Completely agree, the point of life isn't to reduce risk to zero - it's to make life wildly abundant and beautiful. Joy and creativity should be prioritized heavily over safety. That doesn't mean you don't have safety as a priority, it just means joy should factor more heavily into the equation.

I doubt much progress and improvement would be made simply by increasing lifespan. Comparatively, if you inspire a generation of kids to be pioneers and explorers I imagine you see a vast improvement in technological advancements and social progress.

These things are hard, if not impossible, to measure, but I don't think it takes too much extrapolation from other measurable events to find this to be true.
Wow, this is totally awesome! I like that you work with the Bun and Deno runtimes.
Why do you think humans can’t be delivered to Mars? I’m not aware of any deal breakers.
The Apple watch was 100% post-Steve, conception to delivery [0]. This is definitely the first post-Jony Ive product though. (Rumors are that Ive was against the idea of doing a headset from the start, so it happened either without him, or after he left, depending on when it started.)

That's like when I visit a friend who is an accountant and they're working on a laptop in the kitchen 8 hours a day, and I just.. "that's your whole office? You aren't miserable? You can work like that?"

If you have SPF but not DKIM is that sufficient for deliverability to these providers?
> VR gaming has always had an edge because if you value physical immersion (the feeling of being in the game) then it DOES have a significant leg up over traditional gaming.

Good controls on a 2D screen are far more immersive than bad controls on a VR headset. VR makes good controls very hard to do.
Not surprised in the least, and yet I probably trust the NSA with the data more than literally any other customer of those data brokers. Not that I trust the NSA all that much.

2. no, it doesn‘t tell what color. It simply says dark or light. Who knows which color fits into the rest of the system? The web author certainly cannot know that.
For that purpose, the difference between the Q2 and Q3 was so vast that I cannot oversell it. While it's still not perfect due to the resolution, the switch to pancake lenses made screencasting to the Q3 something I could do for many hours at a time and enjoy it, whereas on the Q2 with the limited sweet spot in the center, it was really only for very specific use cases. On the Q2, even slightly off center becomes unreadable; on the Q3, you can move your eyes right to the panel border and still read text at the edge. The main use case is heavy multitasking with Confluence, Jira and an IDE in full-sized windows.
Doesn't sound familiar, no, but I have my watch history off. So I don't think I get "for you" recommendations.

I just searched for chicken tikka masala on the android app and got nothing but cooking/recipe videos.

So try turning off your watch history? Or at least start it over?

The other suggestion I have is check the videos you "liked" to make sure you didn't accidentally hit "like" on one of these videos. Especially if you don't use the "like" button.
They accepted the EULA, so they know! /s
I've been recommended the deformed baby video a few times recently - it's somewhat reassuring, though worrying, that others are seeing the same thing. I'm especially frustrated about it, as it'll show up inline with search results for otherwise "normal" things (product reviews, music videos, woodworking, etc).
Most accidents are parking lot accidents. The guilty one is only one - the one with moving car.

That being said, accidents where someone died or ended up with injuries are large part of what criminal system deals with.
We know that excessive premature regulation by captive government agencies hurts innovation and empowers competing nations. We don't know that AI companies are growing too fast, or that Something Bad Will Happen if oversight doesn't come soon.

Again, that's not an EHR problem. All modern EHRs support fast SSO and OS security integration. If it takes more than a few seconds to log back in then the fault lies with the customer. They have either configured the system incorrectly or are running on inadequate hardware.

But it isn’t hard to see that people who are constantly glued to their phones scrolling wouldn’t want to just have the screen on their faces instead of holding it. To me it’s the natural evolution of the way we absorb digital info/entertainment
What features aside from session persistence do you use tmux for? I partially moved to emacs because I was annoyed with tmux/screen.
Yes, there are other interior point methods besides the ellipsoid method, and virtually all of them perform better for linear programming. Sometimes, the solvers will use these at the root node for very large models, as they can beat out the simplex algorithm. However, I am unsure if any of them has been proven to run in polynomial time, and if so, if the proof is significantly different from the proof for the ellipsoid method.
The point I was mainly trying to make is that there can be a significant gap between practice and theory for ILP. Even 40 years after LP was proven to be polytime solvable, simplex remains the most widely used method, and it is very hard for other methods to catch up.
It seems to be coming out that DNA evidence is not as reliable/accurate as we have been led to believe, so yes if the evidence was illegally obtained and of questionable veracity then we should release anyone who was convicted as a result.
If blame for the whole situation is required, blame the overzealous prosecutors who raced ahead with flimsy, pseudo-scientific evidence.
It's not like this doesn't happen without AI. Thinking of dossiers that have been made infamous in the news. These are things that humans have created based on their interpretation of data. Sometimes they are so outlandish that they also sound like hallucinations. Can I sue OpenAI if their chatbot says there are pee tapes about me?
Why do you assume anyone will be there with you?
I feel like this will be a spectacular flop. It’s the first major new Apple product announcement that I completely forgot about (and I mean completely) in the time between announcement and ordering. Nobody I know is even talking about it, unlike when the Apple Watch came out, or the iPad. The experience needs to be as life-changing as the iPhone if you’re going to normalize people wearing ski goggles around the house… I’m not convinced that it is.
Assuming it lands right side up, of course...

