Well, it works for me right now... but that will surely change. I'll just make smaller and smaller functions until I need to get a bigger screen, haha.
true - now i see it.
When it goes on sale.

I don't think Apple has ever had public demos of products not yet available for sale.
I’ve owned both windows and Apple computers, quite many of them, over the last 20 years. On average, the Apple machines last at least twice as long as the windows machines while still being fully usable. One could argue just based on that basic math that they are worth twice the price.
I agree with the critique about recording videos using the headset — what an odd experience that will be. But I also assume a future iPhone will be able to record these 3d videos and photos.
We build a lot of infra/async logic to make controlling devices more reliable, handle long-running jobs...etc. So a simple library wouldn't quite work.

With respect to the value prop, most of our API customers are software apps that need to connect to their users' devices. They can't, or don't want, to handle build auth flows, deal with device disconnection, unreliable cloud APIs, doing BD with device manufacturer...etc. Tbh, it's pretty much the same reason that made Plaid popular with the fintech ecosystem.
What else can I add? You've seen my interactions here.

Does it seem to you like the kind of person you’re interacting with is reasonable here but unreasonable to the point of group toxicity elsewhere? Or that I'm unreasonable here?
Well overall if you sum up what even a basic m1 mb air packs, be it the panel, quality peripherals and soc itself its rather reasonable and within reach for almost anyone contemplating of buying a new computer. When you factor in that they were the first ones with an actual capable desktop arm offer I'd even say its cheap.

At least this is how I felt 2 years ago back when I bought it and more or less even to this day. I'm wondering how is the market as of now, two years later, and how the $1k arm laptops coming out today compare.
Ask HN: SMS and MMS Testing Platform?
I want to be able to test a messaging application by sending and receiving MMS and SMS from carriers (ATT, TMO, VZN) regularly throughout the day. So far I have encountered different problems with different solutions.

1.Building an android app that sends and receives messages and a server that checks the status of everything and reports it. Problem: Eventually the batteries expand on the phones and I cant find any modern phones that can run w/o a battery

2. Using https://smseagle.eu/store/en/devices/28-smseagle-nxs-9700-4g.html. Problem: The product is awful and support is worse. They use https://github.com/gammu/gammu which no longer has a maintainer so they sorta kinda maintain it. I don't have the resources to volunteer to be the maintainer and put it on my own hardware.

3. Use twillio. Problem: Not only is this expensive, but it doesn't test what I really want. I want to test sending and receiving from the actual telecom biggies.

Any suggestions? I am getting desperate enough to consider soldering something into a phone to trick it that it has a battery and want to know if there is a better way before I dig that deep.
iPhone one was $500 when the average phone was $200. It was an upmarket device that eventually got cultural acceptance and reduced in price when produced at mass market scale.
The Playing Field of Hogwarts
And with computers there was a divide between those willing to learn to program and those using the applications that were programmed...whats your point? The majority of society needs a pretty big level of abstraction to be willing to use something.
> He acted, in conjunction with the state, to ruin this guy's (and his family's) life there.

and yet, all Mr. Beaudet had to do to stop his life being ruined is to stop keying his mic/follow the rules. but he did not. in fact, given that this appears to be his 3rd FCC enforcement action, it appears he has been doing this for many years.

do you consider Mr. Beaudet's actions to be "morally wrong"?

LLMs are also capable of analyzing, describing, and debugging software. There have been several papers published on this. So I wouldn't worry too much about any new buggy software being produced. In a few years, LLMs will probably be issuing PRs on your repos to fix things you haven't gotten around to or noticed yet.
React is a component library.

Angular.js is a framework.

Next.js is also a framework.

Comparing apples to apples, then you should compare Angular.js to Next.js, and not React.
I can keep USD in a bank or money market account and get more USD out of it, just like I can for Solana or Ethereum. I'm currently earning like 3% on one of my accounts. It might not seem that way because we've had zero percent interest rates for so long and banks have had their rates at like 0.01% or something super low, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Also the value of the USD changes relative to other currencies all the time. There was a time where you needed 2 USD to get 1 British pound, but right now it's 1.25 british pounds for a dollar (i.e. the USD has increased in value compared to the british pound). There are people that make serious money just from trading between foreign currencies at the right time.
I don't think there's any question who has jurisdiction. The SEC and CFTC have both agreed it's the CFTC:

