You ask a lot controvertial things that have nothing to do with what I said, and appealing to feelings. Why?

Also, your questions are apparently laid in a way so everything has to fit in order to not accept a commit, or requiring to know exactly how many war crimes have been commited to answer about "the half". Asking many questions like that is a known tactic I don't appreciate.

I'm not talking about numbers, or "which is worst". I'm talking about a guy going to work knowing that his work can kill innocents (yes, even working in/for the US too), and having his patches accepted, as a contractor (or in the supply chain) for some army.

Not everything is good/bad, right/wrong. It's a very ingenuous way to look at the world, and there are a lot of conflicts going on right now (for example https://www.cfr.org/global-conflict-tracker/). Are you tracking all of them? For the last 10 or 20 years too?
PSVR, Mostly X-Plane 11 now 12. Originally CentOS now Fedora.

Also watch pretty much all my movies on it and various incoming dev demonstrations.

X-Plane is looking like a "killer app" for this (already mac, linux and windows native, most of the devs are on mac)
Yeah, currently the limit is 50 comments. I plan to implement the ability to choose a sort and limit, assuming the API actually gets some usage. Right now the sort is whatever the new.reddit.com default is.
Already have an index, and SO has a Quest2, but I'm holding out for their rumored standalone, codename "Deckard".

I wish valve actually worked on the "Steam VR Home" environment again, because in 2023 their engine is ready and could be used to create something like ChatVR but on steroids.
The iphone was full of killer apps at release.

The Maps app was so much better than printing MapQuest maps or trying to use the flip phone version of MapQuest.

Being able to access the real internet from anywhere was futuristic.

You could use iMessage without paying $0.10 per text?!?! Can you even imagine paying $0.10 per text (and $0.25 for every text after the first 100 per month?)

Visual voice mail was also a game changer at the time.

And you got an ipod along with all that. (The iphone was my first "big" ipod device)
I think it matters more on local-level elections. Some candidates will propose shelters and affordable housing policies, the other wants to ban them and plow highways. This is where voters demography and their representation matters.

I'm not sure why there's a few negative comments here. The dialectic the article sets up is clear:

Prior: People acquire helplessness through reinforced external negative stimuli (dysphoric)

Author: No, it isnt the presence of negative stimuli, but the absence of internal positive (control-promoting)

This makes all the difference for understanding how to treat the issue; as well as how to communicate it.

Let me give an example from my own life this morning. For quite awhile I've been leaving things in random places where they aren't tidy (prone to breaking, etc.). This morning, for the first time in awhile, I made the extra effort to move something to a better place.

On the first model, and an intuitive one, it was the effort to pick up the items that was the negative stimuli. So the treatment is: learn to enjoy tidying, etc.

Rather, I actually experienced the opposite, and I sort of realised it at the time.

This week I began resetting all my schedules, alarms; started reorganising my day. And it's no coincidence that this tidying-act followed; as have many since i've done this. The heart of the change was actually just putting 4 alarms on my phone.

So what has happened?

I havent learnt to enjoy anything more. Rather, I've started rehabituating my self of control -- by even trivial changes, I am strengthening that sense. The items of my apartment more clearly appear as objects that I can control, rather than a chaotic environment that's beyond control.

This I think is incredibly important in how we frame advice in these cases.

If you have some "learned helplessness", don't focus on the tasks over which you're helpless. Do something quite radically different: practice taking small steps of control, which require minimal effort -- and so on.

Because the Apple device looks like a desirable item instead of just a functional toy. It's the wealth signalling and image that count.
Any chance you can draw on top of the image? I don't really know where to begin to look from your description.
I don't know why, but I hate having to use anything with a DB. So most of the options (although really good) were a no for me.

I ended up using https://goaccess.io/ because it doesn't require a DB, _and_ because it was in the package repo of the distro I use on my server, so it requires basically no setup. Just editing the config file.

I think it's kind of right though. Like we're in the midst of a generation of developers most of whom can't seem to be productive without stackoverflow or Google open in a tab somewhere.

The big question is whether it's even capable of making recommendations like that. You'd have to combine it with your own model.

Having read books on strength training and tried to learn stuff like squatting perfectly myself I'm skeptical it could be to grasp the nuance.

But for dancing and other stuff where it doesn't matter as much it could be useful (health/safety wise when carrying load).

> A series of excel errors, including failure to copy down a formula to the whole column, led many governments to adopt a policy of economic austerity.

3D movies were mentioned as a use case and there were multiple 3D app demos. The dinosaur roaring out of an educational app. The beating heart and heart take apart viewer from multiple angles. Walking around machines in place as you examined future workflow. The breathe app doing a full room fireworks thing. And a future National Geographic videos where you are traveling within the school of fish.