Yeah, so switch it out with a continuous light instead of a flickering one. Why do you need the aesthetic of a candle light, that doesn't even flicker like a candle light anyway, and just turns out to this flickering annoyance that I'd much rather throw out of the window?
I mean, my moral framework may be simple, but it's consistent, and more importantly, it makes it morally impermissible to kill and eat me.

If the giant spiders were unintelligent, they'd not be moral actors, and then eating people might be a bad thing, but it wouldn't be a morally bad (evil) thing.

If their prey weren't intelligent, my moral framework doesn't (currently) include an absolute prohibition on killing and eating animals, so that would be morally acceptable.

But because both the spider and their prey were intelligent, my rules kick in and it is immoral for the spiders to eat people, or vice versa.

(Now, there may be a loophole in that killing people for the purposes of eating them is always unacceptable, but there are circumstances where it is at least forgivable to kill [eg, self defense], and also circumstances where it is likewise acceptable to eat already dead intelligent creatures, but you have to be careful not to create a moral hazard where the killing is done on a pretext.)
The claims of fascism almost all ultimately go back to Nick Land and his stupid writings. The guy is just fashionable nonsense/cultural marxism for the tech-bro. There's almost no other ring wing representation at all within critical theory, and Land is marginalized within those communities. I wish that Mark Fischer had captured the same kind of cultural capital that Nick Land has before he killed himself, because I expected Mark Fischer to be beloved from the "AGI now"/E/acc-ers crowd.

I don't care how unpopular what I'm about to say is becasue it's true, but most "E/acc-ers" are ultimately looking for a world like star-trek, though even they admit it'll look most closely to DS9. I know of almost none who serious advocate for any kind of fascism.
You sound like the Gnome developers!
No this doesn’t matter, they aren’t forcing these companies to collect data they are buying data these companies collect as their business model and thus it is completely legal.
I wonder if an iTV would sell. All mondern smart tvs are covered in ads and spying. monitors of similar sizes cost 3x to 4x. so to me there might be a market for a non spying iTV with bultin Apple TV for say 1.5x. Or not, not sure enough people care about those issues.

We can't force people to care about privacy. That's not the goal. If someone is clearly informed and they still don't care, that's totally fine. The problem is people aren't being clearly informed.
I remember for the first few days no one was saying anything certain. But once the official reports started flowing after those first few days, they were very certain about the fact that the sub had imploded.

Yeah, as a technical person, I was also surprised by what a big impact branding can make.

I am a patient at UTSW in Dallas for over a decade. They seem to have implemented Epic successfully? I even like their mobile app. I can contact all my doctors in UTSW (over a dozen), see my lab results, and ask for refills through the app. Billing is still a bit of a mystery but I believe that is due to balance billing.
People are consenting to this, that’s the issue. We need to change data privacy laws in general, the government buying it isn’t the real problem here it’s that it is for sale at all.
1. What can the average person do to avoid having their personal data collected and sold?

2. How would one go about creating fake data that gets collected and sold?
Same. I find it useless for work stuff. I have a large screen at home and in the office. I don't need to look at a large screen through a heavy headset on my face that I feel bad after wearing for more than 30 min. I also don't find the VR meeting experience better than a zoom call.
Let me guess, you don't have children... It's painfully obvious the people commenting here who have vs don't have kids.

The most vocal [and the most absurd ideas] are sure from people whom this will not affect at all as they don't have kids.
There's no expectation of privacy for garbage, and no fourth amendment protections for it. That's why dumpster diving remains legal as long as you don't break since other law like trespass in the process.
Addendum: you can actually preserve the privacy of which bucket the user is in to all parties if this is sufficiently standardized that it goes through a browser API.

- Have the service generate the request as above, but now the request is "Please encrypt a response with key A for the user coming from ip X.Y.Z.W".

- Service calls a standard browser API with the request, telling the browser it would like to know the user is in the over 16 bucket. Browser prompts the user to verify that they want to let the service know they are over 16. Browser sends the request to the verifier.

