s/they're forced to/they get value out of it/

People wear things on their face 16 hours a day because they provide value. A portable substitute for a monitor that also supports arbitrary multitasking and immersion is (potentially) valuable.
They already have a comparable feature for iMessages. So far, i haven’t heard of any abuses.

The difference here is that phone numbers can be spoofed much easier than iMessage accounts, so you can (maybe??) spoof this system.
I don’t think Steve would have liked the cable to a battery brick. I’m not sure this new device is a good example of the Apple Way.
> The price tag: more than $20 billion

20 billion dollars? One would think Brazil has nothing better to do than care for a goddamn jungle. I can think of far better uses for that money.
I totally agree with you. Ads have influenced everything they’ve done since. It’s like a brilliant, talented individual who has been addicted to heroin for a decade.
People seem to falsely equate liberal with leftwing. They are very different. In fact no one hates liberals quite like left wingers. Democrats are liberal, not leftist (though they have adopted some leftist bits)

Liberals (and neoliberals) want everything controlled by markets. The government should butt out and collect no more taxes than is reasonably needed to set and enforce the market rules. Everything else should be private. Not too different from libertarians except that they have more common sense.

Leftists want the government to have an opinion and directly act and spend money in order to achieve specific outcomes. If there are many homeless, don't try to influence the market to increase supply or drop price, just directly go and build houses. If we need clean energy, don't dick about with carbon credits and incentives, just go and hire some engineers and build wind turbines.

Liberals and leftists are opposites not synonyms.
Is it the median cost for a trial or for all trials that a company does? A company might have many trials going on at once, of greater or lesser costs, but revenue is an aggregation of everything over a year. A company with $100 million in revenue and 10 trials ongoing and a company with a $1 billion in revenue and 10 trials ongoing would possibly lead one to specific conclusions, but even when it's broken down that much it doesn't really mean anything for the examples presented, because the mean cost of the trials that the company in question has ongoing could be entirely different. The 10 trials the $100 million revenue company is administering could average $1 million, and the 10 trials the $1 billion company is administering could cost 80 million each, by nature of the types of drugs they and markets they are aiming for.

It could also be that there's lots of low cost trials around $20 million, but slightly less than half of the trials that are done are very expensive, and 4-5 times the cost. This would be more obvious if there were values for bot mean and median, instead of just median.

The looser the data, the less you can actually infer. Any time someone tells me the median cost for something across an entire industry, my immediate reaction is to wonder what that means, not assume I actually know what it means, because it's far too little data to really know. How many trials are done in a year on average? How many a year do companies average based on revenue? Or simple, what's the actual amount spent on trials compared to revenue, and over how many years are those trials run? Is yearly cost of a trial really a good indicator, if trials take 5-10 years to run, so a failed one results in not just loss of money spent but opportunity cost over many years?

Note: If you provided a reference for that median number I would have actually looked it up to see if it made sense to me, or if I had additional questions about how they went about their measurements. Instead, all I have a questions about what the numbers mean because I have no context.
There is the legal risk (it's illegal).

Also, its a bad practice for, well, a lot of reasons. You assume that all balances are positive, and that they haven't used that account for auditing purposes, or to commit some plain old investor fraud by claiming to have more cash than they do. What happens if the balances aren't recorded accurately?

There's a million reasons that commingling funds is incredibly bad practice.

What?!

> The common law derives from the medieval !Anglosaxon! feudal law, which is based on contracts, agreements, negotiations and precedents

This is the !very first! statement of the opening paragraph of my comment. Why are you saying that I have not said it. Have you not read the actual comment?

> Why would they exist conceptually if they're not relied upon?

Why would they be relied upon if they exist, even further, why would they be the basis of the actual law?

In civil law, the law always supersedes anything else, including any agreement that any party makes among themselves. The agreements, contracts that parties makes in between themselves cannot affect the law and its decrees in any way, and actually any contract itself must be made precisely as how the law outlines them to be made and what permits them to have. To put it in historic terms, in civil law contracts exist because the law says they can exist and tells precisely how will they exist and to what extent, whereas in common law the contractual agreements that the parties made among themselves all the way going back to Magna Carta are the basis of the entire body of law - with Magna Carta being a contractual agreement in itself.

