amount of jobs at risk is anywhere in a similar scale we have seen before you haven't been paying attention; of course the flaw here lies on society's itself and what it means to earn a living, and not really over ML researchers or Adobe or any other company creating those AIs.
I wonder if this would be useful as a dataset for economics research. Lots you could conceivably pull from the ads: fine grained pricing, company formation and destruction, trends in standards for components, performance specs of components over time. All at the time of the Cambrian explosion of computing

Also wow this is a gargantuan effort. I scanned thee equivalent of like one issue of Computer Shopper one time and it was painful. Kudos to the author.

The problem won't be the panels wearing out ... it's just space is a premium in cities and it will be more the case more efficient panel types be installed.

The throw away culture might have been addressed by the time a lot of old panels start coming off rooves, and simple repurposed at a location that has room and a need for more power even if it isn't as efficient.

As for "glass" ... if it is low quality, I'm sure there will be a need for "low quality" clear glass ... unlike plastic, it can be melted and formed into glass sheets without too much issue.

I would love to pick up a truck load of solar panels that are being thrown away ... but around my way the asking price is still a little much considering some would need their voltage regulation / controller replaced ... and there would be less silver in that load than a single silver spoon.
This might be a rather obvious and stupid suggestion, but why don't all the 3rd party apps just get together, agree on a "new reddit" and move to that. If their users are more loyal to the app than to reddit, problem solved.

It just can't be that hard to hack together a nested newsgroup-like system in this day and age.
It's not just not the mainstream media onto it. Even the dedicated UFO gatekeepers haven't touched it yet. I think that indicates that: it's factional, and it's a new faction.
It sounds like it's an issue with LastPass's payment provider, who must think they are doing them a favor by blocking transactions with email addresses at "suspicious domains".
That might eventually happen. There's a reason why we have natural gas piping in millions of homes. With hydrogen this even replaces the need for the grid. Many ideas that were originally laughed at end up being the winning solution.
There was some serious underestimation of the Western Ukrainian resolve.

I’m very surprised they attempted an airfield seizure with such a small force. The airfield seizure debacle led to many others, such as convoy bombings.

That strikes me as gross miscalculation, not really logistics
It’s not broken. I use the exact match operator “” all the time and it works pretty much every time. Selecting verbatim works even better.

In Canada I think it's pretty even split; as much as we have a "left" and "right", I don't think the left or the right have strongly different views on immigration. We are bringing in immigrants at a massive clip though, and progressives are noting that the cost of living keeps increasing while wages stay the same, leading to a lot of hardship for people who haven't already accumulated wealth.

There may be conservatives who oppose immigration out of xenophobia, but there are many conservative business owners who see immigration as a way to keep paying a less than living wage, and landlords who see it as a way to keep the demand for rentals (much) higher than the supply
> GPUs are already filled with ports and there is no demand for any manufacturer to put a USB 4 port on it.

USB-C ports on graphics cards are already quite readily available.

> They also saturate their PCI-E slots so trying to shove more data through it isn't tempting.

No they don’t. Most cards and use scenarios don’t even saturate x8 PCIE4 let alone a full x16 PCIE5 slot.
Mopidy provides some fantastic web frontends, and also exposes an MPD interface so you get the best of both worlds. For output, you can go directly to your audio out on the server, or use something like Snapcast or even an Icecast stream (I use both for different purposes).

I have a few different sql scripts that just tear through the mopidy sqlite database and build daily playlists using mood, genre or pure random so each day I get a few "discovery" playlists.

Then, for real discovery, flip through the year-based lists on rateyourmusic.com (https://rateyourmusic.com/charts/top/album/2020/) and the world is your oyster.
Every seriously optimised embedded hardware/software widget could be thought of that way.
Entertainments from a Medieval Minstrel’s Repertoire Book
Yes, because they teach us what we're expected to believe are the tropes about risk, and societal understanding of AI and risk.

Can war films teach us anything about war?

Can courtroom dramas teach us anything about the law?

Can watching roadrunner cartoons teach us about buying goods from the ACME corp?

Several authors have tried to modify the detective genre by inclusion of the mobile phone. They have to resort to Deus ex Machina outcomes like "oh no the battery's dead" or "damn, I'm out of range" because in most normal situations, phoning it in, does in fact short circuit the problem of partial knowledge and keeping others informed.

