Lots of it is about the execution.

I went through 2 PCVR headsets and I'd never think: oh this is going to be mainstream (in the present state!).

Those headsets are not comfortable (sweaty); the hardware needed for anything realistic is top tiers; it takes PhD/time to configure (and goes out of sync!); the software ecosystem was(is?) not super stable; the interaction (controllers, tracking) is sometimes awkward (controllers are big, interfere with keyboard and real world). Often it small things like comfortable physical head position vs. position in VR world are not "lined up"

We'd laugh that it takes as much time to get into the VR plane simulator as to drive to the airport to fly real plane!

Compare a VR kit to a monitor pair, or a game controller (imo VR is kind of a cross of the 2) - both are mostly plug an play.
They've done it before, shouldn't be a surprise at this point.
I understood the value of money before 10 because my parents gave me like 1$ a week to buy candies and I can tell you you need to budget real good if you want them to last until sunday
I think the Developer of the app is frustrated.
In my view, yes, nihilism sucks. But making the point that evolution means change is fair. Trying to keep everything as-is forever is fundamentally unnatural and impossible and I don't think that is what conservation should be about.
I meant that driving trains doesn't require oil, while people driving cars does. Hence your country is bleeding capital every time somebody drives.

The whole train infrastructure is very self sufficient in Germany and they indeed export trains and tracks and all associated technology all over the place too, hence the term "oversufficient".
Somebody will need to make a page that shows us when Reddark goes dark.
I think every technology advances first, but then reaches a plateau. We build lots of houses, but they're not getting cheaper. Computers still are, but not as dramatically as they did during the 1990s (I think that's going to reach a plateau at some point). It's quite possible that nuclear has plateau'd.
Maybe it's the chaotic neutral talking here but I reckon mods going on strike for two days while leaving the subs public would show just how important they are to Reddit Inc. and why their unpaid work still has a cost to the company.
The Fediverse, in being used as a venue for an entertaining Torvalds rant, has now truly come of age.
Mark P. Mills [1] may be a number of things but he is absolutely not by any means a "mining industry insider".

He is a senior fellow for a think tank that claims as axiomatic that the popular conception of climate change as posing an existential threat to modern civilization is not supported by climate science or economics.

It comes as no surprise that he repeatedly makes presentations aimed to undercut transition to green energy.

Regardless of the truth of his position though he is clearly no expert on the mining industry.

Oh its worse. During the pandemic and crypto craze video cards were simply untouchable, but I managed to score aPS5 at close to MSRP.

And guess what… after 3 years without a gaming pc I got used to going to the console first.
Someone sent me this link today which is Meta's & Apple's competing visions for the office of the future: https://twitter.com/DachshundColin/status/166645973389976371...

Why are they so obsessed with office metaphors? It's like the very early shopping websites which were basically virtual shops or shopping malls. These companies have thousands of people working on this problem, and VR Microsoft Bob is the best they can come up with?
Startups are know for their ability to generate innovative ideas and challenge existing norms.
I’ve found them (historically) to be a massive waste of time for everyone involved tbh, as both manager and managed person.

I found when I managed people, lighter touch management got me better results.

As a person being managed, again lighter touch works better - I can focus more on delivering actual results/value than “having something to fill a meeting”.

I guess maybe it’s of value for juniors or people new to a place?
Not just spare capacity for emergencies. Think about how many times an engineer came up with a good idea how to make some part of the process smoother, faster, less error-prone.

It's usually in some phase of the project where there's not too much to do or deliver. But these small gains are necessary for everything to work well then the pressure is on a month or two later.

You don't get this if you're always at capacity and have no time to think.
what you are missing is:
1. Keeping the hydrogen at high pressure requires a lot of energy.
2. Hydrogen produces H2O in gas form, which in itself it is still a greenhouse gas.
3. True, hydrogen can be produced by "green" technologies, but what is the energy lost throughout the procedure? It is quite a loss (about 20%).

