> We’re using “cookies” as a shorthand for any technologies that can access or store information on a person’s device. This can also include beacons, pixels, scripts, and other technologies.

That is a weird use of the word "cookie". In normal usage, it doesn't mean a technology that accesses or stores the information, it is that information itself.

"Pixels" is also weird. I think that they mean tracking pixels, which are one-pixel images that are just there so that the browser has to request them from the server and the server can notice that request. They are a subclass of "Beacons". Calling them a "technology that can access or store information on a person's device" seems misleading.
Also, reCaptcha wouldn't need them. They already have Javascript running on my PC, they don't need a tracking pixel to contact the server.

Thanks for the data point, I'm curious.

We've decided to give them (3, 5, 7) basically no screens except for occasional television. But I'm wondering whether it would be better to give them something creative that they could learn from instead of television. The middle one likes building (with Duplo) a lot [1].

When it comes to screens, have you tried anything apart from Minecraft and Mario Maker? What have they played Minecraft on? Did they start with those games and at what ages if I may ask? Looking at the "what's it" of Mario Maker my first thought was that it would be too complicated for them (starting out with screens), but I'm likely just underestimating them.

[1]: I was wondering about switching to Lego but I don't think these modern pre-made sets are all that good, in comparison to just regular building blocks.

Many (not all) of those things were results of the criminalization of drugs, as well as our refusal to take care of people with mental health issues.

Most overdoses could be avoided by knowing exactly what you're taking, at what dose, and maybe even under supervision (like at safe injection sites; places that have gone years without a single person dying on premises).

The homeless people thing is a failure of our healthcare and housing systems.

Fentanyl only exists on the black market because drugs are illegal. Fentanyl is kind of a shit high compared to other opioids, it's only a problem because dealers are cutting their illegal drugs with it.

It’s not whether the complaints are real; it’s whether the recipient has some policy that says “X number of complaints and we show you the door.”
Damn, a bunch of worry warts in your other responses. I feel like I could safely manage a knife if I closed my eyes, or if I was cooking at night and my power went out! Like, I wouldn't immediately chop off a finger... I could manage to set it down. Sheesh.

I'm planning to be a Day 1 user of AVP to see what I can build with it, and I look forward to your cooking app!
Why are the anti-nuclear Greens are always blamed for this development? They did not achieve any of their other goals on their agenda (we are still eating more and more meat and destroying nature) but somehow they managed to succeed in this goal - that also pretty much favours the agenda of the powerful and wealthy fossil foil industry.
I would argue the conclusion to that isn't that they don't have a valid point, but that the people cannot be sufficiently motivated, or that they are unsure how to protest effectively, or that they are unaware that disrupting often leaves people feeling disrupted, that feeling disrupted is not a positive feeling, and that associating Negativity with a movement too many times can really hurt it in the long run. Just look at the cultures idea of PETA in the USA.
This does seem like a good legitimate use case.

However, if Google transfers the data collected to its American servers or daughter companies, that would still make for a massive GDPR violation, both for Google for breaking the law and, if the situation does not get resolved, possibly for the companies using Google's services while it knowingly violates the law.

Thank you for the plug. We're doing a Kickstarter right now for Aerodrums 2.

It will have support for VR passthrough. We'll add support for Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3 as soon as they make it possible (if anyone has connections to speed that up, I am interested).

It's pure speculation, but articles embeddings are computed using 512 tokens, which is roughly equivalent to 400 words. I think that using only one word does not allow the model to fully understand the context.

Elections are not, and should not, be the be-all end-all of a functionning democraty. Otherwise you just have an elective aristocracy.

Very cool to see. I had worked on something similar but in the context of JavaScript a few years ago (https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.03110). Without coroutines/continuations, it really would have been impossible to get people up to speed in the time we had (one week).
I seriously dislike trying to use Discord, and I get annoyed when open source projects direct questions / support to a community discord as opposed to a wiki or faq of forum.

Searching discord is painful, and god forbid you ask a question that someone else asked 3 weeks ago that you weren’t sitting in front of the chat for.

The only discord that kind of makes sense (that I’ve used, and I haven’t used many) is the doom eMacs discord, where the questions are kind of pinned. Almost in a Forum format.

I wish Discourse would take off more. I think it’s a great, modern answer to forums.

This is what happened back in the day with Howard Stern too. His reach and cultural importance shrank, just like Joe Rogans now, as soon as he took the cash went behind a paywall.
> But people watch 720p content all the time!

I had the same reaction, and the article only says that the effective resolution, accounting for their "pixels per degree", is something less than 1080p. Which sort of implies it is better than 720p...somewhere between the two. Plus whatever benefit blocking out the things around you in the plane has.

I'd much rather hear some reviews of the experience from run of the mill people that don't have much experience with VR.

I suppose the article does, though, at least set a reasonable expectations bar.

Discord is better than forums for casual chatting and sharing memes. As far as acting as a repo of frequently asked questions to be left open for information to be amended and appended, forums are far superior to Discord. It's surprising that there are people who think Discord is better in every way when, to me, it's clearly not true. I wonder how many of those Discord-type users actually grew up with the chat rooms and forums/BBSes of Web 1.0. For those who didn't, maybe Discord superficially seems like a huge advancement over forums.

The sad thing about forums is that forum software seems to have given up on itself. People clearly prefer the [old] Reddit experience over the experience provided in vBulletin, phpBB, Simple Machines Forum, Invision Power Board, Discourse, etc. These softwares remained in the past, and I think that's part of what's lead to their demise in terms of relevancy.

