Ask HN: Is Humane Vaporware?
This company has built their entire brand of some of their employees having worked at Apple and they copy their marketing playbook. Hundreds of millions in funding and all they've done is teased a device with a fake demo during a TEDx talk.

They had a release date for October IIRC but that has been replaced with "later this year".

Whats the view from those in the industry - is this company ever releasing a device? What's the fallout for founders if they don't?
It's not an official Apple piece or anything.
Streaming is fantastic. It means there is an indirect reference between the display of the game, and the running of the game. It means you can play max quality games on a $200 chromebook. The game can be running in the same rack as the server. Visual/input lag is a different type of lag than game client/server lag, I'm not sure which one will win the long haul.

As fiber is being installed into more residences, streaming becomes an even better prospect. I would much rather be vendor locked into steam than into the xbox, play station, or ios stores. Steam still has execs that think about more than next quarters profits, they aren't trying to bleed their cash cow dry like most other companies seem to be doing. From a monetary point of view $10 a month with no contract is more appealing than $500 or even $3000 every several years. It definitely seems like there are many economies of scale wins to be had via centralization.

Apple also failed to create a marketplace culture. IOS gaming is synonymous with "pay to win". Good games just aren't put on those devices with the exception, maybe, of riot's games and pc ports. I would be worried about Apple's "lets make money off kids gambling" culture, that is absolutely pervasive in mobile gaming, becoming more pervasive due to cross pollination. Apple is generally a benevolent dictator, but when it comes to mobile games they are a slum lord.
Same with voice to text translation. It's absolutely, utterly, worthless. I end up having to go and edit half the message. Apple can't even get basic things right
You should remember that the US military is a two-tier system: there are the officers who rarely see real battle, and the rank and file who effectively die. In the case of war, if the rich ever serve they will be officers, they will only command other less fortunate to battle.
Fungi make up one of three primary kingdoms of multicellular life. Mushrooms and other fungus have a variety of flavors already, and some of them are quite meat-like. Given fungus cells are more similar to animal than they are plant, it is possible that they can be selectively bred or engineered to taste more meat-like.

I wouldn't be too dismissive of the potential here.
My biggest multilingual gripe on iOS is that highlighting text in, say, Czech and pressing Translate on the popup just tells you to fuck off.

There is no such product. The comment you’re replying to said it correctly.
Out of curiosity, are you a Christian who observes Lent? Many of my Christian friends do not consider fish to be “meat” as that is not allowed during Lent, but fish is allowed, therefore fish != meat.
The diffraction grate (not gate, it is gating but it's a grate) has a number of possible diffraction modes dependent on the angular range of the DMD (an array of tiny mirrors that flip back and forth between two positions). In this case, there are 7 possible diffraction modes, and the sequence depth (the term for the number of frames) is 7 in reflection of this.

I'd argue corporate PR speak directly and purposefully interferes with conveying any kind of message clearly. It often skirts the line between misleading and lying. And obviously you don't want to poison your own well with lies.

I'm perfectly happy with the terminology, setup, and analysis. I studied physics in my bachelor's, complex systems in my master's, and have been ingesting philosophy at a leisurely rate all the while and have been working with concepts like this long enough that I can see this paper fits comfortably into the existing body of work.

I don't know what your background is but I think it's a reasonable framework for studying the connections between micro- and macro-scale dynamics. I'm not speaking to the usefulness of the approach, but it's certainly a valid contribution to the science. I'm sure the vast majority of researchers at SFI would agree (I'm not affiliated with SFI).

If it helps, one of the papers[1] that cited this one has a bit more of a concrete application of this line of thinking. You will also note that TFA is published by NIH and [1] by APS. I'm sorry you feel it's a crackpot paper but I'd call it hubris to dismiss something you clearly have little familiarity with out of hand.

The root of the problem is exactly that America never wanted to treat blue collar workers in a decent way. That's why they sent all manufacturing jobs overseas: it was getting very expensive to pay for these unionized workers. The goal of destroying unions of blue collar workers was the main reason for deindustrialization.
Hmm interesting! Maybe I can try measuring my blood pressure during these times of tiredness.
> Kotlin as a platform is not mature enough to deserve the same qualification.
With
(1) a lot of Java backend projects migrating to Kotlin (let's be negative and assume 20%); (2) all of Android running Kotlin, which is around 80% of the world's mobile phones; (3) the world's best IDE authors building features and improving Kotlin; (4) the language being almost 13 years old at this point; and (5) Kotlin being 100% compatible with Java in both directions,
I wonder what additional maturity would you be looking for. Can you point to a specific problem?

I mean, of course, Java has been here since forever and we've made careers out of programming for JVM. I'm wondering if you are referring to a specific maturity issue, or just want to highlight that Java was here for longer... if it's the latter, I don't think it can be a valid argument against Kotlin or in favor of Java.

