Hey! So proud to release this cool web tool (at least we think it's cool :)) we've been working on—a game-changer for docs and spreadsheets. You know the struggle of hopping between Word/Google Docs and Excel/Google Sheets? Total headache. Managing multiple copies of the same doc? Not our idea of fun. Even creating basic image grids is a chore.

Ever been stuck syncing Excel data to project docs and thought, "There's gotta be an easier way"? Yeah, us too! Making small changes across different project docs? Total headache. Google Docs table syncing? Too limiting. So, we made Pod Raven—it's like a tight-knit group of docs sharing their own database. Picture all your project docs hanging out in one pod, sharing common sheets. Toss in variables, visualization components, logic blocks, and voila—seriously robust documents. It's all about simplicity and efficiency!

But hey, it's only a start; we're always tinkering with Pod Raven. Some things may be off right now, but we are continuously working on them. We're also always working on new components/integration. If you've got ideas for cool components, please hit us up! Most importantly, would love to hear your opinions!
Question: what was the answer for the thousands of generations ahead of you? It's possible that things were worse for all of your ancestors. If not all then definitely most.
No, it wouldn't. Socketed DDR5 doesn't have the bandwidth necessary to feed a massive compute complex like the one in a modern graphics card.
I love driving in the country, too. What I hate is driving in the city.

There is no need to completely eliminate the highway system. The need is to provide viable alternatives so that people who participate in the system do so by choice.

Besides, public transit doesn't need to involve any interpersonal interaction. You could have a private compartment and still be more safe and more efficient than commuter traffic.
My first ever app. I was actually expecting more hate. So far this is the most negative comment and it's not even negative :D
Note the strap that comes with the MQ3 is atrocious and I find it hard to wear for more than 30 minutes. I find Meta's "Elite Strap" is really nice although it's expensive and I know other people have had problems with it.

Current XR headsets are all too big to really be "mobile" devices (you're really going to take it on a plane or use it in a hotel?) but once you add something like the "Elite Strap" you know you aren't taking it anywhere. Still the MQ3 is a nice self-contained package that you can walk around the house with and do activities that involve a lot of motion without having a battery pack to worry about.
Re:Pricing, I mentioned something around it in the HN launch. Currently the price is 10-is USD/month.
I view mathematics (as in, proving theorems) as one of the professions that's most likely to succumb to automation. We like to think there's some mystical human intuition involved, but that's just us putting things the brain isn't all that good at on a high pedestal.

Ha, I was downvoted and told "why do we need controllers, the iphone and macbook dont come with controllers" yesterday when I said this is stupid without controllers.

I have a vive, q2 and q3. Look at him trying to type on that keyboard. I have hand gestures on my q3. They're nice for a few certain things, but thankfully I can forget they exist for 99% of what I do, that isn't flinging windows/screens left and right and expanding them in front of me. Or turning wifi on and off, etc..

And.. you can't do multiple screens and it has less resolution than my real life monitor when connecting to a mbp.. hm. I thought that was a super cool feature when I thought you could just add monitors wherever. I hadn't even thought of it before they showed it in the demo.

This is about secrets, not data in plain sight, but: Ten years ago while working in a three-star military headquarters, I joked that we could give our adversaries full access to our SharePoint site and NAS on SIPRNet and they'd be more frustrated and confused than before. The volume of junk was just so high, and it was so disorganized, with no version control, and duplicates or slightly different copies of documents all over the place. I couldn't figure out for myself if I should be reading "WAR PLAN 2014.1 v6 (original)-Updated.doc" or "WAR PLAN 2014.1-1 corrected (new)" and there was nobody I could even ask because the people who last modified or uploaded them had all left the organization already.
Store managers are also generally expected to devote their entire lives to the job, and are imminently replaceable. What generosity Walmart may offer is off the backs of the lowest earning workers who frequently require taxpayer assistance to survive, and thus store manager’s bonuses are subsidized by the local communities Walmart most likely harmed by setting up shop to begin with. None of this is as simple as n=$$$ so Brand X is morally justified. It’s all symptoms of larger societal issues.
>...and you're served the relevant ads.

Should probably correct this to:
...and the analysis yields a personality model that helps best manipulate you

That it is currently being used for relevant ads is just one outcome, incidentally also an attempt at manipulating you, but that's more my disdain for the ad industry talking.
I’m sure that this is merely a first-pass filter and not a case of arrest warrants being automatically issued based on usage (although I’m sure that will come soon enough).
One advantage: more privacy with the Vision Pro. Even for innocuous content I feel self-conscious about people seated nearby being bored and watching over my shoulder.
Doesn't the RP2040 require external qspi flash? What does that cost?