2h of battery life will get you 1/7th of the way through that flight. Maybe you can plug it in though. It’s certainly not something you can use all day.

To get a jump on Apple Vision development I picked up a Hololens 1 and it also has 2 hour battery life on Ebay although right now I don’t know if I can stand to wear it for that long. The weird thing is that even after using it for 20 minutes I could not see computer screens the same way, I was already starting to want to drag windows off the monitor and have them hanging in space, do a ‘flower’ gesture to open the Windows menu, etc…
But google is thirsty for data too, and has to be stoped too.

I still believe that the first step to stop tracking should be done on client side (block 3rd party cookies by default, delete cookies on tab/window close, except those manually whitelisted, to stay looged in), but google still collects way too much data on all of us.
Street photography can be great fun and interesting! And culturally significant. Day to day portraiture is a boon for antropology.

Every criticism of the Apple Vision is, at this point in time, pure speculation. As such, they are both inherently low-value as well as uninformed. The time for this type of talk will be when people actually get their hands on the device.

Seriously, the headline here is why something "may" be lousy for watching movies.
In the "The Talk Show" Interview after WWDC [1], Mike Rockwell from Apple explained how they specifically engineered the Vision Pro to work very well for watching movies on planes. Here's a copy from the YouTube-generated transcript:

I'm not sold on the idea that "violations of this code outside these spaces" is a bad thing, it depends what those violations are.

I'm completely happy and have spent my career working with people who's views don't always align with my own. If I have a religious co-worker who believes I will spend eternity burning in hell for my sexuality, it doesn't bother me in the slightest. They have a right to their view, I have a right to my view, and discussion of those views should be left outside of the workplace.

As long as this person treats me with respect, the fact they think I'll spend my non-existent afterlife in a non-existent hell has zero impact on my life.

On the other hand, if they spend their free time advocating for things which will have an impact on my life, such as sending me to prison for my sexuality, that's a very different story. It would be impossible for me to work with someone in a constructive way knowing they're pushing for a world without me in it.

If they're happy to throw me out of society and into prison, I'm happy to throw them out of my project.

Podcasts are very popular.

The sheer diversity of content, and low barriers to entry ensures that almost anyone could find something that suits their interests, no matter how niche.

Many people such as myself don't have trouble focusing on a podcasts while doing mundane tasks (cleaning, gardening, driving, going to the gym etc) and happily fill that time by listening to something interesting/entertaining. I don't really understand your point about being "productive", as being productive is not my objective when listening to a podcast.

Maybe podcasts are not for you. That's fine. There's lots of entertainment forms that are not for me.

> We were basically creating a crappy programming language out of Java classes.

At least the pedagogy is accurate. From UIs to database accessors, coding modern Java basically is creating a crappy programming language out of Java classes.
The structure of the coroutine version looks very close to what I've been settling towards for my own background code (not robots but a similar "do a sequence of things that may take different amounts of time and rely on external state"). I'm not sure if it has a name so in my head it's been something like "converging towards a 'good' state":

Every tick, inspect the state of the world. Then do the one thing that gets you a single step towards your goal.

At first I wasn't sure the "inspect" part was possible in the robot system, but the Lua code makes it look like it is? If so, the change is basically changing the "while" to "if" and adding additional conditions, maybe with early returns so you don't need a huge stack of conditions.

The "converging" style doesn't use coroutines and is more robust. Let's say, for example, another robot bumps into yours during the grab - the Lua code couldn't adapt, but the "converging" style has that built in since there's no assumed state that can get un-synchronized with the world like with a state machine / coroutine version. It was because of external interactions like that, that I couldn't 100% rely on but were inspectable, that I originally came up with this style.
Because with the iPhone, a lot of people think that Apple earned the benefit of the doubt - if Apple thinks they can pull this off, then liklier than not, considering what they've done in the past, they probably can.
Yes, it's a downside of using them in b-tree indexes. However, the purpose of having an ID is usually to use it for lookup (from foreign keys, query string arguments, ...). If you create an index on two columns, you won't be able to lookup using only the second value, at least not in Postgres.
This is a huge breakthrough in automating the process of building a high availability cluster for PostgreSQL. This solution will help many companies who use PostgreSQL and configure their specialists, without the help of outsourcing.
> But it is a reminder that any business operating in the EU at this scale must incorporate a data privacy specialist into their requirements gathering and review processes. It's just the price of the ticket to play in the EU.

This sounds very American. You don't need a data privacy specialist to operate in the EU. You need to develop with privacy first by design. Treat all PII as radioactive. Literally. Yes, if you need to bolt this onto existing US software to make it "compliant", you're screwed and you'll need to call in a containment team like when you find radioactive cargo in your business that is not normally expected to handle it.

A lot of times topics like GDPR and privacy are brought up on HN I'm seeing comments that act like it's black magic. It really isn't. It's trivial to be "good enough" as far as legislation is concerned. The problem is just that over the past decades and especially in the US we've seen myriads of online services sprout up that now often seem integral but were built with a complete disregard for privacy and now need to either be retrofitted or somehow contained to become compliant. It's like finding out paint is radioactive after it has been marketed for decades with no regulation or oversight.

Internet companies have been playing it fast and loose with privacy well past the point that people started pointing out it's a (ethical if not legal yet) problem. That is now coming back to bite them. I'm okay with that. It's just a shame so many businesses are caught in the crossfire because those companies have also tried their best to make themselves integral and unavoidable. Good luck trying to migrate away from AWS/Azure/GCP for example.
