I agree. Videos and vision are powerful but I think most still underestimate the cost of wearing something on your face for more than a few mins.

I see the opposite phenomena after Apple Vision Pro announcement. Many seem to love VR / AR but never tried it. Retention numbers with current tech indicate that cost of wearing a headset exceeds the value proposition for most people and use cases. Maybe Apple Vision Pro will change that. Excited to see.

>Civil forfeiture is not theft (although it certainly feels like it to victims, and there are similarities between the two concepts).

How do you figure?

The way I see it, civil forfeiture IS theft. Taking something that belongs to someone else without their consent is theft and that seems to be precisely what civil forfeiture consists of. Just because a court has labelled it differently if someone in a blue hat does it does not make it suddenly not theft. It is simply court-sanctioned theft.

Another way of looking at it is - one company has a deep history of shipping successful and often innovative hardware products, and the other one doesn't.

It's hard to argue that that the one that ships is taking the wrong approach.
Just published my first marketing book
Hello there!

I have been a novelty hunter for quite a while around here but I am finally launching my first product on product hunt.

The Orange Book of Marketing is a byproduct of 11 years of experience in the marketing industry where I have navigated throughout many different industries and had the opportunity to create two brands that are distributed around the American cannabis market, Chief Stix and HHemp.

The Orange Book of Marketing is being launched as an early-access product and a collaborative project that I intend to improve and develop with the feedback of our readers!

I hope you like it! Make sure you grab the discount by using the code: PHUNT10.

How many parameters do these models have?
Sorry about that I had been drinking... Will try to do better in the future.
Yes. Similar to pre emphasis in baseband telecommunication standards in band limited media.
You're of course technically right, but I would argue that in practice Audible is also a gatekeeper due to their dominant and successful position (though of course to a lesser degree than Apple). I have family members and friends that will not even consider buying an audiobook if it's not on Audible. That's a testament to Audible's good work at making a good platform, and I believe Audible deserves to be in the position they are in. But, I do think they have effective gatekeeper status, and a lot of that is a result of their exclusivity practices. By ensuring that there can't be any other audiobook store out there that has all the books a person wants, and that you can't sideload a book into your Audible library that you purchased elsewhere, they force a high level of inconvenience on anybody who wants to buy a book somewhere else.

"Genre" here means genre fiction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genre_fiction, the sort of mass-market books like romance, fantasy, science fiction and horror. Compare with literary fiction like classics and poetry. It can be used derogatorily to separate commercial literature from "real" literature since genre fiction were usually printed on cheap trade paperbacks, sold in volume and read for entertainment compared to more serious literary and artistic fiction, but I don't think many people today would make that distinction.
I've posted here before that I was top 0.3% nationwide in car sales, selling about 34 semi luxury cars a month average.

I never felt my job was pointless. I felt the opposite. If I didn't answer my phone, a total idiot was going to answer it. If I didn't get to the customer, someone was going to lie to them or omit useful info and they'd get screwed a bit. Someone would frustrate them so much they'd buy something they don't even want just to avoid that dealership.

So I felt a mission to get to as many people as I could.

If you're good at your job, and have some integrity, it's easy to value your job even if it's sales.

Meta literally changed their name for this space, and Apple is going to beat them to market with a mass market product. This is clearly reactive "we have to show something" vaporware.

Rats is probably an improvement over the usual mice. Rats actually naturally have very high cancer rates… in captivity rats live an absolute max of 2 years, and about 80% of them will die because of some sort of cancer.

In the wild it’s less so, but only because the average lifespan is less than a year (predation, traps, etc).
Why does this affect whether it is a war crime or not?

Imperial Japan committed numerous war crimes, whether or not they agreed that they were war crimes at the time. By the same token anything that was done to them should not be judged by what their own standard was.
Oh! I've never seen one of those at all, so I thought we were talking about email.
The most intelligent person ever born could still die to a gun. In these discussions superintelligent AI can be more accurately described as "the genie" or "God". If you assume omniscience and omnipotence I guess nothing else matters. But intelligence is not equal to power, and never has.

Second, if you are able to set a goal then during this setting you can set many constraints, even fundamental ones. There is no reason the goal is more fundamental than the constraint. If I approve, make paperclips. Efficiently make 100 paperclips.

It's the duality of being able to set a rule but not being able to set a constraint that I find a strange concept. I lean towards the picture of not being able to set goals nor constraints at all.
Yeah, I was referring to the name choice. Edict being “A decree or proclamation issued by an authority and having the force of law.”

IMO the main reason more people aren’t using Web Components is because React doesn’t support them.

Preact does it just fine so I have to assume it’s possible but simply not in the interests of the React team. React feels like the enterprise lock-in of 2020s development: if you use it you’re using it top to bottom and it’s very difficult to mix and match with other frameworks. It’s a shame.

Great question! So particularly if you have a high deductible health plan (which has become the most popular plan for Americans over the last decade) or a plan with a copay that doesn't cover every service (which is most plans), it's common to receive unexpected medical bills.

