On the flipside, it gives Meta a blueprint for disrupting the market. They're well-poised up to release a "Quest Pro Max" of sorts - keep the Quest form factor, but go all-in on eye tracking and screen tech. Price it at $3,000 and include a nice aluminum stand for kicks and giggles.

The Hololens was a "power move" headset that had to repeatedly re-adjust its target market because the price was too high. Apple could end up in the same spot if they can't iteratively bring down the price.
Thanks! It happens. I've changed the title. Is it ok now?

I cannot imagine why any critical thinker would care what Zuck thinks about a competing product.
Twitters real issue is that it’s dated. Have you seen modern social networks? They are highly visual and much more stimulating for better or worse. Copying Twitter might as well be like copying a 1920s radio for how outdated it is. Complete paradigm shift since then with messaging and video.
It's an Apple product, and one that everyone knows is super expensive. It'll end up like the Airpods max, weird looking, but still a status symbol.
We are audited by the FDA, UL, and NSF. Also a company that does organic certification but I forgot what they're called.

> Currently none of the existing chargers, if it all, work with Teslas.

100% Wrong

I can plug my Teslas into any J1772 charger with a dongle. I don't even use a Tesla charger at home. It's the same protocol, just a different plug shape.

I didn't buy the CCS adapter for my newer Tesla because there's a supercharger everywhere I want to go, and they're much more reliable. (That's also why I haven't paid to upgrade my older Tesla to be CCS compatible.)
Agreed 100%. Fully remote can be just as (or more) productive as onsite, but the processes need to be created specifically around fully remote work. Very few companies are doing that. They're giving remote work the old college try, throwing up their hands, and finding excuses to bring everyone back in.
Having defaults sucked anyway because any subreddit that ended up on there was almost guaranteed to plummet in quality. IIRC the only subreddit that managed to avoid that (way back when I still used reddit) was /r/science because they had strict moderation to stop it from turning into a mess of image macros and DAE posts.
Really? So if I switched back to Gentoo after 20 years away I would find that I could quickly get a nice desktop environment set up, have the NVIDIA graphics drivers properly installed and compatible, log into my office Wifi and detect the office printer, and be able to install Anaconda and get back to training PyTorch models, within a couple of days?
That comes down to capacity factor + minimal increase in electricity demand.

The US can operate nuclear at 90+% capacity factors because it’s such a small fraction the overall grid. Seasonal, daily, and weekend dips in demand mean you just don’t want that much base load power. France could export power to other countries and still only hit 70% capacity factor which means your paying the exact same capital, and nearly identical operating costs driving up cost per kWh by about 30% on average except that cost isn’t spread evenly the marginal costs go up much faster.

To simplify if you hypothetically built 50GW and you’re paying 8c/kWh, the next 10GW is at 9c/kWh, the next 10GW at 10c/kWh, and it just keeps getting worse. Sure on average that’s 70GW for 8.42c/kWh but each new project just keeps looking like a worse deal.
> I suspect that the US will standardize on NACS soon.

"Soon" being years away. So slow. The US is years behind as is.

> Then Europe will be playing catch up

What on earth are you talking about? All brands of charger charge all brands of EV in Europe. It's one of the reasons the European EV market is bigger than the North American market. There's been more common sense applied to infrastructure.
Rats didn't show up in comment again because cats came.
Not commenting on your app, but I think the real reason mobile clients are needed for Reddit is that they intentionally try to break the mobile web experience to force their app down your throat. In contrast, HN.. doesn't. The mobile website is pleasant to use, if you are okay with the rather small text buttons.
My understanding is that Reddit is saying that by not charging for the API they are losing $20M per year. So he said, well you can buy me out, and instead of doing a multiple of that $20M to be like $100M, he’s only asking for half of only one year’s worth of what they would lose. Clearly they don’t want to do that deal because the $20M figure is complete bogus.
> NYT made Google kill all cats on Google campus.

NYT didn't "make" Google do anything. They published an article which may or not be correct and then the Google people made their own choices.
> This definitely isn't new.

This is mentioned in the article.
A friend of mine works at Meta and was telling me about how much of the AVP's functionality exists on the recent Meta devices, for a fraction of the cost. My reply: great! If that's true, that'll be a boon for Meta (as customers learn this) and for customers (who will save tons of money by getting Meta devices).
Here is my take: Apple is being pro-privacy to lock-in consumers to their products
But they are nowhere as untouchable as they seem to think they are wrt to anti-trust laws. So, let them, in their arrogance, destroy surveillance-capitalism and get destroyed themselves for being uncompetitive. Let the beasts of greed eat each other.
I am so thankful for this project - for years I have been obsessed with a game I loved on my old Mac SE, but I couldn’t remember the name and only remembered that it was like Asteroids, but in a maze.

