I think your math is correct, and it will be very limited compared to a real-life retina screen, but I think there's also a perceived resolution increase from having binocular vision and moving.

If you hold your head steady while looking through a window with a plastic screen on it, things outside are obstructed. If you move your head slightly back and forth and focus in the distance, the screen pretty much disappears.

Your brain can do some motion smoothing to determine the "actual" content, even if it's sampled. I'm not sure how you could quantify it, and it only helps a relatively small amount, but it's there.
You can find complaints like that for any forum that's been around for a while. You should see what some people are saying about HN for example.

I've banned people a as moderator, and some of them have gone on to spread complete falsehoods about this. While I'm not saying there is not a problem or that all accounts are incorrect, I find it very hard to trust these accounts from random anonymous internet people. Especially not the type of person who goes off on rants that RaspberryPi is all a scam from Broadcom (or ... something) because that seems exactly the sort of person that should be banned.

Hell, one of those links was just a new user mistakenly banned because they looked like a spambot, which was resolved quickly. That sort of thing that happens all the time. Did you even read your own links?

I think it has to do with the way the city grew out north and south, with the city itself as a chokepoint (since it is surrounded by water otherwise). Common reasons people need to go from north seattle to south seattle: IKEA, Southcenter, Seatac. I'm sure there are reasons for people to go north as well, but I have a harder time thinking of them (other than that they went south and now have to come back north).

Yes and no.

He still owns ~400M shares and had options on 304M more. The 304M just got cancelled.

He has around 260M shares pledged as collateral against his loans - at least according to the latest known numbers (from 2022 I believe).

So let's say he's not yet under water, but the margin just got dangerously close to the limit.

> My review kit included Apple’s $200 travel case.

I saw that the carry case is $200 and was surprised that they're charging this much. But I guess it makes sense since they won't be producing a super large volume of these, and they probably won't have much external competition (because most third-party accessory companies won't jump into a market like this, given the low volume).
Isn't this how ordinary spanning monitors works? It might be slightly awkward with AR goggles since the relative orientation of the displays will be constantly changing as your head moves, and what happens to a window you have half on and half off of the Macbook's screen when you look away? Or do you want to have the application jump between devices, like appearing on your fridge when you go for a drink? With the old X11 protocol and a daemon in the middle this was possible but the use cases were extremely limited and the security issues made it a pain in the ass to actually use. With distros moving away from X11 this is only going to get harder, and you have to ask yourself how much you really want it.

This would mean the goggles would be basically just a dumb display for the Mac. It would also be weird to try to move an AR app onto your Mac.
But isn't it management's inability to adapt to remote work signal that management's experience is poor? I get that we love to categorize argue about RTO vs no RTO but I think the real topic is how companies/organizations are deciding on which model to commit to and why -- the "why" helps with communicating and convincing adults to do something like commuting (management is hard work, right?).

I get that a contrarian stance can come up with an example to contradict what the article is trying to convey. However, I think the article more so tries to draw situations in which CEO/Management is failing generally (with WebMD) and is hoping that a forced in office environment would solve their management woes.

I do believe that a majority of organizations are in this bucket rather than the one you claimed.
Has a 1-3 team moat ever really existed with new technologies? My best guess would be to somehow get your tech embedded into the defence industry.

My goto moat test: is there an obvious ‘death by Amazon’ route? Amazon can strike fear into entire industries with scale and capital. Very few tech companies could withstand a full frontal assault by Amazon. I can’t see how this trend won’t get worse if AGI occurs during our lifetime.

The only reason there is not more AI or robots doing the majority of the work available to humans, is either it’s cheaper to hire humans or companies just haven’t gotten around to it yet.

