It may be a product if one can find a way to effectively integrate content from across different platforms. Which means it has to be off any of the platforms.

There is definitely something here.
I was thinking about this the other day, from the frame of reference of a middle-upper class person 30-40 years ago. At their time, tech was at its peak. Life was the greatest it could possibly be! And yet with so many problems, conflicts, economic difficulties, and ordinary life stressors.

We feel the same today as they felt then. We just have better toys and different problems. Some problems might be more existential (e.g. climate change), but day-to-day is it so different? In material terms yes, in personal terms not so much.

The human condition is far slower to change than the world it inhabits.
Who is adopting it?
It runs apps on its own. So many things you might want to do on an iPad could run just on the Vision Pro itself. While I can't live without a full computer, a lot of people are happy with an iPad only. Many of those might also be happy just with a Vision Pro.
I recall a panic about us running out of helium a few years ago followed by abrupt silence as the increased cost of helium led to more helium being salvaged from natural gas extraction. It's one of those rare cases where you can literally point at a moment in time and see a textbook example of "the market" in action.

I also recall that then too there were articles about how us foolish consumers were wasting this non-renewable good on party balloons while the actual amount of helium used to fill party balloons is less than a rounding error compared to how much helium industry needs and uses (which in turn is nothing compared to how much uncaptured helium is lost during natural gas extraction).
that's propagated to the rest of the world lol

Greek myth has Hephaestus (Vulcan to the Romans) making a bunch of robots. Talos was a giant humanoid guardian of Crete made of bronze. I can't remember the names of his forge workers, but there were two of them and they worked with him pumping bellows and hammering metal.
I even went past the essays and they started giving me IQ tests, which tested nothing but reaction time and memory.
Yes, though it's not a great market. Usage tends to be low (they sit in a drawer) so there's not much follow-on app store revenue, and developers don't target your platform.

"Developers! stomp Developers! stomp Developers!" is actually great wisdom.

For a new OS, would it be good to circumvent this with a rudimentary runtime type system managed by the kernel? It would probably cost a bit of memory and performance overhead on syscalls, and eat up the syscall space. It could be reflected in the standard OS types in programming languages.

I went to read Ted Gioia’s original piece to try to figure out why he thought his new computer was a downgrade, but he doesn’t say. There was a period in the 90s where Windows machines were increasingly cheap and loaded with crapware, but otherwise my computers continue to get better and better. I agree Google and social media has gotten worse, but I don’t see a larger trend here. I’ll happily trade any of 90s (or 2010 for that matter) cars, computers, phones, cameras, dentist visits, TVs, video games, etc. etc. for the author’s new “downgrade.”
Can anyone name one thing of value this dude has actually done in his time in charge.

Feel in a few years he's gonna have a worse reputation than Ballmer in terms of squandering potential.
The solution to that problem is a merge queue and GitHub supports that now. I do agree that it would be nice if the VCS solved the problem natively, but for many companies GitHub — and not git — is their VCS.
The only things I've been denied as an EU citizen on the web so far have been US local news websites. And tbh I assume that is just one company that has a blanken policy of sorts. So I don't think "often" is accurate here.
Yes, but my original point was the IEEE came up with these things (OFDMA, MU-MIMO, fronthaul MIMO, GI modulation) when they were given the opportunity to focus on optimization instead of speed. I am saying it would be nice if they would continue to do this instead of QAM++.

The other solutions are right in that you'd need some high power transmission to be practical

but

if you harness solar power during the day and use battery power at night, you could drive some, but not many, bulbs. More photovoltaics and parallel batteries would be needed to scale. But, it would be able to amplify the RF signal and effectively drive the bulbs by radio. I would recommend driving a near-field radio and not off of WiFi if you're going for any aesthetic effect. You could even drive it with the ambient audio (there are some integrated devices already like this, but wired).
Yes, it's absolutely amazing. Somehow the combination of the soft voice, the serious nature of the alarm and the noise and distortion.

It's also not actually super-easy to switch later.
No we don't need it yet. Wifi7 is approaching if not endgame wifi though because it combines all frequencies into one endpoint. That's really nice.

But I am in need of a new router-switch-AP so I'm going for it this year. I'm still on 802.11AC, and ethernet to my desk as always.
What does Google even do anymore? I can't think of any innovation they've made in the past five years or so? Anyone?
I just left a train, commited several changes to several repos and didn‘t have connecivity. Nope, i dont‘t want this.
That's the difference between a golden age and a silver age.

The golden age has wide open frontiers, low barriers to entry, and low hanging fruit.

The silver age is more closed off but also achieves greater sophistication.
I consider this would work best with a great local tone mapping algorithm and only sharing the HDR image (JPEG XL), then viewing it on SDR with a great local tone mapping algorithm. That would reduce the data size to transmit and give more guarantees that two people downloading the same file will see the same content.
I'm not annoyed at these things because as I have gotten older, I've realized that society has become fiercely anti-child in the west. You get nasty looks if your infant cries virtually anywhere in public other than a hospital. Again, you get nasty looks if your child acts up anywhere. There are no "safe spaces" for parents of young children other than schools and playgrounds, we've ostracized them very effectively in our current culture.

