Visual inspection by the court, Sections 371-372a of the Code of Civil Procedure

This consists of any direct, sensory inspection by the judge for evidential purposes. Contrary to the somewhat misleading term used, ‘Augenschein’, ‘visual inspection’, it may also include sensory inspection by touching, smelling, listening and tasting. Consequently, sound and video recordings and data storage media are also included.
There was a legitimate issue - they needed a visible battery health indicator – but you’re right that it’s been substantially exaggerated. There’s a certain amount which is probably explained by “iOS versus Android” but I think most of it comes back to the tech press being funded by ad impressions: mention a top brand in a story like that and you’ll get a lot of clicks with very little effort.
Easy to measure, sure, but that's different than impact on performance. You're much more likely to get a bigger win from analyzing database schema, divide-and-conquering the workload, tuning the algorithms in the critical path, or even choosing _what_ gets cached. If tuning the cache eviction is the main thing it is probably because that's the only thing.

>Those displays enable the Vision Pro to eliminate something called the "screen-door effect."

Nothing beats the prior version (I think, v3) and almost every new person coming into Flash and has a website had to copy one. :-)
Yeah in past 20 years I would receive a job offer from nearly every company I interviewed with. Past few months have been really disappointing with rejections after interviews that I'd normally have said went great.
That is an iOS bug. No app should be able to do this.

So rather than reporting in the app you can report it in Feedback Assistant, if you want to.
I don’t understand the huge screens thing. The Vision Pro has 4k resolution (if I remember correctly). Most decent monitors have the same. Isn’t this basically the same as moving your existing monitor closer to your head to make it a huge monitor?
I hope that this is the big push needed to solve wireless displays. It feels like there are a lot of computing possibilities that open up when one device with a display can defer it's computing power to another device nearby wirelessly. Whether it's used for desktop->VR or phone->monitor or whatever.
This has reminded me of Grothendieck's idea of two styles in mathematics:

https://www.landsburg.com/grothendieck/mclarty1.pdf
It can run 2D apps, but it isn't limited to 2D. You can build 3D experiences that interact with the space you are in or fully enclosed 3D VR experiences.
>multiple monitors

so do I, haven't looked too deeply into Apple Vision honestly. My post was just conjecture on the most viable use case short term. there was an HN thread discussing it, seems like it would come down to how well Apple can do eye tracking to dynamically give higher resolution where you are looking - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37037563

for me it just comes down to being an ergonomic improvement over my laptop alone while traveling. If it can do that, I'd buy one and write it off as a business expense
In my opinion, this says more about poor education standards regarding critical thinking.

Yeah. It wouldn't be too bad in other cases that just uploaded Steamboat Willie as-is as a statement, but in this case Baker actually did his own parody dub, so it's especially egregious.
Personally, I'm excited for the productivity aspects of it. I think my main use case will probably be relaxing in my comfy chair with a macbook on my lap projected into a much larger screen with some other floating windows like documentation, youtube tutorials, etc. off to the sides. I currently don't have any extra screens for the macbook, so being able to utilize some native apps for stuff like that seems quite helpful!

That aside, I'd imagine I'll use it for watching movies and tv since I live alone currently and could enjoy the immersion without blocking other people out. I already have a PSVR 2 for gaming so I'm not too worried about the potential or lack thereof for games. One thing I'm going to try out though is game streaming services like Geforce Now. If I can play really high fidelity flat games using a M+KB / Controller on the headset that would be awesome!
Perfect! Now we just need "everyone" to align on a common understanding of the COVID "pandemic" and the Israel-Palestine "conflict" - so people can be calm enough to find common ground for resolution, rather than blindly believing, being indoctrinated into propaganda - from either side, to see the truth; why free speech is so important, and why it's always the bad actors who want to suppress truth under the guise of so-called "misinformation" being more harmful than a lack of free speech.
I was thinking this same thing the other day when reading a paper. Seems like a critical piece of information that is often left out.
From the accidental tech podcast accidental leaks from Vision Labs (you have to listen between the lines) you’re going to want much much more resolution than the 15 Pro does. Wait for the 16 or further, I’d say.
Knowing what will come and be available is also a valid use case. If you want to know about support every feature has links to MDN and caniuse, just check there. The web isn't as simple as comparing iOS/Android. For example Firefox on desktop isn't Firefox on Android and Firefox on iOS is just Safari. The web is a complex ecosystem.