The article is mostly about these trends coming to small-town America, not crime-ridden inner cities. If crime rises to the level where these measures become a necessity in certain areas I can understand that. But normalizing these policies as typical day-to-day operations of officers nationwide regardless of local circumstances is unhealthy, they've been needlessly militarized too much already.
Maybe it's because Facebook's "move fast" culture, enforced by their performance review processes, isn't conducive to making a "halo" product. Apple's more authoritarian culture has its downsides, I'm sure, but one upside is that engineers don't have to take detours twice a year to produce intermediate results that will survive selfish criticism from their more short-term-focused peers.
I was talking with a Googler on Mastodon the other day who was astonishingly ignorant about how his own product works and blaming me for it. If they were going to put a definition for "gaslighting" in the dictionary it might be good to put in Google's product evangelism in as an example. There was that time I met Bing's developer evangelist for search at a conference and told him that if he was Matt Cutts I would have called room service and ordered a cream pie.
I would expect this to be modelled after the API for password managers, in which case there's no vetting or whitelisting. Or if there is, it's pretty open as a lot of software uses it, both closed and open source.
This. I'm imagining having my triple 27-inch 4K displays on the go with my MacBook while also being compact and fit into my computer bag.

$3500 for that? I'm game. I paid more than that for my home desk and just the ability of having a massive display at my disposal on the go makes that price tag look no brainer.

Honestly I'm shocked it's only $3500
Yeah, since Chrome doesn't support it, why would anyone use it? It's a chicken and egg problem
Appreciate this! I did see some plastic ones around this price range, I guess it was just a bit more than I expected to pay. I noticed that this one just has leads- did you wire it into a plug yourself? Any concerns around doing that in a waterproof way?

I often find that "prototyping" these types of projects is fairly easy, but making them into a "product" that looks good and will be reliable is much much more difficult.

It's preferable to the alternative: cash-negative rural departments ("we don't need government", etc) funding themselves. Much rather have a robot policing me than the local ex-quarterback who could just barely be bothered to finish his GED. And yes, I know the retort, "well at least I know that guy". Yeah, ok sure. But does your daughter? Your girlfriend? Your wife's family? Corruption climbs a ladder of familiarity, and you don't ever know where you are on that ladder. That's what makes it wasteful.

Drones are a band aid, of course. Until exurbs realize just how expensive they actually are - people insisting on an urban quality of life when they're 90 minutes from a center - this same problem will crop up over, and over, and over again in everything from sewage to schools. That tends to happen when you ignore numbers - you keep ramming into a like category of problems. In a larger sense, from a systems perspective, I guess I am fascinated by those cases where people do this ramming, and where they keep doing it for decades or centuries. What force makes that happen, and can it be harnessed?
Eventually if anything is popular enough it attracts, advertisers, corporations, govts, spammers, influencers and what not.
It's true from Reddit, to AI and crypto.
Enjoy stuff while it's new, even if all the apps reroute to a new backend, it will still be the same again. Probably not instantly but eventually.
Your solution isn’t a solution.

Please answer the question:

How is Reddit supposed to make money with increased load and demand for its content?
This is of course an obvious side effect of having to protect one's criminal resources from as large a potential criminal threat as the state does without the state's resources.
What is amazing to me is that no matter how much a company makes, you can't change its DNA. Facebook can never build a good physical product, no matter how much money they throw at it. Google can never make a good piece of software, though they can have very strong backend engineering for it, and so on.

That is why people talk about culture a whole lot and why it is so important. I wonder if the culture is set and can never be changed though. Is it an immutable property of companies based on initialization?

This recent event also made me aware that the Ukrainian men that I see daily here in the streets of Bucharest have not run away from the Russians, but from some of their fellow Ukrainians.
If you opened an exchange and did nothing but trade bitcoin, and only bitcoin, you would be free and clear, but there is no real money in that. Coinbase argued a few years ago they were losing to competition because their competitors could do a lot of gray area stuff they couldn't to do being a US-based traded company. Getting listed on Coinbase used to be the gold standard of a trusted, respectable crypto, but they at some point decided screw it and just embraced the coming legal challenges.
This is starting to feel like the IE6 situation.

1. Someone comes up with a cool feature.

2. Browser developer refuses to incorporate it since "No
one uses it!". Pushes developed in-house technology instead.

3. No one uses the feature as a result. "See no one wants it!"

4. Competitors start to implement the feature

5. ???

