Subsidized by Meta for getting them more data?

I would also imagine that Meta is paying them handsomely for the obvious brand risk here - getting Ray-Bans associated with glasshole behaviour.

The Ray-Ban brand is owned by the Italian-French EssilorLuxottica conglomerate. Market cap 74B EUR.

(Meta market cap: 770B USD.)
Dude, I cannot recommend this enough. Typing this response on it. Love it. Just get it. Its $35, if you don't like it you only wasted $35, not like one of those 100-300 keyboards.

Also nah, I'll feel old no matter what :P
The PC Oculus software was much better so there’s definitely more they can do; the Quest software is full of artificial limitations, like having window placement and sizing be unnecessarily limited. They’re also somewhat hostile to sideloading (not blocking it but making it more difficult than it needs to be) which probably hurts niche use cases
Once desalinated, it becomes what is known as tap water. (Except only a few liters per day per unit)

But yes. You’ve hit on the one of the absurdities of the headline: drinking water costs vary wildly based on a large number of factors including the source and treatments.
They are not "stealth smart glasses", they are the first iteration of AR glasses. Recording is one of the many things they do. And I'd buy them in a second if it means I don't need to take my phone out every few minutes (and if I had the money, I expect them to be uber-expensive); or I don't need to look away from the road to check directions as I drive; or I don't need to reveal in-shop that I'm checking online prices for an item. There are a lot of possibilities beyond capturing, if not in this generation in the next one with displays.
I agree with your premise that the criminalization of opiates is the root cause of the opioid crisis today.

> If you or I found ourselves in that situation, we'd probably go through withdrawal.

I wouldn't be so quick to make that assumption if I were you. Most people who become opiate addicts involuntarily would have assumed they would never resort to illegal opiate use.

That's a crucial piece of the puzzle: opiate users aren't a different class of person than you or any of the other users on this site. They're not cut from a different cloth. In all likelihood, most people on this site would respond the same way if put in the same situation. The only difference is that most are lucky enough that they haven't been put in that situation.
HA! I remember when my "Programacion 1" teacher sent us this as part of our curriculum circa 18 years ago or so. Good to know it's still going around.
Ultrasonic humidifiers need to be run with distilled or equivalent purity water, yes. Not just for the lack of salts being aerosolized, but also because anything that may incidentally grow in the water also will be aerosolized. Distilled water helps minimize growth.
One key piece of this that I think it overlooked is how our socio-economy has sold most of us on our difference, we've been very actively individuating and seeking signs of distinction that happen to be items and services we can buy.

All that may make it harder to just "bond with the neighbors", as some in these comments suggest.
The only appealing thing for me with smart eye-wear is a personal display. Doesn't need to be big or rich, enough for notification filtering much like smart watches give me. A camera on these is frankly still kind of in the creepy realm to me, but I do get it and it'll probably be a necessary component for any kind of proper AR.

The Meta AI integration is also a massive turn off to me. To each their own, but I want to keep the smart bits mostly in the smart phone. The assistants so far have been anything but assistive on my devices and usually both get in the way (since for a while everyone was really pushing you to use them, only Google seems to have not gotten that particular message) and are privacy nightmares in their own right.
> and indy developers to have access to the same graphical fidelities as AAA

The bottleneck here isn't performance, it's the cost of producing high quality assets on a AAA scale. Streaming won't solve this.

As for "local hardware constraints", I've yet to see any streaming games that were not possible on local hardware. Personally, I'd rather upgrade my GPU or video game console every 5 years than lose all the very tangible benefits that come with running games on my own hardware (ownership, mods, preservation, etc.)

I will say that I think services like GeForce Now are the best use case for the technology. Since it is essentially a rentable high end gaming PC in the cloud, the user brings their own games. If GeForce now shuts down, you still have the option of downloading all the games you bought for on it to a PC. Nvidia is smart to position this as an additive experience, rather than a replacement like Stadia was.
First off tokenizer.model in their release is absolutely a binary by any definition.

