> “A related point that I plan to discuss in more detail in Part 3 is that there have been near-eye “glasses” for TVs (such as Sony Glasstron) and computer use for the last ~30 years. Yet, I have never seen one used on an airplane, train, or office in all these years. It is not that the displays didn’t work or were too expensive for an air traveler (who will spend $350 on noise-canceling earphones) and had a sufficient resolution for at least watching movies. But 100% of people decide to use a much smaller (effective) image; there must be a reason”

It could be social conformance. Nobody wants to be the first person to do something conspicuously different in a constrained setting like an airplane.

I remember when I got my first mobile phone sometime in the 1990s. It felt embarrassing to answer it in the middle of the street and carry a private conversation right there. Today there are essentially no boundaries to where you can use a phone.

Apple can easily afford to spend billions on ad campaigns and influencer marketing to make headset use behavior look acceptable and get over the social conformance threshold. No guarantees that they can pull it off, but they have the resources to try. The external EyeSight display on the unit seems to be a big part of this.
That's an old canard. I tried that about 10 years ago it degraded the quality of the 555. The foam is there for a reason. Ended up buying the 650 which I love to this day.
OT, is pinephone making some progress?

I have not heard about them in quite some time, but was hoping they eventually reach the point, of offering a usable device. I guess they are still not there?

> unnecessary heat, battery usage, EM radiation, and social awkwardness were the only downside.

Oh you are hilarious.

First let's cover "unnecessary heat, battery usage". The headset is based around Apple Silicon. And as Apple has perfectly demonstrated with their Apple Silicon MacBook range they are very much the market-leaders in eliminating unnecessary heat and maximising battery usage. I suspect we will find the same with the headset, I doubt there will be a problem.

> EM radiation

Oh right. Because VR headsets (from ANY manufacturer) are so amazingly useful without Bluetooth or WiFi enabled ! if you're worried about EM radiation, then don't buy one ... oh and whilst your at it, throw away your cell phone, computers, laptops and build a faraday cage around your house.

I'm sorry but I can't show sympathy for EM radiation concerns of VR headsets when you are clearly using 101 other devices in your every day life that emit EM.

> social awkwardness

That applies to anyone wearing a VR headset from ANY manufacturer on their head.

Whether the front of the unit is Apple's eyes or Meta's plastic, it's the same thing .... a weird contraption siting yon your head.
Never bet against Apple
At the onset I thought this would involve something to the effect of flashing the firmware or baking the circuit board, but:

> How to do the mod

> The foam cushions are removed simply by pulling on them.

Lol.
Can't I voice a personal opinion otherwise based on my own usage of other VR headsets in my home?
My two cents as former (and currently writing business plan for a new company) small scale entrepreneur : If like it seems your main problem with your current work is stress and overworking, full time company building without big net safety will probably be worse.

The empirical advice a give a lot in indy gaming development and that is validated by even successfull studio founders : if you think an office work take your energy and time and don't let you enough physical and mental energy to create your product wait trying not to starve without a stable income.

Something to consider : look for a new job less mentally taxing (one trick working for lot of people is to take one with work different from the one you will be doing in your company) even if less payed. Ideally look for part time job. They are great when you want to create company because by definition you have a maximum work time negotiated. Create the company before entering and put it in the contract 'I also have a side company i won't close and continue working on my free time'. If it seems hard to negotiate wait trying convince someone to pay for your product/service ^^.

It may slow a bit the startup process but not having to worry about paying your rent in three month can make you gain a lot of mental energy at the end of the year.

Show HN: Using Redux with Svelte
Redux with Svelte is fun to use. We will play with Redux (Redux Toolkit) and Svelte on this repository. Redux is predictable state management container and we will integrate it with Svelte. This sample project is basically a counter increment/decrement demo that will help you get started and get the idea how to use Redux Toolkit in Svelte (featuring Vite). No distraction guaranteed. Why Redux Toolkit? Relax bro, Redux Toolkit is modern recommended way to use Redux. It's official from Redux team and it's already included with Redux package.
I use whatever is linked under "vi" on my PATH. I just checked, and it's vim. My usage of the editor is pretty basic and I haven't felt that vim is slow, so I haven't looked at neovim.
~12 years with Vim, here. Neovim doesn't solve any problem _I_ might have with Vim so _I_ never considered switching. Should _you_? Only you can tell. Test it out and see for yourself.

