I'd love to know more about this electric race car, the telemetry system, technology behind it, etc. Do you have a blog (or can you recommend a place) where you do deeper on this subject matter?
A chip with probable silkscreen “HM82C42” was found. Googling does not turn up anything but given the amount of traces going to this chip, I’m going to suspect this is the keyboard controller to the PS/2 interface.

A PC's keyboard controller is also known as an 8042, based on the original Intel microcontroller it used, so 82C42 is obviously a variant of it from a different manufacturer. No surprise that Google doesn't work --- it's gotten increasingly horrible for finding less well-known part numbers and such: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36195600

I suspect someone may have gotten a batch of NOS embedded PC boards with this SoC and decided it would be a good opportunity to sell them to the retrocomputing community. That explains the CF and choice of I/O, as well as the 94-95 datecodes on the ICs.

That's one of the great fantasies in crypto: "The geek shall inherit the earth"

There's no reason to believe banks and governments haven't been stacking crypto. The argument is that it wouldn't go unnoticed and large buys would drive up the price, but a well-run purchasing project could easily handle "small" purchases over a long-term, especially if the goal is control and not price speculation.
Exactly. Especially in this case, where we knew this was coming for months. It's generating a response because people have been waiting to talk about it since the rumors started.

For myself, my "unimpressed" reaction is because the experience they're selling is the same as what Meta has been trying and failing to sell for years now. It's definitely typical Apple—wait for the tech to mature and execute better than anyone else—but I'm unconvinced there's an actual need being filled here.

The iPhone took a market that had already taken off in business—PDAs—and blew the roof of of it by revolutionizing the tech. The VR-for-productivity market is practically non-existent, and even in gaming it's still very niche. Neither are anywhere near where PDAs and Blackberries were when the iPhone made it big.

I'm just not convinced the "execute better" strategy will work when there is no proven market.

It looks like you either dial up/down the immersion, so you could always see people at the fringes, or the passthrough would mean you could see someone like a steward appearing to get your attention.
The iPhone predates the iPod Touch.
Anyone with little kids who like to play outside who also happened to own an Oculus already "knew" this (maybe it's just my family): my kids' favorite game on the Oculus is to spray paint the "play area" in the combined B&W 'outside' rendering. They've always demanded to be able to play beat sabers but also to be able to "see the room", so they can see their friends when they play. They don't even care that it's crappy, low-quality B&W; actually, that's kind of a charming feature!

I think what's stopped other companies is that it was too damn hard; not that it wasn't the obviously superior way of doing things. (Obviously superior: render AR onto VR.)
Schrödinger should have used a goldfish.
I think the key will be if they can make it so the next generation of iPhones can record videos for Apple Vision. If they cannot do that, I think they're really goofing up.
Porn was the use-case behind the invention of internet payments.

Why are so many people (outwardly) against porn when it's one of the biggest digital markets in the world?
Very nice UI! But I can't find my Mastodon or Bluesky accounts (@danny@mastodon.spesh.com / danny.spesh.com )
Yeah it's why I said seriously started--I'm sure this idea was floating around and the tech worked on for a decade or more, but only in the last couple years did they decide it was viable to make a consumer product. I'm sure Facebook ramping up and betting big on metaverse helped Apple decide to keep going on shipping it.
Why would NBA allow for this as they would lose an extreme amount of money if people can get the same experience at home?

That would be economic suicide for them. They need to keep the seats being a special experience.
Tired of what? I don't understand.

I have a very comfortable third-party head strap (BOBOVR M2) and cooling facial interface so I don't really notice that I'm even wearing a headset after a few minutes.
I'm on the fence about XR and I for sure won't buy a "Pro" grade device. But regarding your point about reality shaping: Sometimes it's just obvious. When I saw the presentation for the iPhone, I know this was the first phone I really really wanted - everything about it was compelling. I guess this what some XR enthusiasts feel about this device.
Why is the SEC regulating crypto at all? By their definition anything can be a security.
I think if you start to include the cost of developing Vision OS on top of iOS, and cost of all the custom silicone Apple have in this, then you can approach that figure.

They have the advantage that they had a lot of this in place for their portables. Magic did not and had to start from scratch.

