Well, touchscreens are generally smaller than laptop screens, and a lot of productivity requires a keyboard.

But the screens on Vision Pro are larger, and it works great with a keyboard.

So anything that requires larger/more screens seems like it might be more productive than a laptop.
As someone who knows nothing about either side (and I assume many other readers are in the same boat), can you explain why it's reductionist? Genuinely curious about both sides.
At their paygrade?

Looking at Meta/Google/Apple's layoff packages of 6 months of severance, and factoring in $170k-$389k annual income at Reddit (per levels.fyi), I would hope they have enough savings to live off of for months if not years, to enable thtem to protest, should they so desire.

It doesn't even work on mobile.
The pinnacle of psychopathy.
Going by the hardware and the announced features, the 2D app functionality of the Vision Pro is basically an iPad Pro with full multitasking support.
How old are you? Because I feel like Gen Z makes jokes about “Reddit guys” and “Discord mods” but they all absolutely do use those platforms. They’re basically unavoidable.

I’ve seen more than one tiktok with 100k+ likes joking about how they add “reddit.com” to their Google search queries to get real results instead of SEO/sales funnel optimized shit

Apple miniaturized a laptop + MacBook into a visor
I don't think apple really likes guns, so it would probably have to be third party, but a training pistol with a real belt-mounted holster and an AR upper and lower without the FCG or barrel, both with some tracking markers the Apple goggles can pick up would probably work well. Shooting a rifle with VR controllers does not really work that well, because you can't brace them at all (because the two standard controllers are not attached) and there is no stock. Fix that with a hundred dollars of airsoft knockoff AR-15 parts.
Sorry just seeing this, HN of course isn’t designed for back and forth discussion. I used the phrase intentionally because looking at the developer’s side of what happened, my takeaway is that while yes it would cost a lot to continue operating, out of the many options available to them they chose to just shut down. That’s “taking their ball and going home” in my opinion. Of course they’re free to do so, but it was far from the only option to take and they’re basically leaving a lot of Apollo fans in a lurch because they didn’t feel like putting in the effort to make a workable solution. Reddit also handled the rollout of fees poorly. All this is of course just my opinion and I don’t expect everyone to agree.

Although I actually (and REALLY) hope you are right, I think a purely non-profit alternative would be doomed to fail. And my argument for this is pretty simple: How often do non-profits out-compete for-profits? Sometimes, maybe, but rarely.
From the Wikipedia article on the subject, I think one line sums it up best:

"One former physician to the president described the White House unit as an urgent care center with a crash cart."

So basic medical facilities, plus some extras to deal with trauma and sudden arrest.

I don't find this explanation very satisfying. Now Tesla's competitors will have the same access to the charging network, leveling the playing field in that regard. I wonder if this was mostly about not wanting to look like a jerk.
Here's a short demo of a pretty good voice to text interface that's available for free: https://twitter.com/lunixbochs/status/1378159234861264896

I had to use it for a while when I was unable to touch a keyboard or mouse while recovering from RSI and I was surprised by how quickly I was able to get to about 80% of my previous productivity using just my voice. I still use it sometimes even though my RSI is fully healed.
Slowly.

Or don't.

It's not a general prohibition but what message does it send? "You can't strike because we'll just force you back because we care more about your bosses and Americans getting their cheap shit from China for Christmas presents than we do about you" seems to be the message.
>It got to the point where Apple reversed its decision.

Nice?

HN users tend to use more Apple and Linux. If Microsoft gets more of a pass my guess is it's because no one expects anything from them. The opinion of many HN users about Windows and Edge is already very low.
That is completely unrelated news about Tesla agreeing to use the actual standard (CCS) in their chargers to get federal funds. This news is about Tesla working Ford and GM to try to kill CCS. They're opposite pieces of news.
I looked into this, more as a curiosity. The thing that killed it for me is the battery life. Unless your usage is already very low, I expect you'd end up charging it more than once a day which for me was prohibitive.
> If all those websites are using Flask, that would be the equivalent of centralising on Flask

I agree on the equivalence between this and Cloudflare use, but not that this should be described as centralisation, which is a particularly potent word on the open web. Popularity isn't the same as centralisation. Each website could rewrite to remove Flask if they wanted.

