>> Your claim seems to boil down to two things: First, people sometimes make very incorrect predictions, so you've stopped worrying about them.

> Didn't say I stopped worrying about them: global warming worries me. Ubiquitous microplastics worry me. Heavy metals in our food supply & PFAS in our water worries me.

On what basis do you worry about them? Why worry about some more than others? (I know my answers, but I'm interested in how you do it.)

Do you factor in the probability of their occurrence? I'd expect you do, this is sort of inevitable for people, though people aren't typically very well calibrated in probabilities, especially on the upper (near 100%) and lower ends (near 0%).

I'm trying to understand what I perceive as your pushback against moral reasoning that involves probabilities over future scenarios.

Here is my rough overall take at this point: given your ethical foundations (DE or close to it) and life experience (hard to know, often not driven by logic and reason -- such is the human condition) you bristle against consequentialism and longtermism in particular. I get it, but I don't think this is a good place to end up, even when I factor in your core beliefs. I 'chalk it up' to the high cost of mental reorgnization. My hypothesis is this: the 'wedge' examples that people use against consequentialism have had an outsized effect on how you view it. I don't detect any antipathy towards logic or probabilistic reasoning in general, but I also don't perceive a relentless drive towards it.
We already have the laws we want, more or less. It's just that the barriers to creation have been lowered.

If we encumber the tech with regulation, only the giants will be able to engineer the adequate protections that fit the letter of the law. You'll effectively be choosing the winners and creating a massive barrier to entry for everyone else.

Isn't that a solution looking for a problem still?

With smartphones the problem wasn't surfing the web – you're right that mobile devices and the mobile web grew up together. The problem was needing information when not at a desktop computer, or wanting more information quicker than you'd get through a phone call, or just wanting human interaction (even if it was online).

The killer apps for mobile were things like finding your way around (maps, transport times, traffic), social networking (without logging on to a desktop chat room or actually meeting someone), and photos (without carrying around another device).

So far the only "killer app" for VR/AR – something we literally could not do before VR/AR, is immersive gaming. I know non-VR games can be immersive in their own way but VR is clearly a step up. The problem I believe is accessibility – we don't have the physical space, or cheap and good enough devices, or enough content that people find what they like, and that's just one somewhat niche use-case (gaming isn't niche, but gaming aiming for immersiveness is).

Financial anxiety: Media - the primary instigator

It's one thing to feel financially tight. It's another thing to have endless news articles and publications and posts warning of how bad the global economy is and how inflation is running out of control.

Not only does this constant negative message directly cause stress on the viewers, but it can cause fear in business which can lead to "precautionary" retractions... which can exacerbate the actual market problems.

Decision-makers in companies will make harsh short term decisions either to look responsible to shareholders or to cover their asses from upper management, and these decisions can have negative long term consequences to the company, employees (especially those laid off), and the market in general.

How often do we see news of mass layoffs, and a month or two later we see a big hiring round from the same companies? This is grossly inefficient for the companies, and it's obviously very harmful to those let go.

If the media didn't jump on every potential disaster with such fervor, we would all be better off. But promoting fear gets attention, and attention is potential revenue... or votes.

> As I said, just keep asking "why?" or "what does that mean?", then repeat that with the answer. Sooner or later you hit an assumption and a shrug.

I still don't understand your assumption. Do you think that any axiomatic system is a formal axiomatic theory? As I've said before, this term is well-defined, and I don't see how you could "drill down" on natural language to arrive at such a system. There are many axiomatic systems that are not formal axiomatic theories, and Gödels proof doesn't apply to those.

> I wouldn't understand Gödel's proof even if I tried to, I'm sure -- it "rings true" because it matches my own intellectual observations regardless where I turn.

This is why I've been asking about how you'd bridge the gap between Gödels proof and your assumption, because Gödels proof applies strictly to one thing, and you seem to apply it to everything, even if it doesn't meet the requirements of the proof. But I guess you're arguing from a philosophical standpoint, not a logical one.

