> It's a (the?) major reason for llamas popularity.

Absolutely not. There's a corner of the overall community that hovers it and overperceives it as everyone else only uses it too.

Its great if you have an Apple ARM machine and want to see an M2 Pro do 10 tokens/sec (and what could make an Apple ARM have 30 minute battery life).

I also doubt it's a slight, the only callouts are large commercial collaborations, ex. nVidia, AMD, Google are representative of each of the 3 groups we could assign it
Yes absolutely. Or maybe if I’m being more fair, great work to him is decided by the audience and the acclaim his games get. For other creators, they care about whether their creations meet their personal aesthetics for what feels fun for them to play.

And that’s fine, I just personally find games made like that a bit less interesting. I end up playing games like Factorio and Braid a lot more than games like Diablo 4.
This. This are the kind of things that make a difference in science.
Is the data what the database engineers edit and add to their build pipeline in order to build the database software?
It's always nice to run "/bin/true --version".

On my machine it's on version 8.32. But it's a program that run many more commands than just true. It's a good reminder that things are always more complicated than they seem.
These could be pretty incredible if the platform was more open. You get highly available image and voice input, and good voice output.

Imagine if you could take a picture of anything, add a little note, have it filed away. Not necessarily an awesome Instagram picture, but just a picture of some mail you got, a tool you are putting away, any thing you want to record and save. Heck, why not a picture of your computer screen? Pair that with quickly available audio transcriptions and you can also dictate anything, thoughts, small notes, information associated with the images.

That all could be great... if the library of things you made was useful. It's pretty clear how it could be useful now; do some OCR and other detection on images, use a vector store for both that and transcripts, and hook it all up to an LLM assistant. It's a bit complicated, and a bit expensive to run, but at least for a prototype you could make something pretty incredible.

Meta might make something like that... but they aren't doing that yet, and they might never do that. If the platform was open people could explore these things right now. And it doesn't even need to be radically open, you don't need to be able to hack the firmware; but it has to be more open than the preview Ray-Ban glasses, and I'm assuming more open than this revision.

Thanks for sharing it! It's super clear now.
> I hate the idea of having to use a mouse to click on a visual GUI to navigate a file system in order to make use of its functionality.

Ironically, studies have shown that mouse-based interfaces are more efficient for practically all filesystem use-cases compared to CLI interfaces.

Despite objectively faster-time-to-solution, people self-report that they "feel" that the mouse GUIs are slower.

That's because there's fewer actions per second when using a mouse. It's a smooth gliding motion and then a single click, versus many keystrokes in a row with a CLI.

Rapid actions feel faster, even if it takes more wall-clock time to achieve a task.

Keep this in mind next time you sneer at a "bad graphical user interface" for being "slow".

> The thinking seems entirely shallow, there isn't even any consideration for how these 3rd party stores will handle permission bits to protect the user's data.

this is a feature for the companies pushing for it - this is literally the entire point, in fact! facebook wants to be able to use sideloading to push this stuff again:

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/01/facebook-and-google-...

for the consumers pushing for it, I think there's a pretty good mixture of rationales: some of it is good-faith belief that everything should be open (although you can see from the defense around consoles that many people do not fall into this camp). some of it is just ignorance or not thinking it through. and some of it is brand-warriorism/fanboyism, the people who want to legislate a solution to the android/iphone wars, or simply are doing it because they know it's something apple users care about and that burning it down will make them upset.

the usual human mixture of reasons, basically. but for companies? yeah, they fucking know it's gonna undercut the permissioning system, that's the whole fucking point. because right now they have apple standing in the way doing app review. they can't overturn apple, they have to go around them, but apple is the gatekeeper on their platform. or, was.

companies know there's fanboyism they can exploit to their own goals, and is perfectly happy to use these, ahem, "temporary allies". Just like the google "pwease use RCS, it's so open!" page that gets passed around uncritically, completely omitting the fact that google isn't using RCS, it's using a proprietary fork of RCS and it's already blocking third-party interop from interested parties.

You must be the only one not worried about buying hardware from a company that's synonymous with blatant privacy violations.

> but they can't have same-gender straight friends either (because you might be attracted to them!)

This actually can become a major issue with friendships. Obviously you can't act on the attraction and it can become very frustrating very quickly. I know from experience and I wish I didn't.
It sounds to me like the 'condenser' is perhaps wrapped around the water intake.
Am I the only one who doesn't understand the obsession with ramming tech in to existing accessories?

Why must sunglasses also be a camera? Or Alexa?

It's not for lack of knowing the answer. Because you're already taking your sunglasses with you everywhere, anyway. Because there's no way you're carrying around another thing. Because it's the most convenient way of securing a more intimate relationship with customers.

I'm with the others: I thought the future would be more exciting than this.
It's fine. That's how C compilers looked in 1972 too. You can't get out of having to think about things.

