I don't see that there is enough value there to motivate the investment.

For games, to the extent that VR works for them... sure, I could see that use case. But for, say, business meetings? Uh, no. Or to hang out with friends? Sure, maybe, but how would they monetize it well enough to make the investment worthwhile? To make it compelling enough that I would visit?

I'm not saying that the use cases don't exist. But either making compelling VR experiences has to be cheap[1] (which I don't see on the near horizon), or they have to add enough value that people will pay for them in some way. That strikes me as uncertain.

[1] If they get cheap, then sure, although then it will have the same problem CGI now has... there is so much of it that it has lost a lot of its magic. It's hard to be common and compelling.
> Then there's the sheisters trying to sell that technology and convince governments that "for safety" people should be required to buy their product.

That feels like a massive straw man. I'm not aware of anyone at this point, or with any plans, to require the use of autonomous vehicles.

> You see the same thing with EVs, rather than it being a purely positive thing that the market has more options for people with different driving patterns you have governments committing to banning the sale of new ICE cars when the deployment is literally in its infancy

That also doesn't make sense to me. Governments don't want to push to EVs because the tech is some nirvana or something, but continued use of ICE vehicles is a large contributor to climate change and we have very limited time to address that.
I'll try to respond to your edit.

People are arguing about your words because the ones you pick to make your argument DO matter. You've chosen the dichotomy generally pushed by the Right, rather than a discussion of health care or women's safety. Consider the difference in feel if you posted this as your two conditionals:

If you believe that doctors should be given leeway to treat their patients as they best see fit even if sometimes you disagree with their rationale, you're going to believe abortion should be available.

If you believe that moral rules should be followed and your moral rules are paramount regardless of any doctor's opinion on the ground, you're going to believe abortion should not be available.

This gives a very different feel and perspective to the conversation. The words you pick matter.
The Road to Rejuvenation
Sure -- it makes sense in the same way that it makes sense industrialization got rid of eunuchs. A barbaric practice has died out in certain parts of the world because we live in the modern age.

To say that wouldn't have happened without industrialization, which wouldn't have happened without profit maximization, which wouldn't have happened without capitalism, is not logical. There is nothing inherent in capitalism which requires profit maximization at the expense of humans, it just requires exploitation of private property (note exploitation here means 'being used' not 'being used in a necessarily harmful manner). There is nothing inherent in industrialization which requires profit maximization, it just requires a cheap source of energy and labor and a market (note that this can be a planned market as in communism, or a market in which the demand is created only for war production and is fed by looting conquered territory, as the fascists did in WWII).

And there is nothing which precludes slavery existing because any of those other things exist. In fact, there were massive amounts of slaves who toiled under Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan in the modern era, and we only don't have them now because they lost the war.

Sorry, your theory holds no water.
Effectively managing junior developers on remote teams

At this point I don’t understand what the Tesla haters are even talking about.

I have the software. I use it daily. I am happy with it.

Somebody in twitter did a dangerous demonstration. This doesn’t change much.

Let’s talk about a different technology and maybe that could help you understand this:

There was a time when consumer drone tech would be looked at as “vaporware”. Almost certainly somebody in the 90s advertised something looking functionally like a DJI phantom and never delivered on it. Pretty much ever you robot I got advertised as a child comes to mind.

If somebody took a DJI phantom and crashed it into a building, does that make the current, existing, very real technology into “vaporware” in your mind?

There was a time when self driving tech was also vaporware, but that time has passed. Somebody using existing, very real technology in a stupid way doesn’t mean that it suddenly doesn’t exist.
Why? You lose the diversification effect. You would have to size the battery to each house's max consumption.
I don’t know what will happen. Possibly deepfakes won’t be a big issue. But I’d still put myself strongly in the “this time is different” camp.

“Stalin could remove a guy from
a photo”. A specialized state intelligence group. “Any photoshop user can do that”. A tiny percent of adults who use photoshop. Now: billions of people can make perfect (soon) fake video, audio, etc and distribute to the world.