Likewise DNA testing. It both raises and dashes hopes of how to "prove crime" because the probative value of DNA evidence is contextual. When 90%+ of violent crime happens from within the family, what does it help, to show DNA evidence associates the family members?

"I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that" at least was partially informed by Minsky but thats almost laughable as a statement of "AI informed from movies informed from AI research"

the androids of Bladerunner had interior desires. The androids of Aliens.. it's more circumspect. The robots of Bicentennial and AI Artificial Intelligence are entirely about the search for "personhood" in an autonomous, artificial person. I argue that the narratives inherent in a story which is designed to beg the question cannot really answer the question, because it's presumed as an axiom: If the robots were not already autonomously independently conscious, then their desire is not comprehensible.

About one thing, I think we can be confident: the bootup power sequence for the first autonomous rubbish robot better be the "Mac" chimes or Pixar is dead to me.
If we agree then why are we arguing? I said it would take 3 more generations to hit 100 million, and I said it would happen. My point is that it won’t attract big time developers until then because it will be not be economical for them. But I think apple can grind it out, make it just good enough to attract just enough value to grow just enough hit big numbers in 5-7ish years.
If I had discovered bearblog I probably would have never written my current static site generator. Bearblog is exactly what I was looking for because you don’t have to make any choices. Just write!
10:10 wasn't always dominant. Look at some print ads for watches from the 1920s and 1930s. 8:18 was used just as frequently if not more so. It's the "other" time where the hands are balanced and equidistant from the 12 and 6. I grew up (pre-web) having heard (probably from some trivia book) the false explanation that 8:18PM was the time of Lincoln's death.

I've been organizing a large-ish volunteer-run gaming convention for 20+ years. One thing I've noticed is that while people with stable jobs (such as developers) are often willing to contribute their expertise for free, freelancers (such as artists) often expect to get paid.

The reason is quite simple. A stable job is much like inherited wealth. Because your income is reasonably guaranteed, you can live your life without trying to turn every opportunity into a business transaction.

As some of us are professional event organizers, we often compare our convention to professionally run events. In some aspects, we are really amateurish, as we are just a bunch of volunteers doing things for cheap. In other aspects, we are better than professionally run events. We can choose to do the right thing without having to worry about business models and profitability.

Sometimes money is what gets boring but necessary things done. And sometimes money is the reason why we can't have nice things.
Nice examples. I agree, they show the character of the knife-priests. It's all right there in the book.

I think the same old things can be given new secular names, and people can end up doing the same things -- or even worse. Adopt a new identity! Get a new name! Make a blood sacrifice to the blood god!

Memes are tricky. They love irreversibility and they love to mark the body.

What kind of cult? Occult, literally hidden (try showing it). Blood and sex magic.
I haven't installed the beta yet so don't know details, but I saw a mention on Reddit that you can now have two different ringtones at least.
Amazon owns Goodreads. It's not independent. It's also not mentioned on the site afaik. (They also own IMDb and a bunch of other internet companies that aren't Amazon-branded). If you want something independent, try storygraph or librarything.
No, they didn't. They told the general public one thing, and told the moderators a significantly different thing in private, via a confidential moderator-only communications channel. This put the moderators in the position of having to act in accordance with a secret policy and contrary to what the public policy said, which would make it seem that the moderators were the ones at fault when people pointed that out.
I think it makes sense if you think about it. “Max” is pretty objective, it means the highest limit of something, so that’s the most powerful. “Ultra” isn’t very clear, but we know it’s lower than Max and higher than “not ultra”, so it’s in the middle. Since both “max” and “ultra” imply something not just better but larger, we can conclude that the plain M2 is the version targeted at more power efficient devices. Finally, Pro stands out as the only modifier clearly unrelated to computing performance, so it must have to do with “professional” features, like ECC RAM and MDM.
But it wasn't secret. The narrative has been out there for ages but covered in disinformation so you can't see it properly. The disinformation caused people to see it as ridiculous, as was intended, so they ignored previous government whistleblowers with the same story.
I think the deeper issue is that there is no "one right way".