>Streaming is fantastic.

Streaming is awful.

It perpetuates the idea that you pay for a thing but don't own it. It creates more incentives for ongoing monetization (to support the streaming infra) like in-game ads and loot boxes with paid keys. It introduces horrendous input lag that fluctuates based on network conditions and it means there's yet another probably buggy layer of abstraction between the game and the player. (edit: and you can't play on LAN!)

Unless you're playing Yahtzee, streaming delivers a suboptimal gaming experience.

I worked with C# professionally.

The async/await syntax works with the language's other statements, but for a long time it had gotchas. It doesn't qualify as "structured concurrency", and it has the aforementioned issues — it's (accidentally) error-prone, it splits the ecosystem in two, and has no interruption model.

I am not familiar with Swift, but I think you can hardly beat Kotlin's implementation. This is a good introduction from Kotlin's lead:

My brother 12 years ago could have been you, as I read your comment. A double lung transplant and myriad complications later, and he passed on from this world.

Reading your experience makes me so happy that people with CF are finally seeing a light of hope in their experiences. You do all the walks, donate the money, remind people this disease exists and it’s so destructive but it always kind of felt like science wasn’t throwing a lot of energy into CF, so I’m so glad to see this development. I’m so happy for you. I wish my brother could have had that chance, but I imagine, given his incredibly generous nature, he’d be just as happy for all the CF survivors today who now have a fighting chance.
Word (or multi-word) prediction is a great starting place for an autocorrect model. If the keyboard I'm using knows the probability of all the possible next tokens I could type, then you can start making the tap targets for those keys bigger. And since the model is super cheap to run, you can replay the last n keyboard taps to simulate a different correction being made. That's at least how I'd make autocorrect better if I worked on the keyboard team.

Anecdotally, I've heard autocorrect is much better on iOS 17. But I won't update until the general release next week.
> Java's reliance on traditional OO means that only a small subset of business domains naturally map to the language's constructs.

In my career I worked on a really wide range of business domains and have not even noticed the problems you are talking about.

The problem of mapping certain types like unsigned int that you mentioned is rather rare integration scenario. There’s not that many domains where numbers with the most significant bit are important, but MAX+1 size numbers are not.
April 2023 is in calendar year 2023, so that pretty clearly implies you can keep updating until Jan 1 2024 (unless they change their version numbering scheme).

Rust does not use reflection for this. Reflection support in rust isn’t actually much better than in C++.
zero interest rate phenomenon
that being said, there are ways this could be beneficial both ways instead of one way.

I’d also argue that it’s perfectly fine for the US and any other nation to think in terms of putting their domestic economy first, regardless of anything else
The other point that’s often forgotten is that labor costs have risen, and shipping has gotten cheaper. This is just how economics plays out. Protectionism can be great for national security and employment, but people would have to stop expecting things to be cheap.
The question of who owns a product's externalities is not absurd at all, but pretty complicated, and unfortunately rarely responsibly accounted for.
Java has in recent times actually removed some apis from the standard library, and made some inaccessible (undocumented internal apis especially) so any advanced frameworks that use them would have been affected.

> Our boot regulations and contracts severely limit our options to only a few very expensive-and often ineffective-models.

So these are just overpriced boots. My main point is that OP is pushing a narrative about how rich people somehow save money with their expensive purchases, which is complete nonsense. They buy luxury products which are more expensive in the long run.
It is not essential, but without it, it is much more cumbersome. I programmed it with Java so I know it can be done but I would not choose a language without it if I could.

> The biggest feature in Java 21 is the release of Virtual Threads

Is there a good honest writeup on why is this interesting? Very curious.

The earliest JVMs had this, green threads. Performance was terrible so it was eventually dropped.

I want to fully utilize every CPU and every core I have, why do I want green/virtual threads again?
Id rather say use kotlin. It comes with a better type system with explicit nullable types, proper closures, and syntactic sugar to easily enavle beneficial programming patterns.

Nd it is very compatible with Java itself, interop is dead simple
You seem to treat “regulation” as if it is some monolithic and controllable thing where the president could have a dial installed to their desk to turn it up and down.

What do you expect your doc to do with the data? Are you trying to capture very infrequent events or trying to quantify your afib burden?
What do you mean by "it splits the ecosystem in two"? I never observed such split, certain methods intentionally offer sync and async variants.