Lenovo is promising this for customers or channel partners. Apple doesn’t have much of a sales channel, so the promise is similar to current in-store practices at Apple.

Part of the reason this doesn't happen is that the word "Safe" smuggles in some ideas that an average person might object to alongside many unobjectionable ideas. For instance, "Safe" might mean "enforce a certain distribution of characteristics like skin color or apparent gender" or it might mean "don't make child pornography".

Unless the distance of the camera and the subject do not move at all, the focus will be actively changing - yes.

Depending on various conditions (lighting, lens choice, etc) there might be a very large distance range that is in focus - or it might just be a few inches. Even if the focus puller isn’t doing any big focus swings, they are likely making small adjustments.

Never worked for me, I think if you're physically fit, being physically tired has no correlation on sleep. Since 12y/o I've struggled to sleep before 1-2am, and since 14y/o I've exercised a frankly ridiculous amount.

14-18yo I went to the gym 1hr/day every weekday, boxing 1-2hrs 3x/wk, karate 1hr 2x/wk.

18yo+ I've boxed, run 30-40 miles/wk (some 3/4hr runs in there too leading up to ultras), climbed 2-10hrs/wk, and gym 2-3x/wk for the last 5 years although that schedule and activity level has varied since I have no real reason to kill myself training now that I don't compete in anything.

None of the above have an impact on sleep or ability to fall asleep, I have taken weeks off due to injury or months off due to burnout after a 12hr race, and my sleep schedule hasn't changed. Still tired-ish around 5-7, then 7-2am find it impossible to fall asleep, followed by 5-6hrs sleep and repeat.
I 100% agree with the guy who replied to you that got heavily downvoted that "just exercise" is a vastly oversimplified response to the complex issues most people have with sleep. Not everybody's sleep issues are due to an inactive lifestyle, and I'd bet that is not the case for the majority of people.

You do you, but how else is a parent's question to be taken? I've never had any interest in sharing the depths of my life with my parents, and I'm in my late 40s. That's not because they're bad people; they're not. But they have always kept their life before me separate from their life after me, and I think that's a two-way street.

I don't need to know about how they hoovered up lines of cocaine and went to fetish parties (I don't really think they did either, but it could have happened and I'd never have known), and they don't need to know what I do with my spare time.

In Ardour 5 I am able to simply slide the playback speed slider ("shuttle speed control") to start playing at >1x speed, and after releasing the mouse button it keeps on playing at that speed.

In v6+ the sliding part still works, but upon releasing it the slider springs immediately back to 1x, so I can't easily select a playback speed and keep it going. As a workaround there's the varispeed option, but for me it's not as intuitive (it uses semitones instead of "Xs" as its unit), and feels much less flexible. I could probably live with it if I was forced into it, but I much prefer v5's behavior.

Not really. iPhone 15 Pro is capable of stereoscopic capture. That is a phone that millions will have.

Big budget productions companies (like, you know, Apple) are already shooting with fancy cameras and their 3D pipeline is pretty capable of generating stereoscopy.

Every 3D movie released for 3DTVs is waiting for re-encoding to 4K+. Free money for distribution companies.

Porn companies are the main mover in this domain. VHS, Bluray, and now headsets.

And there are lot of tricks you can use. Like use ML model to estimate depth of any 2D movie.

But real spatial capture and rendering is going to be where the headset will truly shine.
Not entirely! I think some of the large 35mm-size sensors used in the early cameras were designed with those kinds of applications in mind. I know BMD didn't design the sensors in-house, and used off-the-shelf parts, that in a couple of cases were actually larger than the desired sensor size, so they used it anyway but discarded part of the image produced from the sensor in order to make it 35/16mm format.

The problem is again that the three sides are not willing to compromise,

Gaza was returned to the Palestinians in 2005 with no pre conditions, the Israeli settlements were left as-is in hope that Palestinians will use it for good. The famous blocked came only a couple of years later when Hamas won the election.

The Palestinian Authority is not recognized as a state for still have embassies in some countries, so at least for a short while there were 3 states but all in a very unstable and fragile state.

