Because puritans, extremists, and generally everyone who believes themselves morally superior to others, believe they have the moral right, if not imperative, to impose their views onto others. And to get said others out of their wayward paths.

Anything less would mean letting black sheep harm and corrupt society as a whole, durably. How could you let that happen?

Their pure and morally superior ends thus justify the means, coercion being the least intrusive and oppressive of those, and paling in comparison to other acceptable methods, such as public shaming, ostracising, and even violence.

Basically, to self-righteous zealots, freedom and individuality are secondary to what they see as morally, and universally, right.

And how could it be otherwise? You can’t possibly be convinced you know the one and only acceptable way for all and accept people should be free to do as they want, can you?

That, and some have always liked to weaponise these sentiments for influence, political power, and monetary gain.
Even after years of people spreading similar messages, being someone who 'knows' how to leave a job is a superpower. If you can get over the feeling that you're doing something immoral, it changes the context of any problem at work. But the first is the hardest.
If you are rich you could have done your part. It is really easy. All you have to do is read some books and then start a fintech (expected budget: 20 million USD, less if you can find a cooperating banking partner) and then all the things you complain about will disappear and you will even earn money in the process. I am dead serious.

As a multi-decade long Firefox user, I am going to say no.

Firefox is produced by a single company and its users are completely beholden to the choices that the company makes.

In some ways, Chromium is closer to being the Linux of browsers. There are multiple “distributions” or instances of the technology ( Chrome, Edge, Brave, and others ). There is at least some collaboration on the core.

Chromium is not developed nearly as collaboratively as Linux though and certainly it is dominated by Google.

What we need is something like Ladybird which is community driven prior to corporate involvement and that is led by that community and not by a company.

Not that we have not lost this opportunity before. KHTML was community driven before Apple co-opted it for WebKit which Google later forked to Blink.

Ladybird is perhaps already in a better spot being cross-platform vs only the browser in SerenityOS. It is also a “complete” project with JavaScript and multimedia already built in. Let’s work to keep the project together as a browser and not chase bits of it getting ripped off and taken elsewhere.
This. I’m on (maybe?) my third pair of HD 280 in the office so I can work without hearing everyone nearby, which apparently means they also can’t hear my music.
If it is truly a work produced by the Federal Government, then it is Public Domain, and this YouTuber has absolutely no right to release it as CC-BY.

If this license is legitimate, I'd definitely be interested to know the process whereby they came to agree to such a release. I have a feeling that the real answer is much simpler: this is simple piracy, and nobody in an official capacity has sent a DMCA takedown (yet).

If the author thought about all this in an essay, you can bet Apple did too in their many years working on this. Whether they managed to come up with proper solutions to these issues is another matter, but I'd be hard-pressed to think they've not been acutely aware of all of this and actively worked on it.

Whether something strapped on your head is balanced or not matters much more for your comfort than its weight.

In the past, but even today in some parts of the world, it was a common practice to carry great weights on the head for a long time, with the condition of them being well balanced (because it was more comfortable than carrying them in an unbalanced way, in the arms or on the back).

I resisted starting a Discord for my open source projects for years.

With hindsight that was a mistake. I finally created one a year ago and it had a huge impact on the velocity of the project - I now have active engagement with users and a growing pool of contributors and collaborators, all thanks to that group.

I think often it's important to prioritize reducing friction to getting involved over (very rational) reservations about the platforms themselves.

The problem with that 3D craze was that it was implemented entirely because James Cameron wanted it. All of the technical innovations and infrastructure costs were implemented for Avatar, and all of the subsequent movies and consumer facing products were just there to try and recoup some value from these (probably bad) investments that were made for just this one film. It lasted only as long as it took people to realise that general enthusiasm for 3D movies wasn’t very strong in the broader market of all people other than James Cameron.
I look forward to the 3rd article in the series on Applications even though Karl's expertise is in hardware and I am surprised he was not asked to redteam Apple's design at various phases since it is what he does. But whereas Apple is, with notable exceptions like the EyeSight Lenticular screen which I love and cant wait to do in Jaguar mode one day, only assembling from the same shelf of product choices everyone else in AR/MR/VR is choosing from; it is their full control of the software stack and what they choose to do (or not do) with it that they have real opportunity. So I am much more interested in the VisionOS and Application landscape getting Karl's strengths and weaknesses approach.

