Ukraine’s Operational Command South has confirmed that an explosion on Tuesday morning destroyed the Nova Kakhovka dam, which guards the Kherson region’s coastal cities against a reservoir with water levels currently at a 30-year high. In a statement on Facebook, the Ukrainian military accused Russian occupation forces of blowing up the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant. The loss of the dam is expected to unleash flood waters downstream and exacerbate Ukraine’s energy shortages after months of Russian missile strikes targeting power generation and grid facilities across the country.
Maybe they are making that comparison for the people they want to upgrade to the new macs and not for people that just got their M1 MacBooks.. making m1 to m2 comparison for intel mac users would not make much sense in that case.
I have over 2 million Marriott points. On their online store, I can get a Macbook Pro with M2 with a 1TB HD. Or I can get an iPad Pro with a 2TB HD. I know this pain, as a cheapskate with too many points from work travel :(
>Everyone. It's a laptop replacement.

Respectfully, even the iPad hasn't fully evolved into a laptop replacement, so why should we think this device will fit all the multitude of use cases that necessitate the computing power represented by a laptop / desktop device?
This is either the mother of all CIA psyops trying to frighten US adversaries, or it’s real, or both.
Depends how far down the rabbit hole of support you want to go I suppose.
This article currently has much more information (as of the time of posting)

Have lots of layers, accountants, execs, and a few surgeons in the extended family, especially on my wife's side. Most of them use Macs as their personal computers, and some of them have already upgraded to M1 and M2 mac pros.

Lot's rich people out there, bro. Some of them probably suffered to adapt to Mac OS after years of using Windows, but since every new version of Windows is now a different OS from the UX perspective, they all adapted themselves to Mac OS, because they wouldn't want to be seen in an airport lounge or an expensive coffee answering their emails in plastic Samsung book.

Also, most people never upgraded their laptops, this is simply not an important selling point, and even less in the premium segment. Repairability? From the user's perspective, It is repairable, they have Apple Care, and they drop their broken laptop in a counter, and sometime later they collect a functioning laptop.
And why they wouldn't like the hardware? The CPU is fast, it hardly ever heats enough to spin the fans, the screen is great, the keyboard now is good enough, and the touchpad is still probably the best one on the market.

Your plenty of reasons don't seem very solid to me.
If you wanna follow an interesting rabbit hole, listen to Hamilton Morris and Dr. Andrew Gallimore chat in a recent video:

If anything has peaked your curiosity, consider his books “Alien Information Theory” and “Reality Switch Technologies”

Also, DMTx is undeniably interesting from my point of view. We’ve recently completed a trial involving hour long sessions in extended DMT state
We might be at a point where that could change. This device seems like it could be close to providing the performance needed to start running productivity apps, and it also provides the screen real estate. Those types of apps have to be coming to iOS in the next few years.
> To be fair it where the late 90th, early 2000 ;) Internet wasn‘t even big for me.

Disclaimer: thank goodness I don't have any kids, so this is not a parenting advice. Just my own story.

I grew up around the same era and computing was a huge thing for me. I've had my first computer (ZX Spectrum 48k) when I was 6, first IBM PC-compatible when I was around 9, first dial-up Internet access around 14. I don't really remember the ages TBH (except the 6, because I left some evidence by hardcoding my age in a BASIC program), so they're plus-minus couple years.

But then Internet was different back in the day. Pay-per-minute dial-up, 14kbps on a good day, so the best available time killer was reading jokes and anecdotes from FidoNet or Usenet, offline. Endless meaningless feeds the whole day wasn't a thing. And when tech got better my interests were already ingrained in me.

Looking back, it changed the trajectory of my whole life, and in a good way. I've had all the latest tech news, talked to smart people, and was able to learn lots of things - all when I've still had that virtually infinite energy and my brain was much more agile than today. So with some luck, I was able to seize some opportunities. The history has no "if"s, but I can't imagine things would've went half as good, would I not be into computers back then.

But also, wouldn't I have that curiosity, limited attention span (any game got boring pretty fast) and innate desire to entertain myself by tinkering with whatever random thing was available, I guess it could've went nowhere.

