The result was a bleak contrast between Watts’s high talk of compassion and love and a series of affairs that, combined with his low view of fatherhood – ‘mow the lawn, play baseball with the children’ – helped to destroy his family

If you create life you must be responsible for it. Checking out early isn't an option.
Same here. Feels so good to have my photos under my control. Make sure they’re backed up properly though!!!
This is totally a bit of speculation, but given Disney is one of the majors (only major?) with an app for the launch of Apple Vision Pro, [0] I can't help but wonder what is coming from the NDA discussions between the teams working on HMD technology.

If the dais/stage/platform of the HoloTile product Lanny Smoot demos is a true prototype, it's likely miniaturizable (as well as scaled up) for implementation in both court-sized and entertainment room-sized versions.

The future gets closer and closer.

so honest they use unlicensed tech?
Spotify, the company best known for playing fair only when it's advantageous for themselves.

Well sure. You can't feel absolute velocity, you only feel acceleration.
Love rclone. IIRC for years the donation page said something along the lines of "rclone is a labor of love and I don't need your money, but if you'd like to help me buy my wife some flowers that would be greatly appreciated."

Just seems like a cool dude. Glad to see he's able to do it full time now, and hope it's still as fulfilling.

EDIT: Thanks to archive.org I found it[0]. Even more wholesome than I remembered:

> Rclone is a pure open source for love-not-money project. However I’ve had requests for a donation page and coding rclone does take me away from something else I love - my wonderful wife.

> So if you would like to send a donation, I will use it to buy flowers (and other pretty things) for her which will make her very happy.

Screens should come with the rental, but adjustable window screens are easy to come by if this is a problem you have.
If it’s running at a constant speed, it shouldn’t be any different according to Newtonian mechanics. Perhaps seeing the environment stand still is weird, but in VR (which I understand would be the main application here) that’s a non-issue.
Faraday.dev has it in its selection of models now. Good for us clueless Windows folks. Runs decently fast with 16gb mobile 3080 gpu. Results seem better than any other free option.
Waking Up (Sam Harris’s meditation app) has a huuuuge, high quality catalog of Watts. I am under the vague impression that the catalog was recently released/public domain’d so you may be able to find it elsewhere? But worst case, Waking Up is an excellent resource for this stuff anyway.
To me thats a strange take. Letters that flow into eachother make it easier to write IMO. To
Me it’s a bit similar to just using a keyboard and taking the hand off the keyboard to fuss with the mouse.
Yeah, as someone who taught themselves Palmer script [0] in high school, I learned that it can only really be written fast if you have a fountain pen (which made me buy a cheap fountain pen), and that it's hard to write block letters using one. It's easier to accurately trace the shapes of cursive using a ballpoint pen, but because you have to press down a lot more to get a solid line on the page, you're forced to write more slowly.

I think something like Getty-Dubay Italic [1][2] is more appropriate for pencils and ballpoint pens, and for teaching children to write. It's also a more basic script than cursive. The primary thing is learning the basic shapes that make up most lowercase/minuscule letters.

You skipped the section where the measurement of total sleep for most devices was found to be more than adequate.

Detecting light versus deep sleep accurately with wristwatches or devices under the mattresses might not be possible. Especially not when accuracy is supposed to be comparable to multiple electrodes places directly on the head to measure brainwaves.
This doesn't make them wrong in this case though.

I use Flameshot on Linux and ShareX on Windows, they're great. I modified Flameshot slightly to upload images to my site and get a shareable link
I was immediately concerned with the UX of just having a giant list with no screenshots, but the right taglines turn it in to a rather pleasant “perusing” experience. You don’t know what you don’t know so perusing is a decent solution to discoverability and I discovered a couple things that I’m going to install.

This caught my eye though: “Cusdis is an open source, lightweight alternative to Cusdis that's easy to use and values user privacy.”. Typo or hallucination?
I remember reading this while it was coming out and feeling like Shamus was writing words I had in my heart but could not articulate with my head.

This series genuinely changed how I look at videogame writing and while I still enjoy games like Mass Effect 2, I don't think I would ever try and defend their writing.

As it stands though VR motion sickness is an even bigger problem for a park ride, sometimes you can get used to the sickness but if you’re doing it for a one off ride.
Yeah, with Google getting .dev we can't count on ICANN being reasonable.
Even if it didn’t solve motion sickness, I think it would dramatically help with immersion for me.

