Part of that is, in my eyes, that it is an apt comparison. Some of the things that ended up making a touch only interface work well on the iPhone (I used Windows Mobile 6.0 with only a touchscreen at the time, so I am speaking from experience) were, at least partly, things public analysts, even those steeped in the field, could not really predict by what had been showcased during the announcement.

Predictive text being utilized to change the virtual size of touch targets on the keyboard, yet keeping the design static to improve accuracy, was something even those with years working with and on touch only smartphone interfaces did not figure out in its entirety until after the phone was in their hands.

The iPhone is a good parallel because just like with it, this is trying to further an existing class of devices and history has shown that, for as many things as I can criticize about them, Apple is very good at adding these unnoticeable optimizations and hidden tricks that make experiences work much more flawlessly.

Adding to that, though, I will admit that the first iPhone was severely flawed in other ways, like lack of MMS and 3G. These however were not issues with the UX (compared to Windows Mobile which supported these but had UX issues out of every orifice), but rather conscious feature restrictions, on which Apple ended up back paddling.

In fact, that is my main concern with the AVP, Apple intentionally restricting it in ways that will make the hardware less appealing and impactful. The AVP, in my eyes, should in the long term replace both Macs and iOS devices (at least iPads), but to do that, should enable the creation of software on device. I hope that, just like with 3G and MMS, Apple will see the light between V1 and V2 regarding local macOS app support (or at least Xcode).

If that happens, I will buy one at their asking price. As it stands, I will wait for reviews and only buy one if it means a distinct improvement to my workflow, even though I'll need to take my MacBook with me. Apple should, just like with Xcode on the iPad, stop being afraid of letting new classes of compute device replace the old. To bring this back to the original iPhone, imagine if Jobs had announced that it is not an iPod on top of being a browsing device and phone, because they feared cannibalizing iPod sales. Would have been shortsighted, to say the least.

Lastly, I will freely admit that past performance should not be used to predict future successes. It is possible that Apples methods may have changed since then, and they have not put as much consideration into solving the UX issues plaguing current pass-through AR devices, in which case justifying the price will be (even more of) a challenge. I doubt it though and, even if, more recent history (Apple Watch) has taught them a thing or two about pivoting a seeming failure into an impressive success.
The term of art for VR/AR headsets is "head mounted display", or HMD.
My understanding is that the devs think that AI-assistance should be plugins, as there's no open spec for communication with Copilot and others:

https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/discussions/4037#discu...

And the plugin system is not done/released yet.
Best comment ever. And also true. I do drugs what i feels is responsable (5 times a year) and i always feel im the only one doing it responsibly among people i know who do drugs.
The irony here is that you're using the same kind of logic (the project can't survive if it's closed to transphobes!) that's mocked in the following comment when the shoe is on the other foot (LOL the project can't survive without trans people):

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36430649

This does highlight the point that diversity is to some extent a zero sum game. You can welcome trans people to your project, or transphobes, but not necessarily both.

(I am just using trans people as one of many possible examples.)
The way your comment puts it, it seems like people who cannot experiment happiness nor enjoy 'little things' just need to suck it up and just experience them naturally like you do.

Now in a more serious way: everybody is different and many people tend to describe their life experiences as if they were universal. Turns out out perceptions are vastly different and therefore it’s up to the (informed) person to take over their life and do what’s necessary to not be miserable.
The Secret in the Spots on Monarch Butterflies’ Wings
When the iPhone came out the criticism was cost and lack of keyboard. When the iPad came out the criticism was the name and it’s just a giant iPhone. When Airpods came out the criticism was that it looks ugly and who would wear them in public. Similar with the watch.

It’s easy to criticize. My complaint about the criticism of the Apple Vision is that it largely boils down to: It’s different and doesn’t solve existing problems and I can’t imagine people using it.

Great products sometimes don’t solve existing problems. They sometimes create a need. I’m very excited about the possibility of the Apple Vision. If it’s as good as Apple touts, and this remains to be seen, then I think it will usher in a new era.
What I learned trying to build an AI coding assistant
Show HN: I built a free tool that helps write funny viral tweets like Elon Musk
That was a strange one. My Freshman year of college I wore AirPods and everyone looked at like I was an idiot with too much money.

By my Junior year everyone was wearing AirPods and there was a greater stigma against people with wired earbuds (“oh, you can’t afford AirPods?“).

That was only 2 years. I think this AVP is more of a dev tool than a consumer product, but I think by v2 or v3 Apple will pull it off.
I see no mention of reCAPTCHA tracking users. They are "sending data about device and application data", which seems like a completely natural thing considering what reCAPTCHA is used for.
Coroutines/continuations are not “basically jumping into a random place in a function”. It's pausing the execution of a function in a well-defined place with well-defined, understandable semantics for resuming the execution.
Few months after the start of the Gilet Jaune, they were not "blocking the country" anymore (I was answering a comment about this)...

