Absolutely none of which are a compelling reason to pick the $3.5k headset over an iPad or laptop for a fifth the price (or hell, a tenth the price used). Like I said, 2D content just floating in a 3D space is more of a gimmick than a real selling point.

Also, keep in mind, Meta's headsets have full access to all of Windows' apps and games through link or Virtual Desktop, which absolutely dwarfs Apple's lineup.
Www.
Wouldn't this be the ideal instruction for implementing multi-word arithmetic? If the carry flag is set from the previous (lower order) addition, increase the next word up by one and continue adding.

And of course ARM 32 had conditional execution for all instructions. These appear the variants that were useful enough to keep around when the general feature was removed from aarch64

I have two main tasks for this year.

One was to dig through a system that was built a decade ago and modernize it. I just wrapped that up. The end result has eliminated multiple points of failure and unnecessary process, and has enabled my team to completely own the solution end to end.

The other task is to dig into and modernize a system that was originally started over 2 decades ago. I've got some other, minor tasks to get through this month and next and am excited to get onto this next task around August.

I'm ~20 years into this career and I am have more fun in the job today than I ever have before.
That's no excuse for posting bad comments yourself.

A big internet forum like HN gets tons of crap comments. Most eventually get moderated, but not all; and even the ones that get moderated take time before we see them.
i think they are the most visible ones. it's not like you are going to see what a database programmer working at oracle does at their job.
I don't disagree, however when was the last time you walked into a room where at least one person wasn't solely focused on their phone.

The 3D photo thing is super weird, they could release a stand alone camera in future, BUT, I think this is a v1 product, imagine where it'll be in 5 years time, or an SE model which isn't wrap around. I already wear glasses so having AR glasses is no big leap.

If the strategy is fully about content (which would make this device about selling services on top of the Vision Pro), why is the Vision Pro specced as it is, and why is the price point so high?

The specification of the device seems to be complete overkill for the kind of strategy you are describing, which frankly does not need extreme hardware power, and makes it cost prohibitive to many of the people who would otherwise buy the content.

All I can think of is that there are lower specced and lower priced devices coming, but I am sort of at a loss as to why they didn’t start with those - as if this fails, they aren’t going to get off the ground.
The difference is that now only the owner of a machine profits where before lots of individuals profited. More power to the owners, I guess.
AFAIK llamaindex is built on langchain to save you a lot of time and lines of code, and also constantly adding new stuff (as does langchain) as dataloaders, different indeces, all kinds of cool stuff like nodes pre and post processing, reranking, query optimization, query decomposition, custom query engines and whatnot. you can still use langchain, for example when using agents or more realistically when going the route of textsplitting by token size. I'd say its complementary, do whatever you can do with llama_index and whatever you cant use langchain.
I am very surprised that this is presented as something new. From the very beginning of ARM, all instructions have had a condition attached to them. Contrary to the article, it has absolutely nothing to do with making the processor more CISCy, but is instead one of its most RISCy aspects.
Literally the whole point of rust is to not do manual memory management and let a compiler handle that for you.
Once upon a time the only tools we had were rocks, sticks and fire.

Technology relentlessly improved for millenia in leaps and bounds.

And today we hover around full employment.

I think AI is disruptive, but technology has never yet made humans redundant en masse.
We are at the 'capital' colony period of human history. In theory, the next colony age is 'technology' colonization, and hopefully the slaves will be machines. Can human be free, it is not going to happen. The human society needs human to be not free. Technology will change economy forever if the productivity does not come from human any more. However, if economy cannot keep everyone in place, there will be something else.

I know it has become a massive cliche to say this and I usually don't engage in this conversation, but I think in this case it's legitimate - Reddit has 1,800 employees?! How?! I worked at a well-known mid-size tech company that had around 15 consumer and B2B products and employed 2,000 people and it felt bloated.
It is quite ironic, that people flagged your post.

Meaning apparently, no your opinion, that people don’t want to be confronted with controversial opinions all day long was a unwanted opinion from the local hivemind. Or was I missing something here?

Because I also think, that it is fine, if people do their thing in their groups. There are enough other public (online) places, where you do get confronted with other peoples realities. Is that really a flagworthy opinion?

By definition a conspiracy involves more than one person.
As someone who worked professionally using top of the line audio denoising for speech in cinema productions I have to say that I am underwhelmed by the results. This is very similar to what traditional algorithms would have achieved a decade ago.