Now, the subject at hand is drastically different - phones now and personal computers back then are hard to compare fairly. Except that my parents back then weren't always exactly fond of me setting all day and night in front some screen rather than playing with other kids (or whatever). But they tolerated it and appraised my successes.

Morale is, I think, it all depends on the kid - not on the tech - how they're gonna spend their time and where they'll head in their life. Some will create new things, some will just drown themselves in Modern Internet's firehose of shit (maybe there was something similar back in the day and I'm just blissfully unaware, hah). I'm glad my parents have provided me with things I've had, letting my energy flow into something not just non-harmful but actually somewhat useful, and that their only real interference was in indirect moral guidance by me see some good and bad examples.
They'll make you see the state of your own mind. Literally, they throw noise into the normal visual system and cause memory and emotional state to bleed over into the visual field.

It's a good way to monitor your own mental state, if you start seeing horrors that's a reflection that something is bothering you. This is why traditional users of psychedelics would screen people for mental illness before group sessions, and why it was not uncommon in those societies to have a 'mentally ill' person take a large dose of psychedelics while having a half dozen people around them to make sure they didn't hurt themselves.

"We do not see things as they are, we see them as we are"

"In a dream, we see only what is reflected by our own thoughts"

Now if you have a state of complete mental equilibrium, you won't see much from taking psychedelics other than an intensification of colors, a sharpening of edges, and an intense interest in everything you're seeing. Some fractal-like visualizations are pretty common, but isn't nature actually fractal?
Of course not. The title alone should've made you expect such things.
It appears like that is not the case for many people. You aren't the target market.
True. Honestly, probably the best thing you could do is to start drilling solid information literacy habits, skepticism, and critical reasoning skills into kids sooner rather than later.
> What could be worse than IPv6?

IPv4?

But seriously, I appreciate that the blog was written using IPv6, not some other old and deprecated legacy tech.
I don't think it can simulate any app. Likely, it is a feature akin Continuity, and you have to have corresponding app installed on your Vision Pro to pick it up from Mac and continue working on a headset.
If there was one to make, Apple would make or subsidise it, guaranteed.

Even after reading loads of comments no one can really think of one.
Yes, but based on anecdata
from that same sampling, you can also conclude everyone’s profession is podcast host and primary mode of transportation is by fixie bike.
Sounds good to me. If they're serious about a paradigm shift, they've at least got the work put in place to start replacing iPhones and iPads for some users.

> Vision will have more battery life and will be charged wirelessly.

> The battery life of Vision will be similar to the first version of Apple Watch.

And you think they're making it smaller? Big ol' "citation needed" on that one.
> It doesn't sound like prior efforts work well for that use case at all.

Fwiw, this is essentially correct for all consumer grade HMDs prior to the end of 2022. Fresnel lenses meant you could only achieve (relative) text clarity inside a small sweet spot.

Pancake optics made this more of a question of panel resolution due to their nearly edge-to-edge clarity. The problem is that the two currently available pancake lens devices are the Pico 4 and the Quest Pro: neither of which have quite enough underlying pixels to make the “working in headset” dream viable.

I absolutely DON’T recommend the Quest Pro as a replacement monitor for that very reason. It CAN reasonably approximate a 1080p monitor, but not at a visual distance most people would be comfortable with using for extended times. Similar experience to using a large TV as a monitor (though not quite THAT bad). When you’re that up close and personal with your virtual display, adding extra desktops doesn’t really help much.

“Vision Pro” has pancake optics and a very dense display panel so the “sitting in front of a TV” thing shouldn’t be an issue. I’m very excited to try one out.
They did mention that their dual chip pipeline/low latency reduces the "woozy" effects (because it lines up better with what your brain is expecting I guess). It will be interesting to see
> Usenet was at one point a huge portion of internet traffic.

Usenet posts were just text that may have been several kilobytes in size at most. If you look at binary newsgroups, the current level of internet traffic is quite large[1] (though that was 12 years ago and is by now multiple petabytes per day).

