That's one way they could do it, not quite free since they'd have to mask off the high address bits at each load/store, but that's probably cheaper than adding a full branch at every load/store.

I think the wasm spec would have to be amended for that to be legal though, currently out-of-bounds memory accesses must throw an exception one way or another, and silently dropping the high bits of addresses may turn an out-of-bounds access into an in-bounds access that doesn't throw.
I've been following the Tilt five AR sets, and frankly those look like a better advancement of social shared virtual reality tech. https://www.tiltfive.com/ They're targeted much more narrowly though.
There’s just not a lot left besides user experience and appearance for an OS to do.

Of course kennels and operating systems are highly complex and represent a ton of work… but what is left to impress with a press release?

My OS does everything I can imagine needing it to and the only thing I can imagine wanting it to do going forward is more or less just maintenance (UX/UI excluded)
>…as the iPhone and Apple Watch

I wanted both when they were announced. This looks looks like a thousand dollar aluminum monitor stand to me…basically something for Apple elitists with more money than good sense to buy to show off.
I think in some reactions, there's an element of "I can't justify this cost, so I want to convince myself I don't want it." I can't justify this early version, but at $1k I'd be quite happy to strap on the headset and cut myself off from the outside world in the evenings, or for some of my work.

I can absolutely see a future where many adults spend idle evenings with a headset instead of a TV or iPad.
If they did it as a supportive gesture, the irony would not be lost on me. Apple notoriously despises 3rd party clients. They don't even have a web client for iMessage.
Ha, just asked that! I think AI is pretty capable now to do 90% od moderation tasks, you can even have very few humans for the final verdict.
Prepare for VisionOS (Apple Vision)
This should link to the full albeit incomplete list: https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/1401qw5/incomplet...
Extra stunning because iOS already has some quite fine AR capabilities. This was such a freakish ommission.

At my most charitable, maybe they didn't want to take the risk. They don't know what they would do with those capabilities. AR isn't their thing, as a platform provider. They need developers to go build stuff. By not showing anything, they emphasize what they control, and they show only things they have power over.

In short, the omission keeps the narrative from getting out ahead of the horse.
All those phones did cost 200-300 IIRC. 500 was outrageously expensive. For this device it's 3500, will be much cheaper for non pro version plus production of critical components will scale up significantly. Sony can produce less than a million displays for that thing per year, it is understandable why they are expensive.

Neat. I'll check that out.

I actually picked up a copy of Cohen's book [0] on CH a few weeks ago. It's in my "actually going to read this" pile right now. Looks pretty accessible, even for an ersatz graph theorist/combinatorialist such as myself.
The whole point of this agreement is that nobody in the kid's social group would have phones. That's what makes this a good thing. It definitely would be a bad thing if only one family did this.
it's not about if you can but if you should

you should at least take a brake where you use your legs every hour or more often because if not it will noticeable increase the chance of blot clots in your veins and in turn stuff like heart attacks (long term wrong behavior leading to increased risk over the long term, no relevant per-case risk)

similar you should change the focus distance of you eyes often enough as it does reduce eye strain (similar light conditioning in your room) and the easiest way to do it is to look not at your screen e.g. when standing up and moving around (and if well done maybe the glasses from Apple can simulated depth in a way which does lead to changes in eye focus)

Having a walking band below your desk and looking around your room outside of the window or similar will also fix this issues quite efficiently, at the cost of being less lazy (and issues for people with certain kind of back issues).
The 'Fad Phase' has gone. Now there is the quiet background development phase. Things are still happening, but you won't hear about anything until such time as something is released. And then that release will be heralded as "New Object X' rather than 'just one of many IoT objects'.

In my opinion, most of these objects will have embedded intelligence based upon one of the many SBCs (arduino, raspberry pi, risc-v, etc) in the short-term until dedicated ICs can be manufactured to suit each particular object.

It'll be the old 'economies of scale' factor: when an object becomes a best-seller, it'll then become economic to use a dedicated IC to make a more compact, energy-efficient 'Thing'.
>The problem only comes in when these apps have failed to monetize subscriptions.

1. I'm not entirely sure if that's allowed in the Reddit API TOS to begin with (before this change).

2. There's too many alternative ways to browse reddit to really make headway as a subscription app. Including Reddit's official app and simply opening up the mobile website (even if Reddit does everything in its power to ruin the website experience on mobile. They REALLY want you using the app). I don't mind and have paid for ad-free versions of several 3rd party apps, but that's a single small payment.

