I think the eye tracking is the multitouch of this generation of devices. It's not a new idea, but it's the first device to ship with it (at least in the "consumer" space). Even if they end up with some sort of controllers in the future, the eye tracking enables so many interactions. Not to mention foveated rendering, which they mentioned in a few of the slides. Basically, render a super high quality dot where the user is looking, and fade out the quality in the peripheral vision. 2x4k screens is a lot of pixels to render, even with the M2 being a decent GPU, but with eye tracking, it's possible to really push the rendering quality.
> The entire industry is growing at 10x capacity every five years!

Grid storage is projected only to grow 10-17 GWh per year according to the aforementioned article.

Is that anywhere enough, if the aim is to decarbonise?
> we are talking about people (homo sapiens) putting a major something on their heads that dramatically takes over their visual field for the pursuit of... what exactly?

In the simulation field, the advances are already major. There is a huge gap in the gaming experience when playing simulation games for instance.
That's something of a myth. Or, rather, English happens to have so many short words that only a few permutations are possible if you fix the first and last letters. In something like German it would absolutely not work as well. And even in English, it becomes more difficult if you don't cherry-pick fairly simple permutations that preserve some important structure of the word, like "deffinert" or "porblem".

But on the other hand, yes, natural language has low entropy and lots of redundancy because it's meant to have error correction. From most sentences you can drop several words, not just scramble them, and the meaning can be inferred from the context.
Is it really the same though? I can see how this is proposing a different approach on how to present VR but apart from tech folks nobody seems to care. Where on iPhone case from day 1 one could tell it was actually really really useful. And you also have to consider the price tag as well, I can think about many things that I would spend money on first even if I had those 3500 dollars.

Maybe I'll change my mind when I see people working or joining meetings in one of these but at least for now it looks like this is a product searching for a mass market.
Point is, you don't know which are wrong unless you do the work. The moderator has to do the actual work, but the LM (or rather, the user running an LM bot on his account) gets the credit.

They asked why it is a problem, and I tried to explain why it is in practice.
Yes, there's an absolutely alarming (perhaps desperate) theoretical grasp towards AI as being able to provide an explanatory paradigm for neuroscience.

As it is trivial to show, this fails -- and produces egregious pseudoscience such as *that article under a Nature brand!*

Correlating blood flow in the brain to matrix-multiplication coefficients in digitised text-embedding is some extreme nadir of AI pseudoscience.

They should next correlate it with patterns in sprays of mist in the air; with enough sprays, they'll find a whole new theoretical paradigm for neuroscience.
Popcount is extremely common in algorithms. XOR then popcount gives hamming distance, for example. I’ve used lzcnt many times as well, in parsing binary formats and flag fields.
I don't think it is fair to say that Nuclear technology has not advanced. There is a lot of excitement around small modular reactors now that are attempting to achieve some economies of scale. Yes, the aren't there yet, but the concept shows promise.

I do agree that the biggest threat to Nuclear at the moment isn't environmentalists or even NIMBY types, it is wind and solar getting so cheap and storage finally being deployed at scale that it will never be able to compete on price.
Sadly, this will provide a lot of ammunition to those wanting to restrict this kind of device as a “hacking tool”.
Hmm, the Debian package of ruby-net-ssh doesn't even depend on OpenSSL at all.
Cyan: Regarding “AI Assisted Content” in Firmament
The apples to apples comparison that pops to mind is a tech consultant. Where you own a client funnel and have some potential to scale and delegate. How hard is it to create this client funnel in IT vs manufacturing?
Gaming is legitimately awesome with these devices. It’s a high effort, high reward experience. Using the Quest on a few of the highly polished and addictive games surpassed even my childhood experience of getting a computer for the first time.

As a general purpose computer, I see a hint of what it could be, and I am convinced it’s the future. It has to be. It’s too powerful not to be.

Imagine there’s nothing to put on. The computer doctor sprinkles some magic computer dust over you 7 minutes after you are born and you get Apple Vision++++ levels of ability, all of the time. Everything in the world becomes a potential UI. Every action becomes an input. Every surface a display. Look at our total screen time and realize there’s no going back, so we might as well ditch the screens and stop all the squinting.

But I am also convinced this is 30 to 100 years away. There‘s no line of sight on how to build this magic dust and no one is going to wear ski goggles all day.
Don't know about Mint or other .deb systems.

But I'm pretty happy with OpenSuse for desktop use and MicroOS for my servers.
tough if I'm honest,
I don't know what are their main advantages over other systems.
Mocodo, a grid-constrained text-to-ERD tool
Warning: French-flavored ERD, aka Merise MCD.

