Hands anywhere in space they were visible acted as the primary interface to their ecosystem. The integration was so seamless that it was easy to miss the quantity of processing power and sensors at work.

Spatial computing is actually a good Apple name for this interface as it differentiates from the lower effort products that cost $3,000 less. This draws a line between AR/VR and what Apple is doing which is Spatial Computing. Apple needed to co-ordinate the fundamentals of Human Interface design and production.
When they finally had same they could actually produce that also function they shipped it.

They may still have some scary stuff in store. They just started with truly nasty attacks on the population by blowing up dams. Sure they don't have good troops or supply lines, but WMDs, and especially bio programs, don't need many trips or long supply lines. And are, compared to tanks and aircraft, both cheaper and easier to develop and maintain as part of a massive military expenditure.

Right now, when they are getting more desperate, is getting closer to when Putin may feel compelled to push the red button.

The Rise and Fall of Ashton-Tate
Most "bad" moderators I've encountered could easily be explained by potentially being a stressed, overworked volunteer who takes a lot of shit from assholes all the time.

I think my explanation is at least as plausible as yours with the added benefit of not denigrating an entire group.
Sure, I was only making an analogy -- people refinancing over and over, vaguely like governments pay T-bill interest by issuing more T-bills, where there's no expectation that the principal can ever really get paid back.

I was about to mention Fannie and Freddie as a footnote about how the government might be involved in all this, but didn't think it was a big deal. Yet Google tells me they end up buying 70% of mortgages. So there's some flow here that I'd do well to understand.
How so? I’m serious.

Nearly every person on the planet has a phone in their pocket. People use these screens for hours a day. Companies and governments track everything you do. Whatever world you are afraid of is already here.
> People aren’t stupid, and they aren’t as docile as you think.

People have a very short attention span and a very low level of commitment if they're not directly impacted. Remember the outrage about Musk on Twitter? It's all but died down. Or the various attempts to create some alt-right social networks.

People don't have an obvious other place to go, and the majority of the community of /r/whatever will just go to /r/whatever-else.

For an autonomous IC who does not need to lead or contribute to thinks like whiteboarding, strategy discussions, client visits, etc, that is true.

There are jobs where in-person is just better, full stop. Remote can be accommodated, but it is not always exclusively about what the employee prefers.
I also agree that the CIA has been completely reformed and all wrongdoing was in the past; it really doesn't make any sense to examine their conduct too closely today, that just makes everyone's life worse. I would also like to note that myself and my family are not under duress but unfortunately cannot make physical appearances at the moment.

Hmm typically I've heard the phrase existential risk alongside a qualifying / local scope phrase.

The Three Transitions
No, we’ve got a good thing going obviously. We have a nice big peaceful border, they send us celebrities and artists, and we will absolutely demolish any country that fucks with them.

> I will mostly have to take your word for it that hover actions are not observable by the application. Will make games... More amusing than usual, with no memory of being looked at for characters.

It's described in the Keynote. This is the exact quote:

"For example, where you look is very personal. It can give away something about what you're thinking. In Apple Vision Pro, where you look stays private. Eye input is isolated to a separate background process, so apps and websites can't see where you are looking. Only when you tap your fingers do results get communicated, just like a mouse click or tap on other Apple devices."

I can't speak to whether extra controllers are a good idea for Apple. From the impressions I have watched and read from VR enthusiasts (e.g, Norm from Tested) they have very high praise for the input and UI. I agree with you, however. I don't think typical VR games will be big on this device
I would be more inclined to make it so that it is possible for people to buy apps without forcing them to link credit cards or other uncontrolled money withdrawals. I know this would ban those "credit card required for free trial" scams - and I consider every single one of those to be outright fraud. People should not have to spend all of their attention defending themselves from predators.
I have played around with this a bit and it does actually work. I think it is similar to when people tell you to “think creatively”. It doesn’t actually mean anything, but it can change you internal biases for what you say.

Thats a bit like objecting to talking negatively about chemo. Sure it can treat cancer, but it would be better if it wasn't needed at all.
I don't think there's anything Reddit could do at this point to not let it be a PR disaster. That includes changing their stance. What they're doing is so egregious, naming and shaming and lying about people who brought immense value to the community for years. All out of misguided greed.
Almost as if it's been designed that way.
Evidently not, since that's already a motivation that isn't sufficient to get enough people actually doing the work - and if anything, Reddit taking the step of unilaterally usurping community leaders for not being profitable enough would only reduce the perceived power of a moderator position.
The deaths and the life altering consequences of unknown diseases on countless people appear to be the result of undisclosed secret experiments by their own government.

