Except for software dev workflows, I think iPad/iOS app ecosystem is a more viable laptop replacement than the Linux app ecosystem.

They claim full desktop office suite support, but it won’t run Excel. iPad runs Excel - and Logic and Final Cut and Photoshop and Affinity Designer and Outlook and…

But regardless, VP is clearly positioned as a laptop display replacement, which is I think more realistic; iPhone can also be a laptop replacement (it is for many iOS users who don’t have computers) but realistically many people find a lot of value in both computing paradigms.
https://github.com/Hopac/Hopac is such an impressive piece of software. Too bad it never really took off like it deserved but with more popular competition like rx or just tasks/async (which is enough for most stuff) pretty unavoidable.
I read parent as looking for sources that provide access to hi-res satellite imaging, without them needing to provide access to their wallet.
> It’s not google thats getting worse, it’s the overall internet

It's also that google is getting worse. It has been slowly declining in quality for a very long time.
Anyone knows how come this post does not appear not even in the top 150 submissions in the HN frontpage?
That seems reasonable. I found the digikey list bom export tool the other day and it looked awfully close but it was using the value for the part number because that's where I usually put them (with real values for passives). So it did pretty well for my special ICs but then had a bunch of like "10k" part names.

But okay, I have ten different resistor values but they're all the same symbol and package. Is there a field you know of where I could put a list of validated part number options for a given refdes? It sounds tedious but if it were connected with a search engine it would be no worse than altium.
Oh the town is big enough that there are 4-5 supermarket sites. It’s just that it’s vons, pavilions, Albertsons, etc all owned by the same parent company which has made the choice for all of us that we don’t need to actually fill shelves with items or maintain a quality of product. In that respect, late stage Capitalism looks a lot like poorly formed Communism where a small cabal of people make wide impact decisions for others with no feedback.
I think he means the occult, not theology.
I'll counter your appeal to authority with my own. Most "founders" are idiots with mental issues and there are no AI inventors. The letter was signed by people with vested interests or mids like Eliezer Yudkowsky who have never made a single thing their lives.

Serious AI scientists have already said that these new models are not capable of reasoning and we should be OK as long as Lawyers don't use GPT to create legal arguments and the government doesn't plug "AI" into the systems managing the nuclear arsenals. In other words the danger to humanity has always been our own stupidity. No AI is coming to eat us. The entire doomer movement is an outbreak of daddy issues/oedipus complex at a massive scale.
Very nice! A lot of cool features. I can't wait to playt with it. Maybe it will let me abandon my own project that is a baby version of what you've built: https://glanced.me
I suspect that most of the knowledge on this topic is embedded in source code of most prominent compiler tool chain and the head of their dev.

I think they might an interesting intersection here we ML, where can could learn the comment mistake pattern made by real user and either error correct better, or at least provide pin point accurate error messages.
Always base the probability on something stable, such as hash of the username.
Ehhh... to put a more positive stance out there: this is absolutely the time to be looking for capital if you plan to make lots of these things in a reasonable timeframe. Doing that simply costs far too much for anyone not already a near-billionaire.

Apple just validated their market, which reduces a lot of worries about its long-term viability, and may kick off a big wave of highly-funded competition. It very well may become "keep up or die", and using your existing lead is often your best tactic.
I hope this is finally a wakeup call to Google to try to start to prioritize non reddit user content on the internet again. Web forums have been suppressed by their results for ages now and Google's choice to do that has been a big part of what killed the internet.
You may discover that once you take money your specific interest is no longer the focus.
Nice cherry, did you pick it yourself?
I prefer the less disparaging, "Well, I'm going to check it in anyway" and as a bonus, it doesn't directly acknowledge the existance of other people.
Agreed. He’s unnecessarily conflating “fast” and “bad”. Often times people move quickly because they know what they’re doing, not because they’re mindlessly flailing.

The attempt to characterize the two traits as inseparable is like drawing a picture of a <demographic_x> robbing a store and showing it to people like “See how awful <demographic_x> is?”. There’s no actual evidence, it’s just a baseless assertion.
Maybe they will team up with OVH
This makes think of those YouTube channels that are a live loop of the night sky. You'll often see them around annual meteor showers. There is usually a countdown that says "best view in 34 minutes." The live video accumulates views, and people stick around for the 34 minutes. Then the countdown resets, people get mad and leave, then a new crop rolls in. It is stupid, but big nod for the troll.

The same tactic would probably work with a Betelgeuse Live View Channel, except "best view" would be between 640 and 10,000 years.
> I strongly agree with the commentator who likened the hierarchal folder structure to the physical world, it’s a much more direct mapping of how human memory actually works.

But the physical world isn't hierarchical at all. It's spatial. It's much more like a graph than a tree where there are usually multiple paths between any two points.

