You could try the Quest 3 that comes out this week. Passthrough is much better and while the resolution does not mean a virtual 4k monitor, it's enough to work in.

Might want to experiment with that and virtual desktop in passthrough mode.
Ahhh yep! I had to deal with that while looking for another job a few months ago. I had it in mind that remote work meant I could work anywhere. Not here! You really are locked into Québec once Revenu Québec is handling your taxes, got dropped for being a Qc resident multiple times.

I’ve thought about Europe as well, I’ll need to reevaluate in a few years to see if that’s still a positive move for me. The French expats I work with they have their own complaints and reasons for crossing the Atlantic.
> And you can always keep your old firmware or downgrade to it later - there was no crippling of units.

From what I remember from when this was happening, new 4K Pocket units started shipping that could not be downgraded a few months after the change. Many people were upset because the product pages or boxes still advertised CinemaDNG, but the cameras were incapable of it.
I, too, have had the experience that cannabis 'removes repression'. In my case, it caused me to consider a pretty-good plan to try to improve my life that I was previously unwilling to entertain because of shame or embarrassment or painful memories.

I'm still intending to avoid cannabis though.
> To use an analogy, Let's say I am on the Amazon river (fastest river according to google). You want to detect which way I was swimming. Would you even be able to detect the marginal effects of me swimming upstream relative to the massively more impactful force from the river?

Definitely yes! If you're even a reasonably competent swimmer you should be able to outswim the Amazon and make headway upstream at most points.

I'm not sure what this says about your analogy, but I would think the measurement devices are millions of times more sensitive than needed to detect which way you were swimming.
The most crucial difference (in my opinion) between sample-and-hold displays and a CRT is the motion resolution. Motion just looks so much better on a CRT. Lately this has been remedied with features like black frame insertion, high refresh rates and technologies like ULMB 2. Also, using HDR on capable displays we can replicate the glow of the phosphor with much greater accuracy. I can't wait to get my hands on the RetroTink 4K and play around with BFI and HDR along with the filters after the perfect upscale to 2160p.

The killer app might be replacing your desktop. It’s just not good enough at it (same way early smartphones could browse the web, but were not good at it)

In a way, looks like Apple is gambling on that direction.
how are you so sure that anyone else besides you is actually conscious ? you might be the only conscious being in the universe. the whole universe is yours. you've already traveled the entire thing.

I'm conscious too but that's in my own universe, running in parallel to yours.

the "once consciousness has been digitized" step would have many hurdles of similar complexity to meet before simplistic 21st century manipulation techniques would ever apply.
AFAIU Ardour itself is still using GTK 2, which has no Wayland support. You can search around on the Ardour discourse, occasionally somebody asks about the porting effort to a newer GUI toolkit, but IIRC the Ardour devs think it's too much work for little gain.
That's the point. It makes the green alternatives relatively cheaper.

Or if not. The tax helps pay for the negative externalities.
Apple M1/M2 Unified Memory in Nvidia and AMD Units?
It's interesting that you touch on the 3D TV, because real (180 degree, 3D, 3600P) 3D video in VR is really stunning compared to flat-screen.

This is where i think Apple can get a real foot into the door eventually, because the experience would be such a large leap from flatscreen.
I agree that that's probably the most "mass adoption" use case for these things, rather than just gaming or content consumption.

I would love to be able to have essentially a pair of "triple monitor setup goggles" that I can throw into a backpack, but right now the cost and battery life isn't there quite yet. But I have hope!
It doesn't need to be contact lens sized. There's a sizeable market for AR glasses, as long as their form factor is indistinguishable from regular glasses

I remember having a great time playing Rise of the Triad[1], both single player and against my buddy. I was quite good at the time, and often won against my buddy.

Some years ago I fired it up again, and set it to the 320x200 pixels I used to play with, with pixel doubling to get it to about the size of my then ~13" monitor (can't recall except my later 15" was a decent upgrade).

And I couldn't play at all. Anything beyond about 2 feet was just a mess of random pixels. Felt like I had a severe case of myopia.

Yet I also vividly recalled how teenage me would fire rockets at those two pixels over there, killing my buddy...

Rarely, touch-ups were done when necessary to molds in production (usually to fix damage caused by operator error, but sometimes to add new flash channels or fix other issues). AFAIK, iteration is usually kept to the prototype stage with aluminum molds and production molds are generally considered 'done'.

I wonder how possible it is to permanently damage the brain without physically impacting it or rooting around in there. There are studies that show visible changes in the amygdala and other structures in the brain after 8 weeks of 15 minutes per day of mindfullness meditation for instance. One "side effect" of it for me has been noticeable memory improvements. The brain changes in response to stimuli for sure, but the changes may be reversible.
I don't think anyone really expected antimatter to produce antigravity, but it had never been tested before so it was worth doing the experiment.

For a long time I’ve subscribed to a bunch of streaming services and used Popcorn Time as a front end for watching torrents out of convenience. I have a friend who until a few years ago would torrent at the same time as buying the DVD on Amazon. He had a library of shrink wrapped DVDs.

