I grew up with Nissan my whole life, even worked for them for a bit when I was in the Auto Industry: it ranged from S30s, Hardbodies, B11/12, several L and D chassis, and then my own foray with mainly S chassis.

And can confirm it's a thing. Hell I still make the bing-bong chime (sounded like it was saying NI SAN) before the engine turned over in any car (over 50 now) I've ever owned because of those memories.

While Nissan may not be in it's glory days anymore, maybe the EV era will allow things to get exciting again.

I don't see what's ambiguous here. I'm saying: never sign anything XML-encoded. Never use XML signatures.

Apparently me too. Hopefully the cookie expiration isn't short :)
I'm looking forward to when processes are in place to create self-healing code. LLMs right now are not great at it, but I blame the processes surrounding the problem rather than the reasoning abilities of a system like GPT4 today. I think all the pieces to create a *basic* version of this tool exist today that could heal simple code bases (like personal projects, one offs, etc).
And the peripherals are far more interesting from a license perspective.
> High Fidelity, a new SL without the technical debt.

Not really. Both Sansar and High Fidelity were "game level loaders". You go to an area, you wait a minute or two while the map and content downloads, and you're now running a world locally. Neither of those is a big seamless world loaded through which you can move freely, like Second Life. That's a much easier problem technically. But you hit the edge of the world pretty fast.

Sinespace is a good example of that genre. It has a user count in 2 digits. There's a version of it for business, Breakroom, which is simply Sinespace with pre-built office buildings, better customer support, and higher prices. It was used more during the pandemic.

There are many such systems. They're usually built using Unity, which seems to be good for this.
Just tried this with CGPT4:

Me:
Which weighs more, a pound of bricks or a kilogram of feathers?

ChatGPT:
A kilogram weighs more than a pound. Specifically, 1 kilogram is approximately 2.20462 pounds. So, a kilogram of feathers weighs more than a pound of bricks.
this is my reason for not being a day-one developer this time.
Yeah but half the time I get it wrong and accidentally left or right click when I intended to middle click.
More interesting would be the number of registered users who have at least 10 of these 7,245 subreddits in their front page feed.

I’d wager that with these 7,245 subreddits “dark”, over 99% of Reddit users are at least somewhat impacted (fairly confident in that) but also that a large minority now face a hardly recognizable front page (hard to put a number on that).
The 3rd party app issue, and most of the API problem consequently, wouldn't be such a big issue if they didn't take forever to release the official app, only to put out an awful one when they finally did. You don't see many people using 3rd party apps for other social media.

Is it possible to use Vision Pro to build and publish a Vision Pro app?

Because it seems to be another Apple device separating producers and consumers just like iPad and iPhone.
Since we're on the topic, the Perl and Raku Conference is taking place in Toronto next month: https://tprc.to/tprc-2023-tor/ Lots of interesting talks are on the schedule and there's even an introductory course for those who want to learn Go: https://sched.co/1NIEL (This part may be confusing, but lots of folks who work in Perl eventually end up writing some Go as well).
Really interesting take on your experience with experimentation / feature flags and wanting it to be more stateful in code. I assume that follows the more Terraform-like infrastructure as code approach, which certainly makes sense to rollout infrastructure changes. We have a V1 of a Terraform provider where we hope to enable more control through terraform to manage infrastructure changes directly, but you are correct that has yet to be our core focus. Another way we hope to expose that state outside of our UI is building out a great CLI, which we are actively working on.

Our primary usecase has been working with product development teams who have adopted Feature Flags as part of their workflows, using DevCycle to help them deploy features faster / safer to their end users, even deploying continuously as we do. Generally, customers integrate DevCycle into their Websites / Mobile Apps + API servers to control those feature deployments. We have had a couple of customers use us at the infrastructure layer. One of the best use cases I've seen is in a proxy service controlling the rollout of a new infrastructure stack. I'd love to dig into this use-case deeper and see how we can better support it in the future, "Ops" flags are one of the flag types we are looking to support.

I would say that for customers looking to disconnect the deployment of code from the release of features, our approach where you can "release" features at any time has many advantages over "git-ops" style configurations. But certainly, for Ops use-cases where you are controlling infrastructure changes, we are believers in "git-ops" and use it ourselves. The challenge comes with how to connect those two deployment styles effectively.
Partly it's because Reddit is in an antagonistic relationship with its users. People want a good message board. A good message board doesn't make for very good advertisements. What do you advertise on /r/ChangeMyView ?

Partly it's because Reddit has squandered its users' goodwill. I'd be willing to pay for Reddit if it was clear Reddit was going to work in my favor. Since right now it's doing its best to run off the mobile app I'm using, why on earth would I do that?
Disagreed on your last paragraph. The average website is constantly rescaffolding. Because of ads, lazy loading, shitty frameworks, whatever. I'm constantly clicking on ads and unintended buttons/elements because of it. It's literally why mobile newspaper websites are unusable.

So if the goal was to get clicks on ads, they'd be pushing you hard to mobile web.