If you have to pick up your kid from school and stop at the grocery store for milk on the way home from work, you probably do not:

1. Drive to school and get kid.

2. Drive back to work.

3. Drive to grocery story to get milk.

4. Drive back to work.

5. Drive home from work.

Or:

1. Drive to school and get kid.

2. Drive to grocery story to get milk.

3. Drive back to school.

4. Drive back to work.

5. Drive home from work.

If the physical world was hierarchical, all navigation through multiple waypoints would look like this kind of stack pushing and popping.
>Critique #1: Apple included almost no hard specs on the headset's visual capabilities (PPD or FOV).

>Critique #2: The Vision Pro seems to be built on top of Apple's iPad/iPhone ecosystem, which could hinder it from becoming a true PC/laptop replacement.

These are both indicators and flexes of Apple's strengths. Apple doesn't want to tell users what the hard specs are on their headset. Not because they're trying to deceive the user, but because they don't want the user to care. They don't want the experience to be hampered by comparisons to other products or considerations of "how real" the experience can be. They want it to be it's own experience. An experience where the conversation isn't ever "Which programs can I run on this..." or "how fast does it go?" because it's holistic. A big confirmation of this is how often Apple compares its products to their predecessors instead of competitor products.
> For the other 99.99% of hourly/salary workers in the US, trying to negotiate specific terms in an at-will state will only end with you being crossed off the hire list.

That's fine. You just said that anything else in the given scenario would have you being taken advantage of, so you would want the agreement to be rejected if they cannot commit to those terms.

Remember, this is, in the end, no different than the earlier suggestion that if all a company sees is a short-term hiring opportunity during a temporary boom that they should not hire at all. The long-term job you want doesn't exist either way. You haven't lost anything.

> I'll reiterate: the US is almost all "at will states".

Sure. And I'll reiterate that you can negotiate your own contractual terms. Yes, that does mean some people won't want to work with you, but that's okay because why would you want to work for someone that is taking advantage of you?

To recognize a bad deal upfront, accept it anyway, and then cry foul later is nonsensical.
Yeah, the wework hate is getting a bit out of hand. They (well, co-working spaces) added uniformity, predictability, and an international footprint to a legacy business of renting office space.
Apple already showed you can bring your Mac screens into the Vision Pro. Unfortunately I don't think anyone is going to be able to compete with the frontier hardware leaders right now on desktop computing, since we're at the point where you really do need the best-in-class hardware to make it work.

The other big elephant in the room for SimulaVR is Valve. Valve is working on a standalone headset, and it probably runs Linux. It's probably going to be open enough that you could get a Linux desktop environment running on it, and I'm sure many people will work on that for free. It's going to be tough for SimulaVR to survive.
Kind of a strange name, but I like it.
These guys seem cool, but if you're going to attack Apple, "it runs Apple's locked-down OS!" and "they don't provide hardware specs!" are not the avenues to go with. These are the exact same problems people have been berating Apple for for years/decades, and the market has repeatedly and decisively demonstrated that it doesn't give a shit.

I’m not and haven’t been looking for work so take this with a grain of salt but from what I’ve seen there are openings but there’s a lot of competition for them. On top of that at $CURRENT_EMPLOYER, a San Francisco based tech company, we have been hiring but almost entirely exclusively from outside of the US. It’s simply too expensive to hire US based engineers when Canadians are much cheaper but just as effective and in the same time zones.

EDIT: I imagine US engineering demand will ramp back up once competition for Canadian engineers gets too fierce or with companies that absolutely demand in-office workers
Yeah, that's the answer I expected, too, particularly based on Apple's video of the MacBook going black and the desktop moving to the headset. They already have the ability to broadcast a display (not even the primary) to an iPad or AppleTV, so surely the Vision Pro can receive that broadcast as well, and now you've got 1-or-many desktop windows in addition to whatever native apps exist.
The patents all expired in ~2013ish. ZSTD uses arithmetic encoding and is well on it's way to replacing gzip since it's usually faster and smaller.
My experience is quanty people (I'm one also) have too much confidence in their answers.

To make good predictions, you need to make good estimates AND understand what your confidence in your estimate should be.
In this context, I think the term 'ignorant' seems likely to be employed to convey a repugnant belief rather than a state of overall lack of knowledge.

Replace 'ignorant' with 'climate change denialism' or whatever belief you might find abhorrent.

I'm confident that you are fully correct. I also believe that many of us were just looking for good alternatives and needed the correct motivation. Maybe there's another Orkut out there and we can truly dialogue once again.
What you are saying is that there is some implicit transfer of money from the rich to the poor. If that is the case why worry about inequality or unemployment? Why are there well off people ascribing to Austrian economics who insist on saving money instead of assets?

