You can track all of this (things like Rc or Arc do) except move.

Relative pointers are possible, depending on what you mean. Making this safe (e.g. preventing users of that type from breaking the relative addressing) is done via the Pin type.
FedNow and Pix were announced around the same time, the American one just took longer. Given the latter has done in three years what volume Fedwire does in months, the lag seems reasonable.
The worst part of the presentation was the kids playing and the father with his scuba headset creeping on them with that thing recording everything.

It doesn't really send a great message to children, jm2c.

I'm also a bit scared we'll move from laying in bed with loved ones scrolling on our devices to even further isolation and distraction.
Thanks! i actually experimented a bit with an SQL-like interface for while, dump things into sqlite and use that as query engine. Problem usually was that file formats tend to be mix of array and tree structures more then relational and at least standard SQL is not great for that. Maybe some graph-SQL dialect could work?
...oh boy
Indeed - and optimized ;)

A little bit dystopian looking, but I think the potential is massive here. Just imagining the potential for the 3d photos/videos to basically put you back into places and times and truly experience either places or people who no longer exist feels absolutely monumental alone, ignoring all the other potential here.

On the dystopian front, I believe that the problem is that any AR/VR headset is going to require a similar form factor to include all computational pieces and sensors. I truly believe they would've made it look a lot more like regular glasses if it was feasible. I think over time the Vision Pro will start to approach something of the sort when that technology becomes available.
The "API" so to speak is the relevant laws in your jurisdiction. You may be looking for a lawyer
It looks like it uses IR inside, like eye-tracking in other headsets usually does. There's a setup step to get a facescan in color.
You can with Asahi Linux. There are people using Asahi on M1 Macbooks as their daily driver, right now.
Not writing down anything youd be upset another person read is a pretty standard instruction for people doing interactions with ordinary business clients anywhere that data protection legislation theoretically allows them to make a statutory request the company send records you hold about them (Probably other jurisdictions too, if their lawsuits have a discovery process)

And that's "dear junior sales team members, please don't put your opinion of the client in writing, in the unlikely event they ask for a data dump they might be a bit miffed", not "dear compliance chief, please don't write confessions to breaking laws our lawyers might be able to argue we attempted to comply with when we inevitably have to defend ourselves in court..."
I think a News App like CNN+ could have worked if it were ad supported, and otherwise "free" ... let people catch the stories they want, when they want... get 3-4 hours of good content a day and let that carry things.

I happen to like Breaking Points a lot in this regard. You are absolutely right in that 24/7 news really doesn't work and in general causes more harm than good imo.

In the end, it just gets to a point where it's a toxic bubble that too many are willing to parrot. That doesn't even get into the distorted ad spend that does happen, and what it does to reporting. Not to mention the revolving doors between state propagandists and news commentators.
Socialism is when the government does stuff. /s
People outside the no-smartphone group will develop specific ways of interacting, which you only "get" when you participate

Stuff you can't even know you're missing out, because you don't know what you don't know

Maybe calling someone without a heads up is considered rude, or ending sentences with a period is considered passive aggressive, maybe responding to someone right away is considered desperate or using certain words is okay IRL but not online

I agree that kids having smartphones is not good, but isolating an individual or small group from ostensibly the rest of the world in inconsistent ways that may interact in even worse ways is something you should be careful with, you might just be marking them for life
Excuse the extremely dark humor...it's what honestly came to mind when they were showing a guy sitting alone in an eerily empty room looking at photos and videos of his loved ones as if they were still here.
Expansion cards, they were supported by the original PC from the 80s and even before that.
They just showed inserts for vision correction. They didn't specifically mention astigmatism correction, so not sure if that will be an option.

Assume for a moment all farmers continue to work.

Sellers are incentivized to charge as much as the market will bear.

Suppose you have a market of 1 person and he has $10 to spend on pork per month. You as the pork producer will charge $10 for a months supply of pork (if you can profit). Suppose that is how things go.

