I suspect that's so they don't have to prove obvious things like: cameras exist, cameras can take pictures etc. Or for stuff like the defendant attacking someone during the trial.
One of my pet peeves is the continued use of ambiguous phrases like "masks work" or "masks help" when there are effectively two different mechanisms (inhalation/exhalation).

I suspect the prolonged mass confusion over such an elementary topic will be one for the Science Communicator books.

> I'm only able to work about 2-3 hours per days

Is that a hard limit, or are you saying that under normal office hours you can only do 2-3 hours? Eg, could you do a few hours in the morning and a few hours in the evening?

I'm guessing that's not possible but if you could push it to 5-6 hours I suspect you'd have a much easier time at finding employment because then you say you're basically able to do what a full-timer is doing, you'd just need a little extra flexibility in terms of hours worked.
He mentions all these other ways of doing tracing and I assume he means eBPF, but I've yet to see anything useful I can run from the CLI to use that.

So what is there out there? Because I'm a veteran Linux/Unix sysadmin for 25 years now and I love strace when I'm in a bind.

So what should I look at now based on eBPF instead?
Two features that are really clever from a product perspective:

1. Using the spatial cameras/features to scan your own face. I'm surprised Quest 3 doesn't do this... As soon as I saw the concept, I thought, "DUH! So smart it's obvious in hindsight!"

2. EyeSight, to enable people to still "see" your face when you wear the device. Very cool... As a Quest 3 user in mixed reality, I think I freak my family out when I walk around and talk to them.

Really neat!
I don't think we should draw gigantic conclusions from the v1 of this product.

I trust Apple-made lenses a lot more than any strip-mall optician.

Apple lenses will be worse than the best but far better than the average.
well that's gotta be why it's called the Vision Pro and not the Vision, right?
What's interesting to me is that it seems to fully get rid of the screen door effect, and could actually be useable for work with virtual huge screens. I didn't really get into VR games, and maybe I should take another crack at them with something cheaper from meta before investing in the Vision Pro.

Anyway, there's no way my work will buy me one, and I'm not buying one with my own dollars just to lock it to my corp account, so not sure I could even use it for my dream use case.

I like the article and the proposals.

I think "no evidence" is problematic and I think Bayesian reasoning is fundamental to science reporting. Maybe it doesn't even go far enough though, sometimes you need domain expertise.

Consider:

● Pesticide A was evaluated by the FDA and was declared safe in USA.

● Pesticide A was evaluated and banned in Europe.

● Pesticide A's molecule is similar to pesticide B, which is declared unsafe in USA.

● Of the last 10,000 pesticides to be declared safe by the USA, it actually turns out that Y% of them end up later being declared unsafe or only safer at a lesser dose.

● Pesticide A has only been evaluated by giving a 10,000x dose and looking for effects within a 1-week period. It has never been evaluated by giving a natural dose and looking for long term effects, nor effects on pregnant mothers.

● State that uses Pesticide A (but also many other products) has a 10x elevation of very rare cancers

This is a very realistic picture of the type of datapoints you might start with.

---

Or consider a case like this:

● Fighter pilot says he saw an alien spacecraft accelerate 100x the speed of a rocket with no noise, or visible propellant

● 50 other people say they saw strange things in incidents too

● There's good reason to think that faster-than-light-travel violates causality

● Scientists haven't found any radiowaves that indicate intelligent life anywhere they have looked

I think the point is: I don't see how you get good answers without a bunch of really good bayesianists in the FDA or in Science

I don't know a good translation for "Inaugenscheinnahme". Literally "taking-into-eyeshine".

It means observing the accused, the witnesses, objects introduced into trial and so on. In the sense of experiencing something with one's senses. It does not mean "let me apply my world view".

It seems crazy to me how much attention flying accidents get vs car accidents. No fatalities in this flight.

Flying is one of the safest modes of transport. And we have FAA and stringent training / maintenance processes to thank.

US has the highest death rate per million inhabitants. Even Russia is lower now.

~100 people die every day from car accidents.

