>Pretty sure the title is wrong and that it isnt a US Standard... Pretty sure CCS is though.

The Bloomberg article is describing a defacto USA Standard while omitting the word "defacto":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_facto_standard

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_facto

If NACS outnumbers CCS enough in marketshare, it will become a defacto standard and everybody in conversational usage will just call it a "standard" instead of "defacto standard".

Whether that threshold has actually been reached and NACS is truly a defacto standard today may be debated.
From the blog this leaped out at me:

> That shift is fundamental. The interface for Vision Pro felt like it was reading my thoughts rather than responding to my inputs. Its infinite, pixel perfect canvas also felt inherently different. I wasn’t constrained by my physical setup, instead my setup was whatever I thought would be most productive for me.

That DOES seem like a paradigm shift in the offing to me. Sure it might be iPhone 1 expensive and uncertain, but it's easy to imagine how incredible a lighter, more affordable version will be to MANY people within 5 years or so.
> went to non.io

> no mobile view

Instand turn off. I don't get why these kind of platforms aren't "mobile first".
Very cool. Your notes seem very high quality and the fact that they'll be indexed by search engines is great for other people.
That's not the point of the comment you're responding to.

Climate-driven austerity isn't going to happen, because it's an intractable global-scale collective action problem.

If you believe that anthropogenic climate change is going to be a global disaster, you should probably reasonably assume that some country in the world is going to allocate serious resources to mitigating it.

There are 50 countries in the world with resources exceeding that of Portugal or New Zealand. Any of those countries could fund and implement a large-scale geoengineering project. No mechanism exists to ensure that any of those countries get permission to do so.

So it doesn't much matter whether we think it's a good idea. Either:

(1) Anthropogenic climate change isn't going to impose unacceptable costs on the industrialized world, and we'll just blow it off, or

(2) Some country is going to intervene directly in the climate.
So after computer viruses we now get the possibility of computer cancer if the self healing goes wrong?
Wow. With the discipline and tenacity that Doug puts into getting retro hardware+software working, I wonder what he could accomplish at hacking away on modern systems!

Awesome idea, great work
From the ad, it looked to me like you get a iPad-esque computing device when standalone, but that it tethers and can act as a display for macOS. Just speculative of course, but in the ad they said something like, “connect to your MacBook to extend all your MacBook apps onto the Vision Pro.”

I suspect that, like the iPad, there will be ways to force it to function as a standalone device, but that the happy path will be heavily optimized towards you buying as much Apple hardware as possible.
60% of web users are phone users. Probably more for a site like this. Would be better if it supported mobile screens. Not just supported but that should be the default.
> You seem to be intent on wanting people to just trust that you'll never sell the business and all the communication history, for confusing reasons

I think the words "just trust" here are not right. No I don't want people to "just" trust me because I wouldn't "just" trust someone else. I think the E2E thing is important but we already have platforms that facilitate this really well. If it's technically feasible to do in a way that doesn't slow product development, sure we'd do it, but if it's going to take me months on end and it will largely hinder a lot of what we're trying to build feature wise, then it's not really worth it. I think where pure privacy on that level is important to people they really should pick signal or similar. For me, I think what's more important is, can I trust the people running this platform to host that infrastructure well, to continue to put the community first and to drive maybe an alternative path that a lot of people are about e.g self host the data part. Self hosting comes up a lot but in the context of "I want to host the whole thing", what if it was just, where the data lives. At the same time, we're really thinking consumer first and no consumer wants to host anything, they're quite happy using existing services and E2E is not the first thing they think about, it's the frictionless communication or the features of the service. In the case where the consumer really cares about E2E its because they're doing something they don't want anyone to know about. Saying all this, look if I'm putting my personal details into it, or family photos, etc. I want to know no one is going to see or touch that, but maybe it's as basic as we use AES-256 on the client side and a randomly generated secret, or we just delete the data after 30 days and that's the policy.

I think there are services that really focused heavily on E2E but their goal was purely communication whereas we're sort of pushing towards doing more around community coordination.
That’s what I personally did, I kept an open mind but at the same time kept actively questioning anything and everything, after all, that’s the scientific approach.

Also: downvotes here are kinda cool, I couldn’t care less about it though, I just state my opinion and move on.
> Maybe they have a 100% success rate at blocking actual threats

They don’t.

DOTS is no longer experimental as of 2023; it is now a version 1.0 that can be used in production, though it is still under active development.

