It is that when you realize that they are conveniently created with your own mind, they disappear immediately, you become tolerant because you have learned not to lose track of reality. I do not recommend it at all, meditation is preferable in all its aspects.
I remember when this was just something the creator was messing with. Its come a long way.

Parts compatability isn't really too hard. Pull up the mobo specs and make sure your ram timings, CPU socket, PCI, and power demand all line up.
I think the React team is responding to current trends. SPAs were super trendy. Once people started building them, they recognized that SPAs are much harder to optimize than the code for a single page. Next.js came in, and everyone has slowly been shifting to SSR.

If the react team doesn't react, other frameworks will eclipse them.

While I don't like the implementation details, I can see what they were going for. Encapsulating certain API calls behind the server adds a new layer of security that react didn't have before. It's good it is opt-in

I guess you just needed the right search terms? I searched for "history of reddit fake user activity" and got this:

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/06/reddi...

..and it turns out it's right on Reddit's wikipedia page as well:

> Supported by the funding from Y Combinator,[28] Huffman coded the site in Common Lisp[29] and together with Ohanian launched Reddit in June 2005.[30][31] Embarrassed by an empty-looking site, the founders created hundreds of fake users for their posts to make it look more populated,[32] an example of a fake it till you make it strategy.
Watch Marques Brownlee's video on it. It's vastly better than anything before it in both hand- and eye-tracking.

Do you have any links about that?

Current chatter that I'm seeing indicates that the local RF commander got scared and blew the dam. It may not have been commanded by higher ups. So, the only benefactor seems to have been the local RF, and even then only until someone can got over there to ream him.

How good is this info? Probably not the best. But it fits fine enough with how poorly commanded RF has been throughout this war.

I haven't done any psychedelics but I spent a lot of time meditating a few years back, and I experienced something like this on a smaller scale. It wasn't quite as profound as "thousands of years" or anything, more like, subjective hours over the course of 5 minutes.

"A DSLR portrait of..." means nothing and if the phrase influences the output of a generative model, in a way different from "A photograph of...", that implies the model has learned something stupid.
I’ve also been a Redditor for well over a decade. While I miss the days when it was a smaller niche site (before the Digg implosion it was basically a nerdier, smaller Digg) I still use and enjoy the site plenty today.

I have never been accused of being a racist transphobe whatever, if that’s your number one issue with the site maybe some inward reflection is in order? Just don’t get involved in political flamewars, they serve absolutely no purpose for anyone involved.

Laptops had killer apps in word processing and spreadsheets and various early email systems, bringing them clients other than field engineering and military.

Until they kill the old UI, which has similar issues to third party clients, and basically only gets by because they forgot about it for a decade.
What would be the set of skills that would put you in the category of LLM talent that is in extreme short supply?

Just curious what the current bar is here and which of the LLM-related skills might be worth building.
Isn’t it true that the SEC wouldn’t let Coinbase register since they said Bitcoin _isn’t_ a security? It’s my understanding that Coinbase tried.
I mean, the US federal government doesn’t have an internally consistent stance on cryptocurrency regulation, with different agencies in conflict as to whether a securities or commodities regulatory framework applies. And no consistent clear determination has been made. It’s currently effectively impossible to get actionable legal advice about how to follow the rules, which is different to the situation with the FDA, EPA, et al.

You could say that the conclusion is then that it’s all illegal full stop and that all cryptocurrency related businesses in the US should cease operations immediately. But if that’s the case, you’d hope that would be clearly expressed somewhere. Right now, the rules (or rather, the probabilities of facing adverse legal action) are being inferred after the fact by analysing patterns of enforcement action.
This isn't really a "distros" problem as it is a "dependencies are hard" one. Having many targets for deployment makes it visible, but just look at the complexity of targeting all browsers to see how it is dealt with for ostensibly simpler requirements.

When you’re trying to gain traction on a new and free website it’s one thing (Reddit essentially started this way)…but if you’re trying to sell the company to investors this should be a crime.
I've used GPT-4 before it changed, and though impressive, writing code has never been the bottleneck for me personally. When these things can understand the business requirements and tell me what I should be building and why, with detailed sensible reasoning then I'll be hyped.
I think that was a lot of words to say some people just enjoy confirmation bias :)
How are you using the APIs?
This is almost certainly intentional. It's been a trend for a while for companies to make their websites as shitty as possible so you're basically forced to use their app.
you fell for it.

the article says nothing to that end. still full locked in.

the UI will allow implementations... via app stores approved apps using their OS apis. for sure.
From what I know, the firms were more or less independent anyways. At least going by the experience of friends in SeqIndia.

I can confirm it is not just you. I’ve had similar experiences in other subreddits. Eventually I just stopped trying because it’s super demoralizing trying to navigate the myriad of rules in each subreddit.
I think I’ve been paying close to the same price for computers for 25 years. Moose’s Law and relentless miniaturization and cost optimization are the only reason why.
Other than the watch, all the products you mentioned are before 2002. Anything in the past 20 years that have been huge misses in delivering up to expectation?