Moreover, it is theoretically viable to produce all electric energy via renewables, albeit impracticle and 100 years away. Thus, I can't see how saying that """EVENTUALLY""" hydrogen might be renewable is good for the environment.

Hydrogen is good for a very niche part of our production system (and spoiler it is not car industry or house heating where better alternatives already exist[1][2]).

> 'm a bit confused by this as I'm used to seeing the opposite complaint, that Rust packages are too small.

By "packages" here you're probably referring to the public crates on crates.io, right?

Indeed, those public crates are not big in general, but that's not the point of the article. The article is rather talking about large, multi-crate projects, organized as a Cargo workspace. I agree it could have been clearer in the article.
I agree with you, and that's why I listed some missing things that would help it to be a Reddit replacement.

Regarding mobile clients, there are at least a few third party mobile clients on both Android and iPhone that work quite well.
Ha but the modem would not make you feel sick!
>Ask your mother if she's ever heard of Symbian phones...

Ask your mother if she's heard of Variable Valve Timing or the equivalent for her brand of car OR ask her if she knows Linux or... for that matter ask yourself if you know the OS on Nokia 3310? Most mothers don't even know what a OS is.

Edit: The OS is called "Series 40".
It's not to free the hands. The primary reason to go for this interface is comfort and ergonomics. Holding up your hands in the air for prolonged amounts of time is hard. We use keyboards and mice because we can rest our hands with them.

Apple's approach avoids that and lets your eyes do the selection, while still using your fingers for the clicking, thus giving you the responsiveness you are used to (i.e. no weird "hover over icon for one second to active").

Also according to people that tested it, it feels extremely natural, basically like mind reading, since the moment you look at something, you can click it. There is no separate step where you have to look at something and then also have to navigate your laser pointer over it to activate it.

As for passthrough, I think that will become extremely useful and commonly used when combined with the depth sensor, as it allows you to partly fade in and out pieces of reality. You can have a virtual office on the moon, but the desk in front of you, is still your actual real desk, while all the displays on it are virtual.
Forget 5.1 or Atmos. Your home theater needs Harman & Kardon "gun + ringtone" cabinet.
I think it's too early to complain about censorship. Moda are still probably adjusting to what is acceptable, and there are several instances where policies differ. Same as turning down whole of Reddit because one subreddit has strict moderation.

Regarding the business model, there isn't any. At best it will be run by donations if the costs mount top high. I'm curious to see where it will go, but at least there are no ads at least not yet.
From the point of a rational organisation it doesn't make sense either. Do it half-way and you end up with everyone on video calls to people who aren't there; do it fully and you're overpaying for the space because, yes, really, it's colossally inefficient to have everyone on-site when they don't need to be.

Weirdly it also doesn't make sense to give people full flexibility to pick when to be on-site, though - at least, not from the point of view of their role within the larger organisation. Yes, you want them to be able to choose to be on-site when someone they need to work with is there, but also there needs to be a mixing function: as their boss you need to be ensuring that they are physically proximate to functions they haven't previously interacted with. You don't need much of this, but the main benefit of on-site working is discovery, not collaboration within an existing framework. And without a certain amount of curation that's unlikely to happen by accident. When two people get chatting in the kitchen, you need one of them, at least, to have that spark of recognition that says "Ah ha! Your thing is relevant to my thing!" because that's the fundamental innovation and discovery driver.

What's happening is that the bosses are leaning on random chance to do that curation job. I think that for most organisations it's very, very unlikely to be doing a good enough job to compensate for the downsides, but it also explains why the 37Signals approach of getting everyone in the building together at once works for them. That's still relying on randomness, but it's stacking the deck. Or rather, un-stacking it. If you allow people to pick which day a week, say, they come into the office, you'll get the Monday people, the Thursday people, and ne'er the twain shall meet. With everyone on-site at once, there's at least a chance a natural Monday will meet with a natural Thursday and produce an outcome that wouldn't have happened otherwise.
Army tested 'germ warfare' on NYC subway (2015)
"This test was one of at least 239 experiments conducted by the military in a 20-year "germ warfare testing program" that went on from 1949 to 1969. These experiments that used bacteria to simulate biological weapons were conducted on civilians without their knowledge or consent."