I question this idea because it makes no sense to me.

1. because those rich people who currently hold stocks will switch to interest bearing accounts the moment it makes sense, so looking at what they do today isn't enough.

2. because for rich people to buy overpriced stocks off poor people, those people would have to own stocks in the first place.

3. There is significant evidence that major companies are net lenders and therefore their owners are also indirect net lenders.

4. Rich people have more of everything, including money.

There is not much data about it but there is data about cash holding and it shows a simple relationship of rich people having more cash, duh.

https://www.bundesbank.de/resource/blob/854038/6a6978bac2e4d... Page 19

5. Poor people's most valuable asset is their own healthy body and mind which is a highly illiquid asset. If you ignore this asset it will look like poor people keep the vast vast majority of their wealth as money, which is true but also misleading because having a job is a much greater source of income for them which is not worth giving up for a few percent of interest. Of course I am assuming excessive interest rates here, high enough to cause widespread unemployment, but the rich do want them and they don't care if people end up unemployed.
> However rust versions everything.

I chuckled a little, after all, GCC isn't versioned and there's no companies out there still using GCC 4 or whatever kind of suffering they prefer.
I think the thread is referring to satellite pictures of more sensitive locations (like military bases, gov facilities, etc)

But I can imagine it all depends on jurisdiction. A Russian or Chinese satellite imagery company will have no problem publishing clear images of US military bases, while an American satellite company may have to comply with US laws prohibiting that.

And vice versa.

Ultimately if you cobble together imagery from multiple sources, you can probably get everything you want.
It seems like a lot of writing, including this, that might otherwise aspire to ‘solve the hard problem of consciousness’ instead attempts to explain why experience is needed, or how it came to be advantageous and evolve, and not how it is possible at all. It therefore sheds very little or no light at all on consciousness. Any attempt to ‘solve’ the hard problem of consciousness that doesn’t explain how conscious experience is possible at all is a failed attempt. And explaining how it is possible at all would need to refer to some mechanism by which matter (or some other thing) can experience anything and not just be experienced. Nobody in the physical sciences or philosophy has truly attempted this because the answer may in fact live at some epistemological boundary that we can't access in part due to our own subjectivity. I still hold hope that some future experiment (i.e. a discovery of a real and verifiable ability to transfer consciousness) can shed some light on this fundamental mystery, but it may very well be impossible. In the meantime, I am not sure that speculation of the kind that exists in this article is of any use at all.
It's probably safer than looking at a phone, but the most important reason is that your field of view/camera offset vs eyes is different than you're used to and it's easy to get into a dangerous situation.

Snoop Dogg owns more of reddit than Tencent. The Tencent investment is very overblown.

How do you know this?
Are you affiliated with the drug industry in some way? I can't imagine anyone else saying all this.
As someone new to startups, I'd love a clarification if you find the time: what about looking for VC funding instead of traditional bank-based debt is worrying for Simula's situation? The best I could find is this little passage, which doesn't clear it up for me:

Often, the defining characteristic of a scalable company is the ability to replicate, create multiple copies of a similar product or service without substantive modification rather than “one-of-a-kind” items. This can lead to decreasing marginal costs where, as production increases, the resources needed to make the next item or provide the next increment of service go down.

As a very unrelated side note: I have faith in Linux, and don't think the patterns of the past necessarily will hold for the future in all cases.
I think the main thing I'm missing from Lemmy is the ability to work backwards to find a community.

For example, a less-mainstream band I liked posted a new pair of songs last night. With reddit, I could search (via Google most likely) to find a subreddit where this news was posted, and use that to determine that yes, I would like to join this subreddit.

Is there a way to do this with Lemmy?
I don't see it as any different from schools or sports going "go [Mascot]s!". I was never into that culture, but I also see my world getting more and more lonely by the year.

If others bond together from that, I get it now.
I give a lot of latitude for people who may just communicate differently, but that is some cringy, motivational poster-worthy shit right there:

When you start by wrapping your arms around this powerful vision, literally everything is possible. You have to genuinely believe—and work hard for that belief. And in this moment of complete reinvention, we have the opportunity to reach across aisles, create new partnerships, celebrate new voices, and build something together that can change the world. And from what I can tell so far, you’re built for this.

The success of Twitter 2.0 is all of our responsibility.

We need to think big.

We need to transform.

We need to do it all together.

It is worse than just cringy. It is worded completely blindly toward the challenges Twitter faces that were needlessly created in the acquisition and prior, when Musk spent months trash talking the property he was obligated to buy.

This memo very strongly implies that no difficult questions are to be considered
This site is indispensable if you're into frequency scanners. You still need to curate your lists, because there is a lot of dead and useless channels, but it sure beats the time it takes for one to manually dig up and compile frequency lists yourself.

