I don't understand the implementation, it's pretty nuts. And the multiple layers of optional features and fragmentation are pretty awful. I kinda wish they hadn't specified any power levels other than 5v and full programmable PPS....

I also wish they had implemented a dedicated solar profile to simplify solar generators, so a panel could say "I will act like a current source and do MPPT".

They probably could have done Dallas One Wire for the signalling and been just fine. It could also be how the cable chip communicates, and very small simple devices could use it without the full USB stack.

But, I can accept it just because of how well it works in practice as is.

Meh - its all contained under the jvns.ca domain though - you can skip that easily.
I believe all Macs are fully recyclable with very little waste in the process. Repairability comes at a cost that most customers don't want to pay (any one of: more $$, heavier, thicker, more prone to breakage, etc...). In the end these are devices that cost about the same as a couch, last a few years, and then are meant to be recycled for raw materials that go back into a more efficient device.
Its not a full laptop replacement if it doesn't come with a keyboard.

Yeah, but we are talking about Pros, not Airs.
I believe they can use practically uneven pixel distribution by lenses. So if they render the “middle” over a larger area and later correct for that with lenses than in effect that part will be of higher pixel density.
Kind of ironic that parent asks for a global standard like HTML and gets 5 different suggestions in the replies ;)
They can still ban your service, e.g. block your IPs. Sure, you could then play a cat and mouse game with them, but your API clone going down every few days will make it unusable for anyone with a real purpose. The companies that reddit (officially) wants to target, e.g. OpenAI et al., have no problem scraping.
What killer app did laptops have that made them the success they are today? Does new technology necessarily need a killer app if the ergonomics end up being more desirable to a broad range of users?

I don't necessarily know the answer here, but my gut feeling is that defining this device based on a "killer app" is like trying to define the original iPhone as needing a "killer app". It didn't necessarily have such a thing but it did end up being pretty big.

tl;dr Helplessness is the default, what the brain learns is control, examples of "learned helplessness" are actually the brain "unlearning" control.

Honestly doesn't seem like a very meaningful distinction to me.
Your analogy isn't a great fit, because the distinction between the two carries different penalties.

In this scenario, spamming with or without AI would carry the same penalty. The benefit is that you don't need to determine if AI was involved, since it doesn't matter.
I don't know - monitors are physical objects in space that you are aware of. I would classify Vision Pro more as glasses.

I wear glasses myself. And sometimes I forget to take them off because they become part of my perception. That doesn't happen to me with my monitors :-D
If someone told me as a kid that I'd spend more than half or my waken hours with a screen in front of me I'd have called bullshit on them as well.

On principle if this device was better than our current laptop screens I think it would be a no-brainer. With it being so early in the tech yet, reportedly heavy (why did they think metal was a good idea), and with only so much resolution, it's still hard to justify as a work expense.
Is your audience iPhone users? Or is it an progressive enhacement style thing?

(Btw, there's nothing about this that's specific to mirrorless and wouldn't also apply to a DSLR with big dynamic range).
But I'm genuinely curious, why would the bigwig CEOs buy this if they didn't buy the Quest 2 or other previous headsets that could do the same things? You could do the cinema and virtual desktop and zoom calls with the Quest. Why is the market much larger for the Apple headset compared to the others? Except for the initial hype of "I need this new apple device" I mean.

The other headset manufacturers have been searching for the killer apps for years, both in gaming and pro usages, both with AR and VR. I didn't see anything in the Apple presentation that was new. It seemed contrived, like this woman who accidentally had the big headset on her head while she was packing a bag and therefore could take a call that hovers in the air. I just don't buy that (and neither does the various YT influencers I've seen reviewing the Vision Pro).
Why is charging $20 per download arrogant? I'd presume you wouldn't do it for any price, which means you're effectively charging $(infinity) per download.

And you got the audacity to complain that some people try to make a living while providing a presumably valuable service/app for their users. "Treating the simple desire to make things better for people with absolute derision and disgust" eh?

Reddit may not be a public website for long. They push their app and ask for logging in so often, it wouldn’t surprise me if they shut off parts of the site for not logged in users.
By that measure, the iPhone is a total failure, together with the smartphone market it created. It pales to insignificance compared to the market for food! And don't even think of looking at the market for shelter, then it's hardly even a joke, why bother. Or maybe that that's not really a meaningful angle of looking at markets?

What exactly is the "all that money" you talk about anyways? If Apple's watch division was a separate entity on the stock market and they had inexplicably high valuation I might enthusiastically agree with you, but it's not.

Denying OSS contributions from Russian companies/individuals is absurd.

If the patch is good the patch is good.
I did a WebAuthn implementation at work and the UX for WebAuthn was fucking awful. Especially on macOS, every browser had a completely separate implementation of WebAuthn, and if you used the Touch ID as a WebAuthn device, you basically could not see it anywhere and deleting it was also a pain in the ass. On Chrome, you basically had to just delete all of your passwords for the last N days to get rid of them.

