Good advice, though in the end ot still boils down to "accept yourself", which is the kind of advice she said she found unhelpful at the beginning... I think this is kind of a "Monad tutorial situation", were the important part is not the words, but the intuitive understanding... And once one finally achieved some intuitive understanding, one wants to help the world and spread it, without realizing that the only way is to use the words one found unhelpful for so long... But sometimes the 101st reformulation is what makes someone's understanding make "click", so why not.

Anyways, this is not a critic to the author as such, just a recognition of the phenomenon. I am actually tempted to bring in my own words there, in case my particular reformulation can help someone. I am familiar with the kind of "vision" (for the lack of a better term) the author describes, and they can be extremely healing. However, I think it is a mistake to overinterpret those: oh, ok, this village is actually the set of my personality traits, and I need to show them love to integrate them and blabla... I mean, it can be a valid interpretation, but in my experience it is not useful. Much better is to develop a sense of what feels useful in the moment, and let the image develop on its own agenda. It feels like it would fit to kneel and ask for foregiveness? Try it. Or maybe what feels good it to let the Smurf Army crawl under your skin and break you to pieces. Let it happen. But most often than not, trying too hard to interpret what is happening (or worse, what is "right" or "wrong") according to some theory just gets in the way.

Good luck to all.
At least it wasn't spend on drugs and women.
> Apple never said they won't track you. Apple specifically says they collect this data[1]:

Indeed. Apple's concerns are about "third-party" tracking, e.g. multiple parties sharing information about you and building a persona without your awareness or consent.

They fully _expect_ users to build first-party relationships, such as having Apple understand, save, and perhaps provide insights or fraud detection around the transaction log of your usage of your Apple Card.

This is why Google's reaction to App Tracking Transparency was to effectively say "we'll be fine, we have lots of services, and we might push people to log in for features." This is also why Facebook's reaction was to freak out - because they had no legitimate relationships on which to base their web surveillance advertising product on, especially when it was being used to select advertisements for non-Facebook-users.

For first party relationships, the App Store has "privacy labels", to document the data you collect, save and share with processors. Behavioral information is around sharing correlating factors that would be used for third-party tracking.

When in trouble, use nightly version (release is not frequent)
Reddit has a sea of moderators who quietly moderate hobby subreddits that they're interested in, and then a small number of power moderators who moderate hundreds of subreddits each (and who have coordinated these blackouts). These powermods spend most of their time on metadrama and have little concern over the quality of their subreddits. I think Reddit should absolutely be stripping away control from these powermods.
Transsexuals and furries... So these are the best use cases for VR after all these years? Really?
The core issue that you can't escape is that Scheme creates a lot of ambiguity between data and code, since both use the same syntax. There is nothing wrong with using plain s-expressions for data, quite the opposite, I find them quite nice to look at, no need for keywords here:

(person
(firstName "John")
(lastName "Smith")
(isAlive t)
(age 27)
(address
(streetAdddress "21 2nd Street")
(city "New York")
(state "NY")
(postalCode "10021-3100")
)
)

But that's not something you can put in a Scheme file directly, you have to quote it and then you have to use quasiquotes, macros or other hacks to get parts of that data structure executable. It's also not even the proper way to do a name/value pairs in Scheme, which would be the alist of the form ((name . value) ...).

In Nix you do not have any of those ambiguities {} is a set, [] is a list, 5+5 is an expression, a = 5; is an assignment. And you can freely mix them without all that quoting, so it's { a = 5 + 5; }, not `((a . ,(+ 5 5))) or (list (cons 'a (+ 5 5)))

Yes, that's why before WHF, people really loved meetings and brainstorm sessions at work /s

In person during brainstorm discussion usually means endless time-wasting and bikeshedding.

The first iPhone was released June 2007. The iPhone X was released by 2017. By then smart phones were ubiquitous. And it only took 4? Maybe 5 years? We’re still looking for a good use case for VR … and it’s not Second Life: Facebook Edition, or games (yet).

Main instance (lemmy.ml) has quite heavy political censorship though. It’s not obvious or visible, and including under anti racism rules. Criticising non western countries leads to calls of orientalist and bans [0].

