Because a monitor only displays what's on it. A vision headset can show you different content depending on where you're looking.

It's kind of like comparing a monitor that's locked to a single app with a monitor that has multiple spaces you can switch between. They both have the same resolution, but one of them can display much more stuff.
Those are two parts of the same problem. If a company is doing layoffs and refusing to hire more who is going to take on the work burden? Obviously existing employees.
Because Apple is selling this for $3500, the Q4 will be $1500.
The source ISOs aren't a convenient bundle though. Nobody uses them; everyone uses Ubuntu's sources that are published online instead, including all historical versions. Like: what build would you be trying to reproduce, anyway? The original build published with a release, or the build that you are actually using that includes recent security updates?
> It's so hard to find real problems if you spend 90% of your time finding problems.

> Having a job is a great fix.

My experience differs: it is very easy to find real problems, and it is possible to implement a decent solution for at least some of them. But: many of the problems that various industries have are in my opinion self-inflicted because of their structures. What is hard is convincing potential customers that your solution would help them.
> The benefits of the current system are enormous, incomprehensibly enormous.

Sure. What are the drawbacks? Where are the opportunities for improvement?

Also, you provided a list of things we enjoy today that you're presumably attributing to capitalism. But clean water and roads are usually provided by governments, and electricity and garbage collection (in the US) are generally in a weird liminal space where it's usually corporations but they're heavily regulated (and there's usually some political corruption at the interface between the corporations and the regulators). Our modern food distribution system is a marvel, but it depends on the exploitation of a poorly paid underclass of often undocumented migrant workers to do much of the farm labor. And video games are nice, although some corporations are trying to turn video games into weird casinos (see: lootboxes).

Claiming that the status quo is great and critics are being merely self-interested is deliberately turning a blind eye to the many drawbacks, flaws, and areas that can be improved with the current system. "We have clean water now; DO YOU HATE CLEAN WATER?!" is a disingenuous, bad faith argument. It's the "We should improve society somewhat" comic.
I have the 15 Pro, and I don't think it's worth it. There's dual camera sensors, but they're extremely close, and the depth effect only works when recording up close. I've taken a few videos of my kid, but I can't watch them.

There are converters from the iPhone's depth format [MV-HEVC](http://www.hevc.info/mvhevc) to stuff that can run on Quest devices, but they don't seem to be that great. (You need to have it in a different format like Side By Side, or SBS.)

As the other commenter said, better to wait.
I hadn't thought about airplane travel before. The idea of "escaping" the inside of a plane for a few hours on a long flight sounds very appealing.

I feel the slightest turbulences could lead to instant nausea (or worse) though.
Same. My "team" is doubling in size, but all the hires are international.
I think you are missing the point. Certainly a parent has a moral obligation to work to build candor, trust, and communication. However, depending on the circumstances that effort may not be fully successful; which is why it might be useful to also have additional systems in place such as regulation on what media providers can provide to children.

In other words, my objection is not to your assertion that parents should work to develop trusting and respectful relationships with their children. Nor do I disagree that such relationships would go a long ways towards addressing media consumption. My disagreement is with the idea that it is always possible to be completely successful.
No, it's not the same as 3D. They are 6DOF videos, essentially, so you can change perspective.
> The basic problem is that LTE base stations assign time slots to devices when to access the spectrum - that doesn’t work well when by regulation you need to play nice with other technology on the same band

Is there good source to read more on this? Based on quick Wikipedia reading, Wifi traditionally (and including this 802.11ah) uses OFDM in sort of TDMA arrangement, which also includes AP assigning time-slots to stations if I understand it correctly (which I very much might not). LTE is based on OFDMA/SCFDMA which (again afaik) are just further refinements on the concept, but similarly rely on allocating resources (time-slots on sub-carriers). And later Wifi standards have also started to use OFDMA. So on surface-level its not super clear what here makes Wifi more suitable for unlicensed use... something maybe on how those time-slots are allocated, but its difficult to compare the two especially when they use somewhat confusingly (for an outsider) different terminology.
To me it looks like tech is just falling more in line with other industries pay/workload. I think there are many who joined the tech workforce during the pandemic thinking the norm was to make $135k while doing 10 hours of real work a week from home, twiddling a few lines of bootcamp level javascript to appease your largely absent boss.

