"Without individual lifetimes, you don’t need to write destructors, nor do your programs need to walk data structures at run time to take them apart."

Destructors are a very bad idea if you are using any form of garbage collection other than reference counting. The destructors won't run until some arbitrary time after the last access to the object, and in the case of arenas, what would be a very fast deallocation becomes proportional to the number of objects. Further, if destructors can revive objects, everything gets very complicated.
I feel like's it's inevitable that these types of devices will eventually become useful enough and stylish enough to start catching on. Companies have to start somewhere.

Google Glasses were a neat toy, but pretty far ahead of the tech's capabilities. One could make a similar argument for these new glasses as well, since they have no AR component.
From my understanding many of the best players immediately look down to tell what "generation streetview car" they're using, and seem to know what continents/times they're from.
Yeah. Norway. Famously the only country in Scandinavia.

Seriously, do you think anybody will fall for cherry-picking like that, or was this more to convince yourself?

What's the Linux story around Quest these days? I want to buy a VR headset but Linux compat is a must. Any recommendations?

> quite close

The difference in PPD is pretty significant when it comes to both actual mixed reality use around other people (assuming people can get over the dork factor in general) and anything at all related to virtual screens (whether productivity or just 'personal theater' usage).
The most violent attack on American soil since the civil war was when strike breakers with a private air (yes, really) force bombed strikers in the Battle of Blair mountain:

https://www.history.com/news/americas-largest-labor-uprising...

Sympathy for these strikers who were the subject of violent attacks by the 1% was key to the rise of Union sympathy in the United Statesm This subsequently the new deal and eventually the rise of the middle class (something that is now being steadily destroyed).

That kind of violence against peaceful strikers will probably happen again.

When greed and profit meets a desire for a fair wage and standing up for one's rights, ordinary workers eventually die at the hands of strikebreakers - just as the workers at Blair mountain did.
YMMV, but here's what happened with my pull requests.

12 - accepted, sometimes additional changes were required

1 - ignored; this was a trivial change and I wouldn't have submitted it now.

1 - rejected; the maintainer didn't understand my proposed fix and closed the pull request.

1 - rejected; the maintainer disagreed with the proposed change.
> The KV feature in the Deno runtime can be used without the hosting service.

But one writes to foundation, and the other writes to a sqlite file. You wouldn’t be able to self host an app written for Deno Deploy and have it work out of the box.

Are there any plans to open source the KV backend so that people could host their own KV databases? Now that you can connect to remote Kv databases, I suppose someone could implement their own?
Yes, this has happened to me a few times (in other codebases, not the kernel). If I were in the author's shoes I'd be upset about it (and rightfully so), but I wouldn't post publicly about it like this because no good will come from it.
It’s comments like this that completely prove my point. The idea that psychiatry is “religious” is absurd.

Ask HN: Do high refresh rate monitors make it hard to go back?
I’m considering getting a high refresh rate (up to 165Hz) 27in screen as a primary monitor to take center-stage away from my 75Hz one, which would become the secondary screen for gaming and streaming, and primary screen for graphic design.

A concern is whether I’d become ‘spoiled’ by playing games at higher refresh rates and thereafter perceive 60fps in games as ‘slow’, thus ’creating’ more of my own graphics performance issues.

Any thoughts on this?
That's too broad a statement.

But yes, if you're starting from scratch, that virtually begs to do something at the language level.

A quick look at the repo suggests this is coded in C++? Too bad - a missed opportunity imho.

Otherwise a very cool project!
Similar story here. Me and my partner befriended another couple through grad school in our early 20s and the next few years were just the best — we would go to bars, movies, horse races, parties, shows — everything together. And we had so much fun. When I look back on that time it almost feels like I'm remembering a movie.

Then covid happened, they had to move. Most of my other friends moved away as well. I switched jobs and the new job is 100% remote. My life is hell right now in terms of human interactions and I don't really know how to fix it. I feel like in order to establish new relationships I'd have to spend a lot of time with other people doing something together. But between my job and my family I feel like I just don't have time for that.
> It’s pretty obvious that virtual TV/Computer screens at arbitrary sizes/distances in arbitrary environments will simply be a better UX than physical monitors.

Is it? I don’t feel like it’s better right now (I know some people do, but I’m not convinced they’re the majority). Fixing the issues with VR is not trivial. There’s some deep flaws in the optics that we simply don’t know how to solve yet, and the weight needs to go down by a lot. I’m not sure I’d ever be comfortable wearing them more than a couple of hours when they’re entirely closed… but that’s a hard requirement for a good experience. There’s a bunch of hard contradictions in making good VR/AR.

Remember that as VR technology improves, so will monitors.
Could you give us an example of what that means in practical terms?

The post says that 1000 neurons will give you 130 LLM responses - but of what length?

(LLMs are generally priced by input and output tokens. The longer the tokens the longer the compute time. Without an idea of what you mean by a response it's hard to understand.)