Now you learn your customer has $20 to spend on pork thanks to an increase in government benefits. The customer is feeling much better about himself. But Whoopee, you can suddenly charge $20!!

The customer now has a dilemma: either give you his increase, or go without pork. He choose to continue buying pork. He is no better off, it just enriches you the seller.

Now this is not perfect - it’s quite possible some new pork farmer may enter the market and charge $15. But more money tends to just shift price points up.

What actually lowers real prices is shifts in supply (offshoring, crop yield technologies, etc).

Consider an even simpler example, your own spending. If you suddenly gained $2k per month more, that’d be great! You could save, or buy something nice etc. but your consumption will largely remain the same - you still need housing, food, transit, etc. what if those suppliers just happen to increase prices at the same time? Are you really going to change your patterns? Probably not especially if it’s all suppliers, like we saw with covid. Everything got more expensive but everyone kept buying because they still need what they need. And if there was suddenly an increase in government benefits, you can safely bet most suppliers would raise prices as much as they can.
Almost nobody has probably had that as their only experience. However, it only takes relatively few people to do that for thing to turn sour -- sometimes a single person is enough. And in a large enough circle, chances are someone is like that.

Since most people tend to avoid confrontation, that gives the kinds of people who want to take as much as they can (or to have their way in some other way) a free pass until someone does in fact fight back.

Hence it's not surprising if, in the big picture, it seems like "people" (as in enough of them to make it a potential issue) do in fact seem to behave that way.
Seems also worth noting that although the usual algorithm for finding the minimax polynomial is the very old Remez algorithm, I'm playing with a minimax finder that relies on what I think is a novel algorithm. My algorithm seems better than Remez, and certainly beats it (as in, finds the solution when Remez can not) in many cases, even though I don't have an analysis of the algorithm.

The main idea is to use linear programming with some chosen points from the interval to look for the polynomial that approximates the chosen function over that interval. Unlike Remez, this enables control over which individual points from the interval are chosen as representatives, which enables avoiding ill-behaved points. An example of where this leads to improvements over Remez is when optimizing relative error: Remez would trip over zeros of the function, because they cause singularities in the relative error, however my algorithm works (by avoiding ill-behaved points) as long as the discontinuities are removable.

My algorithm is also a lot more flexible than Remez', for example it allows optimizing over multiple intervals instead of a single one.

That image seemed very creepy.
When hardware is designed to be controlled by software, then you can't exclude software from the patent, because such patent would describe nonworking hardware. But that software isn't patentable separate from hardware.

They are alleging the exchange comingled customer funds and transferred them to another company controlled by Zhao. Why doesn’t that make you angry?
1) Some small sites, like YouTube, are adopting it. However it is a chicken-egg problem that usually has to start from the hardware site because, in contrary to software, it can't be added later. That's why those organizations usually include Companies like Intel, which had delivered AV1 with their GPUs recently.

2) None, really, the increased use of bandwidth + CPU time is not a blocker per se. In this case y don't need hardware support but it sure as heck wold be nice to use those CPU cycles for something else.

Not exactly true. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Chernobyl_Exclusion_Zone_...
Yeah, it predated the infamous butterfly keyboard and touch bar. Mine did have to have its screen replaced (which Apple extended the warranty on because of a manufacturing issue) and I've also had a new battery installed but it still works pretty well on my dining room table for day to day purposes (which are mostly web-based use of some sort).

But it's got a lot of miles on it. No complaints.
Lol, so now what happens when they do actually try to declare martial law in response to border incursions?
Apple Unveils Vision Pro VR Headset
They just covered this in the stream. It has lens inserts.
It'll be locked down. Facetime will do just fine for this purpose.
I think I'd leave it a bit more abstract...

Something like sacrifice beyond what is required to stay employed or beyond what would be marginally valuable to the person making the sacrifices.

If you'll be fired for not coming in on Saturday, well then you gotta do that. But if you'll not be neither fired, nor sufficiently rewarded (IMO the most common case), then it's personal loss to sacrifice saturday for a reward that will almost entirely be reaped by C suite and Shareholders. Even if equity is part of your comp package, it's likely you'll own less than .01% of the company & your productivity.