I suppose it's hard to judge how much of the R&D cost for Apple silicone, their cameras, LiDAR and iOS should be counted as costs for the Vision Pro.
Is Tesla really doing that bad at sales? The Model Y just became the worlds best selling car.
I'm hoping they're going to do this, but without them saying so, it makes me worry they created something amazing but with poor execution.
Its not projection, rather well known cases that specifically porn enabled technologies like VHS to gather mass adoption, even over technologically superior tech.

Like it or not, doesn't matter if on extreme left or right or anywhere in between, people en masse like it. That they often don't admit it publicly is another topic. Can't beat a billion years of evolution baked into the very foundation of each of us.

The only way the US government can effectively enforce their regulations is to kill the exchanges and then try to make sure that organic trade can't happen. How else can they exert control over something like Monero except attempt to kill it? What is option B? It is not hyperbole to observe the obvious; something has to give.

It is notable that the crimes here are victimless. I don't recall if I have ever bought anything on Coinbase; but the VIOLATIONS section of the complaint isn't accusing them of anything I care about in my capacity as a crypto trader.
The old “if the issue doesn’t affect me, it’s probably something with you.”
Something to do with Grace Hopper being an actual person (although she is deceased) and thus not being to trademark the entire name?
>why did the SEC never go after them to make an example:

Because they don't have a market cap over a trillion dollars.
The "relive your memories" is maybe less dystopian than commenters are thinking because you can presumably also view footage from other 360 cameras, like action cams used during sports, or simply placed more discretely in a room (yes, porn is the obvious use case that Apple won't say).
Ask HN: What is the best non-Apple laptop I can buy?

The display and optics are a lot of the bulk. Hard to move that off device.
This article is dead on, all the way to the end. Takes a few minutes to read, but its observations on the market position of the device, all the way to the individual/social ramifications and the relevance vis a vis Meta, are as sharp as anything I’ve read about this yet.

If it seems like he’s gushing, he is. He’s speaking as someone who has seen lots of these devices and, in his view, this hardware and software outclasses anything else available.

If that bothers you but you push past it, I think you’ll find that whether you like this device or not, it could reflect or represent changes in how we incorporate technology in our lives that we might not yet fully appreciate.
You are going for click bait and the post you are replying to is reacting to that to save those of us who wont click through.
Seems like they needed a plethora of cameras and sensors up in the glasses to watch your eyes, hand gestures, and the environment. This is too big to fit in a lightweight pair of glasses.
I've been giving it a shot based on recommendations from my bosses, and I'm a senior+ dev.

80% of the time, the suggestions are either too generic for our codebase and so has to be patched up with our variable names, methods, etc. About half the time it completely misses the mark/intent of what is being written, and offers an auto-complete for a different problem.

20% of the time, it actually acts like a full line or full section autocomplete. Areas I've found it particularly helpful are writing tests. For example I added a new integration yesterday that touched a bunch of interface files for those integrations. Copilot was able to pick up on that and auto-generate a 90% functional test with ~30 lines, including setup and assertions.

I'm not convinced it's saving me time yet since I have to correct it/ignore it most of the time. When it works, it's cool. And like another comment said, typing speed has never been a bottleneck for me (record of 155 wpm on typing tests, I probably sit around 120-130 for average day-to-day typing).
I have the same sentiment, but think we might have been in the minority. You might have run PHP forums from your parents' houses, but most people don't have that experience. I think a lot of the more successful social media sites over the years essentially are offering a centralized, easy-to-use equivalent to some of those federated systems (for example, personal blog RSS feeds -> Twitter, PHP forum -> Reddit). People use them precisely because they couldn't set up PHP forums in their house.

The centralized experience doesn't hurt either. It's just easier enough to search for a subreddit on Reddit, than it is to scour through Google search results for a forum topic.

Having said that, by the same token I really don't quite understand why some modern decentralized or federated alternatives haven't taken off more. The tech is there, some of the options I've seen are pretty good or at least promising, but it feels like often there's some social angle that gets in the way (simple critical mass, branding/positioning, complete lack of enough moderation to at least get something off the ground, etc). It seems to me a decentralized or federated system is a good fit for Reddit-style network structures, with lots of smaller nodes and community membership patterns that are relatively circumscribed for most people.
That's odd. All these years I thought I was exchanging dollars for Bitcoin for spending it. Thanks for setting me straight.
Everyone has known that the instant Russia felt threatened that the dam would (probably) be destroyed. The consequences are horrible for Ukraine but not so much for Russia. They have known that the counter offensive would be coming. Why not lay down some propaganda now for something that someone else should take the blame for in the future? With the help of a корисний ідіот of course.
lots of services in AWS don't have IPV6 endpoints. this makes it hard to migrate workloads to ipv6.
> So you might wonder how a train going at full speed could stop within its block section?

