I think they wanted to replace it for a capabilities check but I dont think there is an alternative just yet.
I called this when the vision Pro was announced [1]; so I'm going to take this opportunity to call something new (if you can tolerate my "bragginess" :)), even though both are not really crazy to predict. Apple is already producing new content for Apple TV+ in this spacial video format. It will probably be released along with the Vision Pro or before EoY 2024.

Thanks for the link. I tried it in my quest 3. The picture quality is awesome. I wonder why those "VR Experiences" are filmed for 180° which is super pixellated. High resolution + hdr + 3d is way more immersive then a super stretched out pixelated mess.

But the 3d effect is very subtle. I guess thats what you get from two cameras sitting 2cm next to each other (instead of the typical 6cm of two eyes). IMO the early reports from people trying the vision pro have entirely oversold it. Yes, it's better then your typical 180°, but the 3d is disappointing.

The samsung galaxy and pixel pro with their 3 lenses next to each other, using the two outer ones could do much better, if they implemented something similar. So in typical apple fashion, they are hamstrung by their own design.
It doesn’t specifically target Asahi Linux and/or Firefox but reduces resolution on ARM devices. That behavior and assumptions made through a user agent string may be debated but that’s another topic.
Only in coca-cola it keeps me awake, but it doesn't give me any energy. It just keeps me from sleeping.
I have been in the same boat while living in SF.

I don’t believe addicts and even to extension a lot of dealers should be locked up. I agree generally that nonviolent crimes probably don’t net benefit the community by locking people up. Assuming we are talking about our existing prison system.

For addicts unfortunately I don’t know what else is possible beyond locking them up in mental health institutions. Perhaps we need to try out new types of addiction centers that we can enroll people into? I don’t know what the answer is and I am not sure if we have the help of history. We certainly had drugs in the past but most of the time it sounds like people were drunks. Now we have a crisis of addicts using drugs that are unstoppable.

I wish I had a better idea but everything so far has not worked. There is probably a cutoff. You have the individuals that are not possible to bring back and the ones that could maybe become recovering addicts. The ones that are not coming back just need to go to state institutions.
> What Apple ought to be in trouble for is interfering with their operating system customers' ability to patronize competing app stores.

This isn’t illegal. Equivalent to a “No outside food and drink” sign or not letting randos sell things in your own storefront

It’s not illegal just because you don’t agree with the philosophy of a closed ecosystem
So they are serving lower resolutions to ARM devices with no GPU acceleration. Doesn't sound like deliberately crippling Asahi Macs to me.. more like a reasonable default assuming those devices are something like a raspberry pi. I'm assuming it is just a default and you can select whatever resolution you like.

Detecting if the device has 20 cores or whatever like he says if possible would be more invasive of privacy. They would be criticized for that too. There's just no winning lol

> Why should my choice of hardware or OS dictate the apps I'm allowed to install?

Do you own an iPhone? I suspect that the vast majority of people complaining about Apple's "lock down" are people who don't even use an iPhone.

If you do own an iPhone ... why the heck did you buy one knowing its limitations. It's like buying a pink shirt when you hate pink, despite the availability of shirts of other colors, then going to the manufacturer to complain about the color.
In this example, it seems the API should return some 4xx error.

If there's a process with two steps, moving from Step A to B requires the process to be at Step A and it's already at step B, it should return an error. At first glance, this doesn't seem the kind of problem that idempotency is supposed to prevent...

These problems are so American. Downtown in European cities (that I know) are as vibrant as ever. Europe has done just as many social programs as Portland or probably more. Why do people no live in these areas?

It seems to me this problem is much larger then drug law enforcement.

Oh please. Sweeney’s track record is frankly solid for indie devs. It’s not a branding thing.

There must be something else going on. Those lenses on the iPhone are perhaps 1 or 2 cm apart. That wouldn't result in a very natural 3D effect.

So I guess they're doing some processing to generate 3D models, or something along those lines.

> Portland did everything! [...]