And while not supporting the Gilet Jaune mode of action anymore, people still strongly supported and support the main ideas they pushed, like Citizens' initiative referendum, or the Solidarity tax on wealth
6 Reasons You Don't Need an SRE Team
Honestly captchas haven’t been effective for a while. They’ve been pretty trivial to bypass.
Can anyone tell me why so many distros only offer LUKS instead of LUKS2 at installation phase?
It's a good option purely for cosmetics but don't rely on it for any kind of serious obscurity since it's trivially reversed. I've used it to great effect in the past to encode multiple integer values like start/end ID, sort order (0/1), etc. for cursor-based pagination. But that's only because there's nothing secret in those numbers. Just purely for convenience.
This was out in the middle of sea not much jurisdiction. I think the crew would need a labor union and refuse to work to improve the working conditions. Consider the guy was on the sub I'm sure he did everything he could think of.
Maybe proof of work based captchas will be a viable alternative, like https://github.com/mCaptcha/mCaptcha:

> mCaptcha makes interacting with websites (computationally) expensive for the user. A well-behaving user will experience a slight delay (no delay when under moderate load to 2s when under attack; PoW difficulty is variable) but if someone wants to hammer your site, they will have to do more work to send requests than your server will have to do to respond to their request.
First-hand experience.
I think it's important to highlight the difference between private group chats (e.g. the discord I have with my high school friends) and community hubs. For example, some discord servers serve as the entire knowledge base for some open source projects. I'm only advocating for preservation of the latter.
Well, it is also unnecessary, as simple OSS solutions exist.

Users however tend to be greatly annoyed and inconvenienced by reCAPTCHA, which has grown increasingly difficult to decipher for real users. It is basically insulting to present real users with a CAPTCHA.
I think it’s more just that some people have fun doing drugs and are irritated at the hoops they have to jump through to have that fun. I’m sure you can live without the smells of a bakery, but I presume you’d be irritated if you weren’t allowed to enjoy those smells.
Not to mention that due to tolerance build up, you can't take LSD/psilocybin too often. And also, they don't "make you" wanna take them often either.

This might be anecdotal, but even though they can be fun, but they're also very exhausting and make you introspective and also kinda encourage you to think about improving different aspec of your life. Sure, there's some bad trips that make people psychotic, but I think that legalisation and regulations would help protect those peope, rather than harm them, because there's usually an underlying condition that triggers such an episode. On the flip side, I've had bad trips a few times and they usually taught me a lot about myself, the people around me, and how I lived life at the, which in turn pushed me to change for the better, and improve some aspects of my life.
CAPTCHAs are overused because of groupthink and fashions/fads. Before you use a CAPTCHA of any kind, consider very carefully if you really need one.

I've seen this a number of times in design meetings: someone will say "oh, an account registration form, we will of course need a CAPTCHA there", everyone will nod their heads and move on. In reality, in most of those cases, no one will ever conceivably even try to automate/script the thing being designed.
Not sure how that's relevant.

> The law is the law, if it's unfair it gets changed.

That's the part that doesn't match reality.
So, I had a similar reaction. I'm about as libertarian as you can get with drug regulation, but found it odd that the article seemed to ignore the public health risk management arguments for drug regulation.

Still, we allow plenty of dangerous things to go unregulated, or far less regulated than drug use. Alcohol use is a glaring example, but you could go through a litany of things that US society legally allows that are very risky: guns, motorcycles, chainsaws, BASE jumping, various chemical cleaners and solvents, all kinds of sexual behavior, and so forth and so on.

Yes there are some that develop serious drug problems from use per se, but most do not, and those that do often (although not always) tend to be polyusers in the sense that if you look at their problems, it's often difficult to attribute it to a specific substance. So empirically there's a stretch to go from any use, to use of a specific substance, to such irreparable harm that it should be made illegal.

There's also many other mechanisms society has for regulating drug use, like revocation of rights due to incompetence in decision making (legally speaking), and so forth.

This isn't even getting into our hubris in uncertainty about potential benefits of substances, as manifested by changes in public discourse around psychedelics over the last century.

Seen from this perspective, the article might have a point about drugs being treated differently, as if by absence of discussion, the author is implicitly asserting that risk management is not actually the issue. But I still think the article would have been more effective by making that argument explicitly.

Then again maybe the author just thought public health risk management was a different, additional issue.
You are abusing it and I am making complaints right now to your payment provider and hosting. Thanks.
This does not add any information. The article doesn't say anything about an FBI watch list, it says NSA flagged people for extra surveillance.
Great article ! Thanks. I will definitely think about this approach when teaching my kids.