Also without a business model they will struggle to maintain the servers required for even a tiny fraction of Reddit

I know about the graph theory but it has many kinds of graphs. E.g. "directed acyclic graph" to name one. I don't yet know the actual Graph Theory do I don't know all the kinds and their names. So what I am asking about is what specific kind this graph is?
It appears to have broken after only a small number of switch changes. My guess is the radio'd commands are an incorrect sequence which operates the meter in an incorrect sequence. E.g.

1. Disconnect circuit 1
2. Connect circuit 2

Bypass step 1 by only sending 2 and bad things happen.
> If you don’t like the way a subreddit is run then you can make another one, and if you are sufficiently better then people will switch

That's much easier said than done - say you don't like the moderation or content of /r/gaming, how are you going to spread the word about your new subreddit? It won't have as good a name as /r/gaming, it's not a default sub so it's more difficult to find, and you might find that mentions of your subreddit make it onto a powermod blacklist, ensuring you can't even link to it from other subreddits.

How can Reddit have the concept of default subreddits yet allow them to be run by random, unvetted people? For me being default includes some kind of guarantee of quality and approval by Reddit, yet most of these default subreddits are going dark!
6.0.4 released at 2021-04-22, 6.1 released at 2021-04-27. Where's 6.0.5 and so on? It's not released. Debian supports its releases for 5 years, not for 5 days.
The security of billions and billions of devices (e.g. industrial control systems, PLCs,[0] SCADA,[1] ERTs,[2] etc.) that are responsible for controlling and monitoring virtually every aspect of modern life (e.g. power grid, water purification, natural gas transmission, oil and gas extraction, vehicle traffic control, rail signalling, pharmaceutical manufacturing, etc.) is appalling.

The manufactures and integrators of these devices are just now beginning to realize that the internet exists and that their devices aren't always connected to perfectly isolated RS-485[2] networks or connected to a network at all. They commonly contain hard coded passwords, passwords with staggeringly limited length and complexity, plain text authentication, default passwords, and other backdoors. Working with such devices is like taking a Delorean back to the early 90s, the eighties, or even earlier... it's the wild west.

It pleases me beyond words that hacking contests like Pwn2Own[4] have begun to include these systems in their competitions. This is a massively important area of security research that has historically been ignored.

I mean something else. An application firewall is something like opensnitch where you can block processes from communicating with specific external domains/ips.
Excuse me, but how much time people have been developing the technology that powers ChatGPT. How much time and money has Google spent to create Transformers?
How much time has been spent developing neural networks or CUDA devices.

How much money has ChatGPT invested? Billions.

GPT1 is from 2018, but neural networks have more than 70 years now. VR have more than 30 years since the early prototypes.
1) I'd definitely recommend Python over both Ruby and JS because Python has again become highly relevant (much more so than Ruby), and it's a language that actually complains when you do something nonsensical, like dividing by zero or asking for a non-existing list element; JS fails silently in these cases, making it in the end more difficult to write correct code. I'd still put JS second because of its key role in web browsers. JS is a language you hardly can avoid so go learn it to a degree.

I'd add SQL to that list and tell people not to wait too long before taking it up along with relational databases. PostgreSQL and SQLite are good for getting acquainted with the relational model, the fundamentals of which are only mysterious as long as you are not shown (or discover yourself) how simple and basic (and important) they really are.

3) Yes, yes, and yes.

DeepMind AI's new way to sort objects could speed up global computing
I watched a representation of an mining industry insider ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgOEGKDVvsg ) some months ago who makes the point that all these projections are completely unrealistic because of mining constraints. He says/shows that you need an order of magnitude (I think) more ore of many elements and this is impossible because:

1) The Mining industry is incredible mature and there are no easy disruptive technologies on the horizon.

2) Even if there was the will to do it, new capacities take at least ten years to go live and he does not even see any relevant increased investment in the sector, never mind concrete projects.
Apply these kind of comments to Facebook VR or Google Glass.

Everybody is just grasping the "but it's Apple!" straw.
There's a little bit of insight from lean manufacturing related to this. Manufacturer plant managers tend to shoot for production loads around 85-90%. Anything higher just means stuff starts piling up, which causes delays and is actually bad for business. Anything over 100% means work isn't getting done.

