Doesn't it rely on external cameras to see users hands and use that as the "click" inputs? Seems like that negates usage for ALS cases.

Also, I'm not an ALS expert, but if the only muscular control is in the eyes, then lack of control in the head/neck probably breaks some assumptions about how the vision headset works (just a guess though).

I don't think it's fair to describe JARs this way. While it may be technically true, a JAR file is far less opaque than an actual binary executable.
The cone is placed close to the windshield and sensors, I seriously doubt a cone would wind up in that spot pretty frequently in normal driving conditions.

Also, I doubt it's a software problem: the cone is blocking a pretty substantial field of view. No amount of software can fix an occluded sensor. They might as well be spray painting over the cameras.

That's because the lack of zoning in Houston is a huge shell game. Sure, there's no zoning, but there are still location rules that provide similar advances. For instance, if you construct or add to a hotel, you have to provide access via a limited access freeway or a four-plus lane road and cannot access it from a residential street, and it cannot be within a certain distance of a church, school, park, etc.

Which is relevant because hotels and AirBnBs are pretty similar.

I know this is probably extremely eye rolling to read, but I looked at the store page, was quite interested, saw the "mobile app" and immediately had second thoughts because it just puts the device in e-waste when:

- You stop updating the app and my phone OS wont run it,

- My phone stops updating its OS and cant run the app, or

- The walled garden gates lock shut on you for whatever reason and I cant install the app, or

- You stop supporting my version of the display.

Is there any way to interact with the display without the companion app? Pushing raw bytes over the network is fine, just anything that doesn't require some phone.

In another eye rolling move, I also dont really consider a response of "we promise to opensource the companion app, or unlock the device if we go out of business" viable (what if you die unexpectedly?, or simply, dont care to follow through?).
This is the norm, no company "pulls out" of Russia, they just hand off the whole business to a proxy company they own (directly or indirectly), that will continue to sell the same product and service. It's just for show, they still continue operations.
We're seeing a lot of this in modern society. Social media, guns, politics . . . lots of areas where individual bad actors are overturning "social construction," norms, and trust because they can. Not realizing that a lot of those norms they're pissing all over are vital to having any kind of a society worth living in, which is why seeing them brazenly violated freaks a lot of people TF out. I don't want to live in the ultimate low-trust society because it seems it'd suck for any number of crappy reasons.

>I think this is a very succinct and sensible way of viewing programming

I think it's a quite obvious way. To program a program you must know the program. To know the program you must know how to explain it. I mean you just formalized in a list of 3 points what's obvious to everyone: To build something you must understand that thing. Duh.

It's a bit of snobbery and elusive language to package this stuff up under the word "theory". Do we call construction workers masters of building and and construction theory? No.

>I don't think the word "theory" itself is important to the paper

It's the title of the paper. It's important.

> I really don't care about "legitimating" anything to do with programming.

Everybody cares about this. If everyone in the world thought programming was akin to doing crack cocaine you likely wouldn't be programming. Nobody admits this, everybody thinks they're above it, but the reality is nobody can be completely above it and the people who spend the most time thinking that they aren't influenced by "legitimacy" are the ones most influenced by it.

Naurs use of the word "theory" and trying to use at as an analogy to programming is an obvious attempt to raise programming to the level of "theory" as in "quantum theory" or "the theory of general relativity" because that's what people generally associate the word with.

His paper failed to raise programming to that level because Naur failed to even completely understand what a "theory" is and the difference between something like "color theory" vs. "Number theory". Instead Naur took a flawed definition that he felt would fit his purposes and used that. At best Naur basically described programming in a way where it's just another "color theory".

Why not just call the paper, "Programming is learning about the subject of the application you are programming."? Same thing right? No that title is to self evident and obvious. He needed to add some spice to the title and call it a theory.

I don't think the "spice" was misplaced. His explanation was the thing that was lacking here.

I'm saying programming is a step above that. Programming can be theory building akin to building things like "Electromagnetic Theory".

