Yeah, not many people wearing ski masks that cost more than many people make in a month while jumping around in sweaty hot concert halls.
I might be missing the details here, but everything outside the breast should be pretty much black and will get compressed very efficiently (high signal, low noise, easy to predict).

Foveated compression sounds like a super cool idea I've never thought about before.

Before that, you would need to get radiologists onboard with the idea of something being "diagnostically lossless" (think visually lossless), which is currently a hard sell (some promising research does exist on this)!
It's also weird how totally unnecessary all of this is. You could probably say that about most wars really, but this one is entirely pointless. Russia didn't have to invade at all. They can go home at any time and it'd all just stop. It'll be hard enough to deal with all the loss and damage that's been done already.
That sounds about right. Some reagions just a few kilometers north of where I live are fine, close by hunter ask to be paid to hunt boar, otherwise it is just not economically viable due to test and recycling requirements.

> It never made sense back then and neither does now

Well, Apple was the first 1T company. I don't know which grade they were learning me that companies maximize profits and minimize expenses. Until it works for Apple, they will happily put whatever price tag. It makes no sense to complain. People will either complain with wallet (not able to buy it) or Apple will just continue to be a behemot.

Not a lot of research, but a few Google queries turned up nothing. I guess maybe the issue is this is a UK-only box, so a relatively smaller population of tinkerers has had at it.
I think there is some perceived advertisement value. And some sales person might tell management that just banning NSFW might help pushing some number of more adds... Thus to get numbers up ban it.
There is only this blurb to go on at the moment:

"Passkeys can now be synced using external providers..."

so it's hard to say exactly what it will mean for user control and choice. Which external providers? Will users be able to access and store their own private keys in compatible apps of their choosing? If so, aren't we largely back to passwords?
Yeah, we use CCL for local development and SBCL for running code on servers. I hear that the development story is better with CCL due to improved error messages but I'm not sure how much I agree with that, however we continue the practice because it ensures that we're writing portable code and aren't tied to a single implementation.
IF it succeeds, this may be the reason, that much we agree on. But will it succeed? I find it doubtful.
I did the same quest and I'm happy with the AirPods Max. I remember reading Apple originally wanted to make them better but they would have been more expensive so they didn't, I wish they had.

I have more expensive headphones than the AirPods Max but these are what I use the most.
In a factual article, the default assumption is that the pictures are real. You should tag generated images.
Yes. The other standout was no shared space AR. Meta is big into this with shared anchors.

They specifically spell out how they don't want it to be isolating, but every shot of someone using it to do things like watch movies or sports they are entirely by themselves in the experience. It feels like something went seriously wrong with some piece of this and they yanked a large segment of the AR stuff out. I don't believe they didn't try. I wonder what the story is.
No, he means 3D touch, hence the comment saying it would go away.

Neither butts nor boats are all that large though. Even if Apple has made both boat loads and butt loads of money, we would need to be talking about gigabutts or kiloboats to get anywhere meaningful.

> > Namely, 5,000 patents filed over the past few years and an enormous base of talent and capital to work with.

> It was mentionned in the keynote as well...should Apple really brag about their patent minefield in a field that is in need of more players and more efforts to push it forward ?

That I didn't understood. Should that be a message to the competition? What should that tell me as a developer? What should that message tell me as a consumer?

As a consumer may I don't care how many patents are there. Because I don't have a benefit at all.

As a developer may it means, that a develop for a consumer base, but it is hard to predict how big that will be. Competition needs to work around those patents or will not exists at all because of possible licensing fees. So, should I start development or not?
I don't have any book recommendations but I can recommend taking a look at their publications and resources: https://maps.org/
No answer would apply to all startups, or events. And events for startup teams probably don't differ from events for teams (at companies) in general. In my experience one or a few people in the company plan events. A whole industry called event planning exists, maybe start there.
The presentation talks exentsively about that. Default mode is complete passthrough and you can dynamically change how much of your surroundings you want to see.

