Even though his cold and hot is a bit strange, I am not sure it is related how light reflect is the key here. The key might be the way it is produced (but it blurs now as we saw movies made for tv, social media … and watch on tv), but the key is you go to a cinema and let yourselves immerse into it.

Because DXVK is cool, and in many cases better.
No it’s not more complicated. iOS brings in twice as much app revenue than Android in total.

What you’ve said doesn’t change this at all.
I've noticed the same thing when I ride in my basement. If I come up off of the hoods, grab a water bottle and take a drink my heart rate bumps up ~5bpm. It'll climb a bit more if I eat something like a granola bar or a gel.

What's interesting is that unlike steady state to a hard sprint, the heart rate rise is almost immediate. There's some delay - 20 to 45 seconds - if I change it up and do a sprint interval before my heart rate reflects that effort.

If, at some point in the future, we get small, handy, cheap, good quality cameras that people make a habit of always carrying around, then surely the nature of these phenomena will easily be determined.
The wiki link is second in Brave also, or are you pointing out something else?

Anyway, I also advocate for Kagi, but Brave happens to be free, and I haven't been convinced of the value of what Kagi charges for search, but I have been tempted.
The problem is labelling, in that case. It should be NSFM (not safe for minors) as that's what it really means, but the NSFW label caught on and we're stuck with it now.

The obvious suggestion is multiple tags (drugs, sex, violence, gore etc.). But actually that's a really bad idea because it's a slippery slope of censorship - each flavor of the month bad thing gets banned over a decade or so until there's nothing left to ban.

No please no. Can we just leave javascript and all of it's flavors behind already. All of this innovation and people want to program in _transpiled_ programming language? It's like turles all the way down but it's just hacks all the way down in the js world and it'll start catching up with us if it hasn't already.

When I had battery swelling, they were super familiar with the problem, didn't even inform me it was a risk, just quoted the price for a new battery.
Normally, the main point of money is to exchange it for goods. But you can't securely and trustlessly exchange bitcoin for goods, since goods are not on-chain. So all the fancy cryptography is not solving the main problem that it would have been useful to solve.
> There were five revisions in the first 36 months of the Xbox 360's life:

Zephyr was pretty much just a Xenon board with HDMI hardware added, and Opus was a Falcon with HDMI hardware removed, so I count Falcon/Opus as the first refresh and Jasper as the second.

> If you purchased your 360 on launch day, you would qualify for the Jasper model (65nm CPU/65nm GPU, which is the primary "no RRoD" model) for over two months.

Opus exists solely for warranty replacements for Xenons. It never shipped to retail. If you had a Xenon fail under warranty you got back another Xenon until mid-2008.

I've personally never seen someone get a Jasper back in exchange for a failed Xenon or Opus. If you didn't have HDMI you were stuck with the older hardware. Not saying it never happened, but if it happened it missed my entire sample size.

> Their support for an issue caused by a third party manufacturer's chip was unprecedented

AFAIK the problem was the combination of RoHS solder plus heat cycling plus a poorly designed retention mechanism. I don't know what if any part of that physical design of the cooling system IBM might have been responsible for but the chip itself wasn't the issue. I definitely would not say this was an issue "caused by a third party manufacturer's chip"
As a fellow PhD student having a bit of idea on quantum metrology and sensing, I'd love to know more on your thesis! Kudos, by the way.
I noticed there was no mention of prices in the article. I would love to see what a festival Budweiser (generic, accessible beer, not a holy war argument) cost say 4 years ago vs today. Venue offerings have always been atrociously priced, and given the stiff rising prices on most consumer goods in the past few years, I could believe that many are choosing to abstain for simple economics.
You cannot look simultaneously at multiple places anyway.
Andreessen has become almost like a caricature of a VC. He is like the Jamie Dimon of venture capital, except with less self-awareness.

AI promises to expand our capabilities and cause major social change. Of course the people best positioned to reap outsize rewards from this transformation think it's good. There's no acknowledgement that pmarca is very much not the everyman, and that his point of view is biased by his incentives and information diet.

