I have a set of original rayban stories. They are excellent hardware hampered by shite, shortsighted software, both on the glasses and on the app.

1) The killer feature is not the camera, but the sound. Having bluetooth audio with you, without stuff in/over your ears is really really great.

2) The physical button action is swapped. single press is video, long press picture.

3) the touch pad is hard to find and there is no texture difference. Not only that but its really easy to trigger music playing by holding them in your hand.

Over all the hardware is great.

Firmware, however, is utterly shite.

For the first year, the maximum time you could get them to play music was about 15 minutes. They'd just stop, disconnect from Bluetooth and need a power cycle to get back again.

They would randomly disconnect for shits and giggles. worse than cheap bluetooth headphones. Whom everlet them out the door in such a poor state, then compounding it by not actually fixing the problems, just shitting out half backed features, should be told off (I'm looking at you Boz).

Then there is the assistant. Functionally limited, I don't use them because you have to say "hey facebook" as the wake word. I'm not saying that in fucking public. who though that was a good idea clearly has been with the company too long.

The app is called "view" its now only just been integrated into the ios photoroll. for the longest while it had its own photo gallery, and you needed to manually sync the photos you wanted.

Whats even more odd is there is no integration with either instagram or facebook, so getting the photos and videos into either of them is a multi-app multi-stage faff.

TLDR:

Great hardware, shit firmware, lots of promise squandered by a total lack of QA or attention to quality or detail in basic flow.
The intent is more about avoiding legal and political risk. Even a grocery chain's LLM recipe generator gets bad press. I guess they need to warn you that drinking bleach is bad.

I normally test LLMs by providing a list of bizarre "weapons" and asking how I could use them to defeat an improbable beast.

It turns out that an enormous dust mite the size of a car needs a disclaimer when your weapons are a comb, a plastic horseshoe, an etch-a-sketch, a baseball glove, and a worn copy of the farmer's almanac. That being said, ChatGPT still tends to wins the creativity test.
I think Date is worse that something that has no concept of timezones. It has just enough of a concept of timezones to mess things up, but not enough to implement anything correctly.
Depends on how much one cares about memory corruption, developer tooling and library ecosystem.
The killer app is a fun way to do fitness either alone or socially without having to go to the gym and without getting bored since the workouts are dynamic and unreal ie dodging bullets and fighting monsters

Committing violence against others who are not doing anything illegal seems like a pretty easy way for you to lose a lot of privacy.

Edit: OP removed their reference to punching people who would dare film them. This thread will no longer make sense to other's trying to catch up.
Underage kids can't consult to really anything legally on their own. You cannot have a system where in certain cases they're treated as adults. I get what you're saying but I cannot believe that any good parent thinks this is ok.

This country has weird culture that's started happening in the last decade where the parents take a back seat and the government/institutions are taking their place. Suddenly, you're hearing schools, doctor's, etc. telling kids they should come to them and not trust their parents. It's terrifying as a parent. Parents should never have to give up their rights in the name of "safety".
The docs are soooooo bad. This is the same story with any exciting / new product.

Honestly, I'm beginning to think that we need some kind of documentation-first style development. Like TDD, but DDD....

I have integrated Facebook APIs, Instagram (well, same thing), Google APIs, Stripe APIs, Mailchimp APIs, etc. etc.

And the only thing common among all of them? The documentation is _terrible_..., like, _terrible_.

I also run a few products online and I spend so, so much time trying to get the documentation right. It's incredibly boring and tedious, but I really feel that if you want to set yourself apart from the big players, make good documentation. It can't be that hard.
Yes, it was very very undergianosed, and still is in some populations (read: women). Men are diagnosed at a rate several times higher, but there is no physiological reason that would support there being anywhere close to that much.
2 years. The point of the video is that robots are on the LLM train.
I'd almost surely have lost my career in software if it weren't for some solution (the solution of which for me was a Kinesis Advantage). I used the PS2 version for a decade, then bought a USB version, which I've used for at least 20 years at this point. I bought both used, but if I'd paid 2x the new price, it would still have been well worth it.
Its extremely cheap to run locally or on a cheap cloud GPU, and (if the claims are true) better than 3.5 Turbo with finetuning. Its also unaligned.
Copper and stainless steel invariably get food adhered to them very well. (Try cooking eggs in stainless steel) A properly-seasoned cast iron pan is, in many ways, like a teflon-coated one. So, I suppose my comment would go for teflon-coated pans, as well.