Many may forget, or not have been there, but 10-15 years ago tech jobs were notorious for ridiculous workloads/long hours. The pay was just decent too. Not jaw dropping like today.

This seems deeply flawed. How did the hypothesis forming the basis of the experiment get formed in the first place if there was "no evidence"?

An analysis of compounds in DNA finds that there are, within a small margin of error, identical quantities of adenine and thymine, and identical quantities of guanine and cytosine. You have not yet been able to experimentally verify your hypothesis of a base pair rule. It is nevertheless not true to say there is "no evidence" of a base pair rule.

Sufficient evidence to form a reasonable hypothesis, but insufficient evidence to elevate your hypothesis to a theory, is still some evidence, and it is a lie to say otherwise.
There are lot more strip mall opticians than there are expert craftspeople of lenses. Apple's lenses will be fine... probably much better than fine.
On Forth, anyone know how Chuck is doing these days? I haven't seen anything from him in almost a decade.
Yes, but I would be interested in the gross income of IT vs other occupations and how that is impacting overall economy.

For example, if you drop 2 IT jobs, but each one is 150k, but you create 4x 60k jobs, it looks like you added 2 jobs, but in reality, you removed 60k worth of payroll income.
Forth is super cool for embedded work. The normal dev cycle of build, burn, not work, tweak, build, burn, repeat is quite slow and annoying. It was kind of revolutionary for me to discover Mecrisp[0], which demonstrates how can provide a (fast!) language that also provides a friggin' repl into your hardware.

The ##forth IRC channel on Libera is quite active. Would recommend popping in for anyone interested. The two projects that got me interested in Forth are

1. JonesForth: http://git.annexia.org/?p=jonesforth.git;a=blob;f=jonesforth...

Explanation and motivation for the What and Why of Forth and its implementation. Well, actually, it's actually an implementation in x86 assembly, but the comments are a wonderful exposition and intro into Forth.

2. SmithForth: https://dacvs.neocities.org/SF/

Implementation of Forth in x86-64 opcodes. It's a hand-written ELF that implements a Forth. It's simplicity is absolutely beautiful.

SmithForth is what pushed me over the edge to really start learning x86 assembly and Forth. I started by hand-decompiling the SmithForth binary, which was quite an adventure on its own.

Last time I got a speeding ticket, it was considerably less than 2% of my gross salary. The basic idea so is the same, the amount of the fine is up for discussion so.

Case in point: income based speeding tickets in Scandinavia vs. fixed amounts elsewhere (I favor the former, as things stand I don't care about the, for me, negligible amounts for 10 km/h speeding every once in a while, which is rather unfair, as I know a lot of people who cannot ignore the existing speeding fines in Germany).

Edit: Regarding corporate fines, authorities should be a lot more aggressive claiming those. E.g. payable immediately after first trial, put in escrow until appeal. And change accointing laws so the fine in escrow cannot be shown in cash balances and has to be taken into account for profit and loss.
If the opinion from old guy matters - 2021 and 2022 weren't great, these were insane and it wasn't sustainable. And it's completely normal that hangover after such years feels horrible.
Not exactly. RHEL is a point in time snapshot of CentOS Stream. There's no longer exact ABI parity between CentOS and RHEL like there used to be in the past.

I'm not exactly sure what your question is.

Do you mean how am I showing a different behaviour to despair and disinterest?

Firstly, just because I think we should not be doing one thing, doesn't mean I am doing the other thing perfectly. I am as human as the next person.