One can use truths to bullshit; that's what media, marketing, corporate do. In this case, phrases such as 'further than ever', 'the most powerful ever made', 'the largest and most .. ever created' are hedged. One has to add many missing ceteris paribus clauses (which cetera is paria?) to make something out of these lines. Media, corporate people don't lie, but they use truths to bullshit.
> What's your answer then? Robots?

My answer is that a system that forces people into miserable jobs for miserable payment is inherently an unfair system.

Would you be alright with slavery because no one else would pick cotton or cut sugar cane while being threatened with a whip because "these dirty but necessary jobs should should be better"?

> would be a reasonable take, "let's give free money to everybody" seems a bit less so to me.

Giving free money to everybody would result in undesirable jobs either having their conditions improved or eliminated entirely. If unclogging sewers is necessary, people would only do it for the proper payment.

Looks like they’re using magnetically attached prescription lenses.
I think the misunderstanding comes from the fact that the display is physically close to the face, despite them "focused at infinity" and users having to focus give or take ~10m/30ft out.
Tor+IPFS is much more resistant yes.
I don't think this particular device will be, but I can't imagine it will take long for others to start working on alternative hardware and software combinations to do this, similarly to how much effort is being put into using LLMs to generate explicit content right now.

Well it is a bit dark, no amount of tech can be "great" to someone losing his loved ones.
You're arguing a complete straw man. Please read the sentence before the one you are hyper focused on.

I am taking a position against everything about the current narrative.

1) Calling the current generation of tech AI.
2) The idea that AI is dangerous.
3) The conclusion that regulation is required.

You're hallucinating some causality in the statements that isn't written. It has not been demonstrated that AI (AGI) will be dangerous. Further, LMMs are not AI. LLMs have also not been demonstrated to be dangerous. We do not need to give OpenAI (Microsoft) regulatory capture.

I'm using the downloadable app though, you can do IP pinning in there too, but seems nobody bothered to do it.

Now I wish I had somewhere a history of DNS entries.

Edit: there appears to be historical DNS records on the internet, so pinning a known IP in /etc/hosts make things work
"A robot pizza delivery startup that raised almost half a billion dollars has shut down after a series of technological setbacks, according to The Information."

The answer feels pretty obvious. This whole thing was a vaporware pump and dump scheme to rip off investors. No one needs 500 million dollars and 7 years to build a pizza robot; but that's a lot of years of salary and making PowerPoints. Legitimate productive cost effective engineering strategies for their core product probably left the discussion space after they raised their first million dollars of funding, and all the people actually capable of solving tasks left soon after the company was taken over by bozos
This is a low information comment.

Could you update it?
I thought that was funny as well. I suppose this is where the new "poster" feature comes in? They'll just see pre-recorded looped video of you?
I mean its Apple, this is probably limited to your address book.
I see that there is a cord to it. Where does it connect to? Does it connect to the wall? I was hoping this would be usable for camping.

They provide lenses. But I believe you would have to buy them separate.

Hi author here. Yeap currently only decodes the "wire" format. Actually it can decode using a schema but not parsed from a proto file, this is used by other formats using protobuf as a subformat then they pass a schema internally using go types. But proper proto schema support would be nice.
Those three shots in particular are a perfect execution of product marketing, designed to overload your critical thinking - “this is normal. Accept it. Embrace it”

The first time you see it it’s weird as fuck. The second and more times, not so much. A but like AirPods but much more extreme.

Whether this works out for them remains to be seen.
Well at least in the U.S. a lot of used 3090s are out for less than $800 on eBay which is a steal for 24GB VRAM. The 4090 is about $1600 and it's still a consumer-level card; gamers are buying it more often than the 4080. For ML workloads, it's actually a pretty good deal considering how expensive Nvidia's higher-end, non-consumer offerings are. Lambda Labs did some benchmarking: https://lambdalabs.com/blog/nvidia-rtx-4090-vs-rtx-3090-deep...