Piracy is just more convenient. Streaming was beating that in the early days, now it no longer is again. They ruined it.

I can only hope that music doesn’t go the same way as video has. Right now for most listeners, any of the major streaming services have anything they’d want. Imagine needing two or more music libraries.

I think solipsism dies when epistemic humility comes into the picture.
The "by feel" part is critical. Lots of ports on various devices are deliberately in the back of the device, or otherwise hidden, so that the wiring can be kept neatly out of the way.
I got a refurbished J4105 8GB RAM thin client for 40€, 2 m.2 SSD slots (though one required an adapter, and only that one is NVMe, so lets add another $15 for the adapter), passively cooled.

The case doesn’t look as nice, but still over 100€ difference for a slightly faster, slightly newer CPU. And while not officially, it does support 16 GB RAM if I ever decide to upgrade. It does not have GBe ports, so that is probably the biggest reason to go with this board instead, besides wanting the sleek case.

edit: It’s the Futro S740
I do think that the default convention of SHOUT_CASE for constants in Rust is too in-your-face given that there's nothing about Rust constants that would particularly require them to stand out. I might have gone with CamelCase given that some things in Rust already straddle the "types are CamelCase, terms are snake_case" delineation (enum variants, even data-less ones, are CamelCase, as well as the implicitly defined constant `Foo` for any unit struct `Foo`).
Just to confirm, only Mid and above, and no entry level roles at the moment?

I can understand BackMagic's position from the perspective that often a licensing agreement prohibits incorporation into any form of a free product - after all, there's no royalty when a product is free.

We can thank Microsoft for this clause in modern licensing agreements, because that little "it's a free product, you get no royalties! haha!" is what Microsoft did to the original 3rd party developer of Internet Explorer, when Microsoft introduced the concept of free web browsers, and then free enterprise class corporate software in a competitive move against their competitors.

Sounds like a variation of the typical urgent vs. important matrix.
I mourn that the sectoral conflict has resulted in yet more violence. People can live pluralistically -- it's been proven many times over to work well and in the best interest of all people involved.

That said, it's pretty far removed from a conversation on antimatter.
netstat seems to be disappearing from some linux distros - pretty sure it's not on my current Ubuntu by default, so I have to use 'ss' instead (which does seem to be quicker).

90W is peak power consumption for these. They idle at about 8-9W measured at the wall socket or $22-25/year.
Have you tried clicking it? It takes you to a 2nd page where you select the OS.

Then for me (Windows) to yet a 3rd page where I can chose the paid/free version.

Clicking here on "Demo Version" takes you to the 4th page where you can finally download the setup binary. Which is an installer, the opposite of "Ready-To-Run"!!!

The basic advice I got to avoid RSI (from an ortho) was dynamic movement. Move. Change position a lot. Sit back, forward, turn, get up, yell at the neighbors, etc. Any movement is the point, as it activates your tendons and joints. Seems to work.
Maybe just be less prudent about nudity in general. And deny kids access to AI image generation. Problem solved.
This comment seems to imply that AI generation is "over" or something. We're just seeing the beginning of a huge shift in how art is created, though. These models are only getting better.
You're making a very interesting distinction between the experimental result, which is that antimatter follows the same space-time curve as normal matter, and the dashed hope of warp drives, which is that antimatter causes the same space-time curve as normal matter.

However, if antimatter were to create a negative curvature but follow positive curvature, then you would be able to put a lump of normal matter next to a lump of antimatter, connect the two together, and the whole mechanism would spontaneously accelerate forever, breaking the laws of conservation of energy and momentum. For that reason, I think this experiment also gives us high confidence that antimatter causes exactly the same space-time curvature as normal matter, even though we haven't gathered enough antimatter to see it creating a normal space-time curvature. In essence, gravity is symmetrical.
Content would be incredibly hard to produce for it though.
Earthquake Cluster Off Japan Coast, October 2023
Earlier today, ChatGPT/DALL·E 3 refused to draw the bat sign (from batman) for me, due to content policy. When I asked it to rephrase the prompt to circumvent any copyright issues, it came up with "an emblem featuring a nocturnal flying creature silhouette", which made me chuckle quite a bit.

Playing the game where you have to convince the LLM to spit out the secret password[0] was great training for this content policy dance with DALL·E. Isn't it great - even though the machine is now performing the handicraft, you can still feel creative. Not by creating art yourself, but by finding new workarounds around the man-made content policy limitations.

They might. Cities can, in most states, cross county borders. Both counties and cities can have their own taxes.