I could see a fair use case in STEM education helping to visualize atomic structures, do dissection, or otherwise help people engage with the material. Historical videos are often pretty dry and with some machine learning they could punch up Churchill so you are in the crowd listening to his speech surrounded by a period entranced crowd.

Will it get to the point that you can go to a concert and watch from the front row with seats in the boonies it is hard to say, although hopefully this contains all the AirPod pro passthru tech blocking out other people’s chatter or nearby vacuuming may be a huge boon to concentration and enjoyment.

Personally, I don't believe the business market actually exists.

I always hear people giving made up use cases like "oh, service engineers will be able to see instructions overlaid on the machines they're working on" but a paper service manual costs a lot less than a 3D augmented reality manual - and anyone who's worked with service engineers knows for any repair that's performed often enough that productivity is important, the service engineer will know the process by heart.

Oh sure, you can sell a few units to architecture companies that want to dazzle rich clients. But you can't sustain a product like this on sales of 1000 units per year.

Google Glass and HoloLens both targeted the "business market" but that's just them saving face when they can't hit a price point that makes any sense.
I don't think GDPR is a problem, but they might have to cut some features in some EU countries where facial recognition is illegal (if they use that, but they probably do).

Kind of like Google Photos which has facial recognition and tagging, except in the EU.

[1] You need a screen that is also a composite camera array, so that software can track the eyes on the incoming video feed and place the camera for the outgoing feed at that (moving) location. Sort of like a phased array for light. Thus when you look at someone's eyes, they see you looking directly down the camera.
Fair enough, was interrupted while reading on mobile so seems I skipped a section accidentally.

Still, this happens quite a bit, in my personal experience and from what I've read on the mailing lists etc, so shouldn't be downplayed. I've replaced at least 7-8 cables after ZFS started complaining (could be reseating would help but I have enough cables). That's a lot of potential errors other filesystems which don't do error detection on read wouldn't discover, given that I almost certainly wouldn't have found out until much later in that case.

I've also read plenty of people who've had ZFS reporting errors which went away after replacing a SAS/SATA backplane.
SEEKING WORK | Edinburgh, Scotland | REMOTE

Well versed in python and javascript, but capable in other languages as well (have deployed Java/Golang/C recently). I've recently been working in privacy/security, currently working on combating disinformation.

My experience ranges from working on backend APIs to frontend SPAs as well as building ML pipelines, bespoke search engines, mobile apps. My strength is in diving into new areas and getting up and running quickly. I work extremely well in entrepreneurial contexts, balancing long-term goals with short-term deadlines in all technical decisions.

Big on Django but not restricted to that. Lots of experience with modern react/vue. I've been a remote worker for about half a decade now, so I had a track record of getting things done without direct supervision, and my remote work means my schedule is flexible for side projects. Set up to easily work with either US or UK entities.

What do you get for being a moderator on Stack overflow? Felling that you are helping the community?
Is the whole idea of syncing passkeys a bad idea? Or at least a less secure idea. Someone explained to me that passkeys are hardware backed, each passkey is stored on device and tied to the hardware, so even if someone managed to get access to it, they would also need the hardware to get it to work. These software based keys that can be synced are less secure as a result. Then it just becomes like a password again.

I need to read up a bit more on passkeys in general tbh.
> AFAIK, passkeys aren't really linked to a domain. It's old-school public-key verification, the server stores your public key and uses it to verify the signature of a challenge they send to your device on login. As long as the different domains/apps can share the public key you should be able to login.

In principle the fancier systems with a user interface could add a feature where you can change the DNS names associated with a key it's storing. That sounds like a monumental pain in the backside, and of course the primary consequence would be it increases phishing because now your users can be tricked into allowing it - but sure, they could do that.

For simpler devices like a Yubico Security Key, there is no such interface, they aren't storing any keys so there's no way to make such an association. The keys are bound to the DNS name and are actually stored (encrypted) by the sites you're actually authenticating to. So without a matching DNS name they're intentionally just useless nonsense.
I want to say thats a very general stereotype? Not sure if thats the correct term here.

Popular repos do not represent all of open source. People generally contribute to thing which they are interested in and/or actively using, most of the traditionally popular repos that most people come across are bleeding edge technology not being actively used by rest of the world but mostly by US/EU.

There are a lot of regional technical issues in SEA that devs need to solve, the ones that are not so valuable for rest of the world to look into.
It's kinda different. Google is a company that is famous to launch new products just to see if they stick and then kill them quickly if they don't. Apple is a company that is famous to launch new products only when they know they can sustain them for years and integrate them fully in their own ecosystem.

You can already very easily animate an assembly in modern CAD programs by setting up connectors and constraints, which you normally do as a matter of course anyway. There's literally nothing to do, you just click on the "assembly" tab and start dragging parts around.