3. this brings up a much larger issue forums have been going through for decades; is it really "right" to continually charge or content that is mostly user generated? I don't think people mind a one time payment for a stable release of what is ultimately a nicely designed web viewer. But beyond that?

There's many reasons why no app dev has thought of this. Legally, logistically, and even ethically.
Personally, I'd just feel weird asking people to pay me money every month when the overhead maintenance of my app (which I imagine is minimal. bug fixes and some small feature requests while MAYBE doing a bigger request every 6-12 months) isn't what's keeping them there, it's the ability to keep reading posts/comments submitted by users. How do I justify my price as a middleman unless I am delivery major releases every month or two?

>This is about Reddit users being too cheap to pay for something they want and used on a daily basis

I don't entirely disagree. But app/mobile has long since raced to the bottom, so that's an inevitable consequence.

Put it this way; if Reddit itself charged even 1$/month to comment/post, do you think people would stay? I think they'd flee off to Tiktok personally. Older users would try and rekindle older forums,but overall I don't think many would stay, even if $1/month is almost objectively a good deal for the content provided. There's too much other popular platforms that are "free". And if enough of the community gets pushed, they can migrate elsewhere. They ultimately hold the value.

I don't think this is the push, but it's always possible.
GP here. It's 12M because the displays are square, not 16:9, so there are more vertical pixels. This will look better than most existing headsets, but it's not enough to match flat displays. You can't think about it in terms of traditional monitors- this is 4k over your entire field of vision, which translates to monitor-sized objects at maybe 720p. That's why all the virtual screens in their demo are so big; they're very low density.

Remember the age of 768p laptops? It'll look like that.

That's where technological innovation comes from.

Currying with OOP:

res = x
.mult(2)
.add(1)
.sub(3)
.mod(x)

Currying with assignment operators:

res = x
res *= 2
res += 1
res -= 3
res %= x

Naming things instead of Currying:

scale = 2
offset = 1 - 3
with_scale = x * scale
with_offset = with_scale + offset
result = with_offset % x

Or aping that in Scheme:

(let* ((scale 2)
(offset (- 1 3))
(with_scale (* x scale))
(with_offset (+ with_scale offset)))
(remainder with_offset x))

I've long long long been a fan of wearable & ubiquitous computing. Having great gesture detection to do physical computing with would really be epic.
Largely right, but actually a lot of that stuff is still out there. The personal and hobby pages, forums, blogs, etc.

Google just doesn't know that they exist anymore, or rather doesn't want us to know, because those sites are not commercial enough or big enough.

Almost without fail, no matter what you search for, it tries its best to turn it into a search for a product or service. And those content oriented websites don't fit that, so it just pretends they don't exist.
I think it kinda goes back to "I'll ignore it for now and wait a few years if it's still around with a reasonable value proposition"

And I mean it in the most positive way: if it ever works out Apple will come out with a better headset year over year, and build a community around it, XR will have made it to the mainstream. If it doesn't pan out will have a data point on what fails, and get other products that skirt around these issues while providing compelling features on the parts that matter, we have enough competition to have the concept survive.

Either way it's a win, and I salute Apple for jumping in the pool.

>is what I reckon most people would call a "meow" or maybe a "yell"

Again, no. They refer to a different kind of purr that cats do when asking for something, distinct from a meow. A purr that most people might not even have noticed as it occurs next to (and between) meows.

And this special purr also has an embedded higher frequency component similar to a meow, as they explain, that they had to amplify and do some signal processing to hear properly.

It's funny how people are not willing to read the study (or read carefully), but would rather assume that scientists (and even worse: scientists studying cats) don't know what a meow and a purr is, and just use the terms incorrectly!

Absolutely, it's still my go-to for building web apps.

I've had a (now) 7-figure ARR platform running happily on PHP/CodeIgniter since 2013, and create any new apps with PHP/Laravel.
Laravel's ecosystem and community is just terrific, and it's the perfect backend for VueJS which I increasingly use these days.

PHP just does what it says on the tin. It's easy to install and configure, has a great package manager in Composer, and the performance gains over the last few years have been superb.
you can see the list of providers in the settings page, and you can add your own providers to the list (for example your local IPFS node) https://plebbit-test.netlify.app/#/settings/plebbit-options

the idea is that if there's 100 providers eventually, and only 1 needs to not censor you to get your content, then it's unlikely you will be censored

we plan on adding IPFS webrtc and webtransport at some point, to reduce the need and load on the ipfs gateways, and whatever new that comes out that can help the browser/mobile clients. For example https://iroh.computer/ seems promising

the desktop client is fully P2P, it bundles an IPFS node, and the only requests it makes are through the IPFS node. (technically it makes one request to github for default communities, but we will remove that at some point). Also if your community or username uses a human readable name (optional), then you need to resolve that name somehow, we can technically support any name system anyone makes, and that might or might not be P2P.
>If apple really believed this were a revolutionary product they would have done the entire keynote with every presenter wearing and using the device.