Herbal teas can be a good solution.

Please note that herbal teas do not usually contain tea leaves, so they don’t contain caffeine.

I was in a similar situation with coffee consumption (at a certain age I realised that consuming coffee after say 3pm disrupted my sleep) and i looked at this kind of products.

The good news is that the world of infusion is very large and there is a lot of variety… for example i now often drink a mint based herbal tea, sometimes with honey, and it’s very nice even when cold.
I'm a relatively new r/ user and I can't understand your, and many previous, comments that call reddit some variation of 'shit', and 'toxic'.

Where's the shit and the toxicity?
Decoupling Reasoning from Observations for Efficient Augmented Language Models
This clearly about vision, the fact that apple make this 4k and you being able to read text, thats it. It is “stamp display” but if it feels real, whatever software environment develops around its for time to tell. Our “Metaverse” already exists in the stories we tell/produce on social media/news paper/reela/etc how eventually this augments or extend to reality i don't think we know as i still love to print pictures of trips but also like to watch my drone/go pro videos big on the TV. Sure, a “Metaverse” made of comic like characters because your hardware (quest) dont match want the world sees is an arguing excuse for the lack of hardware innovation. Apple well its brave and also a strong brand to put this to sell for 3k and it should deliver. I just know that i wont be buying a TV in while…
Yeeaasss, but so is a lathe or a kiln or a chainsaw.

I don't know if OpenAI has actually confirmed what hardware they use or if the press and bloggers did citeogenesis on each other, but the claim is they're using A100 GPUs, and the bigger models have to use several in parallel. I've seen detached houses in Eastern Europe going for the price of two of those cards.

The DGX-2 is (was?) priced more like a detached house in Western Europe; the GH200 they just announced appears to be "if you have to ask, you can't afford it".

This is similar to how, despite that lathes, kilns, and chainsaws can be bought in supermarkets as impulse purchases, industrial versions of each are rather more expensive.
> Managers should make time for team members whenever they need it, and team members should be free to ask.

This would be ideal and if the managers only job is to manage a team, this has never been the case for me though. Management has always just been an added responsibility for me. Generally I'm doing the same work as the team + managing the team so I'm not just sat around waiting for someone to come to me with something they need help with.

Additionally, I have had rare cases where team members won't ask for help when they do need it, it's not easy for some people to admit they are struggling. If you just wait for them to come to you, it's often when they reach breaking point. In these cases a regular time slot to catch up is useful.

There really is no right or wrong, you can't manage everyone with a set template. Some people are independent and like to be left alone, some thrive off feedback loops, others enjoy the social aspect of a 1:1 and will spend it telling you about their weekend or just getting to know you better.

What works for me is setting the 1:1s and making it it clear they can be cancelled by the team member if they want.
Facebook's API model used to be the app can see everything you can see. Resulting in fun apps like friendship graphs, interest similarity scores, photo collage generators. Basically, features from a Facebook Labs team that doesn't exist.

Then Cambridge Analytica scooped up all the profile data of all of your friends when you completed a fun Buzzfeed style quiz and that created enough outrage to change it.

Whether Cambridge Analytica was actually able to make any use of this data to "subvert democracy" is very debatable. If you look into it, it's just how they marketed themselves.
I used to drink coffee a lot. Multiple espressos a day. I went cold turkey and now I drink water.

That's a whole lot of equals signs.

Typos aside, this all looks really amazing!

Although by no means sound, the ergonomics of TypeScript's type system are phenomenal. Really glad to see additional use cases beyond traditional JS runtimes.

"The only thing with arch that is blocking a non-techy/fiddle-unfriendly person is the installation process "

I think your definition of "non-techy/fiddle-unfriendly" is quite different from the rest of the population.

