I think comments on this site start greying out with just 1-2 downvotes, and we can’t see each other’s scores, right? So it is possible that just a couple people didn’t like it for random/obscure reasons.

It appears to be positive now, or at least it isn’t greyed out anymore. I wouldn’t wonder too much about these temporarily downvotes comments, they usually bounce back pretty quick if they are any good.

Coinbase tried to be the good guy in crypto. They lost money. Then they tried to be the good guy with a sideline in shitcoins. They lost money.

No matter how this case winds up, Coinbase is in a terrible financial position. If you were a Wall Street bank, would you give them financing right now?
Did you miss the fact that Land Rover tints rear windows and never the front windows from the factory? Regardless, if you drive to a state that mandates tint at a certain level it doesn't matter what factory it came out of.. you're still breaking the law.
The planet has never been, is not and probably won't be in any near future in peril. Humanity is. Humans disappearing is the concern of ecology. The planet will adapt just fine with or without us, and species disappearing will be replaced in time by new ones.

Not having children is not effective at perpetuating the human race, and thus not usually considered as an ecological solution.

That being said, you don't have to have children to be an ecologist either, but you certainly should realise that your efforts are directed towards future humans, not towards the planet which does just fine anyway.
So we should sue all glass manufacturers to stop them from putting out windows in case Microsoft decides to get into that side business? I am of course joking, but that's the problem with protecting side products, especially in likeness vs actual logo situations (again,just think of all the manufacturers of crappy, leaky, easily breakable windows that need to be upgraded prematurely, that would have to shut down).

If you study economics for any length of time you will realize the majority of human misery is driven by market power abuses restricting human ingenuity, pushing labor prices artificially, etc. Copyright, patent, and trademark explicitly increase market power substantially and so it is very dangerous to do what the supreme court did, as the fundamental test for these things should be "what is the minimum we can do to solve x?" where x is a problem like brand confusion, product safety, etc. What was done in this ruling was to push us even further from the minimum and it's a very bad thing for society.
You already can?

MacBooks with Apple Silicon processors can run a shitton of iPad apps natively. App developers can choose not to have their apps listed in the store if they want, but many do.

Or you can just… plug an iPad into a monitor with USB-C.
JavaScript is fine, the real problem is HTML/CSS and the DOM.

We were so, so close to a semantic, reader-based web ~20 years ago.

The ad supported Internet killed it. Now that the ad supported Internet is dying, maybe we can get back to it.
What's not to get? Trump, Fox news, and a vanguard of the Republican party framed Coronavirus as a Chinese attack on the world in an attempt to boost their support.

Why some people are willing to believe the nonsense spouted by both I don't understand, but the fact that people do explains why so many view it as an intentional act by China.
If you run programs that you can't trust (for example because the source is unavailable and/or nobody reads it, no one is a gatekeeper of program updates etc), then you are opening yourself to attack because the default unix security model is just as bad as the Windows one. (The Windows one used to be much worse, but it isn't anymore, now they are the same badness)

Nowadays, the web browser is used as a platform to run programs on and so it has a lot of access to weird things (multiple monitors, local filesystem, ...) so one has to be careful what you enable there--since you probably run a lot of Javascript written by shady people you don't know.

The Linux desktop security model has user accounts, and then files have permissions for those users (yeah, there are also user groups, whatever). That means if you have a misbehaving (or malicious) program, it can read stuff in your home directory since that's owned by the same user account--so it can read your saved passwords, delete all your photos, figure out your banking info--but hey, at least it can't remove your printer (since for the latter you need to use the root user account :P) /s .

There are mitigations against that and the easiest (and crappiest) one is containerization: just run each program in an isolated virtual-machine-like-thing and they can't access other program's data (i.e. the rest of YOUR data) in the first place.

Then there's SELinux which flips this entire thing on its head. By default, nobody can do anything (that's the first very good decision!). If a process wants to do things, there has to be a policy installed that mentions that specific thing to be allowed and when. Otherwise no go. This way of working is much safer, BUT someone has to maintain those policies! And it must not be the program's author since he could just add whatever line he wants to have to the policy--and that's obviously bad. So who does it? Usually the Linux distribution's maintainer. Or, more commonly, nobody--so there's no policy for your favorite program and so it won't work.
When Lattner talks about what Modular is doing, it sounds like they are planning to be almost like an operating system for AI systems, and Mojo is the language you have to use.

So it makes sense that it's not open, and you can only use it via their notebook. It probably doesn't work on normal hardware + Linux. That's the monetization strategy. You have to run their system and pay for it.

Seems clear to me that's not a minimum requirement for viability. The ease of integrating the device into the situations where is might be useful is certainly important, but there's a sliding scale. I'm not sure where it becomes viable, but I don't think it's all the way at the end of the scale.

Actually, I think this entire analysis is backwards. The question isn't how far from perfect the Vision Pro, or any other VR/AR/MR device is, but whether it does enough things well enough to be worth the trouble.