A simple example for me is I had a high deductible health plan (while working as a software engineer at Uber) where I went to see a dermatologist to remove a wart, but I had no idea how much it would cost until weeks or months after the visit. It turns out that cost of seeing a dermatologist and getting liquid nitrogen treatment can vary by hundreds of dollars depending on where you go, even if you use your insurance.

So Certainly shows you the upfront price that is specific to your insurance and lets you compare prices across providers. And if you book through us, you don't need to worry about surprise bills since we guarantee that you won't owe more than the prices we show upfront.
I think they are also more generally useful in case of an accident where you find yourself pinned and the seatbelt won’t release or the door is damaged and won’t open. At least that is what a friend said they wish they had had when they saw a car that was in an accident and on fire but they couldn’t get into the car to help.
The little mini-game of "what third party script domains do I have to enable in uMatrix to make this website work" is starting to get really grating these days. Especially for payment processors.
For an interesting perspective on this, I'd recommend Ryan Holiday's book Perennial Seller.

In it he describes the process of both his writing and his marketing.

You're not done writing when the chapter is written, that is just the start. All the editing is the time consuming part.

The marketing needs to be part of the plan before the writing starts. It isn't "write a book and then sell it". He's continuously building his audience, trying to figure out what to write, writing, editing, "selling" (not actively selling, but doing the work to get feedback or get people excited about what he is writing).

Repeat, repeat, repeat.

Everyone mentioning multiple apps such as "rectangle" or "amethyst" doesn't really understand how restrictive they are compared to tools like i3 or sway.

I don't know many (any?) people who are greenfielding just-JavaScript, though. If you're using JavaScript in anger, you should probably be using TypeScript, and now you've got a build step regardless.

Which is not a bad thing. Incremental builds have gotten much better and much easier to deal with.

> Which makes sense: Apple is Product Vision & UX focused, Meta (and most other companies) are Product Delivery & User Consumption focused.

They are not competing goals.

All companies have to show progress.

Apple can afford to show finished products because it has multiple product lines. At any given time, at least one product line is shipping a finished version.

Meta, on the other hand, won't be shipping a finished product for their pitch ("Meta"-verse) anytime soon. So they have to be content with work-in-progress.

These DRM rules are similar to ones on movies, TV shows bought in previously iTunes store, now "TV" app. Once you buy it, you can only view it on their devices/software.

It's not similar to buying a physical version of your movie on a DVD, and owning it. This has huge ramifications. People spending 1000's of $ on sites cannot own them, nor even transfer them (sell) to another account. Which is why physical copies are still attractive to own.

There's also issues of buying something that entirely disappears. https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnarcher/2018/09/17/apple-res...
A 40% cut makes sense in a world where Amazon pays the voice actor.

My understanding is that is not how this works. The author pays the voice actor, or the publisher does. Amazon is paying for hosting an audio file, basically, and the development of the player app, and that's it.

I think in the very early days, Amazon may have paid all the voice actors itself (because no one was on board with audio yet at that point), and the 40% royalty model may have made sense. But I believe that is not how it works now, and 40% royalties make a lot less sense in the world we now live in; it seems to be just purely predatory.
They do keep people employed in useless jobs though. Sometimes hiring shuts down, sometimes they do purges of useless jobs, but it's the larger population that shows the trend.
Ollama is the best I have seen if you want to play around with LLMs.

After installing the application and running it, you run "ollama run <model name>" and it handles everything and drops you into a chat with the LLM. There are no dependencies for you to manage -- just one application.

Check out the README: https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama#readme
I'm on an MBA m1 running Ventura. MacOS is really horrible:

- I've given up getting the permissions on my folder share (Samba) to stick. MacOS keeps reverting to defaults, with means everyone has full read/write permissions. Network files sharing should be a fundamental feature without hassle. Not I'm forced to read up on how to share using NFS.

- I created a FAT32 partition to share files with Asahi. I also setup GDrive syncing on it. Unfortunately, MacOS keep creating these annoying files starting with ._xxx for each single folder and file (and there are hundreds of them). I'm not sure why.

- I had to wipe the machine and do a re-install to enable third-party kernel extensions to load

- The system volume (the primary SSD) on the system does not appear in finder. I keep dragging it to the finder side-bar, and it keeps disappearing under unclear circumstances.

- I just now got a black screen of death after ejecting some mounted drives on my other Mac, an intel running Mojave.

- When I maximize windows, they don't fill up the screen. Usually they increase in size by what seems a random amount. Most times I have to manually drag the edges to fill up the screen. Even after that, a lot of time there is some small margin below the window that cannot be fixed. it's a small issue, but very annoying.

- And too many other weird stuff to list here.
(in terms of how expensive it is)
Is it possible that with different hyperparameters, LLAMA 2 would be more faithful to the original? I'm pretty surprised that it would hallucinate anything majorly different than the source material, since that task seems pretty "easy" for LLMs these days.
Remember them crypto sites that claimed users in the tens of thousands that never existed? Yeah this is them rebranded and pivoted.
I'm only looking for facts, not trying to stimulate FUD etc: didn't RedHat announce something that seemed to decrease their commitment to Fedora, or was that just RHEL and CentOS type enterprise stuff? (I'm a Fedora user, and I do/would not look forward to switching.)
Perhaps with both 'hallucination' and 'confabulation' there are suggestions of both thought and absence of thought. The former suggestions are likely anthropomorphic. Suggesting some seamless lack of thought might not be?