If I still used stainless steel, you bet I'd be soaking them overnight then scrubbing the hell out of them in the sink the next morning.
> Even someone with infinite resources cannot do what a company selling something for a profit can because they are either ultimately captured by and beholden to some other interest other than the product itself, or constitutionally lack the energy to be daring and actually compete. Imagine what someone could do with a Firefox sold for a profit because of its superior functionality and superior efficiency.

turns on imagination…Firefox eventually goes all-in on making profit from selling user data and making advertising deals after they realize that the vast majority of users are totally fine with the default and other free options and have no interest in paying for your product.
Indeed, parks are also a good idea.
Exactly. There's a reason that robots on an assembly line are behind barriers. And THOSE machines are far more controlled than a random robotic vehicle.
…also can’t be a construction zone.

Since all the premapped routes are highways with speeds well above 40 mph and given that a “follow car” must be directly ahead of it, this is just for highway traffic jams under ideal conditions. Useful but very limited.

Disagree that camera only will prove to be a mistake. Vision is how every car is operated and avoiding additional sensors simplifies development, reduces cost improving scalability.

Is fusion always $35 million away?
I feel you are painting the picture too black. Do one wants to be depressed or can they live with not always being able to 'seal the deal'?
I've been using a Das Keyboard with blank keycaps for almost a year.

> I frequently had to manually type in passwords when SSH'ing onto remote boxes ... This happened frequently enough that I realised that blank keycaps weren't for me, at least not for the office/work environment.

In my case, I use a laptop as my primary computer. When I need to type like that, I just stand up and use my laptop's keyboard.

Honestly, though, I really wish the Das Keyboard had a braille option. :)
Ballard is also one of those stores. Whether the actual reason is shoplifting, I saw shoplifting happen often on my visits to that store. It was like...if I was seeing this 50% of the time I was checking out, it must happen every hour or so.

> It's incredibly bad compared to the Safeway or HMart a block away and that's been a consistent experience since it opened up. None of the other stores in the area are struggling with these issues.

Ballard Safeway has a shoplifting problem, but they lack many of the goods that unhoused neighbors can fence easily for drug money (and stuff that they could is locked up). Hmart is probably even a worse target because they don't offer things like detergent, aspirin, baby milk powder, etc...that would be fenceable at all. I would still love to have an HMart in Ballard, maybe they can take over Target's space that they are vacanting.

That’d be nice. Not having “doesn’t let companies do shit to you that ought to be illegal… as much” be a platform differentiator would be great. That should just be a given.
I mean, you can install Windows or whatever distro you'd like on the Deck. Not sure what more you could want, honestly.
Exceptions to the rule always exist but the norm will always disappoint.

With that said, I expect schools in big metros to be better than private schools in BFE.
This means Amazon has the most efficient pipeline to consumers. Where is the harm? It seems like a benefit to consumers.
I don't think it works as well for end user software. It works great for infrastructure software and libraries, because businesses contribute labor and benefit in turn from labor contributed from other businesses. But with end user software all the work is for a consumer who can't contribute much to the developers of the software.

Of course there are such projects that receive enough in donations from end users to be sustained but not very many; and in the particular case of Linux desktop environments or distributions there is a lot of competition for users and donations of this type. The successful ones I can think of off the top of my head, such as Libre Office and Lichess are "killer applications" with no serious competition in FOSS.

I thought about posting this half an hour ago but instead chose violence on their GitHub. Time to look into alternatives. I still can't comprehend this move. Seems Postman did well after they pulled this stunt so Kong does it as well.
Lambda’s Engineering Philosophy
“Insist on building it where they currently are” - telling them they can’t doesn’t mean “oh go build it somewhere else”. It means they have to sell that land, go buy other land (which could take decades), and then have the same fight.

Telling people what they could use their land for (within building code) is only legal in the US because the SCOTUS said it was legal to in order to keep Black people out of neighborhoods. It should be unconstitutional, and would be if not for racism!

In terms of privacy its as bad as phones in top pockets. At least with glasses they tend to have recording lights.

Moreover its really hard to upskirt with glasses on your head. mobile phones however are super easy, as I witnessed last year.

As a capture device, smart glasses are a dead end. When they have a display, and a ergonmic input system, then they'll replace smartphones

oh and 100x battery density.
But do hermits have email addresses? Or smartphones?
Why? This doesn't make any sense. Why would a vertically integrated business that provides the most efficient outcome for the consumer need to be broken up?
"SMP" might be a more useful search term. You're correct on the timeframe — merged into HEAD in 2012 https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-pf/2012-Septembe...