Best practices are still being figured out, but since ECS is all about performance, best practices can be measured objectively.

Hmmm, fair point.

Looks like there are around 4000 Tesla Destination Chargers in the US; that shifts the numbers to more like 32:7:2 for J1772:NACS:CSS.
A major limitation for using VR devices as "virtual monitors" has been the screen resolution. Vision Pro appears to have significantly higher resolution than anything available on the market right now; in your experience, was the resolution high enough for the pixels to disappear and not be a distraction, especially when e.g. reading text? Have you used other VR headsets to compare it to?
How can solutions come from the past when we don't even have reliable information about what the past was like? Archaeological data on the lives of pre-Columbian indigenous New World peoples is extremely limited. Even much of what we think we know is probably mistaken, or at least badly distorted by modern biases.
Hmm, I'm not certain, but it seems that fluorine applied to plastic coatings can make them better against oxygen and moisture and probably oils. This process then forms PFAS.
Maybe they mean that it can include control characters that mess up your terminal and make it look like something malicious is happening, which of course is not the same as executing it (and has a warning anyway).
CCS1 is a DC Fast charging plug / protocol. You're not installing that at home.

I have a tesla; I got a cheap charger on amazon and use the j1772 converter that came with my car to charge the car. Another friend, also with a tesla, also does home charging using a "standard" plug and a j1772 adapter. There are even "tesla to j1772" adapters.

The CCS1 plug is enormous and silly. The existing DC fast charging networks tha aren't run by tesla are absurdly bad. They failed because they were setup to drive people away from EVs (seemingly) -- deeply unreliable and expensive and poorly placed.

This whole "Tesla plug standard wins" thing is around DC fast charging and not L2 / AC charging, where the plug barely matters -- everyone will use a cheap passive adapter and move on with their lives (I use an adapter basically everywhere I charge and barely notice)
I don't have problems scrolling in Firefox mobile that I've noticed, and I don't run flagship phones (I'm running a few years old Galaxy A51). I do run uBlock on Firefox Mobile though, which I'm sure helps immensely, so maybe that's the main difference.
Just to be clear, studies also indicate that we will not realistically limit global heating to anything close to 1.5C, unless very drastic actions are taken immediately (actions on a level that would be seen as extremely radical by most people)
The service probably has nothing to do with email and is only tangentially related to eIDAS. At least that is the case in Czech Republic. One surprising fact about such systems is that they tend to produce blockchain-like audit log and predate bitcoin by several years.
None of the existing headsets I've tried has worked out in terms of working setup replacement. If it can replace a desk/monitor and lead to better ergonomics and flexibility, I would pay upwards of 5k for it. I really want Apple to succeed.

Counterweights are already a pretty common thing for existing VR headsets. Some people will strap a battery pack to the back strap of their headsets, and there's enough tethered players looking for plain counterweights that's there's a small cottage industry around custom made heavy metal counterweights.

Here's the one that I bought to use with my "frankenquest" (Vive Deluxe Audio Strap on a Quest 2) setup: https://www.studioformcreative.com/product-page/vive-das-200...
I've been living under various forms of burnout since the Dot Bomb around 2001. The big thing that changed vs 1990s optimism for the future is wealth inequality.

It would be interesting to build a graph of where an individual's productivity goes in the economy..

Say a person earns $100 per day at their job. They actually produced around $400, but that extra money gets skimmed by their employer to cover loss leaders, ads, leases, utilities, administrators, profit, etc. This is the US median individual income of $38,000 divided by (US GDP of $23 trillion divided by 135 million workers = $170,000) = 22% remaining. Then the worker's rent takes $25-50. Debts for education, a vehicle, etc take another $10-25. Utilities, food and other living expenses take the remainder until less than $10 is left. Play with the numbers all you want, at any job anywhere, and this fractionalization of productivity always plays out. So workers have to choose whether to spend the 2.5% of the productivity they get to keep ($10/$400) on saving it or spending it on recreation.

We blame them for spending it on recreation.

Why don't we ask where the other $390 went?

This is the central crisis IMHO, and why I always place blame on the wealthy. Because they have the means to automate the busywork of the economy and free everyone from this exploitation that's been the daily lived reality for nearly all people for thousands of years. But they profit from it, so they never will. They can't, not because they're incapable, but because their attention is focused on ego-based goals. So they buy a yacht or build a rocket rather than building clean water infrastructure, free municipal solar power, mass transit, home hydroponic gardens, basically anything like solarpunk, and wokeism itself. That's why they demonize it.