Of course there might be potential for improvement there, maybe it is more performant or was developed way faster etc. But just listening to the audible result is not too cinvincing — yet.
Nobody denies that military sensors have picked up unexplained phenomena. Does that make it evidence of little green men visiting in spacecraft? Not even close.

> The interesting part of this news is that this person is not "one crank", he's an actual expert in the field employed by organisations to research this exact phenomena.

And yet here we are again with this one person’s word and nothing in the way of actual evidence.

At this point the earth is blanketed in radar and high definition cameras. Wake me up when there is evidence past a 240p out of focus video or something odd on an infrared sensor 100km away.

Wine generally doesn't really bother with any recent DirectX API's. However, vkd3d has been available as a means to play DirectX 12 games on Linux for a while now.

Of course Apple has split off their graphics API so they had to do the translation work for Metal themselves, but playing DX12 games on Wine isn't all that special.

The statement I made was if you can't read a critical ECG then you failed medical school.

You have basically agreed with me.
I made no statements about subspecialisation or attempt to reconcile the breadth of medical knowledge that is required as you progress through medical training into consultant status with that original knowledge, or implied that we're expected to be able to definitively diagnose and manage a patient with a ECG that implies an imminent threat to life.

Frankly I think that everyone should still be able to recognise a STEMI - it's pretty characteristic; the more severe or subtle AV blocks definitely take some familiarity; but the bedrock principle of ACLS is calling for help, and medicine is certainly a team sport

This is exactly what I tell myself. This is equivalent to their five hundred dollar original iPhone with no App Store or even copy and paste functionality. I expect the SE to cost a third of this if not a fifth.

Instead of educating and healing people psych so that they are intrinsically motivated to not do shitty things, you watch them all the time and punish disobedience. Definitely not like any totalitarian state.

(Also there are many people for whom $1 is not worth a second's thought, and many people who have zero or negative amount of $ and will never pay it. If you really make it about that $1 instead of values, streets will drown in garbage.)

There are a lot of things I could say here. Here are a few.

Your comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36195570 doesn't contain enough information to communicate your intent. It just comes across as a cheap putdown. If you read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html it should be easy to see how a comment like that is against the rules here.

At another level, I completely appreciate how the atrocities and tragedies of the past are still affecting people today and thus I understand and appreciate how you feel.

At the same time, that doesn't make generic ideological battle (which "speaking out against the terror and genocide of the Soviet Union, lest it becomes forgotten" is definitely an example of) on topic for HN. We want curious conversation here. The state you're describing, of battling for people who were genocided in the past, is entirely justified but it is not a state of curiosity. It's therefore off topic for this site.

To say that something is off topic for this site is not a criticism or judgment. Many legitimate, valuable things are off topic for this site. That's because we're trying to have a very specific kind of forum here. It's not a place where "anything goes" - it's a place for a specific kind of interaction.

I think we both know that Reddit has a certain political viewpoint, so let’s not pretend that we don’t.

The meme certainly applies, but not in the way you think it does.

If it’s only Reddit that finds many people’s behaviour objectionable Occam’s Razor would determine that Reddit is the problem.
>That's not how we gain extraordinary trust (remember, Kyrie Irving is pretty darn famous).

Nope. It is how you gain extraordinary trust. It really depends on what they are famous for. There are many famous people or scholars who you respect and trust due to their fame. You trust them, because others trust them.

Fame can also cause distrust too. But it does cause trust as well.

>When it comes to extraordinary claims like this, I usually go back to the "implementation": why and how did another civilization solve all of the physics problems of interstellar flight (if it did), how did they go undetected by other countries and amateurs, and why did they not simply reach out in an attempt to communicate?

This is too much speculation. There are an infinite number of explanations here. Better to follow the the chain of events from the anomalous claim and start piecing together things forwards rather then just claim it's impossible because you can't think of any valid way for it to happen.

Additionally the claim itself is "extraordinary" so basically there is likely no mundane explanation for it if the claim is true.

>At that point I can even buy that these "intelligence officers" believe what they are saying, but I still don't buy that their claims are true.

So that's the first step right? They believe what they are saying. So from their perspective they witnessed extraordinary evidence. So what made them believe it? What did they actually see? Are they correct? Even if following this thread leads to something different then their claim, one can still learn something interesting.