I found it on several of the releases at this site - it’s called Continuum. So fun to get to play it again after all this time!
> I am in the videogame business.

In October 2019, American video game developer Blizzard Entertainment punished Ng Wai Chung (吳偉聰) (known as Blitzchung), a Hong Kong esports player of the online video game Hearthstone, for voicing his support of the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests during an official streaming event. Blizzard also terminated their contract with the two livestream presenters who were interviewing Blitzchung. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitzchung_controversy

Choosing not to do anything is just as much of a choice as choosing to do something, and is "playing God" in equal amount.
Why would it drive your bills up?
Indeed. And it even has the same features (centralized, ultimately beholden to commercial interests) that destroyed Reddit!

But don't worry, that's not going to happen here. You don't need a decentralized non-profit community, trust me. It's going to work out this time. Really.
I just came here because it hit 1337 comments. Nice.
Furthermore, having third party apps in directly against the business model, which seeks total control of the user's attention to deliver ads and optimize for profits. They are hoping to bump their valuations up before the IPO by this.
Meh. You can keep the last few years of Meta VR “advances”; for the price, I’d much rather just buy 11 million Vision Pros.
I'd love to see a source for that number, because you "seeing a calculation" isn't really enough to go by.. The US isn't "one of the few that hasn't built" either -Korea's had moderate success but nobody else outside of China can build the things, which doesn't bode well for what's being built in China.

Look at how Flamanville[1] and Hinckley[2] are going..

[1] https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/edf-announces-new-de... - "The Flamanville EPR reactor, which is already a decade behind schedule and has been dogged by repeated cost overruns, is now expected to start operations in the first quarter of 2024 and cost 13.2 billion euros, EDF said."

[2] https://www.scmp.com/news/world/europe/article/3210705/cost-... - "Electricite de France said the cost of building its flagship Hinkley Point C nuclear power station in the UK is set to spiral further to £32 billion (US$38.5 billion) [..] The revised estimate is the latest indication of surging costs after the start of plant was delayed last year. In May, EDF raised the price tag to build the two reactors at Hinkley to £25 billion (US$30 billion) and £26 billion (US$31 billion). The plant is due to start in June 2027, but there is a risk of an additional delay of around 15 months."

Email is an impersonal, asynchronous medium.

If a recruiter is open to being asked questions about why I was not hired, I would especially like that opportunity to ask them in a live phone call.

Scheduling a call seems miles more considerate than ghosting. For crying out loud.

It is important to cultivate and maintain relationships with good recruiters throughout one's career. Recruiters themselves are used to being ghosted, abused, and maligned. It only takes a modicum of humanity for me to respond to a legitimate human recruiter that I am not currently seeking opportunities or this is not right for me. Reciprocation is certainly appreciated in all cases.

Reflecting on the OP's situation, may it perhaps be the case that the recruiter scheduled this call in the eventuality that it turned into a job offer? Perhaps they won't schedule it right away because they need time to come to a decision, and they're going to deliver that decision via phone to you whether it's a "yes" or "no".
I'm leaning towards automated, given that it includes the article "Redditor creates working anime QR codes using Stable Diffusion".

Still great for charging your EV overnight
The irony of this is Google is very much a culture of spending vast amounts of resources on internal/external tools. They have a significant product category in GSuite. So when I see them making statements about the effectiveness of in person it boggles my mind. You are quite literally in the business of providing productivity tools, many of them facilitating remote work/meetings. How on earth do you go on records making a statement like that? Shouldn't the Google ethos be to improve those offerings to compensate for any perceived shortcomings from not being in person? This is like Zoom saying everyone should go back to in person meetings and flying execs all over the country for business pitches. Incredible...
I highly doubt Meta can match Apple's tech now and in the future. The hard part is the hardware. Apple is way ahead here.
In the spirit of assuming good intent...what the heck are you talking about?

The NACS standard is public, and any auto or charger manufacturer is free to equip them, or make as many as they'd like.

Then there's the separate issue of whether or not a given car will communicate with a charger -- that is using the CCS standard, which is managed by a standards group.

So you have a free connector design, the ability to anybody and their dog to make adapters (although you probably shouldn't use a dog-designed adaptor), and the important part (the charging protocol) being controlled by the consortium you seem enamored by.

Tesla has already said their charging network will become EV-agnostic, making that an open standard.

You have to be strangely self-centered to proclaim that you can't understand why people are excited, and somewhat unwilling to read.
There are plausible environmental reasons not to proliferate nuclear energy
This entire space has a lot of options, and it's still an open question about what is the right approach. The fact is that C++ is a scalar language, with scalar guarantees and scalar assumptions built into their types. Hacking around this requires sacrifices, and different libraries are choosing different approaches. EVO (not featured in your list) is trying to approach it from an algorithms point of view. Highway is portable wrappers around common functionality.