Text-to-diagram tools are great, but often make the user struggle with the automatic layout (e.g. Graphviz).

Mocodo adopts a mixed approach to the layout problem : diagram-as-text, but the line breaks and the order of the nodes (entities and relationships) are used as positional hints. The resulting layout is constrained to an invisible grid corresponding to a left-to-right and top-to-down reading of the source.

Moreover, since there are relatively few possible grid positions, automatically rearranging the layout becomes an assignment problem, which can be solved by a simple b&b algorithm.

Obviously, this wouldn't scale, but this is just a teaching tool that I use to present small ERDs to my students.

You may test it at https://mocodo.net. Click the turning arrows to draw the diagram and the shuffle symbol to rearrange it randomly.
This is a straw man. Light switches don't have code running that can detect and ignore spam inputs.
My experience leading an older startup is that category two is hard to escape whether or not you’re working in person. It has more to do with the “Innovator’s Dilemma” - once a company has found product market fit and is generating profits, everything is fine-tuned for that purpose. The company’s reason for existing is to generate profits from that one thing that really worked out.

Some companies are able to add great new products over time, but I sense that it’s more common for companies to have one great play, after which they either die or merge with another to enjoy better economies of scale.

If you’re big enough and rich enough, you tend to burn a ton of money on internal research groups, but very little of what gets researched is ever a successful product. Doing this as a smaller organization is nearly impossible, which is why I think so many startups just exit rather than finding entirely new things to build.
A gift for soon to be many multiples of the currently estimated 2 million rats in NYC.
But they have been clear in the presentations that this is the same. It's running a handful of apps, it's not some full laptop-like experience. I would bet it's anyway using most of its computing power just to draw on the displays and to do realtime image recognition to blend the 3D windows into the image of your own room. You'd need far more computing power to actually get a full laptop experience in addition to all this.
Chrome extension? - 'uBlock works best on Firefox'
While changing and improving their content and the "form" of the article is probably time best spent -- probably we would do more to improve the experience for the audience by dumping the PDF and moving to web based articles entirely, structured data, html papers, linked content and customisable viewing experiences would all improve the reading experience massively.

Not a week goes by without a new issue popping up. A dependency manager is a critical piece of infrastructure, it should not be the main developer experience bottleneck when building an application. A good package manager is out of sight, out of mind. You don't hear people complaining so much about Cargo every day.
Another option can be your country's CERT. In reasonably developed countries they generally have competent enough people to understand the concept of responsible disclosure (i.e. won't try to harass you for doing a good thing), and if they realize "oh shit, this is a critical infrastructure risk" they're probably in the best position to address not just the specific case, but also drive improvements (including via regulation) across vendors.
Very, very nice. I have been trying to figure out how to replace the battery on my Apple Watch in a country with limited hardware support options, and although this won’t help, it is another reminder that Apple these days designs for disposability rather than long-term ownership…
This is not about being clean or not, is about being previously occupied by another activity that is economically much stronger so you just can't compete or displace them. All the good places near the coast are heavily occupied yet so, where do they want to culture all this volume?. The other companies have enough money to buy you off of the road and build an hotel, or are the only remaining place suitable for the local authorities to place the new airport

And not all places are suitable to grow brown algae. (Not they aren't. Algae are not so easy to grow as National Geographic seem to suggest. They have predators also). Chinese grow a lot of Palmaria since thousands years and the trend is to replace it for its relatively low value by Hectare, either transform it into crab farms to increase the benefits, or turn it into a developed urban area.
It would be pretty ironic if the Quest Pro controllers end up being the defacto 3rd party controller for AVP. Would certainly make porting games that much easier.

I'm also curious if Apple plans to use iPhones as an input mode. Speech to text is nice but I'd like to be able to discretely type something.
> “argument from unclean hands”

Finally! I’ve been looking for the name of that concept.

My personal example is saying “Jumbo frames are a cheap way to get a 20% performance boost.”

The network team argued with me about how expensive it would be for so long that it actually became expensive and no longer worth it.
> Nuclear tech does not advance.

Sure it does. New reactors are not the old designs.
Indeed. I don't lock my doors because I think that is a serious deterrent to someone who truly wants to get in. I lock them, as they say, to keep the honest people honest.
Zuckerberg with his "Metaverse", yeah, about that. Instead of creating useful applications in VR first he spent billions into creating a metaverse nobody wants.
Quoting his response to Apple's Vision: ‘could be the vision of the future of computing, but like, it’s not the one that I want.’ Meh, it's freaking awesome, but mine is better, you'll see, meh. What a child.
All of my best engineering happened when I didn't have a single meeting with my manager for 6 months.

