Honestly, as someone who isn't an apple fan and uses a quest 3, this is still very cool. Obviously a first-gen hardware product, but the software and UX seems on point. eye-tracking and hand tracking combined for UX seems like a very good idea.

one thing I'm super surprised about is that it doesn't use their stage manager window management. When they introduced that to the mac os, it seemed like it was designed for this, and introducing it on the mac would get their users ready to already know how to use the vision pro before it even releases.
Wow, I just tried it, and this is exactly what I’ve been looking for (something that actually makes you think conversationally, not just memorize vocabulary).

Love the rebrand, by the way - I saw your posts about Quazle, and I never wanted to try it then for some reason. Can’t really explain it, but I guess that’s the power of branding right?

One suggestion I would have is that it takes a while when I click on a word to get a definition. Is there a way you could preload definitions on device to make this faster? Sometimes I want to click like 7 words in a row, and I don’t do that now because it’s so slow.
Idk, I get your point but... Imagine a world where I could visit a site or ask a gpt to use the only thing I know about you, your apparently obfuscated HN username, and then I could track you in real time. Because it knew your username’s IP address, which then knew your phone, which then gave me a feed of your gps coordinates, which then gave me live video/audio of any networked camera/smart home device you were in view of. There would be very little shadow over you that people couldn’t watch, or record for future scrutiny. Your employer, business associates, religious groups, neighbors, etc would know everything about you. This is just the tip of the iceberg, your search history and porn viewing preferences and everything else you consider private would then be connected to the username you hide behind.

That would be a bit creepy but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if NSA had the data to build this capability. Money seems like a decent but exploitable way to keep all this data from being stitched together privately
well we're in 2024 now and people still try to suggest Beat Saber (2018) is proof that VR gaming is good.
> The real problem that needs solving is consumers are rarely aware of what they're consenting to.

Right, which means consent was never actually given. In order for it to be consent, you have to be fully informed of and understand what you're being asked to consent to, and there has to be a realistic and meaningful way to withhold that consent.
Show HN: Turn OpenAPI to Universal TypeScript SDKs
Hi HN! We’re excited to share our new code generator that lets you ship high-quality TypeScript SDKs, that your users will love, from your OpenAPI documents. Our ongoing goal is to help you build one SDK that runs anywhere modern JavaScript runs. This includes new runtimes like Deno and Bun in addition to the ever-popular Node.js. Additionally, the popularity of AI has meant server-sent events and file streaming are also commonplace - we wanted to cover these use cases too. This explosion in new runtimes and ways of interacting with APIs shifts cognitive burden on API developers often having to work with different technologies when integrating an API. At Speakeasy we set out to create a “Universal Typescript SDK” that would work across browser, servers and other runtimes.

There are a number of open source generators out there but none of them provided enough coverage across the variety of APIs we see modelled with OpenAPI. Some of the requirements we tried to hit in this release:

- Compatibility with the browser & server

- Support for popular, backend JavaScript runtimes including Node.js, Bun, Deno

- User input and server response validation with Zod

- Support for polymorphic types, also known as unions or `oneOf` in OpenAPI.

- Support for constant and default values, big integers and decimals

- Support for multipart streaming upload

- Support for server sent events using native OpenAPI constructs

We want to give a special shout out to Zod because it served as a great foundation for translating all the JSON Schema primitives used in OpenAPI into TypeScript types that you can trust. By this we mean that the types are backed by runtime validation so vanilla JS users have a safeguard and servers that drift from their OpenAPI spec are caught instead of silently failing or triggering obscure runtime errors. If you’re curious to dive into our learnings check out this post https://www.speakeasyapi.dev/post/how-we-built-universal-ts

We’d love for folks to check out our new generator and give us feedback. Its really easy to get started. Install our CLI with `brew install speakeasy-api/homebrew-tap/speakeasy` and run `speakeasy generate sdk -s openapi.yaml --output ./sdk -l typescript` . If you want to chat directly with us you can reach us on slack : https://join.slack.com/t/speakeasy-dev/shared_invite/zt-1cwb... .
As I see it, we aren't going to make such a change in time to matter, so I left it out of my comment.
Build a Wordle Clone with Phoenix LiveView
Having used the meta 3 and having been blown away by the step function in capability. I have to imagine that even if this product itself isn't a homerun future iterations will be very successful.

As much as I don't love VR - it makes me nauseous, it leaves marks sometimes on my face I can't help but notice how amazing the immersive quality is. It isn't going to replace everything and it won't replace a computer - its a different product vertical and it will certainly be around in the future. It's been around since the 90s and will last a long time.

Early innings still...
"For example, such information is critical to protecting the US Defense Industrial Base" is not an overly convincing argument for purchasing "NetFlow"[1].