Also how is the 1st gen watch a failure? It sold millions immediately, and was a huge commercial success. It pretty much started a gold rush for digital watches again.

I think it's fair to say the new "Apple" (last 15 years or so), has been pretty good with exceeding expectations and breaking through barriers that other companies just couldn't.
> As for Starlink being okay with it just because they get paid, I don't see how that means they lack morals.

- first they oppose something allegedly based on morals

- then they subsequently no longer oppose it allegedly based on morals

frankly, I don't see how someone can NOT see how that means they lack their aforementioned morals

Arguably word processing combined with some method to transfer files (especially modems) was first, with spreadsheets coming second. But yes, 1990s the laptop was business executive tool and status symbol.
It's an interesting question.

If you look at that Simula VR page there is a video showing a person working with the device at a coffeeshop and being handed a coffee by a waitress. I don't know what that waitress would think about the interaction, particularly she might not be so clear if the person wearing the headset is paying attention or not. Visible eyes on the outside of the device could make a big difference. I don't think you'd need a particularly high quality display for the outside, something cartoony might be good enough or even better than a realistic display.
I have HP Reverb G2 which is 2048x2048 per eye and it's great for the MS Flight Simulator 2020 or Automobilista 2 but utterly terrible for virtual desktop. Imagining 2x denser pixels still doesn't cut it for working with text, i.e. one still will see jagged lines/edges. Also the lens are unfocused towards edges which would require head movement instead of eye movement to keep focused area sharp. Imagine programming a foot away from a 55" monitor.

Vision Pro is supposed to be 23Mpx so let's assume it's evenly distributed per eye, making it 11.5Mpx per eye, and with a square resolution per eye, so that's approximately 3391x3391, i.e. 1.65x denser than Reverb.
If you frequently browse Hacker News, you are probably not the main audience. I just sent this to one of my less technology-savvy colleagues in my discipline, because it is difficult to find content that provides a realistic expectation of what ChatGPT can and cannot do for people who do not currently write code but need to keep up with things.

Exactly.
They have set clear rules, just not ones that Coinbase likes.
I did indeed miss that announcement haha
The author says he used all the VR systems that exist under the sun, but he doesn't mention SimulaVR.

Since for my use case it's the most direct competitor (using VR as working tool, not gaming), anybody got a comparison of the early test devices for both?
It looks like two separate trademarks.

I am absolutely disgusted by the idea of people using ChatGPT for serious coding work.

Maybe I am just getting old but the idea of using a non-deterministic tool that can hardly be reasoned about that will straight up hallucinate facts for any professional work sounds insane to me.

Yes, I do see the value for Junior Devs as I am sure it can drastically increase their output in the short term but aren't they shooting themselves in the leg in the long run? That might sound elitist but at the end of the day, you will need to learn to read technical documentation anyway and once you understand it there is no need for ChatGPT.

Yes, if you are constantly hopping from one framework of the month to the next big thing, you just don't have the time to learn anything in depth and then again ChatGPT can help. But do you really want to live like this? Instead of band aid solutions we might want to push for less hype-driven and more pragmatic development styles that allow us the time to learn our frameworks.
I'd feel kind of weird about listening to fake music of an artist I like, no matter how real it sounds. I wonder if this will become more popular though?

There's no way this has cost $35bn. Tech companies label a lot of stuff as R&D, it's almost more likely that the €100B value includes all the macOS/iOS/etc development as well.

I expect until the last year or so this has been well under $1bn per year (based on 1000 people at $300k/yr, $300m). This will have ramped up as they begin figuring out mass production, but I'd still be surprised if this is more than single-digit billions for the last year, as it's not like they're reserving enough manufacturing or supplier capacity to make 100m of these devices yet.
This is a scientific article, not a self-help blog.
Leaving personal desires out of it, the relationship of porn and tech goes back at least to VHS vs Betamax, probably further. It’s not unreasonable to believe that does not stop with XR headsets.
> I am not sure how you deal with opinionated debates with the Automod.

Have firm rules about what is and is not allowed. Match comments for keywords and set rules for how you want such comments to be dealt with. Doing it this way eases moderation by having to review the mod log more often than the mod queue and approve false positives, which as you refine your automod rules, there will be less of.

> It also depends on daily active members (we get about 5.6k DAU on weekly average i.e these people are upvoting/commenting at least. I hope these numbers scale linearly for you

One of the subs I mod is for a very active and polarizing TV show, so it's much mroe active when the show is on, but yes, easily that amount of DAU.I take the view that voting doesn't matter at all, only rule breaking content. I prefer to have a police of minimal interference and suggest users block people they disagree with. Only rule breaking content need be dealt with.

> We have automod set up but given how strong opinions can be on heuristic driven scientific areas, I'd be careful not to make it rule based. People will be kicking each other's comments out.

You can use it irrespective of users, just have it match patterns and take action based on that. It's very very capable honestly. Reviewing the mod log for false positives is much easier in many ways.

> we simply can't do it with how flammable it gets.

