The quote represents the most knowledgeable person in the defendant organization about the regulations, tacitly agreeing with the position on crypto stated by the head of the SEC. "Specifically, [the SEC head] claimed that 'everything but bitcoin' could be considered a security in the world of cryptocurrency, while bitcoin could be considered a commodity due to its stature and resolutely-decentralized nature." [1] The defendant entity could establish a bona fide defense, shut operations, or face the consequences. While bare crypto may or may not require "quotes like this" to allocated, crypto pioneers made it relatively trivial to determine they are acting outside the law, by issuing interest bearing crypto accounts and tying payments to the prospects of entities.[2]

yeah, by controller I was thinking VR controllers like those of oculus, which afaik are not generally compatible with other products.

The battery doesn't seem too bad, but having used VR with wires I think it still wont feel the same as having no attachment at all.
Yeah lots, lack of dependancy issues or having to deal with package managers when trying to deploy something quickly or after not touching it for a while is refreshing
> I understand that being ethical might be good

So then you do understand why he should be ethical: being an unethical person is a bad thing.

> why should he take it in the absence of laws that force him to or professional/reputational damage to him.

If the only reason that you behave ethically is because you will suffer consequences if you don't, then you are not ethical. I'd hope that such a person would have problems looking themselves in the mirror, but I know better.
Yep, my Outlook mail for work is being flaky. I get notifications of new messages but can’t read the messages (mobile)
Depends very much on the person and the company, I've known many people in similar situations as you, but also many people (in business, rarely roles like developers) stuck on old, slow work laptops - even managers in companies like Dell - while having shiny new personal devices they'd bought themselves (and would, if their company allowed them, use those for work where possible - ofc companies like Dell that's a no-go, but many smaller companies are happy when their employees work on their own more expensive and more productive computer).
I think if the hardware is good and even more importantly developer tools are easy to use and better than competition this could be successful. It doesn't really matter what Apple shows in their demo what the use cases are. Does anyone share heart-beats on Apple watch? No. Yet, Apple Watch is a best selling product.
No, we've (collectively) discovered that we have a lot of mature technologies (like mmap), mature platforms and extremely fast hardware, so we created a crippled software development platform on a bloated layout engine so people can get creative again hacking around the arbitrary constraints and design flaws of the platform to solve problems that had been solved 40 years ago.
Appreciate the feedback! That was the experience we had as well - there wasn't anything in between render/heroku/fly.io and EKS and why we started Nucleus. We're not going out of business anytime soon but its a very fair concern and there's ways that we can help mitigate that i.e. offering an on-prem version, exporting terraform files, etc. Working towards this but it will take some time.
If you are a programmer who finds no use in AI, try asking it things like this:

“how do I….”
“how does this work”
“explain this code”
“convert this function to typescript”
“what’s the maximum decimal of uint16”
“difference between this and that”
“give me an example of”
“what are the arguments to this function/method”
“what causes this error”
“explain this code”
“given this data structure, how do I get the third row, first item”
“how do I centre a div”
“create a C header file for these functions”
“what’s the command to compile this code”
“what’s the regex to get lines containing foo”
“ffmpeg command to convert X to y”
“given this sql table, write a postgres query to get the first to 100th row and return the data as json of this form”
“make 1000 rows of sample json data with fields name address phone”
“write a sed command to search and replace X with y”
“create a cmakelists to compile this”
“write a python program to compare two directories A and B, if a file is in both A and B, then ensure that in B it is the same subdirectory as A, create the directory if needed”

etc etc and critically important:

“that didn’t work”
“another approach”
“any other ideas?”

If a programmer sees no value in any of these sorts of AI interactions then honestly they're not worth being on your team - they're wasting productivity.

The point is not that a developer does not know how to do a given task, the point is that certain programming tasks are just hack work- it's a waste of time to be hand coding them - let the AI write a first pass for you and debug it and move on to the next thing. And when you are doing hard things, breaking new ground, learning new stuff, then the AI gives quick answers to the multitude of questions that will be coming up in your head. Sure, sometimes the answers are wrong but that's a small price to pay for the number of times the answers are right, or point you in the right direction.

