When an OS is written in Rust fully, then we can talk about acceptance.

Parts of systems written in a language doesn't really mean anything for its adoption into mainstream. For example, Amazon uses Ruby heavily for a bunch of deployment stuff, but Ruby (sans Ruby on Rails that is in decline), is not really a mainstream language any more.

>Equating the existence of unsafe with C is laughable imho

Im not comparing it. The point is to demonstrate that unsafe exists for the sole reason of performance. In fast code you often want to directly access x[y] where x and y are variables, without having to run extra code around it. Its a well known computer science thing, as most of the code challenges given in interviews rely on this access pattern for optimal solutions.

And because of Rice theorem, a compiler cannot determine whether x[y] is always safe, as determining all the values y could take would involve running the program.

So as such, for all the advantages that Rust offers, you can have the same advantages with C with macros and LLVM extensions, albeit with less concise syntax.

Similar arguments were used to justify Haskel about 6-7 years ago, and Haskel is pretty much dead in the water at this point.

The modern way to make a memory safe language is to focus on a high level language that doesn't require programmer to deal with memory directly, and then work on the compiler to make the resultant code optimal.

1000s are living in RVs on Los Angeles’ streets. Reducing it is an elusive goal
A new entrant in the "No wireless? Less space than a Nomad? Lame." race...
yeah my immediate reaction was to laugh at how ridiculous it looks but the features are amazing. i didn't expect much but damn they hit it out of the park if all of it works as well as they are saying.
I’m interested in it to replace my monitors at work and home, that’s about it. Not only would it allow for more screen space, but (I think?) it would allow my eyes to focus at infinity while working
Are you using code interpreter to get the answers, or is this just based GPT4?
> Lisp’s unusual syntax is connected to its expressive power. How? Not because of “homoiconicity”, a word that has no meaning but leaves people somewhat impressed, because it sounds fanciful and mathematical. It’s because of uniformity.

No, it _is_ because of homoiconicity, which though a fancy word, does mean something: code is data. That is the reason Lisp syntax works. Clojure is less uniform, but it is still homoiconic, and that is why it has the same powers as CL.
I've been convinced by your arguments about bad faith IPRs by for-profit entities! ... and therefore, I suggest the USPTO also prevent for-profits from filing patents.
Exciting to see what mods people will come up for this device.
I don't see the big difference from my dad running around with a camcorder when I was a kid (and it was considered normal for families to have really embarrassing home videos watched for laughs, I think AFV made me value privacy), or a modern father using a phone to film, other than with the headset he'd have to look in my direction instead of through an eyepiece or a screen.
2: The more people buy and hold Bitcoin, the more valuable it becomes.

I asked ChatGPT about the definition of common enterprise:

The 7th and 2nd Circuits use a "horizontal commonality" test, where a common enterprise is found if the profits of the investors are interdependent - i.e., if the success of the enterprise is tied to the success of other investors. Essentially, the investors' funds are pooled and they share in the profits and losses.

3: Overwhelming majority of people who buy gold buy it as a hedge against inflation. In the past 5 years everyone I personally know who has bought cryptocurrency was expecting it to increase massively in value (expecting profit).
4: There have been a huge amount of cryptocurrency pump and dump stories where the promoters have benefitted immensely. In those cases it seems pretty clear that those are securities. In fact pretty much anything that isn't a top-2 coin at this point is subject to this sort of behavior from what I've seen.
I think I saw the Safari icon. I do not see why they would limit it.
starts at US$3499, available early next year...
This seems very promising by being based on already existing experiences (support for iPhone and iPad Apps). Considering all the other features the price of 3499$ doesn't seem to crazy, especially because it can replace all of your monitors, TV and more while also enabling entirely new experiences for basically the same price.
They excel at a lot of workloads I do a lot of, and I'm really keen to experiment with non x86 desktop processors.
In India, anybody can get a business account, which allows you to setup a catalogue of things, services, and you can pay inside app through underlying UPI interface (government operated quick guaranteed no-return money transfer). I have booked cars for rental, I have bought grocery, pizza, shoes n stuff.
> Apple's hardware is extremely well designed and durable.