They got all of the carrots sure, but there was no stick. The reason these programs have success elsewhere is that they give people the choice of prison or treatment.

Also, nowhere except the US just decided to legalize public drug use. In fact one of the goals of harm reduction programs in other places is to get the users out of public spaces.
Privatize all property. Eliminate zoning, licensing, labor laws including minimum wage, price controls, and building codes. Eliminate inflationary monetary policy. Dismantle the military industrial complex which creates the veteran->streets pipeline. Eliminate laws which reduce/limit liability of drug manufacturers.

These policies eliminate the cliff off which people fall, resulting in living/defecating on the streets. There will still be some tiny fraction that are too ill/handicapped to work, but once their numbers are so small it becomes easier to help them on a case by case basis. Defining a top-down, centrally planned strategy from afar is the opposite of how to help anyone.

Don't you mean 35?
Well the main reason I made this is to get ChatGPT to number messages so I could refer to one or a range when asking it to revise or use a message to make a later message. That’s the biggest benefit on a practical level. But then I started making more commands and functions for many useful things.

Like for example if I want to expand a message 5 to make it longer and more verbose iterating 3 times, instead of typing that prompt several times I can just type one line of //N syntax:

//! (//5 expand //v,3)

and it does it.

Now assume that CPT’s reply it makes is message 14 in the chat. So then if I like iteration 2 the best I can draft a new msg from it to it with expand 14.2

Many other useful tricks can be done. Try the //?? Command to see it generate 20 examples.
> how systems of the same kind get ordered

Curious about this too - it can be frustrating to manually have to add new systems to a fixed list (the amount of times I've got stuck into building a system, then wonder why nothing's happening at runtime - because I forgot to new() it and add it to the system group!), but at the same time, it's often important to fix at compile-time the order that systems run in as they can often be implicitly dependent on each other. I didn't see anything in the docs from a glance that would allow this dependency/ordering to be explicitly marked, so I'm curious to see how it handles this.
Have to agree with this. Not saying the check should be there, but the majority of non-mobile/server ARM devices are generally underpowered, especially with per-core performance.
> I totally understand your frustration, but our failure so far should lead us to examine the obvious structural issues at fault here, and not abandon our fellow man and give in to the more basic instincts to push them away

The issue isn't fundamentally structural. It's personal. There's no structure that I'm aware of that gets people to take more and more debilitating drugs, other than a lack of structure on stopping the drugs entering the country.
I get that HN is an english-language website from the US, and that I'm not entitled for this website to include me. Don't take this as personal criticism -- if anything I like your project --, I'm hating the game and not the player. But the english language and US/UK culture are hegemonic today, which means people from all around the world read and write the words "book" and "author" on HN without realizing, or realizing too well, depending on who they are, that what is actually meant is "english-language books" (including a moderate amount of translations, thank goodness) and "english-speaking authors" (a majority of whom are American or British, even when they are immigrants). I'm not sure this comment will do anything, but someone had to say it, maybe just to maintain a modicum of awareness that millions of books are written in other languages and never make it to the english-speaking eye, and are thus buried alive as not-really-books and their writers not-really-authors in the global conversation. Maybe the relevant adjectives ("english-language", "American", "British") might be used more to remind readers that by "books" we do not mean "all books", but "books accessible in the US"?
I don't feel like there is a good reason to expose this to websites by default. Just turn on resistFingerprinting and be done with most of this crap.

50-500 QPS is quite substancial scale.

It's about +5M requests per day or ~2B per year. That's on the lower end! The higher end is ~20B requests per year!

I think using distributed SQL for that kind of scale may not be a wise choice, but that's my opinion...
That's a very American perspective. Downtown in European cities (that I know) are as vibrant as ever. Europe has done just as many social programs as Portland or probably more.

It seems to me this problem is much larger then drug law enforcement.

The US had far better economic growth then Europe in general. With much of Europe barley growing since early 2010.