Likewise: 1,250 embeddings – How big is the text size in the example?

I'm VERY excited to see you doing this and understand it's early stages, but I wan't wrap my head around the pricing without context.
Sorry, you think in a case where the doctor suspects abuse, they should have to ask the kid while the potential abuser stands there next to her?
So You Think You Can Scale?
A new reason to program in Erlang/Elixir... The thrill of transgressing against societal norms!

Explaining the joke: The basic list data type is a singly linked-list, for reasons of memory-efficiency when spawning lots of different processes that refer to subsequences of the list. So if you want to append, you need to reverse, prepend, and reverse again.
Their own product page mentions "zooming in/out, adjusting screen brightness, brush size, volume, selecting video clips or photos, or backlight hue". Someone here mentioned adjusting parameters in audio software. I can add that it can also serve as a replacement for the mouse wheel in some cases. Another cool use is controlling the knobs in the MCP panels (i.e. the autopilot controls) of aircraft in flight simulators, if you don't already have better hardware.

But really, in general, anything that would require pressing the same key a variable number of times in a row might benefit from a knob control, especially if it makes sense to do the same thing in some "opposite" direction. And especially if you do that multiple times per day. So it kind of depends on how you use your computer.
This is the fundamental limitation of the current built-in API, and the reason that Temporal is necessary: a Date object has no concept of timezones, and there is no way to inject that into it. It can kind of comprehend that UTC exists, and you can pass dates into the relevant Intl API and get dates formatted in the right timezone, but doing maths on different timezones is nearly impossible to do correctly.

This is the biggest flaw with date-fns - it's great if you're only working with naive timestamps where timezones aren't an issue, but there's fundamentally no way to get things to work correctly when timezones do show up.
> Apple is forcing every shady company to disclose their tracking practices in the AppStore page of their app.

I mean, who gives a shit about awareness if they knowingly allow and even put resources towards enabling the tracking practices? The real boon would be forcing apps to not track. The fact that apple has gotten into selling ads and has not offered any functionality to the user controlling the internet access of particular apps should clue you in to the fact that you're getting fucked.

IMO, any alternative to the App Store can only strengthen apple's ecosystem. It would help if we had anti-trust legislation from this century but it's gonna take a lot more pain to get there.
Sounds like you might not have all that much life to uproot.
If the IP addresses usually have the same prefix (or two-three prefixes) you could program that prefix to a simple key combination on many mechanical keyboards.

I don't hate them. I just wish it were almost any other giant company that was making them. If someone showed up at my house wearing them, I think I'd make them take their glasses off before they came inside, in much the same way (and for the same reasons) that some people don't allow shoes in the house. I don't want someone tracking Facebook into my living room.

Maybe the only worse maker would be Twitter. If a friend came over wearing Musk glasses, I'd probably rip them off their head and stamp on them for their own good. I definitely would not allow them into my house.
What usually happens is that someone sends a patch with a text description of the problem, but no test case. So what I do in those cases is just quickly look at the patch and create a test case first, on the current stable version, to reproduce the bug. This is both so that a test case exists, but also so that I have a deeper understanding of the problem.

When that is done, often the fix is simple, and the author's patch sometimes just ... isn't that great, often for entirely understandable reasons, so it's easier to just fix it myself "from scratch".

So whose patch is it then? In some cases the patch was useful and I'm "inspired" by it, in other cases I'm not. I tend to err on the side of caution, but I've definitely merged my share of patches where the Author field was, IMHO, kind of a lie.

As for code review: it's really time-consuming. And while a few "minor bug fixers" of today become "hard-core contributors" or tomorrow, realistically, most people show up to fix one bug and are never seen again. That's perfectly fine! But it does mean that "teaching" everyone who shows up quickly become an enormous time sink. There's a bit of a trade-off to be made here.
> because they’re too ignorant to even know Romanians are not Roma

I don't think the term Roma has a bad association, because in my experience nobody but the most woke even know it. That is the PC term. People I've encountered just use gypsy or their local equivalent.
> racist, virulently anti-immigrant and outright violent against non-union workers.

pretty much describing a lot of corporations, only they can be violent against all workers with union organizers getting it the worst.
One thing is clear - most developers are really bad at structuring their patches.

I think it makes sense. We spend a lot of time trying to make the code work, and then we're faced with having to spend just as much time submitting the code in a digestible format - most people will get lazy.
To avoid ambiguity. What does this married person I see here in the is really looking for?
Having some experience in this field, I can say that all of the tools presented on the webpage are very lightweight static analyzers. They are all based on processing the syntax tree and they which will detect things like uninitialized variables, or do style checks.

"Real" static analyzers, which are more useful, are based on symbolic execution and abstract interpretation and they will uncover more interesting classes of errors, like double frees, out of bounds array access, etc.

