Apple Vision Pro: $3,499 headset gets release date
As someone who owns an RTX 3070, why is it so special? I've found myself wishing I had the 3060 Ti for the 12gb memory, sometiemes.

Zooming out a little, political news is repetitive, except for the names, and most of it is just mud throwing:

- This is the most important election of our times. The other candidate wants to send you and your children to the gulag.

- Person X had sex with person Y and laundered PAC money.

- Government shutdown unless item X gets funded and item Y doesn’t. X supporters say Y supporters are holding the country hostage. Y supporters say they just want America to get back to work.

- ...
They highlighted that the original logic was somewhat faulty, and could be applied to say "Non-apple users should not be allowed to send emails to Apple users, because they have not paid Apple to maintain the iCloud email infrastructure!".

"fewer"
The "header-only" is actually accidental.

It's all C++ template classes, which must be fully defined at their declaration site (so the header). When using the template, the compiler will generate the code needed by "instantiating the template" (for lack of a better word).

The other advantage is that it requires no build system to include in your project.
This is the natural result of cable news becoming increasingly biased and even outright and completely false and/or misleading. There is almost no tolerance for asking even the most basic critical questions of the prevailing narrative or having an honest conversation with dissenters of mainstream views. Watching mainstream news feels increasingly like watching propaganda instead of "news".

There is not even an attempt to be fair anymore to all sides of any given issue, and the editorial contempt for the average viewer/reader leaks through much more often than it used to. The natural response from many people is simply to stop watching, and to get their news elsewhere. Thus far, mainstream news networks have not seemed to care or do any introspection at all as to why they are losing so much viewership and credibility.
I'm not quite sure it's the same thing, but I many years ago had an idea for inflatable control surfaces for low-speed vehicles place of mechanical ailerons. I was in between jobs at the time and thought it might be an interesting diversion, especialyl as I've always been a bit of a plane geek. I'm sure it might've been, but after buying a few books on patenting and general design development I quickly realised I was going to be in way over my head and that my savings - grand as I thought they were at the time - would barely make a dent in development costs. Ho hum.

When I first opened the page, I thought this was just a knockoff of the "Digital Logic Sim" by Sebastian Lague [1], but watching the video, I was impressed by how much deeper this actually went. So I bought it! Hopefully I get some time in the near future to play around with it.

That 'log' is generated by journalists, and the only reason why I have a paid subscription to a newspaper. Imagine living in a world without journalists and politicians and enterprises can do whatever they like without anyone ever writing about it...
There's a two-pronged problem.

1. The event log -- in many places, this still doesn't exist in digital, structured, usable format. It's gotten better, but there's still a ways to go

2. Referencing the underlying event log -- there needs to be interpretation, summarization, and commentary, for the average viewer/reader. However, all of that should come with a reference to the underlying event log

We've gotten to the place we've gotten because (1) is impenetrable to the average person (or non-existent) and (2) doesn't happen.

Consequently, a bag of words has become more and more confused with facts.

We've had hyperlink technology for a while, journalism needs to fucking use it. :/

i was thinking about something similar last night: that what we call "news" is obsolete. this narration of human-social-events. we have the tech to observe the world as it is, and if something interesting happens, save that.
like, the only important news is scientific discovery. read about an experiment that someone did and what was proved or disproved or gained by that experiment. watch a video of the experiment, look at the data, whatever.
idk, there is an ideal state of affairs that i'm thinking of where "geopolitics" isn't really a thing, because we no longer find the concept of a "country" useful, because we've established an optimal method of resource allocation and distribution. but that would only really happen once everyone becomes enlightened i guess.

Insisting the world is this simple and black and white and algorithmic won't make it so.
We reduced poverty. This has:

>reduced hunger, but not eliminated it

>potentially exacerbated homelessness, as the income/wealth floor for maintaining a household is now higher, globally

Additionally:

>there are more slaves in the world today than at any other point in history

>some of the worst genocides in history are within living memory

All of the above is the result of Western cultural and logistical immaturity in the face of its industrial over-development. E.g., notice how a major global shipping lane is currently inaccessible due to war (a war ultimately cause by Western meddling in the region). It should also be noted that we're in the middle of a mass extinction driven by this same dynamic.

Any positive assessment of the West's sophistication and development has to be tempered or even nullified by the reality that its efforts have served to worsen, let alone ameliorate, basic measures of civilizational quality. An extreme analogy, using fiction: I refuse to call the civs in universes like WH40K, Dune, etc. "sophisticated and developed", because they've simply transposed and magnified age-old failings and atrocities onto a cosmic scale. True sophistication and development may eschew technological complexity, if complexity is instead in the systems and processes that support self-actualization in the population.

To go back to the original point: if the introduction of indoor plumbing and the extension of civil rights in America had been switched chronologically, we'd be much better off as a society. If landing on the moon and the acceptance and election of a female president had been switched, ditto. So, yes, it's shameful.

I just had to tip my cap. I worked as an imaging clerk for Copart Auto Auctions about 18-years ago. My job was more about putting the images on the website (and ordering new photos if they weren’t to-spec, or if there was visible gore—it being an insurance auction), but I have an intimate awareness of your experience. It was an interesting, if poorly paid, job experience.
It is totally subjective.