I can’t predict the future, but to be confident that this won’t sow chaos seems silly.
Sunlight hitting Earth is around 10^17 W, so that civilization would be rather toasty.
Documentation (including code comments) are vital and important, but it's far better to bake the proper constraints into the code/specs so that it's hard to make mistakes. Then the docs are less necessary, shorter, and easier to understand. I think this is what GP is getting at.
Show HN: Native Bard iOS App
This iOS app supports Google's new Gemini Pro model - making it a pseudo, arguable better, interface for interacting with Bard/Gemini Pro. It's powered by your own API Key so there's no backend involved.

The app also Supports GPT-4 Turbo, DALL-E 3, Claude 2.1 and any OpenAI based model (eg. OpenRouter)
I don’t expect someone in their early 20’s, being paid CVS wages, and dealing with a ton of people all day to necessarily have the best backbone in the face of an armed thug demanding information face to face.

Respecting privacy should be a tenant of law enforcement, since that’s like one of our rights or something, but cops and police unions have been operating outside of the law for their entire history in the US.

Oh that's interesting, would you be able to name your project The Beatles and make an Abbey Road team photo, or maybe Radiohead is a better example as it's not a real word, if you had a similar acronym ahead of time? Or is it just that Slint doesnt have the legal team of the Beatles? Genuinely curious how it works.
Florida/Washington/California are more hospitable to surviving while homeless. New York has New York City, which has a law requiring it to provide shelter from the elements for all homeless.

Not much of a surprise that there are more homeless where a person is more likely to survive winters and summers without shelter.

According to Ben (the author and proprietor of Stratechery) every major influential VC firm and/or head subscribes. He once remarked that something to the effect of there's no major VC that isn't subscribed, I deliver email to their inboxes daily. I do think he's also quite popular with many big time CEOs (Mark Zuckerburg being a confirmed subscriber for one. Who knows who reads what though).

I'm not sure if that means anything though, to be quite honest.

That said, I think its really the business of technology, and that could make this useful, but for ICs or those on a more technical path that don't plan on owning a business? That is less direct.

All of this is to say, I think the more one understands the systems at play in which they live and work, the better they are at making informed decisions, especially about where to work. I left a job a few years ago for another one at a company that was working in the space that publications like this were talking about - but the market itself hadn't seen as high growing fields yet - and having that ahead of time analysis lead me to believe it would be lucrative for me to switch companies, and that really did work out for me.
The OIDC spec tells you that you must not to use e-mail as a unique identifier. You must use the 'iss' and 'sub' fields as username in your application.

Why? Well, for a start, it's obvious that user e-mail addresses can be re-used. If you've got a contractor working for Business A and Business B, both who create a user account in their authentication service for them, then as a SaaS platform, you can't match their e-mail address to a single B2B customer.

Secondly, there's the really obvious thing that e-mail addresses change. Businesses get bought, change name, go through mergers, etc. etc., and people's names change too (marriage, divorce, because they feel like it).

I found implementing SSO to be really challenging for a start-up. Getting it correct is hard, and you need to have a good understanding of the general concepts and OIDC and OAuth2 before trying to put it into use. Auth0 have a good book. If you don't understand this, then you'll probably end up doing something like implementing password grant auth everywhere and leave your application insecure.
Those are not evidence of the contrary. They're attempts, at best.
Some markets are big enough to support these niches . My Gaggia Espresso machine built today could easily be mistaken for a 1950s product.

Cars suffer from a few issues. The biggest one is regulatory . It’s prohibitive for any manufacturer to break from the trend. A 1990s-style vehicle would be illegal today because of DOT & EPA mandates. And auto makers try to employ re-usable components that are DOT certified.
I rarely need prescription medication, but when I do, I go to the pharmacy to get it filled. I don't know of any other way to get the medication.

Judging by how long the lines at the pharmacy are, I have lots of company.