Also before any automated breaking is considered, there is advanced warning of potential upcoming obstructions, so the driver can begin reducing speed early: https://safety.networkrail.co.uk/jargon-buster/four-aspect-s...

A high speed train carries a lot of momentum, as does a slow one carrying a huge load for that matter, and it can take quite some distance to bring that to an orderly⁰ stop, noticeably more than a single signal separation distance in high density areas. I was on a main-line passenger train recently that did stop pretty hard¹ – it is a slightly disconcerting experience, feeling that rate of deceleration knowing how much force is involved.

Though as you say, a lot more of this is automated these days, with signallers and drivers prioritising efficiency more because the modern safety systems take a lot of that cognitive load of knowing what is going on further in front away from them.

--

[0] minimum stopping distance is often not a pleasant stopping distance!

[1] on that section we could have been doing up to 90mph I think, though we weren't going that fast as just before the stop we were accelerating, the train came to a rest smoothly but in an unusually short time/distance
It's absolutely unclear what the SEC is doing here at all. Why is ALGO a security and ETH is not? They do the same thing. What are the implications of this lawsuit? Completely unclear. This is vague and unhelpful.

edit: Keep downvoting - the fact, with a clear example, remains.
> Porn was the use-case behind the invention of internet payments.

Link? My understanding was that it was online banking and ecommerce. Also, I don't know how you got any negative sentiment about porn from my post lol
EDIT: To be clear I'm not a legal expert.

Trademarks are context specific and you can trademark "common terms" IF (and at lest theoretically only if) it's used in a very narrow use-case which by itself isn't confusable with the generic term.

The best example here is Apple which is a generic term but trademarked in context of phones/computer/music manufacturing (and by now a bunch of other things).

Through there had been an Apple music label with a bit of back and force of legal cases (and some IMHO very questionable court rulings) which in the end Ended by Apple buying that Label.

So theoretically it's not too bad.

Practically big companies like Apple, Nvidia and similar can just swamp smaller companies with absurd legal fees to force their win (AFIK this is Metas strategie because I honestly have no idea how they think the term Meta for data processing is trademarkable), to make it worse local curt have often shown to not properly apply the law in such conflicts if the other party is from an other country (one or two US states are infamous for very biased legal decision in this kind of cases).

So yeah at the core this aspect of the trademark system is not a terrible idea, but the execution is sadly often fairly lacking. And even high profile cases of trademark abuse often have no consequences if it's a "favorite big company". (For balance negative EU example do include Lego and it's 3d trademark and absurdly biased curt rulings, or Ferrero and it's Kinder (german. Children) trademark on Chocolate).

EDIT: also not the two TM: Grace™ Hopper™ both Grace and Hopper are generic terms you can under some circumstances trademark and then use together, but while probably legal you would likely want to avoid trademarking (Grace Hopper)™
>Saying you haven’t done it and not letting you do it is a bit of a catch 22.

You would also get into serious trouble if you would sell a drug without approval from the FDA, and they might deny your application because it isn't fit for purpose. Same with the SEC just because you want to register your crypto security does not mean that they have to be allowed on the US market.
I got banned from /r/CanadaCoronavirus for saying at the time we didn't yet know how many doses and on what schedule of the vaccine would be needed.

Banned. That's anti-vaxx propaganda on my part, evidently.

I messaged the mods to explain that I was triple-vaxxed and what I said was not only factually correct, it wasn't even controversial.

The mods patiently replied that anti-vaxx trolls like me will be reported to reddit to have my entire account banned "for harassment" if I contact them again.

What inward reflection do I need? This is just one of myriad examples with mods who don't actually read or process the content about which they're banning people.
The Quest 2 only gets about 1.5hrs at full FPS. I can extend that to 6 with a battery pack in my pocket, which can be hot swapped for another 6 hours.

I also have a 16 foot USB-C cable hanging from the ceiling with retractable hooks for infinite plugged-in use.
If you mean voice calls then I disagree. They seem to becoming less important every year.
In any Excel sheet everything is mixed up: you got raw data, calculated values, formulas, formatting, plots etc.