1. It only matters to people who are used to 4K or are equipped with a 4K TV. If you don't own such screen, which a lot of people still do, it doesn't matter. You don't miss what you have never experienced.

2. When using a beamer, outright resolution is less important because the image is smoothed out. Relative to the size of my wall I don't feel like I lose detail or enjoyment on my own beamer at home than when I watch same movie in a real cinema theater. What I do miss is usually more the experience: going out, meeting friends in a neutral place and anticipate with them the screening, smelling the popcorn from the theater entrance, going out for lunch after the screening, etc. The outright resolution? couldn't care less.
Hey, more power to you. The good news is that after the DMA rolls out, Apple doesn't have to stop offering any of that. You can keep using it until Apple stops providing the function, same as you would have without the DMA.

I'm glad we have passionate Apple enthusiasts helping us prove how harmless market regulation actually is.

Fascinating:

> The first thing that struck me was an absolutely rock-solid commitment to gaining the trust of the customer, the employees, the suppliers and business partners. Almost every rule or method or procedure of the company was built around ensuring that. To be frank, I hadn’t seen something like that before.

Yes, looking after your customers is a standard prerequisite for a good retail company, so that wasn’t so different or difficult to understand. But really looking after your employees, that was something new to me. For example, having a mantra that says, let’s pay our people as much as we possibly can. I had been involved in the complete opposite before. What do we need to pay; don’t pay a cent more, would probably be the mantra of most of the other business conversations that I had been involved in.

Oh there still are good journalists around. People just don't care enough about quality journalism that they'd spend a few bucks on it a month when there's crappy free journalism.

If "ipfs" can be added as a remote, and it automatically pulls from thousands of different devices without having to specify them, that's a pretty big win for redundancy right?

If you insist: SEO-driven AI blather is the antithesis of meaningful discourse. Its very existence impedes efforts to search for better material. This is a blight upon the world.

The problem is that app vendors will no longer be forced to use it. That seriously hurts my sense of security as a user of the platform - the very thing why I chose it.
And how are you supposed to digest it ? Journalists are here to provide the context of the event, the background. They also so the job of checking the sources. We are not machine, from the log "2 planes crashed on the 9/11 of 2001", we would have to search ourselves all the things surrounding it, probably missing a lot on the way because we all have our day job and have other things to do.

Journalists are biased though, like any human, but I don't see how it can be fixed. Even an AI digesting the events will have some bias, though it might be aware of much more things than a simple humain brain.

Sorry. Your Car Will Never Drive You Around [video]
Hahaha - what a BS argument!

And if I have a MacBook, for instance, do I have a choice in downloading the app from the iPad store or the iPhone store? No, there’s just one for my device!

And do I have a choice to use a non Apple App Store? No!

So while there might be multiple stores for Apple, there’s only one for my device from Apple

It’s like arguing that any monopoly isn’t actually a monopoly because the company has multiple physical locations. But the consumer has one choice, constrained by geography

I’m no lawyer but this is clearly a Hail Mary, perhaps suggested by some law firm to get a little more money out of Apple
Its 100% due to ad tech.

When the metric becomes the target, nothing else matters.

The entire modern ad industry was built on false metrics and measures.

Attention is the currency of media. When sensationalism is not only acceptable, it's profitable, all boundaries are lost.

The entire news media has been perverted by the metrics and the measurements used in modern advertising and media. It's all about attention, measured to the individual and paid accordingly. No standards, no oversight, no limit.
SpaceX is a great example too. Literally the world is throwing so much money at the problem, and they're still a decade behind at least. Waymo is another example, remember when Uber tried to get into self-driving? Very few heavily capitalized players can even attempt to try to catch up to these guys in a decade.
Somewhat related fun fact: if you send the Google search home page an unknown UA string (e.g. curl/8.5.0) from a German-speaking country, Google will serve a latin-1 encoded page declared as UTF-8 in a meta tag. (I spent quite a while trying to fix this on my end before realizing what was going on.)
Your first paragraph makes perfect sense! I was nodding along. But then your concluding sentence was a bit of a record scratch for me. This all worked as intended! You knew what the project was about - "data frames" - and what might make it attractive to you - the performance claims - and then you went and followed exactly the right path to get the context you needed to understand what's going on with it. It's a big topic that you were able to spin up on to a basic level in 2-3 hours, by pulling on strings starting at this landing page. This is a very successful outcome.

I'd also recommend this book: https://wesmckinney.com/book/. It's not about polars, but you'd be able to transfer its ideas to polars easily once you read it.
"It takes weeks to get simple packages working"

Can you expand on what you mean by that? I have trouble imagining a Python packaging problem that takes weeks to resolve - I'd expect them to either be resolvable in relatively short order or for them to prove effectively impossible such that people give up.
And burying the lede:

secondary details instead.

or "one weird thing"
We need both. The deep analysis that news is supposed to provide is an important service. Some things are important for reasons the reader does not necessarily understand, and providing it only in bite-sized form is not good enough.