Can you honestly say you understand the full extent of what automod can do before you say that? It's not just a simple tool, it allows for complex pattern matching and actions based on that. I mod the subs pretty much myself due to being 'always online', and I keep rejecting other people asking to be mod because I managed to do everything needed with automod and supervision. FWIW the community also says they are impressed with how well the sub is run.
Is weird why he said that when a video or photo serves the exact same purpose, to view and relive past memories except in 2D. The world has been doing it it for a century

I can't remember what the other platform options are, but for VSCode you need to use a preview version, which has meant I haven't had much time to test it yet as I'm full on with the stable release.

But as an example I can select a block of code and ask it to generate tests, explain it or various other stuff. I haven't tried it further yet to see to what extent is provides value beyond just saving copying and pasting and establishing a context in ChatNormal.

It's not clear either that it is 4 as you requested; it may be the default 3.5, I've had a very brief look but couldn't see the spec.

Update, according to the Verge, its 4:

Not that I have a ton of experience on this, but from what I've seen, lawyers do not generally have a unified opinion on stuff like this (stuff that has never been litigated on in general). A lot of them will tell you "this is what I think, but look, this is untested."

To separate this from the emotionally-charged subject for a second: just look at Google vs. Oracle. It took over a decade to decide whether APIs are covered by copyright or not. And the reality is that that was closer to a coin toss than any of us would like to admit, since it was trying to apply a law that in no way imagined something like APIs to APIs, and relied heavily on the judge/etc being able to wrap their heads around it. The verdict could have easily gone the other way. When it comes to how regulations apply to new technologies, the uncomfortable truth is that there is no "objective truth" to the law, and unfortunately comes down more to how much money the parties throw at the problem and legal process. I am sure on the Oracle side there were plenty of people talking just like you: "these people don't respect copyright and flagrantly copy APIs that are obviously protected IP and they think just because they're in hippy open source land the law doesn't apply to them". The reality is that until the verdict, there effectively was no rule around copyright and APIs.

For an opposite example: look at the famous case of Diamond v. Chakrabarty (1980). The patent agency rejected an application for a genetically engineered bacteria that could break down oil, saying you can't patent living organisms. It went to the Supreme Court, that decided 5-4 that they could. Are you going to sit here and tell me this was obvious from the beginning? Given that the patent agency had the opposite opinion than the Supreme Court, and that the Supreme Court was basically split 50/50 on the decision? Do we think they made the right decision given no background in biology? Do we think Chakrabarty was a wannabe biology bro that didn't care about the law, given that almost every lawyer at the time would have told you was commonly accepted did not allow patenting living organisms?

* > tonsbof law firms, counsultants and experts out there explaining the rules and how to follow them.*

Hopefully you see now that a ton of those law firms are out there telling you "I think we can win on this, it has happened many times before, and the reality is that law really isn't written until we make our case".
> the new API pricing is reasonable and not intended to kill third party apps.

It’s quite obviously not the case given the numbers involved, but it’s completely implausible when you add that NSFW content will be removed from the API entirely, and that third party client will not be allowed to be ad-supported.
No we haven't. ChatGPT is basically a sophisticated Markov chain. It is very good at pattern matching, but it has no understanding of anything, or its own will. People who think is even close to AGI are deluded, fooled by an elaborate Mechanical Turk.

This is also the reason why its output sounds convincing, but is very often factually wrong.
to me it still looks like its principally a wankel motor just with a few changes.
Great description - thanks.

I wonder if they ‘stand up in court’ and/or have ever been tested too.
They mention 12ms, which is 83.3fps. It's a bit too slow for my tastes at $3500 price tag. It might be good for more stationary images, but anything moving will have ghosting/stutter. I'll wait for gen2/3. Still, I'm very happy there is new competition in this field.

If you go to any concert or other public event, half of the audience will be recording on their smartphone instead of watching. I do not see any reason why an iphone of tomorrow won’t have a 3D camera to record and share any important moments the same way as we do it now. There will be the time when we will watch dashcam and drone videos of car crashes, natural disasters and soldiers dying on battlefield sitting on a sofa in those shiny glasses.

There a home gym setup called Tempo that claims to do this. I have the scaled down mobile app version so idk if the full setup is more informative, but it doesn't really give a lot of feedback at all. It basically just tracks the movement of the dumbbell plates that they send you to count your reps, and if you aren't moving the weight to the correct position your rep won't count. It definitely doesn't do anything like correct your form based on your body position like "hey straighten your back" or anything
A shot in the dark, here, but it does have an effect on blood pressure, so it's probably a bit of that, and the increase in general sensitivity you experienced. Pretty normal. Some strains are even known for their "headband" effects (at maybe more pleasant intensities)

Is it that different from using one of those gigantic camcorders from the 80’s where you had to put one eye up to a viewer stalk? People used those, but it’s not like they had it out the entire event (I assume, based on how short the videos I’ve seen taken with them usually are).
Yes, plenty are absolutely trivial to implement. Things like "I move the file from this folder where it's dropped off by over night batch processing to this other folder and then I kick off the processing job" or "I copy these values into our master excel spreadsheet and take the results from the calculations and put them in this other system."

Extremely basic and low hanging fruit is all over the place.
