> but didn't know there was stuff in-market which is meaningfully better than the Vision Pro (assuming you mean screens, tracking, pass through)?

I know you're being facetious, but you owe yourself an investigation into how far they've come. Pimax 8k, PSVR, Quest Pro... Apple's headset isn't exactly pushing anything we haven't seen before. I was talking about the literal performance ceiling, a-la available compute.

> So my bet would be that Apple -- a company which is preoccupied with trying to build products consumers genuinely love (or which builds products which people are brainwashed into loving, if you believe the HN conspiracy theorists) -- can figure out how to reduce the ASP of a Vision headset to $999 faster than Meta can figure out how to create a resonant user experience at their existing price point.

That's a bet I would take you on, but it's full of moving goalposts (eg. "resonant user experience").

If the Vision Pro is Apple's new rough baseline for VR user experiences, it will take time and iteration to lower it to the sub-$1000 price point. Time for the processes to mature and yield better with cheaper costs, but also iteration on an already-expensive concept that needs enormous re-engineering efforts to have the same margins at $3500 as it does at $999. At Vision Pro margins this hypothetical headset would have a ~$400 BOM and likely diminished specs from Vision Pro. From the offset, M1/M2 is off the table - they're too expensive and unnecessary for the majority of baseline uses. They would need another SOC, more like a reworked iPhone/iPad chip with doubled GPU resources. The glass and aluminum design would need to get downgraded to cheaper materials, and the displays would need to be lower resolution to both accommodate a lower price point and a lower performance target.

It's possible. It will just take a long time for suppliers to develop and for Apple to improve their own processes. In that time, Meta's goal is just to improve eye tracking, push higher resolutions and expand the current multitasking options. It doesn't seem that unrealistic to me, given the current state of Oculus software and how far the Quest Pro got as a $1500 headset.

> Is there anything about the task of creating a compelling user experience with hardware/software and combining huge scale efficiencies and expertise in manufacturing and supply chain to lower cost over time which makes you think Meta has an advantage over Apple?

Apparently none of that stuff has been a roadblock to producing 10 million+ of them at an affordable price. The software experience has been pretty great for me, almost "Switch-like" for the price. I think that has the potential to keep selling - I think Apple's idea will really only be popular among a smaller group of users. If they surpass Meta's install base before 2030, it will be a bona-fide miracle.
That won't work, because most copyrighted material is worthless, and we can't predict what retains value in the long run, and most don't. Mickey is a rare example of value surviving to the point it was worth (in dollars) protecting.

That's why I prefer a flat tax.

15% goes to the copyright/patent distribution system. Anyone can copy and profit off anything, but just pays 15% into the system.

The system then pays out based on the rules and registration information.

Public domain is then redefined as whatever is tax free.

And, you can also buy anything directly from the government.

Prices are determined by market value if it's a physical product. For digital goods, some rules may have to be defined, and maybe rules to define rules defined. Copies of songs could all just be 25 cents, etc. Books 2.99. But this is to own a copy (defined as having a copy on your system plus having paid for it). Just listening to a copy could be free.

At least this is the direction I wish the world were headed.
I have an idea. Let’s describe binaural recording, but then not mention it by name. Let’s also say that all of the specialists and engineers that designed atmos didn’t really create anything different and weren’t aware they could just make binaural recordings.

Here’s something that’s a big deal- when you mix a stereo recording, you can pan the audio tracks left or right. When you work with something like atmos or a surround system, you have control of where that sounds sits in a spacial field, which then gets played through those cans on the left and right side of the head. It’s different.
I too found the total 180° on who was complaining about 'bluechecks' quite amusing, especially when complete sentences match up.

I may just be experiencing frequency bias though, as I've long been amused/annoyed by words and phrases quickly coming to mean radically different things.

I don’t think you are aware of the depth of depravity users of kf engaged in, regularly. I said wanna be murderers, you know, the weird kids with poor social skills that probably have shit home lives and get bullied/ostracized harshly. When they find community on these boards they also find recruiters for all sorts of awful communities from neo nazis to pedophiles to whatever.

>A “haven” for murderers would not obsessively archive information relating to murderers, such as social medias (which consistently delete the information to avoid being associated), prior convictions, etc with the intent to study and publicly shame them.

This is not logical. Many murderers study infamous murder cases to learn how to be better murderers. For some it may merely be a morbid curiosity, for others, it’s research. You cannot discern the intentions from the comments, but rather the outcomes, which speaks voluminously; if you’d bother to look for the reports on this.

>KiwiFarms can be attributed to the destruction of a CP/animal torture ring and multiple arrests, due to their archival efforts and Internet sleuthing.

And 4chan got a terrorist training camp bombed. And Reddit got an innocent killed during the hunt for the Boston bomber. These are not examples of uniformly good character, even the worst criminals have soft spots. Nazis made some wondrous technology, should we forgive their attempted genocides and eugenics?