Thus, when I hear a babbling babe, I smile and move on. We're going to have a Japanese population pyramid situation if we keep discouraging parenthood and punishing child-rearing. There are virtually no societal or financial benefits to doing so these days, its a total sacrifice of self.
The Java ecosystems initially started with optimizing Java compilers. That setup could benefit from direct hardware support for Java bytecode. Later, it was discovered that it is more beneficial to remove the optimization from javac in order to provide more context to the JIT compiler. Which enables better optimizations from JIT compilers. By directly running Java bytecode, you would loose so many optimizations done by Hotspot, that it is hard to get on par just by interpreting bytecode in hardware. The story may be different for restricted JVMs that don't have a sophisticated JIT.
This is about a change that was made to the game after it's release, so presumably OP already paid for it. They are simply taking back the thing they already paid for. If Capcom doesn't like that, then maybe they shouldn't be pulling stupid pointless shit like this.

I swear, it's like some giant corporations actively detest their customers.
If that’s what it takes to get them compliant with EU’s GDPR, shouldn’t the same apply to youtube and gmail? Or the rest of google services, for that matter?
I'm interested in science so am only interested in robots which are demonstrably far more appropriate for the work: the evidence is pretty clear from Voyager to Webb to Ingenuity and so on.

If we want to colonize far away planets, much less other solar systems and ultimately galaxies, why send a human when a robot is far more appropriate to the problem?

Most of the science humans do in orbit is about keeping humans alive in orbit. Important, if you think putting humans in space is important. I don't, apart from tourism and other recreation. Let the private sector pay for that while government research can do the important stuff of value to all humanity.

> Literally a book can be written in a day, published electronically the same day and published overnight.

Hard disagree. Nothing good can possibly be written that fast, even with an army of writers.

>Surely the term should be going down, not up.

IP today is far more expensive than in the past, so going down is not reasonable. 3 years as you suggested is laughable. Some books don't even hit multiple markets in that time. Would any publisher pay an author if they could just wait the author out for 3 years???

>You get your choice of copyright as we have today XOR non-discriminatory non-DRM distribution.

This sentence doesn't make sense. Nor does the idea. What is the point of having any right if your only enforcement mechanism is one that literally loses you money? There would be no party for consumer-grade IP that would be a suitable target for a lawsuit. Maybe a publisher might be able to raise a case against a solitary infringer, because they own enough individual IPs to add up to something against another business. But the people actually consuming IP could never be sued this way.

I actually hate DRM and avoid it. But it solves a real problem and I can't deny that.

>Copyright is not automatic. You have to publish the work to the Library of Congress and the publication fee is $1000 for one year. You can extend as long as you like but each additional year costs 10x what the previous year cost (pick your favorite exponential values)

This has to be a joke. Have you heard the term "starving artist"? Do you realize that some copyrighted work (such as code) is constantly being updated, so it would be overwhelmingly stupid to have such a policy? Then there are news reports and blogs, etc., which cannot possibly be registered fast enough, and also would not necessarily generate $1000 a piece.
I haven't tried it myself, but when I was considering trying Spelunky 2 co-op I ran into this thread which suggests which version of the game works best in co-op and how to make Steam download it https://steamcommunity.com/app/418530/discussions/3/38016519...

I assume you could look up the manifests in steamdb and manually rollback in any game? Monster Hunter Rise at least shows what I think are past versions https://steamdb.info/depot/1446781/manifests/

That said, presumably the older version is covered by the older DRM which may cease to work.
If you don't want to deal with cookie banners, there are browser extensions you can install to automatically accept them.

An interesting Catch-22 situation most of us find ourselves in.
Humans are bad at statistics. For example the incident at three mile island in 1979 didn't kill anyone, but the accident crystallized anti-nuclear safety concerns among activists and the general public, and accelerated the decline of efforts to build new reactors.
You might want to take off your foil hat. I am also very curious on you breaking down your claims as they don't make any sense on money spent and what happened. Regardless it seems like you had a bad experience (like others do - all around the world in every medical system) and that sucks. We can definitely do better

Woah, what's the replacement cost for that panel - probably not far off the entire car.

Modern electronics and 'smart' features etc are just a way to obsolete products that much quicker.
Has anyone else read the story of the astronaut onboard ISS who lost it (if I recall it was over a romantic interest) and destroyed the toilet and drilled a hole in the space station?
In so far as data is used to qualify politicians and support agendas, this argument is nothing more than a thought-terminating cliche. Data is so abused and any statistician or quantitative person can tell you how hard it is to collect quality data and support a conclusion with certainty without fooling yourself. And that's assuming good intent, the malicious/self-interested case is totally in play here, especially with regards to unemployment.