In my opinion, the huge delta between TextMate and Vim easily justified a switch, back then, but the differences between Vim and Neovim are way too marginal. If you are big on plugins, maybe, but I am not, so YMMV.
They have pulled airpods as a "norm". In olden times leaving your earphones/headphones in you ear/head was a very rude thing to do, especially around people you know, in idle time; now it is almost norm. Especially it is marketed as a norm to the younger folk. They will try and there is no reason them to fail.

When I want to preserve online content, the first step is to take it offline by storing a local copy. Usually by using something like Reader Viewer and exporting it to PDF. That sometimes doesn't look as good as the website, but content is more important. The directory is indexed by `recoil`, so I can later access this and similar content.
> "You must use our companies blessed base image before we will deploy your app". Then when a security update comes out you update the base image and send an email out saying

Either that or you trigger a rebuild of their images because a dependency changed.

This is one of the very few cases where using “:latest” is the right thing to do.

I maintain a docker image on Docker Hub (rbanffy/vm370) and I rebuild it from time to time so that it picks up the latest versions of the underlying OS. I still need to migrate it from Debian to something more minimalistic so that this becomes less of an overhead.

There are some good questions asked in this, but I think there are some potential counter arguments missed.

> Low Processing Lag Time and High Frame Rate are Necessary but not Sufficient to Solve Visual Issues

I think I read somewhere that Apple are using the eye tracking to concentrate processing power and refresh rate on the area you are looking. Eventually a higher refresh rate in a smaller section of the display.

> Poor location of main cameras relative to the user’s eye due to the Eyesight Display

> The proper location of the cameras would be coaxial with the user’s two eyes.

The eyes have two degrees of movement, the camera can't be "coaxial" with them at all times.

The proximity of the cameras to the axial direction of your eyes is going to be more important for short distance than long as the effect of misalignment is going to be stronger. We tend to be looking somewhat down when working on things near to us, and in the case of the Vision Pro that's where the cameras are. You are almost exactly looking down through the axis of the cameras when working on something on a desk or table in front of you. This is better than if they were horizontally in front of your eyes.

I don't doubt that Apple have considered all these issues in the design, and any trade offs they may have made. Once we get our hands on hardware we will be better informed how well they have addressed them.
Well, a couple of things: France =|= EU, which should be obvious. Also, you have to put 500 million in context: Liquid Death (canned H2O) has a valuation of 700 million USD, MS dumped 10 billion on OpenAI and Germany burned 500 million on a road toll system that cannot be built because the whole concept is illegal. Someone else already brought up Adam Newman. And now put that in relation to the budget of an entire nation state. Peanuts, actually.

Regarding those Intel chips: Which chips exactly caused the chip crisis? High end latest gen ones or older tech? And now you can guess on which chips the vast, vast majority of national defence hardware runs. That idea actually isn't to bad.
Isn't Firefox already the Linux of web browsers?
I wouldn’t get HD25 unless you’re planning to DJ or play live in clubs. They’re not the most comfortable and sound is ok but not really enjoyable.

I picked up a pair of Phonon SMB-02 a few weeks back and they’re the best studio headphones I’ve had in 20 years of DJing and producing. The space they reveal is amazing and feel close to studio monitors.
Indeed, the holy grail (or perhaps the rapture) of programming languages is a compiler which generates the entire program with zero human-written code. I fear it may be on the horizon.
THIS, and it applies to far lower tech than modern pharma. A century ago, one of my grandfathers was a blacksmith in a little farming town, which had a little canning factory. During harvest season, when that factory was running 24-hour days, grandpa was paid to sleep there every night. Canning food is a complex, time-sensitive, and safety-critical activity. If production is halted even "briefly" - you may have to start throwing out large quantities of spoiled food, waste more time re-sanitizing things, etc.
Why? Are you not getting what you paid for? Why should it be your concern to dictate a company's manufacturing process, supply chain and other internal business decisions?
Thanks for your input. You're right, my statement is not fully correct and I will also update my post. What I mean with "regular" are commands like "rebase" - just running "git rebase" is not destructive in a way that your previous changes are truly gone (by default). That's actually a pretty important thing to know both pedagogically and practically, as it makes it trivial to undo a rebase. If rebase was actually "destructive", you couldn't do it.

