No, ETH is used to pay for transactions, the vast majority of which aren't "about Ethereum", but rather it is a general-purpose virtual machine that executes instructions in smart contracts, which can be for any general purpose, such as contests, or voting, or securing some assets, etc. So ETH has a lot of utility and is decentralized. That it's not a security has been a majority consensus of the SEC until Gary Gensler took over, and many commissioners including Hinman publicly said it: https://www.sec.gov/news/speech/speech-hinman-061418

But about whether it can never be considered a security? In theory I agree with you. Just because something has utility, doesn't mean it's not a security by the Howey test. Today the SEC says one thing (ETH is not a security). Tomorrow under different leadership they can turn around and say it is. Good luck convincing a court, though.

And Howey is just on the federal level! As I have already said -- most Kickstarter campaigns are actually unregistered securities offerings, according to the Risk Capital test of California and a dozen other states:

And in fact, nearly everything can be a security if you try hard enough:

So "how it works" is whatever the system happens to come up with in court cases and precedents. The definitions vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and are vague as it is. After all, capital invested into anything is "put at risk", even if by the Howey test it's not. While in Singapore, the definition of security is a lot more narrow. And FINMA in Switzerland seems to have a much more sane system specifically for tokens:

Reading about how, over time, the volume of a black hole seems to grow infinitely makes me immediately jump to an obvious connection:

The universe as a whole is ALSO a system that appears to grow infinitely.

I mean, there have been many conjectures that a black hole could contain a new universe, and that the creation of a black hole also creates a new universe. This would seem to hint at another potential connection.

That said...I'm really not a physicist, so maybe that connection is at best a hook for a science fiction story. But it surprises me that the article didn't even mention the parallel.
Those numbers would still be juiced in the same way with artificial traffic. Revenue / user or revenue / request is less easily gamed as the more artificial traffic you add the larger that drops. Of course that's a lagging indicator but at least that forces Reddit into a position where they'd have to be defrauding their advertisers (or overcharging them on impressions which they'll push back on).

It seems you start from baseless beliefs and blindly assume they are require no validation and afterwards feel surprised others don't share your wild assumptions.

I recognize that name! It's unrelated, but he is the guy the made Corsix Mod Studio, which allowed for modding of Dawn of War and Company of Heroes. Without his work modding those RTS games would have been impossible, and it was this rabbit hole which got me into learning LUA, and starting my journey into programming over a decade ago.

I'm wondering if a similar trick will be used with iPhones and Apple Watches that are within view. Will they bother with the camera reading the screen and then rendering to the visor, or will they just seamlessly talk to the phone and watch to get the screen imagery. I'm assuming that would improve the quality.
> Posting obnoxious, demanding messages on the Chromium bug tracker is not the way to win friends & influence people

It's true, although it should be noted that this is the result of the Chromium team acting in bad faith and gaslighting the users.

These are the stated reasons for the removal of JPEG XL: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=117805...

"Experimental flags and code should not remain indefinitely"

Why wasn't AVIF hidden behind an experimental flag?

"There is not enough interest from the entire ecosystem to continue experimenting with JPEG XL"

This is gaslighting. The representatives of companies such as Adobe, Facebook, Intel, The Guardian or Shopify have voiced their support for the format. Not to mention the countless individuals. I don't recall AVIF getting anywhere near this level of interest.

"The new image format does not bring sufficient incremental benefits over existing formats to warrant enabling it by default"

Really? https://cloudinary.com/blog/the-case-for-jpeg-xl

BTW, this article doesn't even mention all of the JPEG XL's advantages. For instance, it doesn't mention the high resolution support. AVIF images are limited to 65536x65536, but images larger than 8192x4352 must be tiled, which results in border artifacts between the tiles. JPEG XL, on the other hand, has no problems with images up to 1073741823x1073741823.
As others have mentioned, this isn't a vulnerability, it's by design. It's in the name "Screen Sharing".

They can be quite handy in trade school where students can take a picture of a manual, or a tool, and have their phones read the manual or instructions out loud to them. You could do so on a laptop, but it's not like there is really room for 30 laptops in a mechanics shop, and it's sort of hard to take a picture of something under a car with it.