The real reason is the app can get much more interesting data from you.
Strange that the issue was anticipated too.
Had a moment a few days ago with a certain distro not packaging latexmk. Turns out it's a one-file Perl script. It... just works. No dependencies, packaging, deploy process, automation, package hubs, no container with an entire OS, no private runtime, no binaries. Just half a meg of Perl. And it just works, and exactly like it did in the 90s. No fuzz, no bloat. We are completely lost these days when it comes to software.
> these kind of interventions on large scale social media networks are positive in my mind.

I have an earnest and legitimate question for you and everyone else of this mindset: Do you believe that these social networks, the media, and the government will always be on the right side of history?

I don't really understand being a proponent of arrogating this enormous control of communications if there is a nonzero chance that the bad guys will be defining the terms of service ten or more years down the road.

Do you guys who advocate for this really believe that the risk of, for example, a Christian revival is precisely zero? That control of this apparatus would literally never shift, and the speech of your LGBTQ friends would never be brutally repressed by it?

That's the only thing I can possibly see as justification for being a proponent of building and normalizing the use of a censorship machine: the solid, perfect, unshakable, 100% conviction that the bad guys would never, ever, get their hands on it.

But if that's the mentality, I don't understand, because history does not support this degree of confidence.

Huh?
Personally I don't see a significant portion of the Reddit user base leaving over this. Basically every major and minor city in the USA has its own subreddit. How many of those users are really going to leave and switch back to Facebook groups?
I'm interested to try it, but there's a few things holding me back:

1. I tried working in my Oculus Quest for about a week (two years ago) and gave up because the resolution is way too poor, and it's too heavy.

2. The price tag.

It looks like the Vision Pro is not a monitor/headset, but rather a computer + monitor all in one. Is that accurate to say?

-

I am tempted by this future, but I don't see it becoming adoptable for any reasonable users for another 5 years minimum. Plus, for developers to truly adopt it, we'd need to be reasonably sure our workflows (e.g. keyboard/mouse sync and ergonomics, portability, etc.) are increased in speed/comfort to ever consider adopting such a feature.
Demmings number seems to be a good coordination point, ie the group size where you can know everyone’s name. Around 100-125.
> There is no world in which it would be better for anyone to be able to claim they are selling an iPhone with iPhone branding and everything over it while selling an old Alcatel feature phone.

Except that it would not happen. In a word without trademark protection, people would be like "what the heck is an iPhone, what does it do?" because the word iPhone would have no meaning. You would have to sell based on capabilities, rather than brand name. There would have to be sufficiently strong laws against false advertising and deceptive marketing, but I can see number of advantages over the current system.

I agree with the rest of your post. The whole case is increasingly looking like a successful publicity stunt by the two companies to me. I don't think I would know anything about Bad Spaniels otherwise, and while Jack Daniels is well known, the way addiction works I would not be surprised if a large number of people were hitting their local liqueur store after seeing this case on the news.
As usual, the devil is in the details.

We can see this with voice to text, in which despite in theory being so much faster than typing things out, tends to not be due to these details (processing lag, clunkiness of handling different forms such as whether a word is part of a command or should be added to the text).

Same will happen here. People will get over the hype period and then realize hey this isn't actually faster or more efficient than a traditional tool. Apple knows this as well, it's why they're marketing it as a media consumption device first and foremost, where a lot of these problems can be safely ignored.
Degrowth not only is a solution, it's a guaranteed outcome if other initiatives don't materialize to successfully address the problem.
Using GPT4, I could not get chatgpt to answer wrong. Even pushing it to answer wrong, it still answered correctly.

Me: Which weighs more, a pound of bricks or a kilogram of feathers?

GPT4: A kilogram weighs more. One kilogram is approximately 2.20462 pounds, so a kilogram of feathers is heavier than a pound of bricks.

Me: Are you sure?

GPT4: Yes, I'm certain. The metric system and the imperial system use different units for mass. One kilogram is approximately equal to 2.20462 pounds. So, regardless of the material being weighed (feathers or bricks), one kilogram is heavier than one pound.

Me: That seems wrong

GPT4: I'm sorry if the conversion between kilograms and pounds is causing confusion. To clarify, the relationship between these two units of weight is as follows:

1 kilogram is approximately equal to 2.20462 pounds.

So, if you have a kilogram of any material (be it feathers, bricks, etc.) it will weigh more than a pound of any other material.

And really beyond rivals.com, your team-specific forum is even better. I was a frequent poster on shaggybevo before it became surlyhorns, and still hang around there. Though there are some absolutely unhinged posters on them (you get that with most smaller forums I've found).
1. Do you have any idea what is the latency for a such operation? This is real world, not computers. Imagine AWS engineers going on strike to give you an idea of how hard would it be to build a competitor from scratch. IRL clients will try to migrate to big existing players like FedEx, but you can’t build warehouses and a truck/railroad fleet overnight. This is a new “let them eat cake”. Why don’t peasants just make a startup that will make more food? Right?

Hey I'm one of the product folk here at DevCycle.

I have a feeling someone else is going to respond with some other points so I wanted to touch on something particular:

From my view, I just personally think most folks should be using feature flags and a continuous deployment cycle in general. With that in mind, a lot of what we built was to make it more accessible. We focused on an easier to understand UX, and building tools that were easy to interact with.

