Does SO have APIs you can submit answers to at an unthrottled rate? That doesn't seem like it'd be in their interest to have built - if you limited each account to posting one answer every 30min, that would prevent quite a bit of spamming, seems like?
Which means that M1 (previous gen) REAL numbers beat maximal theoretical numbers of ampere.
> (Some) crypto is a deflationary store. There are not many deflationary stores, and the ones that exist (like precious metals) either require a lot of effort to store and secure, or you hold a claim on some precious metal somewhere and not the thing itself. Lots of people want a deflationary store, especially in a time when inflation looks like a fact of life!

I'm curious how true is that in practice? I get that there can only be so many Bitcoins (for example), but if there can be infinitely many different coins AND no consensus on what THE coin is, then how protected is the value actually?
If you're going to write something that's going to be seen in 10 years, it's good for it to be right!
> Why do you believe that the "Apple hardware tax" here is being applied to some pieces of aluminium, rather than to their extremely-high-CapEx investment into a new SoC?

Sometimes it does seem to be applied to pieces of aluminum, like the $999 stand for the Pro Display XDR.

But your point is a good one that many people seem to forget: a lot of the tax is to recoup their massive investment in developing their own Apple Silicon SoCs as well as the OS and other software.
No one will create the killer app because they won't have enough people to buy it. They aren't going to sell 100 million of these things. They will sell 1 million to prosumers. But you can't make a killer high-end game on a completely new system with completely new features with such a limited market, they would need to sell it everyone to make money. That's the real problem with AR/VR. You need critical mass in the number of users to justify people building mass-market appeal games and apps. The goggles need to not have a cord, be 1/3 as heavy, and 1/4 the price, and then we will get mass adoption. My gut says we are 3 generations away. But it will happen.
Yup, I was waiting for eGPU support to come back to the mac this year but it looks like no dice :/
Apple's largely been affordable luxury that 100's of millions buy. They're more akin to buying Starbucks over Dunk donuts. Their products usually would be in the price range of 1.3-1.5x more expensive than competitors but offering something which is uniquely good. This product is 3.5X more expensive than the next comparable device while missing key capabilities.
And the reason can’t be the Uber platform is broken, or I had 5 drivers cancel in advance
> I will never understand how Reddit bungled this so badly.

Are we living in different universes?

Less than 1% of Reddit users will be impacted by these changes. If all the people who are upset at this leave, it will have almost no impact to Reddit. A few niche subreddits may die, but that's it.
Is it true that Lemmy censors casual profanity like "bitch"? I first heard of Lemmy a few days ago, in the context of somebody dismissing it because it allegedly performs such censorship.
> You don't just need a desk. You need a desk in addition to your share of a series of hallways that go to your desk, an elevator, a staircase, conference rooms, a lunch room etc.

All of which are shared throughout the workday, unless someone hired me to be the only one in the building, which seems like a poor decision. The parking spot I take is mine for the day though.

> Nobody cares about 320 square feet for a parking space when it's sitting next to >35,000 square feet of grass.

It isn't about the size of the plot, but what its usage is for. Tell a person about to have diarrhea in the middle of a mall that the bathroom is out of service, and panic will surely ensue.

> The thing preventing this isn't that we have so many parking spaces. You could add a hundred million more parking spaces at strip malls and things and it would use up 0.04% of the land in the continental US and be totally irrelevant.

Ah yeah, and dumping 100 million barrels of oil off the coast of California will be totally irrelevant because the ocean is very, very big. The thing about parking spaces is that they are usually where people are, so even if you're using arable land for calculation, a parking space isn't just randomly thrown down somewhere, it is condensed into places with lots of traffic. But I love how you calculate the relevancy/irrelevancy of such massive changes in the snap of a finger. I really hope you don't ever estimate anything of actual value.
Performance wise it doesn't matter for most projects like games where allocations aren't done in hot paths anyway.

Problem with tcmalloc is fragmentation. Luckily I can then on aggressive decommit in some scenarios and that helps.
I don't know how spoof resistant the feature will be. Hopefully Apple has thought about this, they probably have at least considered it.

Whether or not this is doxing will depend on the way this feature works. If it works like WhatsApp (where anyone with your phone number can look up your profile picture and status and that's considered Works As Intended) then it won't be long until every phone number has been mapped. If it works push-only, with new image URLs being generated for each call, I'm not so sure if it can be abused.

I'm sure security researchers will have some very interesting blogs about this system in the months to come.
Interesting. Are there other apps and services like Resistbot?

As if that question makes the idea less insane.
I'm not really following what your argument for "ML is not a subset of AI in common usage" here is exactly.

AI as an umbrella term has been the usage in the whole CS field for decades upon decades.