No accountability, no payments to surviving family members nor those directly affected. Just "toys" to be played with and discarded at will. When people seek justice, just lots of gaslighting and bureaucracy in return.
I don't mean to brush Reddit with broad strokes, but I have to insist mine is a common experience. It is almost certainly true that if you stick to a few "sophisticated" subreddits and comment conservatively (both in frequency and in content), you'll rarely or never encounter the toxic traits of Reddit.

This could well be the case, but to be honest I'm not too concerned by that. So in short, it may not be a well engineered product, but it seems to do its job well enough which is all I really care about as a user.

My usage pattern is to run it on a workstation (usually my personal workstation or laptop) and take the result and put it somewhere useful. It's not a perpetually running process or something I'd run on, say, a production machine where any bloat could produce meaningfully negative results. Those results are also not something I'm too worried about for things like bloated web pages or so... at least insofar as the audience for that result is fairly limited and the user experience isn't something I see as hurting usability. Any extra time it takes doing its job because of any inefficiency doesn't really impact me either; once I'm at a point I can set it running on a database, I haven't found it to be terribly long running, I don't run it often, and usually I can just do other stuff while it's running (a few minutes or so).

I haven't found anything open source that produces as good a result and its commercial competitors aren't any better in any sufficiently meaningful way... unless you want to start talking about database documentation being integrated into larger, consolidated requirements/documentation tools.

If anything I'm pleased that someone did pick up the maintenance and that new database features and the like have some hope of being supported... and without maintenance the result -would- eventually come to suffer as things in the database world moved on.
Maybe, but then what's the point of discussing this.
Well, I can't be bothered to edit wikipedia, but it's a confusing claim. Dependent typing does not require runtime information, results can be produced at compile time. The dependent type depends on a value, but the interesting property of the value is independently tracked in the type system, it's not retrieved from runtime information.

The gist of how it works is so:

createEmptyIntList() => List<size=0, content=int> {...}
push(List<size=a, content=b>) => List<size=a+1, content=b> {...}
firstElement(List<size=a, content=b> | a > 0) => b {...}

In this example, you don't need to know runtime values, you need to know that you can safely get the first element. For that, you just need to know that something has been pushed at least once in the list.

Since push returns a type that is different from createEmptyList, your typesystem has this information.
That sounds cool...but Afghanistan and Vietnam were proxy wars, where the U.S. decided that holding onto a basket-case country was not worth the cost. And the actual military defeats occurred after the U.S. forces were gone.

American Revolution was not actually "Pilgrims against Britain", it was one of the western theaters in the Anglo-French(-Spanish) War.
Thank you! You gave me an important insight that Reddit is more of a multi-sided market than service providers of open email infrastructure are. But to be specific what would Reddit (or its purported replacement) need to do? Revenue sharing with authors of poplar posts and comments? Admins of popular subreddit? A la YouTube?
TypeScript/Javascript are the modern PHP or Java of the world. It's something that people get pushed into it from school and their "first intro to programming", they often succeed through the meme of the language.

>I doubt that #2 is really any different than if you are unmotivated while in the office

ok but I know from my own experience that #2 can be really different. And really I don't understand how anyone could doubt it - in the office if you are unmotivated you have a limited range of things you can do to pass the time. at home there is no limitation.

At some point in the office it becomes reasonable to just do the work and get it over with.

The differences with in person are that conversations have a much higher fidelity. There can be spontaneous multiple conversations going in the same room which is impossible virtually without spinning up another videoconf session, people leaving, people re-joining, etc. So it really is much better for brainstorming and doing the “figure things out” mode of software engineering. Once you’ve figured things out, the implementation can be dome remotely.

Sharing meals during this time together also helps build relationships and trust within a team. I mean as you work, or even offsite at a restaurant - go out to breakfast or lunch during the work day.

Cognitive science is the term I am using to distinguish from classical psychology. Cognitive science very much is psych.

Your argument hinges on out-of-date notions and false distinctions.

Again, if you were actually curious about psychology, you’d want to engage with the scientific psychology literature instead of putting on blinders and insisting that the psychoanalytic tradition is the only relevant one. I’m left to conclude that you’re more interested in looking down your nose at a field you don’t respect than actually understanding anything.

Let us know if that changes. I’m always happy to point you towards the interesting literature in whatever subfield you’re curious about.