Interruption is achieved through cancellation tokens and has to be handled by consuming methods. There is no way around it because interrupting execution at an arbitrary point would lead to all kinds of issues regardless of the language (unless it implements some form of transaction abstraction and rollbacks all uncommitted changes).
you want to compare llama2, inflection1, gpt4 et al. to apple's typing assistant model that is designed to run locally and in a tiny scope? large language model literally isn't accurate for something that's two orders of magnitude off what the term usually describes. if anything, give apple points for not hyping up "LLM technology" or whatever to boost their share price like every other tech-adjacent company is rn.

You can get HRV data after a “mindfulness” session, but not in realtime during the session, at least as far as I know. That’s what I meant with not so easily.

I also found that the results don’t match measurements with a HR strap very well, at least for me.
Why is that absurd? Surely the people who own the company are more responsible for the actions of the company than people who don’t own the company. If my local barbershop where I get my hair cut turns out to be a money laundering operation, surely the owners of the barbershop are responsible for that and I am not.

Oracle has definjtely done bad things; mismanagement of java is not one of them. They got a pile of crap and turned it into something competent.
The official US foot has been based on a metric measure for more than a century now though:

The Mendenhall Order marked a decision to change the fundamental standards of length and mass of the United States from the customary standards based on those of England to metric standards.

It was issued on April 5, 1893, by Thomas Corwin Mendenhall, superintendent of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, with the approval of the United States Secretary of the Treasury, John Griffin Carlisle.

At this point every US unit of measure (length, mass, volume, temp, second, etc) is defined in terms of a metric fundemental.

The US public are really just pretending that they don't use metric.

NIST and NASA don't pretend, they're metric to the core and just slap on some funny feet for the common pleb.
They didn't. A proper fix would require getting rid of null altogether in favor of ADTs or something similar. I work with C# daily and nulls can still slip through the cracks, although it's definitely better than @NotNull and friends.

I haven't worked with Kotlin in a while, but IIRC their non-nullable references actually do include runtime checks, so you cannot simply assign null to a non-nullable and have it pass at runtime like you can (easily) do in C#.
What does one do with all this hardware? I'm quite curious.
If you toggle the year to 2021, you'll see that US data on that page ends in 2019. No cherry-picking, I just chose 10 most recent years which had US data easily available.

House prices in the US are high, but not remarkably so. (E.g. Canada's house prices are higher.) I'd argue that expensive US houses have more to do with NIMBYism than the overall health of the US economy.

Focusing on housing in particular is itself a form of cherry-picking a single statistic. The median income data I linked is adjusted for cost of living, which includes housing and other stuff.
> When and where were politicians responsible for the collapse of the "the longer timescale corporate R&D labs"?

I did not say this and am quite mystified how you managed to construe my words to imply that.

The fact that those corporate labs had a longer term focus and then disappeared is simply a fact.

> Academics who? Let's say biologists

Before PCR (1984ish?), biology had such a vanishingly small presence relative to research funding that it almost doesn't count.

Every big company up through about 1970-1980 had very large R&D departments that had been in existence for anywhere between half to a whole century.

Sure: IBM, Bell, and Xerox are remembered strongly. However, Kodak and Polaroid had big chemical engineering departments. RCA and Motorola were household names. Every big name in steel (US Steel, Bethlehem, etc.) all had lots of research in metallurgy. Corning was a huge driving force behind ceramic chemistry. Dupont similarly for plastics.

When those big companies went down, so, too, did their research departments and the funding driving them. This was a problem because companies funded a LOT of the local universities--Pittsburgh universities, for example, were still using equipment even in the 1990s that had been funded decades earlier by the big steel mills.

The collapse of the corporate giants meant that the percentage of academic research funding from government suddenly went way up.

These boosters are useless and could even be dangerous - people have antibodies all the time as COVID-19 has never left, on the contrary, we all have chronic infections now, but new variants, which evade our immune system, will cause issues. New variants will always appear as that's how evolutions works. Eventually, when we run out of luck, a variant will also have a mutation, which will bring hike up mortality rates possibly higher than the wild variant, although it can't be wild per se if it came from a lab.

> Additionally, some projects close issues once the mainline has addressed them even if the fix isn't in a released version.

And that is a general issue with the maintainers not understanding what they're doing, or not understanding how issue trackers work.

If you close an issue that is still present in the current release, then you're doing it wrong - with one exception. If it is in fact functioning as intended and the issue was just a misunderstanding, then explaining that and closing the issue makes sense. (But even then you might want to update the docs or helptext or something to prevent future misunderstanding, if it's confusing enough.)

Closing an issue just because you don't feel like looking at it today just means that someone else will open a new issue tomorrow to report the same thing. And any history, workarounds, steps to replicate, etc. in the old issue will be lost/disconnected. That's not doing anyone a favor.
I've used linux for a decade now and still use it on my desktop. But it's not a strict requirement for me. On my laptop I just need something that has a super good battery life and is performant. And the macbook is so far ahead of the rest that it wins for me.