> Ultimately, it turned out to be one of our dependencies turning on a feature by slowly increasing the probability it was used.

Wow. I feel like this dependency should be named and shamed.
If you want to model this using your filesystem, that's exactly why symlinks (shortcuts on Windows and Mac) were invented.

On Mac, you can write tags on files and then use Spotlight to search for them. Pick one (more or less arbitrary) primary category to use as the directory for the file, then write tags for the other ways you want to be able to search for it.
You can also upload a local file which was what I did. It didn't have a shareable link though so I assume it was local.
>You'd usually be better off training on trade publications, scientific journals, or fandom than Reddit.

Bold claim.

There are plenty of engineers and doctors on reddit answering nuanced questions that arent talked about in any journals.

That is what is missing. The absurdly specific stuff that reddit gets. Sure you can answer with nonsense that sounds realistic, but you could also answer with the exact text that solved the problem in the past.

Its the difference between asking the question "How do I save money at the grocery store?" and getting generic answers like "Make a budget" and getting specific answers like "Buy fresh rather than processed".
The point is "user" as used in this post is not a single reddit account or a single individual. A "user" is an app which supports few or many users. I would say if you measure it the way most people would mean user, in fact 90% or more of users are impacted by this price increase, because while each individual user will fall well below the usage threshold, they will in aggregate quickly exceed it because it's all being attributed to the app they are using. On the free tier you could support maybe 10 average users before you wind up with a bad experience as their requests start to bounce off the limits (it's not that their average usage would hit the limits, but the spikes would quickly result in requests become very delayed)
They are not the same, but your initial problem of throw a whole book at it and have OpenAI give you an answer is a demo that is solvable in 20 lines of langchain code when leveraging a vector DB.

> C ... is very well suited for low level programming of RISC processors.

I wouldn't dispute that. You actually caught me expressing a raw and incomplete idea.

I'm imagining a totally fictitious set of events. Kernighan and Ritchie sitting in front of a PDP-11 and thinking to themselves: we'd really like a way to get this hardware to support multiple users simultaneously. I mean, the impetus of the language was this transitive dependency from hardware -> user need -> OS -> language to build that OS.

So I am looking at these new RISC-V SoCs that are coming out. I'm thinking about things like tenstorrent and their chiplet designs where you have a RISC-V CPU core surrounded by an ungodly amount of GPU-like tensor cores. Nvidia's Grace Hopper chip designs are kinda-sorta similar but with ARM cores.

We have a brand new kind of system architecture on our hands. And we have a new kind of challenge, which is the need to efficiently use that hardware. Instead of multi-user sharing of a single mini-computer, we have to find a way to saturate the GPU-like tensor cores surrounding a RISC CPU.

So we have a new chain with "new hardware" -> "new user need". So, maybe we do need a "new OS" that isn't POSIX-ish. And if that chain follows, then I wonder what "new language" would look like to complete that chain. Because I doubt that C or Rust are probably the right ones.

It seems we are grabbing tools that happen to be handy and applying them to a new situation without doing the same kind of first-principle, ground-up thinking that appears to have been the kind of thinking that lead to C. In other words, we're asking "what kind of OS can I build with this language?" instead of "what kind of language do I need to build this OS?"
It really isn't that complicated. You could just lie too if it isn't beneath you.

If I am looking to update a site for a client and see software that I need, and the author is asking for $$ for commercial use, and the client is willing to pay, I will respect that.

Presumption of conflict and safeguards against it, or just giving up, has caused a lot of great projects to be abandoned in my opinion.

If you go to github and the source is already there, the source is open. Any definition of open source beyond that is political and legal. And with that source being open, you could just copy it without even reading the license.
Static analysis is ignored by the article here, but the import syntax requires all imports to be explicit. You can `require(someVariable)` but you cannot `import thing from someVariable`, that syntax is entirely not allowed.

Similar to that is exports: the export syntax requires you to give static names for exports in a module. There is no `export [someVariable]` that can give a dynamic export name. The closest is `export default` which the import syntax treats as unnamed (and `(await import('module-name'))` calls `.default`). In CommonJS `module.exports[someVariable] = something` and worse `module.exports = { /* entirely dynamic object */ }` were extremely common.

That sort of import/export static analysis is used for JIT compiler optimizations at run time in the browsers. That sort of import/export static analysis is used for safe tree-shaking at build time. (Yes, you can treeshake CommonJS, but it is dangerous and makes few guarantees that the final bundle is consistent/correct.)

Yes, you can still dynamically `await import(someVariable)` but browsers don't optimize that in the same way (and bundlers don't treeshake that in the same way). That doesn't mean that it isn't very useful that the base case better supports static analysis and compiler optimizations and tree-shaking.