For the most part, there isn't a good reason to bring out a smartphone though, but there are some cases where it makes really good sense.
It was this part that led me to think that.

"And it’s only in situations where we think that investment of resources is worthwhile that part of our prefrontal cortex tells the dorsal raphe nucleus to chill and let us do something about it. In this context, it’s not helplessness that is learned, but control."

Those aren't workarounds. The whole point of 3-4 USB-C/Thunderbolt ports is that you can do anything you can do things like plug a docking station into it via one port and do power, display, USB ports, etc off that one cable.

According to the article, in longtermism 'existential risk' is something more specific: everything that threatens our long term 'potential'.

So if becoming 'a multi planetary species' as Musk puts it is an essential part of our potential, destroying in whatever way our capability of achieving that is putting us at an existential risk. Not because we might all die on this planet, but just for the very reasons that we stay stuck here at the limits of earth.
> I really hope Apple brings the same charge limiting to iPhone as well.

This was added to iPhones in 2019.

> If your iPhone stops charging at 80%, it's most likely due to a feature Apple introduced in iOS 13 called Optimized Battery Charging. It aims to prevent over-stressing the battery and hence extend the battery life of your iPhone by limiting the charge to 80%.

Your iPhone learns your usage patterns and delays 100% charging until moments before you wake up in the morning.

11.5m per eye is still far short of what would be needed to approximate pixel pitch of many of Apple's "retina displays" at typical desk viewing distance display well, FWIW. This a really hard problem with tech we have today.

Whether its 8m or 11m or even 15m pixels isn't the point with regards to using it to replace desktop monitors - the point is the necessary density to compete with excellent real life physical displays is really high.

Your VR monitor only ever really uses a subset of the total pixel count - it still has to spend many of those pixels to render the room around the display(s) too.
Your argument depends on twice saying "not hard for a lot of people on Hacker News." You've nicely illustrated the point.

>Every child will have an AI tutor that is infinitely patient, infinitely compassionate, infinitely knowledgeable, infinitely helpful. The AI tutor will be by each child’s side every step of their development, helping them maximize their potential with the machine version of infinite love.

This bothers me.

Who trains these AI tutors and how do we prevent the system they're embedded in from churning out the same cookie cutter individuals, each with the exact same political beliefs and inability to comprehend the grey and nuanced?

Do we even want perfect tutors at all? The lessons I remember from school didn't always come from the best and brightest the profession had to offer. I would even go as far as to say that some were rather flawed individuals, in one way or another. That "wisdom" though has shaped me for the better as an individual. You're not going to find that in any textbook, much less a LLM.
Another commenter suggested that wait staff are taking takeout orders and packaging them up. I'm assuming they're not paid minimum wage for that portion of their work, so then it seems like this isn't the right basis for tipping or not tipping.

> WebP also isn't even comparable to JPEG XL: it's the "old next-gen" image format – it's between WebP and AVIF.

This is a nonsense statement of opinion.

AVIF is severely more computationally expensive than JPEG XL (over 100 times worse at high bitrates), limited to 4k resolution, has worse compression, and is missing desirable features like progressive decoding and lossless recompression.

> There is just no incentive for Google to push for WebP: they have nothing to gain by it.

They have complete control over the standard. No one else can make changes to it without their approval. JPEG XL is governed by ISO.

In the US servers are typically paid a much lower minimum wage like $2 an hour than a fast food worker vs. $7+ (depends on State/location). Tips are basically required to have a living wage. While they may be the one to hand you the takeout bag it feels a little silly to pay them 15%+ to have them hand a bag over and there was no expectation for it pre-COVID. Serving is a more time intensive task. Yes, it is kind of silly in general.

What's worse is where I live in Canada servers get paid the same but there's still this weird expectation to tip them.

> made up [...] ragebait stories [...] are pretty harmless in itself.

Strong disagree, reading such things habitually is corrosive to the mind and turns people bitter. For reddit to recommend and promote ragebait subreddits to their user is deeply unethical. And to create fraudulent ragebait content, to make people vicariously mad about something that didn't even happen, is evil on par with being a tobacco advertiser.