Re cloud flare, I support shaming them for this support of bad actors and hurting their bottom line but that is off topic goal post moving.
This is probably a big part of why people don’t generally opt out of iOS upgrades: they’re basically just annual app upgrades packaged together (notwithstanding some pretty conspicuous Safari updates in recent point releases), anything OS level is mostly iteration on a mostly stable core and has been for almost a decade.

I do think they could and should be more aggressive with security updates. Both by releasing/messaging those separately from other kinds of point releases (improving but not great), and by notifying sooner/more frequently. It definitely irks me when I find out about a critical security patch over a week after it was available, and that the security content is a secondary link with no immediate conveyance of its urgency. And they should also make it a lot more obvious how to go find out if an update is even available in the first place.

Even today(?)’s rapid response, I had to read about it on some site and then remember the incantation to go look to see if the update was available. Of course it was, so I tapped download and install. After waiting a while, I switched to another thing. When I came back, it was downloaded and ready and waiting for another affirmative to do the thing I already requested. I should not need to do any of this when I have automatic updates on.
For example:

I’m not clear what this has to do with your parent comment being disingenuous.

Does Musk “winning” make you feel better about things?
I never saw anyone using it (in the security and program analysis field), to be honest, probably used mostly in DoE. It's an interesting concept but looks bare bones and unfinished for any meaningful use. I think it targets some legacy languages rather than mainstream tools, for example, Jovial. Last time (5 years ago or so admittedly though) I tried it on some C codebase, it failed to handle it.

Kudos to LLNL for open sourcing it and putting on GitHub though.

The CI time bomb is the point. Other strategies are proven ineffective. It makes sense to either say:

1. The CI failures aren’t worth it. I accept the zombie flags.

2. Here’s a specific solution that will lead to zombie flags being removed and at a lower cost.

Gesturing to “find another way” doesn’t solve it.
Interesting idea, but I think I'll stick with DNS challenge and LetsEncrypt. Lazy me really needs to finally sit down and automate the process (all the pieces are in place on my registrar's side). Did the private CA thing for almost two decades, and yes, it was a PITA, but even that was mostly because I failed to invest the time to automate it (Linux and Windows devices aren't _that_ hard to manage with OSS tools, printers might be a harder challenge; Android refusing to play nice with private DNS just makes it easier to disregard it altogether, as do all those IoT firmwares that don't even pretend to give you a choice). Ultimately, the current infrastructure, like that for message encryption, is just too damn convoluted. Eventually it might get fixed, but I'll probably be long retired to an Internet dead zone by then (raising goats can't be harder than managing fleets of application servers, can it?).
Both of the Android phones I bought (not particularly cheap ones) were unsupported with new updates within three years. Never again.
Yes, I am aware of the re-capping nonsense. I was noting that caps do not live forever.

We did expand the header and change the version. That's what v6 does; it's set to 6 in v6 packets.

> We could have front padded all of the ipv4 32 bits at the router level and made it almost seamless to the end users.

This is a bit simplistic. You either haven't thought about it in nearly enough detail to figure out how it would work, or at least you haven't explained the detail to us.

It's easy to take "192.168.0.1" and write "0.0.0.0" in front of it, but then what? v4 devices don't support any way to do that on the network and v4 software can't handle the extra address length, so... what are you actually suggesting to do here? How can whatever it is be seamless if the devices that end users are using don't support it?

I can describe a working scheme that might be what you're thinking of. You could make something that's basically a version of NAT but where the inside addresses are v6. That would allow a v6 client to reach a v4 server by sending packets to a special v6 prefix that represents the v4 space; it would work essentially the same as NAT in v4 but with an extra header conversion step.

But... v6 already has this. I'm using this functionality on my desktop, which has no v4 address, and I can get to any website just fine. That includes Amazon and Github, just to be clear.

Why do you need to keep dealing with v4 when you can just do what I'm doing but at the ISP level? v6 doesn't need a different design to make this work, because it already works.
Plenty of things a mess, and amiss.
Except when you run across sites like https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web that intercept Ctrl-K for their own internal search tool.

There have been some studies recently screening older people who grew up with more restrictive diagnostic criteria for autism that suggest that increasing rates of autism diagnosis are likely purely the result of changing diagnostic criteria and increased awareness rather than increased prevalence of austism.

What are people using to listen to these spatial audio mixes? I tried some spatial songs on Amazon, but I was using my regular old Stereo headphones, so the experience was really poor.

Now that VR is a thing and cellphones have all sorts of gyroscopes and accelerometers in them, I wish there was an app to take one of these special tracks and have it actually respond to the orientation of the listener’s head. I’ll even strap my cellphone to my head like some sort of weirdo.
Ask HN: How does the prospect of AGI affects your retirement planning?
OpenAI now says they expect to see superintelligence this decade. It appears that among AI researchers the expected year of AGI appearance has shifted recently to be closer than it used to be.