Also, it scans your eyes for identification. Someone stealing your device probably won't bring them at all closer to your data.
I think what would be revolutionary if this this tool could be used for blind people or for people with little sight. It seems a tool for those that can't move.
Yeah, all true about West Germany. In the immediate aftermaths. And then you had whole trains of Ukrainian milk powder "vanishing" before analysis cpuld be done. You had said French politian drinking water on live TV. You had the Swedes, the first realizing something bad happened, waiting to anounce it just to be sure it wasn't them.

Long term, everybody silently agreed to just not look too closely anymore. And blame it all on bad Soviet tech. Until Fukushima happened, that was when things really changed across the political spectrum in Germany, other countries either stucknwith nuclear anyway (France), never got into it (Austria) or had a far easier time getting out of it.
Is Russia the kind of country that would kill you or members of your family if you were in uniform and didn't follow orders? I honestly don't know. I do think individual responsibility absolutely has a place for acts in war, but I'd want that informed by that what choices those individuals had available and what they'd have understood the consequences of their choices would be.
Interesting, but can someone tell us what this implies wrt. authorities? If someone gets your iPhone and forces you to press your finger on the TouchID, he gets all your passwords no? While with a general master password you could just pretend to have forgotten it?
I feel that there is a categoric misunderstanding here: there is no "natural" conversion rate between "parking footage" and "abitable footage", the claim from the book is just saying "There are a lot of parking! More than you think! The parking surface is bigger than the abitable surface", it is about conveying a sense of scale not about "the ratio is 1.2 but should be 0.7".

As you have pointed out it could also means "The car in your driveway has 11 theorethical empty parking spots built for it, maybe there is an overallocation of resources"

Early to tell. No point predicting who will say what, when people will say everything on the scale eventually.

People have different needs, and use cases and are affected by the way things become implemented. The details of usability, impossible to tell just now.

Probably one thing is easy to tell, is that chatting with a helmet on while moving around in the room is not going to work. : ) That's just stupid marketing crap.

I am looking forward its feasibility for external virtual screens of a Mac - or even a PC! -, with physical keyboard and mouse, that sounds attractive. But with patience, let's see how it works first in long run for the masses. And if it gets to a more realistic price tag sometime.
The original iPod didn't officially run on PCs, at the time easily the dominant platform and only became fully compatible with the third generation model. iPhone didn't ship with an app store and while it nailed a bunch of UI paradigms, it was limited compared to much of the competition for the first year or so.

I think it'll take longer than that for Vision to bake, it seems rough, it's just that the idea that Apple products are released fully formed has never been particularly true.
I like the MKBHD review he just posted. It seems more balanced and nuanced.

Reminds me of a 3D TV - glasses did not work then - it will be a niche product.

Now if Neuralink actually figures out how things work and develop a inducer type of headband technology without requiring invasive surgery then it will be the killer product.
Can't read and argue with all 2300+ comments but I am pretty sure this is best we can get so far in the market and over the next 5 years - it will be improved significantly. Zuck can be the competitor in some way but Apple has this moat so it's very difficult to win.
Agreed. And i'll say something even more downvotable - i don't think Julia Evans's blog is very good.
They'd have to do a lot better than anything I've experienced. There are loads of these whiteboarding apps, including a first party one from Meta and they all suck when you try it.

If you carefully look though you'll see they don't demo shared anything. No people playing games together, watching movies together, literally anything. There's something missing here in the story, I don't know why they would have left that out. I wonder if you really can't do it.
No kitchen sink?
True.

But just like software development, people do community management for a hobby.

Ask HN: Will you have headache if you use Apple vision for longer time?
It seems like that’s one of the reasons the first piece won - because it’s quite accessible compared to the others.
More like the next three years. Most software has a short lifespan. A lot of software goes obsolete, or requirements change, before it ever gets released -- a negative lifespan in a way.

A few software systems have long lifespans: Unix, Windows, Oracle. Those have undergone continuous development and don't resemble their original versions when you compare the code.

If you want to work on code that will apparently live forever in production, try the IRS or the California DMV.
Here in India, they've been handing out discounts. Got a new iPhone 14 after exchange for $600. The competition is almost the same price.

