> I'm guessing the Navy are going to get a lot of important scientific information about the consequences of extreme duration dives from this journey. If there are issues with something like this then its better fin out what they are so you can mitigate them in the future. In fact it's possible they put these measures in to see if any difference was made.

We tested what seamen would put up with on the USS George Washington and 3 committed suicide in one week. There's no reason to conduct experiments like this...testing in production is the Josef Mengele approach.

Gaming is a huge market.

What portion of that market is VR?

That’s the issue I see. Gaming may be the best thing in VR, but VR hasn’t felt necessary to the average gamer at all. It’s still a small niche.
>Quest 2 grew the VR market by ~10x

Did it really? So far I don't see any uptick in anything VR related in terms of average daily use.

I read somewhere that most people get VR, try it for a week, then get bored of it.

> “I don’t want the message to be we are doing this because the ads team needs more revenue”

That's pure gold. When people start with "I don't want to / I am not ..." and then proceed to say or do exactly that.

- "I don't want to be the asshole here" /proceeds to be an asshole.
- "To be perfectly honest" /starts making stuff up

Jerry is really pushing there and the goal is clear: "Long-term: It feels like through some deliberate efforts we can actually use entry points like Chrome to drive query growth... we should explore this aggressively."

None of this is surprising but it's interesting to have it right from the horses' mouths, so to speak.
so like hedge funds and global finance
I've heard that it is because the AI outputs what it is thinking as it is thinking it. It doesn't really reflect, it sort of does the equivalent of just verbal thought streaming right onto the screen.

So when you ask it to reflect on what it said, that's when it actually looks at it and reflects on it.

Maybe the client is another backend service or serverless function, i.e. one where they'd need to pay for the GPU anyway.
Absolutely. The entirety of Google’s consumer footprint was leveraged to try to make Google Plus a success. And that was just the first example I saw when I joined.

I’ve been imagining the future will be smart glasses paired with mini pocket keyboards, like the bottom half of a blackberry. Or who knows maybe everyone will lean heavily into dictation.

I think there’s also a future where hand tracking gets so good you just type on a full sized floating keyboard. That’s seems to be apples approach with the Vision Pro.
That might be Firefox's Facebook container's fault. I don't like this behavior either, you lose the tab history and the ability to recover it, unfortunately.
Every organization differs, of course, making this difficult to usefully answer.

I have always prefered seeing senior devs as capable of architecting and implementing solutions (better yet delegating parts to juniors) such that they can launch a product themselves, where a mid level dev can launch individual features but would struggle with the complexity of choosing both an auth model and a persistence layer for it (mixing well with other persistence uses) and then what the front end should look like overall, and whether to use websockets or... and a junior can fix bugs, or work on tickets/scaffolded tasks in a productive manner.
Like the college student at open mic night who can't sing but has a gaggle of supportive friends and family who applaud profusely, there's a cult of toxic positivity surrounding him who refuse to be honest, adult supervision.
You obviously have more experience than I do; but two phrases I'd be tempted to try out in these discussions are, "If you were wrong, would you want to know?" And at some point later "How would you know if you were wrong?"
Well, maybe not exactly unmaintainable but I think most of us have learned that floating point operations are not to be trusted, especially if it needs to run on different processors.
Furthermore, calling such math operations is an overkill most of the time. I would definitely never consider it for such a simple operation. I actually agree with you that it might look cleaner and easier to understand, but in my mind it would be such a heavy weight overkill I would never use it.
Bruno maybe? (https://www.usebruno.com/ && https://github.com/usebruno/bruno)
I'm a big fan of stack-based languages conceptually, but they always seem to fall flat when it comes to basic reading comprehension. APL has the same issue, as does J. Factor did improve on this a little bit by eschewing the symbol fetish but it was still very difficult to rapidly scan the code for functionality. I'm not convinced the approach shown here is a good pairing with the human brain.
That's the thing: I am strongly considering keeping it for myself.
But at the same time, I could also sell it to a limited number of people, get paid for it and use the money to finance my own bets. Having few people copying my bets wouldn't impact my own gains.
When I was 17 reviewing college financial aid packages, I was still trusting enough in the social contract that I thought I could only be offered loans that the granter expected I could pay back.