I'm currently watching some videos by David Beazley, and he does several talks on coroutines in Python - very much recommended.
A Code of Conduct is like a contract. It formalizes norms and expectations so everyone is bound by the agreement on what to do when things go wrong. If you need one to set that culture, something's already wrong, and a contract/CoC won't help you.
I think you misunderstood OP's comment, they were talking about _economy class_ in airplanes, not school classes.
Air drumming feels much nicer with drumsticks. You actually get tactile feedback this way if you use a relaxed grip and let the butt of the stick hit your palm.

I make Aerodrums and that operates at 125Hz for the mocap. As far as I understand, Apple Vision Pro tracks hands at 83Hz. They would need to improve that (and provide developers what they need to do a good job determining the position of the drumstick tip), for an air drumming app to be possible without accessories that plays to a musical instrument standard.

I've replied elsehwere in the thread plugging our live Kickstarter for Aerodrums 2, check it out, it only has 7 days to go.
ORMs are criticized for the wrong reasons
While I don't have any particular interest in these devices, and won't be getting one, I'm in the general demographic that could easily afford them.

I'd never fly business, not if I was paying for it myself. I don't think I know anyone who flies business routinely for personal stuff; it really tends to be very, very expensive for what you get.
Canadian culture is indeed structured around awkward and illogical politeness rituals which can make you crazy. And for the most part they are more like "politeness signalling", just a façade of niceties without any actual kindness or consideration behind them. In the end I had to leave because it amounts to a kind of omnipresent cultural gaslighting.
I suspect that total energy increases proportionally to mass, all other things (like velocity) equal, meaning an N*2 kg vehicle traveling at 100 kph has twice as much energy as an N kg vehicle traveling at 100 kph

and since that energy factors strongly into the outcome for the other vehicle, I suspect that this means weight is what determines the impact on safety just as much, if not moreso (particularly since speeds are regulated already)
i haven't had an opportunity yet to work with rust. it is something i want to try. i actually like the idea of being constrained and forced to find different ways to solve a problem because i think i can learn something from that. i guess that haskell should be equally challenging. i actually expected that challenge from lisp too, but i was rather disappointed to discover that this wasn't the case and lisp isn't really that much different, neither was smalltalk. it's a nice language, but message-passing doesn't feel any different from method/function calling, so it's not really a different paradigm that affects the structure of your code.
So, banning low-compute-capacity clients in the worst way possible. Awesome.
I'm pretty sure that's not the case. The EU law is pretty vague, specifying only that data is stored on your terminal. Local storage also counts. You might not be doing anything with it, but you still need the consent.
I am a bit envious of your apparent lack of akrasia. I read a similar argument to yours by Abraham Maslow ("Motivation and Personality" I believe?) and have the same reaction then as I do now. The inner worlds of different human beings can be radically different. Sometimes we forget that and assume our experiences or ways of experiencing are universal. Some people have aphantasia, others (more lucky perhaps) don't have akrasia or at the very least can sufficiently overcome it by bringing to mind whether or not one wants to do the task at-hand. Not all of us are so blessed, although all of us could probably benefit from weighing the costs and benefits of doing tasks that we believe need to be done but still have resistance to doing.
> Do people really actually like podcasts?

I don’t know whether other people do but I certainly do. I listen to Rich Roll or Peter Attia while running and find the interviews they do informative or inspiring or both. I could listen to music instead but despite the options I still find myself choosing to listen to podcasts. Same thing happens on the rare occasion when I have to drive a distance longer than 30 min - I nearly always find myself choosing a podcast and excited to get into something interesting!

You are right though - try cooking dinner while listen to a podcast and I’ll screw it up. Too much competition for cognitive load between these activities.
Are you referring to like microdoses (in regards to the difficulty focusing)? Or larger than that?
My go-to pattern for many years now is to use a plain bigint autoincrement column for internal database relations and then a uuid for application-level identifiers and natural keys. Basically never use the uuid as the actual primary key because they're enormous and now the DBMS has to copy that gigantic number to every side of the relation. Don't do it
> deadlocks

uh, i might be out of the loop, what's wrong with the word "deadlock" now ?
I believe they are edible. So, just eat them all
I have no idea. As AI generated content becomes more prevalent and as bots become a huge percentage of online comments I hope it will lead to people leaving the internet. For the most part I think the dead internet theory will become a reality. I hope humans will develop coping mechanisms.
Ugh, yeah, why should private commuters have to adhere to traffic laws if we can just apply them to commercial drivers exclusively.