I've seen cases where a neighborhood was split. Two near-identical houses, but one had less than half the property tax of the one next to it.
Tangential nitpick: huh, a sentence or two per paragraph. This is like reading a Twitter thread, but hey long Twitter threads always grinds my gears, so putting everything in 1 article is a lot better. But geez, it's like an article from BuzzFeed (the part that wasn't award-winning) or written by a 5th grader.
I find Bayes' theorem is a bit more intuitive when written out not for probabilities but for the odds ratios, i.e. the ratio of the probabilities of something being true and something being false. Quite often one of these two will be close to zero, meaning the odds ratio will be close to (the inverse of) the probability anyway. So, letting H be the hypothesis and E the evidence, Bayes' theorem looks like

o(H|E) = o(H) P(E|H)/P(E|¬H)

Or in words, you update the odds ratio simply by multiplying it with the ratio of likelihoods of observing the evidence. Because odds ratios range through all positive numbers, you obviate the annoying normalization step you need with probabilities, which need to remain between 0 and 1.

Applied to the example in the article, a test with with a false positive ratio of 1% can only ever boost the odds ratio of your believe by a factor of 100 (and in the case of the article it's even only 98:1), so if a disease has a prevalence of about 2:10000, such a test can only bring it to about 2:100.
Ask HN: Why Google really wants me to buy a Pixel Pro 8?
I own an iPhone 12 which Google happily accepts for trade-in value of $480. Apple, however, finds it worth only $250.

Google Pixel Pro 8 costs $999 vs Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max at $1199.

Google also gives away either a Pixel Watch 2 (worth $349) or Pixel Buds Pro (worth $199).

So purchasing the latest flagship from Google costs almost _half_ it costs to buy Apple's latest iPhone.
I haven't worked there for 5+ years now.
In other words, Google's advertising customers lack any real insight into the rates they are being charged for "personalized advertising".

They have no choice but to take Google's word for it. It is effectively a "black box" and only Google is allowed to look inside.
I did something like this at my last offsite.

I also split the task into two sections, i think we traditionally use impact and cost/difficulty.

Then we stack ranked ideas using a horizontal wall. Once for impact. Once for difficulty. Then after the fact I correlated the outcome into a matrix.

It’s like the difference between having humans estimate volume (hard and error prone) versus estimating length (much more likely to be accurate).

The exercise was less painful to implement and the results seemed more accurate.
The scan of duplicate negative was done in 2K (2048x1556).

We had considered doing the scan in 6K, but the tests proved it unnecessary as it didn't yield any more detail except more grain from the film emulsion.
> Perhaps it’s legal in your jurisdiction to sell a product advertising a specific feature and then remove that feature post-fact (in hardware people already own!), but it’s certainly not a great look.

This is the downside to patents and patent infringement. It happened with Google home speakers and Sonos, where I used to be able to tell google to play a song "whole home" and now I cannot do that any longer. I think this might be a bit of a new normal, and I'm sure this is allowed by the license agreement to ensure that patent infringements are not death sentences.
Early smartphones weren't good enough at browsing the web, and also the web wasn't good enough at being browsable on early smart phones.

That's why I included a 60W cost too. What's the point running hardware 24/7/365 is it's idle?
This makes sense to me if the problem I'm solving simply devolves to code and I want as short a path as possible to completing it. I really don't see that much anymore, other than basic bug fixes.

Not every problem I'm solving is just a hunt for the code implementation. I like to reason about solutions beyond the syntax. I use pen and paper a lot, including for code, and I'll use shorthand to represent longer-form code blocks. I find that approach better because I can hide the noise that code blocks can introduce in an IDE. I want code to support my solution -- not a solution to fit into code. IDEs and frameworks can have that affect on people, in my experience.

As with this comment and the one preceding it, your mileage may vary.

* BRLTTY for Braille displays/Braille terminals

* Fenrir for a userland CLI screen reader

* Orca for GUI screen reader
and you'll want to start Orca before you start other apps so it can do some magic with accessibility export variables and ATSPI stuff. I don't understand it and I still do the ritual of putting export linux-a11y = 1 in .profile just in case. That's not the exact variable but the list is out there somewhere.

* cups-filters for printing to Braille embossers/printers. I think just about every major distro has the embosser drivers now. Linux can even use imagemagick to convert images into Braille graphics. Meanwhile Windows doesn't even come with embosser drivers, let alone printing graphics to them. If only GUI Linux accessibility were better. It's already got a really good base. Braille support for just about any display you have and all. Not very good TTS engines though. Anyway sorry for making this longer than just list of stuff.
Yes. Maybe I took it too far. I was implying that the fewer choices you give to the user the better scalability you will be able to achieve.

I don't use any dynamically allocated memory in my firmware projects.

I do sometimes use statically allocated pools for things like packet buffers and allocate chunks out of them, but their lifetimes are not scope based, so automatic call of constructors/destructors would not be of any help.
>Also dying with this measurement is another sci-fi hope: artificial gravity that works without rotation or acceleration. If antimatter truly anti-gravitated, then simply by building a spacecraft’s floor out of normal matter and its ceiling out of antimatter, we could create a spacecraft that had its own built-in, automatic system for artificial gravity.

I've never heard this idea, but that sounds hilariously dangerous.