That being said if you manage to get that one good unicorn manager (that 1 in 50) who knows how to actually manage, they are fantastic. If you you have a standard manager, you have to put in a lot of work to get value out of them.

If you have a bad manager, they may actively harm your mental health to the point where you are no longer able to function in your position.

The iron test of a 1:1 is asking "do I feel listened to," which is distinctly different than "did they hear the words that I said, and respond." They should also give and solicit feedback and set expectations appropriately.
Just use it to understand what your manager's priorities are and how you can better align yourself to his interests. Working in big tech is basically being at the beck and call of your manager. Truly worked for some terrible managers in my career and I'm pretty sure it will continue for the rest of my life.
> ...etc happened without a big office

while linux or git was created relatively sololy by a single person (at least at the beginning), i dont think you can call the internet a solo production.
That also incentivizes home battery systems. Charge it up overnight and then use the battery power during peak times. It's a good deal for the power company if you do that too because it reduces amount of swing in the grid.
It was laughed at by consumers. There was a time not long ago when buying anything from internet was considered taboo because, you said it, fear of losing your credit card information to scammers.
To be fair you really really don't want anything to overheat inside a plastic box full of shredded paper.
> iMessage E2E encryption is not opt-in. There isn't even an opt-out.

This is incorrect. iCloud Backup escrows endpoint keys for "Messages in iCloud" to Apple every night in a non-e2ee fashion, which means that a non-endpoint has the keys, which means that iMessage is not e2ee.

Apple has real-time access to plaintext of almost every single iMessage that transits their service. The only case in which they don't is where both users either don't have iCloud Backup enabled or both users have enabled e2ee iCloud Backup.
I did my best for 5 years, but I really fucked up the business by over promising (I was young, this was 10 years ago). I hit burnout a couple years in, and kept pushing. Then I had to take on debt to keep going, so I had to get a full time job to start paying off the debt. With a full time job and debt to pay I worked weekends for months to try to deliver, but after years of burnout and still so little progress I eventually had to give up.

I’m seeing a lot of comments about “you should do X” but I don’t think a lot of people understand what extreme burnout is like. My mental health was horrible after all of that, and at some point I literally couldn’t will myself to continue. After five years of work I announced the project was over in 2018. Some people understood and some people were upset. But I did everything I could for 5 years, and by that point there were a lot of better products on the market that people could actually buy, unlike mine. You give as much as you can but at some point you have to walk away.
Read the post, listen to the audio of the actual context of that comment in the call. It wasn't blackmail, and was addressed in the submission. He also lives in a country that doesn't require all parties to consent to recording, and it wasn't until Reddit accused him of blackmail that he released his evidence.. Seems reasonable and level headed to me.
Office work is nice for teams that actually benefit from open area desk layout. Teams that can work fine in cubicles and offices do great WFH.

For me, the extroverts that insist in socializing, gossiping and politicking in person make office work an unproductive nightmare.
You spend at least 3 times as long going up the hill as you do going down it, and a reasonably fit person will be putting out the equivalent heat of an 800w-1000w heater during that period. This makes wearing protective gear impossible. If you look at downhill mountain biking the gear worn is very different.

That’s the reason!
I think that you can extend what you said in your first example to the second. In a future where they are just small devices barely noticeable and providing by default just AR, it would be just like headphones. Then, if you want, you can switch to VR and lose yourself there.
The flipper specifically or the way they are typically used?
You seem to be doing something right. Imo most ppl are overworked and underpaid
Does anyone have any understanding why these models don't simply output unicode, chunked into 12 or 16 bit words or whatever? The token lists are 100.000 tokens long, 65336 positions derived from bit sequences shouldn't be a problem right?

Headphones are a great analogy. For me, headphones are a burden to wear long-term.

And that's coming from someone who spends a good amount of time doing studio work. I much prefer the comfort of a good set of speakers as they're far less intrusive, but for some things you just have to have a pair of headphones on hand.

This is why I have doubts that the current form of VR headsets is going to be the new standard for working.
Does this mean the legal team do not understand tech? How come a company like Google/YouTube have no checks-balances when sending things like this? Or do the top-level not have powers over legal team?

I saw this film at a cinema, but I have to say it’s quite disappointing.