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

I already addressed this in my first post. What’s more likely to make you think you need to upgrade—your phone shutting off all the time randomly, or just moving a little slower?

These were the technical choices given the degraded batteries in these phones. In my view, Apple made the choice that would be less noticeable to most people.

With that said, if you’re firmly in “planned obsolescence mode” I understand there’s not much I can say here to persuade you otherwise.
A ceramic would make a crappy wire. Being flexible is a useful feature for long distances. What you save in transmission loss ends up on maintenance of an expensive brittle material.

The incentive is that you can take your headset off and have a real face-to-face conversation with your coworkers. And when you want to go back and focus, you put the headset back on and are free of distractions.

The government as a monolith, probably? The government in specific departments, maybe?

I love Mixcloud (creator, heavy consumer, and pro subscriber). I never really understood the USP of SoundCloud, for mixes Mixcloud beats it hands down, for single tracks audio.com beats it all ends up despite being very beta. SoundCloud's USP seems to be "it's just about bearable to use in place of audio.com and mixcloud".
This topic reminds me of how dota does it. Which may be common but was the first time I had read about it. When you see “X% chance to happen” the true chance is much lower but increases with each miss. So on a shorter time frames where you’d be paying close attention to the frequency it’ll be correct. But you also are very unlikely to go a long time without it happening or have it happen many times in a row c
Pity that the same can't be said of modern Word files. My father asked me for help in converting a book he had written in Word to an EPUB. I opened it up in LibreOffice so that I could try to fix a few things like insert a proper ToC (he generated his by hand, and is constantly fiddling with the page numbers whenever he changes something). LO renders it well enough that I can see the intent, but there are formatting artifacts galore, and as soon as I start fiddling with anything, it seems like I've consigned it to a limbo state where it looks like crap in both LO and Word.

Regrettably, my personal devices are all Linux or Android only at this point, so, I lack a proper copy of Word to fix it for him.

Are you 2x as likely to become a paraplegic after a motor vehicle accident at 30mph as you are to die? That doesn't sound right.

> fewer people traveling

I don't think anyone says to themselves "it's a 20mph zone on the route so I'm not going, if it was 30 I would go." Lower speed limit != fewer travelers.

> less air population

Assuming you meant pollution, the same amount of cars going slower would cause more pollution in a given area, not less.

I'm sorry what? Most people don't meditate, and how is sitting in the car longer going to give you more time to meditate?

Everyone is talking about layoffs and lack of hiring, but I've found the problem to be that companies are cutting costs by silently increasing workload on existing employees. Everyone is getting burnt out trying to keep a 300-person engineering team running on only 100 head count. That leads to more incidents, slower delivery, less innovation, longer hours. Even those who are still employed are seeing working conditions deteriorating.

I couldn't care less about the product itself, because I'm only interested in VR, but I'm hopeful it will drive engagement towards AR/VR. Then, hopefully, other companies will throw more significant amount of money towards R&D in VR and the technology will improve.
The maximum on iOS is only 5 minutes, and I regularly leave my phone untouched for longer periods than that while cooking.

I hear your point, but everything really important on my phone is behind another wall of passwords/pin protection, and I am meticulous about backups. The physical device doesn’t matter much. I’ll put it on stolen mode remotely, force an email sign out, and just assume it’s dead because they won’t be able to turn off Find My.

I also work from home, so I’m more suited to having it in this mode of operation.

I just use the publication date.

Just looking at NSDI ‘23, I can see the first published paper in the Spring: https://www.usenix.org/conference/nsdi23/presentation/liu-ti...

Looking at the BibTex metadata can give you a better idea of how recent/relevant the paper is:

year = {2023},
…
month = apr

But since this is not yet published (to appear in 2024 of NSDI), I use a similar method you describe. Most of the time, can also infer from the paper itself (sometimes in the abstract or the discussion)

All instances combined of Lemmy is already small. If 99% of the traffic of the all instances combined come from 2-3 instances and all of it is run by terrible people then I don't really see how going somewhere that has a handful of active people is a solution. Honestly that particular federated experiment has failed which is fine. More will pop up.
> Well turns out the paper is from 2023 or newer, so that could explain why.

TFA and the paper both wonder why this extremely simple algorithm was not discovered sooner. Both posit that no paper should be prerequisite to applying this modification.

The question in TFA is less about the paper and more about the concept -- is there some reason why this has evaded us? Is it too good to be true?