Also, regarding the below comment of yours:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36205790

I will respond to that comment here because HN rate limits me, making any productive discussion totally infeasible, which is why I almost totally stopped participating on this platform. Seeing how it makes actual discussions impossible, I should altogether stop participating here. But here goes the reply:

> the paper probably isn't what you were hoping for.

The term exists, its an important term in history, political science, diplomacy for a very long while, the very Cambridge university uses it itself. At this point you should be aware that even you would be able to find many references using the term. So dont sweat it. The rest of the world is not going to stop using it just because you people have a beef with some country that uses it.

...

At this point, seeing that you have claimed that I said various things I have not said and also claimed that I didnt say things that are the very first things that I said, I have no other option but to conclude that you are an insincere debater. Which concludes our discussion since I will spare both of us of a potential unproductive discussion by disengaging...

> For Apple to break into the VR games space they'll have to woo both serious gamers and large game studios, both of which seem extremely unlikely given the huge cultural disconnect.

I have no idea if Vision Pro will ultimately be successful, but I'd easily bet that game developers would be willing to come on board. Is there anyone that really disagrees that this is the most impressive piece of consumer VR tech to be released so far? Wouldn't game devs be chomping at the bit to put that technological power to use?
I find copilot hallucinate so many variable names, function names, etc that I find it borderline at best for generating code.

I spent about and hour debugging before I realised copilot had put two function arguments in backwards, f(b,a) instead of f(a,b). Yes I should have read it more clearly, but after 4h of working, it just slipped through.

Copilot has "intelisense++" is more useful, but even then the ux is kinda horrible where it inserts random extra quotes at the end of strings and whatnot.

Copilot chat/gpt4/bingai is a lot lot better, but it needs to be integrated into vscode and actually be aware of the entire code base.
We have multiple TVs in our house. After the kids are asleep, my wife will watch her preferred shows on an iPad in bed (or second screen while working) despite there being a TV in the room. I can see people using the headset like this.

Even when the kids are awake, if granted screentime, more often than not they split off and watch/play completely different things. They'll usually only watch the same thing on the same screen if we insist, usually watching a documentary or telling them to watch the same movie together. Otherwise, their different tastes prevail.
The battery has to be comfortable wear, so I'm hoping it's closer to 40Wh/10Ah than the airline maximum 100Wh/27Ah bricks the laptop class is used to.

Two hours seems fine to me, if the battery is indeed reasonable size. Knowing Apple though they're going to spit in the EU face & require Apple MFi Usb-c certified batteries or some shit, cause that's the shitty shit Apple does.
You're right that this can't explain the drop. It can only explain the relative rise in red, arguably, if they had less access to unplanned short term expedient contraception, as a routine form of contraception.

Uhhhh, how is Common Lisp COBOL-style?
This is very basic but I read both at a young age and I'm massively happy I did.

1st one being "Thinking fast and slow" by Daniel Kahneman - completely reshaped my model of how much we are in control of our thought process.

2nd one was "Thus spoke Zarathustra" by Nietzsche - which is a very difficult read. Overall Nietzsche's approach to philosophy just immediately resonated with me and sent me down a path of thought that's still the foundation of my world model today. The whole approach of seeing life as inherently meaningless so meaning can be chosen at will was a great thing to have growing up.
You definitely don't need to read the book to get there though - just reading a summary of what Nietzsche is about will probably be enough.
I think a modded PS4 fits the shoe quite well, if you ignore the need to run a web browser exploit each time you want to boot Linux (like a "semi-untethered jailbreak" for the iOS nerds)

> liberals have abandoned the working class and become the party of the establishment elite

Things like this are just stated as fact around here while any criticism of conservatives is immidiately flagged.

HN, like Twitter, has been taken over by rightwingers.
By comparing the genomes of the social snub-nosed monkeys with genomes from less-social related monkeys, known as odd-nosed monkeys, and with those of more distant primate relatives, Qi and his colleagues identified genes that seem to be connected with the formation of large multilevel societies. The group found that changes in climate more than six million years ago drove the monkeys’ social structure to shift from small groups with one male and a few females to complex societies with multiple males and females.