Ah. Maybe I should stop looking for life/work advice on HN, lol. (Don't take this as a personal slight at all please.)
Just in case Eric sees this -- We're an Apple household, but I have to use a PC for work. Beeper has allowed me to extend iMessage elegantly to my work computers and works MUCH better than the alternatives. Their new solution works well for me as we have a Mac Mini always on at home. Using the registration code with Beeper's servers makes the whole thing more performant than any other alternative. I'd gladly pay them for the service.
> along with intelligent speed assistance

Shame. I've never had it work really reliably in any car, it's a feel good but mostly shit. Even more so when it's not even hooked into cruise (many cars will provide a shortcut to copy the sign's speed into the cruise or speed limiter, but far from all of them).
Twine – Android Launcher with ChatGPT Assistant
I built this because I wanted a clean launcher that just showed me the apps I used the most. I also want to access ChatGPT from my home screen and have it do some simple things requiring deeper integration with your phone.

I would love any feedback.

- Automatically organizes apps on the home screen by usage
- ChatGPT assistant on the home screen that uses tools to do simple things for you (create tasks, notes, remember information about people, search, directions timers, etc...)

I have octopus agile for electricity and octopus tracker for gas. Been on both since February when my last fixed rate ended.

It has worked out great so far, some days when there isn’t much wind can be painful but overall it works out better. Even if it didn’t, I’d rather pay a fair amount than have energy companies rip me off.

Granted, but I'm not saying that just posting and commenting on HN, or passing the various gates, constitutes being 'in'. Even having high karma isn't 'in'. I don't know if I can articulate what counts as being 'in', but certainly participation in a YC round is part of it.

"But how can an 'international data plan' be a thing, since the whole point is that the Internet doesn't have borders?" (some rando I mumbled to about this)

That's because nation states aren't the only gatekeepers. Those centralized services are also gatekeepers. Not only the services, the people who put the brick in your hands.

A lot of free or low cost phones in places where people don't have much income are essentially tethered to some AOL-like service, like Facebook. Really, your internet connection is to (or optimized for) Facebook: it's e.g. a "Facebook phone". Anything that's not "Facebook" counts against your data plan.
> indefinite hospital order

does this actually mean life?
I'm honestly curious why you think this. The CO Supreme Court made an originalist interpretation and ruling, based on some of Associate Justice Gorsuch's rulings from when he was a 10th circuit judge in Colorado.

Do you think SCOTUS thinks this is a genuinely wrong ruling, or that SCOTUS will find a way to reverse it because of their partisan leanings, or ...?

Virtually the entire economy is predicated on cheap money. Upending that norm means major changes in lifestyle for most of the population. I don't just mean doing more with less. I mean that a good portion of white collar workers will be diverted into blue collar work if they are lucky: a lot of it characterized by menial pay and bad working conditions.
while I do think the poster is a bit of a jackass, it's obvious they meant ending the life of a fetus and not ending the life of a person in general.

We can take them for what they meant rather than what they said.
Faster arXiv with Fastly
Keep in mind that in a corporate context, not asking the user for permission or explaining what/why you are doing something is the (sociopathic imo, but nevertheless) norm. To the degree you do disclose something like that it is inevitably hidden away or obfuscated by being put somewhere in the UX that no one ever really goes.

Like seriously. I had the argument before;

Architect: we're going to fingerprint users.
Me: are you going to disclose that?
Architect: Of course not.
Me: It's their device. You should ask.
Architect: That defeats the point.
Me: You either don't understand property rights, or clearly have issues with the concept of consent.

The entire IT space has been decades of building while eliding the fact these experiences are fundamentally being driven on someone else's hardware.

>this report means either the software has gotten better at communicating its intent to other drivers, or the driving public is aware that Waymo cars are way more cautious

There's at least one other alternative: selection bias. Since there is no standard industry definition, companies are allowed to not report many incidents.

>"Waymo, on the other hand, ran complex computer simulations after each disengagement, and only reported to the DMV those where it believed the driver was correct to take charge, rather than being overly cautious."[1]

So it may not be reported unless it meets Waymo's (non-independent) selection criteria. I think most people can at least recognize there is a potential conflict of interest when objective reporting isn't required.