Secondly, is hand editing the pickle file the way Mistral's engineers constructed this pickle file? Why not? The automation that constructed that file (and tokenizer.model) is the source. Binaries in this context can certainly be an ASCII encoded file.

Just because other vendors are worse doesn't make this open source.
>A person randomly shows up to report and attempt fix a bug in an "obscure"(?) architecture

Everyone involved in this story, both the original author, the second person who authored the patch, and the maintainer who reviewed it, are on the mailing list for that obscure architecture. It's obvious that they all care about it. Its "obscurity" in your eyes is irrelevant.

>In this case, from a utilitarian perspective, it doesn't seem obvious the maintainer should spend the extra time coaching.

Cash bail has problems, as you point out, but it seems like “never cash bail” seems like a poor absolute.

No cash bail makes sense for first offenses, but if someone has a second, third, or 10th arrest while still awaiting trial bail should keep going up.

There’s a difference between someone being wrongly arrested for shoplifting and losing their job and custody of kids because they didn’t have $500 and someone being arrested 5 times in a week for the same crime.
So basically there is a huge difference in performance in many tests. It goes either way but more often Ubuntu comes on top.

I guess a positive spin on this would be that for both OSes there is room for even more software improvements on this great hardware from lenovo/AMD?
Really? "All the lonely people..."
They look way better than expected, almost exactly like the regular models. Issue being that the cameras are clearly visible and make the impression that you are either a voyeurist or a secret agent
systems level - so if, for example, I can have two services or serverless functions, one of which can access the world and the other of which cannot see, for example, the pii tables.

(I'm not a production customer, and I haven't thought through how this ought to work in deno-deploy-land, I've just seen a lot of painful ACL set ups. But I also like knowing that lambda function foo written by the intern can't read every DB table)
> Basically your argument is that junior developers shouldn't try to contribute and if they do, they will just be rejected out of hand if they make any mistakes. Okay.

I don't think that's as wrong as it sounds. There are projects and codebases that are more or less "done" (and heading towards obsolescence) and aren't worth it to expend resources for juniors to learn how to work on them.

It's usually much more rewarding to have junior developers try to implement something "new" instead of fixing obscure bugs on a stable codebase. There's much more leeway for mistakes in new features, there is less/no learning curve to grok the intricacies of the existing code, and fewer surprising edge cases that the juniors would inevitably miss because they haven't been stung by it 10 years ago.

As I mentioned, it's up to the projects themselves to decide how much they want to expend extra resources in bringing up potential new contributors. As with most things in software engineering, it's a trade off.

And yes, the OP feeling angry with the way the kernel maintainer handled this issue could be said to be a trade off as well. I think the only thing that's unfair about this discussion is that you and maybe a hundred others are making claims about the kernel maintainer ("isn't leader", "behavior reflecting poorly on the Linux project", "treat people like crap") for allegedly misattributing credit for a less than 20 line patch.

Imagine a minor mistake you made 1.5 years ago making the front page of HN and hundreds of people slinging insults at you. I wonder how that feels. Quoting from you:

> If you treat people like crap, they won't stick around.

You don't iterate on the model weights, you train them on billions of tokens. There was no real iteration, you set it up and wait for the GPUs to do the work. The model architecture itself is done before you start training. If you change it, you generally have to start training from scratch.

You do get the ability to further train the model using fine-tuning or LoRas.
Exactly! It looks and feel like normal JS and hides all the complexity behind it which is the print of great syntax.
I'm seriously considering a QMK kb from them for their ability to hotswap caps in and out. Ideally, I'd like a mechanical kb with silent switches that are nice and quiet.
> Any good argument that anyone can think of for a scenario where smart eyewear will not be as ubiquitous as smart phones eventually?

I see 2 potential scenarios:

1. Some series of safety/privacy mishaps will lead to social/media hysteria which will push politicians towards a ban for such devices.

2. Initial price set too high will cause vicious circle of: low userbase -> lack of interest from developers -> lack of valuable features -> low userbase.