Show HN: Numari – An Original Number Puzzle
Numari is a number puzzle aimed at audiences who like games like Sudoku, Kakuro, or 2048. Here is a short video preview of what the gameplay is like: https://youtu.be/YRF0e7xroe0

I created this puzzle a few months ago and got some really great feedback when I shared it. The verdict was that the game itself was fun, but the graphics and sound needed improving. I've spent the last few months updating the visuals and sound effects and would love to hear your thoughts on it!
Are they actually stray, or just allowed to run loose?

Friends of mine have a farm in central VA. There is a pack of dogs that crosses their property, but they aren't truly stray - one of the neighbors "owns" them (I use "owns" loosely, as they aren't kept as house pets in the normal suburban sense of the word).
There are a few around and they sound awesome in person. I've seen two different ones, one at a local (well local to where I lived 10 years ago) community theatre, which had some big name organists give a concert. One at a private residence because the owner was member of a music club i'm in (mbsi.org, but there are others).

The later I was allowed inside while it was playing, an experience to not forget.

> But to be specific what would Reddit (or its purported replacement) need to do?

To make money? It might be impossible. You can't just put ads up on text like you can with video and expect everyone to come anyways. Very little that Reddit does is unique, and they could easily be replaced by a community-maintained alternative. Nothing that users currently love about Reddit is impossible to find elsewhere.

So, the age of Reddit being monitizable may be over. It's already been "over" for traditional print media's transition[0], it wouldn't be surprising if Reddit discovered that making money off forums at-scale is a snipe chase.

There was a 4x4 machine, but it was pushing the power supplies to their extreme limits. Not many were sold.

Edit: You got the -PLUS suffix by adding the Unix processor, of which there could be only one, so the largest configuration would be a LAMBDA-4x4-PLUS having four Lisp processors (and consoles) sharing a Unix.
I agree that Reddit is borderline unusable in its mobile website, and the official app is ad-ridden, but 3rd party apps (the ones they're trying to kill) are fine.

I find HN a royal pain on mobile tbh. Everything clickable is so small.
> there are several instances where policies differ

For now, but if this is how the maintainers of the main instance feel, how long before they start defederating from instances without their strict policies? Isn't that already happening on Mastodon?

The fediverse ends up really confusing because it gets so balkanized. "One domain, one community" is easy to understand. "We're all seeing the same stuff no matter where you are" is easy to understand. But with defederation as an option, you have to navigate a complicated web of the meta social network—the network of networks, and who federates with who.

Email doesn't have this problem so much because ideology is not a concern for private messaging. You have spam and you have anticompetitive behavior, but you don't have "random guy who happens to maintain the instance had a falling out with the random guy maintaining this other instance."
Surely Mike Lindell would have purchased millions worth of advertisements!
Yes.

Assuming you're working with a quality VM and drivers, development speed is also improved. A lot of low level details have already been worked out in the VM thus freeing the programmer to work at a higher level.
To me it is obvious:

Most of the FAMAG is concerned about advertising (Apple the least, but still), while life nowadays is all about signal to noise. The bandwidth is there, 24/7 connectivity is there, wrt smartphones. Its the noise which can be reduced further, which would increase productivity. What is noise? Stuff you don't want to see, suggestions, lower priority vs higher priority (ie. what is really important to you vs clickbait), and, yes: advertising.

If I could just block all advertising with a AR/VR glasses I'd easily shell out 1k EUR every 2 years for the hardware (not 3k, but YMMV as I don't earn a Netflix dev wage). In fact, perhaps a good UI on it could replace a smartphone. Except, the smartphone UI is going to be in (comparison) mature, its very unlikely a new hardware interface is going to be great right away. Smartwatch needed time (and cannot replace smartphone full-time at all), smartphone needed time (vs desktop/laptop, see mid '00s before capacitive touch), foldables are going to fill the niche which tablets/phablets provide, and now we got a hardware UI like this released by Apple (yes, I'm aware of predecessors including Meta/Facebook Quest, Magic Leap, and Google Glass). Also, it has the disadvantage of being visually omnipresent to others. A Google Glass is much less obvious. And yeah, walking around in Amsterdam with OSM AR (no, not Google) for all the buildings but without all the advertising would (after transition period) be a massive, massive plus to me. Add Wikipedia on top of it, with TTS and voice input pivoted towards my own voice as a bonus. Heck, I wouldn't even mind if I could just blacklist certain buildings like Nutella bars and red light distract. Yes, I can see it as a future, but not by FAMAG (Musk isn't sane enough; it'd be someone sane with deep pockets who's not into advertising).