That’s a bummer..
I don’t see why neighborhoods should have to allow more homes to be built. America is huge and mostly empty, there’s tons of land to build on before we start trying to ruin existing communities. When I hear this it just sounds like trying to set the precedent of screwing people out of their land. Your mention of profit sounds like trying to do so without fair compensation, which currently is at least required for eminent domain.
Probably a dumb question, but is this trained by the use of lots of inputs of similar objects, or is it 'just' estimating by the look of the input image?

Like, if you have an image of a car, viewed at an angle, you can gauge the shape of the 3d object from the image itself. You could then assume that the hidden side of the car is similar to the side that you can see, and when you generate a 360 rotation animation of it, it will look pretty good (cars being roughly symmetrical). But if you gave it a flat image of a playing card, just showing the face up side, how would it reconstruct the reverse side? Would it infer it based on the front, or would it 'know' from training data that playing cards have a very different patterned back to them?
You can try reading the article:

"He will remain at a secure hospital for life unless doctors deem him no longer a danger."
Yes, there's lots of houses in suburbs with empty bedrooms. If there was an incentive for boomers to rent rooms in their houses like in the 1920s. But that is risky for the boomers.

How about to reduce risk, but reward lucky ownwes, a lot of houses too big for aging boomers, could have incentive payments to sell to HUD to convert into rooming houses, with lockable bedrooms rented separately, and the shared kitchens and bathrooms cleaned by HUD, and quick evictions for any troublesome renters.
So more like renting at a YMCA or backpackers' hostel, ideal for the working poor.
> better give them what they want or else

A tale as old as the first police union: when the city tried to reign them in, the Portland Police politely threatened to walk off the job and the chief (iirc) casually showed up to negotiations with a dossier on one of the city councilors just laid out on the table next to his gun.
This is one of the majors problems with completely locked-down platforms. Assurances that the owner of the platform respects your privacy and prevents others from violating it are really just a pinky promise.

Yeah, the systems I've used are dire.
I met a homeless guy in Seattle from Great Falls Montana once. He made his way to Spokane first, which has a similar historic skid row but doesn’t have the weather and social resources if Seattle. Then he just gradually came to Seattle. I always use great falls as an example now, you aren’t surviving unhoused there, so if you burn your bridges with your friends and family, you will go west to survive. The same is true in Vancouver to our north: it’s mild weather and social resources attract homeless from all around western Canada, it’s much easier to survive in Vancouver than Calgary or Edmonton.

There was a study once that said most of Seattle’s homeless were local, but it was self reported and they all reported having been born and raised in pioneer square, so something was off there. I wouldn’t put much faith I those studies.

I know nothing about how it works on the east coast though.

You're lumping a lot of things together here. It's entirely possible to test changes and have reversible deployments with them being scheduled or really coordinated with anyone, and "tracking" deployments can be trivially automated as a log of git refs deployed without any real bureaucracy or human involvement.
I have had it were devs could run locally, but their machine was not setup like production and they included some library, dll, or other dependency that was on their laptop into the project and then it blows up in prod....

fun times...

even more fun when that project is a GUI app installed on lots of computers and now you have a new dependency to roll out to every system because it would be too hard for the dev to revert and fix it where the code did not need that dependency...

Even more fun when that dependency comes from licensed software that you only have a limited number of licenses for

It was:

> > "Acting unexpectedly" is one of the aspects that makes dealing with mentally ill people anxiety-producing.

> Wat.

The "Wat" probably refers to the fact that this seems unrelated. Dealing with mentally ill people is anxiety-inducing because they act unexpectedly... so what? Lots of things are unexpected. They shouldn't all be drawn into the analogy that says "well, that thing, plus a load of other things, can induce anxiety, therefore that thing should be tarnished with the same brush as all of those things."

People drive in unexpected ways all the time. Of all the criticisms to level at them, "the thing you're doing plus a load of other stuff can induce anxiety" probably isn't top of the list.
Somehow this inequality matters and business leaders are "concerned" but the pay differences between the same groups, the fact that many workers get almost no time off, or that "right to work" laws mean that your employer (and frequently your source of healthcare) can drop you at any time for any reason without even having to provide severance, isn't an issue.

It's just laughable.
Agreed. I would not consider running a closed source shell because it's not auditable.