If only car accidents were investigated with the rigor of flight accidents.
Great for them, I guess. But those vehicles look terribly ugly to me.
I remember the first time, circa early 2000s, I viewed the source of Google.com via Internet Explorer 4, and saw the minified, obfuscated, source code strung across one long, long line. My previous exposure to sophisticated JS was limited to Macromedia canned MM_Rollover scripts. I thought, man, this paired with their Altavista besting search engine and Marissa Mayer designed, spartan front-page—these folks are some fucking engineers.

That was the feeling at the time for me.
I stopped dealing with anything to do with Canonical the moment I saw their job ads require you to put in your high school gpa. Yes, even if you're a senior+ engineer.
The fact of the matter is that under capitalism, you can choose to pool your resources with other people and start your own little communist society embedded in the capitalist society. As long as all of your participants are consenting, that's allowed.

On the flipside, in a nominally communist society (or more accurately, a socialist society which is striving to achieve communism in the future, supposedly a scientifically inevitable outcome which has never panned out...), you're not allowed to create an embedded capitalist society of consenting members. People still do it of course, but it is officially forbidden and all the consenting participants are risking state violence.

The reason the commune of consenting members embedded in a capitalist society doesn't satisfy you is because you think that "real communism" can only be done if you can force unconsenting people to comply; if you are allowed to steal and murder anybody who isn't with you. But the truth is that even when people striving for communism have free reign to force compliance of the unwilling, they still inevitability fail to achieve communism. It's a utopian ideology which will never be realized, which is good only for giving the bitter and resentful a license to murder.

Agree. Have similar thoughts here. I totally understand where he comes from. Competitive upbringing and schools (U of Waterloo is of the top CS universities and it's grueling, look it up), faang and silicon valley experiences, I have met many people from the similar backgrounds.

If you want to succeed in this environment, either you are 1. naturally talented to deal with all the pressure and competitiveness; 2. relentless work until you burn out; 3. actively develop some kind of coping mechanisms to help you progress.

I work in faang and I am not type 1. I did type 2 and then tried to recover from type 3 route. I did have many similar conclusions as he had. Actively work on your mindset does help you to work under such environment.
This is the use case I really want to pan out... but so far have been disappointed. My latest attempt was the Quest Pro, and while the virtual monitors were useable for the first time, they were something around 1080p and the latency was too distracting.
Longtime soundcloud user here (creator and consumer, pro subscriber). Not excited about this news but also a good time to share about Mixcloud:

Yeah that’s fine. But we still don’t have any tangible specifics in regards to what Apple needs to be reviewing for a locally hosted LLM. What can possibly be the criteria?

Probably an alternative version of this app or a similar app can provide an option to load your own models. Is that a problem for Apple to allow?

What I have found in my personal (and perhaps biased and anecdotal experience) is that there is a large cadre of LLM and AI hating people who inevitably start rambling about (a) safety and (b) copyright violations. Which I find reflect more about their mental model of the world and less about reality, in that they tends to be statists and collectivists that want a central authority to “protect” them. Which obviously get’s under my skin as that unfortunately mass instinct is what enabled big government, mass surveillance, and totalitarianism. Just my 2 cents, which undoubtedly many on HN may disagree with, and that’s fine, especially as I’m actually very interested in hearing more specifics from the AI safeguards crowd as admittedly perhaps I’m missing something terrible about this new hammer that has been invented, a hammer I find to be incredibly useful for nailing in all sorts of ways.

It's not whether he has some magical "scientist" card, it's whether he ran an experiment.

Imagine Carl ran an experiment where he put a sign in front of various groups of turnips asking for things like aliens, Bigfoot, or faeries to take the turnips.

After running this experiment, only the turnips with signs associated to aliens were taken.

In this scenario, Carl would have some scientific evidence suggesting aliens took his turnips. It'd be weak evidence that likely wouldn't be replicated, but still evidence.

Phone slows down, meanwhile you continue updating apps which are more demanding, and this 'forces' you to upgrade to the newer/faster phone.

I rarely update apps, as I 'freeze' the updates once I get a good-enough version (i.e. Spotify keeps messing things up imho). So with a stable iOS and the same apps, the CPU/RAM should feel the same. If you slow down my CPU, then the experience becomes worse, thus buying the newer phone.

>So your stance is that I imagined the whole thing?