Artificial movement brings me out of it more than anything.
Could you give an example? Like GP, I'm also not aware of any way to do such a thing without using shell-specific extensions.
Before this entire debacle unfolded, I really liked having Beeper on my iPhone to send and receive texts from my Windows computer and mix my chat platforms together like the old days of IM. I was on the waitlist early and I even got the Beepy Mini and have had a lot of fun messing with it. The visual design of their app/logo is distinct and charming. I told people to try it out. I would make detailed bug reports for issues I hit and the team would reply, and fix them.

But the shine really wore off over the last couple months, and I finally uninstalled it yesterday. It’s just become less and less reliable throughout, with messages arriving out of order, etc. There was plenty of room left to polish and improve the experience as an iPhone messaging client too, but instead of doing that they picked this fight with Apple and it feels like any other roadmap items and general stability fell by the wayside.

I wonder what the master plan for Beeper was here. Because I feel like as a user of their original offering I was pretty much left aside so they could fight this battle that unfolded exactly as futilely as skeptical HN commenters predicted it would on day 1. Were there just not enough of us using the original offering, they had to throw this Hail Mary?

The updates channel used to be full of incoming features and enhancements, once it became a constant drumbeat of the next flailing attempt to circumvent Apple with the Android client I figured we weren’t ever getting Stickers support. iMessage sending and receiving performance in my iPhone and computers has generally degraded over the last couple months too, and I have to assume it’s related.
Well both Facebook and Google have already convinced consumers in the past to install certificates that were only meant for internally distributed iOS apps so they could spy on end users.
Yeah the 'force' movement was really cool. Maybe this is the other way you could do the Jamiroquai video for Virtual Insanuty?

I've never really used VR stuff but I wonder what does it feel like in your head when your legs move and your view moves but your body doesn't?

And then the edge case is extreme but topologically, can something like this work for running where you can lose contact with the ground and your body is sort of compensating for momentum?

I guess treadmills work without people flying off them, so is it just a matter of getting the impulse right?
I just noticed this setting on macOS System Settings > Apple ID > Contact Key Verification (at the bottom):

>Verify who you are messaging with by comparing contact verification codes in person or over the phone. In conversations with people who also have contact key verification turned on, you will see a message if contact key verification detects an issue or is turned off.
then why have smart watch?
The idea on paper I think was to encourage building out the infrastructure to areas that would not otherwise be profitable enough to build to by increasing the number of available customers in a poor neighborhood.

Personally I think it's a tough spot. Infrastructure projects like ISP connections are best done once to a residence like power or water/sewer which is usually a city or heavily regulated natural monopoly. Ideally you could have the city run fiber to residences in the metro area and companies could compete for the service across those wires if we wanted to cling to markets like some places do with various billing providers for electrical power.
I will mostly agree with you on this. It is a shame it's not easier. But few distros are much different of the big ones. Legal reasons probably.

At least you get friendly popups, and clicks to download from the software center. Worst case adding rpmfusion which is fairly easy these days but agree it's extra steps.
I’m reminded of the Stephen King novel / Anthony Hopkins movie Hearts in Atlantis where missing pet posters going up were a sign that the government men were hot on his heels.

Great movie, by the way.
I worked for Merrill Lynch around 2000 and they used other people’s public IP addresses on their (theoretically) internal network.

Naturally, this went terribly as soon any of their sites had their own connection to the internet.
The ISPs themselves only recieve the amount from the FCC of your discount. The advantage to the ISP of enrolling everyone they can in the program is stability. They get that money every month, wether you lose your job and can't pay or you just forget to pay. Maybe thats not a rsik for you, but the ISP has enough customers for whom that is a risk, that marketing it to everyone is well worth it.

I don't know why the school would push ot so jard, except making sure that everyone who needs it gets on it so they jave internet at home. Schools do push everyone to apply for the Free and Reduced lunch program, wether they need it or not, because there are many other funding programs tied to it. I don't know of any programs tied to the ACP directly, though.
Have you tried a treadmill with a VR headset on? It’s not the movement that’s the problem it’s combining it with a VR headset.
DGX GH200 is next gen, but afaik not available to anyone aside from internal partners. All the quoted data here is for several of them together in a chassis.