I think that enough young people have woken up post-pandemic that a shift is inevitable. Away from the centralized control of the wealthy to a distributed resource-based economy that takes capital out of the equation. Which will be some form of "your money's no good here", an homage to the Earth First! and Back to Basics movements of the 70s and early 80s during stagflation. Not that people don't want money, but that their basic needs are fulfilled enough that they don't need to work every day just to survive. The fact that sentence is laughable is maybe the great tragedy of our time.

So I expect a huge backlash to that, and outlandish political maneuvers to do anything except help the average working person. And people will vote for the status quo candidates who promise security, over the ones that could help liberate them from the futility of the workaday world and a "retirement" bereft of savings.
I went through literally every reply in this HN thread and I didn't see anyone defending Microsoft. Two pages as of the time of this writing, I looked at every subthread. And the servers ARE melting down! (But not because of this.)

Are we talking about the same website?
Also, salt. I cooked lunch + dinner for myself for like a month, and now all processed food is just too damned salty.

There was an international agreement to cut salt in processed foods by a few percent a year for a few decades, and all stakeholders emphatically agreed to do it, since there's no real downside.

Of course, nothing happened after that.

The problem is that increasing salt a few percent gives processed food manufacturers a marginal advantage over their competitors since by desensitizes them to salt, and also tastes slightly better in side-by-side comparisons. This leads to a prisoner's dilemma type situation everyone is incentivized to work against their own long term best interests.

Regulation could trivially fix the problem by stopping the arms race, and doing it slowly wouldn't lead to people noticing the reduction.
I have not found any serious alternatives. The main problem is the chicken and egg problem where no one cares unless other people are using it. I created my own alternative as a side project (https://zsync.xyz) with some differences (eg. tags instead of subreddits), but there are no users - and why should there be?

I used to use Reddit pretty heavily, but I stopped when I realized outside a few small use cases it wasn't benefitting my life and was mostly a time sink. I find that HN and Twitter is enough for my "social media" needs.

I do hope we see a better alternative to Reddit though, one focused on fostering high quality. Reddit was like that in 2008-9 when I joined, but in just a few years devolved into the meme dumpster and PC hivemind. The Reddit founders and their investors (cough YC *cough) should be embarrassed. It's like raising a child prodigy with the potential to cure cancer only for that kid to grow up into some grifting alcoholic bum who just smokes weed all day and survives off of fake disability benefits.
Why can posts not be links/URLs? Isn't that a pretty huge part of reddit posts?

When submitting a post, why do I need to come up with a URL like non.io/example-i-made-up? If I leave that blank I would expect it to just assign a random or UUID URL.
On the other hand, the iPad Pros have M1s (M2s?) but so far Apple keeps them constrained.

> I recently had a Dell monitor spaz out. Even powered off and powered back on, it was somehow keeping a (corrupted) image of what it had shown when last plugged in to my laptop. It's unclear how that's possible, but others witnessed it.

Stored in the monitor control board somewhere.

Especially in the VRR era, monitors need to buffer the image in case it needs to be redrawn, or if the transfer rate is faster than the draw rate. Which will be anytime the monitor isn't drawing at max VRR sync speed.
Every page I visit is now a private community... really?
I've been using FF more lately because it has a functioning ad block. Mobile web has become borderline unusable with the amount of ads that get shoved in your face. It's not enough to take up 90% of the screen, it has to pop up autoplay videos with audio over that last 10%.
You underestimate the threat of eco-fascism. By that I don't mean green party politicians, no, I mean literal facists who blame climate change on overpopulation and who believe that the population has to be cut drastically. In the most basic form this would mean closing our borders and making sure nobody can cross illegally by using lethal force, if necessary.
> no one is confused here

Really? I believe that if you put this product in front of 100 average Walmart shoppers (mixed in with other products, some officially-licensed, some not), and asked them which items were "officially licensed", they would likely mostly have believed this toy to be "officially licensed".
It will run 95 just fine, but 98 is a stretch. The "best" hardware it can emulate is a Pentium 1.

Edit: I stand corrected, I guess I am out of date.
The benefit for Tesla is simple and twofold:

1. If CCS took off as the standard (which it was extremely going to), then Tesla having an awkward proprietary charging port makes using a Tesla annoying, and they'd eventually have to transition over to CCS for their cars. It's like Apple having to switch from Lightning to USB-C -- an annoying transition that angers your early customers and makes them feel abandoned.