I won't argue that these are very probable scenarios, but quite possible imho.
Ugh that battery life. I am happy with my xreal glasses because it has ton of battery via my phone and then can be charged on the go even more.

Rust doesn't just forward the error, it forwards and converts the error. ? is effectively semantic sugar for:

`match result {
Ok(v) => v,
Err(e) => return e.into()
}`

This means that the code related to error handling is all in one place, and your business logic can just focus on the happy path.
I agree. People who want to record their pov generally use a go pro-like device or their phone. Why do we need this?

> Unions are fundamental in every line of work

They are fundamental in that they blunt the threat I face if I fell out of my present line of work and had to take something that would rough up my baby soft laptop jockey hands. If they have a better bargaining position, I have a better bargaining position because it's less of a loss if I have to join their ranks.
Clickhouse is a Yandex project and at Yandex, they historically use C++ for almost everything, I guess it's part of their culture (probably the founders were C++ programmers?) Their web services such as Yandex Taxi's backend (Uber's equivalent) are also written in C++ which is unusual for webdev nowadays.
> people like to be seen recording

I don't think so. Do people at a concert hold their phones out to be seen recording? No, they just want to record and that's the only way to do it. They'd love to be able to do it hands free for sure.

I'm currently procrastinating my task of migrating an entire frontend from MomentJS to date-fns. I hate dates, and I hate this work. I would be overjoyed if we get a standard.

Funnily enough, date-fns-tz is MUCH worse than moment-timezone, so much so that I'm regretting making the decision to migrate. It works by fundamentally altering the Unix timestamp of the underlying date, so that when you format() it, the times appear correct. But try to actually pull a unix seconds out of it and you're screwed.

I should have stuck with the larger bundle size. Aside from Moment being mutable and non-tree-shakeable, the api is better in every way if you care about fixed, non-local timezones.
It seems highly likely that you and your co authors are the some of the most expert people on the planet about this subject.
From what I remember an apnea/hypopnia index of up to 5 is considered normal, 5-15 is mild, 15-30 is medium, and 30+ is severe. That's what I learned when I had severe sleep apnea, but it spontaneously resolved years ago so perhaps definitions have shifted. I'd be pretty shocked if 50 were "mild" now, though.

I had an AHI of ~90 at diagnosis, and I couldn't figure out why I was so damn tired all the time. My sleep was very badly disrupted, but since an apnea doesn't typically bring you all the way awake it can be hard to notice.
That's important for CLIs. As the server-side deployment ecosystem has moved towards bundling and isolating dependencies at the OS level (ironically driven by Go projects Docker and Kubernetes) it's mattered less for backend applications. You can just SCP a Go binary around, just like you could always SCP JARs around, but a shop trendy enough to be using Go is unlikely to be doing that.
My parents had a similar experience in their idyllic exurb, where affluent retirees can afford lengthy home renovation projects. A neighbor's multi-car garage had noticeable traffic to and fro, on a country road in a small town where everybody seems to know each other's vehicles. It turns out the contractor was dealing heroin from the garage. I think the scheme worked for as long as it did because, like your case, nobody suspected anything like that in such a location.
Better error handling in the final result.

I feel like the "killer app problem" is not unique to the Quest, but the whole VR ecosystem.

This reminds me of a documentary I saw about Italian immigrant familes in the 1930's? coming to the US and living in tenements in Newark NJ and NYC. The younger generations grew up, went to college, and moved all over the country. When interviewed, they all said the same things: "We didn't know we were poor at the time," "we miss having the whole family together," "there was always someone around to watch the kids," etc.
This does not sound like knowledgable feedback. You should consider investigating and fixing the problem next time. At least to the point where you can explain to others what failed. A problem that continually affected you thru many clusters sounds like a configuration issue. PEBKAC, etc.

I previously worked for a company that ran highly-reliable systems that put human lives at risk. We increased the reliability of deployments and rollbacks quite a lot by moving to K8s, and that was years ago, when K8s was much newer than it is today. A very good friend still works there and they have zero plans or desires to move off K8s, as it works fantastically for them. They maintain 5 nines uptime and are responsible for daily hospital operations.

