What does this level of reductionism get you? If you follow that to its logical conclusion then it's essentially "nothing matters, nothing is interesting, who cares about anything, it would have been invented anywhere, pyramids are more interesting".

It's just a deeply cynical point of view for cynicism's sake.
Hopefully they try to automatically reproduce the build and reject when it fails:

As probably the only person on HN who has ever intentionally IV'd caffeine...I can confirm that it's not really that interesting. Just like regular caffeine, but slightly faster. Oral caffeine already absorbs pretty rapidly anyway.
Aha, so during the Opium Wars, in this battle, the US invaded China, killing hundreds of Chinese soldiers and capturing four forts, but you have some definition in your mind where "the opium wars didn't involve the US". The Chinese have a different opinion.

Also, "the US invaded the country to protect Americans there" is one of the oldest excuses for an invasion in the book. Just thinking of the Caribbean in the span of a few years, it was the stated reason for the US invasion of the Dominican Republic in 1965, and then Grenada in 1983 (the latter following days after the US invasion of Lebanon).

Also this was just one battle in the Opium Wars. The US fought alongside the English in the Battle of Taku Forts, as well as other skirmishes.
In spite of this it seems like most of the activity is for what I'd consider very low-value questions.
I guess op thinks that the supply chain delivers itself in an emergency.

The most popular GPUs in use TODAY are 1650, 1060, 3060, 2060.

If Apple can get the M2 Macbook Air to run like one of these, it essentially makes the most popular laptop also the equivalent to the most popular gaming rig.
Literally the first one in my moderation queue[1]. Perfectly valid question with almost enough votes to get closed...

An another important spec is FoV. Reviewers say that FoV is not the best but not annoying, but I don't know is it true or they just Apple's cool aid on WWDC.
Don't you have fire departments in USA?

In Italy they can be called, or just randomly do an inspection and they can just say "this entire building is closed until you adhere to regulations".

I work in sweden now and this doesn't seem to be a thing either. Lots of things that in italy would get you shut down happen here. For example doors requiring 2 hands to be opened from the inside. In Italy they have to be hands free doors.
Hi there, I add a demo option, so there is now need to login anymore

Really appreciate your help
Another annoying thing about having your hands full is when you want to take the headset off briefly, eg to answer the phone. You need to find a place to set the controllers so you can use both hands to take it off. And unless you’re using passthrough, you’re blind to where you can set them down. Then when you put it back on, you need to then find the controllers. My usual routine is to intentionally break the guardian barrier so I can see well enough to find a table to put the controllers on. Without controllers, I’d just reach up and remove the headset in 2 seconds.
Soon we’ll hear that Meta is changing its name back to Facebook.
they could, and occasionally a few CEOs do this. It is not the norm, though.
If you hold one Apple Remote each on your hands, and your hands were perfectly tracked, isn’t that basically same as Quest 1 with controllers?
> an official alternative site to reddit

It's important that it's not an alternative, or else we'll be in this situation again a few years from now. https://join-lemmy.org will allow us to create a network of sites (or instances) that are still able speak to one another.
1,2) don't turn a profit, especially if most users are indeed not using new reddit. It's probably better to let users customize new reddit and figure out a different stylesheet. Some 3rd party apps do this.

3) I'm guessing this isn't easy to do because there's still some division of ad revenue between the creator, the ad provider (usually google/apple in this case), and Reddit.And if you require ads and all ad revenue to go to reddit... well, there goes any incentive for others to make apps. 3rd party devs aren't charity cases either.

4) that is good for showing a profitable quarter, not good for generating actual revenue.
1st page of most search results is inundated with irrelevant ads. Pitiful. And yes, a small minority know about and actively use uBlock Origin. But that doesn’t mean the core functionality and purpose of Google search isn’t tainted. The rotting and decay has already manifested itself in ugly ways.
I agree that only Apple can make this product, but current target audiences primary want virtual big monitors feature. For such usage, they don't need great hand tracking and passthru. Maybe passthru is useful for like drink a water.
pivoting to service economy is a step-up.

there is a lot wrong with starryeyed libertarianism, but free trade with allies is absolutely not in the bad parts.
“ Is he even serious about any of this?”

Not sure how people are misunderstanding him, he literally said he was joking… He knows it’s not a great deal for Reddit. His whole point is that the app isn’t actually worth $20 million a year, which is what they want him to pay. It’s not even worth $10 million. Not to him or Reddit or anyone else.
here's the thing, humanity got lucky. there was a nonzero chance that china and the dictatorships could have triumphed. if China didn't botch the chance to overtake US in 2008 with a capable dictator. if China got its hands on many advanced US military technologies. if Russia didn't botch the Ukraine invasion. if covid didn't have a vaccine, except one that China developed.