Exactly! In whichever market that you can sell dirty bathwater, I think they may have an advantage over my sales of "Smelly Old Nerd dirty bath water".

I'll either find a better channel, price point or give up on my dream of dirty bath water money. Point being the actual value is the packaging and selling of said bathwater.
Why choose the name Copilot when that's already the name for products built by AWS, Microsoft, and GitHub?
It's still a question of benefit and effort.

That watch can do a lot. Like paying etc.

I do agree that I wouldn't have assumed that the watch is used that much but after it got its own esim and can be used instead of a phone, it can replace a device.

And for sports it's actually practical.

Glasses? I still think nope. It's still not a beauty thing

But Nvidia making future GPUs on ever smaller TSMC nodes will be a counter-force, converging those future model-use costs to similar zones to today's. Ultimately the market will bear what it will, and if the costs are outside that zone, those products won't launch.

The sticking point here seems to be the DCO, which the “signed off by” thing attests. With that attestation other people who sign-off to the DCO can carry the patch forward (maximum to a pull request against Linus' tree). Without it though you have a broken chain.

But it ain't much of a sticking point. Most of the time it is just an oversight that can be pointed out and corrected. All it takes is for the maintainer to point it out and ask for it and then then the author to do it. (The patch author themselves need to do it or else there wouldn't be a point to the sign-off; forging a sign-off would defeat the purpose.)
Personally I thought the article was informative and interesting, but I'm still curious; can you share some of these videos you're talking about?
Aligning employees' interests with the long-term interests of the company is really challenging.

A typical counterexample to compensating in proportion to equity performance is compensating in proportion to revenue or profit performance (i.e. something still related to market performance, but with fewer tangential variabilities).

But I don't think that switcheroo would have resulted in a different outcome, here?

I think, perhaps, the underlying issue is the cultural norm of lionizing revenue to the exclusion of all other corporate principles. In this case, it's not really the Sales person's fault. It's Jerry's manager, or Jerry's managers' manager, etc. – for allowing the feature-blind prioritization of revenue to fester.
You can fix bugs.

And it undoubtedly reduces the number of developers needed.

It doesn't replace all human coders yet. But a senior, super skilled engineer can now effectively do the task of a team of 10. This will be true for many teams that I have personally seen.

There will be exceptions, too. Not all teams work like that.

I can confidently say that LLMs will cause a reduction in number of developers required at least in the short term.

Factors that cause an increase in demand might propagate simultaneously in a greater rate and undo this but that is unlikely in my opinion.

In my opinion barriers are:

1. Outward appearance. People don't like wearing glasses if they don't have to.

2. Tech issues: e.g. short battery life, weight, need for charging, UX.

3. Compelling features that make them worthwhile to use. This point is harder to explain, but a device needs to provide features to the wearer as they wear them and not indirect benefits. These features need to be particular to the device's unique position on the face. It needs to solve the question: what can a device on the face do, that one in the hand can't.

4. Recording content must be a secondary feature of such devices. We let smartphones into private places, such as change rooms, because they provide an enormous set of features, and only bad actors would use the recording features in an indecent way. If the main purpose of smart eyewear is to record others, then they'll not only be banned from such locations, but those around the wearer will become unnerved by them. People need privacy and downtime.

I feel meta's smart glasses partly answer point 1, but fail at the rest. They are a lop sided product in their efforts: the main feature is to produce recordings, this means there's no compelling reason to always take them out and their primary purpose is bested by the smartphone they need to be paired with. The smartphone has better cameras, better battery life, the ability to easily review and retake photos, and doesn't need to be worn on the face.

I can't understate how wearable tech needs to deliver features to the user as they're wearing them, and in a way that only that position on the body enables. Meta's product here doesn't really offer anything that they can't get in a better form from other products, products that the market already owns:

Recording content: The phone is infinitely better.

Shortcuts/listening to music: BT headphones/Airpods are simpler, have longer battery, more private and provide all of the same features such as handling calls, volume and playback control.

With al of these obvious shortcomings, the only rationale I can imagine is that Meta are just doing their fast-follow strategy. They couldn't acquire Snap, so they copied Snap's stories and now these are a copy of Snap Spectacles.
HUDs like this are already common on fighter jets, and even some passenger aircraft, precisely so you don't have to look away to check gauges. Are you saying riding a motorcycle requires more concentration than flying an FA/18 Hornet?
I haven't looked in a while, but an update would be nice. When I was looking at it in the last couple years, many things in the networking stack were unchanged since the late 90s/early 2000s, so macos didn't have syn flood protection built in, and while the macos pf had synflood stuff, it only works if the macos host is strictly a firewall, using the syn protection for traffic where macos is an endpoint results in no connectivity.