Good comment. We must never forget the egregious violations of civil rights incurred for seemingly no good reason at all. I remember being kicked off the beach in Chicago, when I was just hanging out _alone_. What does that have to do with public health?
Interesting that they exclusively sell to non-NATO countries.

> Operation Zero, which is based in Russia and launched in 2021, also added that “as always, the end user is a non-NATO country.” On its official website, the company says that “our clients are Russian private and government organizations only.”

> When asked why they only sell to non-NATO countries, Operation Zero CEO Sergey Zelenyuk declined to say. “No reasons other than obvious ones,” he said.
They don’t upgrade their interconnects with other residential ISPs which is making it hard for decentralized alternatives to displace the big cloud based vendors.
The Vision Pro wishes it could sell as many units as the Quest did. If the lifetime units sold exceeds the Quest 2's first quarter of shipments, it will be a small miracle.

My favorite part of Hacker News is how people rattle their adtech surveillance pans, but always hide away whenever someone mentions the NSA or PRISM. You guys remember last week when Canada used FIVE-EYES to grab telecom data off an unsuspecting, international citizen using commodity hardware?

Coming soon: the same duopoly of shit, but now on VR. As they say, don't throw stones from glass headsets.
It’s a lot larger than single digits. Those metrics are generated largely from tracking methods that Firefox blocks.
Great point, I wish I'd mentioned it. The expense of the printf dwarfs the log / log (double divided by a double then cast to an int), which itself is greater than some repeated comparisons in a for loop.

It's key to be able to recognize this when thinking about performant code.

In other words, the entire exercise is silliness because the eventual printf is going to blow away any nanoseconds of savings by a smarter/shorter routine.

In AI research ablation experiments are comparative tests, but in one branch some feature is removed. Here the Chrome team is saying that removal of the feature (which the Ads team wanted) was instantly noticed by users.
Yeah, and I might have felt a bit “blind” if it were not for you guys also having the same experience: I did not see that parenthetical at all, probably both on account of the linebreak right before it and the (as you say) huge blockquote.
No, it does not. It's still the same words, in a different medium. If you are unable to write, you'll probably be unable to speak your ideas.
Throw in some references to the Islamic prophet and you'd be way in inappropriate territory then.
> If it lives on a desk, why not splash out the small amount extra to make number entry much easier.

Because it's bad ergonomics, if you're right-handed. It puts the mouse too far to the right.

And I've been using computers for decades but can't recall a single time I ever did numeric "data entry".

That just feels like a relic of when office workers were entering amounts from stacks of printed invoices by hand.
It works for all kinds of errors to varying degrees.

Even "logic" errors can be generated in a go and detected by another instance. Like a "this is what i wanted but you did this" works sometimes too.
> You really think that the savings will actually be passed onto the consumer rather than the company gobbling up that extra value?

Absolutely yes. Compare gas prices in countries with high taxes on gas and countries with low taxes on gas. Compare products that are subject to vice taxes. It is not hypothetical, it's reality.

> Also, if taxes are lowered on businesses, the tax burden will be passed to the working poor/middle class.

All taxes on businesses are passed onto the consumers already. For businesses that sell products and services that everybody uses, that means the taxes are passed on the working poor and middle class. The only way to have taxes explicitly excluding the poor and middle class is to have tariffs on luxury goods, and maybe vice taxes since those products are not essential.

There's no doubt that many company owners would try to use any tax reduction to make more profit for themselves, but that leaves space for competitors to take market share.
Well, it works to every repository the user who is doing the spoofing has access to, private or public. If the user has access to your private repository via the GitHub ACL, they'll be able to create a PR to it with their spoofed profile.

But yes, if you have a private repository only you and dependabot has access to, no user would be able to perform this spoof against your repository.

Ask HN: Why does Facebook allow me to log in with a wrong password?
I don’t know why this is happening, but I can log in to my Facebook account even if I add just one random character either at the beginning or at the end of my password. For instance, I can log in if I type 1MYPASSWORD or MYPASSWORD1, where 1 is the additional random character I added.

This doesn’t happen when the cache and cookies are cleared (I get the classic wrong password error message).