You've stated a lot of ways to delete commits that I don't see as "regular" (gc, changing default expire date, filter, reflog, ...). There are even more plumbing commands to delete commits. But yes, I should have explained what I mean with "regular" and also make my point less absolute.

> If you force push to a shared repo, there's no "perspective" about it - the history has changed.

It depends on what "history" and "changing" means to you. If it's the entire Git graph, then every commit changes the history (which it does). What I mean by change in this context is that I can take a graph and alter the existing commits (change order, move, change the content, etc.), and that's not what happens with a rebase for example. I should have clarified this as well. It comes down to the "branches are just pointers" discussion, so for me, moving a branch does not "change" the history (= the commit graph). But I also understand that from a different perspective - viewing the branch as the pointer + the commits it reaches - the history actually changes (but not in the way I've meant it). It's important to state which of those one is talking about.

Ask HN: How to Become an AI Consultant?
It looks like being even a talented run-of-the-mill Software Engineer with a good CS foundation is not gonna be enough to make real break-throughs career-wise in the coming times.

So I was wondering if you are just that, what's the best way to transition into becoming a full on AI expert and consultant?

Is it best to be primarily a daily AI user yourself?
Is it best to be an AI developer?
Is it best to be an AI researcher?

And how do you even get started with that transition. There is an exhausting amount of things going on and coming out on a daily basis!
A weird thing with this article and others: they shit on Google and Facebook, but they never shit on Apple?

Why? Is Apple just a serious company in comparison? At least, with Apple I get the impression that some of their products (e.g. mbp) are leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. I can't say the same for any Google or Facebook product
I’d say it probably makes sense for the intended use cases; the ones they have shown in their videos.

Mostly sitting on a couch, or leisurely strolling in your huge, mostly empty, living room while discussing with your colleagues or family.

Instead of, say, wildly moving your arms around to slice a cube in beat saber, or shoot down a face hugger in Alyx.

The other big difference being the supposed ability to clearly see your environnement.

But then, this is all suppositions. And they have screwed up more than a few times. Wait and see, I guess.
> Not one of the transitions is one you’d actually want to use on, y’know, a web page. No fade (only pixel fade, 12), no slide (only wipe, 4–7).

The hardware of the time couldn't do better.
The host matters a lot in container/VM escape attacks.

I actively avoid running workloads on bare metal and have been doing so since the early 2000’s. It’s always easier to move a VM image to a new generic VM host than to reinstall everything from scratch.

What Docker does is to make delivering the app easier (it’s less involved than a full VM) and also automate the build process with a simple tool (Docker build).

Then I guess, I'm not a target customer and Apple doesn't want my money. Fair enough, more money for me for other things. Yay!
Define "usable". I have both Pinephone and Pinephone Pro, though I use them mostly to tinker with them (hah, I'm in the middle of compiling a new custom system image for the OG).

Pro's hardware is definitely better than the original, but the software part is still very alpha. Many driver is still not mainlined, and are very buggy (especially the 4G modem/GPS...) If you ask me, the main issue is that everyone is trying to create a desktop OS for the devices, with the same flaws. Most applications are simply not optimized for mobile. And of course half of the services are Python - which is fine on desktop and server, but on a battery powered embedded device you want to save those expensive cycles... but I start to rant.

PinePhones are fun (and affordable) toys if this is your thing, but it stops there.