A few marketing people trying to hijack and misuse the term over the past 5–10 years didn't just magically change the meaning that has been very well established for a long time.
It's locked to your irises. Unless they're going to gouge out your eyeballs Minority Report style then it's not of much use.
Coinbase is a public company and has genuine audits - I'd be surprised if they failed for any reason other than Crypto being outlawed.
A lot of this stuff was also in the CFTC complaint.

I wonder if they snagged a backup of an insider's phone.
Really? I found this so shocking I just got up and checked and around here 7 out of 11 people have their laptop screen in use.

I use it as a screen for my slack/discord/email and have my two main screens above it. It's true I use my two main screens more, but if I didn't have my laptop I'd want a small third screen to replace it.
its just a bunch of IPFS and ETH gateways. I haven't tried it myself, but I think there's a desktop application you can install that connects to IPFS natively. I don't know if they're running their own ETH node, but probably not.
Is he wrong as in “mistaken” or knowingly wrong as in “lied”?

Or the third and pernicious type “willfully ignorant of facts that would disprove his chosen narrative?”

Huh, I suppose I can answer the question for myself…
Well depends on what you compare. Smartphones and tablets tend to be on the more affordable side, but everything else not so much. Their monitor stand is about 8-12x the price of a top of the line competitor while still just being a hunk of metal.
*compared to their own offerings half a decade older than the current mid-range competition.
government camera: bad.

Big Tech conglomerate mega corporation camera: good.

Often that's the (false) choice being presented; and somehow "no camera at all" isn't on the menu.
Average wouldn't be the relevant calculation here. The study linked in this article is paywalled, but from the the excerpted paragraphs, seems much more grounded and compelling than the quote you pull, and doesn't make a poor -> racial jump.
AI is a general term with very fuzzy meaning, much like intelligence. This is on purpose as we don't understand these things well and their definitions/usage reflect that.
I think when Hispanic is listed as an option, white usually is changed to mean that you only identify as white, no other ethnicities.
Oh sweet summer notarized child...
Their entire lives have been lived with little privacy. Cameras are just a part of their everyday lives - in and outside of the home. Many have had their entire adolescence recorded and displayed as their parents trophies. And that doesn’t even count how surveilled they are online by companies seeking to make a few pennies off their attention.

I’d love to be surprised by this, but I’m not.
I am using Caprover, and I assume Sandstorm is similar. While the idea is good, and it works well, finding supported apps is hard. Many apps have to develop individually config files for each such platform and maintain them updated. Very few platforms do it.

In the end, I find the LAMP stack the best for self-hosting, especially with an interface like cPanel. You can simply upload files and the app works (PHP), you can view the databases (PHPMyAdmin), most hosting companies support it, there are many apps built on it.
That's an interesting point. Maybe I'm missing the idea that no party cares much about the poor / working class.
I did not intend to classify Clojure as "not a Lisp". I didn't intend to comment on Clojure at all, specifically, so commenting on this particular thread was an ill-conceived choice on my part.

I wanted to describe the source-code peculiarity because it hadn't been discussed elsewhere in the comments and I think it's important in what you might call old-fashioned Lispiness. I should have chosen another place for my comment. Sorry about that.
No, I don't. Hitmen being unavailable would make it a non-issue, and conspiracy to commit murder is already a crime. As I mentioned in another comment in this thread, the US justice system (and French, giving credit where it is due) is designed to protect the innocent minority, not pursue the guilty majority. Patchwork legislation and wasting resources pursuing consumers instead of providers results in an eroding of basic civil liberties that may not be immediately apparent when one is focused solely on the issues used to provoke such concessions.
For another week or two anyway.
What if government instituted an app, where if you didn’t regularly have your 24/7 tracking device on you with gps, gyroscope and speaker on you couldn’t enter any buildings or leave your house.

That was quite literally NYC, Ireland, and most of the “democracies” in the world the past few years.

What did you think that QR code pass was lol
Just imagine that every comment you responded to was someone else performing the same kind of "experiment." Does it change how much you want to engage with the community?
For what it's worth, this was with an HTC Vive of some kind. However, the screen pixel densities don't change when you do foveated rendering, it's more of a performance trick - the GPU focuses most of its compute power on what you are looking at.
So in the implementation of cos_table_*_LERP, you did technically 2 step range reduction:

1. Reduce x = x mod 2*pi

2. Reduce index = floor(x / 10^-n), and i - index = 10^n * (x mod 10^-n)

With limited input range and required precision as in the tests, you can combine these 2 range reduction steps:

1. Choose the reduced range as power of 2 instead of power of 10 for cheaper modulus operation, let say 2^-N = 2^-7.

2. Avoid the division in modd(x, CONST_2PI) by multiplying by 2^N / pi.

3. Avoid the round trip double -> int -> double by using the floor function / instruction.

Here is the updated version of cos_table_*_LERP which should have higher throughput and lower latency:

double cos_table_128_LERP(double x) {
x = fabs(x);
double prod = x * TWO_TO_SEVEN_OVER_PI;
double id = floor(prod);
double x = prod - id; /* after this step, 0 <= x < 1 */
int i = ((int)id) & 0xFF; /* i = id mod 2^8 */
return lerp(x, COS_TABLE[i], COS_TABLE[i + 1]);
}

You can also optimize lerp a bit more with the formula:

lerp(w, v1, v2) = (1 - w) * v1 + w * v2 = w * (v2 - v1) + v1

We do employ this range reduction strategy in a more accurate way for trig functions in LLVM libc:

- with FMA instructions: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/libc/src/math/generic/range_reduction_fma.h

- without FMA instructions: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/libc/src/math/generic/range_reduction.h
> $550 for a pair of headphones is a lot, but it's not even close to top of the range

It's top of the range for typical consumers. The people who wear Apple's $550 headphones aren't people who are buying Sennheiser HD800s'. Before, people would've spent $200 or up to $300 on the Bose ones. Apple got them to spend an extra $200-250.

I'm surprised by how often I see these headphones. They were basically nonexistent in the Bay Area but I see them often enough in NYC.
This product release marks the beginning of the Spacer/Settler divide.
Gosh this is a horrible spiral I've been going through as well. My personal experience is:

1) WP: You start with promising yourself to never touch any PHP and will still end up in this mess. I always regretted setting up WP few days/weeks after.

2) Gatsby/Next: I'm saying this as one of those frontend hipsters: For a personal blog, just don't. The npm ecosystem imho got so messy that it always added more pain to actually start writing.

3) Hugo: just do it. It's small, fast, nice and once you wrapped your head around their taxonomy and theme model, it's really nice and easy to extend and fun to actually blog.

My 2 cents. Your mileage may vary.
This has been some years ago. Notably, I observed this in relation to search suggestions. You could enter a search and get zero results, but a day later or two, you'd get at least a suggested search term (regardless how accurate or meaningless this may have been). So I guessed, these were built up, at least partly, retroactively. With results now happily including these "sympathetically adjusted search terms" without presenting this as an explicit option, I'd guess, this may now apply automatically.
Agreed. VR/AR headsets are amazing for gaming, and I imagine could be pretty useful for 3d modelling type applications too. But after the novelty wore off for me I couldn't imagine using it over just a regular screen for basically anything else.
> though using drag and drop with touchpads (or touchscreens) is a bit of a chore

Having been playing a lot of the new Zelda game, I'm now convinced that I should be able to drag-and-drop files by wiggling the mouse randomly around an object until it gets picked up, and then not having to hold anything until I click again to put it down.

> Sometimes you have to pre-arrange your windows before you drag and drop or you run the risk of dragging and dropping in the wrong place.

Stupid pro-tip that nobody should need but here it is anyway: on macOS, you can three-finger-swipe-up with your index+middle+ring finger while "holding" the drag with your thumb, to get into Mission Control; then hover over the correct window for a while, which will close Mission Control and bring that window into focus; and then drop.
I wouldn't trust a CATO study.
> I stand by the assertion that pharma gets undeserved sympathy for long patent terms.

Sure. That's an assertion that's easy to stand by because it's so easy for it to be true because it's so open ended and unbounded.

I think most people believe the pharma companies are playing it up some and getting some undue sympathy, but 10x the sympathy and 10% more sympathy are vastly different situations and your assertion is "true" for both. It's less a question of whether that assertion is true, and more about to what degree, because that's what really matters in a discussion like this.

A statement about the median cost of a single study across an industry compared to pharma revenue (across an industry, across all studies done, whether resulting in a successful product that can make it to market and earn revenue), is not something we can make useful assertions from, whether or not I believe your assertion to be true (I do). It's just throwing disjointed numbers around and using implications instead of data to link them, which isn't a useful way to convince people who want to understand what's going on.

Did anyone say porn yet?

Looks like no.

So I guess I’ll say it.
The first question that pops into my head is why you’d work on a curved monitor (of which there still doesn’t exist a high resolution model) as a software engineer. Do you find the workspace on a single curved display sufficient?

My primary concern with the Apple headset is the relatively low resolution of 23M pixels. Our eyes can perceive so much more detail, and I’m afraid the low resolution will reintroduce pixellation as is commonly seen on low end and curved displays.
Agreed, bur just give this to some cool people, they'll figure it out
Nope. The service, like any other, is them hosting the software (Sandstorm) and the software/apps you choose to run therein.

It’s also open source, so you can choose to host Sandstorm yourself, instead of using their service.