The US State department Exchange Online hack is an example of where "NetFlow" being purchased could be more interesting as an example. IP addresses such as those registered in Russia and to OVH data centres logging into State Department executive mailboxes at 3:00AM in US time zones should be laughably easy to detect.[4] Rented US virtual servers and AWS/Azure/GCP servers outside federal government availability zones would also be trivial to detect as suspicious source locations. The question that purchased "NetFlow" would help answer is what is connecting to those suspicious IP addresses, what is connected to those, what else do the chain of IP addresses found communicate with, etc.[5]

- Worst case there was no one was watching that attack as it occurred over ~4 months through use of "NetFlow" that may have been available and useful to use.

- Controversial case is someone was watching (possibly including attacker's use, if any, of US servers) and decided that it was better to keep watching and following the attackers than to immediately prevent a few State Department emails being leaked.

- Best case (not implemented) would seemingly be to fix terribly configured government systems so they can only be accessed from trusted locations and not random rented virtual server IPs, and "NetFlow" analysis is then probably not required. Security features such as "We've noticed your account is accessing this system from a new ISP--confirm this is really you?" aren't new.

SpaceX made satellite communications so ubiquitous and boring it's even used in farming. They tend to have this effect on their products. Reusable rockets are so obvious and now boring because the novelty is gone. I cannot wait for Starship to do the same with LEO (and beyond) delivery.

That is interesting. What do you think the accuracy is? (I'd be a little worried about false positives i.e. omitting results I want to keep). Care to share the uBlock filter list you use? I'd like to try it.

An important aspect of this is that it's not legal for most people to run a prediction market. PredictIt is allowed to operate because it is run by a university, and even that is now under question. The result is that there is little competition in this space, which is why PredictIt has huge fees and limits. As others have pointed out, that's a big part of why these markets deviate from reality.
In the federal system, inmates are offered “GCT”, Good Conduct Time, where they get released from 15% of the sticker price time of their bid.

It’s subject to revocation. That makes for a powerful carrot. Refusal to work is one of the prohibited acts an inmate can do (called a “shot”) to get it taken away.

Like all things, I think the signal being described is just one type of indicator/filter. When used alone, it probably narrows down but not to numbers a mere mortal could handle. When combined with additional filtering, it probably helps reduce down to numbers that is much more manageable.

If you only used "owns a copy of To Kill A Mockingbird" to indicate a serial killer, we'd have a lot of false positives of serial killers.

Honestly, no. Lately I regularly get videos with less than 100 views (sometimes as few as 1) usually someone’s homemade music or lately someone driving a car on a track. It’s not the majority of my recommendations at all, but I’d never see stuff like this recommended before a few months ago.

Industrialization is done in support of human populations. As populations get bigger more and more space must be industrialized.

Your existence (eating, drinking, living) requires X acres of farmland, Y acres of ocean, Z acres of landfill, N tonnes/watts of energy, etc etc etc. No matter how "ethical" you eat or how much housing density you can tolerate, the resources much be spent or you will die.

I suppose it is true that we could all stand shoulder to shoulder connected to IV drips like some kind of sci-fi nightmare (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mark_of_Gideon) but I view this as a bad outcome.
> Common mental illnesses - particularly depression and anxiety - have incredibly high placebo response rates.

In my experience, both long term, major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder only substantially improve through understanding, which of course is realized in at least 2 ways: experience and/or therapy.

We can say with some certainty that antidepressants' effectiveness is questionable, at best, long term, but of particular interest for effective indication would be any number of psychoactive substances, which routinely make headlines for this type of treatment but remain taboo for some still yet to be resolved reasons.

Of course this ultimately boils down to personal choices, but attitudes towards drugs will change before we see any real progress in this area, I'm afraid.
> Would you recommend them?

Yes, no, maybe. Thing is, I've never used a device or software that I haven't found faults with. Overall, the Quest has turned into a solid, though still imperfect, platform, with Meta pushing updates at a consistent, but also breakneck pace, sometimes at the expense of addressing existing issues. Hand tracking from the early days of the Q2 has made massive leaps and has become my preferred method of navigation for its reliability and ease, yet at the same time, the changes in camera placement between the Q2 and Q3 lead to a decrease in controller tracking performance in very specific scenarios. Essentially, they are constantly experimenting, both on the hard- and software front, trying to optimize what they can within their very low price point. Still, if you are interested and have an idea what you'd like to use the headset for, I'd recommend trying one within the return window, though I'd strongly suggest adding a "halo-style" strap (BoboVR is my current favorite) for comfort.

> Do you work primarily in VR?

No, a more healthy mix between a single 27" JOLED and the Quest 3 for workloads that require more screen real estate but can go without as much overall resolution. About 60/40 in favor of the regular panel.

No I don't feel like quibbling about the definition of fascism or the extent to which tech accelerationism is right wing. It's not a novel observation or unique to me, I'm sure you can find some primers if this is the first you're hearing about it.
Hard disagree. Phones and computers do text/images/video. Voice input and audio output is a poor substitute for text and not at all a replacement for images/video.
I was thinking about weight, but the cowlings are pretty small compared to other parts of the plane where composite materials are used. So i'm not sure a single digit saving in pounds of fuel per hour or flight was a good tradeoff considering the risks associated with the alternative they went with.

