>Getting back to true reality

I agree and disagree with this at the same time. Does true reality mean tossing ourselves out in the plains of Africa with a stick fighting off wild animals? I mean ever since that point human intelligence has been on a divergent path from animal intelligence. We create fields and towns and societies that subject us to new realities. Why is one particularly different from another?

At the same time individual divergent realities means society stops existing. What will society look like if we have our own individual universes we can occupy? If you want to take this to an extreme, one could imagine a matrix we voluntarily hook ourselves up to where the machines are left to care for the physical world.
I feel like there's a missed opportunity to continue with the iDevice trend...

They should definitely raise that with management, and it should be appropriately compensated.

See what I did there? I correctly made it a problem between the staff and management, rather than making it the customer's problem. This is actually the answer to all tipping/under-compensation problems.

Hm. While crime statistics are intentionally nerfed in the United States, this doesn’t seem to be true here.

No I’m talking about this one’s person’s experience. They are putting out their notion of cause and effect on a public forum and I am questioning it. That is OK, right?
Coinbase's opinion on the matter is pretty irrelevant to determining what is and isn't a security. The fact that they tried to get the SEC to tell them what they were doing was or wasn't allowed (never mind the fact the SEC likely had an ongoing investigation that prevented them from commenting in the first place) is wholly irrelevant to the fact they were actively breaking the law.
One of these... Yes let me scroll down and copy and paste a comment just for you. If you are actually interested, you put in the effort yourself, otherwise we both move on.
> teach computers how to understand, synthesize, and generate knowledge in ways similar to how people do it.

Rephrasing proposed: enable computers to synthesize and generate knowledge without the slightest glimmer of understanding, in ways completely different from anything humans do. FTFY.

The sheer volume of work of 'just' creating and maintaining a C++-like compiler, highly performant cuBLAS, cufft, cuSOLVER, cuDNN with very high perf, all by their lonesome in closed source shows how far one would have to go to even eat parts of their lunch.

We (who want a real alternative to NVIDIA) either find a way to pool global resources applicable to this level kind of effort on all new accelerator architectures, or we wait for them to stumble, Intel-like. Intel and AMD not pooling their resources on this is self-defeating.

Show HN: Swipes AI – Easily more attractive photos to get more swipes on Tinder
Well Apple is only expecting less than 1M units to be sold. Must such a niche product be designed for every variation of human? Seems reasonable that if you fall outside of the most common human forms by enough standard deviations then you're just out of luck.
Seems like naive reasoning in a world where such messages can easily be taken out of context. Imagine a lawsuit about a car malfunction leading to death and someone digs up some source code with a kill_child_process method. What does it matter whether that was relevant at all to the case at hand? It looks bad anyway. Anyway, such policies are similarly common in the corporate world.

> Reddit is able to license its content in a way that prevents companies from using it while leaving the API free.

And there's the scam laid bare.

It's *NOT* Reddit's content. Sure, by posting you're granting them a whole slew of rights. But you dont transfer ownership to them.

And when your content creators leave, blammo, you have no more new content. And I'm already seeing some subreddits drop dramatically in terms of comments and posts. Tech ones, naturally. Turns out Lemmy is actually pretty cool for a fediverse version of reddit.

We're already seeing the start of death of Imgur as "reddit image host", oh wait "imgur social network", oh wait "no porn Imgur". We all know how this works out. Same game, just a bit ahead of reddit.

It’s interesting that you say, traditionally have been subject to tips, and mention hotel housekeeping. This was not common until relatively recently. I never tip hotel housekeeping since I grew up with it not being normative.

I wonder what tipping will be like in 10 years if this trend continues. I suspect though that tipping will slowly die as people are fed up with it.
Pen-Based Computing: Still Looking for the Write App?
But you've picked the very peak of a previous bull run against a dip of a bear market... QQQ peaked in 2021 at $404 but is now at $355 so it's down 15%. This is just as relevant as what you're saying but obviously doesn't capture the whole picture? QQQ dipped from $101 to $20 once which is a huge loss, larger than BTCs largest dip as a percentage, but again that doesn't really tell the whole picture either.

Not trying to be rude or argumentative here, I just really don't understand your point.
I was in New Zealand last month where tipping is non-existent in their culture. I visited Tara Iti golf club while I was there. The waitress found out I was American and she asked me how much I wanted to tip when checking out. I asked her if it was customary, knowing it wasn't. She said no, but Americans often leave a generous tip. It was rather an uncomfortable experience. I felt guilty and caved.
Calling bullshit on multiple points.

> I even think AI is going to improve warfare, when it has to happen, by reducing wartime death rates dramatically. Every war is characterized by terrible decisions made under intense pressure and with sharply limited information by very limited human leaders. Now, military commanders and political leaders will have AI advisors that will help them make much better strategic and tactical decisions, minimizing risk, error, and unnecessary bloodshed.

Fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of wars notwistanding (sane people rarely start them; assuming non-sane leaders like Putin, or historically Hitler, Bush, Milosevic, Mussolini, Galtieri, al-Assad, etc. etc. would listen to advice they don't like is... just stupid), on the contrary - better tools and "better" advice will make commanders and leaders more confident they could win. See: most major military inventions ever

The economic section is too long to quote, but again, fundamental misunderstanding of economy and human physhology and how it relates to economic decisions. If entire profressions get obliterated by AI (not impossible, but improbable with the current quality of AI output), it will, of course, obliterate their wages. It will create fear in other "menial" "white-collar" professiosn that they're next, which will dperess spending. Also, the cost of goods and services that can now be provided by AI (e.g. art) will drastically drop, making it an unviable business for those humans left in it, which will push most of them to quit. Who will be left to consume if vast swathes of professions are made redudant ? And if consumption goes up enough to generate new jobs, they won't be for the skillsets which were replaced, but different, specialised ones, that will require retraining and requalification, which is time heavy.

In any case, even assuming some equilibrium is reached at some point, having decent chunks of the population unemployed with little to no employment prospects, especially in countries with pretty much no social safety nets like the US will be disastrous socially.

I believe he mentioned elsewhere that he is grandfathered into an older price but even the non-grandfathered price is much lower than what Reddit is going to charge. Another issue he mentioned in an interview is that the price changes are going into effect in 30 days and he can't pass the cost onto annual subscribers for another year. Other companies have given longer time frames when making changes to API pricing.

I think you comparing very different users: power users with 344 reqs per day, many of who are moderator, and some monthly user who visited reddit once a month.

Internet says reddit has 50m daily users, I think you should compare that number.

Also, for 344 reqs we would need to trust apollo dev words, which I don't from obvious reasons.

I think one of the largest examples of water-based mechanical engineering from around that time is at Barbegal [0], the greatest known concentration of mechanical power in the ancient world and The capacity of the mills has been estimated at 4.5 tons of flour per day, enough to supply bread for as many as 10,000 of perhaps 30–40,000 inhabitants of Arelate at that time. Spain mines also had very interesting (albeit slave-powered) solutions, with up to 16 wheels draining a mine over 30 vertical meters[1] (and possibly more in other sites), one of which was discovered "intact"! [2, 3] Pre-industrial era engineering in general can be very fascinating.

In the US the tip you leave may or may not go directly to the staff, depending on how much other people tip, due to the weird way minimum wage works for tipped positions.

If a position is classified as a tipped position the federal minimum wage is $2.13/hour. For a non-tipped position it is $7.25/hour. (Many states also have minimum wages but for the examples I'll assume a state where their minimum wages are not higher than the federal ones).

If the tipped employee does not receive $5.12/hour in tips (the difference between the non-tipped and tipped minimum wages) they employ has to pay the work the difference between $5.12/hour and the tips they got.

The effect of this is that it is as if the tipped employee was paid a base wage of $7.25/hour, and the employer gets the first $5.12/hour of tips left for the employee. Any tips above that $5.12/hour go to the employee.
Because it's still got separate Ram for CPU and GPU which is how most PC's wor. It's not an integrated circuit which uses shared memory.
It's not the GC that guarantees safety. It's the encapsulation of every memory access inside a safe interface in the language's semantics. All the GC does is to make it possible to create the most popular interfaces over a finite memory.

And yeah, any bug on the interface or its implementation will lead to unsafe memory usage.

But anyway, no, if you make an interface where it's impossible to get memory corruption, you won't get memory corruption. It doesn't matter if the most inapt programmer on the world uses it. And the idea that people can manually manage memory on programs that are hundreds of megabytes large and created by many developers (or a single one at many different times) is about as wrong as the first part.
A possible nice thing about it being an external battery is that (presuming they will sell them individually) you can carry more than one.
> I can imagine a world where the first time my browser encounters a file of some new format it gives me the option to download a codec to render it

That world existed, in the 90s and early 2000s, and it was called "ActiveX". The codebase= attribute of the <object> element exists for that use case. It sucked, for two major reasons: first of all, it was a reliable way to get malware into user's machines (being "signed with a trusted cert" doesn't help when all you need for a trusted cert is money and/or hacking a trusted software publisher). Second, it was very Windows-specific, and a significant obstacle to the adoption of alternative operating systems, hardware architectures, and browsers.

Ah, completely agreed. But we can't lean on "it is easy, the Howey test explains all" without a huge caveat.

I will note that this particular path is treading on the "lets write down every edge case." As such, it would be better to have a slightly stronger guideline than that. Specifically, when the law is "this test, except for specific carve outs that all fail the test", that is a pretty bad law. Unless there is some unification of the carve outs other than "we decided these don't apply."

The power in the headset makes it sound like it replaces your laptop.

So for $3,500 I get a new laptop plus a 100 inch screen. To buy those separately would be far more than $3,500.

In my case I plan to buy it on day one because I want it for working. I'm tired of having to choose enjoying the nice weather outside while using a tiny 15 inch laptop screen or being inside at my desk with my 3 32" screens.

With Apple Vision, I can have my 3 32" screen outside. Or on the road. Or in the office when I drop in for a day. Or anywhere else I may go. It will be a huge boost in productivity and definitely worth the price.

That is the killer feature for me -- portability of my most productive setup.