Yes, the life you could've had but didn't exists only in your imagination.

>You're not making any sense here. It's absolutely, undisputably factual that when a child lacks basic necessities for development, they don't develop properly and will suffer as a consequence.

No, it isn't. Some children do alright in shit circumstances, while some fail to in great circumstances. And some people suffer despite the trappings of success while others are content with what others may describe as failure.

>As a consciously conscious being, I have awareness of that suffering. That's not a "fixation", it's an actual chronic issue that makes life 100x harder than it needs to be,

Do you think any suffering in childhood inevitably leads to a lifetime of inescapable suffering? If not, just how much early suffering does it take? If a child who suffered slightly less can get over it, why not the one who suffered slightly more?

I think the biggest innovation with this is Apple is giving their competitors the ability to start charging stupidly outrages prices for AR/VR.

I'm not even being sarcastic. Just wait.
I think adoption being limited because of price is useful here. If it was cheaper, more people would buy it and be disappointed. As it stands, only wealthy early adopters or die-hard Apple fans who can see them do no wrong will buy it. It selects for an audience that is less likely to be critical.

I had the strange experience of reading all of Paradise Lost and finding it very understandable, but having the opposite experience with Aeropagetica, where I had to give up because I couldn't understand what he was saying.

On a school that was connected to a bunch of other schools through a (for the time) superfast network, we all used DC++.

Most of the good stuff was on groups where a minimum amount of GB shared was a requirement for joining. As a result, people would just share all kinds of stuff on it and you could directly browse an individual system. Hilariously, some people would even just share their entire OS drive, Users folder and all.

It was a fantastic resource though. I've discovered so many amazing things, just scavenging through random computers during the less interesting classes.

I see the value of that function mostly in public spaces. When you sit on the train, in a plane, waiting at the airport, etc it's currently difficult (though not impossible) to bring a good screen setup, and the risk of shoulder-surfing limits the kinds of data you can work on. A VR headset theoretically solves both issues.

Of course Apple are hardly the first to promise this, and ever other implementation I've tried so far suffered from being incredibly inconvenient due to the low resolution of VR headsets. The Apple Vision Pro at least has 4k for each eye, which should allow you to simulate 1080p screens at a comfortable distance. That might be enough to make it viable if the controls work out good enough. Still not enough to beat physical monitors when you have the space for them.

Well, nothing succeeds like success, and htmx came in at #2 on the 2023 js rising stars:

https://risingstars.js.org/2023/en#section-framework

Just behind react and ahead of vue, svelte & angular. So the future looks promising in that regard (although I do expect it to drop back after the initial excitement dies down).

htmx is pretty simple, most web developers can pick it up in a day or so. It does require a mental shift for both developers as well as PM/architects in how development is done, because it pushes the organization more towards a full-stack paradigm, with developers owning whole features rather than "front end" and "back end". We have a book, free online, you can read, that will help with this:

https://hypermedia.systems

In addition to the docs (https://htmx.org/docs, which should take about an hour to read) we also have a bunch of essays on both philosophical & practical issues around htmx & hypermedia in general:

https://htmx.org/essays

htmx tries to be "scaleable" in that there are very few base ideas to the library and you can use only a few of them to implement useful behavior (e.g. lazy loading, to pull a section of a page out of the critical first-paint path, is two attributes: https://htmx.org/examples/lazy-load) but then it provides enough hooks and deeper features (e.g. events, event filters, etc.) that as you get deeper into it you can accomplish what you want.

finally, with respect to spaghetti code, this is a perennial danger in all software development. My admittedly limited experience with SPA libraries has not convinced me that they prevent spaghetti. w/htmx you want to focus your efforts on the back end and take advantage of whatever tools your server-side environment offers to properly factor your application. Because htmx allows you to pick any server side technology (SPAs put pressure on you to adopt JavaScript/TypeScript on the back-end, since you already have a large application written in them for the front-end) you have many more options & paradigms available for organizing the bulk of your application logic.

addendum: I should mention that i try to outline when htmx is a good choice for an application here:

https://htmx.org/essays/when-to-use-hypermedia/

htmx is a tool, a good tool in many cases, but just a tool, and i want to be clear that it isn't a silver bullet for web development