Closed mindedness often involves logic that works backwards. You need to move forwards. If you see a path, moving forwards means following the path. Moving backwards means ignoring the path because you made a guess that there's nothing at the end of the path.

That's a good point, maybe eventually some of the tech will leak out and not actually require wearing the goggles.

Regarding phones, I see your point there too, but at least with phones people can still look up make eye contact, easily set the phone down when needing to interact with someone; unlike these, there is a definite wearing-them and not-wearing barrier that many will probably not cross on a whim, so we'll just get used to interacting with virtually projected eyeballs on the outside of them. Very strange to me.

> It’s already turned into an echo-chamber of nonsense

It really reached an insane degree on the official subs at least. There are some karma farmers that certainly are human that post and post the ever same topics, but the quality of many submissions really dropped significantly. And I compare that to the former reddit quality, which was optimized for mass instead of quality. Today it looks like some form of propaganda spam. Perhaps a result of news outlets copying more than before.

Reddit should have build on its strengths. It was better for discussion than Twitter or Tiktok. Not too deep, but at least you could find new ideas. Now they used the platform to consolidated opinions and killed the advantages that formerly differentiated the platform.
> These were all very real events with very real repercussions. They did not conclusively prove there is no "safe" nuclear power, but they did illustrate the consequences of getting it wrong.

The worse consequences of these events came from the evacuation of the zones, not from the radiations.

Yes there were death due to direct radiations, about 31 for Chernobyl and none for Fukushima. But that's very small compared to all the death due to coal energy pollution, and even hydro which is catastrophic when a dam breaks (which happens way more than nuclear plant accidents).

https://www.statista.com/statistics/494425/death-rate-worldw...

So this is how we can talk about safety of nuclear plant: by looking at stats of the last 70 years and compare it to alternatives. Because unless we want to go back to candles and windmills we can't just say "nuclear seems dangerous so it's safer not to use it". We have to consider what we'll be using to produce electricity instead.
Mostly just works in some parts of the US. Biggest problem here is timing, sometimes beans or squash take over before corn is actually ready to let the beans vine.

No, the internet heavily biases towards people who are on the spectrum for Oppositional Defiant Disorder because only the top 1% of people who are the most passionate about any topic ever post and ODD biases people into being passionate about things most people don't care about.

Thus, if you read internet comments, you get the impression that some significant fraction of the world has a massive chip on their shoulder and are willing to go to great lengths to defy authority whereas if you ever run analytics for a company, you realize that group of people are almost always a rounding error in terms of impact.
Thank you so much for posting this! Been wanting to do it since i first read about it. Gonna use black/blue corn since it is higher in protein and lower in sugar than the strains selected for sweetness.
Yeah, this is the Vision Pro. That leaves room in Apple’s usual nomenclature for Vision Air, Vision Max, Vision Mini, Vision SE, and just plain Vision.

The high-end system spec is to ensure there’s no tethering requirement, thus the computer-class SoC in there.

Lately I have been trying to improve performance of a high precision RTK GNSS receiver installed somewhere high up on the Barents sea, near the Russian border with Norway. Some days it works perfectly down to cm accuracy, but other days it is not able to hold an RTK fix at all.

I was suspecting the northern lights were to blame for most of this trouble since the bad performance periods more or less track to high Kp periods, but it seems that it may be man made interference... There are recent reports from planes flying routes over that area about bad GNSS reception, and efforts from NKOM to log conditions with mobile antennas.

It's probably happening already.
They are. Patterson & Hennessy at their Turing Award lecture back in 2017, when they started talking about where future opportunities for increased speed were going to come from, the very first thing they took a (polite) dump on was how software was written very inefficiently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LVeEjsn8Ts&t=2183s

The old canard that programmer time was worth more than processing time that bad coders quote is less and less true by the year; SWEs who are able to wring better performance out of less hardware resources are going to become more valuable in the future.
> Though I hope you validate that they are Unicode scalar values and not code points. Surrogates are terribad.

Yes, my mistake. I do mean scalar values. I am constantly confused about the terminology for unicode. (Unicode code point? Scalar values? (Character?) Surrogate pair? Is there a term for half of a surrogate pair?)
Think like ‘test flight.’

That is an incredibly strong assertion that evidence does not seem to support currently. So, you may take it on faith if you wish, however there is growing interest in the notion that creativity itself is that which is not systemetizable.