Another example: if lots of people watch Squid Game, that doesn't indicate a centralisation of television programmes. No options are removed. People are just choosing to do a similar thing, but not in a way that centralises anything.
What are some of the games you're having trouble with?

You could try Steam's Proton, which is based on Wine but has a lot more compatibility work done on top. You might even find your games in https://www.protondb.com/ to see if someone else has tried them first.
My personal guess is it's down on purpose so they can say only 5% of subs who said they would go dark actually did, we just happened to have a service outage that day so they can push their own narrative t investors. Spez doesn't care anymore, he's focused on that IPO payday and to tell with everyone else. He's a liability to the company now, but the board isn't acting.
Do you mean the website uglification around when they launched "Dropbox Paper" or whatever that thing was called, or the earlier redesign towards toy-like appearance, that happened around the time they also dropped the Public folder? Because that last bit - dropping the Public folder - was when Dropbox lost a good chunk of its value to end users.
I'm with you mostly....

But this is fluids, we don't have science to know how it will actually perform.

Gosh, I'm so afraid of problems with fluids.

>Long term effects are not known, causing cancer air.
The promotional video on Apple's site shows a user picking up and using a PS5 controller. iPhones and iPads can pair with third-party controllers today as well as keyboards and mice, so there's really no reason to think that this wouldn't work with those as well, particularly since Apple showed it happening in their video.
Well, the rendering engine is open source.

Those are metaphors. Hard, but brittle like over heat-treated steel might be a better metaphor. US makes it workers work very hard, but it will explode if too many workers will refuse to put up with the pressure.
The main concern for me is that this may very well allow Tesla to gatekeep the entire NA EV/EVSE market, since they still control the patents around NACS, and their pledge has carve-outs allows them to exclude pretty much every major player for one reason or another.

(I am also assuming that adapters well be relatively available in the 2+ years til implementation, so the CCS2-equiped fleet isn't left out in the cold)

If they were willing to release it under an OSHW license with a non-revocable patent grant, I'd be fine with it. I agree that Tesla superchargers do tend to provide a better UX than their competition, some of that is vertical synergy, but a good portion of it is the competition just not being up to snuff.
Wouldn't that potentially also exclude "obscene" things such as nudity? Or things like flag burning, or provocative art?
Congratulations on the project @anmonteiro90. Reading the thread makes me understand more about the situation of Rescript and ReasonML after the split. It’s totally makes sense now. I hope to pick up some OCaml project soon

Even beyond the aesthetic problem with the cities being car centric by default is the lack of realistic parking issues. I don't know about mods and DLC but in the original you can get by with designs that would be totally unreasonable in reality because they would require massive underground parking to look how they do.
This seems more than a little likely, as Vision Pro has an M2 chip for processing, and the R1 for vision processing. If your work needs a fully-capable GPU, that's probably a different story, although most graphics work (like photo editing/video editing) should run well on the M2.
Semi-frequently, I see outages that go unreported on the status page. They used to have error rate and backlog depth graphs on their status page too so it was obvious (in a good, transparent way) when they were having issues even if a human hadn't (yet) updated the status page, but those graphs were removed.
I'm finding their examples hilarious, especially considering one of them is Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, in which the Oompa Loompas were originally African pygmies.
I had a relatively recent Corolla. I put some leather seat covers and floor liners in it and it was nice.
It sure helps with incentive alignment, but I agree, we should also be demanding laws which ensure at minimum transparency, and ideally regulation, of how individualized data is collected, stored, bought, and sold, while collectively refusing to operate with companies that insist on viewing their customers as just another resource to be mined.
You could use M-DISCs, which look like traditional CDs nut are made for long-term storage and should be readable much longer than other CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays. The optical drives for burning M-DISCs are readily available and not very expensive.
Makes it grease and water proof... Paper is not really that great option without those.
I've heard from someone with a security clearance the DoD doesn't have an established and approved protocol for destruction, so in the meantime the drives are simply warehoused.
They did show off using a standard PlayStation controller but nothing like an Oculus Quest or Index Give VR controller. While a PlayStation would be fine for something like Tetris Effect, for titles that get more out VR it does seem like it could be a problem.