Also note, that just because you happened to had months of no problems, that does not mean it will be the same experience for someone else. Speaking of it: for a non-techy person, using the terminal is already a problem.

Among other factors: humidity, even at modest levels, means frost and ice accumulation in any spaces with a thermal gradient.

Given that there's a roughly 150F / 85C temperature differential from the inside (assuming ~70F / 20C interior temperature, and -70F / -55C exterior), and that it never thaws, this means frost/ice accumulation is probably a major structural hazard. Even if it was possible to humidify interior spaces, it might be avoided for that reason.

(I'm of course speculating, though based on discussion of PassivHaus designs in Fairbanks Alaska and the attention paid to moisture, vapour barriers, and frost accumulation, as well as an earlier article I believe linked to HN showing the cold food storage at ASSPS which included massive amounts of accumulated frost, and that I suspect just from moisture contributed by the breathing of occupants / workers within the cold (ambient) storage structure.)
How did it happen that the vast majority of “professional managers” don’t read anything about how to be good managers, and basically have no qualifications other than “well, somebody promoted me to management before, probably for political reasons, and I have this authoritative sounding voice..”

The solution to nuclear waste is simple. Build a single warehouse in the desert somewhere and keep it there until we use it as fuel later in breeder reactors. The waste is already in concrete casks. You basically just need a concrete pad for them to sit on. Hell, just build it at Area 52 or something. Or the existing WIPPS site where military nuclear waste is disposed of. It was originally meant for civilian waste as well anyways.

Lets say you insist we bury perfectly good U238. Fine, just expand WIPPs a bit. Or we can use deep borehole disposal to bury it several km underground in a seismically stable location. Done. No monitoring necessary. We know this will be fine because nature formed natural nuclear reactors in the ground billions of years ago and the 'waste' has moved less than a meter in billions of years. The dangerous part of the waste (fission products) will be gone in a few hundred years anyways. What is left after that needs to be ground up and eaten to be dangerous.

>1000 mg per kg body weight

1g/kg body weight daily of ANYTHING is A LOT. 0.1% of your entire bodyweight.

What's interesting is I checked Wikipedia and found:

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

>accounts for up to 0.1% of total human body weight

>The mean daily intake from omnivore diets was determined to be around 58 mg

So this study is adding the entire amount found in a typical human's bodyweight every day.
I don't think being forced to ride public transit could ever improve my quality of life.
I just tried feeding GPT-4 some assembler as well, and while I did get it to make some optimisations, I also had to point out several mistakes it made (e.g. it moved one instruction to the other side of a label that'd cause a register to have the wrong value if a preceding branch was taken). It made mistakes that I've seen people new to assembler make, but happened to get some things right. When I pointed out an obvious optimisation it had missed, it applied it "half right" (I suggested it might look at collapsing multiple stack allocations because they didn't overlap, but while it collapsed them into a single allocation, it applied the sum of the allocations instead of just the largest one, which was a pointless increase in stack use). Also the kind of misunderstanding I could see with a junior dev with little assembly experience fall for if they recognise what you point to but don't quite understand the implications.

It's "close enough" to be worth trying to see if it hits on something useful, but also bad enough that you really need to carefully scrutinise what it comes up with, and probably need to write a much more comprehensive prompt about strategies it should and shouldn't try to apply to make it more generally usable.
My original post includes "there doesn't seem to be a compelling reason for ignoring it". I'm not arguing for tradition for tradition's sake.

I don't think using = instead of define/defun/defn has a compelling reason. Clojure's use of [], {}, #(), etc., is compelling to me. I'm not a Lisp purist who thinks everything should be parentheses. Adding that syntax is helpful for the reader.

Innovation is welcome when it's beneficial. = for assignment isn't.

The correct formula is remote with team summits but FAANG is too cheap and dysfunctional to manage that. Travel is cancelled due to perpetual "headwinds" and the budget is strictly used by high level middle management to bounce around the world and vigorously agree with each other.