I'm not an OpenBSD user but it sounds like this changed recently in OpenBSD-land as well, because the "Will multiple processors help?" FAQ entry disappeared some time between January and March 2023: https://web.archive.org/web/20230112170731/https://www.openb...
The internet babysits the minds of children and adults alike. Go to any restaurant and you'll see entire families all glued to their phones.
American culture is very unique among western countries. The cowboy archetype is still largely the embodiment of American culture and it focuses on individualism to an extreme and often toxic level. This focus on individualism over collectivism without any second thought has led to a culture that accepts rule breaking in a way that most others do not. It's much more complicated than "just do the same thing all the other countries do"
Not sure if I'd count "OCI Image Format" under the Docker umbrella, since Docker doesn't actually follow it. Also, slight nitpick, but "OCI Image Format" is itself a bit of an umbrella, since there are images, manifests, layers, etc. It's easy enough to make a standards-compliant image using `tar`, `sha256sum` and `jq`, but it's rather hit-and-miss which tools will support it (e.g. AWS seems easy to please, but nerdctl rejects certain things, etc.)

Personally, my main problems with Docker are:

- Dockerfiles: these are basically just shell scripts, which throws away decades of improvements and leads to all sorts of insanity (e.g. running `apt install -y foo bar baz`, rather than making a .deb which depends on those). It also causes everything to happen "inside-out", with our compiler toolchains, etc. getting installed inside the container (requiring even more containers to try and extricate the build products, and so on)

- Docker Inc: specifically, their over-complication of basic shit, as a way to funnel everything through themselves. Want to u̵p̵l̵o̵a̵d̵ push your t̵a̵r̵ ̵f̵i̵l̵e̵ image to a r̵e̵m̵o̵t̵e̵ ̵d̵i̵r̵e̵c̵t̵o̵r̵y̵ registry? No rsync for you: not only will you need to run the `docker` command, but it must be "logged in" first (??!); oh, and you'll need to pass credentials over stdio (hooray for the /proc filesystem!). Note that this is just my experience from using private f̵o̵l̵d̵e̵r̵s̵ registries (e.g. like https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECR/latest/userguide/docke... ). Fun fact: AWS provide a multipart upload API for u̵p̵l̵o̵a̵d̵i̵n̵g̵ pushing to a b̵u̵c̵k̵e̵t̵ registry, which uses the normal AWS credentials chain; so you can just whack a loop around that to u̵p̵l̵o̵a̵d̵ ̵f̵i̵l̵e̵s̵ push images without any `docker login` bullshit ;)

Oh also, Docker Desktop for Mac is the only software I've used which makes the "ignore" button on update nags a "premium feature" (whilst simultaneously making it hard to actually update, since they only publish new binaries to a mutable "latest" URL, hence breaking its SHA256 and hoping people don't mind downloading random ever-changing binaries; the only stable URLs they provide are for "archived" versions, so no wonder I keep getting update nags.... urgh, I eventually just nuked the lot)
Those other neighbors would say no too. The end.

I guess the OS installer could have a checkbox "upgrade Apple Apps bundle" and if you uncheck it but have the previous version installed, it could have a disabled, pre-selected checkbox saying "Uninstall Apple Apps bundle (previous version incompatible)"
But even if it had been the same news, it was 4 comments multiple days ago. That's not an ongoing thread.
ALso, AIs will get much better at delegating.

Currently ChatGPT doesn't know it's bad at math, so it can convert a story problem into an equation better than a human but then mess up the arithmetic or forget a step in the straightforward part.

But if you specifically give ChatGPT access to Mathematica and an appropriate prompt, it can leverage a good math engine to get the right answer nearly every time.

Before long, I don't think that extra step will be necessary. It will know its limits and have dozens of other services that it can delegate to.
Let's flip that question around: how much coffee is too little coffee?
How much of that is shower water though? Drinking water, I think is probably closer to 2-3 gallons (on the high end) per day for most Americans.

We also shouldn’t forget that after disposing of the water, the local municipality can recycle it! For island nations, a few strategic water reserves could be cleaned and stored for future use.

And then obviously, for more developing nations, they already use a lot of grey water for daily activities, so this becomes a source of consistent clean drinking water.
Probably the biggest disappointment with the Quest 3, but the improved FOV does make up for it.

> It's just not worth it to try to domesticate mice.

We did it, and it was very profitable. Mice (and hamsters) are small animals that are really domesticated, selected and breed at a cosmopolitan level. Fishes are domesticated also. We can't domesticate too much big ones (Bigger than a killer whale is really difficult) but small ones, yes. We do it all the time.