Look at picture #11. Look at the guy squatting next to the car. Look at how low his butt is to the ground -- maybe 12 inches? Then realize that the drivers butt is even lower to the ground, because you can't see the full seat, since it's blocked by the frame where the gullwing door comes down. So, that's maybe six inches off the ground?

The driver can't see over the wheels in front of the car. The driver can't see over the dashboard or what little hood remains.

And you'd have to squat that low every time you wanted to get into or out of the car.

The original C111 is one of my favorite car designs on the planet. I once had a limited edition metal model that came in a carefully constructed display box.

But I'd be terrified of this thing, if I could ever manage to swim or crawl into it. And if I was supposed to be the driver, I'd be terrified of chopping pedestrians off at the ankles.

Big tech used Linux to wage a proxy war against Microsoft from a safe distance without needing to actually commit to anything.

Linus Torvalds had nothing to his name when he started working on Linux. He was just some kid from Finland, but the audacity the project gave it attention and visibility, and visibility came with funding.

I think in general a hint of audacity along with being able to demonstrate capabilities to follow through is a great recipe for having people throw money at you, and the more money you have to work with, the more options you have to keep demonstrating what you can do.

A lot of people have a vested interest in shaking up the tech world. It's just a matter of finding the right fuses to light.
Yes, but pine64 shipping is a serious pain point for many regions. I used to buy lots of cheap stuff from them with "EU standard shipping" to Poland that cost like 10eur. This shipping method has disappeared to Poland and many other EU countries last year. Last time I checked they wanted 35eur for shipping.

I'm not paying that when buying a $9 board.
True, but the fans add weight and use energy that could be better spent in computing.

I dislike the power loss failure mode - it will prevent their use in places such as factory floors where AR will be very impactful, because a suddenly blinded worker next to heavy machinery is usually a terrible idea.

But I also appreciate how they solved the transparency issue of AR by instead of overlaying stuff on the real world, they just replaced it with an Apple-made one, which is insanely clever and totally Apple.

I also want to know what they can do with additional sensors - extending vision into IR and UV and beyond will certainly prove interesting, as well as providing better perception at low light.

The key thing is that it’s not a head set for an existing computer, but a computer with a new shape, with an OS designed for that. We shouldn’t discount the initial problems - this thing is impressive. It’s a quantitative improvement so large it will become a qualitative one.

Honestly it feels like one of those old school RNNs. ChatGPT would be way more coherent.
FYI, there are lots of papers on parallel shortest path algorithms. If an approximate solution suffices, there’s also a lot of research available on that, often with some parameter that lets you trade more computation for a tighter approximation. It's not a problem that parallelises particularly well though, so not sure if you'll see good gains in practice.

If you can restrict the structure of your graphs (e.g. planar) then some very efficient methods exist.
> While looking at their other project I am curious that the author has decided to invent their own memory safe language currently implemented as transpiler to C++ written in Rust. [...] I can imagine potential nightmares when debugging such concoction.

Compatibility with C++ is required at this point in time to interface with the thousands of lines of C++ code that have already been written. Assuming that everything will be written in Jakt at some point, then one could look into making more grave changes without having to care about compatibility (including maybe skipping the C++ part alltogether).

> Why not to just use Rust as their system language.

Rust has been evaluated, but discarded (mainly, iirc) due to it's approach (or lack thereof) for OOP. Also, the whole "we want to make things ourselves" thing.
Why do people keep repeating this? Twitter was not heading "straight to bankruptcy". They became profitable in 2018. Due to lawsuits they lost a good amount of money in 2020, but things got better towards 2021 again. They were far from bankruptcy, only since Musk settled them with additional debts are they heading towards it full speed.