Note that all analyzers will have FPs and FNs, because the underlying problem is uncomputable.

The best open source "real" static analyzer overall for C++ is the Clang static analyzer. There are many commercial analyzers available, and most C++ shops will use one or more of these.
Well, that shows how much of an over supply of labor there is.

I'm sure this presenter understands the nuance, but I think it's worth mentioning that linked lists are important for many highly efficient data structures and algorithms. For instance, see

How can you believe that it will be enough to regulate them? Here is the problem: "a few corporations whom you hopefully can regulate." When they have the power of an AGI with high intelligence and access to all available information on their side, there is no scenario where you would control them. They would control you.

Hi!
It sounds like the job market is challenging right now, especially for new CS grads. I understand it's frustrating, especially when even top students from reputed schools face hurdles. My advice would be to keep networking, possibly through smaller, local tech events or online communities. Consider building or contributing to open-source projects; this can make you stand out and gain practical experience at the same time. It might also be a good time to upskill or learn something new. Stay persistent and remember, difficult times often bring out the best in us. Bonne chance!

"Virtual Relationships"
Then I'd be impressed, frankly. I've got the original Quest, and features you'd expect to be broken or missing (eg. hand tracking, multitasking, game streaming, web browsing, sideloading, et. al) all work fine.

It's honestly quite sad that the core line of rhetoric here is a laconic "what if" statement around theoretical apps. The Quest exists and has sold tens of millions of units; the Vision Pro has yet to prove itself. Unless you have a specific example, this can only be interpreted as wishcasting.

Is that pretty obvious? Better in what contexts?

I've seen someone here say that they really liked working with a virtual display from wherever, but the resolution of their whole display was 1080p. As someone who regularly uses dual 4k external monitors plus my laptop, I didn't understand how they could be productive. E.g. I may want to keep a browser with docs and a jupyter notebook of a particular investigation on my left, and an IDE of my repo on my right, plus chat with the colleague I'm working with below on my laptop, and all showing a lot of text or perhaps detailed graphs. If 8k monitors cross my affordability threshold before XR headsets with 4k (per eye) cross my affordability threshold, I would likely switch to more physical-screen pixels than to cut down to just 4k pixels strapped to my face.

IANAL but I think it depends on the break up. If you resigned from the company then that means you don't have any legal control of the funds. If you are still a valid officer of the company than paying debts you owe shouldn't be an issue.

Not paying the offshore devs could also theoretically lead to a lawsuit. A lawsuit for not being paid is an easier lawsuit to win than suing a business partner for paying valid expenses the company had accrued.

But you should definitely talk to a lawyer.
I prefer a separate numpad. Always have. I like it with the loud clicky switches because I can hear a double tap mistake. You can also then move the main keyboard over and use one hand on the arrows and really blaze through a spreadsheet.

10/10 would recommend a separate numpad. Also good for macros in games or Photoshop or whatever.
Surely, however in practice determining who exactly arrived at an intersection first isn't that easy (maybe it will be for the robo cars).
Huh? Then how do they deliver ads?
When Valve releases a stand-alone headset that can play regular PC VR games that will be what changes the VR market. Until then it'll be just, "more of the same." Minor improvements/evolution, etc.

Biggest thing the industry could do in order to move VR/AR forwards would be to adopt SteamOS or a similar "normal" Linux OS and give end users root. That would really be a kick in the ass towards real innovation more than, "slightly better tracking; slightly lighter; now with color pass through!"
I'm glad I'm not the only one who had that jump out to them. I don't think I've ever had any OS specific functionality with a keyboard. Looking at the USB HID scan code list I can't even think what I'd want out of a keyboard that isn't already covered.
Sometimes I marvel at what would be possible if just a sliver of open source talent was put to work building independent quality software for their own or an investor's profit. Marketing a product forces you to figure out what it is people actually need and deliver the knowledge and education people need to use a product well. In fact a lot of what is wrong with software from big tech companies is that individual programs are not written to make the program itself great, and the incentives generally do not encourage spending a lot of time making some part of Chrome or Safari more efficient.

Open source will never spend time marketing anything, never spend time educating an actual mass of general users as to its virtues or how to use it well, and suffer as a result. You don't have Desktop Linux that blows everything else out of the water because that would require investors to stake a lot of money doing these things, which they will only do if there is profit. PopOS gets as close as you might with something like that, but is ultimately shackled by the fact they cannot sell their software. (Enterprise is different, where I guess you can nerf the product to make money on servicing instead).

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.
>So what’s the killer app?

There isn't one and there never will be because people like different things.

Why do people like you constantly say "what's the killer app" ever time something new VR comes out? I've been doing VR since oculus dk1 and VR has been crazy enjoyable from time to time. VR is cheap as hell now. Quest2 was $300 for quite some time even before the Quest3.

If you can't find enjoyment with virtual reality from a $300 stand alone device that's a you problem.