It's well designed, yes, but it's certainly not durable. The entire device will have to get scrapped and replaced if even the slightest thing goes wrong with any of it.
Photoshop discovered mmap?
Impressive list indeed! Co-founder of Signadot here. Btw, we don't manage Kubernetes (K8s) environments; instead, we enable multi-tenancy for test tenants within a customer's existing K8s setup, without duplicating infrastructure. We leverage sidecars or a service mesh for request-based isolation, dynamically routing traffic based on request headers (typically propagated using OpenTelemetry).
I'm scared what eye tracking might become with ads. If you look at the ad they know and can count it as a click. I'm still excited about the hardware.
To give normal darts the damage potential lawn darts have you have to:

1: cut off part of the plastic tail so that the whole dart fits in a ~1m piece of PVC electrical conduit
2: wrap electricians tape around the brass front so it fits snugly but not too tight in the same piece of pipe
3: put the dart, point forward, into the pipe
4: connect the back (or "breach") part of the pipe to a large foot-operated bellows as used to blow up dinghies.
5: aim the pipe at a brick wall
6: jump, or have you accomplice jump on the bellows
7: walk towards the wall and extract the dart from a brick into which it has embedded itself about 1.5 cm.

Source: personal experience. We did not have lawn darts. We did not need them. Even at that age we were smart enough not to aim the pipe upwards to see how high the dart would go in the knowledge that it would eventually come back to ground level.
Which laws are you talking about? The way the SEC is designing some coins as security, while ignoring others is remarkably laughable. The thing is, they clearly don't have a clue. Like, tagging BUSD, a stablecoin as a security, is truly the cherry on the cake.
Yeah, it's possible to have IP fallbacks in the downloadable app, but if it's not working, it's likely it wasn't done (although I'm not in a place to check if the web gateway is currently working; it's possible two things are broken at the same time)

Looks like it's back now (or in progress to back anyway), but if you want to mess around with your hosts file, and you don't mind a bit of spelunking, you can find your suggested facebook IP with host www.facebook.com, and then look around in the /24 of that IP, looking for whatsapp-cdn-... in reverse DNS. That IP should respond well to requests for web.whatsapp.com. You might need to do something for the websocket hostname(s) too, but I forget the details of that. Might work going to the same IP. Take a look at domains used now, in case you want to do this again in the future.
It really feels like you could use this as a sidechannel to figure out where the user it looking, even though this information is not supposed to be accessible to third party code.

Have different parts of the scene have different complexity and measure performance counters/framerate.
> You can track all of this (things like Rc or Arc do) except move.

Which means you can't track this. Tracking moves is fundamental here.

> Relative pointers are possible, depending on what you mean.

Pretty sure they're not possible in the sense I mean, for the same reason as above - you need custom moves for this. I'm referring to a pointer (not an offset; a pointer) that automatically adjusts itself when copied or moved. So that it always points somewhere N blocks before/after itself.

These are just two examples, to get the point across that Rust actually lacks some capabilities (since somehow that surprises people). You can find more.
The "common sweetener" in the article is sucralose.
3D recording will just come to phones but this is obviously not an iPhone event.
I like that it doesn't look like regular glasses. Hopefully that will encourage people to use it in their home or workplace, but not in public
These look at least somewhat inspired by Daft Punk's helmets, which feels almost intentional, since the guys from Daft Punk have made about the most socially acceptable robot "look" that a layman knows about.

I'm about 95% sure Apple doesn't actually make a USB hub. (I'd check, but the store is still down for keynote-related updates.)

I think positing that Apple somehow makes extra money by making people buy third-party USB hubs—the vast majority of which will be bought from Amazon, whether or not Apple sells any in their own online store—is stretching juuuust a little bit to paint them as greedy.
I think also, this is not something that can be developed in a vacuum. I mean look at the Apple Watch. When it was first announced it was advertised as something very different from what it morphed into.

We have a lot of UI and software interaction that we need to figure out before we have the proper hardware.

This will remain very niche, but it is a starting point.
Apple spends at minimum a month prior to an event rehearsing. During a live presentation they have people following along with alternate presentations that can be switched to immediately. These are full AV productions that would make producers of Super Bowl halftime shows jealous.
I think it's largely about balancing the spend with the income. CNN simply spends more money on highly paid "talent" than the business model can support. They simply exist due to cable fees and probably given excess in terms of their actual contribution.
People miss the forest from the trees when it comes to social media claiming the users make the community. While it is completely true, it's not the complete picture. The communities have to be fostered. I'd be willing to make a bet that any alternative websites and/or communities will not rise up to replace Reddit because it's hard to foster a social network. Way harder than the individual parts of moderation per subreddit. The people who think otherwise are most likely living in a fantasy Utopia
For $3499.
$3499, gulp, but it looks awesome!
13 minutes later they made this exact comparison right before announcing pricing. At $3500.
$3499.
nothing like getting away from it all so you can plug yourself directly into the metaverse.. what
Wonder how much Apple paid for all these ads.
That's interesting, we're sure that's the case? Their marketing pictures make it seem like a semi-transparent front screen with cameras around the periphery.

> Floating 2D apps can be placed to float around your "real world" space, which remains visible through the semi-transparent display.