In other words, in high risk environments, having social mechanisms to allow for the sharing of risk across more individuals effectively mitigates aggregate risk and thus benefits survival.

Reminds me of the period of evolution of corporate structure in European history from financing spice trade voyages.

PS. On the subject of evolution, if you ever get a chance to visit Western Australia, the location of one of the co-authoring academic, its plants are AWESOME due to isolated evolution from Gondwanaland.

Regardless of whether it's doomed to fail, the content these "computer advances" are creating on the site is definitely garbage at the present time. I've flagged hundreds of posts, mostly brand-new users attempting to rep farm. A huge percentage of the answers are flat-out incorrect or have little to do with the question.

Banning all moderation without consulting the community is not a step towards coexistence, it's a step towards turning the site into a dumping ground for stale LLM spew in the name of engagement.

Companies like Stack Overflow seem to care less about the quality and accuracy of the site's content as long as the engagement numbers look good. Unfortunately, a lot of users don't seem to care about quality, either, which is how we've wound up with the current state of affairs where just about every social platform is increasingly flooded with bot spam, misinformation, scams and junk.

By banning low-quality posts, including unverified LLM answers, the site can secure a future for itself as a bastion of quality. Or it can turn its back on the experts that built the content that's used to train the LLMs and hope that LLM quality improves enough that expert humans aren't necessary.

Even if that gamble works out for them and LLMs do mostly replace humans as some commenters optimistically seem to expect, then there'll still be no need for Stack Overflow, as one can simply ask an LLM directly. That's why effectively dumping human experts for LLMs seems like a failed business model either way. The best approach to move forward seems to be to carve out a space that provides unique value that LLMs can't and ride that until LLMs make significant advances.

Disclosure/context: I'm a daily SO answerer on strike, among the top ~4k users by rep overall. I'm pretty sure most folks who are dismissing the problem don't monitor tag feeds or curate queues enough to see the flood of blatantly wrong LLM answers spamming in from new accounts.
it's converted of course, and I don't do it myself (as in sell at exchange into my bank account and then pay, as that defeats the point) but it's not exactly a service either.

I don't live where my username implies, in case you're wondering.
Agreed. I tried to dig around a bit in the pdf (though I am admittedly distracted at the moment) and it looked like a tree walk interpreter being built. At least at first. There were some sections involving x86 assembly, so it may eventually compile down to that architecture in later segments?

If anyone knows more about the style of copmiler(s) that this covers I would be interested in knowing. If I find the time to dig through the book a bit more and find out I'll update here.
This, totally. I’m interested to see how this compares with the Varjo offerings wrt foveated rendering.

Reading text in VR is generally a horrible experience, and “4K per eye” does not equal even a single 4K screen.

That said I would be happy with 8 1080p screens.

The proposed model is fatal for them so I'm not sure how anything else could be worse.
All of this is true, but my biggest complaint is the only really good use case other than games for this sort of tech is immersing yourself in a bunch of terminals in VR, and they even botched that what with it not being a real OS that can run traditional dev environments and only allowing you to embed one mac screen in the whole thing. Like who wants to sit around in a glorified iOS all day and essentially screen cast your one mac screen into there? I should be able to have my vscode window to my left, browser to my right, more terminals to the side and above, etc..

This is going to very quickly become the product that allows CEOs and other megalomaniacs to sit on the couch for three hours watching photo albums of their accomplishments or whatever it is they alluded to. I can see why they went for the $3500 price tag, this is basically an admission that there isn't mass-market appeal for non-gaming VR stuff at the moment, so might as well get $$$ and make it a status symbol for the C suite. The problem is all the people within apple who sanity test this idea, are also those types..

This is not the category disruption they made this out to be.
Coding by voice is pretty doable, actually! Check out Talon if you're interested.
So, naturally, the solution here is that folks continue being underpaid? I'm yet to see a case here that research-based institutes will have a worse union or one that cannot take action because of a bizarre self-interest argument about being scooped by someone in another institute (or country, as I was expecting someone to bring up eventually)? I'm still awaiting the non-union solution here, which is what exactly?

>The frequent (incredibly petty) fights I've seen over publication authorship order demonstrate otherwise.