>Each NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchip in NVIDIA DGX GH200 has 480 GB LPDDR5 CPU memory, at an eighth of the power per GB, compared with DDR5, and 96 GB of fast HBM3.

(https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/announcing-nvidia-dgx-gh20...)

Looks like a single superchip has 96GB of hbm3, similar to a single v5p tpu. The H100's in the DGX H100 were 80GB per board.
If you think $30 is low, wait until you find out about Comcast’s fixed rate secret $10/mo plan that you can ask them for.
I don't have experience with Fitbit, but I have been using Garmin Fenix 7x for the past two years and I can confirm that at least in my case, its measurement of my sleep quality is only loosely connected to reality.

As I am an avid runner and I train daily, I pay close attention to all sleep, heart rate, stress, and running performance numbers.

Unfortunately, it will frequently say I had good night of sleep when I definitely feel groggy or the opposite.

As to misclassifying idle time before and after sleep, I recognise that simple lifestyle adjustment could fix it (just don't browse on your phone before sleep!) But that of course won't fix it if you try to lie still but can't fall asleep.
Another soft announcement. NASA has already found reasonably convincing evidence of life on Mars, they're just being super cautious because of the 1976 Viking results, and the ALH 85001 meteorite. Introducing "the possibility" of evidence of life many times in many ways lets the public get used to the idea slowly.
And also Meta has zero motivation to move to an alternative marketplace. They don't sell the app or use micropayments.
How about we just stop subsidizing rural living and force big city liberals to allow more housing?
I had a Withings for a couple years and ended up frustrated with it. The tiny screen meant that many notifications took so long to read I often just got my phone out instead. But the worst thing was the lack of a "find my phone" feature.

I switched to the Garmin Vivomove and have been very happy with it. It looks fantastic IMO, the transflective screen is big enough to be useful, and it has only the features I want. The only downsides are that the Garmin Android app is not as well designed as the Withings app and the battery life is only 4 days or so instead of a week, which feels like an awkward amount of time.

Just get Excel. It is indeed one of the best pieces of software ever made.
To be fair, consumers mostly don’t want to pay artists much money either. The consumers who do want to pay have plenty of avenues to directly support their favorite artists. Spotify is a music distribution tool that modern artists use to leverage their popularity into fiscal gains. Paying per stream is an antiquated business model at this point.
It's the human-scale version of these parcel sorting devices

I kind of figured when I read the title. Triangulating a radio source works well and is very easy to do. The story of any “mystery” really needs to be built up.
You can stick it on the charger while eating, taking a shower or whatever else. With my samsung watch I usually stick it on the charger in the morning or in the hours before bed, when I don't really care about collecting any data/don't have to worry about urgent notifications.

And if I'm out somewhere and don't have my watch charger handy, I can stick it on the back of my phone and charge it from that.
One word: Backend.
Also, consider making backups append-only as an extra precaution: https://ruderich.org/simon/notes/append-only-backups-with-re...
Apple pays out roughly the same percentage to developers as does Spotify to artists.

As Apple pays almost nothing to developer the DMA seems a step in the right direction.
So instead of increasing their revenue from $1.99/month to $5/month, they're going to drop down to $0/month from me as soon as they revoke my legacy subscription.

I wasn't using it that much, but kept subscription for the little odd things I wanted to automate. Nothing mission critical, so I'll just cut the service.

For $5/month I'll just run a tiny VPS myself.
People complain about the green/blue bubble thing that Apple does, but I like to be able to see if the other user is using iOS, because SMS has no encryption whatsoever, and this iMessage shim that Beeper is using effectively opens the possibly of MITM the iMessage traffic without one’s knowledge. From this security perspective, I don’t have a problem with Apple cracking down on this misuse of iMessage.
Yeah, there's no way this is gonna fly. American companies always try to do some rules lawyering around EU regulations and it never goes well for them. That's exactly how Facebook ended up getting their 1.3B Euro fine.
And Zoom installed a secret backdoor web server on the Mac…
Or just dont use Apple. People make it a huge deal , but they can just vote with their wallet.