On Windows, I think all browsers handled it centrally with Windows Hello, but even there the WebAuthn devices just kinda disappear into the ether once you register them, and deleting them had to be done through the command-line. There were also weird ass bugs where the UI would behave completely differently depending on whether or not you had Windows Hello login in use, so websites would need to engineer around it.

Haven't played around with passkeys key, but I imagine the only direction to go is up.
I apologize, I thought you were being snarky. There's a few people in here that are not asking serious questions. I sourced a study on boar in Fukushima and ran similar calculations on that if you're interested. The conclusion is still similar: you need to eat an amount of pork that puts you at serious risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer from red meat before you have an increased risk of cancer due to the radiation content of the pork.

Acute radiation sickness is pretty difficult to acquire through protracted exposure, as by definition acute radiation sickness is acute: short term. 10mSv in a millisecond (acute) is dangerous, 10mSv over a year is perfectly safe.
I thought the point in debinding was to use an autofeeder - to make the actual scanning less labor intensive.

Wouldn't a camera based scanner be better? It still requires manual page turning, but will save on the prep work and destroying the magazines, even if just to sell on.

The paper and ink quality will present they're own issues, but maybe those will be quicker to solve than the debinding and page feeding process.

Kinda, but Fitbit has a range of fitness trackers that do those things with a longer battery life while costing half as much.

I'm reminded of "less space than a nomad", and it's that same magic sauce that might make or break it.
But you don't have argc, only argv. The C stub will derive argc by traversing argv and then pass both to main().
One of the reasons that I write native, is so that I can access stuff like this. It usually takes quite a while for hybrid platforms to catch up.

That said, I don’t have an immediate need for this particular SDK, in the project I’m developing. I just like to have the option to integrate stuff like this.

Also, I’m not a “bleeding edge” developer. I’m still using UIKit/AppKit/WatchKit (as opposed to SwiftUI), and my software supports one OS version back, upon release.
Thanks for the insightful information. What's your take on the war otherwise?
Because no one will really do the stuff you suggest. All the things you describe just take too much effort to make

Assembling furniture

- 1d written description : 1 person half a day

- 2d illustration : ~2 people and a 3 days

- 3d animation : ~3 people and 2 weeks

- 3d interactive thing : a small team and a month.. At least ?

Is it really going to yield a ton more sales?

You can see it in other media. Zillions of creative people write books, a lot fewer shoot movies, and fewer still make interactive narrative video games

All the 3D experiences you end up having are quite simplistic bc no one wants to invest in it. Could you make an Avatar level narrative in VR? It'd be super tricky, but maybe with enough money you could. (arguably there aren't enough people at the moment who know how to make compelling 3d interactive experiences). Will it be worth the extra cost ? Unlikely. It's hard to imagine it being more than marginally better at best

Maybe AI will somehow help speed up the process substantially (and lower the costs), but I'm a bit skeptical it'll help enough

The only thing I can think of where VR would make a huge difference is maybe horror. I'm not into horror, but I could see VR being a huge step up in terms of spookyness
Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried that, but the purchase is stuck at "Creation in progress". It wouldn't surprise me if new creations are being blocked while the new TLD registry is being setup.
For example audio at 48k and video at 90k. The problem with that being that as they wrap around at different times. So video wraps first, then audio wraps later, and this can happen several times over
Apple Watch told the time. That itself made it a viable product - you remove the thing you were wearing to tell the time before and add their thing.
Isn't this what the post specifically mentions:

> If your drive’s on-board controller hardware, your data cable, your power supply, your chipset with your hard drive interface inside, your RAM’s physical slot connection, or any other piece of the hardware chain that goes from the physical platters to the CPU have some sort of problem, your data will be damaged. It should be noted that SATA drive interfaces use IEEE 802.3 CRCs so the transmission from the drive CPU to the host system’s drive controller is protected from transmission errors. Using ECC RAM only helps with errors in the RAM itself, but data can become corrupted while being shuffled around in other circuits and the damaged values stored in ECC RAM will be “correct” as far as the ECC RAM is concerned.

> The magic CRCs I keep making fun of will help with these failures a little more because the hard drive’s ECC no longer protects the data once the data is outside of a CRC/ECC capable intermediate storage location. This is the only remotely likely scenario that I can think of which would make ZFS CRCs beneficial.
I could see it being useful in helping people in these situations.

Teaching someone to have control, as opposed to “unlearning” their helplessness (which presumably if default, can’t be done).
enough with this bias talk already
Really glad to know it helped!

I was actually surprised to find that it works really well for me in the end (contrary to my experience on iPad, where I don’t like using SM). I thought it could reasonably “just work” for casual users on intuitive basis, but most advanced users wouldn’t like it—not having a good concept of how things work is a big barrier, and there is absolutely no documentation or good way of discovering this—so I decided to share my understanding lest Apple kills this feature due to lack of demand.

To add to my description one thing that I noticed just now: there’s a distinction in behavior between “heterogenous” window sets and single-app window sets. For example, if your window set is heterogenous—contains windows of multiple apps—then command-` indeed switches only between windows in the same multi-window set (so you won’t leave that set). On the other hand, if current multi-window set consists only of windows from a single app (e.g., multiple Terminal windows), then command-` will switch between 1) windows in current window set, as well as 2) this app’s windows in other homogenous sets (and standalone windows). I’m not a fan of this particular behavior, because every time it kind of breaks my expectations when I leave a multi-window set due to command-`, but maybe it’s because I got used to thinking that command-` only works within a set too quickly.