The article does a better job than the paper digging in to the details IMO.
It’s so good though
CHEETAS isn't really developed in house though; it's mainly developed by Dell. Certainly the leadership is USG-associated, but I think the leadership is actually really good. Unfortunately I seem to be unable to get _real_ access to CHEETAS and finding anyone who has worked with it is a challenge.

I suspect underneath it's mostly Hadoop but it's impossible to separate the roadmap from the implementation without getting my hands on it.
You are right, but wrong.

For 99% of the price point people will pay for VR, it is still there.

...and will be for Apple Vision (non-pro) and Apple VisionSE.
> Where they do or don't have an office isn't that important: it's about who they're doing business with.

It's important because it frames the lawsuit. If the company has a large presence in the country and is employing thousands of high-earning tax payers and leasing expensive offices, then the governments are not likely to bring frivolous fines against the company for no reason. On the other hand, if the company is making money and not paying anything back into their economy, the government has nothing to lose by attempting to extort them.

> And it's really very simple: "obey the law or sod off". If you think that's too much bother then that's completely fair – no hard feelings. Just don't do business then.

It's completely arbitrary in a lot of these cases. India fining Google $161m for smartphone market dominance and demanding specific remedies like not installing Google Chrome, YouTube, and Google Maps? How the hell was Google supposed to anticipate that?

Almost all of these in the table are like this. France fining Microsoft $64m (!) because their advertising cookie opt-out flow was not deemed clear enough? It's not that the flow didn't exist, mind you, it's that the button wasn't on the same page as the "accept cookies" button. Where in French or EU law does that exact requirement exist?

I do not read German, but the literature is from 2008-2016 which does coincide with the peak of natural gas hysteria. Money might seem neutral but a big part of oil money has gone to lobbying, as was recently highlighted by Saudi oil fund leaks.

With that said you need to say more, we have been using heat pumps for decades and it is a great thing. The Nordics has cheaper electricity though. My point is it all depends.
Yeah, the high density displays are a big thing for me too. Also, the possibility of polished software that’s properly designed for the form factor (most AR/VR software that isn’t a game has felt kinda duct-tapey up until now).

I also think that compared to say the Quest Pro/3 it has more potential to be host to the first few apps that kick off the “iPhone moment” for AR. The capable hardware is certainly a factor here, but the bigger one is that it has a massive, enthusiastic dev base who can write apps for it on day one. Furthermore, those with iOS apps already can dip their toes in the platform by getting an AR-optimized app by doing little more than checking a tickbox in Xcode.

The main issue I have with the Vision Pro is that Apple learned with the iPad what to do and what not to do when it comes to their customers, chiefly to have an app store that you could not install software outside of. Had the Mac been invented today, it surely would follow the same model, and the Vision Pro is very likely to be following such a model.

If I can't use it to have my own applications, whatever they might be, that I don't want to put on the app store, like emulators, virtual desktops, or hell, even code editors, then what's the point (for consumers like me)?

Do you know how Apple wants you to run a code editor on Vision Pro? That's right, own a Mac and literally stream the video output to the Vision Pro, even though they literally contain the same Apple Silicon hardware (same as the iPad). How insane is that? I hope open competitors pop up where I can just run Windows or Linux (or even Android at this point) and install whatever apps I want.

Yes. I have been using the Windows Firewall Control (bought a license around v4.x)(before it was sold off and became free - and worse at v5) and have been using it in all my Win machines.

I play hard ball, use "allow" approach (block everything except Outlook, FF, and a few more apps). I have also used plenty of Win10 privacy tools and have cut all paths to MS. I use "WuMgr" and/or "WAU Manager" for some very few security updates.

And also regarding the Store, I have uninstalled all (if memory serves well) the "default/stock" modern/Win10 apps (I am using an older version of Calculator, the XP version of MS Paint, and so on). I've used SysInternals and killed all auto-tasks, most services, etc.

async trait macros are no longer needed for the majority of use cases as of 1.75. additionally, I doubt a hobby OS will hit bottlenecks where boxing like this is a problem. Async streaming not being standardized as an interface would only matter if the kernel wanted to use libraries, and I would assume most kernels will be light on external dependencies so it shouldn't matter.

If you are targeting a posix syscall interface, a lot of that doesn't really require async to pull off. You need to switch threads whenever an operation is blocked rather than run unrelated work on that thread. I suppose you can still model that with async, but it certainly doesn't feel as helpful.
Exactly, and it's gotten even worse lately.