MCP2200 is ~$2.50 in single units and you don't have to deal with firmware or programming.

Yeah, but at least Apple focuses on privacy
Are you talking about status pages of huge organization (full-time 24/7 staff monitoring everything like https://news.cision.com/ericsson/i/screens-and-employees-in-...) or smaller companies?

We (small company) have a status page and in case of emergency we can hardly act fast enough to both fix and keep everybody updates, so the first post will be more like "we're investigating" so people don't email us.
Thanks, i did not know..
Out of curiosity, what are you using for work on your Quest? I also have a Q2 and have tried, maybe not too seriously, several of the screen sharing apps to do work but couldn't quite get past the resolution and lag. Perhaps that has gotten better since, it's been some time.

Instead now I use it for entertainment and very much like it, but if I could make that next leap it would be great!
I could imagine that might have been why it came about originally but that line of thinking doesn't seem to justify the R&D spend alone. I'd imagine they have some belief in it being able to make new business of its own.

If I'm not mistaken this is the first properly post-Steve product?
What a sad outlook on life. If you find so little enjoyment and consider life something that you _condemn_ people to, then it's probably an incredible win for everyone else that you don't have kids.
You just reminded me of my interview for my Trusted Traveler in 2020 when I forgot about a trip to Morocco when listing my international travel. The way the interviewer raised it, I thought I was going to be sent to Guantanamo.
well my context was a lot of people in the thread bitching about how the technology could maybe be dangerous and people might die from the implants 20 years later from brain damage. But nobody mentioning all the cool shit that you can do with it, so its probably worth the risks.

just like cars, planes, surgery, etc. theyre all dangerous as fuck but were worth the risk.

Sorry, but I'm unclear on what your point is.

>Consciousness is a result of multiple conditions, including mind

What do you mean by consciousness that's different from the mind? I see the two as synonymous.
Pains me to think about what this sucker would cost with controllers (which I agree are needed for many VR experiences).
Great point! The 3 person conversation is a super interesting point, since then the user can take more of a passive role and only occasionally intervene.

Why not?
I think this is like a modern example of the Apple Newton in the sense it's impressive, has uses, but it too soon to be widely adopted.

I think this device will flounder, early adopters will struggle to make full use of it because of all the compromises. Take it on the plane? Why? It will run out of power in 1-2 hrs (if you remembered the full charge before you board). Lugging all that bulk just for a movie on the plane while you look like a black mirror drone.

Then there is TV, it's great if you live by yourself, but what couple has $7k to drop so they can watch TV together. For ~2hrs.

Office work? No thanks, I can't wear that all day and actually be productive.

It's an amazing accomplishment, but who is it for? The ~200k wealthy people who mostly live by themselves isn't going to fulfill an AR revolution for Apple.

I wonder what Jobs would have done.
Ray tracing on 8-bit retro hardware
An old BASIC program, with full explanation
I’m building a thing now and I have to say the last thing I’d consider is a status page. Great idea in theory. But the world today sucks and all it does is open you up to, at best, endless complaining. At worst you get the script kiddies who think now, now is the time to attack. You get media and bloggers demanding quotes about how you failed to anticipate a 10000% increase in traffic overnight. And you get “shareholder rights” litigants (if you’re public) demanding compensation for depriving them of $0.0003 in revenue per share for the twenty minutes it took to fix the problem.

Far better to focus on fixing the problem and apologizing to the paying customers afterwards.
The first time I see someone in my doctor's office waiting room with one of those on, I'm whipping out my phone, pointing it right at them, and hitting "record." If they complain at all, then I'll start asking them for their personal information. "What's your name? What brings you to this particular doctor's office today?"
This is exactly what I wanted to do. But I didn't know how. I looked into it with Stripe and they said they would have to authorize a payment every day and if this happens on a big scale it could trigger some bad stuff and lock it from working. Then I thought maybe I can create a community where if you don't post a message proving you did it this will trigger the transaction, but again it was very complicated. This is my first app and I am using off the shelf tools.

But hey, if you know how I could do this, please tell me and I am gonna do it.

