I've worked at two out of the FAANG companies and many others. Never seen a workspace in the last decade that didn't either have a laptop and external monitor or multiple monitors.

And there has been quite a bit of research [1] on them with 98% of users preferring dual monitors.

If you have no desk, are you putting the keyboard on your lap? Sounds fumbly.

> It would very obviously be useful for work if you can actually get high res

Is it even that high res for detailed monitor work? 4K per eye yes, but for your entire field of view. Does that meet Apple’s definition of a “retina display”?

I currently sit a few feet away from a 5K display, that’s way more pixels per degree of FoV.

Same goes for movie and TV watching. I sit maybe 8 feet away from a 4K 55” TV and I can absolutely tell the difference between 1080p and 4K. Surely the equivalent “projected” display on this thing is gonna be 1080 or lower?

Of course, as one of those 30% of people with myopia they referenced earlier in the video, I dread to think how much extra it would cost to be able to see anything at all through this thing.
The lines are fuzzy for sure, but the point is more about public perception instead of actual definition. The issue is really more about the public worrying about an AI being 'conscious' enough to be a threat to humanity (AKA skynet) and LLMs/Diffusion models just can't be that.
I don't care about playing with LLMs, so this is simply meaningless to me.
Yup, this is the reason why I bought an Oculus Quest 2, to use Immersed[0]. The idea to have a huge multi-monitor setup that I could use on the go - carrying it in my backpack - felt really appealing[1].

With the pandemic I didn't really end up needing it that much, plus I had some lag issues which I never bothered solving (by buying a separate wifi dongle) so my usage never really took off, but the idea was solid.

The Oculus headset is a bit heavy/sweaty. Not a dealbreaker per se but with something lighter I could definitely see myself giving it another go.

[1] I work on a single 13" laptop, for portability. I like the setup but I do see the benefit of having large screens. It's just that I can't really move them from one place to another so I'd feel crippled on the road.
The past couple weeks there have been a few times I've been completely startled that google hadn't indexed a site. One of them is a forum that google used to completely index and now I have to use the forum search itself to find old posts.

That's voltage, not amperage. Just because it's a 120V receptacle doesn't mean you can draw large current. My laptop charger gets booted off the grid pretty frequently on a full plane.

Yeah I’m approaching 40, and if I spend more than 30 minutes or so with a laptop on the couch I get crippling shoulder pain at night while I’m in bed. So this sounds like a lovely way to avoid that problem but - even with a headset strapped to your face, what do you think you’ll be using as input devices? I’ll still want a trackpad and keyboard in my hands. (Waving your arms around all day isn’t fun). And if I have to balance a keyboard on my lap anyway, aside from a bigger virtual screen, what’s the point?
Of course - I have a blog post detailing that here: https://jasoneckert.github.io/myblog/ultimate-linux-arm64-wo...

It is a problem with the tool. The footguns outnumber useful functionality ten to one.
And the infringers can be reached/influenced by the court.

Random resellers on China have no reason to care about US patents.
It doesn’t have to be, but Apple has generally deferred new functionality to major versions, especially since they moved to an annual release cadence. There have also been a few exceptions since then, but they’re usually headline features which were supposed to bolster the major release but fell behind schedule.
No, just an oculus rift S that I used for about a week. It left me more disoriented than I've ever felt. I am not prone to motion sickness, love roller coasters, etc, but VR was too much. And I was _really_ set on loving it.
Just on a philosophical level: is it possible for a child to have a better or worse childhood, as measured by adulthood competence (critical thinking skills, EQ, IQ, whatever)? Like, assuming that iPads are awesome - is it necessarily true that all new technology always helps no matter what?

I agree that, in general, a series of narrow, tactical victories, especially those which lend themselves to being enshrined in legislation, do more to help a movement than trying to overturn an entire system in one stroke. Base hits rather than grand slams. It's not sexy, it's not what revolutionaries scream about, but it's about a million times more effective.
Yeah, some ideas are the same. Some notes:

1. Their LP constraint matrix is just a Vandermonde matrix according to the linked paper, while my code formulates the LP problem in a smarter way that should make the job much easier for the LP solver. I guess this improvement would be easy to adopt on their end.

2. The linked paper focuses on tiny types like BFloat16, but they mention scalability with large data types as a future goal. My focus was on larger types like IEEE-754 binary64 (double in C) from the start.