Sounds familiar? That explains every software project that went over time and budget ever. You can apply the same logic to product management. If you are planning for more work to be done than can be done, you are wasting time and money. Ask for less; you'll get more better and sooner. Applying Brooke's law to this means that adding people to the team won't address this even.

I regularly see companies make both mistakes and then they fail to deliver, everybody is stressed out, and the team under performs. It doesn't work. Prioritize work correctly and make sure everybody focuses on only the top priorities. It doesn't matter if you are using scrum, kanban, or waterfall. Just make sure your team is working on the smallest number of things at any time possible without any of them having to idle or wait.

I'm a big fan of Don Reinertsen's work on lean 2.0 where he talks about this and more and uses some sound economical reasoning to back all this up.
You can't blame the corporations, if they wouldn't have moved the manufacturing while the competition did, they wouldn't have been able to compete on price, and consumers would have bought the cheaper options.

I do wonder, if you are in Europe, you would have a claim for violation of artists' "moral rights"?*. One of those legal rights is to be published under a pseudonym or anonymously.

That is a very US perspective. Nokia absolutely dominated the European market up to the 2010s.
Author here. Thanks for all the great and different insights and experiences. Especially also about 'feeling being listened to'.

To be fair, I was a bit short in my description: I do have a great relationship with my manager and he is one of the best managers I ever had. Also, I am not a developer, but a product manager, so already used to steering the 'ship'. We are in a relatively small team of 6 and we are all sitting together (including manager).
There are different kinds of investors involved in an IPO process.

The investors that have pre-IPO stock and who are looking to sell as quickly as possible, gain from IPO pops, so it's in their best interest to maximize short-term profits. That group of investors include a lot of the existing investors, and in almost all cases the founders and C-suite of the company.
It definitely won't be more resilient, that's silly. In no way will a weather based energy system be more resilient than one based on dispatchable energy sources. The best you can hope for is it to be only slightly less reliable. You can never be completely sure you've built enough storage in a certain area since you're relying on historical/statistical phenomenon like weather. And since you'll need a lot more transmission lines to move the energy from your turbines and panels to where people actually live, you're more exposed to failures along those corridors.
The issue is usually that you only get the sequential number (which is the highest), and you will realistically never get that speed since you would need to only read/write a single large file at a time (like an NVR is one of the few applications where that's true). To complicate it further the number reported is with DRAM cache unsaturated, if you actually sustain that write speed for a longer period it will also slow down to less than 1/3 iirc.
> Sure, but the actual current use case doesn't matter. Once the capabilities, price and user experience improve, it will become more appealing to a mass audience.

I'm not the poster you're replying to, but I think you've missed their point here.

Market penetration of mobile phones was (initially) driven by the advantages they provided as a work tool. This growing market that was willing to pay helped drive the cost vs. utility down to the point where non-business use cases became viable.

Goggles with screens in them have had a very different history. There are exceedingly few people/careers who have gotten a good ROI from buying and using a headset, so most sales are driven by entertainment (and a small number of enthusiasts).

Apple (and Meta) can definitely continue to subsidize the development of this technology to bring the price down, but expanding from a niche market for entertainment devices to a market of professional tools is the opposite of what's worked for new technologies in the past.
I have used several VR devices. Never had a problem with dry eyes.

>why is no one talking about that?

Because it is not an issue for most people?
The key for me will be if it can meet it's core proposition of making a virtual world as good as the real one.

At a basic level of I'd be willing to binge netflix on it rather than a TV. That would be the start.

What if I preferred it to going to the cinema? Already a win.

What if it can make it feel like you're having lunch in a restaurant? Perfect.

It doesn't really do any of these things. More like having wallpaper of a photograph of a restaurant
Companies with a school-like atmosphere treating their employees...like school children? Perhaps the culture and hiring/recruitment practices optimize for lack of trust.

"They only gave consumers what they wanted"

reasons why HN doesn't work as a reddit replacement:

- It has no subforums

- Almost everyone here is in IT, other topics only get discussed when they are interesting to IT people. On reddit, you can talk to historians, mathematicians, language enthusiasts, fans of your favourite series, etc.