(For me, it looks like the VP does not, mainly due to the price tag. That's even assuming some new major drawbacks that become apparent once it's released.)
Well my friend:

Everything (really) by Erving Goffman. A beautiful synthesis is [1] which I might recommend over the original material (sacrilege!) if you were only going to read one thing.

We (as Western Civilization, maybe) have still (imo) not come to terms with the bounty that is William James. I had negligible interest in religion, but if you're into the weird mix of psychoanalysis, sociology, and deep thought, I cannot recommend [2] enough. I read it over the course of a year, annotated the margins like the faithful annotate their holy texts (do they do that?) and many evenings still open a page, read randomly, and ponder.

I had never really considered what an institution really was, or how it came to be, or what was implicit / assumed in interacting with it. This classic prompted much fruitful imagining [3] although it's the most difficult reading of them all.

Given your tastes, you may have slogged through a bunch of philosophy and hated it. The good news (or maybe the bad news) is that this is super fun and easy to read and gives you most of the same nutrients [4] as certain schools, and has obvious contemporary relevance besides.

This scratches a proximate itch [5].

I'm a little sheepish bc all of these (except for maybe [5]) are deep classics and are, in a sense, obvious for that reason. And yet I have a PhD in a related field and never actually _read_ any of them, so maybe they won't be obvious to you either :)

You would need a lab in the real world to do this recovery, if it is possible.
Funnily enough windows actually manages your two points about videos cards pretty well. I've experienced full graphics driver crashes which were recovered from cleanly with only the process which triggered the crash as a casualty. But this needs more than just "slap it in a microkernel".
Thanks. Its a really good article so far, I got halfway through before I had to leave for work
Their "green hydrogen" nonsense counts as sabotage.
Illiberal societies like Russia, Iran, and China also have low birth rates, and falling.

The correlation is with economic development and education, which suppresses birth rates across all cultures and systems of governance. The only places in the world with very high birth rates are poor with high levels of illiteracy. As they develop their birth rates are starting to fall too.

It’s funny… I remember the overpopulation panic. If we’d kept reproducing like that we may well be facing a “Soylent Green” future, but it didn’t happen. Instead of celebrating the fact that humans seem able to self regulate our birth rates to avoid Malthusian catastrophes we are now panicking about that instead.
I mean that you don't need to sue them.

There should be some sort of jury (to call it something) that is not as expensive/slow as a trial.

The point here is that it isn't black and white and furthermore, whether you like it or not, taking care of earth is a political problem in the most basic literal sense that you have to get people to do it.

Unless you are cooking up ideas on how to wipe the human race out like some kind of mad scientist, and presumably kill yourself afterward, the fact is, people need to be convinced to modify their lifestyle/culture somehow. Telling them to simply die without children ain't gonna do it.
do you think if they could google simple questions they would still parrot silly talking points 3 years after?
> You can run android apps on the quest and I'm not sure people care that much.

Yes, but these apps aren't native to the interaction patterns of AR/VR. They're adapted touch apps, which makes them as awkward as touch apps adapted to a desktop OS are.

Native visionOS apps have full affordances for eye and hand-based navigation and should be a good deal more pleasant to use in AR than emulated touch apps will be.

From the article:

> I think UTF-32 is the simplest. Each number is put into a 32-bit integer, or 4 bytes. This is called a “fixed-width” encoding.

This is wrong. The 4-byte fixed encoding is UCS-4, and while UCS-4 currently encodes all of Unicode, there's no guarantee it will "forever". Just as people who assumed UCS-2 was "all" of Unicode have since been proven (very) wrong.

UTF-32 is a variable width encoding even if right now there's no reason to use surrogates out to the next plane (particularly because the next plane is entirely inaccessible to UTF-16 and only UTF-16, but UTF-16 is still one of the world's most common encodings).

On the other hand, all the tools built on top of Javascript could just as easily be explained by solid foundations that are easily to target with higher levels of abstraction rather than symptoms of the foundation being rotten.

It makes more sense to ask "compared to what?" and look at what's going on in the lateral client application platform space.

On iOS, it's very hard to target the foundation with higher level competing abstractions not because the foundation nails it but because the foundation isn't built on simple primitives that area easy to target. You have one blessed way of building iOS apps (UIKit) that's then, over the period of a decade+, slowly replaced by the next blessed way to build iOS apps (SwiftUI). And you generally have to wait for Apple to build APIs that you need because you're not given solid building blocks to do things yourself.

Most discussion around web client development takes place in a vacuum where we look at it and go "well it could be better" (or "it's a dumpster fire"). But that's either a trivial or meaningless statement in isolation. It's more interesting to at least compare the state of web clients with what is the cutting edge state of the art across all client development. When you do that, I don't see how most HN claims about the dire state of JS actually hold up.
I just added a base configuration to the cart to see the price, looks like it starts at $799, which is pretty reasonable imho.
That's certainly a factor but it's not too hard to plan ahead and bring or buy a book. Or work on a laptop.