Which would make it distinct from most of the VR headsets currently on the market, and rather in the category of AR headsets.
$3.5k though?!
I would argue this is the inevitable result of all political entities. They get captured by the richest parts of the system they're supposed to rule over. This happens to left and right leaning organizations, the only difference is what kinds of undesirable policies result.

This is why a political system that lets parties be born and die naturally is preferable to the US two-party system. We're stuck with a choice between two vampires.
I am beginning to dread every new iOS version as they seem to just make it worse and worse as times goes on. Examples:

1. Copy and Paste. When first introduced, it was great. You got a magnifying glass to be precise. It basically just worked. Yet somehow they kept changing it and every change makes it less usable. Currently, you can't really place the cursor at the end of a line (seriously, go into iMessage and try it). It's trying way too hard to snap to where it thinks you want the cursor. The only way to get this is to put it at the beginning of the next line and delete back. Pressing on a word brings up the "select" menu instead of just placing the cursor half the time.

2. Safari tab groups. I liked the old version where you toggled between tabs and private. But now you have to go through an extra step: selecting a tab group. Some people may want this. I'm not one of them. There is absolutely no way to opt out of this.

3. On an iPad hitting the top center of Safari brings up some split screen functionality that I have never used, don't care about and don't want. It's a natural place to press to go to the top of the page so this happens all the time.

Please just stop with this, Apple.
What course of action doesn't come with a cost? Fixing things well is expensive but fixing things poorly is generally more expensive in the long run.
As you can see they're still a thing, so you could be any age from 0-60.
Price is $3,499. Who is this product for?
Step 1: set your profile picture or whatever they call it as an ad. Use the free form text entry to customize the add for your target audience.

Step 2: start calling people. Doesn't matter if they answer, their dialer will show your ad.

The only workaround for this I can think of is to install an alternate dialer that doesn't implement this feature. I'm not sure it iOS has user replaceable dialers, though, that may just be an iOS thing.
$3500
Pricing "starts at $3499.."

Any speculation on who the first adopters will be?
$3499 is somehow not as bad I was expecting given how much Apple charges for Studio monitors. Gonna be interested to see this thing in-person at an Apple store next year.
The benign ignorance of symbology that comes across in the article aside, the celebration of Stepan Bandera with a national holiday, street names in their capital and elsewhere, monument, etc. is telling.
I prefer those banks over the current crop of initial-named “CEOs”
It's priced at $3499 = seems too expensive for a consumer device (maybe)?
Same here. The fact that a usually "tasteful" company like Apple decided to demonstrate VR intruding into our life in this way, makes me somewhat worried about the future.

By comparison I suddenly find something like the Valve Index and the emphasis on gaming, much more benign.
Hmmm thats not particularly compelling.

I was expecting more. It seems like an oculus but with a software team that can actually do user focused software.

Some providers (namely ISPs) simply dropped the binary groups and kept the text ones. So piracy alone is clearly not what killed it. In fact, Usenet really only exists today for piracy, so if anything, piracy actually saved Usenet. Just for a different use case than originally intended.
From the initial pic I thought it looked cool, but then when seeing how bulky it is from the side it looks fairly dorky.
It definitely is. The capabilities of the headset, control via hands, and form factor are all big advances. The need for a battery in your pocket is a step backwards as standalone headsets don't require that, but it's the price to pay for all of the computing power.
Starts at $3499 and is available early 2024.
I can't imagine people walking around with them on. But I would absolutely wear one of these on a train or bus.
But that to me just says that radiation definitely delays growth and a little radiation already affects a much larger organism like a plant, it’s probably hurting smaller organisms much more.
I like that they don't stick the battery on the headset. No need to stick extra weight there.
Incredibly impressive hardware, but Apple's distaste for games is almost comical. $3500 headset that plays shitty 2d arcade games with a controller.
A friend just mentioned to me https://github.com/m1guelpf/plz-cli (whose tagline I unknowingly reproduced). The difference between think and plz is that in think you are able to keep the conversation going, which allows you to easily ask for followup tasks.
Ooof, $3499 is a bit much to swallow. I would have considered if it were under $2k. Still, I might go for it considering how amazing it is.
I'd really love to hear from somebody currently using a 1.5TB Intel Mac Pro
3500 is way too much when trying to introduce a new platform. I guess that's the cost of the display (two apple watches) and the chips (a Macbook and a half). But still.
It's priced at $3499 - seems too expensive for a consumer device (maybe)?
Starts at $3499... I don't think this will be successful.
When Bob Iger came on stage I did a full facepalm. When they started buttering me up before announcing the price, I knew it was over.

