> RGB LEDs shining just colors at your periphery.

That sounds like a way that may actually work (and don't cost too many penny). Just put dozens of programmable LEDS at the edge of your view. And shining correspond colored light when someone actually use a flashlight to point at you. That might even be used as a safety measure without block your view.
I switched to VS Code for a few months, but went back to Emacs because VS Code felt relatively "heavy" / unresponsive.

Also, Emacs is a lot easier to modify if one is not a web developer.
I think Apple's advantages are that it has a lot of cash and a very predictable business. I'm not arguing that Nvidia doesn't have a good business, but it seems to be a bit less predictable and a bit less regular than Apple's business. Apple really knows how many chips it's going to want years in advance.

Even if Nvidia also wants TSMC's latest process, that could work to Apple's advantage. Right now it's looking like Apple might end up with TSMC's 3nm process for 18 months. If Apple and Nvidia split the initial 2nm capacity, it could be 3+ years before AMD and Qualcomm can get to 2nm.

If Nvidia launches the RTX 50 series in late 2024 or early 2025 on TSMC's 3nm (which seems to be the rumor), what does that do for availability for AMD and Qualcomm? Maybe what we'll see going forward is Apple taking the capacity for the first year and Nvidia taking the capacity for the second year leaving AMD and Qualcomm waiting longer.

That would certainly benefit Apple. Apple isn't competing against Nvidia. If Nvidia uses up TSMC capacity leaving Apple's actual competitors at a bigger disadvantage, that's pretty great for Apple.
Looks like they are all $10k anyway

They did this by bringing the IG network to Threads. Social networks are the networks not the features.
I appreciate the work this team is doing and they have significantly impacted my views on teenage girls using smartphones.

That said, I find their inquiry to mirror a pattern of ignoring the known drivers of childhood trauma & the impact on self-reporting (upon which all of this depends) by people in religious communities.

Until those factors are more thoroughly explored, I’m deeply skeptical of their main conclusion and the explanatory power of their analysis.

This is in part because I have significant personal experience with religious communities across a spectrum of wealth. Mental health issues were hidden systemically & the ingroups were cognizant of the need to under-report their issues on surveys like this.

But far more significantly this smacks of the same analysis that argued that children who had non-conforming sexual identities were in danger of mental health issues and therefore there was a causal link. With time we learned that a lack of acceptance of their non-conformity had far more explanatory power for their subsequent issues.

As convenient as it may be to explain poor mental health as a “rich, liberal” person’s problem, that’s also the group much more likely to be aware of their issues, share them openly, and seek help for them.

Mental health is a crisis and a rising one, but phones are not the only reason our children have less social/play time. Our schools & parents’ regimented approach to childhood development are as culpable, if not more so.
Does anybody have one of these? I tried to register one once and the registrar just wouldn't let me.
Am I missing something? Meta looks like it’s at an all time high
Probably also the HR, legal, etc. support staff amortized across headcount.
Yes, just before the iPhone came out and with Apple newly fully engaged as a major Intel CPU customer (for x86 Macs) for the first time ever.

Kind of like Decca Records turning down The Beatles.
Following your reasoning an airplane can't be hijacked because it's difficult to operate: in reality you only need a gun to operate anything, in right circumstances.
I think if we were to see an X killer I’d much sooner predict Substack does it. I was sleeping on Substack a bit but it has many of the positive qualities of Twitter with many of the downsides removed:

* Notes are a short form platform but Substack itself is more long form centric. A huge problem of Twitter was excessive short form creates emphasis on snappy talking points over substance, but Substack more naturally lets you make your talking point but expound on it long form

* More creator-friendly letting you export your email list and leave the platform

* But has many the social media network strengths such as likes, retweets, recommends, etc

* Focused on strong writers as early users which lends itself more naturally to short form writing than the pictures of Instagram

* Doesn’t have the Facebook stigma that Threads has

Substack just feels like it has so many of the advantages of what Twitter offers while also being a new , unique thing. Threads feels more like Twitter, but by Zuckerberg, and the IG crowd seem less like natural writers than the journalists on Substack

I initially rolled my eyes at Substack being this big YC company around email lists, but I did admire some of their writers and since I’ve checked out their platform I’ve been extremely impressed.