Add: and there is an outright bug in that if you use command-` while in some non-English keyboard layouts, it starts command-`’ing infinitely. Guessing Apple might be aware but too lazy to figure out their ticket tracker…
> Yes they do. Lots of people do because they talk to their kids.

You are assuming that the kids somehow magically know what would make them happy.

> One day, your kids are going to tell you that you are wrong. Totally wrong. Wrong about morality and ethics. Wrong wrong. And you are going to have to believe them, or you will lose access to a part of their life forever.

How do you know that? I for one feel that my parents gave me way too much access to tech while I was too young to handle it. Also, I wouldn't cut my parents off for disagreeing with me about morality or ethics, I would expect the same treatment from my kids when they are grown-ups.

> Raising a kid is hard, but being a kid is harder.

I did both, and in my experience raising a kid is much harder than being one.
I was just pointing out the fact that they said "This needs to sit on your face for 8 hours or more." when it is limited by the fact that it will only be available for the 2 first hours.

this opinion seems more influenced by the writer's environment than not.

There's no killer app specific to this headset because this is just a supercomplicated me-too product, and also because there is no point in half baking a potential killer.

But it's okay, I think. It has the browser, Unity integration, okay visual passthrough, etc. Ticks all boxes.
Ipads could do that for years and yet nothing. Hopefully with the EU laws it will change though.
I got an Atari STE in 1988, it used double-sided regular density 3.5" disks, with a capability of 720kB each, and back then it was a bargain to find no-name ones for ~$1, while the quality name-brand ones (Verbatim! Maxell!) cost about the double.
I don't know to what extent it explains the birth rate, but I can testify to the difference in public mood. I got around rural Red areas in 2020 and people in general seemed to be completely ignoring the pandemic. In fact, a lot of folks I dealt with were having a jolly time because their businesses were booming. In contrast, it would be the complete opposite when I hit a Blue pocket -- streets deserted, shops closed, people eyeing you warily in case you got too close.
> Nice whataboutism but I have already stated on here multiple times what I think of Americas wars.

Not whataboutism, you're parroting the word without knowing what it means. I'm just saying that war crimes happen in any war, even when supposedly civilized nations fight.

> Why not peace with hitler?

Putin is in no way Hitler, modern Russia is no nazi Germany. If you don't understand the difference, please go study some history, I won't debate you on this.

> a peace without the army that raped and tortured its way through its population

This is an extreme exageration. There have been war crimes as in any other war. To say that the Russian army has systematically been doing this is a lie. The Ukrainian army is responsible of war crimes as well.

> Would you give up part of your house to the person who raped your children or would you fight back?.

This kind of idiotic comparison has no ground in reality. We're not talking about a house, Ukraine has no "children" as it is a nation, and if you really want to insist on the pathetic children analogy, "fighting back" requires tens or perhaps hundreds of thousands more children to die.

Would you sacrifice tens of thousands of your children to take back your house? See how groundless an analogy that is?
It should be trivial to set it up on a ramdisk and I see some guides on doing so when I search for "postgres ramdisk"
Yeah. With 1Password it's just another item like a password, but named "passkey". And in the browser when you set it up or use it, you get a little overlay on the website in the top-right and you click on it. That's it. Super simple, no faff, full visibility.

Funding this war (which we're losing) is gutting funding for further education and scientific research.

It's possible there's a secret plan which will turn things around, but it seems more likely that the only thing which benefits from our inevitable defeat is the arms industry.

Judging average Russians for Putin is like judging Americans for Trump or the British for Brexit. It’s technically their fault since they voted, but really it’s not.

For the sake of this metaphor, all of that would be equivalent to the park, custodians, and park rangers. The latter two are paid by the government (the "owners"), but few people would argue a park as a "commons". So, maybe?

main difference ofc is that few pay for a private server, despite contributing to it. Parks are paid for by taxes, and sometimes voted upon by citizens to allocate budgets for. But a park with no visitors is similar to a forum with no visitors.
You say that now, but bulky embarrassing camcorders at kids birthdays were a major thing in their day. Perhaps there will be some livestream type features to share the birthday with grandparents across the country in 3D.

Okay, how about, the actual problem they solved: Reusing a single, simple password on every site, shared behind an email login.

That doesn’t sound like a really, really bad idea.
> radiation doses do add up

Yes and no. Acute exposure is not the same as protracted exposure. 10mSv in a microsecond is a vastly different risk than 10mSv over a year.

Before you make such bold and obtuse claims, you may consider that this 20mSv safety limit includes radiation workers, who we haven't measured as having increased risk of cancer (even when the limits were higher). The relative risk starts around 50mSv but is still exceptionally low.

Stop assuming things that you can't be bothered to verify. If you're going to chase me around comments you should at least make a reasonable attempt to be somewhat accurate. Just stop pulling stuff out of your ass.