I'm not massively engaged with politics, climate change, etc, but I have a family and daughter. Caring about people, especially younger people, is a way that I don't write off the future. I also really enjoy wildlife and being outside, and support two different conservation charities. My wife supports a couple of different children's charities. It's not a lot (I'm not activist hero), but it's something.

Of course, if someone wanted to say that the above amounts to nothing, and I'm a hypocrite, then they are welcome to think as much.
I believe it. I work in the UX space, and I'd be shocked if total employment grew in 2023. I know lots of skilled designers who've been out of work for multiple months, and people in the UX research space are faring even worse.
>2021 and 2022 felt like great years in terms of the job market. 2023 felt horrible.

Well, we had people bragging about working 2, 3 or more remote jobs in 2021/2022, so I'm not sure that should be the expectations anchor. 2023 reversed some of that.

We're in a lull, no doubt. But there's still a lot happening.
I'm glad they explain that beyond 2-3 data points is the problem here. I'm working on an interface that will us a lot of pie charts, but they are all representing 2-3 distinct things.

The battery work-around to low power mains supply seems it could serve a niche. Magnetic knobs seem like a great idea, and the 10kW max power level seems intriguing - I'd like to know what extra capabilities that allows.

Otherwise, this thing looks like an expensive maintenance nightmare. Those lcd's will break. There's obviously firmware which will rot, and who knows if it's going to hang and start outputting 10KW while cooking your french omelette. Is the UI even usable, or a random cacophony of menus? The battery has a limited life, and will be taking some fairly punishing spikes, etc. I would be interested in some of these ideas in a more modular form.
Well, at least if you live in the EU, soon, you'll be able to sideload apps to your iPhone (and I think also iPad) and probably this law will require them to do it for the Vision (Pro).

Same. I work as an SWE at a non-FAANG, non-tech Fortune 100 company. We already had an IT staff in India and would hire consultants in India, but this has been accelerating over the past year - virtually all hires or new consulting contracts have been in India. Some of the SWEs in the US are even being put under PMs in India.
I guess „downloading“ was a Freudian slip here… ;)
I'd love to get put of IT, but there's nothing else that I can really switch to. Other good paying jobs have a high barrier to entry, terrible hours, etc.
I'm not very excited about the product itself, but if you are at all interested in spatial computing, it's worth reading through Apple's design and developer resources:

Designing for visionOS - https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guideline...

Inputs: Eyes - https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guideline...

Principles of spatial design - https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10072/

Create accessible spatial experiences - https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10034/

While I don't think there will be a mass adoption by people willing to put on goggles throughout the day, it's clear that a lot of Apple's ecosystem is being directed toward environmental and situational computing, and the SDK backs that up. Using gaze detection to focus on more than one device in a room, surfacing certain interactions in specific rooms, and low-lag screen mirroring from devices are all pretty high-cost investments that are likely to find uses in other products. I look forward to what kinds of "continuity" type features this tech introduces.
There’s also Channing Street Copper which has an oven as well: https://www.channingcopper.com/ - same concept with built-in battery.

I’d love to see this idea applied to a tankless electric hot water heater.
So, the question needs asked: Do you need cloudshit to use this?

We bought a stove that has this embedded cloudshit that wont let you use the whole oven for its intended purpose. And no way in hell I'm hooking it to a network.

> 20+ years of experience

Welcome to my world.

In-company recruiters are often quite helpful and accommodating, but, as soon as one single tech person gets involved, the temperature drops 30 degrees.

Standalone recruiters send me these breathless emails, extolling my qualifications, but, as soon as they find out my age, they ghost me. I have actually had recruiters hang up on me, as soon as I told them my age. I learned to just mention that up front, to get the ghosting out of the way.

Apparently, they aren't very good at math. I list 30 years+ experience, yet they seem to think that I'm under 35.

After a while, I just gave up, and accepted that I'm retired.

It's not the money; it's the "culture." Many folks, much younger, and much more inexperienced, are paid more than I ever made, in my entire career. I would have gladly accepted less money than I had made before. I don't really need it. The work is what interests me.
>For example, if you drop 2 IT jobs, but each one is 150k, but you create 4x 60k jobs, it looks like you added 2 jobs, but in reality, you removed 60k worth of payroll income.