I subscribe to the "you need to be original myth" for example. If I don't feel I can contribute anything to the existing corpus of text then I won't write about it. This does not mean that there can't be pre-existing content; I did an explainer on bitmasks for example – hardly a new concept – but I felt I could add something to the existing corpus, so it was "original" in that sense. I also tend to only write on things I'm fairly knowledgable on (with one or two exceptions) and while no one is ever "100% correct" I spend quite a bit of effort ensuring it's as close as I can be. All of this is what works well for me, so that's fine.

Fundamentally: it's your site, and you can do whatever the hell you want with it. Purple text on a pink background? It's your site! Lost of swearing? It's your site! Furry drawings? It's your site! Gay leather kink pictures in the sidebar? It's your site!

Aren't discord/slack products of the last ~5 yrs? Were IRC channels actually active until then? The last I spent time on efnet was maybe early/mid 2000s.
It still has some value. It indicates a group of product.

Non-sequential naming also gives them the flexibility to shift new products into the category over time. They do this with the M1/M2 in the iPad.
Things degrade wood too, doesn't make it useless.

A missed pros for HMD is that it's very energy efficient. 85 inch TV is quite power hungry while Vision Pro might consume power similar to an iPad Pro.
Well if common sens is based on the disinformation provided by a tyranical illegal secret structure, then waht? Heh

Maybe you need to update your common sense. Make it uncommon sense, then it will be useful. :)
Yes, but that’s not how “normal” people take it. People believe these are thinking machines and programs, capable of some amount of reasoning. It’s coming from somewhere between decades of terrifying sci-fi and a few months of impressive model results.
I'm confused, if someone is already using something like GKE or EKS, what do you do? Presuming people are using cloud build/code pipeline with their setups.
No, I’m suggesting there was a reasoning behind why he thought this was preferable to the lockdowns.
Apple doesn't arbitrarily limit the drivers you can run.

And up until now there hasn't been a Mac Nvidia could even sell graphics cards for.

Even now Mac Pro users will be such a tiny segment it's probably not worth the effort.
They needed some of those stoves on gimbals that they use on ships.
As explained at length by the moderators themselves, the detection was a lot more multiply-factored than that. They also took into account (for example) massive stylistic changes in posting questions, comments, and answers; because people were only using machines to generate the answers.

> 10 years ago if you'd told me articles like this were coming I'd have laughed

People were predicting this _thirty_ years ago and yes, they were laughed at.
When was it ever true that public discussion didn't require moderation? We live alongside a pile of mush brained, mouth breathing dullards whose single and only goal in life is for somebody to vote up their latest brain fart and be told what to think.

Largely we excluded these people from conversation with social cues and sold them back their prejudices via red-top newspapers, which mostly kept their brain farts and prejudices suppressed.

For better or worse, you can't do that with the internet. Facebook and twitter seem hell bent on not only encouraging their appalling behaviour but amplifying it.

The only way to stay away from them is to stay ahead of them and stay away from any medium these idiots think is "their place".
No way to know for sure. But many bacteria today look very similar to what little bit of maybe fossils we might have.
Personally, I don't care about them having a cheap offering. I hate them because the entire way they work is to lock you into their ecosystem. It's like Microsoft used to be, only much worse because at least back in the bad-ol' days of the 2000s, MS didn't sell hardware, and didn't have an "app store" either.

With Dell, by contrast, I can buy an Inspiron or a Latitude or a workstation, then wipe out the pre-loaded Windows junk and install the Linux distro of my choice, and it works fine. Then if I don't like the included SSD size, I can easily pop it open and install a bigger Samsung one that I bought on Amazon. And having a Dell laptop doesn't pressure me in any way to own a Dell cellphone (which doesn't exist anyway), or vice versa.
This sounds like a very reasonable explanation. For fun, I explained the gist of the article to my wife and asked for her take. She attributes the rise in red states to "happy couples getting to spend more time together". We're a good example of that, our babies #4 and #5 were both born during the pandemic. In all honesty, I was WFH before covid but the time I get to spend with my family as a result is such a blessing. It's also no joke how much the healthcare "environment" changed... I make a point to go to every single prenatal and pediatric appointment. The only ultrasound I ever missed was due to hospital rules disallowing our children from accompanying us.
I just had a flashback of creating a forwarding-buffer-queue on memcached, a complete abomination but it was able to drastically reduce the load on the endpoints that saved game progress in a casual game.