What amazes me is the uncritical, almost childlike optimism about AI in this piece. AI won't save the world any more than electricity or the internet saved the world. Like all automation, AI will improve productivity. Under our current incentives, that means employees will become more efficient, businesses will need fewer of them, people will lose their jobs, margins will expand, quality of life will improve for those who can afford the benefits of the new tech, and social stratification will increase. Eventually, we'll invent new wants and new jobs to do, the new tech will filter down the social strata, and margins will shrink again as competition drives prices down (assuming a competent regulatory climate). Many families will be left in the lurch like the coal miners in Appalachia and the steelworkers in Gary, Indiana were.

Andreessen would rather gaze starry-eyed at his vision of the AI future than consider the societal implications of his vision and how to address them. Makes sense, he's a VC: dreaming about the future and convincing others to build/fund/support those dreams is his job. However, he's not just ignoring the societal downsides of technological progress: he's calling people with very real concerns - concerns backed by centuries of historical precedent - paranoiacs? In what world does this guy live?
Common industry practice for iOS development is to support the most recent two major versions.

Cats aren't domesticated... they are wild animals who choose to cohabitate with people due to a symbiotic relationship. Grain storage drew mice, mice drew cats, humans realized cats were keeping mice out of their grain... didn't murder all the cats.

Your cat will cohabitate with you with no social interaction at all if that's how little effort you put into it. If you want a relationship with your cat, you have to spend time with it and learn to speak cat.
Language like evilness is built in with us. You cannot use language to escape language, at least no promise. Clarity is limited by language itself.

Similarly for evil, whilst most religion including non-religious thought like Buddhism (except Tien tai which Buddha has evil nature forever) are trying to single out evil, set a boundary and eliminate it and put all those have it into hell and let us ignore it.

It is the same issues. You cannot escape from it. You are it it at least part of you are it. Live with it.
You both have a point, but I'd like to add that maybe aliens aren't as interested in shiny things like collider's and plasma and all that, and more interested in organizations of living things that control resource flow across the oceans, which the US does for the entire world. If I was an alien that already understood the bosons and all that, it would be cool to watch a monkey planet figure that out, but I wouldn't learn much. But I could learn from an organizational structure with unilateral force projection capabilities across all specimens of this creature. There are things the US does that are mighty interesting.
Honestly, how often do you bang your head hard into a wall/floor? Sure, I'm a tall guy, roughly 200cm, and I sometimes bang my head in a overhead doorstock. But that is typically some old cottage or similar, where I would probably not bring a XR headset anyway.
Yeah - I mean obviously I don’t know that Apple has solved this. If they have, it’s a clear winner as far as I’m concerned.
If the military industrial complex is so competent, how come it failed so hard in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Even the "true" conspiracies, like mkultra ... What did all that abuse accomplish? Not much. Unethical? Yes. Murderous? At times. Competent? No. Bumbling fools.

The term "military industrial complex" was meant as a warning about corruption, not that they'd manage to be good at it.

> If you have both, you have literally a generationally-defining product (e.g. the iPhone), but even if you just have the software, you'll still eat your competitor's lunch.

The Vision Pro is really a first-product distraction for the Apple fans. This only further validates the market for XR devices and Meta's Quest's lineup will be the cheaper alternative for those who don't have iPhones or Macs (Since Android phones still outnumber iPhones) [0].

I'm only interested in the next iteration when it gets smaller and cheaper and when Apple announces a direct competitor to the cheaper Quest. Probably 'Apple Vision'. Then it will get its 'iPhone' moment, but it is not going to be the Vision Pro.

> Meta's about to get a rude awakening because "we can fix the software later." As
if technical debt doesn't exist and as if you can so easily get engineers that eagerly want to clean up someone else's mess.

Meta is fine. They will just copy Apple and make it cheaper and at worse case, become the Android of XR headsets and glasses.

This is classic Apple. They're never the first mover; they let others fail, learn from those mistakes, and make a pretty polished product that everyone thinks they created the genre.
> If you can position things in AR, you can put keyboard keys down on wood grain and the device can tell where your fingers land.

You'll get carpal tunnel syndrome faster than the battery drains if you're actually doing that. One of the main points of keyboards is actually the fact that they absorb some of the shock of typing.