But the company saves 60k, so the net (to the economy) is the same.

I wonder how many pans this thing is gonna warp?

Also -- a display in the center of the stove? Seems... like a bad place for it.

I am happy to see competition in the space though and I hope more induction burners can get more accurate temp sensing and PID control

I recently bought a https://www.webstaurantstore.com/hatco-irng-pc1-18-rapide-cu...

instead of a control freak as it has a temp probe and I wanted to see how well it worked.

Haven't gotten around to seriously testing it yet but the plan is to mount their drop in 2 burner version in the counter if the probe works well.
Companies can (and do) report net losses while spending billions per year on stock buybacks and executive compensation. Revenue isn't some magic number for company health but profit isn't either.
I think there's a lot of confusion about what records are needed presumably due to lack of understanding of what the law requires for proof of ownership.

Generally the party asserting ownership has the burden of proof. The standard is "preponderance of the evidence", which generally is understood to mean "more likely than not" or "> 50%". So basically it means if you can prove to judge or jury that there's a >50% chance you own the work, it's good enough.

Also note that in many cases where there's a dispute over the evidence, witnesses are summoned to testify. So you might not have a "full notary log" of how it was produced or all the "intermediate artifacts", but as long as the artist is able to convincingly explain how the work was created, and the other party's lawyers are not able to poke holes in their story during cross evidence, that's usually enough.

Which is, basically, what happens today, if the authorship or ownership of a work is disputed.

That said, I'm not sure whether "assume work AI (thus uncopyrightable) unless proven otherwise" should be the default for other reasons. For one, most quality "AI art" needs some manual adjustments or touch ups, and arguably the prompt and hyperparameters may be sufficient creativity element. I mean, that's basically how copyrights dealt with photography (the mere fact you decided when and where to point the camera with what settings is sufficient for copyright to subsist in a photo).
With a real monitor, a 4K screen on your desk covers maybe 45 degrees of your horizontal field of view. And it's pixel perfect.

In VR, that 4K needs to cover over 100 degrees FOV. And any 'virtual monitor' content is being resampled and filtered, inevitably blurring/softening things.

I suspect that we're going to need a lot more than 4K resolution before you can comfortably work with small text (e.g. coding, web browsing) in VR.

Show HN: Many AI chatbots and image generation tools in one platform
Since ChatGPT came out, there have been a lot of AI chatbots and AI image generation tools coming out. Some may perform better than others in certain scenarios. Unfortunately they are each on their own platform, and requires separate registration (and subscription) for each of them, making it difficult to try them out.

To address that, I created https://chatbotsplace.com/, which integrates many AI chatbots and image generation tools on one single platform. You only need one account to use ChatGPT, Anthropic Claude, AI21 Labs, Llama 2, Google Gemini, DALL-E 2 & 3, Stable Diffusion XL, Google Imagegen, and Amazon Titan (new integrations being added frequently). I hope this will be useful to AI enthusiast to try out many tools more easily.

The press has had two chances to try it, at most. Both being guided demos by Apple.

No one has been free to just “try it out“. There may be reviewers who are doing that right now, but the articles are certainly behind a embargo.

That said I don’t remember anyone saying anything other than that they came away extremely impressed. Which is why I’m really curious too.
Yeah, like maybe instead of a desk with huge screens, you could just strap on the vision pro and work on that.
You're right, especially the water example. However, an induction cooktop with a working closed-loop temperature control system would be nice. The one I own has a temperature control and it's anyone's guess what it's thinking. The outcome of setting the temperature control is completely random. Also, since my cooktop works on an extremely coarse duty cycle control it goes full power for several seconds and then is off for several seconds, which isn't even slightly helpful. A cooktop with better electronics that can modulate the power at high frequency, and control the temperature, would be great.