But, like someone else said this here, I would love someone with knowledge about this to chime in.
> if you can't convince your "boss" to give you enough time to deliver something that meets your bar, quit.

I did this and while it solved my moral dilemma it made things worse for our users.

Many years ago I started my career working for a startup that got bought by a big government contractor. The most incredible people I've ever worked with tried harder than you can imagine to deliver reliable, usable software for the American taxpayer that met the very high bar we set for ourselves.

Because the incentives weren't aligned, most of the good people eventually quit to work at places where they could deliver something that met their bar and were replaced with junior devs and senior clock-watchers.

Every good person who left made that problem slightly harder for those of us who stayed because there was one less person fighting for quality and usability, but the contracts were as big as ever and the new people were less likely to rock the boat so management didn't care that product quality was dropping off a cliff.

In the end it was primarily our users who suffered.

Safetyism is a contributing cause, but children have far fewer siblings than they used to. This means it's harder to go outside semi-supervised, and parents are more protective of their kids because there are fewer of them. Differences in reproductive strategies result in differences of parental care.
If life is full of tragedy, why make more of it? So that you could still have love surrounding you when tragedy strikes? How is that not selfish but OP's view supposedly is?

Yes, I agree with you that you have to create some meaning in your life, make up something and convince yourself to believe in it, because there is hardly another option.

The real reason EMRs are frustrating is that they attempt to provide structure around a chaotic underlay of insurance reporting schemes.

The way clinicians get paid for service is to report everything they do, in obscure and highly-specific codes. Practices on average have to consider arrangements with 25 or so payer entities, and must consider the varying requirements with each.

EMRs are still playing catch up, but there is hope. One of the best applications of AI is translation, something EMRs desperately need.

If I remember correctly, SWARM (bought by SpaceX) was already going after John Deere. They were working with smaller farmers, transportation trucks, and the like. Now, with SpaceX, the deals seem easier.

When I learned about the tech for pinging data via satellite to movable/non-movable objects anywhere on earth (for real-cheap), I was intrigued and started listening to the CEO talk. Sometime later, I heard about the acquisition. They went quiet, and now they seem everywhere.

No, not at all, I actually really like the tab because it's basically only stuff relevant to my watching habits.

They have added a button "propose me something different" which will add new topics for you to discover, maybe you accidentally clicked it.
The funny thing is, when it comes to freedom of speech, the courts made the opposite decision with the State Actors doctrine. If the government wants to censor you, they can't reach through a private institution to do it. But the Third Party Doctrine says they can reach through a private institution to search and seize your property.

This is an arbitrary distinction chosen purely by judicial fiat. There was no democratic movement to strengthen 1A and weaken 4A/5A in this manner. Ergo, we shouldn't necessarily have to get Congress involved just to fix this weird inconsistency in caselaw. The courts have an understandable aversion to "legislating from the bench", but if you've already done so, I think it's fine to at least fix obvious mistakes.

I disabled watch history, which appears to disable most personalization features, and my suggested videos are mostly sensible. (This disables the "Home" page entirely, but the chronological Subscriptions feed is still fully functional)

i.e. the suggested videos in the sidebar will always be relevant to what I'm currently watching, whatever that is, rather than stuff youtube thinks I might like in general.

I know it's doing something good because youtube keeps nagging me to turn watch history back on again.
This is a pretty strange complaint to me. When you use a VR headset you don't really put it on and take it off frequently during a session. When you take it off you can plug it in and it'll stay in standby, which is similar to phone standby. Its also not any slower than Playstation standby.
That is the typical Libertarian Fantasy/Fallacy.

Markets don't exist in a vacuum.
They are created and regulated.
They need contract law, and enforcement.

The argument to get rid of government is really an argument for anarchy, to go back to having war-lords.

Do you really want Amazon coming around with enforcers asking for payment. And since there is no Money (since gov is gone) they take your goat and give you a chicken back for change.
This is the answer. I had a beautiful life before having a child, but what I didn’t realize is although it was finely painted, it was all black and white. My daughter introduced a whole new dimension - color - to the painting of my life. Well worth all the pain.
That might be a good move, because this government is feeling kind of stale, but I think we'd pretty quickly realize that free markets want some things that are worth preventing and a government would emerge to keep them from turning all roads into toll roads and other such excesses.
Sticking googly eyes on the front would be much better than the existing solution because that would be disarming and joyful instead of disturbing and dystopian.

I'd be cautious about believing these 'whistleblowers' who make it sound like the problem is human error, or Boeing contractors, etc., or anything else where there's a scapegoat or a quick fix.

I'm not saying it's not true, but if you were trying to restore confidence in the airworthiness of a fundamentally flawed design, it might make sense to publish unfalsifiable rumours along those lines.
Also, I wouldn’t really worry about Duolingo - they cater to people who want to _feel_ like they are learning a language (for 2-5 mins a day), not people who actually want to make progress. Even if they release features like this, they won’t be competing with you. Duolingo is also the worst example of inappropriate gamification I’ve ever seen.