It’s an impressive feat, yes, and at many points it looks really beautiful. But there are other points where the oil paintings are (understandably!) rushed, and the story is very thin.

Overall, I was far more impressed by “Across the Spider-Verse”. I’d be amazed if any animator can watch that and not think “Yes!! That’s it! This is the future of my profession!”
You have that completely backwards. That line means that even deliberately harmful interference should not break it.
The intel Macbook Air was Apple's best selling computer even before their switch to ARM.

Only because Apple has made it so.

What would be the drawback if I, a macOS developer not paying Apple $99 per year, had access to the macOS application notarization service for free?
Not a Googler, but the point about gerrit vs gitlab is totally valid.

The tools you use are culture-defining.
> do I feel listened to

This is a good litmus test. A lot of managers refuse to understand the details of the systems and talk about how engineers need to provide "executive" summaries. This is the most bullshit argument I've ever heard. I spent many years at AWS, and one of my fav parts of working at AWS used to be Charlie Bell randomly picking Directors and Senior Management to answer basic reliability questions about their service. If they are unable to do that, they would be reprimanded infront of the entire organization. It was the perfect way to keep managers inline with the actual reality of their engineering organization.

AWS had many faults, but keeping managers honest was one of the good parts of working there.
>There is no requirement to use snap, usually you can get .deb from somewhere, you can find ppa, or install from source.

Yes, because installing Firefox from source, and updating every few days when new security updates are released, is so easy...

It is possible to switch to a PPA for Firefox, but installing it isn't quite trivial, since Ubuntu really doesn't want you doing it that way. With this, and so many other decisions that Ubuntu has been making in recent years, it's easier to just find another distro better aligned to my interests.
attempts at fluid mode aside, the answer there is read a web based paper
The simplest contrast is ChatGPT vs VR right now. OpenAI is up to over a billion of users and hundreds of millions of subscribers in <6 months, from a huge cross-section of markets. VR has a few million users at most after ~10 years, and almost all of them are gamers.

There is no demand for VR outside gaming. Efforts to try and create that demand are failing.
So far, we have not seen that. People opt for meetings where they can speak versus using tools to become better at communicating via text.
Such dogs almost always die. I think the frequency of strays may be related to how easy it is for a former pet to survive, and it's presumably harder in colder countries.

Maybe it’s just me aging into a different demographic, but my sphere of acquaintances is increasingly reaching peak tech, becoming quite uninterested in (or actively hostile to) further technological mediation of our lives.
According to this poll only 22% of democrats or 27% of liberals believed the statement "some men can give birth". It seems absurd to me to call "men cannot give birth" a right wing belief.

I can see why someone like Carmack who's into hard sci-fi would like a venue where they're not just playing semantics and word games.
Came here to write this. What a bad headline. And it makes it sound like Flipper Zero is unintentionally doing something wrong here.
> you could've done the same with any other SDR, not just the Flipper Zero.

The specialness of the flipper zero is not that it can do more than any other SDR. The specialness is how easy it is to use. The question is what you can do in that 'easy mode'.

That, in the easy mode, you can do this kind of realistic and meaningful damage is noteworthy. Because this potential is brought to the masses. It probably won't be the start of widespread SDR-based cyber-crime, but that brings it one step closer. That is why I consider this noteworthy news about the flipper zero specifically.

I think what you're looking for is a recruiter. If you post on LinkedIn about such and hashtag #recruiter and then change your status to Open To Work you'll get flooded with offers.

The problem then will be how to filter the offers. Questions I like to ask is:

Startups:
- Is X profitable? Is that after taxes/payroll, etc?
-- What is the burn rate? How long could X survive before needing to get another round of funding?
- What is the compensation range? Bonuses? Stock? How much?
- What's the churn rate? Has the company pivoted recently? (I had joined a company a while back that fired the majority of its Java devs such that all the remaining devs had max 1-year of experience at the company, long story short: the company was terribly run and nothing worked)
- What's the tech stack?
- Remote friendly?

You could also check weworkremotely.com

Anyways, put everything you want in your post and then spend the time fielding offers and you'll find something really good.

I'm involved in the hiring of the company I work for (only tangentially but still) and it seems, at least in Berlin, that seniors and above engineers are in huge demand because they can be immediately productive.

Elixir and Rails also have large communities and joining them either on Reddit or in Discord or Slack there might be channels/subreddits that have job boards.

Lastly, the Who's Hiring In June here on HN and then grepping for Elixir or Rails and remote stuff could be beneficial.

GOOD LUCK!