2. They have a giant network of NACS chargers. To receive federal subsidies, they have been planning to convert those to CCS. The argument they're going to make now -- helped by headlines like this inaccurate one -- is that NACS is the "real" standard, and the government should change the rules so that they subsidize NACS chargers. Then they can continue to make NACS-only chargers that don't support CCS, while taking taxpayer dollars to do so. (The government as of right now still holds the position that CCS is the official standard, and any charger receiving subsidy money needs to support CCS, but will that position hold up with GM and Ford joining Tesla in lobbying for NACS?)
Jetbrains make great IDEs, Codeium isn't half bad as a copilot replacement, and there are other git hosts that are fine too...
Lol, explain this to the average European/global business.

They pay for "the service" to upload their trade secrets and literally everything to Microsft / the USA. OneDrive, SharePoint, Outlook, Teams, etc etc.

And then boast about their high level of "security". The naivity is unbelievable.
I like the new opportunities to reach across the aisle.

It’s kind of fun to see the extremes of both sides get engaged by reality.
If they are old enough to work without hardware video acceleration, then XP inside qemu works. I have several old games that are incredibly far from working in wine, and I have run them this way. They are all late 90s though, and games from that era mostly will work without hardware video acceleration.

I thought proprietary blobs were only "okay" if they were burned into ROMs and thus presented as hardware and not software?

This was an opportunity for Canadian VCs/Investors/Gov to invest heavily on AI talent. This isn't what happened; the majority of capital continues to flow to real state. Lacking investment, banks acqui-hired promising talent/startups, those remaining went to the US and now the AI industry in Canada is on life support.

> A tiny language with only a few, but powerful, features which can be used as building blocks to express even the most advanced patterns.

And yet from the scala 3 website itself :

> One underlying core concept of Scala was (and still is to some degree) to provide users with a small set of powerful features that can be combined to great (and sometimes even unforeseen) expressivity. For example, the feature of implicits has been used to model contextual abstraction, to express type-level computation, model type-classes, perform implicit coercions, encode extension methods, and many more. Learning from these use cases, Scala 3 takes a slightly different approach and focuses on intent rather than mechanism. Instead of offering one very powerful feature, Scala 3 offers multiple tailored language features, allowing programmers to directly express their intent:

> The problem are just the people "holding it wrong".

If enough people have the same problem with a programming language, at one point it become the problem of the language, not the people.

> Just use the best parts of OOP and FP together!

Assuming that one can cleanly extract the best part of OOP and FP without bringing the baggage of eiter. It's not clear to me that those part don't have a certain level of "contradiction" which leads to the whole beeing less coherent than just OOP or FP.
I just came across this walkthrough if you decide to give it a try: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx2H3IV9SG4
Not to derail the thread, but i'm interested in your disagreement. It seemed really restricted for the few moments i played with it.
To be fair all extensions are potentially executable. Extensions are just a mapping to an application maintained by the OS. .com is just mapped to a program that executes by default. File type is a whole different ball of yarn to untangle.

Yeah, if they just dropped image/video hosting on the site, it's just a bunch of text and javascript (aka text), etc. Serving that is extremely cheap. They went from 400 employees in 2019 to 2000 now. I subscribed to Premium for years (not anymore due to their recent actions), and they should absolutely be able to run the site easily on the ~$600M in revenue they make now and be handily profitable.

I think blaming shodan/etc is incorrect - shodans rise in popularity coincided with the rise of cheap, fast bandwidth at VPS providers enabling you to scan real fuckin fast.

It’s much more efficient to just do “zmap | ./exp” than it is to query shodan, get a limited amount of targets, etc.
I like the monetization model and wish you the best of luck.

IIRC, the get paid to post model can make users feel like they are working which can have negative consequences. Deal with that later... hopefully you can get traction/network effect.
^ this can work pretty well with the caveats that:

1. 3D card support is pretty limited - only 3dfx cards, and the voodoo 3 support is fairly buggy

2. you need a pretty solid CPU to use it well.
From the previews people have had so far, I feel like they decided their target was "could plausibly and comfortably replace a computer day 1 even for someone who had never used a VR device before", then went backwards from the hardware needed for that to figure out their price point.
I wish people used CSS for semantic tagging, to take over some of the role that JSON-LD and all the other half-baked standards for adding metadata and annotations to HTML. Why do we have the Rube Goldberg machine called ARIA when we could use CSS attributes to express the same information quite naturally?