- HN usability on mobile is... yeah

- HN is text only, that's already difficult for programming, but would make talking about e.g. mathematics really annoying, and for people who want to share art, that's even more obviously not going to work

- also, I really wish you could block users
I have a hunch that the sort of mental incapacity that comes on with higher CO2 levels lends itself to group-think, so it's a combinatorial problem. I think you'd still get the same problems outside, I just think they're more pronounced in a stuffy meeting room.

That's why I always believe Google's Glasses and their vision were way ahead of their time - they were not strapping a big device to your head like all these other ones. Unfortunately, for legal and whatever reasons it didn't take off. But as a person who already wears prescription glasses I'd have definitely wanted to wear that instead.
My daily beater here in Stockholm is a fixed gear bike with a common chain, clean the chain and slap some all-weather chain oil on it every 3-6 months and it's good to go. During mid-fall/winters I swap to my wheels with gravel tyres for better traction.

There's no need to go for a belt-drive just for weatherproofing sake, a good chain oil is enough to keep your chain going pretty well.

I bike around 8-10k km per year on this bike for the past 7-8 years, mostly just doing the basics of maintenance: change brake cables and tubing, change brake pads, clean and oil the chain. The only times I needed to do more than that was after forgetting the bike outside when a snowstorm came, that can fuck you up: tyres cracking, chain rusting quickly, don't recommend it.
The green hydrogen stuff is happening, (like hydrogen pipelines across the Mediterranean) but it's not really a competitor to batteries, but a complement.

The primary use will be chemical and industrial and a demand sink for renewable power, then any use as electricity peak fuel source will be a bonus rather than the main purpose.
In at least one real life example I have personal insight into: yes. They hired tons of devs to make the company look bigger and look like they were aiming for continued quick growth post IPO. Reality was that they did not have enough tasks for all people they had quickly hired.
She's certainly heard of Nokia phones, the majority of which (in later years) ran Symbian.
Reporting a conversion rate is not the same as reporting that _you_ as a particular user converted.

For advertising to remain a viable way to support portions of the web, advertisers need to understand the effectiveness of their programs and marketplaces need to understand the exposure.

Specifications like PCM are competing mostly around how to provide that, although there are also efforts to sandbox local personas to make ad presentation decisions on-device. Personally I'm not so much against those efforts, as it doesn't seem like a betrayal for my web browser to try to select information it thinks I'd more likely care about - as long as I can also choose how/if it does so.
I think Lemmy could serve as a replacement, adding true ownership for the communities as a nice bonus.
I've been tentatively looking at Lemmy, obviously nowhere near the activity of Reddit but it's not a ghost town either and the Fediverse aspect is a big plus in my book.
I am bullish on apple’s vr headsets. That is all you’ll have room for. No desks!
Had to scroll down surprisingly far to find this comment.

The iPhone moment for this space IMO is... the iPhone (sans phone)

Imagine something of google glass form factor tethered to a personal computing device (the size of an iPhone) for external battery and CPU.

Basically Iron Man glasses. IMO glasses that can do everything a phone can, with baked in Google Lens is already a killer feature.

Imagine having everything in focus auto-translated while abroad.

Once you get certain social features like both visualizing the same thing I think that will be the ChatGPT moment for the space.
I have declined a few interviews from companies who claimed "this is a great place to work, because all our engineers give their 110% in everything they do."

Big red flag. I am not prepared to give 110% to anyone's who's not me or my loved ones, sorry. And the amount I expect to receive in exchange, monetary or otherwise, increases quadratically as we reach 100%.

If your engineers give more than 75% effort on average, they're lying to you, you're hopelessly naive, or you're a slave driver.

I think the tablet market share agrees with you. We've also got touch sensitive notebook screens that removed the edge from a pure tablet experience.

Which is something important to keep in mind when discussing VR adoption. A few people getting overly excited (or overly dismissive) is not necessarily a good predictor.
It's a good example of poor reading comprehension. The actual question is "If reddit wants to charge 20M, then why not buy out the app?". It's a valid hypothetical question and a valid possible business outcome. There's nothing threatening about asking that as a hypothetical, that many other redditors have been asking as well. The point of meetings is to address such concerns.
Oh, well, that explains everything.