Also, certain technologies are incredibly well suited to programming via English language - for example regular expressions - grep/awk/sed - I've always dreaded writing regexes because I know what I want but it's such a chore to hack through finding the right syntax. You're burning your employers time it you don't use AI to drive such tools. What could be better than saying "with grep scan all python files recursively and case insensitive for the word 'import' and return the file name and the relevant line and also the immediately previous and after line".

AI programming is programming via pseudo code. How can a developer find no value in that?
Where C++ stands out is being wide and leaky at the same time. It allows high level programming, and yet you have to know about all those tiny low level nuances in order to avoid shooting yourself in the foot. In comparison, Java and JavaScript allow you to stay at one level and not look down.
Eh, I like it and use it all the time. Different strokes for different folks (pun intended).

Yes, you cannot use the result without matching on the result/option type.
But JSON is somewhat impoverished in that only has floating-point numbers, strings and a handful of symbols (true, false, null, ... ?).

The most obvious thing lacking from the point of view of interpreting in a Lisp-like way is an ergonomic syntax for symbols.

People have experimented with computation in JSON, pretty much like how you have it; but it's lame to work with. Nobody wants to write quotes around basic identifiers like "+". And it is inefficient, to boot.

Interning of symbols is a key advantage of Lisp, and it was there in 1958 already; so by using JSON this way, you're regressing before that.

Lisp converts symbols into small values, which are atoms. Two or more occurrences of the same symbol are the same atom. An atom is a small word-sized quantity. Often a pointer, but not necessarily so; it could be a numeric index into a table of objects. Anyway, it is very efficient to test whether two atoms are the same object.
And grass is even younger - just ~100-65mya! (depending on the source - not sure if it's narrowed down in papers)

> Does someone watch an entire 2+ hour movie with a sweaty headset strapped to them

I just want to say, absolutely. Except it's not sweaty.

You're not going to do it in a social situation -- it's not replacing a movie the family watches together -- but in your bedroom or home alone absolutely. Just recline on your bed/couch and watch an IMAX-sized screen in the sky above you. Surround sound in your AirPods.

I already do it with my Quest 2 and it's glorious. It's hard to imagine how good the experience is until you've tried it.

And I'm convinced that within a few years, it's going to become the main way of watching movies together with friends/family/lovers when you're geographically apart -- whether 2,000 miles or 2 miles.

Long standing in what circles? I've only seen it in Russian derived or connected media, political think, and institutions. The primary source of papers using that term to refer to US law seems to be the Russian State University of Justice.

I don't think I've seen an authoritative source elsewhere use it, because it would be like pretending the Norman conquest never had an effect on legal proceedings. As if there is some unbroken historical lineage.

This is why I labeled it a buzz word, it's a phrase with a specific (negative) connotation attached to it, used by specific media, as a catch-all for describing institutions in the US.

> conspicuously no GPUs

That is interesting. I wonder how hard it would be to do PCI passthrough to enable GPUs to work with Windows 11 ARM running in a VM?

I wonder if it is even possible to write a driver for an external GPU for macOS on Apple Silicon? It seems that Metal on macOS Sonoma intel still supports external GPUs.
It seems to me that Apple is going for a very different direction than Meta, I see a lot of comments online by people that don't seem to understand this or perhaps didn't see Apple's presentation, they were very clear and careful about how they presented it.

Even when showing gaming, it wasn't VR games, it was a screen in AR playing a traditional game.

It seems to me this is also in the name and the branding, it was heavily rumoured that it would be named Reality Pro, but naming it Vision Pro seems to set what they are aiming for more clearly or at least how they are marketing it, it's about vision and essentially a replacement for screens, not a metaverse or virtual reality.
I had to break it up into two legs to do a similar route (first to Lake Isabella then to Bakersfield)
In my case well over 90% - for simracing. Pancake mode doesn't come close for me, it's an entirely different experience.

However more than 2 hours straight is far more tiring in VR but for me that's due to eye fatigue rather than the HMD.

I’d tread carefully on a day where I’ve burned half a brigade in a fruitless, hare-brained probing/screening effort. But then, treading carefully isn’t something Ukies (and the fandom) are generally known for exactly.