Crumb is garbage collected (there is no need to manually allocated/deallocate memory)... though there is no background "garbage collector" process running... The interpreter for Crumb is a tree-walk interpreter, and it just frees memory whenever it can... Crumb frees memory in the following cases:

1) When a function is finished, all memory related to the scope of that runtime is freed.

2) When an value is not returned out of a statement, or assigned to a variable, said value is freed.

3) When a function is applied, if an argument has no reference (it is not stored in a variable), it is freed.

4) Additionally, if the function itself has no reference (such as in the case of an immediately invoked function), it is freed.

Hope that clarifies things a bit :D
> Whether it is able to understand it is a separate question.

But that question is relevant, because the utility of any monitoring depends on the subject's ability to evade it. There is negligible value in subjecting innocent people to invasive monitoring if actual criminals have an alternate path to unimpeded communications, because the criminals will disproportionately discontinue using the path subject to monitoring, resulting in a disproportionate cost to innocent people without impeding criminal activity.

> Though, yes it can and has accessed the content of encrypted data, whether because the encryption was broken in advance, or later because it recorded the contents and gained the information necessary to penetrate the encryption later, either through cryptanalysis or by other means of gathering intelligence.

No one has ever demonstrated a practical break of AES.

> Yes, there are some methods of getting data into the country for which the government’s ability to mitigate the effects of that are more limited, that is neither a legal nor much of a practical argument against mitigations measures where they are practical.

It implies that other mitigation methods are useless, because anyone transferring contraband can merely switch to the method not subject to monitoring or censorship, if that wasn't where they started because those methods are more efficient than physical transport to begin with. And if something is easily evaded and therefore useless, surely it can justify no exceptional invasion of privacy.

Because children are not the government's property either, and society is not being asked for their opinion, so their will is not relevant.

Pretending "society" holds that responsibility just means abdicating it entirely.

I know there can be issues with thermal saturation on a heatsink design-- it was expected not just to generate N watts of heat, but to only do so for M hours. Can you expect to leave a real 64 on for days or weeks and it will stay up? I wonder if stores that had them as demo units when it was a relevant product, for example, power-cycled them regularly.

I know from experience if you block the bottom intake vents on a VIC 20, so it can't convect properly, it will eventually start acting funky.

On a related note, I understand the 64's original power bricks are considered timebombs, they might also not appreciate being left on for weeks at a time.

> On one hand, people should have the ability to do what they want with properties they own.

I agree with this in principle. On the other hand - from a philosophical point of view - I can't justify private ownership of natural resources. This is 'wealth' provided by nature without any input from individuals (think land, minerals, water, the radio spectrum, etc).

I think that the concept of exclusive rights is important for how our society functions, but this can be accomplished without ownership. Exclusive rights could be negotiated by an individual or group with society in general (think of how access to the radio spectrum often works, or even land value taxes). Part of that negotiation could include the 'natural owners' (wider society) placing conditions on agreeing to grant exclusive rights.

Ok, let’s go.

0. You bring up some points I fully agree with. Since we’re talking about Apple who can’t do anything mundane, for the hinge let’s just assume they come up with a new tech (maybe a single pivot point and the keyboard spins freely, or a mechanism that detaches it entirely so it can be snapped in flush on the back, or some other solution I can’t imagine yet)

1. Agreed

2. I can’t imagine this would actually stop them if they decided to cannibalize the iPad and build an MX 360

3. Agreed

> At very few points did people had a say in how this turned out.

This is an incorrect take from this though. Those parking minimums coud be changed tomorrow. They could have been changed any time these last 60 years. It doesn't take a federal constitutional amendment. It doesn't take 60 votes in the US senate. Those parking minimums and car centric developments continue to be policy because people continue choosing it. Local elections don't take that many votes to swing! Lots of positions run unopposed every year! They didn't change because the people there didn't care to change it.

Acting like zoning laws are something people can't change and that people don't want is to ignore reality. Zoning laws exist because people choose to have them!