It's actually extremely plausible that the keyboard is the best possible text input method - at least until we find a way to read brain signals non-invasively and decode those into text directly.
Related to his comment about the windows, I’m really curious how window management works in this. They’ve shown you can have multiple windows kinda in the space at the same time. But how do you rearrange them/move them around in space? How do you close them? Is there some way to put 2 apps next to each other in the same window, and keep them together when you move stuff around? I’m mostly curious because interacting with this stuff is still a mess on iPad, and the hand gestures they demoed for Vision Pro are a lot more limited than what we’ve seen with multitouch.
I'd expect nothing less for clickhouse :)
Web sites tend to have either a lot of static content to serve, or are an interface to database queries of various sorts.

In both of these scenarios, the complexity isn't derived from writing algorithms and data structures that "go wrong" (which static types can help a lot with) but from gluing together the two ends - taking an HTTP request, making it do the thing with the database, and then returning a response. That's the genesis of the LAMP stack - Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. Four pieces that just need a little bit of scripting and configuration to turn into an app.

And at the outset, a lot of the benefit of using PHP or Perl was just in having some useful string handling that wouldn't cause a buffer overflow, and being able to test in production by editing the script instead of deploying new binaries. Cheap webhosts would always provide PHP because it kept the deployment so simple. But SQL injection attacks were common and data loss frequent, and a lot of framework features were built on those kinds of challenges - methods of safely handling user input, features for maintaining accounts and login sessions, unit testing, ORM, database migration, and so on. Since they mostly stay in the request-response framing and SQL is leaned on to handle the inner workings of the data, these are things that end up having relatively short, disposable code paths, which if they complexify into something needing more processing, can be offloaded into a fast native-code process that just does the inner loop. I think that approach keeps dynamic languages in the mix - the debugging can be compartmentalized, and so can the bits that need high performance - so it's mostly about features, defaults, deployment. None of the frameworks end up being a perfect fit after the app gets big, but they help start it on a course with some underlying structure. If you go big on the framework you'll have more defaults imposed on you, which can be convenient, but spending a lot of time evaluating them isn't as important as getting the frontend and the database right.

I've been doing some coding with the Symbol blockchain lately and it's served as a helpful comparison, because Symbol has a unique approach that does a lot of framework-like and database-like chores without the use of smart contracts: it persists data, it allows you to update the data's state and review previous versions, it lets you search by various parameters, and, of course, it transfers custody of data between accounts, implements access controls, and allows various kinds of transactions with atomicity. In many cases, the app can exist in client Javascript and access the chain over REST. I started off thinking I would have a Flask app, and now am just writing a single HTML file with everything inlined apart from the SDK used for building transaction data - the framework part of it evaporated. Which is great - fewer dependencies. The limitation is, well, it's a blockchain, and the type of data worth storing on a blockchain is the "wants to be shared widely with an expensive consensus" kind.
Psychadelics seem to mean a lot of different things to differwnt people because for me none of what you mentioned was that profound or interesting about taking psychedelics. For me it was the 5 or 6 hour come down window after all the above stops where i seem to have perfect clarity on what is wrong in my life and the steps I need to take to fix those things. I try to go to Amsterdam and pop a box of their strongest magic truffles once every couple years just for that window. The self criticism and self correction that has come out of that has been utterly life changing for the better for me.
> The Minority Report movie probably set the industry back by a decade or two. Waving your hands around to control stuff seems logical but is quickly exhausting.

There was an operations center I worked at that had a large touch screen (think cnn wall), that always sat in the corner of the area collecting dust, but whenever some higher up would visit it would get pulled out and used just to provide a wow factor. It was always the unlucky one that ended up having to use it during this time. The fatigue was horrible.

I think it's going to get worse for social media. Lately I've been seeing more and more "content" suggested to me that is AI generated. Architecture that doesn't exist. People that don't exist in locations that don't exist wearing clothes that don't exist. I'm able to notice the slight unreality of it, its too-perfect look, and I check the tags and sure enough it's #midjourneyai or something. And I have this out of body experience. What am I doing with my time? It's vapid, empty content. I can never go to this place or see this thing or person, but it's presented as real as possible. It just kind of makes the whole thing seem absurd to me.

At least in the past even if it was an influencer, I knew it was a real person or location, if a little Photoshopped. Now it just might as well be me daydreaming?