With a Jupyter notebook you have these well separated, and there is a little chance that someone somehow changed the font in one of the 20k cells with values. Scaling up plots or changing the color scheme are explicit: you must have a cell changing the defaults. Yu can not just muse over some cell, press Del and plonk it. If you verified say md5 checksum for the raw data file it contains what you expect it to contain.

If you follow up actions of an average Excel user, then it is a long chain of mostly purely manual manipulations, like selecting the cells, copy and paste, add color here and there etc. A lot of steps to check and verify. Compared to SQL or data frame manipulations it is too complicated to be really useful IMHO
I'm definitely not going to be keeping my hands in the air to type on a virtual keyboard. I can tell you right now that won't work and your arms will get too tired. Must be only for minor tasks. But I can't afford the thing anyways so doesn't matter.

Yeah, if this thing catches on, I think this will be my "old man gets left behind by technology" moment. Everything I see from the marketing of this just looks like a soulless dystopia. I hate it.

If the future is strapping a phone to your face and never leaving the house, I'm ready to be left in the past.
> Web 1: read-only static

> Web 2: read write dynamic

Isn't it obvious that a "trust" is just a bullshit and "verifiable" is not a promise of blockchains. The promise of blockchain is undeleteness. If talking about surveillance on Internets called in fancy words - we use to have it everywhere already without any cryptocurrencies and/or cryptocurrency-inspired stuff.
Yeah, that was like trying to program when my ex-wife wanted attention.

Even the clip with recording the kids felt awkward as the kids did not ackowledge the presence of the parent at all. It felt they were Photoshopped into an empty movie.

Recording using an iPhone would an upgrade as your kids can now much better see your facial expressions and you would be able to turn around to make a "selfie" recording showing both you and the kids in the movie.

Yes but this isn't VHS. When's the last time porn was the major driving factor? You're about the 70s and 80s - might as well be an entirety ago as far as tech is concerned.

People thinking porn is going to be what drives adoption of this are insane. It'll most likely be productivity and vertical integration.
One of SQLite's strengths is that it's not client-server, so there's no single sqlite server. It is simply not possible to have multiple applications try to use a single sqlite server, because you cannot use what does not exist. No sane person would ever say "it's ill-advised to have multiple ambassadors try to speak to the King of the USA", and likewise no sane person should ever say "it's ill-advised to have multiple applications try to use a single sqlite server".

It is however possible to have multiple applications access the same sqlite database on the same filesystem (i.e. locally, not via network access, not via remounts or symlinks or other forms of synonyms) and it will sort out the locking for you. Depending on what you need to do, there's I think three possible strategies you can use so it can probably handle your concurrency needs faster than Postgres via the network can. For instance, this particular task is write-heavy, and it would benefit from a different setting than a read-heavy application.

There are certainly occasions when Postgres or MySQL or MS SQL or Oracle is a better choice than SQLite, and sometimes concurrency contributes to that decision. But it's unlikely to be the case that you had an SQLite solution that worked really well with one process reading and writing from the database, and now all of a sudden you need a second or third application to use the database concurrently with the first, and you find you need to switch to a client-server model And even if sometimes you need to take specific steps (like adopting a different locking model), you also have to take specific steps to run Postgres (e.g. using a pool to speed up connections and limit the number of concurrent connections because each connection is a separate process). It's a matter of knowing your tools.
Oh boy, I'm sure that will work out fine (I mean, it does for the tiktok-minded people)
Why not try to understand what I'm saying, instead of being so obnoxiously dismissive?

Would you rather: a. wait 5 years for apple to release some functionality in their SDK. or b. wait 3 months for someone to release their own software doing the same?

Yes, the iPhone is boring. It's taken a decade to reach its potential, because everything needs to be provided by Apple. Compare to an actual general computing device like a desktop computer, where you can innovate at your own speed.
One thing I don't understand about offering passkey login for your email is how you would go about recovering an account if you lost access to the device which holds your passkey? Google states: "When you create a passkey, you opt in to a passkey-first, password-less sign-in experience.". This seems to imply that you will not be able to use your old password if you ever lost your phone. Do Google still offer backup passwords for recovery purposes if you switch to passkeys? Their site doesn't seem to explain this.