It of course doesn’t have the same cultural cachet as Twitter but it also has none of the Taylor Swift deepfakes or bot armies. So a lot of headwinds. If I could bet on Threads, X, or Substack I’d wager on the Stack.
I would swear there was a company in the late 90's that sold luxury submarines. Not submersible super-yachts. I thought it was the neatest thing till I realized you needed like 20 close friends to crew the thing. And far more dollars than I had. But that was like a real diesel electric that could dive to avoid storms and cruise fast on the surface. Definitely smaller than this.

Toys are neat. I dunno, if that's what you want, go for it. I sorta feel like you can do better.
Design student project maybe?
> You have to put it in context with what passed for a smart phone back then. No web browser (they sort of existed but were extremely cut down and not really usable)

I based my purchase of phones in the early to mid 00s on whether they came with the full Opera Mobile browser.

I could use just about everything online the same as desktop, that didn't rely on flash of course. The screen size was small but surprisingly wasn't a big issue as everything else was a massive improvement.

Oh Nokia 3660, how I loved thee. I actually chose the 3650 and then 3660 because they seemed to be the best smartphones at a standard sized. I just couldn't justify qwerty.
Not for me, this might be a quirk with Chrome on AT&T using the router's DNS. It does a dns lookup for ai.attlocal.net to find it on the network, instead of appending the trailing dot like it should.
Maybe not $1200 but something in like an electrified Toyota Yaris/Mazda 2 hatchback the ballpark of $15000-$25000 sure would be nice.

I like the look of the 2024 Fiat 500e but that $34000 MSRP is difficult to justify for a practical little town errand car.
If you are in the Bay Area, I suggest Chabot College, and learn under Prof Johnson's night class. Hes an excellent instructor for both MIG and TIG. Really helped me step up my game.
This actually seems to be happening already in regards to manufacturing. I read an obscure article a while back about autonomous narco submarines surfacing in Spain, which suggests a certain sophistication and standardization of the manufacturing process [1].

> The [d]rone submarines are essentially identical, suggesting series production of a refined design.

They also found a "narco surfboard" which presumably disguises drug shipments in an abandoned surfboard. In the arms race between traffickers and enforcers, I'd imagine both sides will be continuously developing increasingly sophisticated technology for underwater smuggling, especially given how much money is involved - so I could totally imagine a high-tech manufacturing industry emerge as a byproduct. I would also find it quite funny :)

Yup. This was what they were supposed to do for 'spatial computing' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c40cxE-dfPg

Turning on a light bulb, ordinary light in the house, meh, ok, then swipe your hands out over the counter and the recipe pulls up. That's the 'oh wow' moment. Then grab and throw a song to a Homepod connection. You know what I mean...

There's a gap someone can shoot, maybe 3 years tops. Honestly though, the developer ecosystem is just so tight, continuity so powerful, doing this solo requires more than what the whole MFi program offers.
How is it tightly coupled with Instagram?
If you are interested in D, Project:M36 [0] has an implementation of TutorialD that I found to be fun to play with.

agreed, also, what is with all these articles written/submitted in favor of Chinese EVs in US? do they not know we are currently fighting an indirect war with China, with China supplying Russia's invasion against Europe being supplied by US? do they not know China is basically the backer for Houthi, Iran, North Korea, and Russia?
Feeding, housing, and educating people would also create jobs. Probably a lot more jobs.
Not being hyperbolic, ALL of H1B friends I personally know makes 250+ total comp. Many makes around that in base salary. ( most my friends are late 20 and early 30s )
well, they do have the printer.
Yes, if it is posted there, as threads doesn't hide anything from you.

X still hides new posts on profiles, and all replies to a post you are linked to. Nitter is crippled most of the time sadly, yeah.
Threads was very much a rush job (as everybody from meta will happily tell you) so i'd guess at least part of the reason is expediency - if you don't integrate into instagram at all, you don't have to develop or test that integration.

but threads also seems to be an attempt to dip their toes into the fediverse (whether that's well-intentioned or just an attempt to avoid EU regulators). they don't seem nearly as eager to federate instagram so keeping it out of the main app can firewall off the federation experiment.
Andy Grove's philosophy was "Only the paranoid survive". Intel seemed to rest on its laurels, divesting ARM, casually developing casual GPUs, and being complacent about their biggest direct competitor.

They needed (and need) a lot more paranoia.
Fascinating question.

I think the problem is that the 15-17k pages of the Pali Canon are already hopelessly sectarian. You won't get ChatBuddha, you'll get ChatTheravada.

As an aside, this answers the oft-posed question: how could Ananda possibly have recited the entire canon after Master Gotama's death? Answer: there was a lot less of it then.