The frequent acts of collaboration despite people having witnessed other fights (virtually no paper is authored by a single lab any more), the lending and replacing of reagents, the frequent informal discussions around a project between peers without an expectation of significant co-authorship, informal mentorship ,etc., argue that people continue to work as a community because it lends greater success to grants and publications. The individualistic argument really does not hold water, sorry.
it's also mind blowing to know that there are things which really haven't changed in over a billion years, yet still do just fine. How did my bio prof say it? "Bacteria are like the race cars of the biological world. They don't win by having the best strategy, they win by rate of duplication and acquisition."
This is use of the word "bricked" which is a novel inverse of my normal understanding. To me a "bricked" device has been corrupted in core boot so bad, even JTAG may not get it back. It's the unusable state.

"rooted" is the more normal description of 'I got to install some code on it which the original vendor did not want me to be able to install' surely?

Or has geek english moved on to invert the greybeard meaning of "bricked" ?
Another Hard Disagree. I put everything thing in writing. If it’s not written down it didn’t happen.

Want access to prod? Sure give me a ticket. I don’t trust any place that doesn’t want things written down.

And the example of a drug trial comment being taken out of context? If it looks bad in a few years maybe it should also look bad now? And maybe steps should be taken to make it better now.

Writing things down, keeping copies of emails is the only way to hold management accountable.
You literally can though, did you watch the presentation?
I think it's the other way around -- they expect it will be used for work, so want to focus on hyping it as consumer.

Enterprise will take care of enterprise.

Better to invest the marketing dollars and mindshare on consumer, because that's where they're going to get the volume.
I use noscript and while normally I’d agree with you about the number of reqs to 3rd party domains being an inverse indicator of quality, I think in this case it just means the client application is marshalling its own connections to broader p2p system without a fancy experience api layer.
That's a different discussion and should have wide ramifications with way more nuance that "allowed" or "not allowed", if suddenly tomorrow Adobe or any other were able to create a model that is able to replace any existing job position how we should it be managed? The societal ramifications are complex, is not binary and should be discussed by politicians and intellectuals, not by corp marketing teams.
We have data: all the marketing materials they released are data. It is perfectly reasonable to look at what they have put out as "these are the use cases we're explicitly highlighting" and find them wanting. Especially because it's not a new class of product. Many of the people bringing criticisms have used past products in this space, and these are their criticisms of those products. This is not some hypothetical thing, VR headsets already exist. This looks like a very solid, probably class leading, iteration on the product, but it's still just an iteration.
In particular, there were stories about pregnant women being especially vulnerable to severe Covid. Those stories probably got a lot more attention in blue states and instilled more fear accordingly (rightly or wrongly).
Giving the total number of pixels is actually more honest, compared to competitors who claim that 2Kx2K*2 is a 4K headset

23 million is comfortably more than 4K resolution per eye, putting this at one of if not the highest resolution of any headset. It seems like they are telling the whole truth when they say you can view a 4K virtual screen on this - there is enough resolution headroom

That said, the lack of FOV is suspicious. Between that, the lack of proper VR game demos and the focus on virtual monitors, I get the feeling this headset will have poor FOV traded for sharpness across the whole image and reduced nausea
What a load of crap.

Because we have this philosophy that people can and should provide for themselves you can just list an arbitrary number of examples of this idea as a whatabout to the state encouraging you to kill yourself to save money? There are maybe 3 things in your list of made up nonsense that actually qualify as real, distinct problems caused by the state or culture. None of those are as bad as encouraging homeless people or troubled teenagers to kill themselves because it's cheaper. Its sick. We both live in very sick societies, but your stramwen don't excuse Canada's absolutely disgusting cultural shift in this regard.

I don't think it's hit people (including me) that this is not just a headset. It's a full-blown computer.

You can take just the device and a keyboard with you to work anywhere.
I wouldn't worry. Banks are strong. No weakness in that sector

Because they have to hire those 1000 people and all that entails? They will have to weight if it's worth it to pay that many people, and if in the future they ever want to generate even more images they have to hire them again, instead of just re-running a program which costs them near nothing. The more I think about it the less similar are both processes.
Sure but I’m having a hard time imagining a scenario where a full blown OCI (i assume youll run it with kubelet/nomad) is required on such a constrained hardware and simple nspawn or systemd container won’t do