Scorched earth retreats are also a time-honored Soviet and Russian military strategy.
I went through these horrors and came out stronger and less fearful.
Was it really bullshit? I dare say that if you look at home computing platforms available in the early 1980s, most had no first-party support for third-party memory upgrades.
“Third party” is not an excuse for “first party”

First party is fully responsible for what vendors they choose to use. As a customer, I have little insight into that.

Mac OS is a bit old, from a time when menus ruled supreme in GUI applications. You can find most of that stuff in the menu.
I think explicit & transitive trust is a strategy worth exploring. If you trust accounts made by people that you know personally, and you transitively trust the people that they trust (say... five hops). That's going to be a significant portion of humanity.

If you start getting a little spam, you explicitly revoke trust in the spammers. If you get a lot of spam, revoke trust in whoever you trusted that trusted the spammers, etc. A little bit of social graph hygiene ought to go a long way against spam, so long as we're trusting people and not platforms. We're practiced at one of those and not the other.
Is it possible to separate free speech from free consequences? I'm not sure it can be. From your house, to government, to nature, doesn't every person/place have their own set of compromises/laws/rules for every set of conditions? Are you saying there should be no laws or no moderation, anywhere, at all? I don't think you mean to. Also, should 'online' be distinct/exempt from all other human endeavours, where rules don't apply? Anywhere there is a line between individuals and governments regarding free speech, and indeed law, then neither free speech, or law, exist truly. But it is difficult to give an example of a country where this is not so.

I am reminded of the other hot potato 'privacy'. The 'Solid Project' has an interesting way of dealing with that, which may also have a positive effect on how free speech evolves.
I've noticed the hype and the doomsayers implying both.
> If Reddit just had an NNTP bridge, people would flock to it and never know the differece.

I never really looked into it, but if someone were to make a NNTP bridge for reddit, Hacker News, and other similar websites, would it be against their respective TOSs?
Not to say for sure Apple Silicon chips support HW AV1 decode, but I would speculate that recent generations of their SoCs may have hardware support behind a software limitation through the lack of APIs.

Under /System/Library/Video/Plug-Ins/AppleVideoDecoder.bundle there's a Info.plist, inside there are references to AV1, below that is VTIsHardwareAccelerated = true.

AVD refers to Apple Silicon HW decoder. Side note, GVA means Intel, VCP means AMD.

I guess it will be like the situation of VP9. It was available at first via a special entitlement to YouTube iOS app [1] (com.apple.developer.coremedia.allow-alternate-video-decoder-selection) and later opened to all apps.

Yeah. Like... monitoring network activity on the VPN for security is one of the areas I would be surprised if the employer IT wasn't doing. I don't know why that would surprise anybody.
I will age myself and maybe out myself but while infosys may not have been a dream job during my college days (pre infosys IPO), it soon was. The company probably wasn't any different in skills but there weren't too many people in tech those days. Minuscule. And post IPO infosys laid the foundation well those days, sold the company well and was indeed a dream job at least for a little while. But that's ancient history now.
Exactly. They will just announce a slimmer version of the Vision Pro, maybe (Apple 'Vision') and turn it into a pair of glasses.

I expect the first visionOS product to do badly initially, then the next generation will have its 'iPhone' moment.

"The whistleblower, David Charles Grusch, claims in a complaint that the Pentagon, other nations, and defense contractors have recovered fragments “of exotic origin (non-human intelligence, whether extraterrestrial or unknown origin) based on the vehicle morphologies and material science testing and the possession of unique atomic arrangements and radiological signatures.” Grusch goes on to state that the “material includes intact and partially intact vehicles."”

"[...]Grusch is a 36-year-old combat veteran of Afghanistan who was a member of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, the program run by the Office of Naval Intelligence to investigate UFO sightings. From 2019 to 2021, he served on the task force as the representative of the National Reconnaissance Office, considered one of the big five of the U.S. intelligence agencies. His colleagues think highly of him, too. Karl Nell, a retired Army colonel who was also on the UFO task force, told the Debrief that Grusch was “beyond reproach.” Nell even backed up one of Grusch’s claims in the complaint: that there is an ongoing competition with other countries to “identify [UFO] crashes/landings and retrieve the material for exploitation/reverse engineering.”"