I think this is inherently a language-compiler problem. When libraries are using intrinsic functions to override compiler decisions, they interact poorly. One example: here's comparing a scalar versus an avx-512 intrinsic version of accumulate.

https://godbolt.org/z/cMafh4Pnv

IDK if you can read assembly, but the intrinsic version is waaaay worse, and about 4x slower. This is because using intrinsics makes it very hard for the compiler to do other optimizations it otherwise would (e.g. unrolling and reordering).
If it’s for performance, it’s not a layoff. You had to fire them.
Apple's vision is the Microsoft HoloLens. I was walking around with apps floating in front of me (and staying in rooms where I placed them) years ago.

It's a neat gimmick but not worth the asking price because there's not $3500 of value you're extracting out of it.

Maybe $500 of value because it's neat? Not sure. It's great at presenting virtual screens (I don't need one) and non-game 3D content which will be a handful of 3D movies and novelty apps where you can explode a hologram of something.
> because Apple actually has its own vision — “spacial computing”

Lol. It was called “spatial computing” at Facebook for years long before the metaverse rebrand.
Pff, your punitive 21¢/kWh is cheaper than our overnight 25¢/kWh or so in the Bay Area :P
The point here is, if Reddit thinks the user base is worth $20M per year, paying $10M to take over the app and implement ads on it, would be a steal. They’d return the money in 6 months. Usual payback periods are like 4-8 years. Clearly the $20M is BS because otherwise they’d done the deal on the spot.
> “if Q4 numbers indicate the vision pro is a hit”

The Vision Pro isn’t shipping until 2024.

IMO this Verge article is a bit incongruent for mocking Meta’s announcement of Quest 3 a couple of months ahead, without mentioning that Apple’s announcement was almost a year before the Vision Pro will reach most markets.
Any competent tradesman is making a living wage on basically day 1 with his business. A software business (not writing software for someone else, selling your own software) is much more difficult.
I haven’t found in-person meetups to be that useful. In my experience they only really started happening in late 2021/early 2022 due to the pandemic, and since then they’ve been severely curtailed due to the market downturn. So when you do meet up it’s more about finally seeing people in person, team building, and restating your team’s goals and mission. Any brainstorming I’ve seen happens in over-long sessions with 30+ people in attendance, where a ton of ideas are generated but there’s no actual momentum once everyone gets on the plane back home. The real collaboration happens in the interstitial times- lunch, breaks, and so on. Which again points to the importance of having at least part of the team co-located.

Full disclosure, this is at a company that is hybrid and not remote-first. But I’ve seen the pattern repeated enough times across various teams that I don’t think my experience is unique. And I say this as someone who personally prefers to work remotely- I’m just not unaware of what’s lost in that environment.
> Is Microsoft today in a fundamentally problematic position ?

I mean… pretty obviously yes?

Windows is rotting on the vine, Azure is nowhere near the market share of other players, and while they still have a large installed base of users they’ve done nothing particularly noteworthy in like a decade at this point.

If there’s anyone on the path to being the next IBM it’s them.
You seem to be ignoring the fact that charger network operators can use the connector as well. I'm not sure why you're ignoring that.
But clearly they didn't continue to consider it as a threat after clarification, according to the transcript?

Reddit: "Oh. Go quiet as in that. Okay, got it. Got it. Sorry."

Reddit: "That's a complete misinterpretation on my end. I apologize. I apologize immediately."
In other words he basically concedes.
It's not just environmentalists, but environmental regulation that is used by anti-nuclear opponents to stall, slow down, and halt all nuclear development.
If that’s really going to happen, I guess I’ll switch careers.

If that happens to every career, I guess I’ll become one of the managers making those decisions.

Stay on top of change, don’t be victimized by it.
utterly failed? we’ve just started mass consumer adoption. this reads like the typical “only elon can save the world” shtick.

Blackberry was making their own hardware and OS to almost the same extent as Apple does today...are you arguing that Apple will be the next BlackBerry ?
Its $89MWH with a $30MWH generation credit and a $1.4B subsidy (thanks Biden). This is all before construction has started, there will certainly be more cost inflation coming.

https://ieefa.org/resources/eye-popping-new-cost-estimates-r...
Who said anything about credit. You were implying the Tesla connector is technically superior using flawed logic.
A shocking amount of people here are assuming Reddit is launching this API program in good faith. This was not a transition third party apps were meant to survive; 30 days is nowhere near enough time for any business, let alone ones by single random software developers, to see their costs increase into the hundreds of thousands or even millions per month.
WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) = Ubuntu, right?

