I strongly disagree that only 100% novel uses are meaningful, and I disagree even more that “phone calls anywhere” or “web anywhere” are meaningful — nobody care about phone calls or the web. They care about what those enable: talking to people or doing research or shopping or whatever.

But, sure, fundamentally different: being able to surround yourself with any environment you want. Being able to navigate that environment with physical movement. Seeing a movie that exists in a sphere around you.

You may not want those things, just like my mom could not understand why anyone would want a smartphone, but that does not mean other people get no value.
The AMA is confusing - I don't understand what questions they expect to recieve, and how they'll answer them to anyone's satisfaction.
Apple has (past and present tense) trained its audience to accept the most expensive hardware of any major consumer electronics company.

They did this by delivering consistently on their “coupled with our ecosystem, this is the best one of these you can possibly get” promise.
We did look into emulating the Explorer II processor (Hummingbird) since there was more software available for it than the Explorer but the Hummingbird boot ROM is internal to the IC. We needed a working machine to dump the ROM from, and one wasn't found in time.
There was also the MOVE bombing in '85. And that wasn't even the army - the city PD dropped a bomb from a helicopter.

Why would that leave Apollo dead? If they set the API charges back to zero all third party clients, including Apollo, would be happy to continue.

So because the application can load a URL that can be loaded in any browser, the application should be banned? Time to ban all browsers then I guess...

Besides, Google claimed that the application was collecting email addresses while the app technically couldn't collect email addresses.

If they want to ban something, setup proper rules like "No browsers allowed" and then ban the apps under those rules, instead of trying to hide the real reason for the ban.
Tokenizing is just one very trivial step, and it is probably the simplest and least interesting part of the process. Embedding vectors are dramatically more interesting and actually useful.

There is a mad rush to write articles in the LLM / ML / AI space to show that you haven't been left behind (like a FOMO, but more a FO-looking-like-you-MO). Tokenizers are by far the easiest part of that stack to grok, so the end result are a seemingly infinite selection of tokenization submissions.

That’s exactly my point. A tweet with 237k retweets was thrown out as a evidence that it’s not dead but I’m asking on what basis 237k is a lot or not a lot.
We're building batteries and panels at scale now? When did that start?
Yeah, a lot of this infrastructure was built on a trust-based society so we're having to slowly learn that isn't possible in our current culture and population size. It's sad.
controlled burns are fascinating, especially considering how rooted (hehe) in indigenous culture they are. do you have any formulas for deciding when and how to do so?
It’s a generalization, but it holds true on Internet communities in general that the most dedicated people who want and obtain mod power start out beforehand with less than ideal mental health, which is often a contributing factor as to why they have the enormous amounts of free time to moderate communities for free in the first place.

Obviously there’s exceptions, but it is a really common phenomenon. They found communities or get modded simply because they spend the most time and hang out in the right chats, not because they’re objectively great neutral moderators. They are very frequently people with very strong personalities, and are often in the long-term have a more destructive influence on communities than any short-lived comment troll, especially wrt to the effect on newcomers as they tend to make communities increasingly insular.
I'm not sure what more there is to say. I'm happy that you have created remote processes that work well for your team. I wish we were better at that. My personal experience is still that groups of high-velocity rockstar developers relying on asych coordination can deliver features faster day-to-day but are not as successful year-to-year. I do believe you that it's possible though, and perhaps someday fully-remote competitors with lower salary/office costs will eat our lunch. Perhaps it requires better managers than we have. Still, we ship software our customers love and are extremely financially successful so I have trouble faulting management for continuing to do what has proven successful.

> I've always modeled my team's process on open source development which has successfully produced very high quality "big" software

That's an interesting example and reminds me of an anecdote. At my last company I worked on a very (very) expensive fintech product. We had several competitors including an open source alternative that we were quite nervous about. I wouldn't be surprised if their code quality was higher than ours. But while many customers donated to them, spent a lot of effort integrating them, and talked about them a lot (especially when negotiating contracts) in the end we never lost a customer to the open source alternative.

Don't get me wrong, I love free and open source software and personally use and support several projects. But with a handful of exceptions open source developers seem to be more successful at creating tools for other developers than products for non-technical end-users.
> That's what they were going for.

Perhaps the U.S. pro-gun folks need to advertise more widely that their imagined "victory scenario" is "turn the U.S. into a smoking crater/basket case, which the U.S. Army won't think is worth holding onto"?

Can it truly be shut down? Won’t Reddit just start it back up and let a new team moderate it? This seems similar to when Spotify took over the RapCaviar playlist from the community creator.
Media technology has seen past innovation on by the porn industry. A major VR selling point is entertainment. I say this less as gushing about omg porn. But more that immersion VR video at a human to human perspective changes video entirely. It feels more human. Feels like you aren’t looking at a celeb but a real human being. This will change the way we do TV, Social Media, and a Movies.