JFYI, firejail can do all of that. It can start each application in a separate xserver (giving you a choice from several implementations), deny access to everything with whitelisting (or do the reverse — your choice). The profiles are really easy to read and write, and it already covers a lot of popular stuff.
Legal compliance is something you want to hire a professional service for. It changes too much. They can educate you on the risks of your specific field.

Pricing is a massive question with infinite possibilities. It usually needs to be tested, continuously. Or just locked in and changed on a regular cadence. A lot of it is going to do with you users and the value your product adds, or how that value is perceived. No book is going to answer this for you, just give you ideas of things to think about. Half of which will likely be N/A to your business.

Well, no.

That assumes that offspring follow their parents' ideology directly. While many may, some will not.

What we've seen over time is a defection from e.g. religious right upbringing, especially as offspring move into denser urban areas.

It has nothing to do with liberalism, birth rates are plummeting everywhere and especially hard in places like China which are anything but liberal.

Don't look for scapegoats: people are not having children because they can. They never wished to procreate enough to sustain population, they only did because they had no way around it. It's incredibly stupid to portray achievement of progress as some kind of curse or even moral failure.
Chat gpt says no.
Service providers must undergo audits to ensure that the security measures they take meet the eIDAS requirements. This includes strong protective measures against unauthorized access to private keys. The keys are usually unrecoverable when the end user has lost their credentials. It’s actually quite involved and costly to become such an accredited provider.
They aren't the same but they are both extreme solutions to the problem of climate change that are unlikely to win a significant number of adherents.
That is an interesting hypothesis. Zeihan wrote that it is/was the industrialization of agriculture combined with child labor laws that shifted children from assets to liabilities resulting in fewer births. The book presents fairly compelling data to support the correlation, but population density could be a confounding factor. I grew up in a (very) rural area and the people I knew even from the nearest town had far fewer children than my great grandparents did. Tractors became cheaper than 12 kids. And I guess even without child labor laws, there aren't a lot of modern jobs kids could do I think.
Hell is other people. I thank you for an excellent effort regardless of them. I built it using your very descriptive docs and images and it ran well.
Right, but those usually require some sort of binary blob despite being USB. Look in /lib/firmware.

My laptop has a Bluetooth adapter connected internally, made by Intel.

# modinfo btintel
filename: /lib/modules/6.1.30-1-lts/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/btintel.ko.zst
firmware: intel/ibt-12-16.ddc
firmware: intel/ibt-12-16.sfi
firmware: intel/ibt-11-5.ddc
firmware: intel/ibt-11-5.sfi

It still requires binary blobs to function.
> I don’t mean OpenBSD: it’s secure because it doesn’t enable much.

If you want it easy for the average joe, it's going to be measurably more insecure. If you want it secure, it's going to be barebones by virtue of intentionally having reduced attack surface. That's just how it goes. Unfortunately, I will concede that default Linux is in an awkward spot of being too insecure to be considered "secure enough", and too difficult for newbies to configure properly.

In the case of social network platforms, you have to do more than than convince someone to switch one person at a time. Using one social network platform over another is a group decision and you have to convince an entire group to switch at the same time. It does me no good to switch platforms if the people who I interact with are still using the old one.

This means you need more than just a better product; you need some inciting event that forces entire groups of people off the old product at the same time. Something like that product deciding to destroy the tools people use to access it...

Eh I’m fine with this.

When the whole identity of your company is ripping off other products it’s fair to lose.

Nobody said it out loud but I think what they’re really trying to say is this product isn’t art, isn’t anything associated with art. Like Weird Al could write a parody about dogs and make dog toy merch that lifted some trademark and it would be fine. There’s just no protection for an entrepreneur who wants to sell shit by mimicking a trademark.

I don’t think it’s a very persuasive rebuttal.

they already do over-weight content from smaller subs, it seems proportional to how much activity a "normal" thread from that sub sees and if something is very popular in a smaller sub it'll pop to the top.

it's just not enough to outweight very regular, very popular content from the mega-subs. And more threads in popular subs increases the chance of something going viral. How often does something from r/zfs catch fire, really catch fire? Not that much. Even if that's only 100 upvotes for a smaller sub, it just doesn't happen that much. Smaller subs are generally closer to their average, they go viral less.

Frankly maybe 5 years ago I blocked Gallowboob and filtered a lot of the larger content-churn subreddits and it's dramatically improved the overall experience. There is (or was) still plenty of content in r/popular and the frontpage.

I think you mean trademark tarnishment instead of dilution.
The act of associating a trademarked product with something distasteful or disagreeable is considered a tortious offense called tarnishment. Tarnishment is when you use a Dallas Cowboy's cheerleader outfit in an adult film[1]. The filmmakers argued it was parody, but the judges didn't think the adult film was comedic.

However, naming a reasonably good character in your children's film "SPA'AM" is not considered trademark tarnishment[2].