Is the user experience under it better?
By all accounts, Apple have absolutely nailed it when it comes to how the product works. The key to its wide-scale success from this point forward is not how well the product works, but in making it affordable to the masses. Apple have already cleared the “needs amazing product thinking” hurdle and now it’s all about getting the supply chain to where it needs to be. They don’t need a Jobs, they need a Cook.
The other thing I've seen is they scroll you to the bottom where those weird article embeds are.
Probably better to skip that and go for characters or bytes, since it can simply learn morphemes or phonemes from the smallest structure available. Alas, the context size problem is the main pressure against this.
Yea, I have the same preferences as you :) We’ll try and do both!
I know CloudFlare is an increasingly popular bogeyman but that's like blaming the Linux kernel for dropping your request to a website after its owner added a rule to block your IP...

CloudFlare does tell users of their services how their different levels of protection will impact their visitors. The site owners CHOOSE to add those barriers. CloudFlare didn't force them, they're perfectly happy being a mostly passive CDN if that's what the website owner wants.

That's not an issue for commercial/industrial use cases.
Wouldn’t happen. $20M number is completely BS.
message me at (my username) at gmail dot com. I'm the creator of Touchbase (www.touchbase.id) that lets users share all their online platforms in 1 profile, and I want to speak on possibly integrating HACK as a platform that users can share their account of.
I'd say from a kernel perspective they should be copy-on-write.

Firstly, the generalized kernel mechanism which scans for equal pages and de-dupes them [which by the way is disabled by default on Linux] probably doesn't care about if it's working on data or code; it seems like the primary use case at its introduction was for KVM, which, a kernel probably loads code pages and hence writes to them at some point, such as when it reads them from disk.

Second, someone can use mprotect(2) to make them writeable.
Exactly. They’re not doing the deal because the $20M is complete BS.
If Apple solved the blurry text problem of VR, then they have a huge advantage in the pro market. Every app developer will be working on Apple VR apps: dashboards, AR training material, whiteboarding etc
> This is a needless digression, and it's clear you won't change your mind.

It’s not a digression. “Democracy” isn’t just about voting mechanisms. People all over the world care about self determination—governing whatever they consider to be their own society.

> Wars are over "location" because by definition it's not possible to fight a war to win voting share or opinions

“Opinions” aren’t what glue people together. And the things that do glue people together are locational, for the same reason wars are. As long as humans exist primarily in meat space, geographic boundaries will also naturally reflect people’s families, neighbors, workplaces, recreational places, etc. Particular boundaries might be redrawn, etc., but the relevant boundaries will be geographic. The average American lives only 18 miles from their mother. 58% of Americans live in the state where they were born. 1 in 6 have never left their home stage.

> Democracy is the fix for this disaster. You're claiming the disaster is a feature!

Democracy doesn’t fix the problem, because democracy presupposes that a particular group of people have consented to being part of a body politic on certain terms. “I trust you enough to participate in joint decision making with you” is a threshold issue, before you get to “what is the mathematical technique for making a decision jointly.”
So what he said rather poorly was:

1) ok so, according to you I’m costing you $20M/year in API load

2) How about you pay me $10M which is 6 months of your cost, and I turn off the $20M/year burden immediately.

3) you make your money back in 6 months and within a year are up $10M

The problem is Apollo does not cost Reddit $20M/year lol
If it were worth $20M in lost advertising, buying the app and adding adverts to it would be a no brainer. The author was trying to call their bluff on user value, but communicated it very poorly.
The 50s is a pretty long time ago by 2020. It's not so recent as it was in the 80s or the 00s
If dark matter and dark energy are real. While it is generally accepted that they are, dark matter's existence isn't a a closed case yet. Look into the MOND theory.

I personally don't have the education to state a theory with confidence, but I like the idea the physicists saw galaxies rotating in a way which seemed to break the rules of physics they knew and so they said, "our rules can't be wrong, there must be something there we can't see or measure or prove what it is." When it is possible (emphasis on possible) that maybe the laws of physics as related to motion and acceleration are different at scales that include multiple galaxies. Maybe they are rotating at the precise rate they are supposed to and there are undiscovered laws of physics at great scale. They are different rules at the quantum level and we haven't found quantum gravity yet. Is it possible the rules of gravity could be not as concrete at the largest levels of existence? Einstein said large masses bend space and time and we see that as gravity. Could the unexpected rotation of galaxies that is now explained as proving dark matter exists actually be caused by galaxy sized massed bending space and time at a different proportion. I dunno, but wouldn't it be fun if the explanation was so revolutionary and simple?

Disclaimer because this is the internet: I have no clue is this theory could be real, and it is mostly based on other theories by actual, real physicists--which I am not.