I think it's especially scary when most devkits come with it pre-integrated by the manufacturer, but the quality of that integration varied widely. My experience is nearly a decade out of date at this point, but when I was last going Cortex M3 stuff, I found that the integration of TI/Stellaris was excellent, and the integration on STM32 was one landmine after another— and the same held true for the USB stacks, even for stuff that should have been dirt simple like just emulating a serial port.
The question is not whether the parts add up to $3,500 worth of tech, but whether the tech provides $3,500 worth of value to the buyer.
Thanks for your interest! We decided to split the AI system into Thinkers, Actors, and Communicators for several reasons.

Firstly, it makes each part more reliable and easier to maintain. This division allows us to craft specific prompts for each component based on their function and the information they deal with. The segregation also allows for better data management and focused improvement in case of performance issues or potential upgrades.

Secondly, it provides a smooth data flow. The Thinker receives a prompt tied to the user's question and starts gathering relevant data. This data then flows to the Actor, which uses it to respond to the user's query or to execute tasks. For example, if a user says "build an automation to buy the dips for the top 10 stocks by market cap in the US," the Thinker first gathers the top 10 stocks from our screener, then the Actor creates the strategy.

Finally, the Communicator receives the outcomes of the actions from the Actor, and it's responsible for relaying the information back to the user in an easy-to-understand format. It ensures that the actions taken by the AI and the results are transparent and understood by the user.

Regarding the prompts for each agent, they outline the commands each agent can access, as provided by DionysusDSL. We use the inputs to these commands to form a "tree" of possible types the AI might need to use. Then, we build a prompt demonstrating these types, allowing for accurate and context-specific responses. Each agent's prompts differ based on their role and the tasks they need to perform.

Having to ask people be kind about your code on HN is such a shame of reality to me. Half of brilliance is having your working version, used by many people. You had working code that brought reddit to so many reddit users every day that was better than what the official app of reddit provided.

Some of the 'code' running massively profitable departments in finance are spreadsheets, on shared drives, with thousands of linked cells thought up by a brilliant employee who left the company five or six years in the past.

I wish I was kidding.

So, good to experience it, but will probably stop, maybe delete account altogether.

Hope you read rest of thread. I think a few people gave much better answers on the split between different Psychological fields, and why perceptions of the field are skewed.

I do think there is an argument that Psychology (as the study of the mind), can also study how humans respond, and are biased in Psychological studies, and how the people running a study can also be biased, hence the field as a whole can become better at performing studies.

Or another way, by studying why studies aren't replicating, we can also form better models to improve future studies. Basically, examine why measurements are wrong, form a new hypothesis, and measure again, and eventually form what this thread would call 'scientific' findings.

Basically follow the scientific process, and not just get angry that results are not replicating and toss out the whole field. When physics doesn't replicate, they figure out why, there are follow up studies, re-formulations. We don't just cancel all of physics.
Hadn't heard of that before. Any more info about it you can link?
Sure I mean it would be better if the entirety of online transactions was different. Could be vastly improved. That’s not how it is today though.

I'm not saying Google shouldn't police their app store at all, I'm just saying that the current "algo-ban and blackhole" strategy is a losing game for content creators and I'd never get into it.
(This comment references Tesla using the LGPL version of Qt in their cars at no cost. Lots of automotive projects use Qt but generally the commercial variant.)
I on the other hand started my "programming life" with C++ (because I was interested in a project written in C++) then I went to C# semi-professionally, if I was doing web it'd be with TS because of the tooling, also types help me organize my brain, and the escape hatch into YOLO land is very low in TS considering it's compiled into JS mostly, so the typesystem allows for "any" and such while still restricting things that aren't prototypes anymore.

Both C# and TS come "from the same author", so that might influence me a bit.
Amen to that.

When I first started coding (some 15 years ago) I wrote the ugliest, buggiest and "owasp-ridden-est" PHP spaghetti code. Turns out that code went viral and was used by millions of users for a few years.

Yet, I came to the conclusion that that's the best code I've ever written, for it's been the most used code I released so far.

Real software development is far different than the ideal one.

Very little once. But I've been around people who do regularly. And I agree they make you accept non rational thoughts, problem is, what exactly you accept. I've seen examples where people accepted quite bad things because of various drugs.
Any icelanders on HN? I wonder if there is a startup community there.
The Quest 3 has passthrough mode for "mixed reality" similar to Apple Vision Pro, albeit Apple's hardware has way higher resolution.
The problem with Qt Company is not that they are comical villains who do everything they can to thwart open source. The problem with the Qt Company is that they intentionally try to confuse users about what they can and cannot do with LGPL software, gate their SDKs and binaries behind accounts, seemingly tried to break off the KDE Free Qt agreement in unfavorable terms (and this action has led to Qt 5 being maintained mostly by KDE in practice), and generally have pushed Qt in directions that I and many others don't really like. I do understand that it's not literally just to cause harm or out of greed. I'm sure that making a standalone business out of what Qt is, is quite challenging. I remember the many transitions since Qt was acquired by Nokia and split off into Digia. I remember their attempt at the "cloud" with Engine.io. But the thing is, at some point it just needs to be said: it kind of sucks. Qt Widgets was truly amazing in the late Qt 4.x days. Now? It's at best marginally improved from those days, and at worst, much buggier and kludgier than it used to be.