About the charity I disagree, if the money goes to charity you will feel good about failing.
compared to what, the rest of the economy or political establishment?

the difference is that the people getting screwed over were judged guilty of crimes by a jury of their peers or other due process.
"individuals to delve into others private decisions" - you mean private decisions like, the decision to have an abortion, who to sleep with, or what pronouns to use? We are waaaay past that point.
Population growth isn't the only variable, there's also housing regulations and zoning that influence how much gets constructed. For example, if property taxes increased quadratically based on property size, then there would be a very strong incentive against mega mansions and towards denser housing.
I use ansible to deploy and sync scripts, services, etc. I think it would work well for you use case as well.
Well the most obvious is that you need some sort of smarts to drive the display. But also you can do a bunch of nice things (aided by a accelerometer):

1. Have custom temp profiles

2. Smarter auto on-off (e.g. cool down when placed down, heat up when picked up)

3. Flip the screen for lefties (I like this feature)

And anything else you can dream of.
I don’t see myself taking any headset anywhere unless it just looks like a pair of glasses.
Correct. The easiest way to calibrate a GPR is to stick a metal plate in the ground and cover it with a few feet of earth dug up on location. Can’t do that with some awkward rovers and an experimental helicopter.

NASA can do some fancy signal processing to get some useful data but until its properly calibrated, any interpretation of that data especially visual should be taken with a Phobos sized grain of salt.
At this stage of the game, I seriously have to ask: is retaining the type rating actually a money-saver for the carriers?

I mean, airlines obtain new types all the time and pilots get trained to fly them. If it were so onerous, selling new aircraft would be practically impossible. (Yes, I know many Airbus share a type classification.)

It feels like there's an historical truth that's now no longer the case, especially when you consider all the associated compromises and, now, the resulting safety & engineering concerns.
That wall of text doesn't change the point of my comment.

Not everything evolves at the speed of TL;DR; attention span folks wish for.
Sounds like the problem is not AI but a society that is structured so that people can only live comfortably if they are economically productive.
Just to clarify:

So it showed that it was recording but it actually wasn't? Then you switched to tutor, clicked on the mic again and it worked?
There isn't much of a point. This just happens to be the best sub-$100 soldering iron you can get, and it costs $20.
This reads a lot like leopardsatemyface. It's an executive order that Biden signed three months ago. If you have a problem with executive orders, I'm sure you also spoke up 6 years ago.
I'm a novice, but from the research I've done, the evidence is far from conclusive. There is growing evidence of the negative impact of microplastics on human health in a number of ways, but it is a massive leap to claim it is the primary cause for the phenomena you're describing.

In fact, the biggest contribution to declining birth rates is people have fewer children, not men being incapable of having children. And there are plenty of great sociological explanations for that. Changing gender roles, economic mobility, access to birth control, etc.

Edit: As somebody else said, it's a birthrate crisis, not a fertility crisis. "Fertility" is a loaded and inaccurate framing.

PSS: Even crisis is loaded. It just leads to people channeling their existing personal insecurities into large scale social phenomena.
Don't Use Moving Averages
Gnome Code of Conduct
The GNOME code of conduct is just so toxic, I encourage people to disobey it deliberately in protest, e.g. by making some offensive jokes.

" Influencing or encouraging inappropriate behavior. If you influence or encourage another person to violate the Code of Conduct, you may face the same consequences as if you had violated the Code of Conduct. " - I encourage other people to violate the Code of Conduct, in an act of disobedience, as long as they stay within the law.
You're in for a wild surprise then. I almost envy that.
>I actually think the declining birth rate is rooted in the narrative that humans are ruining the earth

I think this is unconvincing. People may cite this in a survey, but this is not how the vast, vast majority of people make a decision like this one. In my opinion, modernity has been increasing quality of life in developed nations for a long time, and recently it's begun a downturn - nothing can increase forever. It's not dramatic, but it is enough to cause a strong conflict with expectations, and one of the first things to go is the giving of your life to children.
The assumption of continued economic growth is what makes the numbers in dodgy ponzi economic theory work. Society will have to go to ever increasing extremes to make it work. At some point the cost of that will exceed even the imagined gains and the economy will implode. Politically people don’t want their dose of reality so we’re stuck in a boom/bust business cycle of ever increasing amplitude. The rollercoaster we can’t get off. I think we’re already at the limits of what can be done and the social fabric keeping things together does appear to be at a breaking point.

>Indexing content provides a useful service that content owners benefit from

I'm not sure about that. The Google Index put a lot of existing content creators out of business, like local newspapers. They certainly did not see this great benefit of a Google index. Even today, given the insanely low ad rates, because it's impossible to generate income from public content (hence the rise of paywalled subscription services) no content creator is making any money - and yet, Google is still worth a trillion dollars. And yes, there's also the fact that in the last decade or so, Google has started side-stepping the content providers by simply providing 'inline answers' and 'AMP caches'

So no, I don't see much difference between Generative AI and your 'traditional' aggregation services.