But more seriously, that's not how it works. The regulations are already very permissive for smaller businesses. The heavy fines exist for the worst offenders. If you can demonstrate you made a conscious effort and just fell short and have already started trying to make amends when notified, that's often good enough. Of course if you just throw your hands up and decide privacy is just too hard, you'll be treated like any other loose gun.
Depend which kind of Neo-Nazi organization (they are illegal in France and most of them in France do like to punch people and say it), and co-organized with whom, and depend on what is saying these Neo-Nazi

But for sure I do blame Neo-Nazi for being Neo-Nazi !
We ignored them until we needed them. Then we needed them.
These people need to read Nineteen-Eighty-Four and reflect on how it shines a light on their own behavior.
The question of a priori regulations is interesting because you basically have three options :

- ask people not involved in the field, and risk not understanding enough

- ask people involved in the field, and risk conflicts of interests

- don’t do it, and be blamed by future generations when a disaster happen.
Smart! As someone who has similar challenges, this was interesting to read.

Edit: Good luck with the report. Just the word "report" makes me convulse :)
Can I ask which generation you're a member of? I truly think different demographics prefer different styling. FWIW, I personally prefer to use old reddit and like the layout of HN, but can also appreciate Discord's styling.
Sorry, I sent my comment before it was done. It's edited now.
There's some research that shows that microdosing psilocybin isn't nearly (or at all) as effective as taking a regular dose. "Heroic" doses seem most promising from the neurological/neuroplasticity aspect, but yeah they can be... Quite something (even when you take care of S&S).
> If anyone has experience with remote editing in a terminal editor, but not through an ssh shell (ie, the traditional way), I'm very interested in hearing your experience.

As usual, emacs has a mode for everything:

https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TrampMode
Most things become a "different" problem (from legal enforcement perspective) when the scale changes. Without entering in the merit of whether laws in question are good/bad, it's understandable to have a different legal regime at larger scale, such as harsher punishment above certain thresholds.
And AI-generated content changes the scale of many many things you can do.
There is a book from 1984, The Unix Programming Environment, by Brian Kernighan and Rob Pike.(https://archive.org/details/UNIXProgrammingEnvironment)

It is pretty much how I use the computer today, with few improvements with emacs and tmux. As I am teaching my daughter how to use cat/cut/grep etc, I am doing so truly thinking that this is the best way to use a computer in 2023.

The other day I was teaching her few shortcuts ^P and so on, I thought that maybe its time to re-think this whole cursor and keybinds thing. With apples vr magic goggles maybe someone can make an editor that I can follow code and write text and have 50 chats with some llm discussing various parts of the code I am working on.

All editors are limited by monitor space, the linux kernel style guide still has 80 column recommendation (not a hard limit since 2020), the way we jump into and out of code, or we step into thing, all are very limited and are pretty much the same since 1984.

I hope soon we have tooling like in the Hackers movie (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113243/) and use our eyes more to be able to follow code and systems.

The complexity of the systems has increased (e.g. cloud, hundreds of services, even LSP, tons and tons of boilerplate and generated code), but our tools are stuck.
Users of drugs are not necessarily abusing drugs nor are they necessarily reliant. I wouldn’t go so far as to say you don’t “get it”, but your assumptions here certainly don’t indicate open-mindedness.
Typically when I see people sitting close to ~48" 4K TVs for productivity they have to rely on window tiling to make it more akin to using four 24" 1080p monitors that happen to be joined together, the display is simply too big to comfortably work fullscreen like you can on a dense 24-27" 4K-5K monitor, which is the "Retina experience" that Mac users are accustomed to. A TV gives you the 4K pixel count, but distributed over so much area that in practice you can only focus on a small subset of it at once, which is basically the same problem the Vision Pro has.
> no one will ever conceivably even try to automate/script the thing being designed.

Spammers will spam everywhere they can. My minuscule personal site suffers from it very rarely, but I can imagine anyone getting a lot of page views making it worth it.
Well I would put English in this category too, even if it has a much more recent and convoluted history.

People who speak very unrelated languages find much easier to learn Italian, Spanish or French after they learn English. Not so with e.g. Arabic
I don't know. I run a SaaS that allows free user signup and significantly more than 50% of my daily signups are just signup "spam", without any visible motivation for doing so. The user name or information doesn't show up anywhere publicly and there is no inherent value in having a free user account. I've implemented some basic countermeasures (dummy form fields which reject the submission) which wasn't enough. I've added reCaptcha, and I'm still getting 50% spam signups from working (!) gmail addresses, meaning someone is able to receive emails on these. The majority of these are from places like India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, etc.

I don't event want to know what my site would look like without my own countermeasures + reCaptcha + if it was a service where a user account has any kind of "value"...
I had a Treo when the iPhone was first announced and I wasn't in a big hurry to make the switch. It wasn't until the 3GS that, like a lot of people, I jumped on board. (I don't specifically remember but I assume app availability also improved over those first few years.)
This other comment [1] says Apple claims to have specifically worked on that problem. My assumption would indeed be that they're fusing inputs from IMU and external cameras to help it work on planes.