The Macbooks look expensive too until you compare them to similar Windows laptops with equivalent screens, trackpads, and battery life.
Because it requires greater integration. For VR the whole environment has to participate. At least if we’re talking about VR glasses that you can wear outside, every store, road, building block and what not should provide information. Who would create all that info, and for what purpose. Adoption is non-existent. There is no platform to submit your data. All we have is the interface. If you’re to wear them only inside then all you can do is the things you already do with a slightly modified UI. Which defies the purpose. I don’t want a virtual keyboard because I get no feedback from it. Virtual screens might be good if I’m in a hotel room, but then again I’ll have my laptop which has better interface. Text reading is an interesting use case but what happens with eye strain if you look at those screens for prolonged time periods. And by the way, what happens if you're wearing eyeglasses? Will they fit?

Perhaps they can find application is e-commerce. Sites could start building virtual stores and you get a feeling that you’re browsing wardrobes. I don’t know if that’s a thing but it kind of makes sense as a use case.

It takes a lot of effort and the results aren't that great. (low resolution, bad hands) It's way easier to just find the original image and use that instead.

Classic array bounds error. Obviously, if argc == 0, you should not dereference anything in argv.

It also shows why C is such a hard programming language. There is nothing to help the programmer in this case. The compiler doesn't know that argc is the length of argv, so there is not even a warning if you do it wrong.
Telnyx is not doing well financially, nor is Bandwidth.com, that is why both have upped their rent extraction tactics with shenanigans like offnet texting enablement fees when you use a different texting enablement provider, long support response times (Telnyx has acknowledged that it takes a week for them to respond to tickets currently).

Neither organization was prepared for a high interest rate environment, and this is reflected in how they are choosing to alter their business model now that they feel larger clients are locked in.

What you might look at is prepaid SIMs on Amazon and eBay for IoT use. Many bundle a years service and a data allotment or speed cap for a very low price. Speedtalk for example only charges $0.05/MB when roaming internationally. Other vendors are even cheaper in Ireland tho.
Thunderbolt falls short at 4k resolutions. It is OK for 4k24 through 4k30, but for 4k60 or higher (HDR, high frame rates and not to mention 8k) you would probably want an internal PCIe card. 40gbit thunderbolt sounds like it should be fast enough, but it turns out that for PCIe traffic it tops out at 32gbit, which just isn't quite enough.
Apple’s killer app has always been software finesse and hardware craftsmanship. It feels nice to wear and use an Apple Watch.

But cutting edge tech ages like milk. Still prefer a Garmin with a longer battery life.
It's also useful to give sources for pictures you didn't generate yourself.

I asked people that are close to my age at the time about this headset and the reaction is pretty visceral.

Offhand, Date types are really strings in SQLite.

Personally I'm not yet convinced that the normal SQL representation for what a 'date' object is matches real world use cases that well, or at least doesn't cover all of them.

As a programmer, what I find I want is a 'moment' which retains the input specification. Possibly in a sanitized binary format that's not the literal text, but also isn't a single numeric value either. E.G. Timezone Specifier / City (not just one per TZ!) + Human timespec (5 PM Tuesday the Whatever day of Month in Year) AND a pair of evaluation rules version and 'effective UTC||TAI time' for comparisons. The evaluation version thing needn't be a full version it might even just be a couple bits at the top or bottom of a long range 64 or 128 etc time number of some units. Something that can be used to determine if a value still needs to be updated with the latest rules set rather than using the cached representation.

The first approach doesn't work because it'll give the user motion sickness. The device must be able to interpolate between "frames" faster than you can update them, and providing the info needed for you to do that is a privacy issue.

We can debate the merit of the idea of sacrificing the thing you value the most in order to protect it - but it's neither here, nor there. People on the ground, fighting to defend their homes, are going to do whatever they feel necessary, including plenty of nasty, ugly, underhanded things - as it has always been in the history of war. But people far away, safe from any ongoing conflict, have no excuse - they're not sacrificing anything but intellectual integrity, and they're not doing it for survival, but rather for internet points or a leg up in some domestic political games.

It's the model that many companies follow. Buildup demand and let people find a need. Once that's done, charge the full + profit cost. These companies will not subsidize the costs forever. Uber is a company that has followed the model. It was cheap at the start but now it's much more expensive.