To what purpose? At best, we'd all get to see how the virtual eyes thing worked, and that's about it. You wouldn't see them do any interactions with it, even if they were replacing their teleprompters it would all be automated scrolling. So what would be the purpose of putting it on the presenter's faces?
F500 executives tend to have people who will show these presentations on big screens, in rooms they can just stroll into (and out of). And they don't want to strap anything to their face, particularly something that might (horror!) upset their carefully-placed hair.

That one is specifically annoying because "NSFW" is such a generic filter that doesn't always have something to do with sexual content.

Really excited to try this out. I have installed Picture This in the past but they push heavily for a subscription which makes no sense for me when I only identify a few plants per year. Their business model is awful given that I suspect most people don’t have a regular need to identify plants.
They said 'anywhere you look, so I'm guessing the FOV is nearly all the way around to your peripheral vision. If not, the first review to say 'pay $3500 to experience glaucoma' will torpedo the product entirely.
I'd guess if they owned the ecosystem (headset and keyboard) they could make for very accurate "pass through" showing the keyboard isolated over the background (arbitrarily change the desk surface, or have a floating keyboard, etc).

Agreed. Huge opportunity. Computing always has been about information spaces, and making those implicit informatics explicit & visible is highly interesting.

Apple notably didn't show a single collaborative capability, to my eye, the entire time. Everyone was inside their own pocket space. They went extra far to let people videoconferencing as normal while wearing it, preserving the current norms for shared connectivity.
Meaning it's an indication that Apple are interested in games and that more partners will come. This is not the last game-oriented move; anyone with any sense in the market is currently staying up late to think how to leverage this. The people who buy this are the customers you want.

I expect that expansion cards from Apple are going to be the way they differentiate the mac pro line. I'm betting that Apple is going to come out with discrete GPU's based on their integrated graphics and sell them as add-ons for the Pros for ML/AI workloads and likely to help with normal stuff like rendering in Autodesk/Adobe/Finalcut type apps.

That said, it isn't the bet I'd make if I was tasked with purchasing for a company. I'd get the studios in a reasonably high config and then sell them every 2-3 years and replace with newer model. You'd pass the pro's in perf pretty readily from CPU bumps alone and likely recoupe a lot of your investment.

> The thing about parking spaces is that they are usually where people are, so even if you're using arable land for calculation, a parking space isn't just randomly thrown down somewhere, it is condensed into places with lots of traffic.

This is completely the opposite of where most parking spaces actually are. Millions of them are attached to suburban homes, which is about as far from a condensed place with a lot of traffic as you can get without actually being in a corn field. Many more are attached to big box stores and strip malls in low density areas. None of these matter to what happens in a city or what city-adjacent land is zoned to allow, except insofar as some of the areas are only low density because that's all they're zoned for. But if they were rezoned then they wouldn't be parking lots anymore.

The same criticism was made towards the trashcan, and it sure didn't revolutionize the high end computing world.

I also don't see Apple taking the world by storm with this device, but it probably could fit into the same niche as the AirPod Max, a device that provides what a specific audience wants and won't care that much about what it costs. Which is arguably a sizeable amount of people when it comes to the Apple ecosystem, allowing niche products to survive.
My old man purchased a Huawei smartphone from China a few years back, I took a look at it last year as a potential hand-me-down and I noticed that a "Covid health" application system had been installed into the OS itself and couldn't be removed.

But if you were in a blue state, taking the first lock-down really seriously, were you less likely to want to decide that that now was a good time to try to have a kid, when the world is in crisis and the hospitals might be scary to go to? Would you feel less like having sex even if you have a partner b/c you've both been in the house together for way too much time? Or because you're stressed from the world being upside-down? Or if you already had a child, were you more exhausted from trying to do both childcare and WFH? Would you be less likely to have a whirlwind encounter with a new partner that turns into an unexpected pregnancy b/c you're sheltering in place? I'm guessing we don't have data on any of these but I think the baby bust is entirely understandable if you're in an environment that's taking a global pandemic really seriously.