I'm sure most of us are aware of the gulags that China ran in 2022, in the most prosperous city like Shanghai, with welded doors, lack of food, arbitrary killing of pets, moving their own citizens against their wills to camps or cells with no running water and unsanitary conditions. with cries in tall buildings from families in the middle of night for food. If. you haven't seen these things, go watch it online. Imagine if somehow China succeeded, and that's all of humanity's fate.
This is a good insight, but the interesting counter-weight to the reality you describe is that many people who want "remote" and the independence of work, don't really want the same "benevolent dictatorship" either.

Anyone know the numbers for Europe? I also hear a lot about re-shoring here, but don't feel much is actually moving
Everyone will be happy about that Meta doesn't use such money for excellent ad-clicking technology. Fuck boring capitalism.
Unfortunately all the sugar is working in the opposite direction.
I really think people aren’t putting enough weight behind the fact that it’s going to have an M2 chip in it. Obviously there’s no way to tell if it’ll deliver until it’s released but the idea of having a headset with potentially the full power of a MacBook is kind of insane.
> that includes things like Github for code reviews

I've never worked at Google, but if you want a clean set of commits to implement a feature (think Linux kernel/subsystem, git, etc), Github makes it unnecessarily hard to do that. The best they have is squash and merge which basically makes one mega commit and a merge commit that references a branch with a single commit.
> It’s not a fucking business. Stop insisting it is.

Apollo was/is a business, handles hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, and has a huge customer base. We cannot make up definitions and then insist others agree.

> We literally just went over this.

You mean, you did. Sorry to not play into your fantasy universe - out here in the real world, shouting something louder doesn't make it true.

> The fact that half of your comments have been flagged and downvoted to death

You make the mistake of placing stock in whatever button people click on a website - usually based on emotion, but not always. Either way, Internet Points are not real...

You may not like the facts - but that's why they are facts. They do not change even if you hate them. Calm down, re-read the original posts, and then we can discuss things more civilly.
The delightfulness factor is something that’s a big deal and that technical people trivialize and can’t be expressed adequately on paper for non-technical people.

I used to be a die hard Android and Windows/Linux power user. I’d scoff at all the stuff people would mention on iOS/macOS because “well I can do that too if I do this and that”. But then I switched back to iOS/macOS for a project and a lot of the papercuts being solved out of the box was actually such a huge gain.

That’s not to say Apple is perfect. They can improve a ton too (give me a proper path bar in finder please!), but (and I say this often) the products they make are more than the sum of their parts.

but of course none of that is something that is evident when you’re shopping for a product.

Plus, the question one would ask is: “can this do this banal task?” not “which one does this banal task better”. So I see why it’s not prioritized on other platforms.

Most people are just shopping for capability and specs. The delightfulness is too ephemeral to consider until you encounter it yourself.
Maybe we do but mostly as a cautionary tale for people who think LLMs are going to solve all their problems.
R/DeGoogle will be going dark in an effort to protest the Reddit API changes
A 2BR 1000 sqft house in the Bay Area still costs $1.5M (and rising), so there's a lot of "abandoning" still to be done.
>Losing the hardcore group of creators will kill Reddit because then there'll be nothing for the casual readers to read.

I agree. I guess the gamble here (that historically, usually pays off) is that the casual userbase size is good enough to keep the power users around, who ultimately want visibility. That's the hardest part of the modern internet and why social media survive well past what would be downfalls for any other product.

I'm not going to say Reddit is too big to fail, but I don't think reddit's death will be by a thousand paper cuts. it will heal with new mods as fast as the old ones leave. Whether it whither and rots away over the years with that new modbase is the big question mark.
Just because it sold a bunch of copies doesn't mean that it wasn't a novelty and got actively used. Fidget spinners sold like hot cakes. 15 million copies is also less than half of what Wii Fit pulled, so it sounds like people did in fact lose interest in Nintendo exercise games.
The entire company is structured around unpaid labor so they might care if it all stops.
I have a Ford. The CCS connector sucks big time. I can't wait to be on the tesla network. I'll even pay ASAP to change my charging outlet.
Often those who’ve only worked at small companies don’t grock how much organizational bloat is needed to run a large enterprise. Alignment cannot be done in a 50k employee company by having everyone hash it out over beers.

Large companies also tend to have sociopaths become the VPs, who only care about their career progression and not the actual company direction.
> I’ve toyed around with ChatGPT a bit.

Maybe this is the problem. You aren't going to great usage from it by "toying" with it. It's still early stages, and everyone is experimenting. My guess is that these tools will become more useful as we figure out how to use them as a true "copilot" rather than a grunt. What this will look like, will likely be different for everyone, and it will come with practice.

