This is one of the more bizarre auto-editing of titles it does because of how pointless it feels.

Someone should take a page from "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" and create an AutoGPT "replicant" version of HN, including LLM versions of the moderators, PG, and the top commenters and submitters.
Apple makes $390B per year - which is about ~$1.06B per day.

So, yeah, $630m for one weekend is a lot.

Though, if you look at iPhone sales - Apple sold 13M iPhone 6s in the first week - and in 2 years sold about 200M - meaning about ~6.5% of sales over 2 years.

This would mean the Vision Pro might be on pace to sell about ~$6B per year - which is about ~1.5% of Apple revenue.

This is less than 1/3rd of AirPods - so, for a company the size of Apple - this doesn't really seem that significant right now.

It's obviously hard to predict the future, though...

I think they are talking about the UI, so a pointy-needle that is controlled by a computer would not be considered digital. The details inside the engine are less relevant to the user, the point I think is that the display is fixed-function.
> The effects of low doses of _______ make me wonder if we have been going about it all wrong

It's human nature to think that more is better. If a little works, why not use more. There's a definite bit of experimenting that should be done to see when more become less effective. As a user, that's just part of the journey. Then we have the marketing/sales view point where they just want those numbers higher, but it actually makes to product less but not in a way the marketing cannot overcome it. I feel this way about the microbrewery movement with high alcohol and hops=>IPA usage.
Have you ever tried that with an Apple "magic mouse" ?

Few people are demanding public transport spanning entire sparsely populated states.

There are enough cities in the US with comparable population densities to e.g. Amsterdam.
I watched Dumb Money (2023) last night and it starts this same way. It was completely unnecessary, was done in a confusing way, and this plot device didn't add anything to enhance the excitement of the story. A completely linear plot would have been just fine, especially since everyone knows the story gets more interesting (even from the trailer alone). In fact, the interesting part of the story that most people don't know is the beginning... how it all started before it was exciting.

It was still an entertaining movie, so I wouldn't let this one poor choice deter anyone.
For IR remotes, there are a few ways to go about it. If you have a remote you want to clone, you can just use the flipper to clone and map buttons to a custom remote. If you don't have the remote and have a common device (like TVs), I would check this repo on Github [0] and see if you can find a compatible IR file. Note, you need a micro SD card in order to move the files onto the flipper, but a small one works fine.

I've had good luck with the basic universal remote when I'm in a pinch. Also, you can create custom IR files, but it can be a pain with encoding. The flipper forums are a good resource too [1].

Yes, they've gotten easier.

There are mushroom based gummies available in local smokeshops due to some loophole in the that this particular strain of shrooms is not explicitly illegal.

My gf just got into shrooms. She started getting them from her weed dealer. His shrooms were overpriced, and hit or miss quality. Then we ran into a girl with a shroom hat at a festival, and it turns out she's a great source. Selling shrooms is her primary source of income. She makes little vegan shroom "cookies" (which are more like fudge), and also sells raw shrooms. She's a licensed massage therapist, and seems to launder the income by charging you for a massage.
More of the article is about the hatch and how it has been locked on various missions because the crew didn't trust the payload specialist. I also learned that a Saudi prince flew on the space shuttle.
You say this but having an actual source would be great.
I've never had a hard time finding them. You could always just order spores online if you didn't know a guy. But now that it's not a crime to possess them where I live (Colorado) I'm a little less reserved about talking about it. The terrarium is out of the closet, and that's a recent change.
It depends on how new/expensive your router is, how strong the signal is/close you are, and how congested the channel is (at that moment). Some Wifi 5 (802.11ac) routers are significantly faster than the average.

That was a DNS problem with cloudflare.

It bit Mozilla users harder because Mozilla uses "DNS over HTTPS" to cloudflare itself, ignoring your system DNS. There's a setting to change that but you have to enter "DNS" in the "setting search" to get it.
Don't worry, the Canadian government came up with a solution for that as well.

The gas that is flared comes with oil production. Good idea to capture it for productive use, but if you want the oil you have to deal with the gas. Unlike oil where you can move small amounts of it via truck, you need a pipeline to the wellhead to move natural gas to market. Expensive to do locally and very hard to build new, long distance pipelines to bring it to market in states not called Texas.
It's relevant if you don't object to every use of the word "think".

Unveiling the Mysteries of Convolutional Autoencoders for Image Denoising
The point you're missing here is that in England (which the article is about), living in "the countryside" is not cheaper than living in a city in many cases, other than London - it's been more desirable to live in rural areas for a long time for a lot of people. It's practically a rite of passage for young professionals starting families to moving out of London to a village in the Cotswolds or Mendips.

Starlink doesn't really change much in England either, where reasonable rural internet access has been prioritised for a long time. Perhaps it makes Scottish islands more accessible though.
>but I'm not seeing anywhere near 500Mbps out of WiFi 5 from a normal client device.

Not sure what you mean by "normal client device", but I've gotten approximately 500Mb/s on my laptop under optimal conditions (ie. direct line of sight to router and connecting to a wired device on the same LAN). The "top" speed for 2x2 80mhz under wifi 5 is 867Mb/s[1] so that roughly tracks. Under more realistic conditions (eg. wall between router and device, or transferring files between two wireless devices), you'd expect less.

When your goal is profits all you have to do is make more money than you spend and you are successful.

If you don't do that you are a bad business and fade away into obscurity.

Public funded projects are cost centers, their measure of success isn't profit but things that are more vague.