Cute that you've gone from Ukraine's capitulation within weeks

Have I? (Remember: “Kiew within 72 hours” were Gen. Milley’s words.) But let’s assume I did; it certainly would have been the prudent thing to do for them. Must have underestimated their ability to waste hundreds of men day after day after day and just pretend it wasn’t so. And the willingness of Western media to carry their water. And, in fact, the sheer magnitude and shamelessness of the whole propaganda effort. War is peace, baby. And anyway, as Borrell (just recently), Austin and others have observed, the Ukrainian effort would collapse within days if Western were to end. Another one of those facts pro-Ukies just love to ignore.

pretending to count bodies

It’s very easy to become an authority on Ukrainian losses in the West because you’re pretty much the only one showing up for the job. Half a dozen guys, tops. Truly the least interesting question conceivable by man.

I understand that you, as a Brit, are congenitally bound to hate Russia and to desire to stir the European pot but remember: there’s nukes in the mix this time. Should be glad that Russia isn’t in fact losing.
Poe's law strikes again; I came here to make the same comment sarcastically.
Or you could not be ridiculous and just use 2 or 3 monitors like everyone does today.

At least you have the option to put monitors above and below as well.

And completely swap configurations for different use cases e.g. coding versus gaming.

This is not true. Most seats have a 120/240v receptacle that can keep laptops charged while in use.

You’re forgetting this thing uses a mostly passive M2 chip. Not to mention I’m sure they designed it so it could be powered from the USB c ports on their laptops. The headset won’t use anywhere near the amount of power you seem to be implying.
And they can lie in the bed that they've made.
> The original Macintosh was a flop in terms of sales, at first.

The point: it sold well enough for it to lay the groundwork to the Mac market of today.

Afhanistan and the Ukraine both have a little less than 40M inhabitants. (Which is around half of germany, or like 20M less than France).

The Ukraine has/had a relevant IT-offshoring sector, from Wikipedia there's around 1/3 of the soviet military industry that was sitting there (including companies like Antonow)... and they had a few years of preparation since the krim was occupied where they knew that russian secret services would try to undermine any kind of communication infrastructure.

I doubt that they currently rely on WhatsApp for military communication...

Ownership is a legal concept.

If you want to talk about whether it is good public policy to allow manufacturers to make computer stuffs that are difficult to repair or that have technical restrictions baked in that make it difficult to run software other than that provided by the manufacturer, please have at it.

To suggest that this is an ownership discussion is at best intellectually faulty and at worst the sort of hyperventilation that has people rolling their eyes at you.
TBH, here are washing machines with WiFi. With proprietary, mobile-only, cloud-only applications. Maybe, it is possible to hack these protocols. Maybe. Maybe, cloud will be up and running in 10 years (typical age of washing machine in my life, after which it requires replacement due to failure of one of the main aggregates). Maybe. And, maybe, you country will not block this cloud and cloud will not block you country. Maybe.

>Are you saying that Rust will refuse to compile code that does not explicitly

Depends what you mean by explicit.

Look at it like this:

pub fn main() {
let mut vec : Vec<i32> = vec![];
let x = vec.pop();
println!("{:?}",x); // prints: None
}

In this case you see the value is missing.

vec.pop().expect("I want a value")

will panic with "I want a value" because value is empty. And most rigorous way to deal with it is:

if let Some(x) = vec.pop() {
println!("{:?}",x);
} else {
println!("EMPTY"); // prints: Empty
}

will either print value or EMPTY depending on what the vector contains.

Types like Result will issue warning that you didn't handle the cases.
Unfortunately, even beyond DRM, online competitive gaming is both an extremely popular hobby AND the most direct use case for trusted computing outside of top secret work. There simply can't be a fun, popular online competitive game without strict verification of the client software to keep out cheating, so Steam offers an extremely valuable service in this alone (as do other DRM schemes).

It's perfectly acceptable to use nouns to modify nouns in English. "Beach house". "Stone hearth". "Microphone stand". Go looking for more, I bet you can find a lot.

Of course, it's anyone's speculation and numbers will give us answers in future.

I see very similar parallel to headphones imo - why would anyone wear a device instead of listening to amazing speakers. I feel the same for vision.