3. They account for range reduction and output compensation! This seems really nice, I hope that whatever they did can be applied to my approach to improve it.
It sure can be used as a display for a Mac. Just stand in front of a Mac, and the screen will go dark and the windows will be moved to your Vision Pro.

Here's the point in the Keynote showing it: https://www.youtube.com/live/GYkq9Rgoj8E?feature=share&t=552...
You're both forgetting the ppc32 to ppc64 migration, i.e. G4 to G5 processors.

It was a lot easier than the rest, but still come with its own migration and compatibility issues.
Yeah, I really don't get how people feel like IRC is somehow the pinnacle of chat. Even if you think a lot of the features added by newer applications and protocols are unnecessary or even a negative, it's really hard to argue that IRC isn't a patchwork of incredible cruft built on top of something so barebones that it just did not survive contact with reality.
Sure. But you can use a laptop on any table.
I hope this pushes other platforms to provide some more memory channels, could be tricky for AMD due to them wanting to commit to AM5 and I'm not sure if you can retrofit it.

Through then most consumer applications don't necessary need/profit much from the wider memory bandwidth as more bandwidth is harder to use then faster memory speed.

And more channels in a "motherboard not on-die" setup is much more costly for everyone (motherboards + CPUs + end user) then for on die. So maybe new CPUs with some on-die memory with their own channels + 2 classical channels is more likely. But then more on-die L3 or L4 cache (e.g. X3D) is probably more useful then on-die RAM. Hm, it's fun how in some way apples CPUs mismatch most of the consumer marked, but then Apple PRO models don't sell to most of the consumer marked.
For sure, but I'm not sure how that's any different from any other particularly risky investment. If you're not comfortable with that risk, put your savings in T-Bills.
When the flat icons came up in the middle of the users vision I was impressed by how bad it looked.

They already listed foveated rendering in the features (which I believe is what you're describing). It use the graphics performance budget efficiently, but it can't physically add more pixels.

It's really cool technology anyway, and according to PSVR2 reviews, it seems to work well.
Very nice if they did this as a supportive gesture. Apollo is great, and the kind of thing Apple needs to encourage on the app store.

Unfortunately, Apple has a huge problem where the only developers that really "get" making great iOS apps are independent people or small teams. Every other major app is some kind of weird amalgamation of half-busted UX concepts from various platforms, probably because there's no good way to offer a service with a mobile app without having to design and engineer for the least-common-denominator.

I'll also add that Apple's own iOS apps are often much worse than the third-party competitors in the space in terms of design and functionality, and update on a glacial yearly cycle, but have deeper platform integration than most developers can muster.
I just think you and others are arguing against a straw man that does not represent those who would off the cuff/colloquially/on their resume claim to “know C++”. Yes if you then ask to clarify and the person says they know the whole thing back to front that’s suspicious and worthy of validation.

But as someone who has been primarily working with C++ (14,17,20) for several years I will continue to colloquially simplify that as “knowing C++” while having the humility to note that does not mean I know nearly everything about it. I know how to prevent subtleties and unexpected outcomes reasonably well within the subset that I commonly work with, and also know that when working outside that subset or using things I don’t understand well, that I’m wielding a footgun that must be treated with extreme caution. And most people who “know C++” would also be in that camp, and we’d know that’s what each other means when we say we “know C++”
I don't think all those points seem like "trying very hard", they totally seem to me like the base case, and it's up to the product to rise to the occasion and show how this is all wrong.
Hmm either their brains are melted or the entire world economy is tilted against the working class to a degree not seen in a hundred years, and it's hitting the kids the hardest. I certainly know which one I think is more likely...
for some reason I can not answer your subsequent reply so I do it here:

I looked at your example and played a bit with it and yes I agree with you - compiler does help in this case.

My old text:

So instead of checking if vector is not empty you check that the return result is not empty. I do not see much difference. If Rust compiler would choke when "else" clause in your example is not present I would understand your point about compiler preventing improper access.
> Whats the anti-spam plan?

User moderation in focused spaces!

Its the same reason Discord/Telegram kind of works, the same reason small niche subreddits (and Hacker News) are still OK, the same reason dedicated game servers are so much nicer than public matchmaking in video games... They have a hierarchy of users who are motivated and empowered to police their own reasonably sized niche space.

Twitter can't do this, but maybe Twitter should not exist as it does now.

Reddit the company wouldn't really like this either, as they would have rather have mainstream mega-subreddits over collectively smaller niche subs.
Yes, sorry, typo.
> Do you have examples? Have you paid rent, your mortgage, your car, for a laptop, etc, with cryptocurrency?