> I'm not so sure the network effect is significant to Reddit. Forum going is a solitary activity, not a social one. Reddit does not become less attractive if your friends don't use it. In fact, it would not become less attractive if there were no people and the site's characters were powered by sufficiently advanced LLM models or some such. Any reliance on other humans is merely an implementation detail, not the core offering.

What? No. This completely misses the point of highly specialised, high-quality subreddits like r/AskHistorians that would be worthless if there weren't actually other people on it.

>>For the same reason I've seen lots of instances of people complaining about leadership decisions, thinking the work could be done differently or more efficiently, questioning priorities, etc. They don't have the executive view that is looking across the organization.

Common theme in most of the executive decisions that I've seen. Lets shutdown product X, it costs us Y to run. We could use ~X from a different company that costs Y-2.5% to run. Then only months to an year later- We shouldn't have shut down X, as ~X is not what we actually want and our initial budgeting didn't cover it but we need 2Y to pay for and rebuilding X could cost us up to 10Y-20Y.

People at the top generally don't have what is 'precisely' needed. And the kind of resources it could to go about achieving it.

> > 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.

That technique is Foveated Rendering, and my understanding is that it doesn’t change the frame rate. I think if it did you would get obvious visual tearing at the boundaries of the different areas. I believe it normally involves just rendering areas at a lower resolution and then applying a basic blur to it.

Additionally, I’m not certain if that will be applied to the pass through video, the most important bit for these visual issues. Adding foveated rendering to that pipeline could even do more harm than good in terms of adding latency, and video processing is typically much faster than the rendering of new graphics from scratch, particularly given the M1’s dedicated video accelerators.
Well, by "usable" I mean a phone, that I can use as a phone.

So thanks, you explained very well, that it is still a tinker toy.

I seriously could do with not optimized software, I also don't mind fixing some things. But if the drivers are still buggy, then I still just see no base to consider it as a phone or something that can become a usable phone in the near future. A shame.

But their messages can go far beyond business matters, ranging from the overtly political to the bizarre. According to a transcript leaked to Mother Jones, Yager apparently forwarded the following message, left on his voice mail, to some of the hundreds of thousands of distributors under him: “If you analyze Bill Clinton’s entire inaugural address, it is nothing but a New Age pagan ritual. If you go back and look at how it was arranged and how it was orchestrated, he talked about forcing the spring. So what they’re trying to do is…force the emergence of deviant lifestyles, of a socialist agenda, and force that on us as American people.”

Thanks to them, too, the center of the American automotive industry and birthplace of the modern labor movement is now a right-to-work state. They’ve funded campaigns to elect state legislators, established advocacy organizations to lobby them, buttressed their allies and primaried those they disagree with, spending at least $100 million on political campaigns and causes over the past 20 years. “The DeVos family has been far more successful not having the governor’s seat than if they had won it,” says Richard Czuba, the owner of the Glengariff Group, a bipartisan polling firm in Michigan. “They have, to some degree, created a shadow state party.

>synchronization of brain patterns in situations involving power dynamics between individuals

An extreme example of this might be the abusive Narcissist/Borderline couple dynamic. There's a handful of psychological literature from established researchers that speculate in these kinds of abusive couples, the victim and abuser entirely synchronize with each other using entraining. For example, the Narcissist uses repetitive, triggering speech patterns to brainwash the victim so the victim acts only the way the Narcissist thinks she'll act. On the other side, the Borderline might cause entraining by begging her partner to regulate her labile emotions. [1]

This entraining is also speculated to cause dissociation and amnesia, allowing the Narcissist to wipe clean and replace his victim's memory. [1]

Might have been an adaption in the distant past, but in my eyes most people in leadership are neurotics, and they don't like to regulate other peoples' emotions to any extent like the Cluster B's

Ah, I see. Something that I hear people talk about is "Prompt Engineers", but the way current research is going, this is something that is going to be automated, or instruction-tuned LLMs would make it obsolete.

Rather, you can focus more on learning LLMs in-depth, finetuning them for a specific niche application, learning how to parameterize them appropriately, etc.