I've always been confused on when they do and don't break it into pages. If I go to the article now, it's all in one long page, but under certain circumstances, like if I view the comments then go back up, it's in pages.

You’ve missed something in this instance because you’re surely not a follower of rumors and news about Apple. Ming-Chi Kuo is not some random blogger but a financial analyst with reliable and deep connections within Apple’s supply chain. He has a great track record of announcing what Apple is up to (hardware wise) and its plans for the future. MacRumors has a dedicated category for news related to or announced by him. [1] AppleInsider also publishes his predictions and analysis. [2]

If there are a few people on this entire planet who can be relied on (mostly, since nobody can be right all the time) to publish trustworthy predictions of Apple’s plans and products, it would be Ming-Chi Kuo, Mark Gurman (Bloomberg) and Ross Young (he specializes on the display side of things).

I'm a big fan of having energy monitors like this. I installed one (different brand) on a subpanel recently to monitor usage in my garage/shop, but honestly now I'm thinking about doing everything with them (can't just do one at only at the main panel, no one makes a reasonable 400amp mains setup i've found).

I went with an Emporia Vue. each one can do 16 circuit monitors, you can nest multiple together in their app/platform, and if you want to abandon hosted stuff there's an open source community out there that supports their hardware for now. The price is also better than most of the others I cross-shopped.

I think we spend a lot more time now, on average, struggling through higher levels of Maslow's hierarchy. I think this will accelerate: much of the struggles of my children will be primarily about self-actualization and finding meaning in life. Parents today are worrying abou 'the last war' in many ways, like how are they going to afford college or pay the mortgage, when the real challenge for children in a world of AGI will be purpose and meaning - something parents have largely not had to think too hard about comparatively, since much meaning in life can come from the succeeding over the struggle to simply get by.
I'm not sure about the cost, but I remember that for some medical aplication there are some protons rays to neutron rays "converters". (IIRC it's a target of berilium that absorbs the proton, splits, and release a neutron. IIRC) They are easy to turn off inmediately. (IIRC)

Yeah, delivering on expectations for your current level is a given requirement. That's very different from "up or out."
This brings up an interesting consideration. Is it possible that in the age of solar, power grids are simply uneconomical in areas of insufficient density? That people in more rural areas would be better off not having a grid and just installing rooftop solar and batteries instead? My gut tells me that the added reliably of a grid is probably worth paying 3x the price, but its hard to be sure.

Planes can fly with the rudder inoperable, although with some restrictions -- you wouldn't want to do a serious crosswind landing, and you wouldn't want to stack it up with other failures, especially asymmetric engine failures.

However, that doesn't mean that planes can fly with the rudder /loose/. A significant risk in higher-speed airplane designs is that of aerodynamic flutter, where aerodynamic forces excite a vibration mode in the airframe, or a subset of it. You can find some impressive video of e.g. bending modes in sailplane wings being excited, with increasing magnitude bending until the wings are destroyed (or the excitation is reduced dramatically, or shifted to a different frequency). While aeroelastic modes get a lot of attention in flutter analysis, loose control surfaces can be much, much worse, because movement of the surface within the lash provided by the loose connections is effectively undamped.
You can run AAA games on any apple silicon, and the perf is usually superior to anything else on the market except specialized gaming PCs. The real issue is that there is a small selection compared to xbox/ps/pc.

The internet existed in material form before the internet. All the early internet did was make physical locations available non-physically, at first.

Once the connection was made (networked) all else unfolded because of now (digital space). What replaced much of the 'connected world' before the internet remained - telephones, newspapers, photography, wires, etc. The advantage over all else wasn't just connectivity; it was a reduction in the time allotted in transmitting that information.

From there we realized that we created access to the non-material world whilst remaining firmly planted in reality - transferring much of that material connection into digital connection.

What followed isn't fundamentally abstract at all - 1975-1985, '85-'95, '95-'03, '03-'09, '09-'17 and our current period, are all iterations of the same technology being recreated in faster, larger, more accessible ways.

However, we humans haven't changed. We haven't evolved in the same time line that technology has. Not that we could or should, but rather we're evolving at a much slower rate that we push technology and in my humble opinion exacerbates the rigid dualities of life changing technologies.

We must embrace new ideology in our philosophic approach to technology if we intend to mature new technologies as part of our own evolution.

That is, if we truly care about how technology like the internet can and has changed human life.

Moltex gets a lot less interest than I think it deserves. There is a grassroots movement to develop MSRs that started out with an interest in fluoride salt reactors breeding U233 from Th232. I saw people look at many configurations but the one that Moltex has developed using chloride salts and breeding Pu239 from U238 seems to solve most of the practical problems.

Ordinary fast reactors can, in principle, consume all the transuranics they produce and leave waste that is less radioactive than the original fuel in 1000 years. In principle the neutron economy of a fast MSR can be so good that you can put back all the most problematic elements like Cesium and Iodine and end up with waste that is mostly decayed in 100 years.