I'm all for cities removing parking minimums. They're often really bad policy. I agree with a lot of things pushed by NotJustBikes and StrongTowns and what not. But acting like nobody wants these policies just isn't reality. Go see the town halls full of people complaing against density, complaining against bike lanes, complaining against transit, complaining against traffic soothing and then tell me nobody wants zoning laws.
In the sense that it's easier to decompile sure, but plenty of non-OSS java libraries run an obfuscator on their internals and in that case it's only marginally less opaque than machine code
Lithium extraction is also very bad for the environment. Requires insane amounts of water, requires often times destroying forests or other natural areas that are on top of lithium, etc.

Sure I use lithium ion batteries too, in the developed country I live in, I can't go and live in a cave. But I won't buy a SUV that weighs 2 tons to sit alone in it most of the time and have it parked 95% of the time in a garage.

The "what have you done" attack is a bit too easy and, really, this is not about me.

We should strive to be sober, to buy repairable goods whenever possible, to educate ourselves on environmental impact of things, and perhaps more importantly to teach this to our children.
So you’re saying that all the parent should each contribute a little bit of money and share responsibility for actually teaching. Heck, maybe they could even, oh, I dunno, eventually hire someone to do that teaching!
That's straight out of Black Mirror ("Fifteen million merits").
This is a shitty take. Guess how much harm a single derailed train can cause to the New York subway? Guess how much harm a single plane crashed on a runway causes?

Every form of mass transit suffers from single outsized impacts of failures.

When the Korean airline airplane crashed into the end of the SFO runway it disrupted 10s of thousands flying into the Bay Area.
It will be anyway. No matter whether you take VC or not.
This is great, but I think a detail about the Commodore 64 wrong. While the VIC-II is indeed bank switched and can only see a window of 16k, the character ROM is only mapped into 2 of 4 possible banks.

The whole thing is confusing since the CPU and VIC-II both have bank switching that operate independently. By default, the VIC sees the character ROM and the CPU doesn't. You can map the character ROM into CPU memory, and it always shows up at $D000. But the VIC-II has it's own banking configuration, which has 4 settings. The 16k VIC-II address space can see exactly one of the 4 16k blocks of RAM: CPU addresses $0000-$3FFF, $4000-$7FFF, $8000-$BFFF, or $C000-$FFFF. In config 0, the character ROM is hardwired to $1000 in the VIC address space only. Same with config 2. But if you use 1 or 3, the VIC-II sees only RAM.

This is burned into my memory, since a common trick was to set up the system as follows:

1. Set up screen RAM at $C000
2. Load a custom character set (usually tiles for game graphics) to $C800-$D7FF
3. Configure the VIC to bank 3 ($C000)
4. Set the offset registers on the VIC for screen RAM and the charset (now in RAM)
5. Use the RAM under the IO space and Kernal ROMS ($D800-$FFFF) for sprites

That config even worked with BASIC which only used RAM below $A000.

If you switch to bitmap mode and don't use sprites, you have the whole 16k from $C000-$FFFF free for bitmaps and you just need to set the VIC offset register to flip pages.
I agree! My PhD thesis is on this topic [1]. We’ve also done a very limited pilot test on a patient with ALS, with above random chance. Actual results may vary heavily on individual disease progression—the more motor recruitment that’s intact, the better.

> Second, I don’t think it’s related to the carrier or cellular provider

Well you thought wrong. iPhone is very much a closed system with a lot of back end secret sauce to make the whole experience "just work". Carriers that officially support the iPhone get API access from Apple but Apple ultimately controls the devices.

Things like SIM lock etc. are handled through Apple's servers. The carrier simply makes a request to Apple to unlock the phone.

This is also how they enforce MDM for corporate phones. Reset a phone? First thing it does during the mandatory "activation" is check the serial number against any MDM policies to push onto the phone.

SF has a hair on fire need for this sort of solution because practically no apartments come with parking spots, there’s nowhere to park even if you had a car, car break-ins are ubiquitous and public transportation is horrific unless you happen to live along a few convenient lines.

You don’t need Cruise in the suburbs, everybody has a car and parking is convenient.
I have heard of rules like this. I do think this is quite interesting because laws like this mean that de jure there is no zoning laws in houston but de facto you cannot do major developments without essentially abiding by some zoning laws that are not necessarily codified in the code. It does leave a lot more room open for interpretation than you would have in your typical city though.