Of course they don't, if they live in a vaguely developed nation. I can't speak to the stories some tell of using it countries where the national currency is unstable, and my apologies to previous commenter if this is legitimately a problem the have, but everywhere else this is easy enough to answer.

In somewhere such as the US or Europe, who in their right mind as a landlord or mortgage provider is going to take the volatility risk of accepting crypto as a primary means of settling rent/home payments, when well in excess of 99 percent of customers wouldn't use it anyway? The very few businesses that do accept often do so as a novelty - see the use of dogecoin on some fan stores etc etc.

As always, I'm sure there are exceptions that prove the rule, but I can tell you right now my mortgage provider, car dealer and computer vendor would all laugh at me if I even asked.
No, DICOM is a container format that can contain JPEG XL image data
But that reading requires looking back and forth to read the operator and the operand. The further you move out the more you shift your eyes and the harder it becomes to quickly jump back to the level of nesting that you are currently on at the other side.

The percentage of views from third-party clients is single-digit, but it's likely a significantly above-average percentage of those are power users who generate content, moderate subreddits, or both.

This suggests to me that management is not interested in making it a long-term sustainable business after the IPO, but in a short-term cash grab.
Version 1, actually[1]:

The PS.temp file is a special file created by the Adobe Photoshop program to implement the program's virtual memory scheme. Virtual memory allows you to work on images of nearly any size, by using a hard disk instead of RAM (random-access memory) to hold information. The PS.temp file contains the program's virtual memory information. The file is normally deleted when you quit the program.

For implementation details, see the files UVMemory.p and UVMemory.inc1.p in the source distribution[2].

I went to Meta’s quest page. I see controllers everywhere. Are those optional?

Which other headsets are using this display tech?
Not that it’s the same, but I remember people reacting this way to smartphones in public places. We seemingly consider the same behavior people raged about in the past as perfectly normal today.
I did try out Nomad BSD - https://nomadbsd.org/index.html

Not sure how active it is TBH and not something I dabbled with more than briefly in a VM.
Also being a wealthy software engineer, there still isn’t a better multi-monitor mobile solution than this at any price point. If you’re only working from home sure, but I like to cowork with friends in a variety of places.
> The original iPhone cost so much people mocked it. It costs twice as much now...

The original iPhone models were $499–599 only WITH a 2-year AT&T contract, so that price was heavily subsidized.

The current iPhone 14 range is $799–1099+ for the base configs with no contract, but these are unsubsidized prices.

(The base model iPhone SE is only $429 today.)

Apples to oranges comparison.

Carrier and retail subsidies still exist. It's just that they're no longer the only way to buy an iPhone.

The "latinos" who live in the USA, it seems so. At our own countries it seems the tendency has shifted to the left side of the spectrum - Chile, Argentina, Colombia and Brazil had recently elected left-wing governments.
Similar to the Newton launch too. And quite a few of their "revolutionary" laptops that ended up being expensive duds.
Ah, I see. What does the contain provide other than image data?
Yeah the snippet of the wikipedia page that you link is citing the paper that put the final blow to the fungal lignin breakdown hypothesis. It points out (the last point is particularly strong):

* there is evidence for partial lignin breakdown in existing deposits, so we know it was a thing back then

* if it were just lignin breakdown, then we'd see orders of magnitude more deposits. that is, if you look at the per year deposit rate, you'll see only a small fraction of lignin being deposited.

* a large fraction of deposits doesn't even contain lignin, often below or above deposits with lignin, but without there being a different rate of depositions between them.

(copying my earlier comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34654837 )
Well fire the marketing departments of all those other companies then if that's true. Because I've seen their demos and none of them showed anything anywhere near what I saw today.

You can be salty if you want, but Palmer Lucky came out and said this thing is "so good" last week. He knows a thing or two about this stuff and I'm inclined to believe him.
What did you gain from being mean on the internet?
> Which means I am sure you support the ongoing boycotts happening to BudLight and Target? Or are boycotts only for one side?

Of course I do. Nobody should feel compelled to buy a beer they don't want to buy.

> 99% of the people that have effective policy changes at CloudFlare and AWS have never spent a single dime at either of those services.

I think I need a citation for that. I used to work for a cloud company and there is a lot of back room negotiation that people don't realize happens. My default suspicion is that product advocates and product managers received real clear signal from people with money to spend that they were going to spend it elsewhere.