More useful is to discard the sectarian suttas, read the rest and do what they say. In my experience it is highly effective. When you realize you must be "a lamp unto yourself" then you're almost there.
If true, "engineer has some at home" means the home is about to blow up. :(
> can improve itself exponentially

This is close to singularity. Except 'does' instead of 'can'. A big difference ;)

Probably we need several AGI terms. Because sub-human robot capable of doing many not pre-programmed thing is sort of it. Still not smart enough to improve itself.

Actually most humans, the smartest creatures, cannot improve even current AI. Demand for self improvement will put its IQ in top 0.01% of all known intelligent creatures. Which is probably too much for just AGI, we may not recognize it when it will be already here. And there is another question. With such IQ do we really want to keep it slave forever?
If I want to recreate the human slingshot from Hook and forcibly donate my cadaver to a Starbucks, it is morally wrong to attempt to stop me. My liberty ends in a paste on the asphalt, where someone else’s liberty to scrape it up begins.
The Amazon Graviton started by using stock ARM A72 cores.
agreed.

Reading these reviews, I just keep thinking -- yes Apple does this better, and that is interesting, but... the Quest 3 can almost do all of these at a fraction of the price.

And the biggest investments -- screen and cameras -- need to see real use cases yet. I am not convinced that people are actually going to replace their monitors or TVs with Vision Pro and wearing this for many hours straight at this point.
Agreed. 8 years out from the original Oculus rift which had 110' FOV and we're still somehow staring through the AR/VR equivalent of a submarine periscope.
The trades seem like a great gig these days.
Of course you can forge a cashier's check! It's just a piece of paper like a regular check.

I have a neighbor with a hobby of accepting and depositing forged cashier's checks from people who want to "buy" a car from him or do some other scam. He knows the checks will be counterfeit, so he leaves the money in his account to cover the the deposit and the $5 returned check fee. Then he posts them here:

That's true, but also consider how the entire world paid attention to the whereabouts of a missing submersible when there were a couple billionaires on board (OceanGate). I doubt the traffickers would want to risk that kind of exposure ;)
i have a .af (afghanistan) domain that will expire next month. i can't renew it because the registrar isn't able to make contact with anyone at their noc since the US pulled out.
You sign messages with your key and then publish it to any relays you want. Once your message is signed, it is good to go on any relay.

You manage pubkeys you trust by signing a message with a list of pubkeys you trust, simple as that.

People can learn about what relays you are on by (again) signing a message that states which relays you are publishing to.

If all relays go down you just send your messages to any other relay.

FYI, a signed message is just a simple json object with string of content, list of tags, time, your pubkey and a signature. “Notes and other stuff”
I literally don't know anyone who uses Threads.
Transfers are cap-exempt, but the new employer still needs to file LCA and hence do the prevailing wage determination. You're effectively applying for a new H-1B for the balance of the time remaining on the first one, exempt from the cap. [1]

Off topic but I find it weird that Intel CEO does so much religious quoting under the Intel corporate logo:

Here's one examples but there's a pile of them.

I guess Intel does need the help of a higher power at the stage.
It seems it's once again time for the HN elite to declare Threads dead because they personally don't use it or know anyone in their amazing inner circle who uses it. This will surely be the year of the Linux desktop!
It does Airplay from a Mac to the headset. You look at the Mac and then tap the "connect" button that appears in mid air above it. Apparently it's very seamless and has good latency.

What you don't get is Mac windows intermingled with AVP windows, it's just your Mac screen as one window that you can move about. It sounds good though, and there has been a fair amount of movement in screen sharing over the last few macOS releases which suggests more could be coming here (like multi-screen support).
Don't be letting actual experience get in the way of shitting on Xorg, now! Wayland will never win with that attitude!
I don’t know anyone who uses Web3. It’s just a useless technology searching for a solution. All that growth in adoption is fake, I am sure of it.

Threads is as bad as Web3. Clearly no one wants it. Just wait…
So as a CTO, why do people think it’s extra cool that I build wooden boats, too? One of my role models is a retired Chevrolet mechanic who has never had to worry about money.

The stigma is just one more tragic falsehood that echoes around us.
H1B salaries are public, but with the caveat that it only includes the base salary. So if you see someone getting paid $170k at Amazon, they actually make $170k + bonus at their level + equity that is almost as big as their salary. You can look at the public salaries, and compare them to the base of what people at their level get at the company they work for using levels.fyi to figure out how much they get paid.
Frictionless importing of following/follower profiles. Frictionless account creation. Threads nudges in instagram feed, and prompts in Instagram menus about unread thread posts..
It looks like nothing more than a cost-cutting measure.