Two large screens in a hotel room - so sold (plus on a plane, if that's not socially annoying)

Being able to stand side by side with people to work on something rather than broadcast my face into their face. It's just... so much more natural. All of the social cues like concentration, wandering away to think, nodding your head along with a group conversation you stumble upon and are now actively engaged in. If I can bring my data/apps in but keep them private - sold

Interacting digitally with the environment - this is a new one but I think it's going to be huge. Anything involving maps or layouts, you can plan it prior, and then overlay it on the day when you get on site. AR on a phone is meh because you have to hold it up, but when it's just a gesture I think it's going to open up whole new use cases that were just out of reach (pun intended)
PSVR, not high enough resolution for a virtual desktop, but the headset is comfy enough to burn many hours of the day in flight sim (X-Plane) and watching movies, little escapes that keep me mostly sane.

I was only griping the other week that its a disaster that PSVR is still the best value headset for linux (you can pick them up for like $100, none of the current alternatives are worth spending more on) with no upgrade path, PSVR2 hopes were dashed, this apple headset looks like I'll be moving most VR stuff to mac, I'm already on a macbook air for mobile, not touched windows for like a decade.

Hunt around for the other side of the story: the "artifact" marks are also likely to be naturally occurring and there is little or no evidence holes were dug to bury in, and crucially the bodies were not posed or arranged. Pteroglyphs on the cave walls are still undated.

Compute. The NVIDIA cards have way more tflops than the Mac SoC. A simple RTX 4090 has 16,384 CUDA cores. The M2's GPU has... 38 cores, apparently? The M2 GPU clocks in at 3.6tflops, compared to ~100tflops for the RTX 4090.

And this is just for a consumer GPU, I haven't even touched on the datacenter-grade stuff.

tl;dr the M2 is an underpowered GPU with a lot of RAM close by, while NVIDIA cards are multiple orders of magnitude more powerful but most of the RAM's a bit farther away.

seriously, measuring graphics cards in gigabytes is like measuring battery life in volts. it's the wrong unit.
Intrinsically, smaller organisms have fewer recovery mechanisms when compared to multicellular organisms. So, it kind of makes sense for them to be more susceptible to radiation.

At the low level, it boils down to the amount of energy an organism has at its disposal: prokaryotes have no mitochondria and thus cannot usually form multicellular organisms. If radiation hits an prokaryotic organism (i.e. a single cell) - it's alone by itself and probably well gone after the hit.

If radiation hits an eukaryotic (multicellular) organism, it still is able to compensate for that (to some degree) and still remains in the breeding pool for some time after the event.

The key difference between the two is the ability to reproduce itself after the damage.

The first iPhone was pretty crappy. No apps. 2G only. Poor battery life. Limited global distribution - not even Canada could get it. But it captivated people who didn’t own it yet, and it proved out some essential ideas like multitouch. And when the iPhone 3G came out, improving on some of the original device’s shortcomings, it was wildly popular. The rest is history.

There is no doubt that AR will eventually get good enough that the devices are paper thin, weigh nothing, and have no external battery (of course). Everyone wants _that_ device, but you have to start somewhere. Apple can afford to be patient in this space and their considerable moat of intellectual property will allow them to carve out the high end of the AR market and then work down as they did with iPhone.

It would not surprise me if they are earning 90% of the gross margins in the AR device space within three years.
>That only works when the competing product incurs a cost that can be undercut

You're right here, they can't destroy open source (unless they lobby/scare legislators, but that's an entirely different matter). But this subsidization means that the smaller OSS models don't appear cheaper to the client-side users. The companies can absorb the costs - it's a typical data for free service deal, and we already know users can be receptive to these deals. subsidization is also useful to scare off commercial competition.

>...

The Google 'leak' was a dumb spin and/or an example for why Google Research failed at converting its lead because it doesn't understand business. The important moats are not in raw performance following the initial training runs. That metric is secondary. The moats are in data and access, and both require productization.

All of the specialized and local models need access to user data for their task, and BigCorp already has access and data from its products. Lots of telemetry! Everyone else are likely to get a scary user prompt for 'security' which they try to access user data. In the LLM world, data => performance, having better data could mean BigCorp keeps improving beyond OSS.

Everything needs to be deployed, and BigCorp can just push it as an OS update. OSS needs word of mouth.

BigCorp can aggregate data from multiple users on its remote end for retraining. Local models are likely to be intermittently updated (who's going to pay for that? And based on what data?) and have access only to local user data and what it saw in the original training.

OSS catching up to GPT-4 performance will eventually happen, but by that time, BigCorp could achieve a strong product moat and improve its own performance beyond GPT-4. Right now, OSS is behind where it matters, and there's no guarantee this would change. One could hope...