Also - plenty of human lives rely on “websites”. Your car probably speaks HTTP. I don't understand this line of thinking at all.

They trained it from scratch, but there is nothing stopping you from doing some more training on top of it yourself. Nothing is obfuscated, no more information is required beyond the prompting syntax... they just released basically no documentation, which is unfortunately kinda standard in AI land.

Never gave it much thought because my kid's genetic lineage has never really been called into question.

We bought a two-unit house together with another couple, with the same idea in mind. They have a kid the same age as our youngest (18 months) and also do not have any family nearby to help with childcare.

It took over a year of planning and searching to find a place that we could all agree on. It was also hard to find a bank to give a loan to 4 adults because it is so unconventional.

In my mind, I call it "our modern village". So far, we have only had a couple of group dinners, because we are all so busy with renovations, jobs and kids etc. Modern adult life. So, those are dinners that would not have happened otherwise. Its also great to share chores like organizing the storage shed, mowing the lawn etc.

I am really pleased with our decision so far, although I am really looking forward to these renovations being done.
FWIW, that "Signed-off" gate isn't as solid a shield as one might want.

If someone put the work in to identify a bug, contributed a fix, and that fix wasn't accepted but another fix inspired by the previous fix was accepted... That could be plagarism.

Burden of proof is on the plaintiff to prove the fix was inspired by the RCA and proposed fix, of course, but this isn't exactly a clean-room work and kernel maintainers should probably be careful about taking ideas without signoff on the lead-in side too. There's a reason Marvel et. al. in the publishing world can't accept new character concepts.
Really amazing stuff to see this launch with Hugginface! Hope to see it expand beyond text too.

“neuron” is a cute name but there’s too much conceptual overlap with floating point ops, layers, model parameters etc which are time independent. Should just call them inference credits or something. When some large model runs on multiple GPUs it’s even more confusing what neurons / dollars per second might be.
Here we have a tool that can materially improve blind people’s lives and instead of making it accessible you want to deny them access until the product reaches a quality bar that is impossible to reach.

That’s wrong and immoral. The world is full of risk. As individuals we choose to accept some risks and move on with our lives. I think it’s appropriate that blind people are given the same opportunity
Pricing is interesting. $299 for the Wayfarer model when the base Wayfarer goes for $171 on the Rayban website. If (and this is a big if) you assume Luxottica takes the same cut on both models, then Meta is selling a camera, headphones, etc, conveniently packaged into a very small form-factor for $128. If I were in the market for a new pair of sunglasses, it isn't hard to seem me splurging another $128 for something that could potentially replace my airpods for taking calls while I'm away from home.

Personally, not a fan of sticking a camera everywhere I look though. I get why companies want to push that feature (more data!) but I just don't see a reason why consumers need a camera pointing at everything they're doing.

Kinda cool nonetheless.
Thank you. Yes, it's a classic, especially on HN!
It means that you are telling pg that you don’t care about order, so it is free to optimize the query in whatever way it wants to. The order can change query to query depending on numerous external factors.

I’m not using pg itself as an example. I’m using a specific implementation of a “job queue” built with pg.

I’ve seen and you can search for and find many implementations of “job queues” using relational databases where job start order guarantees are traded away for throughput.
That's the matter of definition I was talking about.

It's a society with lots of capitalism, so of course you'll have people involved who are also involved in capitalism; you'll buy your computers from capitalist companies, etc. That doesn't seem meaningful.

So what do you mean?

I mean that projects don't need to be capitalist enterprises. For example, they can run on donations or grants, with volunteer labor, etc.

You can play games on lower resolution, lower refresh monitors, so why do people market higher resolution and particularly higher refresh rate monitors succesfully to gamers? Quality if experience, not just binary “can you minimally do it”, matters, and matters particularly to the segment of the market that has lots of disposable income.