It's hard to explain. It's kind of the end of meaning, I guess.
Clickbait would be something that's misleading. Hence the "bait" (and switch) allusion. Not everything has to sound like a reuters byline.
You are thinking too small at the level of a penny wise miser.

Making things profitable just requires policy changes. Just look at the IRA in the US right now incentivizing all sorts of things that would otherwise not be that profitable right now rather successfully. Whole industries bootstrapping themselves because of it. And the best part is you can fund it through debt. There was no tax raise to pay for the 1 trillion $ IRA budget. And it's not a zero sum game of course. It's not a hand out but an investment with a positive return on investment. The investment is long term profitable.

Terraforming is going to require large scale investments and there will be plenty of opportunity to profit from that. All it requires is some policy. How do you think people got to the moon? Frugal people counting pennies or people just going for it and moving extreme amounts of funding to make it happen? History is full of moonshots.
I thought I understood the technology after reading the Bitcoin paper, but later realized that there's a lot more to it. See the ZeroCash/Zexe papers, ZK rollups, optimistic rollups, BFT literature like HotStuff, or scaling research like Block-STM.

Some HNers just aren't that interested in the use cases, which is fine. But others tend to critique decades-old technology, and don't seem interested in learning about modern solutions, since their minds are made up.
However, while it's mundane knowledge now that hives can do optimizations etc. collectively, the point of the article is, no, individual bees are intelligent.
I think advanced aliens would laugh at our kardashev scale and say "well it's a lot more nuanced than that" especially considering we don't see a single shred of evidence that anyone out there has a dyson swarm. It's probably the wrong metric to use. If they're up there, whatever they're up to, it's probably really interesting and not just about energy consumption.

"Perhaps"? That seems rather unavoidable. Younger generations already are being molded by corporations so think what happens when LLMs will take the lead. Set the parameters of "safety" and there you have it: a trained in a particular way society who is not allowed to think by itself or criticize and is unaware of situation because what they perceive is the norm. Ads baked in are one thing but the potential social implications are much worse, I believe

We do with Typescript what a lot of people do with Python. Handle most things with Typescript and then contract off the really compute heavy parts to C\C++ (slowly moving to Rust). I’ve worked extensively with both Python and JavaScript and while we use Typescript because it’s much easier to setup an environment where your code is protected from you than it is with JavaScript you can actually do the same with JSDoc. I want to love Python, hell I do love Python, but I just love JavaScript a lot more.

I think the key difference is that it’s hard to setup good governance for JavaScript. You’re going to need a fascist linter that is actually enforced, and you’re going to need a tight grip on your developers to force them to really, really, think about their dependencies, but once you have that it’s quite honestly the best language I can think off. The ability to use isolated functions instead of putting them into “classes” is just such a great way to do a solid mix of functional OOP programming, which is obviously heresy to hardliners of either, but it’s just so magical when you do it right.

I think Python is getting there, it was such a great language for such a long time that it sort of forgot to improve. But now it has copied the NPM/Yarn package handler, and hopefully it’ll soon be possible to actually do a Typescript sort of Python, so maybe it’ll be able to win me back. Or to be fair, I think it’s a great language until you have to work together. It’s just so hard to get the codebase governance up with Python that it only really becomes worth it in ML shops where your developers want to work with Python. I’m not sure how Instagram managed, and there are certainly the projects that fit into the Django box which absolutely should be put into the Django box, but the only general purpose language to me personally is currently JavaScript.

Part of that is because we need initiatives like this one. We need “React” in Python or Rust or whatever if we want small dev teams in non-tech enterprise to be able to work with other languages than Typescript. Yes I know we have some C++, and a little Rust, but unlike the rest of our many different projects I’m the only one who can maintain them. Which is actually the primary reason we work with JavaScript, because if we don’t, then the React developer won’t ever be able to go on a vacation. :p It helps that JavaScript has become such a great language, and it likely has exactly because the React dev wants to go on vacation in a trillion IT departments. But I’m all for Python having this React Python so ML heavy shops don’t need that React dev.

But to say JavaScript is atrocious is sort of silly to me and I’m not sure you would have that opinion if you gave it a real chance.
That is possible, strange things happen at sea.