One odd example for me, is that I feel like I get as much value out of writing prompts than I do with getting output. Maybe more in some cases. Prompt writing has been a bit of a hack for me, to overcome the blank page barrier which many use the response for. That prompt may also set enough of an initial sketch that I'm going to stay true to my original idea rather than latching on to the first thing which comes out of the response. The responses may then have ideas that I can build on myself. Or I can prompt for a rabbit hole dive into one of those ideas.

So, maybe these tools are best for helping by passing the sketch pad back and forth to show different possible paths. I start the sketch, the tooling branches off with it. Maybe the response furthers the sketch. Maybe the response fills in a bit more detail on my portion of the sketch.

What I don't want to do, is to tell the tooling to create the entire drawing (unless we're literally talking about image generation.)
I just want something with more memory. It is crazy how little GPU memory has moved over the years. I have a 1080ti, and upgrading from there looks like paying a LOT more money for very little more VRAM.
What a coup d'état by the Saudis and Bone-saw MBS to merge with the venerable PGA. It just shows if you throw enough money around you can get anything done.

It was amazing to see how many PGA stars both already successful on the PGA tour and not take fat deals to join LIV but even better to see people like Tiger and Rory tell them to go f themselves. And now in irony of ironies they’ve merged.

Most people talking favourably about the Quest on HN talk about fitness games. It's easier to justify a hardware purchase if it will have a purpose, as you can compare the cost against a gym membership or a treadmill or a personal trainer. That makes sense to me.

But as a desk-bound professional, Apple's pitch to me is as a work device with a bit of wind-down entertainment as a bonus. It's easier to justify their hardware purchase if you're comparing against a new Studio Display, for example. You can convince yourself that endless screen real estate will solve your digital problems. "Honey, it's not for the PlayStation, it's for actual work."

I think both approaches are decent, but I've got a feeling that Apple are skating to where the puck will be, as they say.
Already when I was a student working on my thesis, my issues were too advanced to ask questions on SO. I asked but I got no replies.

At the time I would answer to others. Now I don't really bother. I often see a wrong answer being marked as correct, because it came before an actually good answer.

For me SO now is at most a website where to copy boilerplate stuff like "how to create a unix server socket".
I think that's pretty normal for pet cats: mine are like this.

However, I don't see how it's useful for stray cats. You can't just pick up a stray cat to look at its belly. A clipped ear you can see from a distance.
It's simple: NYC just needs to introduce lots of mountain lions or panthers to deal with the rat problem.
>if suddenly you are not geolocked.

But we all are geolocked to some extent or can you just pack up your family and announce that you are moving to Ghana because you found cheap house there? Probably not.

Of course I could take on debt and buy a bigger apartment - probably even from the same building complex - but that feels like insane solution to "going to office every week" unless again you live in America where your commute is 8 hour drive through wild gang lands where you have to be vigilant 24/7 just not to get shot.
I really don’t think that’s the case anymore after seeing WWDC and what people are doing with the new game porting toolkit. Individuals at their homes have Diablo 4 already running what seems to be flawlessly on their MacBooks using it. Also they brought Hideo Kojima out during the conference to talk about it, including announcing that DS was going to be released on max along with the sequel. I think apple is finally acknowledging gaming exists.
Why work for free?
What do you mean by “disabled static linking?” You can make and use static libraries if you want, but on Darwin-based platforms it’s never been supported to make direct system calls; everything has been required to link libSystem.dylib for system call access all along, and dyld has been unavoidable all along.
There was a commenter, I'm not sure if it was here, slashot or reddit, he would start with interesting premise but then halfway he got distracted and finished different story with something mundane never finishing the interesting story. He was famous for it.
It’s really sad if that happens.

I love this state. I feel so at home here. I have traveled and lived all around the US. I didn’t feel that anywhere else but here in CA. Anywhere in this state, I feel at home. The diversity of people, geographies, and weather. So amazing.
The Vison trailer felt like it was directed by Cronenberg or David Lynch.

Something very off about it, the over-polished, plastic execs, talking out of smiles wider than the grand canyon and the weird almost dreamlike people and scenarios.
I'm very interested in whether there's any actual risk here or not. This potential hazard both reeks of fear mongering horseshit crap & also seems feasible.

I tend to expect that in 90+ AQI environments the net benefit is colossal. But that's a purely intuitive guess.
Fair enough.

Ah sorry. Will unmerge!

Edit: done. Not sure how I missed that. Thanks!
This is cool, but I really need to hear more about how I can effectively use these kinds of drives in storage pools and backup applications without issue.

I didn’t have time to learn back when the first disaster hit with SMR drives got snuck in without warning and we had a small outrage event.