But yeah the M2 MacBooks are incredible for local LLMs for their price. Nvidia doesn't have any consumer-level priced accelerators with that much memory.
I agree with you, but I also think the other things we call currency are equally dysfunctional in different ways.
The irony of seeing a guy with big goggles on his face gawking at his children and recording them while the narrator says something like "get closer to those memories that matter most."

You will not get closer to your family by hiding behind a big funny pair of goggles.

The immersive home-theater possibilities on the other hand, now we're talking. Plane rides could potentially become tolerable.

That being said, I still think watching movies is a group experience that's largely lost with a "single player" device. I love watching with my family and making popcorn and laughing and cuddling. It seems impossible or awkward when we would all have to have our own pair of goggles.
The actual focal distance is somewhere around six feet on most headsets. If you're more nearsighted than that then yes you will need lenses, or to wear your glasses while using it.
Have to agree to that second point... I'm perfectly fine with bias, as long as it's obvious, clear and the reporting is relatively complete and accurate, even if I don't agree with the conclusions or opinion in the end.
First/last Mac Studio was released in 2022 which is I thought what we were talking about

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Studio
The optics in VR headsets trick your eyes into focusing further away than the displays physically sit, the effective focal plane is usually around 1.5 meters away.

Apple's keyboards are pretty mediocre or even outright broken (butterfly switch debacle anyone?)

If it's just chiclet keyboards you like there are no shortage of those. Logitech's MX Keys for example.
No part of that is really relevant to the code and it doesnt seem to have any relevance to the fact that it's being removed but it's still an interesting story
It's better than I expected so far. I think it's quite revealing that VR was not mentioned once.

Also - this paves the way to Mac Laptops (and desktops) without displays, which to me is the big win here.
left to right, had to search a few of them. You're probably not out of it, it's just relatively niche professional stuff. Half of them are only relevant for media professionals for example.

I am massively looking forward to revisit this thread 5 years from now and find out which of the know-it-all comments have aged like milk or, conversely if it bombs, what the initial reaction was to Apple's hardest modern failure.
Like all headsets, a lot will depend on the image quality. If it’s smooth and high res, it could be a monitor replacement - and that would be a killer app. But if it’s janky, pixelated or blurry or still has the screen door effect, it may just be tiresome.
I wonder what a serious CAD or 3D modeling app on this would feel like.
Interesting. I'd answer those questions as "Yes. No. Maybe. No." So definitely not a security.

1. Is cryptocurrency an investment of money? Obviously yes, at least in the sense you have to spend money to purchase or mine it.

2. Is cryptocurrency investment in a common enterprise? No. What enterprise? Common with who? Maybe if it's a token issued by a company or something and tied to their profits somehow, but that doesn't apply to any of the common cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Etherium, Monero, etc.

3. Is there an expectation of profits? This depends on entirely on the person buying the token and what they intend to use it for.

4. Does any profit come from the efforts of a promoter or third party? No. What promoter? What third party? If the value fluctuates you can make a profit, but there's no third party involved exerting "effort" that's involved in that process.

If you want to argue with me on 2 and 4, explain how cryptocurrency meets those criteria but not, say, gold.
Letting folks go is IMO far superior to defaulting on Payroll. Under the current system employees are fronting 2ish weeks of time to their employers and risking not actually being paid.

IMO because financial systems are so much more robust we should be moving to either a daily pay or even a prepay model. But likely that would take regulation because it doesn't benefit the decision makers.

Additionally the status quo is such that the employer is earning interest on a pay period worth of capital, while the employee is eating the inflation on it. A spread of about 4 interest + 4 inflation = 8%
> that's "dear junior sales team members, please don't put your opinion of the client in writing, in the unlikely event they ask for a data dump they might be a bit miffed"

One of my first moves running a trading team is reducing or eliminating internal chat. I don’t think I’ve gone a week without at least one client receiving an inappropriate nickname. It’s harmless. But it’s not something you want showing up in discovery or a regulatory inquiry.