You didn’t ask what Sandstorm is, so I’m assuming you already understand what it is.
both parties are of the establishment elite.
It's not false, and it's not "full-on misinformation". You provide zero sources to refute this claim, and claim that you "live there", as if that makes a single difference with the statistics or data.

Sweden indeed has the lowest excess deaths from all cause mortality, according to the OECD statistics referenced and linked to in this article, which is one of hundred published on this topic. Note that Sweden's excess deaths were not the lowest in the height of the pandemic, but fell to the lowest in 2022.

"Conspiracy theory territory" is an ad-hominem smear with zero substance behind it. I said nothing in my comment to claim any "conspiracy", and if you think that then you should reread what I wrote.
No, I literally did a site: search seconds after visiting the site to see if it had any other pages with what I was looking for, and it found zero results --- not even the original page I found.
The apps you can run on the 3+ visionOS "screens" will be limited compared to what you can run on a Mac
Just an advert.
Man, I was trying to think of examples of cool stuff we can do now that we couldn't in the 90s, and came up pretty short.. It's quicker and easier to load up bite-sized games in the web browser nowadays, but that comes with a whole mess of really awful dystopian shit and a lot of 100x code speed de-improvements thanks to JavaScript, Design Patterns, etc.
How about everyone taking a long flight or just staying at a hotel etc?

That IMO is where VR glasses are actually a pretty good fit. Carry lightweight laptop through the airport and still get to use a 32” monitor on the go. Granted the current hardware not exactly ideal, but it’s close enough to be a reasonable option.
Lol, not even Apple can make VR not seem stupid AF
Can't wait for the gothic horror renaissance, but instead of Ouija boards and ghosts, it's LLaMas and Apple Scuba Glasses.
>It can be 'interpreted' by the judge, who takes on the role of the feudal lord of the earlier times

The judge is separate from the prosecution (who are referred to in court as "the state" or "the government"). This is called "judicial independence".

>The persecution or the defendant can negotiate any outcome...

...provided that outcome is preferable to having the jury decide.

>Which obligates the need for lying

No, that's perjury if done under oath. Or, in the case of prosecutorial misconduct, grounds for a mistrial.

>The ENTIRE rest of the world uses the civil law system

No, it does not.

>which descended in turn from the French Revolutionary principles.

No, it's even older than that.

>It cannot be 'interpreted'

You have never been sued in France, and you have never seen the inside of a US courtroom except on TV.

>Which is also the reason why the lawyers get upper middle class salaries and income in entire rest of the world but make obscene, irrational income in the US

The average US lawyer makes less money than the average web developer in the Bay Area.

>In Europe, judges and lawyers and prosecutors function more like clerks - the law is clear and solid.

Europe, equipped with legal technology far in advance of what the Anglophone world must deal with, has eliminated ambiguity in language to such an extent that the legal profession there is now a form of bookkeeping. Soon, the Sorbonne law faculty will be replaced by Droite-GPT (which will still take the month of August off, because reasons...)

>In the rest of the world that does not happen - there is no way to negotiate down any sentence that may befall on your corporation, but most importantly, you, the perpetrator...

The Code Napoleon has eliminated corporate malfeasance in the non-english-speaking world. Quite remarkable.
Yeah the kids playing scene felt like a clip from Black Mirror. I would never want to relive memories like that when I can just go hug my kid, and if they weren’t alive it would destroy my mental health to see them in that high fidelity without being able to hug them.

What a strange demo.
Planned Parenthood was founded by people vocally in favor of eugenics. Does that affect the organization's credibility today? Or should we judge them based on what they're doing now instead of the past?
> I just think that's not an intrinsic to VR

It is for now for at least half or more of the current apps. The exceptions tend to be the driving or flying sim games. Developers do try to cater to less active users, but from my personal observation if you don’t like being active then you probably won’t enjoy VR in its current state, which your first hand experience supports. It looks like Apple will change it though, and I’m sure their competition will copy them shortly
Even if the OS-wide colorblind mode is well-implemented, it's a one-size-fits-all approach that doesn't take into account the specific functionality and design choices of a particular app, game, or website, or the differing levels of colorblindness even among a specific type like protanopia.

My partner is partly colorblind, but the default colorblind modes in a lot of games don't help her. The color palettes chosen by the game designers are still hard to distinguish even with these modes enabled -- even for stuff as simple and crucial as "my team" versus "enemy team". She says the best games are ones that let her customize the color palette to her specific needs. This would also help users who aren't colorblind but find that certain high-contrast palettes are easier to see -- or easier on the eyes, a la dark mode.

In short, the built-in modes are better than nothing, but they can't make up for poor design choices.
5 minutes with an existing eye tracker will show that this is completely infeasible. Your eyes move too much for it to work.

Perhaps you could use it to bring windows forward.
I worked at a games company that only made casual games and we had individual users who spent more that $3500 per month, admittedly not many, but more than one.