Apple will continue their anticompetitive a d abusive tactics als long as the market tells them that its OK (with their spending).
> There's still Garmin... but honestly, I don't understand why people insist on paying hundreds of dollars for a "name",

Another way of saying "paying for a name" is "paying for trust". When you run notifications through a smart watch you give it a lot of sensitive information. For example the contents of texts you receive. Depending on the device/implementation it can be a lot more. If it manages this data via a companion app then it's pretty easy for it to phone home too.

I don't turn notifications on my watch, I'm distracted enough as is, but if I did I'd be careful about the device I use. I suspect some of those bottom of the barrel devices aren't treating this sensitive level of access with the upmost care.
These look great, hopefully they can get a NFC-enabled version out soon.

EU has stagnated.

PRC fossil usage is tapering.

US became the largest oil and lng exporter in the world.

10 million barrels of oil per day, 10 billion cubic feet of LNG per day.

Enabling exponential usage.

If PRC fossil imports is counted against her usage, then US fossil exports should be counted against hers to balance the account (and other major fossil producers). And that front, US is both the greatest fossil fuels user - 30% more than PRC in aggregate, and 6x more per capita, while also enabling other to use fossil fuels post shale boom. More than ANY other fossil exporter.
i feel like if brother can make an inkjet printer for a hundred bucks that gets positioning repeatability well below 100 microns with an optical servo, laser engraver makers can do the same thing. my capacitive digital calipers cost like ten dollars and are also in that precision range. optical, magnetic, or capacitive servos don't need to cost thousands
Nice stuff man, makes me think of Claude.ai you should talk to them
I think it depends how it's supposed to be used. If you try to use it like a treadmill in a tiny room then no - and I'm sceptical it would work at all, because the motors would probably be overpowered by any kind of decent sprint or jump.

However I could imagine this to be able to expand the abilities of venues that already have enough space to let you walk around: You could have people move on their own as long as there is space, but then "stealthily" move them around when they think they're standing still, allowing either much larger geometries than would even fit in a hall or let you play around with non-euclidean geometries, etc.

But yeah, in general I agree, I don't see how this will enable some kind of VR breakthrough or even just move us in the direction on one: Even with this tech working perfectly, you'd be restricted to scenarios where you walk on flat ground and never touch anything. Even a basic hike in the woods has more complex interactions than that, not even starting with the kind of over-the-top acrobatics that we're used to from non-VR videogames.

So yeah, you could probably do the Stanley Parable in VR with this (without the staircases and the drops), but I don't see much else.

Kirkpatrick has been so disingenuous and should not be taken by his word.
It used to take real skill to make a convincing fake but now anyone can upload a photo and push a button to "remove clothing" so it takes no skill at all (I'm guessing) so the barrier to entry has been lowered to nothing. This makes it easier to believe it's fake.
"All right, then keep your 'precious'" is also my reaction to this kind of thing.
Was more referring to the process and professionalism of the rail employees and procedures that I was notified right away vs the fact nothing was stolen - but I noted it since they opened up the bag to find my ID inside and reach out.
> Spotify is a music distribution tool that modern artists use to leverage their popularity into fiscal gains.

This is a skewed way of looking at it, that highlights the positive and ignores the negative.

It’s a lot harder to turn musical talent, productivity (writing & performing songs), and popularity into money than it used to be. Spotify is a big part of that change—and yes, it probably would have been a different company if it weren’t Spotify, but so what? In our history, it’s Spotify.
I've wondered for a long time why the dot was chosen for this instead of the question mark. Using the dot instead of the the semicolon to end definitions seems more natural (as far as "natural" makes sense in an RPN language). That's what I did in my dialect.

I understood why when I wanted to use it as a calculator. All relevant keys for simple computations are then on the keypad.

Well, Forth is flexible enough that you could define "00" to display results; the rule is that the interpreter looks for tokens in the dictionary first, and the try to convert to a number if a word of that name doesn't exist.
For my experience eSIM absolutely created that policy. The same carriers pSIMs still don't require that, so I'm not sure what exactly are you arguing here? The fact that your carrier has a shitty policy it's now ok to spread it?
Some compilers should be able to optimize the loop away and just display the final value when the code runs.

Is it really something that has the same supply and demand curves though? Once the wires are run and especially with fiber the ability to add another customer is pretty cheap. The main goal from what I've read is to encourage building out into poorer areas by boosting the customer base in areas where it might otherwise be uneconomical to build into. Most things diverge from the econ 101 model significantly.