I'm not a frontend engineer so I might be misunderstanding, but I thought react was creating representations of dom elements in the render function so that it only needs to apply diffs to the actual dom to keep the browser from eating cpu
I get why this currently appears downvoted, but I do think this is a real factor. The camera improvements in particular drive device sales and keep people on a software upgrade treadmill whether they’d update their older devices or not.
If I were a cert company whose target market were large enterprises unlikely to use LetsEncrypt, I would do it in order to undermine my competitors who might depend more on small businesses and other types of projects that find LetsEncrypt appealing.
Spatial audio isn't about quality of sound or number of channels. Your headphones track head movements and position of the audio source and use it to simulate surround sound.

Why does it have to be Boston Dynamic? There are lots of robot dogs out there now. I also agree with all the good points made by others already about low gravity (these dogs took a long time to get trained well against Earth's gravity, they won't "just work" on Mars or the moon). Wheels have their problems but are also very simple and hence fewer ways to fail.

SVG has… weirdnesses. I couldn’t say exactly what they are. But it feels like an older format from an XML-centric era. It also feels fairy lax on “optional features” and ambiguous spec (although I’m not sure this is true). There are noticeable differences between different rendering engines.

Most of drawing works fine as markup. However, animations and simple state changes are awful. CSS is much easier to use for some of those purposes.

I’d very much forgive SVG for its clunkiness, after all it’s old yet very powerful today. It’s a prime candidate for a revamp.
I think you're conflating spatial audio/binaural recording with a distribution format that enables the same with some benefits like the spatial audio being rendered at the point of playback and not recording.

> No, an artist absolutely should have a reasonable expectation that their improv at a coffee shop won't be ripped off next week by a billion dollar publisher.

Nah. There's no way for that artist to know if some other artist did the exact same bit a week earlier. If they happened to have done so, tough luck! Doesn't matter that you came up with it independently on your own.

> Which would be possible in a situation where someone has the power to do so, but this isn't always the case. In industries where there are large negotiating power imbalances between creators and others they work with, you will typically find that creators have little to no negotiation power. There's a reason we have many legal protections in many parts of the law outside of contract law.

> A spouse is the most formal of the examples I listed. And a spouse in many places is someone you've already entered into a formal legal agreement with. But to the contrary, I don't think it is reasonable to expect people bring NDAs to a first date.

Indeed, it's predicated on privacy. Don't share what you don't want to share.
It's refreshing to see the First Amendment prevail, for a change.
Yes, that's going to be relevant in about 7 years. In the meantime, Google should just include a trust store in their browser. Of course, project Treble was supposed to save us by now.

IMHO, Google really should work on reducing the OS to the minimum needed, and make it possible for apps to share dependencies. If App A and App B use the same X, it doesn't really need to be downloaded and stored twice. For X including CA bundles, libraries, etc. Then you push play store publishers to update libraries and what not to what is commonly installed.
I really like the showdead option this site has, and wish more sites used a similar setup.
Go ahead and keep doing that, while also letting public transportation get filthier and less safe every day. See what happens to car ownership.

If you are a public transit "activist", I'd suggest trying to actually improve public transit (like enforcing fares, hiring more operators, etc) instead of continuing your crusade against cars. Otherwise, speaking from personal experience, more people will give up on public transportation and turn to personal vehicles instead.

Honestly I think Apple has a good model for this. The value would be in making the box plug-and-play. Apple has proven people will pay a premium for devices that Just Work. It could still be built on open software. Some kind of a cross between Apple’s opinionated approach to defaults and RedHat’s pay-for-support model of developing open source software.
This is a poor solution to a non-problem. 99% of "private networks" don't need HTTPS for most things, full-stop. Those that do, the correct solution is to deploy a private CA and use internal DNS. The implication being you do not trust your network. So the solution is to.....use public DNS and Let's Encrypt garbageware and leak details of your internal network so you can pretend you're now more secure because the cafeteria menu is hosted over HTTPS? Save the black hats some time and just email them the Visio of your core network.

If you don't have access to install the root certificate then by definition you don't control the private network, simple as that.

> when you want to share the application with others

This is literally the definition of no longer a "private network".

Many people think of product, as achieve Supernova explosion and then just duplicate and sell.

In reality, product is lot of Supernova explosions.

1. You make one explosion (yes, its really hard), and deliver results to consumer.

2. You work hard to got ANY breadcrumbs of feedback.

3. You become Buddha of your product, trying to got some enlightenment from feedback.

4. You gather all your thoughts, and return to 1.

To make good hardware, you must repeat this steps at least 5 times. But if you have no previous experience, you will 3-5 times make dumb tries, before achieve good repeatability.

All semiconductors industry life is just constant repeat-repeat-repeat, sometimes make small advancement.
An e-cargo bike turned my wife into a daily bike commuter. It wasn’t just matching my bike’s child lugging capacity but also the ability to get to work faster every day, cancel out wind or a hot day, etc. You still get plenty of workout, just either shorter time or longer distance.

Based on people we know, this is pretty common. It’s become routine to see parents riding daily with 1-3 kids, people carrying tons of groceries, etc. I’m certain most of those would have been car trips 5 years ago.