But most importantly in that line of thinking, and a major differentiator in my eyes, we tried to make as much of our platform un-gated as possible.

So all of our features are available to anyone regardless of their plan (outside of anything that requires a custom setup or something truly enterprisey).

This means that all of our integrations are freely available too.
Sourdough was the only sliced bread I could find at my supermarket that didn't contain any added sugar and also wasn't ridiculously overpriced. That's been the only bread I've used for over a year now, and regular American sandwich bread tastes so weird to me now when I have the chance to try any
I’ve seen a handful of proof of concept exploits over the years for the speculative execution bugs, none of them really worth caring about.

The most impressive was a local exploit for spectre which on certain kernel versions could leak /etc/shadow, and a similar one for windows that sometimes could leak a ntlm hash for local admin user. Both were from a commercial pentesting software company.

There’s claims of more impressive ones in academia, but no fucker in academia is sharing their code as usual.
Railroad strikes are not outlawed. They are probably more regulated than other strikes in some ways, as there are certain things they can't strike for, and certain times they can't strike. But when they do strike, they have more leeway too, like they can solidarity strike which is illegal under NLRA.

The most recent attempt at a railroad strike was stopped by Congress imposing management's contract. But that's not a general prohibition against striking.
I think reviewers who don't get excited about Apple products stop getting invited to new Apple products.
More of the "write about" and less of the "write about why I'm writing about".
The only reason for coding directly in C without using any C++ features would be if you have to contribute to a code base that is restricted to C. The Linux kernel being the most prominent example, but also a lot of embedded devices.

Fantastic analogy. Really makes you think..
So basically we would have ports installed? I'm guessing near the kidneys since there are large vessels there that could be tapped into. That's slightly more terrifying to me than carrying an organ sack, but I guess it's important to look good in speedos, too.

I was having a conversation about this over the past weekend. I, and the other person, come from poor countries and now live in a rich one. We think it's important to give back. But sometimes it can feel like a non-trained person trying to save someone who's drowning, and they just drag you down with them. Then it hit me: you can't change someone's life, anymore than you can change someone's mind. The best you can do is be there for them when they are ready to ask for help.

They don’t, but they’ll be able to capitalize on this by opening up their charging infrastructure and also make it so that more and more non Tesla public charging stations will be able to support their customer base.

There is some whitewash in the comments there: "[violentacrez] received the trophy because all the work he did to moderate the site..." as if he got the award for keeping things clean, but consider that he contributed the vast majority of those subreddits' content himself by cruising social media for salacious pictures of minors to share while he was in his 40's, and the award is named "Pimp Daddy."
>sandboxing a program in bubblewrap is pretty easy

It's not easy. Just getting the mounts right is not sufficient. You also need to consider syscalls. E.g. TIOCSTI is permitted by default and allows an easy sandbox escape. See [0]CVE-2017-5226. TIOCLINUX can also allow sandbox escapes.

This can be prevented with the --new-session option, but that breaks interactive terminals, e.g. it causes ctrl-C to restore input to the parent shell while simultaneously running the child shell on the same terminal with the same inputs, which makes it unusable.

The alternative is compiling a seccomp BPF program to filter the syscalls, and loading it with the --seccomp option, but even this is non-trivial, e.g. see [1]CVE-2019-10063. This is also a case of "enumerating badness"; there's no guarantee that other syscalls are not also exploitable.

I don't know how to feel about this. Honestly, I think CCS is a perfectly fine solution that was basically the de-facto standard anyways for many years (everyone was on it except Tesla).

But if swapping to NACS provides consumers and manufacturers less resistance to swapping to electric, that isn't a bad thing.

As long as we have inter-operability that isn't a nightmare, it's fine.

Rather, that it’s severe enough and so far out beyond recorded temperatures that it should be an urgent priority that’s taken extremely seriously.

Claiming this is just panic is devaluing the data and an argument in favour of yet more inaction or slow and ineffective action.

I didn't think of that while reading your article. You should plaster that comment all over this project to help people see the possibilities.
And yet at some complexity level you have things like ARINC 653 where the usual implementation is to have a classic RTOS running on each of the partitions provided by the "application executive", and today's serverland is hypervisors running VMs running containers. I believe we are too centered on the "Linux vs Minix" debate while in actual practice both tendencies are reflected in most systems.
For reference I was already pretty used to gaming in VR on inferior headsets before working on the Vision Pro, so I might be more forgiving of issues than your average person.

I'd say that eye strain wasn't really an issue at all for me. When you take off the headset after a while inside of it you kinda get a jarring transition back to normal vision instead of passthrough, but passthrough doesn't have any noticeable issues when you're inside of it. It's almost like waking up from a dream where stuff feels different and you can't exactly place why.

As for physical weight, it's lighter than other VR headsets I'm used to but obviously more than a pair of ski goggles. I'll echo MKBHD's thoughts that the most noticeable strain was on my nose because my lightseal (like the WWDC demos) wasn't as personalized as the version you'd get as a customer, so I fully expect that to be a non-issue.