This is my guess. Looks better on the record, since people are committing only 48 hours anyways (for whatever reason, should be permanent).
A crucial consideration for parody is that you can't choose something else. You are parodying this particular thing, so any substitute wouldn't work, and that's why we have a right to make parodies - without such rights your work can't exist at all because you'd need the people you're poking fun at to allow it.

The example I like (even though Weird Al seeks permission and so doesn't need his fair use rights) is Weird Al's "Smells Like Nirvana" versus "Fat".

Smells Like Nirvana is necessarily about Smells Like Teen Spirit and Nirvana's video for that song. It has lyrics like "We're so loud and incoherent / Boy this oughta bug your parents". If you make that song using Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" as the basic structure, now it's just nonsense. I believe the parody exception would apply to "Smells Like Nirvana".

"Fat" isn't about Bad or Michael Jackson. Jackson wasn't fat, the character he's portraying isn't fat, the song isn't about food, there's no connection. It's just funny lyrics to the same structure. If you do this to Bon Jovi's "Living' On a Prayer" that's funny too, a few people have done so, "Standin' On a Chair" for example. If you did that and get wealthy, expect Bon Jovi's label to demand most of it, parody rules don't help you.

With the T-shirt that says "Poodle" like a Google logo, you don't need their style. You could use the Ford logo, or the McDonalds logo, or a dozen others, doubtless you'd say you wanted a double-O - does Moodle (a VLE) have a logo? I bet they do. If you wanted Google's logo 'cos it's recognisable that is not a protected reason.

As I understand it this Supreme Court decision was pretty narrow, and doesn't get into the parody question anyway.
>In the real world with thriving economies, there will be smaller, underdog players already operating. Maybe they are regional, or maybe they have a slower/smaller fleet.

Yes. I use them every day. I send million of dollars of aerospace equipment to and fro every year using 3PL, none of which are UPS or FedEx or the USPS.

There are thousands of 3PL firms, each competing with each other.

If you search "full truck" and/or "intermodal" and "logistics" I guarangoddamntee there are a dozen within 50 miles of your zip code.

> They just need to raise capital to expand rapidly.

LOL

If my preferred smaller logistics firm (Polaris) was given eleventy-billion hexaseptillion dollars it would take two years at a minimum just to lease the aircraft, airport slots, and facilities needed to compete with a single-digit percentage of UPS's network.

Again, the fact that people think that smaller underdog competitors to UPS don't exist is a glaring, supermassive-black-hole-sized blind spot that pseudo-capitalists have.

Ask HN: Incremental View Maintenance for SQLite?
The short ask: Anyone know of any projects that bring incremental view maintenance to SQLite?

The why:

Applications are usually read heavy. It is a sad state of affairs that, for these kinds of apps, we don't put more work on the write path to allow reads to benefit.

Would the whole No-SQL movement ever even have been a thing if relational databases had great support for materialized views that updated incrementally? I'd like to think not.

And more context:

I'm working to push the state of "functional relational programming" [1], [2] further forward. Materialized views with incremental updates are key to this. Bringing them to SQLite so they can be leveraged one the frontend would solve this whole quagmire of "state management libraries." I've been solving the data-sync problem in SQLite (https://vlcn.io/) and this piece is one of the next logical steps.

If nobody knows of an existing solution, would love to collaborate with someone on creating it.

You're welcome - it was a blast.
I did not like Berlusconi. But I find Guardian’s approach for such a title on someone who just died a bit distasteful.
> For example, I believe many SSDs will simply mark a block as "unused" rather than physically rewriting the data in that block. When the block gets used again, you simply set it to the new values.

Most SSDs (everything that follows the OPAL standard) actually encrypt all data all the time, and support a "secure erase" mode that destroys the encryption key from the TPM and renders the data inert. Copy the flash chips to your heart's content, if you believe the premise of encryption then it'll be a couple million years before you have any chance of cracking the key.

There's no reason this can't also be used on hard drives - or via a higher-level solution like Bitlocker. Again, if you believe in the idea of Bitlocker, then if you lose (or destroy) the key the data is unusable, that's the entire sales pitch of Bitlocker. Drive data is completely inaccessible if removed from their PC and the TPM it contains, and people don't like this because Windows 11 is turning this on by default now.