At $3,499, this is a toy for rich people, not a new computing platform. It almost feels redundant next to an iPhone, which is really not the selling point you want for something that costs more than 3x as much.
Besides Nvidia cards usually being faster and having higher memory bandwidth, Ada cards also have FP8 cores. I'm not sure how well Apples' M-series chips handle low/mixed precision tensors, but I wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia cards perform better with them.
> Now the scam callers will not only be able to spoof the FBI's phone number, but show a badge and a threatening full screen message too!

Do they do that now with iPhones? It seems like the requirement to be using an Apple account would significantly hinder the scammers.
The demo for that looked pretty rough. The user's facial expressions looked unnatural, and the lip movements were poorly synced to the audio. I guess there's only so much an "encoder/decoder" model can make up with limited input data.
THX-1138: “What's Wrong?”
Is it just me, or is there barely anything here that's not possible with existing Oculus headsets (or stuff that's about to be released, like eye tracking), for way less?

Also the architecture of strapping a computer to your face instead of having a powerful desktop PC stream the screen wirelessly to your face seems like a bad call. Poor battery life, little power, and that wired battery pouch thing does not inspire confidence.
With the $3499 price tag, this isn't really something Apple intends to compete with any other VR/AR headsets.
Some providers simply dropped the binary groups and kept the text ones. So piracy alone is clearly not what killed it. In fact, Usenet really only exists today for piracy, so if anything, piracy actually saved Usenet. Just for a different use case than originally intended.
Wondering how this is going to change the remote working experience. If the price point starts coming down, I can see this as really useful for digital "in-person" meetings that keep people more engaged than a Zoom call.

Intrigued to test this device out to see if it's really much different from the typical VR experiences.
> I've been using the Docker container for a couple years without incident.

Before I ran HA Supervised [1], but that was a pretty poor experience. It broke every so often because of some sudden software incompatibility because Supervisor was silently updated in the background. And it really broke everything instead of having a grace period and/or sending me a notification.

> I've never really been a fan of the new automations and scripts UI, though, so I just stick to editing the YAML definitions manually.

Same here. Although things seem to improve in the next version with copy-paste support in the Automation Editor [2]. I would love being able to edit my YAML automations though.

Did you also known about a little known feature that you can setup different automation sources? Just like this:

automation: !include automations.yaml
automation foo: !include_dir_merge_list automations/
automation bar: !include_dir_merge_list automations2/

Although not _best practice_ per se, you can have both UI and YAML automations at the same time. This is especially useful when you want to use Blueprints [3].

The default narratives used to justify questionable industry practices fall apart so quickly when we engage in even the smallest amount of inter-disciplinary dialogue.

I'd love to see more of this.
I've always heard the PS2 Linux kit was to defeat some higher tariffs on importation of video game consoles versus the lower ones on personal computers. Some editions of the PS2 came with the network module pre-installed so maybe even without the HDD necessary, it could still loosely be defined as a PC since all that is missing is software that could easily be downloaded and installed.
It's super interesting to see Apple's strategy played out here. It feels like so many of their announcements today are part of a strategy to essentially become "the OS for your life".

Apple's nudging people into using all their devices for every aspect of their life. Compare this with the idea of creating a metaverse where you can interact with other people. It's harder to get people to jump into a metaverse cold, whereas if you're already an iPhone user, it's easier to use the halo effect to drag you in.

>> each one involves a victim who is, crucially, not a willing participant. People who participate in buying or selling cryptocurrency are willing participants.

The corrupt judge and barrister are very much willing. The negative effect is borne by a third party. Same with crypto. The buyer and seller are happy as can be. Then the rest of us have to pay to investigate, extradite, charge and liquidate Bankman-Fried and FTX.
I am surprised multiple commenters seem to not know about the (as far as I know, extremely common) euphemism "brand tax".

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=brand%20tax

It's not meant to imply that it's exactly the same thing as a tax. It's meant to suggest that e.g. Apple hardware is significantly higher margin than alternatives, an affordance allowed due to the reputation conveyed by the brand.

Like all analogies and metaphors, it does not imply equality, so showing how the two things are actually different isn't very interesting or constructive unless the statement being made hinges on wrongly comparing aspects that don't line up (doesn't seem to.)
Apple wants $3,499 for their AR headset
It's likely the most probable continuation.

If answer != google answer then censored

is the wrong way to think about an LLM.
There was a bit of staging going on in that demo.

Like when the fellow walks up in frame perfectly between two windows and hands the viewer something.

Or the FaceTime call where the woman was talking to 3 other people – why weren't they wearing the goggles?

But these would be great on an airplane and probably other circumstances. I doubt I will be buying any time soon though.
Omg ! this is true "arm and a leg" price