The vast majority of the United States power grid (many thousands of power plants) are optimized in auctions every hour for the next day and every 5 minutes on the operating day. Finding the globally optimal solution is pretty important for both fairness and not wasting billions of dollars each year. I'd agree with you for a lot of problems though, but keep in mind there are plenty where they need full optimality or within a tiny percentage from it.
Yeah, the Quest seems to be the spiritual successor to Wii sports. It’s the closest thing you can buy to that 2006 experience. The long dream of wielding a lightsaber on the Wii was finally realized on the Quest, to a quite satisfactory level.

the current code generating LLMs seem not suited for this

just having more test doesn't mean you actually test more (or more correctly)

Having AI specialized on assisting testing is viable but in the end would be done quite different as far as I can tell even if it uses LLMs. Through maybe domain adoption and a very different scaffolding might be enough.
I used to commute from westchester county into midtown, and there were definitely parkways in, although I never needed to go all the way down to Manhattan itself. I would usually try to take the train though (often not possible given how westchester county is poorly connected to train stations).
Some will, but how would fewer jobs in cities affect the number of people who want to live there. And if the restaurants, bars, cafes, etc. also shrink as a result... It's by no means obvious to me that nearly as many higher income people live in cities if their work doesn't require it. Certainly wasn't the case historically.
WhisperKit: Speech Recognition On-Device for iOS and macOS
I was wondering why they would give up the 2B EUR, as the prison sentence here in Germany can't be that long afaik. But then imagined they could probably be extradited to the US for their 'crimes'. Not sure if that'd actually happen though... Germany refused extradition based on too low prison living standards before.

Then again, if you can't leave Germany and have 2B EUR that would be seized if you try to use it, it is game-theoretically a loss as well.

Maybe they saw a deal as their only possible restart in life.
As someone who kept playing Pokemon (and who has casually played online matches since gen 4) the game did change... But not in good ways.

The mechanics and the balance got better (even if power creep is a very real thing). In fact, going back now, early pokemon titles are, mechanically, extremely weak (especially the ones before diamond/pearl).

The problem is that the single player experience is extremely lacking. The games were never hard, but as the player gained tools they became even easier. The story peaked at Black/White and then kept oscillating between forgettable and downright horrible.

The performance of the games has also steadily gotten worse, and Scarlet/Violet is the worst point in the series on that front. By a mile.

The problem for me, and for I assume many other players, is that it's sadly a one of a kind franchise. It's probably the one with the most content in its own sub-genre (there's very few catch-em-all type games that hold a candle to it), and it's also the only turn based rpg with a competitive scene on the market. I've probably collectively spent tens of thousands of hours on the franchise over a span of 16 years or so and unless something that can even get close to the experience pokemon gives me gets made, I'm kinda stuck.
Doesn't there have to come a point where VCs either deploy the capital they raised or close up shop?

I've been pondering this for the last few years when VCs were sitting on huge amounts of capital, but saying "the market is closed".

With the expectation that they deploy the majority of a fund within the first 5 years, let's say a $100m fund would deploy $20m/year.

They've sat out the last 2 years, so they now need to deploy the money they have at a quicker rate.

Will this mean that they

a) push up the valuations of a few companies that all the VCs are chasing (likely in the AI space)

b) spread smaller amounts of funding across more companies.

c) neither, and just continue to not deploy. If you don't deploy the funds, will investors back your next fund?

What if there was a site where your thoughts took center stage? Imagine a platform where you could express yourself anonymously, connecting with a diverse community that values individual expression. You could like and flag thoughts anonymously, shaping a positive and respectful environment through community feedback. Each week, the most liked thought becomes the “Thought of Humanity,” creating an archive of impactful and inspiring ideas. Picture a space that resets weekly, allowing new ideas to shine, and where you can connect with like-minded individuals globally.

Join Thoughts of Humanity and help shape a respectful safe space!

Yeah, I've seen that trend a lot. Execs don't want to fully commit and lose half of their office space so they reduce it down a little bit. I imagine they'll reduce it again if it's the same for the duration of the tenancy.

We really don't. The majority of desert is not sand. Only around 20% is sand, and around 3% consist of sand dunes.
Transportation in deserts is complex due to the rocky terrain that usually fills the rest of the desert.