Physically crushing a drive is needless and wasteful unless you fundamentally disagree that cryptography exists and can work. And it also completely eliminates the possibility that your e-waste vendor is screwing you around behind your back. Fine, have a bunch of white-noise data if you like.

The problem is that businesses like to reduce a 1-in-a-trillion chance to zero, and they're punished if something does happen. And I'm sure hard drive companies like the extra sales and probably nudge them into it too. But it's overall a market failure and a needless e-waste stream, of the kind that the EU does like to eliminate.
Reminds me of how sweet champagne used to be [1]:

> The most common style today is Brut [(6 to 12 grams of sugar per litre)]. However, throughout the 19th century and into the early 20th century Champagne was generally much sweeter than it is today. Moreover, except in Britain, Champagne was drunk as dessert wines (after the meal), rather than as table wines (with the meal).[55] At this time, Champagne sweetness was instead referred to by destination country, roughly as:[56]

> - Goût anglais ("English taste", between 22 and 66 grams); note that today goût anglais refers to aged vintage Champagne

> - Goût américain ("American taste", between 110 and 165 grams)

> - Goût français ("French taste", between 165 and 200 grams)

> - Goût russe ("Russian taste", between 200 and 300 grams)

By way of comparison, my favourite Orange Muscat dessert wine has 110 g/l sugar [2], a bog-standard ruby port has 102 g/l [3], my favourite sweet-ish sherry has a svelte 50 g/l [4], and a decent PX has an excruciating 417 g/l [5]. So Americans and the French alike used to drink champagne that was considerably sweeter than today's fortified and dessert wines!

I've thought about this in the work I've done on Haven[1]. Today Haven is just self-hosted linear posting like a blog, but private and tied together with RSS. I've got ambitions of adding media/restaurant/service recommendations where you can post your recommendations and they can be separately searched/aggregated, probably even keeping RSS as the protocol. This gives you a Yelp that can't be gamed by companies because there is no central place for a company to go to game /manage the recommendations.

Given how glacially many companies move, especially small-med companies outside of tech hotspots, they would probably rather fire OP than add a cell phone reimbursement plan to their pay.
They don't necessarily have to rolled out as part of the same release process. You can still decouple them without giving up them being version controlled which to me is also preferable over just toggling things through a gui.

Having a release process for flags also allows you to run integration tests with those flags, canary alerting and automated rollbacks.
Midi 1.0 is still in active, since they didn't change the protocol until 2.0

It's hard to see what you want: You can't be complaining about lack of physical interfaces not present on your hardware (the additional specs for Midi over USB, RTPMidi, TRS plugs and the 3.3v 5pin din) so are you sad that your drum machine doesn't play bagpipes when you switch to program #110 (General Midi) or that a Juno 106 doesn't magically add reverb when you crank up controller #91 (the suggestions for CC mappings) or perhaps you are trying to send samples to a Yamaha DX7 using the DLS standard?

You are not really missing out though. I.e. you can still use the broil setting on your toaster oven even if your microwave doesn't support that. no-one is forcing you to use the lowest common denominator on every device.
Escape from Silicon Valley (alternative visions of computation)
I didn't say non-academic, I explicitly said "crazy people".

The lab theory will be taken seriously when there will be serious evidences. If they exist they will come out. Believing in conspiracies because enough people believe in them without any actual, tangible, verifiable evidence is worrying.

The option "intensive farming+poverty+open market full of crap+random bats, all in extremely unsanitary conditions" seems a way better theory, needing way less evidence (also hard to acquire in this case), if you compare it to the random lab doing experiments full of incompetent researchers.
My take on it is that "well presented doomers"[0], if you will, serve to balance the "well presented optimists"[1] in that they are needed in society so we can have some take on how things could actually go wrong and sound warnings for potentially catastrophic failures. Its important though, that I think it needs moderating, like not everything "Doomers" say needs to be taken at face value, its important that others can come up and really either shore up their case or make a case for different more likely outcomes, for instance. I feel the same way about overly optimistic takes as well.

They serve an important function in society to keep us aware of just how fragile things can be and that we need to be vigilant about understanding the second order affects of our actions as a society.

[0]: Ones that generally rely on nonpartisan facts / science / evidence for making their claims, without resorting to debunked information to further their claims and/or not relying on conspiracy theories, for instance.