Since money is an equalizer everyone instead looks at the money. This means that failure becomes much less acceptable. After all failures are money wasted.

The good thing about this is NASA is very careful to avoid failure with fixed payment contracts designed to shield it from problems with contractors.

The bad thing is talking about mistakes becomes bad. After all NASA is known for eliminating problems to maximize success, how could they fail to do that everywhere?

And thus these kind of soft risks that we need to accept are viewed as hidden problems that shouldn't be talked about.

Side note Space Shuttle crews being unsure about a foreigner potentially killing them would be a terrible news cycle... Of course the crew knows it is just "I don't know this person" but outsiders will hear it is a cultural issue. Heck this article's main point was described as that on this page.
>> When Micorosoft adopted Git for Windows, they faced this problem and solved it.

> On Windows. On Linux Git still doesn't scale well to very large repos.

All of Microsoft's solutions for git scaling have been cross-platform. Even VFS had a FUSE driver if you wanted it, but VFS is no longer Microsoft's recommended solution either, having moved on to things like sparse "cone" checkouts and commit-graphs, almost all of which is in mainline git today.

I also find it funny the complaint that git scales worse on Linux than Windows given how many Windows developers I know with file operation speed complaints on Windows that Linux doesn't have (and is a big reason to move to Windows Dev Drive given the chance, because somewhat Linux-like file performance).

The lingering effects might very well last longer than the actual event itself though. Hell, the effects of LSD last much much longer than the drug itself lasts in the body. So to me, you're harping on the wrong thing. Sure, maybe the movement lasted a short time, but the mindset is still out there
This makes me think that mental health failure modes are not uncommon. 2 in 650 for relatively well-socialized/well vetted candidates.

And yet, no one really seems to be able to figure out how to plan for these mental health failure modes or even talk about them in the first place. Corporate America for example seems unable to grasp this stuff.

A Universal Prompt Injection Attack in the GPT Store

Financing adds another complexity layer sure, but not sure how you conclude it means almost nothing

If you're trying to buy something super expensive with a salary that is small in comparison then you're going to have a bad time regardless of if it is outright or via financing.
We only know based on the information we have that they are sharing CSV files via REST on AWS/EC2. That’s the most expensive way to share it, and also risky .

What’s spammy about my post? I have asked people to focus on costs when they make general statements like “all govt data should have a REST api”.

What I'd really like is for someone to discuss and review any improvements that newer access points can have with older clients. For instance, 802.11ac brought beam forming that made a network of 802.11n clients work better. Otherwise, what's the point when the same hardware will be 1/3 the price when we finally start getting WiFi 7 clients?

I feel like nearly every sentence in your comment grossly misses the point. Of course I expect agriculture to use more water, and it's a good thing that we all have more than enough to eat. The issue is there are often no regulations put in place to incentivize agriculture to use water efficiently and economically. I mean, please point out to me "the average person" in California that desires to grow alfalfa so it can be shipped overseas to China and Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile we're pretending making people ask for water at restaurants makes any difference at all when it comes to water savings.

> There is no "us" and "them" for responsibility of these things.

Baloney. Warren Buffet was right when he said "There's class warfare, all right, but it's my class, the rich class, that's making war, and we're winning." I'd have no problem supporting water restrictions locally if it wasn't just a total distraction, a "going through the motions" if you will, while the biggest users of water do nothing.

Edit: coincidentally, I just saw this article on NYT just after posting this comment: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/18/climate/california-merced... . There should be no restrictions on local users of water until agriculture is addressed.

I tried a free trial of Xtadium on Meta Quest 3.

I got on a sports photography kick lately which has had me going to every kind of college sports event. I became a big fan of sitting in the front row at college basketball games so I was looking for the same experience in VR.

I found that neither the multi-screen nor panoramic modes really worked for me at home over (roughly) 20Mb/sec ADSL. Also the space seems really strange: often stereopano camera have a lot of eyes like

and synthesize a view which isn't quite right for objects too close to the camera. I gotta go to the office in the evening one of these days to see what the app can do over a good connection before I cancel the trial. Although the AVP has a better display it's going to have the same issues w/ the network and the camera that I'm experiencing.

I think there's a lot we can learn from fungus, and not even in some kind of spiritual mumbo jumbo way, they're just better than we are at a lot of tasks (e.g. if you want to talk about 9's of availability, mycorrhizal networks are way ahead of us: they don't tend towards single points of control/failure like we do).

Fair point. Yep, is all what we have, but I would wish that somebody find a better method. Is very fuzzy after some ages with all those rings that fork or fuse.
Right now the only time they take a cut is when they do payment processing. Uber, for example, pays Apple nothing.

The worst thing about TV input is usually refresh rate. Many TVs will display 120hz internally, but their HDMI port will only carry 4K@60. Because of this, the only way to see 120fps video is by playing 60fps (or less) video through the TV's internal GPU-based frame interpolation.

If TV manufacturers would have just put in a DisplayPort port, we wouldn't be in this mess.

This is physics. You get a power usage and you can imagine which kind of device pulls the energy. With some context you can even guess that I switched on my water boiler at 19:45 and yes, you would know that I drank tea or coffee.

As for burglars, they will know that I am away statistically during the day. Which is not only predictable, but they can get the exact moment I leave by simply watching my house.

This reminds me of a friend who was worried that someone would hack my smart lock. To what I said that I would LOVE them to hack it instead of breaking the door as they will do.