> Today cancel culture is something more than just a boycott, it is something new not seen before in human civilization

No, shunning is actually very old. It is the way communities small and large dealt with unacceptable behavior in their midst. Nobody is compelled to associate with somebody they don't want to.

What did change is that for a brief period of time, the existence of the internet, it's relative obscurity, and the pseudonymity it provided convinced a generation that they had subverted the old cultural norms. What we are witnessing is a reification of those cultural norms to the new technology. The USENET day is dead. The techno utopia was tried and found very wanting. Old patterns are reestablishing themselves, though with more voices at the table because ultimately, you can't actually stop the signal.

The former president was kicked off of somebody's microblogging service and responded by creating his own. That's how it's supposed to work.
Every time I fly First, the best part of it is that the attendants are non-intrusive. If I were to go and convert that into an interrupt-driven experience I think it would be a massive downgrade.

"Yes, I'd like to be woken for meals alone, please". Lie down, effectively teleport a few thousand miles away, wake up to eat, teleport the rest of the way. One time, I was so tired I just went to sleep in London and woke up in San Francisco. Captain Kirk had nothing on me. The plane was a teleportation chamber.

Now I'm sure the thing that many people like is talking to flight attendants, but personally when people wait on me I prefer it completely in the background with a minimum of questions and interruptions.
> Of all the Apple products it's the one that works flawlessly and gets out of my way.

You probably didn't experience the Atmos bug. For about a year, Atmos audio on the last Apple TV model would just drop out randomly every couple of minutes for like 10 seconds. In some cases it would make a big noise sound blasting through your speakers. They finally solved it in the last big TvOS version but it was painful to experience.

For streaming of Netflix, Disney, etc it's a great device but for Plex it sucks that it doesn't have HDMI audio passthrough.
They finally did it - you can use an Nvidia card I assume with the new Mac Pro?

edit:

Apparently not actually - they only list I/O cards and others as connectible. No mention of GPU.
>"Correct way is to check BEFORE you pop_back()"

Absolutely and this is exactly what I do. I always check the containers before removing elements.

>"In Rust, any number of invocation of pop() will not result in undefined behavior. You can ignore the value, or you can check it, but it doesn't expose you to UB just for slightly misusing a vector."

I do not understand "slightly misusing" part. I assume in Rust it would bomb if pop() returns "none" and you try for example add said "none" to some number.
>Lots of people like to claim they support the idea of free speech, only then then list 100's of things they want to ban...

Sounds just like Elon Musk!
I was responding to the idea that it's good nothing is at null island because it's a default. I was showing that there are aome default locations that have people and there are consequences to that.

I don't believe GPT-4 has ever failed this question. Here is a tweet from the release day showing it passing the question: https://twitter.com/charles_irl/status/1635699547023482880

I don’t even have a data plan on my phone so I can definitely say that navigation works just fine when offline!
> As for the haptic feedback, it felt a bit off. Earlier MacBooks had a satisfying clickiness and responsiveness, but that didn't seem to be the case with the current model I tested. I suppose this could be subjective, and perhaps some may prefer the current haptic approach.

I think there was a change in Apple's trackpads around 2015-2017. I'm going off memory, but prior to that, the haptic feedback was more like a motor, and after it was something more like a speaker. I noticed it because I had a 2012 Macbook and bought a Magic Trackpad, and the click had a noticeable difference.
I actually carry a keyboard around with me in my laptop bag 'cause I think keyboards on laptops all suck these days.

But that's probably not the exact point you were making and yeah, I'm in the minority.

Just don't dismiss my corner case, por favor.
My reaction to the original iPhone was, “that’s it. That is every phone from here on out.” The UX was so clearly years ahead of every other phone UX and it combined the wildly popular iPod with a phone. If nothing else it took two products that a lot of people carried with them and made it one and did that well.

While the vision pro is impressive it doesn’t make my pockets or luggage lighter. And there isn’t a thing I am not buying because I am buying this.
It might have been a good idea to put the M2 itself on a replaceable board. Other than adding some professional video out or capture cards, which you could probably just do via Thunderbolt, I'm just baffled by this product.
Or on my lap, for that matter, but it can't throw up a virtual array of huge monitors. Even the biggest laptops feel cramped next to my desk setup at home.
They are making you a favor. Use anything else but not them. They have a history of vulnerabilities worse than any of their competitors. It's a company run by private equity, so you can expect them to cut costs on everything including security and privacy.