I’m happy for new drive tech but I’ve not seen much about the pros and cons of HAMR in real world use yet. Which could be because there’s no difference from traditional Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) hard drives, but then again it could have its own subtle set of trade offs entirely different to the ones that Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) drives do.
It’s not like the USSR cared about the environment even the tiniest bit..

Under capitalism at least you get free speech and therefore some public pressure to impose various regulations.
Renewable energy in the future is predicted that by 2024, solar capacity in the world will grow by 600 gigawatts (GW), almost double the installed total electricity capacity of Japan. Overall, renewable electricity is predicted to grow by 1 200 GW by 2024, the equivalent of the total electricity capacity of the US.

From a study on earth.org. Solar will also become 35% cheaper is expected by 2024.
For my sub it's about:

5% old.reddit.com

>10% "iOS"

>10% "mobile web"

20% "Android"

50% new.reddit.com (non-mobile, presumably)

Most subs should have a pretty similar distribution, the numbers don't vary much.

Reddit doesn't specify how it tracks 3rd party apps and APIs in these stats.
Right! Finally, thanks!
I submitted a question regarding an obscure realmd bug and subsequently submitted the answer (which took about 24 hours to arrive at). The answer was nitpicked over a tag, downvoted, and finally removed. I would not be surprised if someone in the world is currently struggling to resolve the same realmd issue as it is not documented anywhere else online. That was the last time I will contribute to Stack Overflow.
Shitty analogy — does your users produce the movies as well?
I probably wouldn't use something like this without extensions support. I can't imagine browsing the web these days without an adblocker. Otherwise, this seems pretty neat.

I think I'll stick with my current approach unless they decide to enable extension support.

It matters when, in a world with only Apple, most of the world would still be using feature phones.
Well just to be complete there are enumerated duties to shareholders (the fiduciary ones):

1. Duty of Care

2. Duty of Loyalty

3. Duty of Disclosure

4. Duty of Confidentiality

5. Duty of Prudence

6. Duty of Good Faith

You can start looking at this rabbit hole here (and it is a rabbit hole): https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/fiduciary_duty

P.S. Just a (fly-by)comment; not advice of any short or kind -- either investment or legal.
P.S.2 Oh it does happen that share/stake holders seek enforcement for breach of fiduciary duties. I would say it is quite common.
This is my experience as well. It's not that SO is inconsistent or anything, it's just that it's a very specific place on the internet that is appropriate for a narrow sliver of material. Sometimes your personal idea of quality material aligns with SO's, in which case great! Otherwise, frustration.
News to me too. Explains why there hasn’t been any videos recently with them.

Noted.
Yes, the ghouls who used to be satisfied with merely hollowing out America’s brick and mortar stores via private equity seem to have decided to move on to “activist investing”, so perfectly profitable and healthy companies have to increase margins to ludicrous levels, hire exclusively from southeast asia going forward, shore up commercial real estate by forcing people back into buildings during a still ongoing pandemic, and drop protections for LGBT. It’s great to live in modern times if you’re a culturally regressive idiot billionaire who lucked into money (or inherited an emerald mine).
Average cost of a desk is like 10k/yr. That’s very little compared to an employee’s compensation, it only has to make them like 5% more productive to be worth it.
See also, setting up other critical infrastructure like new rocket launch sites. So called environmentalists have taken every chance to file lawsuits against the FAA and SpaceX regarding activity at Boca Chica, filing complaints about animals that were seen once in the area 40 years ago and complaining about pollution on the beach even though it was completely uncared for before the facility got going.

On the other hand, when the abnormally cold front hit the area, none of those groups were anywhere to be seen trying to help the turtles while SpaceX employees were out helping and had helped setup generators etc at nearby NGOs (where the turtles were kept) who actually do care about the environment.

Also, regarding the F35, it's also a nice example of how valuable mass production and continuous refinement can be. Despite its original obscene cost, the program by now has produced so many planes that per unit it's actually not that expensive relative to other modern jets, despite being much better than essentially all of them.
The same caveats are also true of nuclear, and happen far more frequently for nuclear.

If we are serious about displacing fossil fuel use, and I am deadly serious about it, wind, solar, storage, demand response, new transmission, thermal storage, hydrogen for chemical process... all these things are deployable today at massive scale and should be quickly adopted. However, nuclear is further away and more expensive than we thought it was in 2008 when these reactors got started.

Back in the mid-2000s I was a huge proponent of nuclear. In the mid-2010s I change my tune because we had a ton of new data about nuclear being far more expensive than promised, and other tech had advanced massively. Nuclear has never advanced as a tech, it does not have a learning curve.

If we are going to reach a future with energy abundance, with clean tech, we need to invest in technologies with learning curves, that advance. Nuclear tech does not advance.