It is economically cheaper and easier to take beach and river sand. (Especially since some countries designate sand dunes as protected areas)

The highway under Boston has turned out to be one of the better solutions that the area could've had, I think. It doesn't mean that the highway that goes around (I-95) is unused, or even underused, but I-93/the former Central Artery going underground has allowed some really important revitalization of parts of the city while also giving pretty direct and (outside of the worst part of rush hour) quick access to most of Boston and Cambridge by car.

As forward-looking as much of the area is, we weren't getting away with "less car", and I don't think most places will today either.
You can't build a freeway around Seattle unless you plan to make it float. Well, there is 405, but that is way around (and is its own chokepoint on the east side). Vancouver has much of the same problem with hills and water making it act as a choke point. I'm not sure how the Twin Cities compares.

There may be a few people laughing all the way to the bank: those who bought first-gen units and left them shrink-wrapped in order to grab top dollar at auction in 20 years. I'd guess they might go for $100k at that time. The question is, what would $3,500 of AAPL be worth 20 years from now?

I haven't used the Vision Pro, so I can't say how well it works in practice... but with macOS 14 this year they redid their screen sharing app to, presumably, use whatever technology is underlying the Vision Pro display-sharing. It's really good. Vast improvement over the previous tech (presumably VNC?).

Assuming the Vision Pro screen sharing works using the same stuff, I have high hopes.
This is a strawman argument. The biggest advocateds of federated social media are not promising a fully decentralized and censorship-proof network. Federation is built on trust, and blocking untrustworthy instances is a critical function of any open federated system.

There is another side of the Fediverse that operates on the principles you are talking about (eg. Poast, Baest, Spinster, Gleasonator, NoAgendaSocial, NicecrewDigital, et al). That part of the Fediverse, like Nostr, is covered in Lolicon, gore, and Nazi memes because that's the userbase you get when you promise that nobody can stop you from posting whatever you want.

More and more I am learning that the people who desire censorship-free social spaces are the kind of people that others rightfully exclude from polite social spaces, because these are people who lack respect and want to say and do horrible things without opposition.
On Windows of all places (95ish to MEish) there was a remote tool called radmin and it had something that I wish companies had embraced: it hooked in to (maybe even before?) the window-rendering functions and sent the changes over the network. It’s hard to explain exactly what I mean because everyone is so used to streaming pictures of the screen over the network (if they even use remote access at all), but you could have less than 20ms latency while controlling over the internet while using tiny amounts of data (50kbps? 100? not sure but somewhere around there).

OSX had the opportunity to follow that path before settling on the “render windows, capture the screen, compress the image, send it over the network to be decompressed” VNC-style remote access that’s bog-standard today, and if they had Vision Pro would be set up to be an absolute mind-blowing macOS experience.

This article is framed incorrectly. The author is focused around productivity or 'wasted' time. Rather, it should be about ensuring that the things you fill your time with bring you joy.

A lot of people fill their idle time gazing at social media, and this activity isn't making them happier. That makes it a waste of time. To the extent they're playing games or enjoying themselves, and are otherwise managing their life - there is no problem. There are no years to add to your life.

>I've used a rowing machine with a VR headset

I really don't think that's the best use-case for VR - if you're doing some kind of virtual rowing, a flat screen is going to offer most of the experience with none of the downsides. VR fitness is really about games that are fun in their own right and happen to be physically active. There's a big cohort of people who hate exercise and would never set foot in a gym, but who will happily spend an hour at their aerobic threshold because they're playing a fun game.

I've long suspected that this model is meant for cities to make money on DUIs. They close the public transit before the bars in almost every city across the country, and they ensure the bars are far enough away and restrictive enough that you have to drive. Then they tax the hell out of taxi services to ensure that there aren't enough cabs to take you home and rides can exceed $100 (which is a lot in most of the country by area, not population). It's zoned this way where bars and restaurants aren't near houses, in summary.

If they did it like Spain, for example, where you can just walk out of your home, sit on the street at any restaurant, and drink wine with your friends, we'd have exactly what you're describing.

But then they wouldn't be able to rake in DUI profits.