I want to like Qt, but it's difficult. From a pragmatic standpoint, it's just so damn buggy, and rather important issues can take a long time to see any progress. It bums me out that today, QDockWidget is still unusable on Wayland, right now, in the latest Qt 6 release version. Not "ugly" or "janky", but as in, it literally does not work, you can't redock widgets in most cases. Is it because they literally don't care? Nope; in fact, they merged in the fix just five days ago. It does depend on protocol support for fluid animations, but the general concept would've worked from the get-go. But I dunno, it just seems like the priority is and has been quite low for these rather basic usability issues and bugs.

Qt has always been rather buggy and I'd consider it to have been good despite that, but the argument definitely gets harder over time. I think today the only thing I can say is that it's far more mature and full-featured than most other toolkits that are open source, but that's not exactly something to brag about either.

Today if I use Qt I don't bother with the official SDK on any platform, as it's not really worth it. Like, what, do I need to pipe my Qt account credentials into CI? No thanks, I'll build it myself.
With AI having more employees no longer matters (unless they can train AI systems).
Some of the games are good. It’s a little surprising how immersive the primitive current devices are. My kids do the psvr pretty heavily for a weekend and then leave it for weeks without touching it. I think it’s the interface that is wonky but that will get better.

Immersive is the key here. There are entertainment things where I think that could be killer, maybe seeing a concert from impossible to get vantage points, maybe viewing the nfl game from on the field, maybe some movies and some games. Do I want to be immersed in work? I’ll write code and you know what I do at times? I go outside for a walk, my quality goes up and the problems get solved. Same thing doing data analysis, I’ll find some interesting bits and then I need to think, maybe I could have more ‘screen real estate” in VR but I don’t know if I want it, need it, or could actually use it.

There is something about production to consider too. There are things in the nfl games that you don’t see, maybe some people want to, I’m pretty sure a lot don’t want to. “Taking some football outa guys” is a thing. Someone on another thread mentioned climbing Everest; you never do that for the views, people actually die doing it and then others just sort of pass by their dead bodies because the quest they are on is so so very different than seeing the world from the top of Everest. Maybe that’s the point, but it’s not for everyone.

I know you're looking for feedback on the API, but do you have a SPAIK language reference?

The API matters little to me if I'm not interested in the SPAIK language in the first place.
I've seen a lot of both: there are some power-tripping selective-enforcement bully types in those volunteer moderator roles, on Reddit or Facebook or Discord or wherever, and then there are the moderators that try to act with integrity and tend to get burnt out by insufferable agitators and the general lack of respect from the crowd they moderate. I also don't get the sense they're wholly separate groups.
> All platforms go through this cycle, but Reddit felt special to me and it hurts to find that wasn't true.

This is not always true and there’s an important correction to this: all VC-funded platforms go through this, especially monetized by ads.

There are examples of privately owned platforms with subscriptions that are doing great and show no sign of quality decline. Telegram most notably being one of those.

This chase for constant high returns and also the focus on an audience very ortogonal to your actual users (ads buyers) are what seriously misaligns the incentives of users and platform owners.
Why is nearly every comment here downplaying this? I don’t know if this is great cinema but it’s definitely original and a stunning achievement. It’s like climbing a mountain or running a marathon: the difficulty is the point.

If only my director has time to follow up our periodic, weekly 1:1 meetings. It is on my calendar, every Monday at 10:00 AM but I haven't had one in may be 3 months with an exceptional, ad-hoc touch base chat out of this scheduled time slot once every blue moon.
Although, I am with the original poster of this question. I've been in IT trenches for longer than 30 years now and I really do not need to "touch base" with my supervisor. Just let me know what is needed and when it is needed, I will get it done. If I run into a administrative block, I know where my director lives and can reach out to him asking help to remove the mostly corporate politics induced blockade.

It’s ‘underdocumented’, but you don’t have to do that to remove those.

If you search for “Customize the header used for new files” in Xcode’s help, you can find:

Change the text used for the header of a new file by setting the value of the FILEHEADER text macro.

Most of the templates start with

//___FILEHEADER___

, so you can’t remove the initial “//“, but you can remove the rest.

Changing the value of the macro can be done by creating or editing a .plist file:

Text macros are symbols that are expanded in-place to the specified text. They are used in files and other places in Xcode, such as the header text for a new file or the project name. You can customize existing macros and add your own macros in a project, for all users of a project, or for all of Xcode. Customizing a macro requires two things:

- A plist named IDETemplateMacros.plist at an appropriate location.

- An entry in IDETemplateMacros.plist for the text macro.

Xcode looks for the value of a text macro in the following locations and uses the first matching macro:

Project user data: <ProjectName>.xcodeproj/xcuserdata/[username].xcuserdatad/IDETemplateMacros.plist.

Project shared data: <ProjectName>.xcodeproj/xcshareddata/IDETemplateMacros.plist

Workspace user data: <WorkspaceName>.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/[username].xcuserdatad/IDETemplateMacros.plist.

Workspace shared data: <WorkspaceName>.xcworkspace/xcshareddata/IDETemplateMacros.plist.

User Xcode data: ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/IDETemplateMacros.plist.