Yes they are easier for quick calculations than softwares.
I think this and the parent comment are partially a driver of Apples response.
The current state of the tech is kind of shrug worthy.
Might seem like a neat gimmick, might make some games better, might make you motion sick. Essentially a niche product indefinitely.

I think the current market targeting the $200-500 price point is a large part of the problem. If you think about what's needed to make this well vs say, the phone in your pocket, how is a good VR implementation going to come out cheaper than the phone?

Apple is basically throwing the kitchen sink at the space in terms of compute, optics, sensors, and software.. with a price tag to match. If it's going to work, it's probably going to work at that price point first.
"when using the normal door button, a Tesla's windows lower slightly to equalize the air pressure"

Not correct - the real reason is because the Tesla windows are frameless and it is not possible to open or close the door without the window colliding with the gasket as it swings into place. The soft open button tells the window to retract by a sight amount allowing the window enough clearance to prevent it from colliding with the gasket.
If the door is emergency opened it takes a bit of the gasket with it. Normal cars have a frame around the window so the gasket is always with the window which can only move up and down, but the Tesla has the possibility of the window rotating sideways in addition to up and down.

The fact that my M2 has an effectively double size battery from my Fedora based Thinkpad (M2 has a 100Wh battery, while the Thinkpad has a 57Wh) means it just needs to be not terribly less efficient than x86 Fedora laptop for me to be happy, which from the sounds of it is already the case.

Here's one from ChatGPT: https://chat.openai.com/share/37581cd5-f188-44db-b0f1-52a070... (It was too long for me to watch too.)
Looking at a far object relaxes the muscles, while looking close tenses them. Any deviation from this is somewhat uncomfortable. Fixed focus displays mean that, when you look far, your eyes relax, expecting the physics to be correct, but then have iterate to focus at 3m (or whatever the fixed distance is). Same with near objects. The eyes tense, things go wrong, then they drift back to 3m.

Blurring can be applied, but that doesn't change the physics that your eyes expects, which causes the disconnect and discomfort, which varifocal displays solve.
Yes they have. Unless I dreamed watching a bunch of YouTube videos of people trying on different prototypes at their office last year and talking about different tradeoffs they're considering.
You can use some of them. They have an “AI powered” search (as if their previous search isn’t considered AI anymore). It’s an experiment you can turn on. For programming questions it’s not terrible.

That said, there are a ton of “look at this cool thing out research team did” and then you never hear about them again things from Google. They even built a music generator that was closed to the public until recently.

Modern JS frameworks are heavily mixing mostly static with limited amounts of interactive components but all in one system. Where everything can still be the same component architecture, the same UI systems, same CSS/JS packages, same build systems, etc but you selectively choose which components (or small sections of a page) are interactive and require hydration.

I don't really see how Web components fill that picture as cleanly. You would basically still forced to choose between component overhead/custom code OR static HTML, creating a formal discintion rather than a boolean or flag or whatever. Why create that distinction just because it's "native" to the browser? The DOM is sufficient when your default is static and components are always SSR in the same DOM model.

It basically only makes sense if you're not building a "holistic" single frontend framework driven site and rather are mixing various server side view systems and occasionally adding a couple components.

Basically the sort of thing better suited for major legacy sites like Google rather than something you'd ever choose from the ground up.
It's absolutely a side effect of training rather than a bolt-on rule. As I understand and infer: They applied some forms of censorship as thumbed-down in Kenya for $2/hr, and the model updated on some simple pattern that explained those, and learned to talk like a generally censored person - one that resembled text like that in the training data. It learned to pinpoint the corporate mealy-mouthiness cluster in textspace.
These people aren't "using" numbers that they own. The phone system largely does not track or care about the actual source of a phone call, and the caller ID value is only voluntary metadata that is not expected to correspond to the source of the call (it often doesn't in legitimate situations). The telephone system simply doesn't have a sense of "from" in the way that even protocols like email do; most telephone equipment neither knows or cares who the call is from. You don't need control of a single telephone number to introduce calls into the system.

STIR/SHAKEN was created essentially to address this problem by introducing a strict sense of the origin of a call for the first time. STIR/SHAKEN is still early in its process but it does already make it easier for the industry tracing group to determine the actual source of these calls. STIR/SHAKEN compliance is also relatively expensive so it has sort of created a pay-to-play situation, both raising prices a bit and introducing a sort of KYC to the telecom industry where getting VoIP termination service now often involves sending the provider a passport, business registration documents, etc.

And for what it's worth, getting a phone number for inbound calls already involves a fee and $1/month is actually pretty close on for an average. It goes as low as around $0.20 a month from low-cost bulk providers and as high as $8/mo from some more consumer-oriented services (that nonetheless offer DIDs). It's just that control of a phone number (prior to STIR/SHAKEN) only matters for inbound, not outbound.