It updated or created an entry for each call. But if a buffer was already in the queue, it would write the most recent one into the existing slot. This had the effect of reducing the load by the multiple of the update rate. So if you had clients sending save game payloads every 30s and your queue depth is 2.5mins, then your write rate to disk is 1/5. I think.

But memcached wasn't Redis, this was pre-Redis, and memcached could have evicted any of those keys at any time. We gave it lots of space, it never GCd, we never needing to fix it. The game slide from above the fold and wasn't fun enough to be viable long term.

One of my proudest Scotty Engineering moments.
Twitter has never been particularly good at catching illegal material.
It would be nice to mention in the Haskell part the solution which is just use 'trace', which just prints the thing and also evaluates to it, so it's just a pair of parens and a keyword and away you go.
There are a lot of professionals who travel with their computers e.g. movie industry who would appreciate being able to fit everything in one box.

Likewise if you're in a studio being able to reduce the amount of equipment in your rack is always a win.
Tried entering it in Grapher (on the Mac) and got what looked more or less like a parabola. My algebra is rusty — but do you kind of have an x-squared in there?
I've seen plenty of mergers where there's a weird brain transplant and flippozambo! the acquired company's leadership is now in charge of the buying company. The fish, as they say, trots from the head.
I think the key to that would be a design of interface which is a step beyond "a sphere of virtual monitors" where zooming was not just magnifying but rather a nuanced and responsive reallocation of both visual space and contextual information relevant to the specific domain.
Legally, this isn't true. You're obligated to pay "use tax" (same as sales tax) to your state of residence when you bring it home if you aren't an Oregon resident, for most states. (Of course, almost no one does...)

If you live outside the US, however, you can probably get away with this as the total value is likely under the customs exemption threshold, or if you use the device for a bit before you get on the plane, you can claim it's "used".
Do Kwan and Sam Bankman-Fried also tried evading arrest by not being in the US. Didn't work so well.
Can't tell if this is sarcastic or not. First, it's just wrong, as the M2 Ultra is more powerful than the M2 Max. I could easily justify these adjectives being in any order.
you are describing some weird hypothetical by a very determined person. they are the people who volunteer their time today to moderate, trying to stop dumb copy paste as a first step, be it via looking at the contents or frequency, whatever gets the job done. Always impressed by people opining here on what the world really needs.
Just did a quick test with task "finish laundry".

No, that was because I thought my site was under attack (this was before I learned the story was posted here).

How to take a year-long road trip with reliable 70-degree weather
It does and it doesn't.

The cable is really about how it runs down your shoulder/back. It gets caught on stuff and pinched between your body and seat, pulling it off. This is a problem even when using magnetic usb cables or Nreal with a usb-c based phone.

Taking it off is still necessary for anything outside of a trivial task. It's really scary to think about dropping a $3.5k device in the toilet/sink or having it fall off your head.

> It's interesting though you seem to view the fact that it's close to impossible to move your monitors as a plus - that part sounds very weird to me.

In the video, all of the virtual monitors are "perfectly" aligned with the user and the surrounding environment. It looks beautiful, but presents some challenges that I hope Apple has installed.

For example, if you use this at a desk, how do you ensure that the screens anchor directly in front of you every time you use it? Are the just slightly off? Do they read the room and reset when they recognize it? Do you need to "recenter" every time you use the device?

How do you put a TV in the perfect place in your room?
Oculus already lets you watch Netflix and stuff, visually it’s a pretty decent experience, but like … 42” TVs are $300 or something. you’re not gonna fall asleep on the couch with your headset on, or at least you certainly don’t want to.

I think it’s a beautiful and fascinating piece of tech, I doubt I’ll be an early purchaser, but I’d sure like one. It does feel like they are grasping at straws for mainstream use cases.
It might also reflect the fact that the device does not have the GPU computing power to deliver impressive gaming.
Seems like they mentioned t-rex arms which are characteristic of non-ergo keyboards, all of which are generally terrible. I really wish Apple would just make a better version of the Sculpt now that MS is out of that game.