Is this something to worry about? Does this happen to you as well?
Chrome would find revenue instantly the same way Firefox and Safari do (bid out the default search engine).
This sidesteps the importance of a coherent data model that someone can be held responsible for. I find it hard to imagine corporations being okay with GPT being the responsible party when the question of “who owns the database” comes up. Then again, maybe I’m just old…
As an Overwatch player, I am in agreement with you, but don’t think is a fair comparison as Overwatch plays like a MOBA as much as it does an FPS. An FPS like Call of Duty rewards reaction speed much more and also demands much less team play and higher level strategy to succeed.
Yes, exactly. Also, in any subject where there isn't a clear "wrong" answer, you as a student are free to take up any position as long as you can "back it up".

In theory, that sounds like a decent policy. But in practice, it creates an environment where students just learn to write thoughtful-sounding BS and know they don't really need to work hard to engage with the material or even understand it.
I've heard it hypothesized that one of the underlying factors in why Americans romanticize the "college years" so much is that, for most, it's the only time they've ever lived in an environment (the campus) that's not designed primarily for cars.
They're at least 2nd gen and there's no HUD so there's no feedback if or what they're capturing. They're disappointing overall.
You could have a feedback loop, feeding back compilation errors to the model untill it converges to no errors.

Potentially you could do the same for fact-related questions, by fact checking the result against the (properly indexed) training set and feeding the results back.

I wonder if it would work.

You keep mentioning the Unabomber. OP and the original article are talking about the original luddites, a group in the early 1800’s that fought back against poor working conditions (by destroying machinery, etc after discussion got them no where with their employers). The luddites were actually fine with the implementation of machines, and many of them were actually factory machinists themselves, they just wanted better pay and improved and safer working conditions.

Not exactly sure what your point is regarding the unabomber (who is considered a neo-Luddite, not a traditional Luddite). Is it that movements and labels change over time? Because what the unabomber wanted vs what the luddites wanted (almost a full two centuries before the Unabomber), were completely different things.

But even if we’re comparing the Luddite movement within their respective times, you’re taking an extreme example of a mentally ill domestic terrorist and conflating him with the entire Luddite movement, a movement that barely even exists in the 20th/21st century. Luddite is now used pretty casually to describe a technophobe or someone bad with technology. It doesn’t really describe a member of the Luddite movement anymore.

Putting addicts in jail because they're addicts is dumb but standing quietly to the side while a person spends their life addicted to opioids is cruel.

I used to be sympathetic with that Bill Holiday song "Ain't nobody's business if I do." I'm doubtful about that now but I don't think anyone will stand for a half measure when there's a full measure available - and the last full measure is throwing someone in jail to protect them but that's dumb.
That was exactly it. It's not a matter of animosity, but of privacy. I wouldn't want Twitter hardware in my house or on my Wi-Fi, even less than I'd want Facebook gear.

With all those alternatives you need to spend time installing libraries, then for each environment you need to create the db, and setup environment variables. You’ll also probably want to figure out a local environment.

With deno all that setup/configuration is handled by deno. There’s obvious trade offs but I think what deno is doing is pretty cool.

They have to “boil” but not get the water to 100ºC. Water evaporates in the air at any temperature; it’s faster when the water is warm, and the air is warm and dry. Technically, that’s boiling, even if it’s not exactly like how your kettle does it.

Essentially, they find an equilibrium between the cold water coming in, warming in the sun, an increasing amount evaporating into the warm, damp chamber, and the remaining brackish water being cooled by the new water.

Linux certainly offers much better functionality overall but the tooling for this is a poorly documented and inconsistent nightmare.
TFA doesn't claim that early humans didn't eat meat, they claim that they ate everything. The key claim in the article is that the diversity of food is what is lacking in modern diets, rather than absence of any single large nutrient group. I see nothing in TFA's claims that are incompatible with humans hunting animals and digesting meat more than other primates.

Also, I would not take that paper at face value without a lot of other literature around it. Two out of three authors make money writing about the Paleo diet, and they're explicitly proposing a new interpretation of the evidence, it's not a literature review representing any kind of consensus.
Nature does not intend anything, that's a religious proposition.

Get is a verb that means "to retrive" so "get_foobar" should return something.

Why a signed type? A negative number of bytes is nonsense. In fact a whole language designed around assigning semantic meaning to names would be cool. f has to be a function, n has to be an integer >= 0, M has to be a square matrix of some type, has_xyz must be a boolean, and so on.