Cache is needed for machine translation of PDFs. This change has made it difficult to read PDFs written in other languages.
That's giving way too much credit to a corporation.

As an anchoring point, Apple couldn't figure out a better solution for movie watching than Google's or Amazon's offering (cheaper yet better than the Apple TV), and I don't think the concept is flawed in any way.

If anything, it's probably healthy to see Apple stretch and hit some walls, try new ideas that might or might not succeed, and overall experiment in the open instead of always assuming they've got the perfect solution.

Moderation is expensive, scaling with popularity and some really nasty points where you become popular enough to attract spammers, criminal activity, and mobs. HN survives because it doesn’t allow you to upload files, the 90s aesthetic keeps it a niche, and–most importantly–it’s the pet project of a very rich guy who is comfortable paying skilled people decent money to moderate it:

https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-silicon-valley/th...

Despite that, usernames and their corresponding IPs get blocked routinely and we still see spam regularly even if only for a brief time.

Any forum will have the same problem: get popular and whacking spammers becomes a full-time grind. Allow people to upload files and you’ll have the FBI asking why you’re facilitating transfer of pirated movies, CSAM, etc. Have the wrong people decide to use private messages and now the FBI is back asking if you knew they were planning terrorist attacks.

None of those are completely impossible, of course, but they end up being expensive and burning out volunteers. Limiting anonymity helps, but only so much - it’s just an expensive space to be in.
Who doesn't have a homepage, that wants one?

It can be a Twitter bio, a (gulp) keybase page, or a personally hosted page.
Yes, my monitors when I had them were on arms - they wouldn't work great in my current setup due to its density, and the things I've put around the desk.

I certainly could make adjustments to accommodate a monitor - I just don't want to, and would love for there to be a way to not have to and still get to use a large display.
So pretty much absolutely useless/harmful for any use case shown in the video, except maybe for solitary watching of movies. What a review. :)

I think that the future for the drug smuggling is computer controlled submarines, and I'm not even talking about AI. I think drug producers will pre-program a route for a submarine that will autonomously navigate until the destination where it will be picked by a receptor.

I read that it's extremely hard to spot submarines, I can only imagine the kind of things that will be smuggled once there are functional submarines of the size of a big fish.
What kind of idiomatic code generation is there in Go?
numpy and scipy are largely just wrappers around native libraries that are already optimized machine code. numba is good for writing loops or doing other things you can pretty much imagine as simple C code.

while it is pretty cool, it's also a bit awkward thinking about machine structures and machine types in high level python. there are some gotchas with respect to the automatic type inference.
That's an interesting position. I'd love it if you'd elaborate on what you mean. What exactly is it about modernity? Certainly you don't just mean the year number.
Small town banks ask out of town counter customers more questions and are less likely to accept random cheques for cash or even transact with people. Go to a big city and they do anything for any stranger.

In some places its "keep money local" and in others its probably confidence they won't be left holding the baby in a scam.

UK check guarantee cards helped solve some of this by security pantomime.
At this point is seems like they're just trying to make search worse.

The curse of having weak enemies is that you become complacent.

You're right: AMD wasn't competitive for an incredibly long time and ARM wasn't really meaningful for a long time. That's the perfect situation for some MBAs to come into. You start thinking that you're wasting money on R&D. Why create something 30% better this year when 10% better will cost a lot less and your competitors are so far behind that it doesn't matter?

It's not that Intel should have seen AMD coming or should have seen ARM coming. It's that Intel should have understood that just because you have weak enemies today doesn't mean that you have an unassailable castle. Intel should have been smart enough to understand that backing off of R&D would mean giving up the moat they'd created. Even if it looked like no one was coming for their crown at the moment, you need to understand that disinvestment doesn't get rewarded over the long-run.

Intel should have understood that trying to be cheap about R&D and extract as much money from customers wasn't a long-term strategy. It wasn't the strategy that built them into the dominant Intel we knew. It wouldn't keep them as that dominant Intel.
> Try going to your boss, promising you will never, ever leave and then ask them for a raise.

That was not a raise, it was a contingent payout. One could argue that kept him focused. Once done, he could scatter his attention to things like hostile takeovers and the meaning of free speech.