If they pulled in a more recent pf from either OpenBSD or more current FreeBSD would be welcome. (And you know, a recent tcp stack would be nice too; although they've added in things like MPTCP that they'd need to port forward by 20+ years)
Yeah, queer existence blows all kind of holes in the basic premise behind the logic.

There's a lot that's fundamentally problematic about it, not least of which is the implication that everyone except your spouse should be kept at arm's length, and this is the morally correct thing to do.
I recently had an opportunity to visit Egypt, just around Cairo, for a few days. I have to say it was absolutely worth it for me, especially since I love ancient cultures and historical sites. My absolute favorite experience was crawling through the bent pyramid (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent_Pyramid), and this website is reminding me of that experience.

Enjoy this site, and maybe consider a trip to Egypt, especially when it's not flooded with tourists during the high season.
Sure, but animals can be dangerous to eat too. With improper handling and cooking, you can get a bacterial infection or parasites from animals. Eating animal brains can give you an untreatable and fatal prion diseases. And more insidiously, red meat is high in saturated fat that can lead to arterial disease over time.

So the idea that it’s inherently better and healthier to eat animals because “plants are poison” is not only on its face a bad idea, but it’s also a bad idea upon closer inspection.
As an owner of an HTC Vive and a Quest 2, I find the terrible specs of the Quest to be the biggest reason why it collects dust. The resolution is horrible, the cameras are horrible, and the apps it can run are crap.

Exploring raytraced worlds on my 3090Ti in a high resolution Vive or Valve Index delivers a level of immersive experience that’s impossible to achieve on Quests hardware.

The Quest 3 is still a bit of a potato but one day, quality and convenience will converge into a sweet spot that clicks for more people in a way that only enthusiasts get to experience nowadays. A portable Index would likely have the impact people tend to expect when they imagine futuristic VR.
The rigidness also extends to other factors. For instance, working at a bank we were not allowed to move our monitor to another desk. That was a union job. You had to put in a work order have someone show up eventually and move the monitor for you and get paid some fee. It introduces rigidity and inefficiency and there are constant turf wars.

this is a very US specific problem. i don't believe any other country in the world allows unions to get away with such nonsense.

There's cameras literally everywhere already. If you leave your home, you get recorded. That's just the world we're in now.

The Klutz Book of Knots was one of my favorites as a kid, and cited Ashley throughout. Here's what it had to say about the square knot:

"But Which Knot Is Really The Best Knot?

A true landlubber's question, but one that is inevitably raised. The correct answer should be the responsible—albeit boring—"It depends." Are you knotting together sheets for an open-air exit from a burning hotel? Or are you tying up your hair?

But let's say you've really only got room for two or three knots in your long-term memory files. If such were the case, I could be forced to recommend the bowline, the sheet bend, and the clove hitch. The three of them are the class of the three primary knot categories—loop knots, rope-to-rope knots (bends), and rope-to-something-else knots (hitches). Between them, they should get you into most binds.

Incidentally, the opposite question, "Which is really the worst knot?" is far simpler to answer. As disillusioning as this sounds, it's the square knot, the most over-hyped, under-strength knot in creation. Clifford Ashley, the author of the definitive encylopedia on the subject of knotting, states that the square knot "...has probably been responsible for more deaths and injuries than all other knots combined."

The reason is that the square knot capsizes, i.e. it unties itself. A couple of quick tugs on the rope, or an inadvertant bump, and the honest square knot turns into thin air, an unhappy result that demonstrates the difference between a "strong" knot, one that weakens the rope least, and a "secure" knot, one that resists unraveling."

This was disillusioning when I first read it as an avid Boy Scout. Now I can't think of a more apt symbol for the Scouting program.

You're asking about the ratio of "compiler bugs in code generation impacting behavior" to "bugs in C source code"? Obviously the number depends critically on the denominator... Defect density for DAL A software is well studied and very, very low. See, e.g., [1]. "Most estimates put the number of residual
defects for a good software process at 1 to 10 per KNCSL," of which 1% are of catastrophic severity. These processes give a low enough defect rate that real-world failures are dominated by errors in the requirements process rather than in the process of converting requirements to source code; it's not hard to see that at this point compiler bugs can be non-negligible.

I learned about linked lists in high school (mid-80s) when resources were fairly constrained. I never really liked them compared to arrays, but not for any good reason. However, over the years, I've looked at a lot of codes that use either lists or arrays as a hot datatype and the numbers almost always come out in favor of arrays over lists, for the simple reason that Intel optimized for lazy programmers. The only cases where it wasn't true were extremely highly specific problems with well understood data patterns on extremely resource-poor machines.
Ray Ban Wayfarer's are $171 without the included tech.[1] The included 12mp camera, 5 mic system, network connectivity, battery, microelectronics small enough to be hidden in fashionable eyewear all seem to add up to more than $128 worth of value. It seems to me that these are subsidized by Meta. I'll leave it to the reader to speculate on why Meta would do such a thing.