Sometimes things need to be explained. Now, long-winded magazine articles that exist for the writer to show off the virtuosity of their prose? That's niche for people who enjoy those things.

But otherwise raw brute-force data encourages raw brute-force policy.

For example, data point of prevailing home prices indicates a problem - that housing has gotten very expensive. Dumb brute-force policy = price caps. Analysis explains that houses are expensive because of supply and demand and the supply has plummeted while demand is rising, and that price caps would make that worse. Where does that connection live in your event-log?

I’m not assuming the AI works at all. Maybe we are talking about different things?

If the flight is over, and some analysis spits out a bunch of garbage, how does that hurt anyone? Nobody is going to tell pilots that they should stop using the word ‘and’ even if the AI spits that out as a possible point of improvement.
As a rule, I don't buy unfinished games (even from indie devs, sorry), but I promise you I will be buying this as soon as it's complete!
> people tend to think they are informed about a story even when they just read the headline alone

Well, when the headline is "Lost hiker found using Apple Watch" or "Airline grounds fleet due to loose bolts" or "potential presidential candidate says something that sounds stupid" or "AMD says their new chips are faster than last year's chips", then I don't really need to read anything further to know the gist of the story, do I?

You're complaining about superhuman cheaters. Again, that's something that can be easily prevented.

And if the cheaters can't play any better than the top human players, there's no harm done. At that point it doesn't matter if it's a cheater that's breaking your streak or a top human player that's doing the same.
> There were no noticeable performance improvements in the course of the last two years.

In fairness, Python did get faster. Python 3.9 took 82 seconds for sudoku solving and 62 seconds for interval query. Python 3.11 took 53 and 43 seconds, respectively [1]. v3.12 may be better. That said, whether the speedup is noticeable can be subjective. 10x vs 15x slower than v8 may not make much difference mentally.

We need to go back to the regulated news model. I.e. when independent news organizations were mandated for broadcast channels.

Dry facts.

Balanced commentary.

They're doing it wrong if it's not boring, because it shouldn't be playing your emotions.

If the for-profit sector wants to continue to air partisan-pro-wrestling-masquerading-as-news... fine. But the average viewer/reader needs to have an easily accessible and comprehensive alternative.

Most countries have some form of this, but it needs to be recognized as a critical democratic institution in a post-gen-AI world, and funded as such.
A lot of words to say pretty much nothing. I wonder whether this comes from laziness or just wanting the reader to fill the gap themselves with whatever sounds dark and dramatic in their heads.

> Turns out there are pretty fundamental reasons why "3rd world" is "3rd world", and it's not a magic piece of land that turns anyone on it into "1st world".

Right. What does “1st world” mean according to you? Because its commonly accepted meaning pretty much is “people in a couple of specific countries”. If you use the phrase as a proxy for “developed”, then duh. Of course 2nd or 3rd world countries can develop as well. The fact that the US will be overtaken at some point is something commonly accepted by people at least familiar with History.

> The data science revolution is not only falsifying decades of social sciences (replication crisis), but exposing some very harsh truths that are still too inconvenient to deal with it.

Right. Such as? Can you name say 3 harsh truths hidden by social studies and exposed by data science? How are they “inconvenient to deal with”?

> How humanity deals with the facts of DNA is the question of the next millenium.

What are “the facts of DNA”? Is this some kind of dog whistle?

> Personally my bet is on a new dark age as we depopulate.

How can that be a consequence of how we deal with “facts of the DNA”?
Surely this is the job for a linter or code generator (or perhaps even a hypothetical ‘checked’ mode in the interpreter itself)? Ain’t nobody got time to add manual type checks to every single function.

The current title ("News could end up as Art important to few elites marginal to the rest") is difficult to parse. An improvement would be "News could end up like Art, important to few elites, marginal to the rest".
I'm curious how this is different than the past? World news, in particular, has always been of very marginal value to most folks.

Indeed, with the level of understanding and agency that most of us have, I'm struggling to see what an alternative would be.
> And if I have a MacBook, for instance, do I have a choice in downloading the app from the MacBook store or the iPhone store? No, there’s one for my device!

If it's an Apple Silicon MacBook, yes.

It's actually the same App Store application but it can be used to download mobile apps. I think in this case the line being drawn at what frontend is used to interact with the stores is splitting hairs.

I agree with the rest of your arguments.
I have family that live in SF proper. I remember talking with them about the demeanor of BART's riders a few years back. They had mentioned that they had to move cars earlier that day because someone was smoking a very large joint and it was fouling the air in their car quite badly. They concluded the anecdote with something along the lines of " you know, it's just like every other metro system, nothing you can really do". I was like, no way. No other metro system is like that. I literally know of no other metro system where people are smoking in the cars, let alone pot, let alone to the point where the air is foul, let alone that you just think that's a normal thing, let alone that they aren't thrown off the car by law enforcement, let alone by the other passengers. My family members thought I was joking, that this kind of thing must happen all the time in nearly every other metro system, at least a once a day occurrence. The disconnect was just flabbergasting to me.