I don't think that would work.

The question goes to, how do you prove or meet any kind of burden of proof needed for discovery, where they've done it when you aren't even an employee. No lawyer will take that job just on your say so unless you are bankrolling it.

There is simply no way for you as a candidate to know short of you being in or near the room where it happens when it happens. Certificates or education level are also not a protected class. Discrimination based off race would be a blatant violation, but certificates vs degrees; I'm not so sure (and I'm not a lawyer).
and it's hard to blame them no? As much as I hate Reddit and their ways to force me to login or use their app, if they want to get more users from some countries why not fake it til you make it?
The issue isn’t the QR, it’s the weird dynamic of a restaurant with a guy who shows you to a table, then you’re ordering from some stupid webpage.

I'm curious how 1Password can say passkeys cannot be stolen, and yet passkeys are sharable within 1Password. Wouldn't an attacker stealing my 1Password credentials (secret-key/user/pass) also get (cf. steal) my passkeys stored in 1Password?

Regardless, I'm excited for passkeys: passwords are already abstracted out with password managers, and now they're going a step further of not being revealable w/ passkeys. However losing the escape hatch of reading a password off my phone into an untrusted computer is quite the use-case loss.
Some general use cases:
- training/education: say giving you tips and correcting you while cooking with checklist recipes and concurrent demos of the current step. Works for painting, fixing instrument finger positions, workout tips, STEM, or anything where you would want to use your hands instead of holding something. There was a keynote section about the watch helping with golf swings and the like.
- Streaming: there were apparently some terrific sports/concerts front row seat demos. Some were willing to plunk down $1000 courtside subscriptions instead of $1000/ticket seats. TikTok but far more intimate in the room with them experiences.
- decorating: there was a demo where a wall became a portal to a Jurassic period. Imagine the decorating possibility of an aquarium in your living room and a planetarium on your ceiling. Virtual pets cavorting and visitors just popping into your living room via a portal. Create a literal dream home on the cheap.
-escape/relaxation: live in a noisy bright urban center? Just cut it all light and noise out with your private getaway helmet. If you are paying $2000 a month for a so-so living space it would be a good add on.

Personally I value having a great bed and a great car because treating yourself makes it worthwhile. Having a dream environment the times I am alone? Having a theatre experience stuck on the toilet? I am looking forward to when the hardware can simultaneously do all of this at once.

In RE:Village it's funny that whenever you are thrown onto the ground (you are being thrown around a lot), from your perspective it looks like your body is sank in it, with just head sticking out. I don't think this can be avoided in such cases. Like in this one, the only way to remain synced to what's happening in VR would be to lie down or collapse IRL, I personally don't need this level of immersion. On the contrary, many people said they got used to "VR legs" over time and no longer feel sick - according to them, the key is to be gentle and take a break instead of pushing through it when you feel sick.
I think this is probably alright provided it is not abused. In this case it is currently a mostly level playing field. They can fly over me and I can fly over them. As soon as it is illegal for me to monitor responders with a drone then I will be against this. About the only difference is that I don't have an easy way to combine drones, license plate readers and facial recognition. All I can do is 9 mile range, spotlight and FLIR. Perhaps this will change with time and more drones will be required to have geofencing and some type of police blackout capabilities such as automated temporary flight restrictions around them at which point there will likely be a big underground market for modded drones.

“The pursuit of FIRE is often a band aid for deeper problems. Chronic stress, burnout, depression and anxiety are all factors that could be triggered by work, but work is not necessarily the root cause. It follows that quitting (or retiring) is often not the solution.”

This makes no sense. Chronic stress and burnout are closely associated with working. Depression and anxiety are health issues that can often be exacerbated by working. In all of these cases ceasing to work, if you can, would be a very reasonable thing to decide to do.
> So why is paying them directly more objectionable?

Tipping on a POS system isn't paying them directly. Honestly, I have no idea if it even goes to the employee at all, instead of just into the company. With waitstaff I believe it does, because there's a long-standing system for that. With POS systems, who even knows?