Sure, that's a story from 1983 but it is in direct conflict with facts. I have owned several powerbooks, macbooks, and macbook pros and up until fairly recently they were all upgradeable with respect to RAM and drives.
> Photoshop wasn't the one to solve this, as others have mentioned.

Photoshop has used scratch files and it's own virtual memory system since long before adobe bought macromedia
And what if the psyop is you being conditioned to condition me into believing that I'm being conditioned into interpreting it like that?

You can talk in circles all you like, but at the end of the day basic rationality rules. Look at the playing field, look at what's at stake, look at the current state of affairs in the world, look at who has to gain what, and it's all rather obvious. If you can't see through that then it's on you.
All your examples involve visuals though. Given our visual system is such a critical part of how we experience and interpret the world, I wouldn't say focusing on the visuals is "hugely underselling" hallucinogens.

Your last point - complete disassociation from normal reality - is a hallmark of all hallucinogens, in my experience.
I find this so interesting because it's pretty close to the discussion on the iPad as well. It is positioned as the best of both world with touch first, and keyboard + trackpad as needed. But we kinda saw how it went from the first pitch to the current situation with the incredible hardware the iPad Pro has.

There will be a gap between "it's fine with touch" and "I need to wipe out a keyboard and trackpad", and if you regularly switch between one and the other mode, one of them will get partly compromised. We're seeing this with the Quest2 as well: hand tracking works well enough until it doesn't, and you start looking for where you left the controller.

If they can solve it on the Vision Pro it would be amazing.

> but people already spend $3500+ on monitor setups somewhat regularly

I don't know a single person who has such an expensive monitor (or a set of monitors). And none of my employers, current or past, would ever agree to spend that much on a monitor setup.

You can buy a 4K OLED monitor for a fraction of that.
- settlements on river banks will be swept away
- the biggest nuclear power plant in Europe, ZNPP, won't be restarted due to lack of cooling
- Crimea will lost access to fresh water
- First line of defence for both sides are swept away.
- it will be harder for Ukraine side to mount an amphibious assault

So it's a lose-lose situation for everyone.
There should be more emphasis on taking things slow and doing it right in the healthcare industry. I've also seen stuff that suggests overworked healthcare providers make more mistakes.

The actual list is here, the article only shows a couple of them.

Scanning through them, my first impression is that they seem pretty accurate to my own experience, and that the nicer ones all come from lower doses, while the nasty ones are associated with higher doses.

Less is more when it comes to hallucinogens.
I don't know about the others, but there are indeed people like me in India developing and maintaining non-cool, not on Github, free software. If you're here on Hacker News, there's actually a pretty good chance you've run, directly or indirectly, code I've written without even registering it.
> These devices are quickly changing childhood for children. Playing outdoors, spending time with friends, reading books and hanging out with family is happening a lot less to make room for hours of snap chatting, instagramming, and catching up on You Tube.

I feel like this rhetoric also existed when I was in middle school, well before smartphones. The villain then was TV and violent video games, and there were similar campaigns to “cut the cord” (I remember my school having a giant fake plug a bunch of kids pulled of of a socket symbolically). The idea then, as now, was that kids are spending less time outdoors, reading books, etc.

I think this is a perennial reaction of parents to a changing world and the disparity between their childhood and their children’s childhoods.
Sure, but we expect Reddit to treat people badly because that's how it's been for a long time.

But OP doesn't specify whether he's using Stripe Checkout integration (where stripe 100% control the landing page hosted in stripe domain) or other integration types (e.g. direct API call / embed which has higher risk). With Stripe Checkout integration type, you redirect users to a payment page hosted by stripe and have no ability to check whether the user is performing card testing there because the payment page is in stripe's domain, so stripe should be the one responsible with card testing prevention when using this discussion integration type.

Parents usually don't want others, especially companies, spending all their time trying to get their kids addicted to stuff, influencing their minds, and changing their behavior. There's a lot that can go wrong with letting random assholes parent your kids more than you.