And of course the developer community likes new stuff. Pine64 just released a small mountain of new tablets, everyone is flocking in that direction.
but mostly CSS complexity is expanding all the time as we speak

That's the biggest problem facing new browser implementations, and IMHO it's deliberate. Probably 99% of sites out there do not need any of the new crap that gets constantly added to the "standard", but continued propaganda by those constantly in power will practically guarantee that they will, under some guise of "progress" or "modernity". WHATWG is basically controlled by Big Tech (and was created because they didn't like the W3C's approach to stability) and popularised the idiotic oxymoron "living standard". Constant churn is how they're trying to maintain their monopoly, because they have the sheer manpower to outrun competitors.
Don't buy open-backed headphones to use in a place with colleagues.
I like the external battery. It's easy to replace and I don't have to strap a large and heavy battery to my head.
But that is completely different. If you have a full screen window/split in full screen, it breaks multi monitor setups. You can not drag a third window over your full screened monitor anymore, because it's in exclusive full screen. Triple monitor setups get broken in their usability if you have something full screened in your center screen.
I don't think chunking is the most optimal approach either. I can envision a future where embeddings have variable length and comparing two variable-length embeddings would require a more complex similarity metric. Vector databases will need to adjust to this reality.
Two competitors in anything is too few.

Look at the mess any two-party system is comparing to where there are at least three, each keeping the others in check.
Beyerdynamics are wonderful. I'd add SIVGA, far better than the Sennheiser I had!

I'd suggest the SV021 if you want bass, or the SV003 if you prefer the flatness of studio headphones like the Beyers.

I use them with a Sony Walkman DAP: best money I've ever spent!

Good bass matters for some styles: the SV021 is better when I listen to say Моргенштерн
Yes, the post should really have a [2008] tag. These are not current models.
That's a whole lot of words for something you can solve by buying a new pair of shorts...
That is a common argument here. It is also a logical fallacy. Because heavier than air apparatus can fly, dropbox made money and so on does not mean anything in the future will be successful.
Of course there’s hatred involved here. What you’re essentially saying is that the market has always been organized in such a way that fluctuations and corrections happen, so why should anyone else complain and question that? And when you are attacking the author’s person by painting him in a market loser’s light despite not knowing anything about him (and I don’t, and many who read the article don’t), how is that not personal vendetta?

The market is a manmade system that we can control by regulation, and organizing any controllable system in such a way that it generates a lot of waste before self-correcting is not necessary. Real people become aggravated when corrections happen, e.g. immigrants on a worker visa, people who moved their entire lives, people who found it hard to find the very jobs that they lost, etc. You can’t act surprised that people complain because they are on the receiving end of these corrections (“market losers” to you, right?) as if they are supposed to just put up with bullshit that was not even necessary to begin with.

Take apart the phone and look at individual parts and you will find that this is absolutely the case. Every large scale electronics manufacturer uses this strategy.

And specifically in Apple's case they do spend more money doing stuff like soldering ram to the motherboard so customers can't upgrade them.

AI is ONE of many CS disciplines, and if you want to specifically concentrate on it then sure, in the coming years, you may be able to reap some degree of alpha due to this.
But in my opinion, the focus on AI is going to plateau, and everyone, regardless of their disciplines, would be using some sort of generative AI tech. in their work. Commonplace application of AI would benefit the early movers, but in the end, it likely would not result in the wholesale replacement/eradication of programmers IMO
Ah, the classics Apple "you're holding it wrong", but now it's "your clothes are wrong". Brilliant!

The downside of containers is that you have whatever kernel is on the host. I avoid running Docker containers on bare metal for that reason. You can still have RH6 VMs running containers hosted on a RH7 server.

All this conversation reminded me of Solaris containers having Linux compatibility layers that pretended you were running on Linux even though you had a Solaris kernel under it.

Wonder how much of that lives now in Illumos and other descendants of OpenSolaris.
> a lack of understanding of the platform you have built

There is also the common extension to this problem: someone else built this platform some time ago and has long since left the company.

I got the Bower Wilkins PX8 about 6 months ago and love it. I originally went with the PX8 over the Focal Bathys due to it being $100 cheaper than the Focal Bathys, more compact form factor, and the reportedly better noise cancellation. MDs have widely-reported problems with their Bluetooth connectivity.

However, I am Focal-curious. Some reviews have the FB noticeably better sound. And, right now, B&H is offering the FB at a $150 discount, dropping it below the BW.