Windiws is anything but fine. WSL is a direct admission of that. Don't waste your life using subpar tools, switch to a proper, user respecting OS.
I'm sure that is often the case, and often not the case, judging by the glorification of violence and killing common with police today.

It's important to differentiate being brave enough to put yourself in harm's way vs. glorifying violence. Policing requires the first one, not the second. Unfortunately, while the latter is seen often in officers, Uvalde showed us that the former may not be.

and speaking for myself, yes, very much so, that domestic drone killing was a dark day for the country and a harbinger of things to come
Also, hand movements lack tactile feedback. This makes them very useless for a lot of tasks.

Even with my Quest 2 I notice the lack of push back in the hand controllers during motion, for things like flying games, and fps makes it very difficult to use. You almost always need an attachment to make it feel better.
Jobs stated goal for the first gen iPhone was to have 1% market share in the phone market in the first year. They barely made it. It definitely was a raging success
Actually Neuralangelo from NVidia looks pretty cool too: https://research.nvidia.com/labs/dir/neuralangelo/
The problem is even deeper than lack of trust/privacy.

It's that Meta's business model optimises for the wrong thing.

M$ optimises for pleasing employers. Meta & Google optimise for pleasing advertisers. Amazon optimises for cheapness.

Only Apple actually optimises for pleasing consumers, with amazing products.

It would require a fundamental pivot in company strategy, their raison d'être.
I seriously doubt people are going to walk into a bar and get punched with Vision Pro on their heads. Apple had years to look at everything everyone else did wrong.

This is a personal bias. I've made $86,000 trading Ethereum. My brother-in-law made $24,000 trading Bitcoin. My reality is different from your reality ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can't speak for Celsius, Voyager, and FTX. If there was a scam, it has to be punished. No questions asked. But Coinbase has been closely working with SEC for years.
20% is $200 for a "movie ticket".

macOS 14 will support JPEG XL:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36202088
CPU wise at least its been on par if not better from its first days. At least this is what the various benchmarks at the time showed.

Makes you wonder about how the rest of the system components will compare when they're finished.
This is an area with the specs contrast with the vendors.

The WebAuthn specs recommends to register multiple passkeys/credentials per device and assume that once a credential is lost it might not be recoverable.

Apple and other vendors using keychains/wallets are effectively offering the option to delegate the recovery of the passkey to the recovery of the account with them (eg: the iCloud account).

In case it is of interest, we wrote a long blogpost on the topic: https://www.slashid.dev/blog/passkeys-security-implementatio...
There have been multiple reports of the last couple years that Apple has been informally internally helping the Asahi Linux team to make it run well on their hardware. Apple cannot come out and officially support another operating system of course, but they are aware of the interest and are helping make it happen, in an unofficial capacity.
I don't think many people have much of an issue with it at the base level. Creating threads to drive engagement on hypothetical issues, made up humor/ragebait stories, etc. are pretty harmless in itself.

But when the actions are done in an attempt to trick individuals weighing financial incentives? That becomes much more murky. Had they bootstrapped these communities prior to the IPO filing? Fine. After the spotlight is on them to prove organic growth for the IPO? Murky.
U.S. had intelligence of detailed Ukrainian plan to attack Nord Stream pipeline
it's not like these onramps served the real purpose of digital currency. People don't buy bitcoin in order to pay for services, they buy it to speculate. Bitcoin could succeed even without onramps; digital workers can easily accept bitcoin if they care, which over time will be traded with goods in the physical world with other people who care. That's grass roots deployment, not VC-backed "legitimate" ponzi exchanges.

I do however understand why people are mad. To me it seems that crypto is to GenZ what Real estate was to boomers. It's about building generational wealth in a time of extreme inequality where most other avenues have been closed. It may come back for that, but it has to be built outside the confines of state-regulated money systems
TBH I do think people in tech for more than a few years shouldn't need an explanation for who Jensen is.
Noise reduction techniques sometimes channel or reflect noise instead of absorbing it, so it is only quieter for some people in some areas and louder for others.
The author was shown far more than a 10 second clip. He along with John Gruber got to do a full hands on demo. They talk more about it in their (paid) Dithering podcast.
I think the big difference since the recent threads is the news that Apple is adding support for JPEG XL to Safari.