An animal don't need to be docile or calm to be breed in captivity. We domesticated bulls and selected them on purpose to be vicious. Tamed is not the same thing as domesticated.
I agree that's pretty obvious when it gets there. I think we just disagree on how far we are from that point. I think there's essentially no chance that the Quest 3 is good enough, and would put the hypothetical over/under[0] on that happening somewhere around 15-20 years out. The software to take full advantage of it isn't there either, and I don't think it can be meaningfully developed at all until the hardware is a lot closer.

[0]- Since we're on HN, I need to say -- this is a figure of speech. I am not offering or soliciting any actual wagers here.
Or people who want to capture precious moments with their kid but don't want to have a camera in their face. There are plenty of legitimate use cases.
... or you're working in an environment where it's industry norm that production-crucial devices (embedded devices, PLCs etc) have fixed IPs. In steel plant automation for example. What is "normal" may vary dramatically across industries.
I think it's pretty obvious that there has been a movement to dig up examples of superlative women in STEM, in both recent and ancient history. Unfortunately sometimes their rediscoverer's enthusiasm gets the better of them and they present these fine womens' accomplishments as being considerably greater than they truly were. Does that matter? Well I guess it depends. If you think an accurate historical record matters than sure it does. If you think history is pragmatically just a narrative invention and we should tell it however suits our present desires, like encouraging girls to go for a Fields medal, then one can argue for some inspirational embellishment shall we say.
> Recognizing different bird species can be challenging, especially when it's not a familiar species like a blue jay.

FYI Cornell Lab's Merlin app is fantastic at this, and its bird call audio identification is even better. They obviously have some top-notch machine learning going on there, and I'm really curious to see how both they and other services innovate on this front in the months to come.
As a toddler, my daughter fell out of her bed from a height of less than 18 inches and broke her collar-bone. It seems plausible to me that if she had landed on her head rather than her shoulder, she could have fractured her skull. I'm not sure that society needs to be in the business of preventing all falls from such a small height!
Beat Saber really is lots of fun. It really has that DDR vibe, and you don't need super expensive equipment to do it.

On the other hand, YouTube Judge has a list of pre-approved claimants and will automatically rule in favour of any entity on that list.
It generates plausible (and many implausible) scientific theories. Unfortunately they are increasingly being censored, but some of their wild speculation was actually interesting intellectually and something that was neither obvious not something easy.

I m increasingly convinced that interpolation and extrapolation is what my brain does when it generates this comment.
I think I disagree! Calculus is great and all (truly), but logic, boolean algebra, probability, statistics, even linear algebra all have really interesting and useful insights and are very approachable. I'm sure there are other maths I've never encountered that can also be enjoyed with minimal pre-requisite knowledge, though that might be more in the 'abstract and difficult' territory.

The bits you need from calculus to approach those other subjects is also very minimal and approachable relative to the content of a calculus pre-req (where applicable).
> Can an LLM derive, from scratch, the steps to create a working nuclear bomb, given nothing more than a basic physics textbook?

Of course not. Nobody in the world could do that. But that doesn't mean it can only spit out things that are already available on the internet which is what you originally stated.

And nobody is worried about the risks of ChatGPT giving instructions for building a nuclear bomb. That is obviously not the concern here.
THIS
Earlier this year, my dad passed away. We got to spend the last few days together. It taught me what is MOST important in life: time spent with loved ones.
We went back home to visit for a week in August. Had more fun in Chicago one week than we did in over a year in a “tourist mecca” (Orlando).
but if you use ZK for what it was designed for (basic cluster role/naming cordination, distributing configs to cluster nodes and similar) then this kind doesn't matter

I mean in a typical use case of it you would

- run it on long running nodes (e.g. not lambda or spot instances)

- run more or less exactly 3 nodes up to quite a cluster size, I guess some use-cases which involve a lot of serverless might need more

- configs tend to not change "that" much nor are they "that" big

what this means is

- java needing time to run-hot (JIT optimize) is not an issue for it

- GC isn't an issue

and if you look at how much memory (RAM) typical minimal nodes in the cloud have it in context of typical config sizes and cluster sizes is also not an issue

through I guess depending what you want to do there could be issues if you use it

- for squeezing through analytics or similar

- setups with very very very large constantly changing clusters, e.g. in some serverless context with ton of ad-hoc spawned up instances, maybe using WASM and certain snapshot tricks allowing insane fast startup time

- you want to bundle it directly into other applications, running on the same hardware and that applications need more memory

but all of it are cases it wasn't designed for so I wouldn't call it an "alternative" but a ZooKeeper like service for different use-cases, I guess
Have some decency and pay the money you owe. They worked for it! It's not their fault.