When I was a kid, 7 or 8, my Dad would give me 50p to go down to the local pub and buy him 20 cigarettes and a half-pound bar of chocolate (I was not allowed to enter the pub, but there was a take-away window near the entrance), total cost 48p. When I returned home he always said "and where's my change?"
I don't understand your reply.

Yes, my suggested solution applies to everyone. I suggested it to you because you have fear, many people do not.

The solutions certainly lower individual risk.

It also sounded ironic to me, I thought others might notice and appreciate the irony in my suggestion.

I don't understand how "Vertrauensgrundsatz" applies here.

Just discovered today standard ANSI escape sequences work on Windows 10 command prompt. Even 24-bit color works fine!

Try (not possible to copy paste, see [1]):

echo ^[[48;2;255;0;0mHello^[[0m

Hello is printed with a red (RGB(255,0,0)) background. "^[[0m" resets back to normal colors.

[1]: You can type ^[ (escape) by pressing CTRL-'['. Don't type ^ and [ as separate chars, that won't work.
Medical malpractice insurance has only limited economies of scale. It's still possible for solo practitioners or small partnerships to afford in most cases. This isn't the biggest factor in driving provider market consolidation.

The real factors driving consolidation are IT costs, negotiating power, and practitioner preferences. Even with modern SaaS products it's expensive for a small organization to operate an EHR and other IT infrastructure. Payer organizations have consolidated through M&A activity and are constantly trying to drive down prices so providers also consolidate to force payers to keep them in network regardless of prices. And many doctors just don't want to manage a small business; they would prefer to focus on treating patients and collect a steady paycheck.

Your family members are wrong. There are standard file formats for sharing medical records across different software. The most common format is HL7 Continuity of Care Document (CCD) which can accommodate an entire patient chart in a single XML file. Every major EHR has supported CCD export and import for years under federal government certification criteria. If your family members had to do manual data entry then either their software wasn't configured correctly or they didn't know how to use it.

In this case the information is not provided to the government. It is purchased. The distinction is the difference between an unexpected gift versus an overt act, and thus a search warrant would apply in the context of the FBI.
Congress has the enumerated right to regulate commerce. This, being an executive order, is not an act of Congress. Consider the agencies you may be thinking of: FDA, FTC, FCC, etc. All have actual laws defining their scope. This is an overreach of the executive.
I've built an MVP similar to this when GPTs came out, but somehow I just did not find it very appealing and I have the same experience with this one.

I wonder if it's the delay or just the bleak conversation with an AI. Might get to usable level for me once LLMs get faster and more fun. (Twitter model maybe? :D)
I’ve been. It’s nothing special.
While I agree in general that shell script is not usually fun to read, this particular code is really not bad.

Not sure if this will sway you, but for what it's worth, I did read the bash script before running it, and it's actually very well-structured. Functionality is nicely broken into functions, variables are sensibly named, there are some helpful comments, there is no crazy control flow or indirection, and there is minimal use of esoteric commands. Overall this repo contains some of the most readable shell scripts I've seen.

Reflecting on what these scripts actually do, it makes sense that the code is fairly straightforward. At its core it really just wants to run one command: the one to start QEMU. All of the other code is checking out the local system for whether to set certain arguments to that one command, and maybe downloading some files if necessary.
When all plane seats seem to have power these days, is the battery in a plane really a limitation? Can’t it charge while being used?
Agreed in principle, but I think it is possible that JACK or PipeWire have a slightly better implementation that has more mechanistic sympathy with the kernel.

Maybe pipewire's use of DMA-BUF lets it deliver to the audio device faster, or maybe jack has a slightly better event loop/thread architecture. (Just making up random hypothesis here; these aren't real claims.)

It's not going to deliver miracles; you're right that these two systems attempt very similar tasks. But there is some variance of implementation, and likely both of these systems have some small overhead. Maybe jack already delivered the absolute best responsiveness that could be possible in the kernel, had found every iota of optimization to make, and no new possibilities have emerged in the 20 years since. Or maybe jack already was p100 responsive to 0.00001ms, small enough to be effectively zero.

You're totally correct that the kernel is the limiting factor. But with audio we need p100, buffer underruns are never acceptable, and maybe one architecture let's us run stably with a slightly smaller buffer then the other architecture.