For HEIC, I understand, but it's weird that they are the only ones supporting JPEG XL while it is a royalty free open standard and the open source browsers don't support it.
it's simple to test: send a little. if it's legit it will work. who is gonna send entire stash in one tx to a site?
Reddit has had a mobile website that worked very well for years (Since the beginning?) They disabled it about a month ago to funnel everybody to the "new" mobile site, which barely works and serves only to funnel users into the app.

It's not sloppy or poor craftsmanship, it's intentional.
It’s a slippery slope though, one doesn’t even need to be hyperbolic, like why not just have the drones always flying around instead of only as a responder?
It is slightly different in a better way. You can interact, engage and otherwise participate in events while recording using the headset than you can with a camcorder or phone. I'm guessing, but obviously don't know, that Apple let's people "see" your eyes while you use the headset because it makes it more natural for others to interact with you while you are using the headset.
This looks interesting, I'll take a flyer. Good luck!
Much of military technology is the art of maximizing damage potential while minimizing harm risk. This has been true from the era of mounted cavalry to remote operated drones.
I find it very unlikely that they would imprison, essentially, the entire remaining pre-2014 population of Crimea on the sole basis of having received a Russian passport. It's going to be a large problem in the occupied territories as well, as people have been refused medical care and other necessities unless accepting a Russian passport or in some cases threatened and tortured. Separating out those who were under genuine duress from those who enthusiastically accepted is an intractable problem, so the bar would need to be set somewhat higher.

Given that 10+ million Ukrainians have lost their homes or forced to relocate, entire destroyed cities, the extensive mining of Ukrainian territory etc. it is difficult to be especially sympathetic to non-Crimean Russian settlers who might lose their property.
> I've made $86,000 trading Ethereum

That's not the problem.

The problem is that companies like Celsius, FTX, and Voyager are disappearing and collapsing.

Binance and Coinbase are two other companies that could just randomly disappear because of how incredibly sketchy their products are (especially "Earn" or "Staking" products).

I'm pointing out companies that collapse (taking literally Billions of American money away). And you're just coming in here saying "But I made money on something totally unrelated", as if its a good argument?

> This is a personal bias.

I'll proudly be biased in favor of reality. There's nothing wrong with taking a stance when my real world friends get affected.

> I can't speak for Celsius, Voyager, and FTX. If there was a scam, it has to be punished. No questions asked. But Coinbase has been closely working with SEC for years.

Coinbase is doing the same thing as Celsius, Voyager, and FTX with their Earn / Staking products. And now the SEC is suing them over it.

There's a pattern here. And I for one, am glad that the SEC is no longer fickle and is trying to be proactive about it. Trying to get American money out of these dangerous instruments before they collapse, rather than after (when its too late).
The 1st generation iPhone was successful.

And it cost an unheard of $900 in 2023 money. The internet was awash in people howling that nobody would ever pay that much for a phone.

Yet here we are today.

(I still have my launch day iPhone!)
> If "crypto" can't exist without crime, that's hardly the SEC's fault.

Bitcoin doesn't fall under the securities definition, so they can't go after that, at least not in this way.
Yes I did read it. This IS my day to day work!

What do other designer/devs here do for day to day work??
I assume GP means that the measurements would be exposed (at some helpful level of abstraction, plus also the raw data say) by the Apple Vision.

> "When it comes to Big Tech, France previously has been on the heavy-handed side of regulation, seeking to impose new rules on U.S. cloud giants before the EU, for example, and coming up with a flurry of content-regulation laws."

Macron can turn around in a matter of hours. Many of his prime ministers and EU partners, have had a painful experience of this.
Apple benefits greatly from the fact that "journalists" are some of their most devoted fans. That gets them free coverage that's wildly disproportionate in both volume and positivity. Not to say they don't make good products - I have to admit that they do - but they escape a lot of harsh scrutiny that other companies have to deal with. Terminally online techies are another core demographic, resulting in a similar skew on social media sites like ... <looks around> ... um, Reddit.
“`os` is bad, don’t use it.” Ok, but why? What’s wrong with it?
I think only Apple could have released such a headset and not been laughed off the stage.

And beyond that, we're talking about a hardware platform that only exists for Apple. Meta isn't in a position to spin up a fab and out perform Qualcomm. What are the alternatives?

I think you're grossly underestimating how easy this win is.