Hamas never abandoned the will the eliminate Israel, extremist Israelis never abandoned the will the add more and more settlements without bothering finding a solution to Arabs, the PA is also not trying to find a real solution partly due to corruption and being afraid of their own rivals.

Having lived most of my adult life in the area I can see how everyone have apoint (with a strong exception of extremists and especially Hamas) but on the other hand how a compromise will never be reached.
What do you mean that’s just not how it works? You said “follow all the way through.” So if your kid picks Super Ghouls N Ghosts or NetHack they may end up never touching another game until they move out? Or do you let them give up after a certain number of hours?

It is because you are listening to bullshit online too much.

I have lived in the US my whole life and I can't remember that last time I left a tip for anything besides a place that you sit down to eat and someone brings you food.

My first job was delivering pizza and that is something with a long social norm of tipping. A tip was a nice bonus but if someone didn't tip it didn't matter because someone else people would tip an irrationally large amount. I didn't think bad of those that didn't tip, I just assumed they were that broke.

It is not that "every one knows" it is that no one cares about this in the real world the way they do when grandstanding on social media.

> using molds that cost $650,000, at a specialty machine shop

Just because the mold was really expensive doesn't mean that the marginal cost of each unit created by it is more than a unit produced by a cheap mold. In many cases, the marginal cost is significantly less as you are able to use less raw material thanks to variable thicknesses, etc. There's a break-even point where the expensive mold becomes cheaper/better and that's another area where experienced manufacturing consultants help out.

After researching this I believe the main je ne sais quoi of old console games on CRT in order of importance is vsync, lack of motion blur due to CRT, low black level (and thus high contrast that LCD cannot begin to compare to), and then phosphor layout.

>LCD is comprised of tiny light bulbs: LEDs

No, it's comprised of liquid crystal (LC) units, each of which effectively control how much of the backlight (which may be LCD or CCFL) passes through itself and thus how bright that pixel is. Although I can see why you would think this with the introduction of "LED Monitors" around 2010, which is totally not intentional misrepresentation from the marketers.

>This is way slower than a CRT

LEDs are fast but LCs are indeed slow.

>Even if you could turn it on and off really fast there's a little bit of a fade that's what they call grey to grey

Smearing is not noticable in LCDs made after the early 2000s. There is still motion blue but that's due to no black frame insertion.

>Some pixels in the LCD if they are a similar color will not even change

This is not a known thing, it's made up. That would require storing a frame and anaylzing it against the previous frame although I wouldn't put that above them (and they do this for other reasons once in a while). This sounds like a corruption of spatial/temporal dithering which actually is a thing in most or at least half of LCDs.

>It doesn't draw the entire thing at once like on an LCD

LCDs don't draw all at once, they scan out just like CRTs (some draw all at once but it's pointless and adds (some) input lag).

>The camera is 30 fps and the tv is 30 fps and somehow you see the band go across the screen

It's because the camera has to be synchronized with the TV and have the exposure set up a certain way otherwise it will capture the screen, e.g., half way through the scanout of a frame. Although I'm not sure you can find any CRT or LCD that can go down to 30Hz.

I've been using XReal (formerly NReal) Air glasses with my laptops lately. They just act as a display when plugged into a USB-C port. After using these seriously for a month or two, it's clear to me that the "killer app" for these HMDs is just using the computer for normal stuff. The ergonomics are great: I don't have to stare down at my laptop screen, and I don't even need a desk or table when I'm using the glasses – it's usually more comfortable to just put the laptop in my lap. And I can turn the laptop screen off, so nobody can see what I'm doing. It's a complete game changer for coffee shops, planes, and working in bed without disturbing your spouse. I don't think the Quest or other VR headsets are typically used this way.

The Vision Pro is obviously just a development platform for apps and for Apple to miniaturize everything, and then it's all going into a pair of regular glasses for everyone to wear all day. Meta is trying to get out in front of them with their Ray-Ban partnership, but those don't include a display yet, although I think they could have done it already.