Why do people no live in these areas? Why are there so many homeless in the first place.
Ah, so it's for constructing displays. A nice feature to have if you expect e.g. Pascal to be the most popular high-level language used on your ISA, I guess. Probably could also be used to implement flat closures when combined with "Cheney on the M.T.A." allocation scheme?
Why do you want that? This does not really win performance when you start to care about it yet imposes severe requirements on the programmer to ensure that manually deallocated object is not referenced anywhere.
Hmmm, serving low resolution videos to ARM devices running Linux also makes harder for a competitor to build an alternative to Android.
Did you even read the post before you commented? From the post:

> I believe this only triggers on software decoding, which is why it particularly affects us (and not, say, macOS which has hardware decoding).

It's completely sensible for YT to assume an ARM device without acceleration needs lower quality video.
Yes and now compare to Asia... one of TSMC's complaints about how hard it is to run a top-tier fab in the USA is that Americans don't work as hard as Taiwanese people do. So compare Taiwan to Europe and imagine the gap!
Taking that as an axiom; then what exactly would the plan be to make the welfare system work? Conservatives are frequently going to be in power, they represent about half the votes.

If half the voters think something is not an option, then it isn't an option. That is the joy of democracy. There needs to be a consensus to implement policies long term. Assuming you are correct (big assumption, but still) then the only real choice is to abandon the welfare system. Otherwise, the alternative is to abandon the welfare system spitefully in a way that doesn't achieve anything for anyone.

Interpreting if/else logic with a simple flat list of booleans
This isn't correct, as npins is a signed int and SYS_kbind is just a macro for the integer 86 (as defined in sys/syscall.h). So it will be a signed comparison between the value of npins and 86.
Glad this wasn’t just me. I reset my router before I realised
It looks like it's not specific to Asahi or Firefox - YouTube is limiting resolution on any ARM system, but Chrome on ARM lies and claims to be x86.

To be fair, there are a lot of ARM Chromebooks and SBCs that can't really handle 4K video.
From one of the responses:

> Why are web services like this? Just let the client or user decide, dammit!

1) because YT is paying real $$ to show me videos of cats (especially when I have a bunch of ad-blockers and haven't see a YT ad in 15 years)
2) because "it's your phone dude, you don't need to watch a cat-video in 4k!! your friggin' screen doesn't have 4k to begin with
3) because we can

It took a few steps to get it out of the phone and onto YouTube in a way I could watch it in my VR headset, but the result is kind of nifty and nice to be able to produce with the phone I already have with me. I think a recent update to the Spatialify app that I was using makes it so you can do everything on the phone now (I had to run it through ffmpeg on my computer).

What American cities need more then public housing, is housing. Actual policies that increase housing stock and make it possible to live in these places without a car.

That is how you actually decrease total cost of living.

The US has been trending up, between housing and transportation, a huge amount of people spend well above 50% of their income on that, and poorer people even more.

Public housing can be part of this, but by itself it wont fix anything.
If anybody is wondering "how the heck did Raylib solve the problem of running an actual render loop in the browser without a requestAnimationFrame callback", take note of the "-s ASYNCIFY" option that's passed to emcc.

I guess the WindowShouldClose() function yields control back to the browser event loop, which only works if the WASM code has been transformed into an async/await style state machine (and that's exactly what ASYNCIFY does).

I still wonder though how well this approach synchronizes with the swapchain presentation interval (which AFAIK is one advantage of using requestAnimationFrame).

I think the point is if you move that denormalisation to the application (the ORM say) then it's less data on the wire.

Similarly keeping schema information gives the ORM more to work with I suppose? Helpful for typing, foreign key links where it's not necessarily the same original table structure, but in the query result professor_id is still ultimately a foreign key to professor table, etc.

Sears Roebuck failed. I'm starting to wonder if Sears Roebuck didn't fail by not innovating but perhaps the business is not very lucrative and it doesn't matter who tries. Retail, even at scale, is not wildly profitable- not in the $billions we come to expect from SV software companies.