- Verifier responds with a token for each bucket the user is in. So a 22 year old gets an over-16 token, an over-18 token, and an over-21 token.

- Browser selects the appropriate response token and gives it back to the service.

So the service only ever learns you are over the age limit they care about, and the verifier only ever learns that you asked for some token, but not which one.
> This is definitely the first post-Jony Ive product though.

Ironic considering, if there is a product whose design arguably should be driven by an obsession with reducing weight and thickness, the AVP is it.
interesting, why not? i thought it's pretty simple that you can create a task with "n your task goes here" and mark it as done with "n -d goes", especially knowing that behind the scenes it's essentially doing "touch ~/notes/your\ task\ goes\ here" and "mv ~/notes/your\ task\ goes\ here ~/notes/done". Which simpler notes taking system do you have in mind?
Could just be survivor bias. I wouldn't be posting here if my neck had broken, most likely.
I'm sorry and I suspect you mean well, but there is no ethical way to utilize coerced/slave labor. If we want to be concerned with rehabilitation we should look at what some successful prisons have done with educational programs. The trick to reducing crime is to help people find a way to live better through legal means than they would through crime.
that's true, I will fix that. thank you!
I stare at screens way too much already. I can't imagine strapping one on my face inches from my eyeballs as substitute for getting real work done on a laptop. My eyes would suffer more than they already do.

I don't think I get the point.

Creative, unstructured play and safety aren't mutually exclusive. A kid doesn't need to get a third degree burn or break an arm to "play better", and those are mostly avoidable risks.

The article also missed on developing this piece of information:

> In urbanised environments, where land is at an all-time premium, finding a place to run around can be a challenge. One in eight children don’t have a garden and nearly 800 playgrounds have closed in the past decade.

The reason why modern playgrounds are sort of "guided" and "safe", is that the very few places they are allowed to be built, are those where "guided" and "safe" are requirements. Kids in an urban environment cannot really play football in the playground because first, there's no enough room for it, and second, the rules of these playgrounds themselves forbid it, as they are written to protect property and lower ownership risks.
I use this minimal one (based on someone's comment a year or three ago that i tweaked):

I think I'd rather buy data about data brokers' executives.
This is a fair point. If the only agency you have is the choice between following marching orders without questions, or unemployment — don't quit.

But I would be surprised if this is the way all EMR software is built. Software development being a creative process, there should always be a feedback loop where managers ask open questions. There lies the agency to recommend spending more time and money, reduce scope in order to guarantee a level you feel comfortable with. You may not get what you bargain for, but it's up to you to decide if it's enough.

Taking the money in return for doing the work is a way of telling your boss you're on the same page. Given your medical context, that may not mean you fully agree, but it evidently means you accepted it.
Not to mention, there is no chance I would ever wear this at home in front of my family. My guess is that many feel the same; it’s just too anti-social and weird. If it can be used for VR/AR, there might be some industrial applications, but Apple seems to be positioning this more as a replacement for monitors.
"Rights" - even those enshrined in the Bill of Rights - are trampled on daily.

Try traveling with a concealed firearm across state lines. Or telling a K-9 police officer they can't search your car after the dog has alerted. Or use your free speech privilege to spread alleged vitriol.

There's no such thing as "rights" - only what individuals can defend in the current place and time they're in.

> I'm especially frustrated about it, as it'll show up inline with search results for otherwise "normal" things (product reviews, music videos, woodworking, etc).

This drives me insane. For some searches, you're not going to find anything near what you're looking for if YouTube decides that their "personalized" search results will be better. I was looking for clips from a comedy podcast once and they refused to show them, they'd only show clips of one of the hosts on other podcasts. It was so odd to break something that worked perfectly fine, especially when it actively decreased my engagement.
Yeah, I keep the batteries inside in the hottest and coldest weather. That cold snap is bookmarked by spring-like weather, and the grass is lush and wet and not fun to walk in.
It's $200 for an extra battery, all of the accessories have a steep early adopter tax. Besides, has anyone confirmed whether or not the AVP has an internal backup battery so you can hotswap the external battery without rebooting it?
If you want to know why many promotions use a code that you must look up online, this is one of the reasons why. It allows the company to control after the fact how many prizes are given out.
Yes but we abandoned that idea a while ago. There are no more green locks in browsers. Nobody buys those expensive certificates that proof ownership. When you curl something it doesn't show anything unless it is an actual invalid certificate.

You are correct that it _should mean_ but reality today is that it doesn't mean anything.

Good idea, I've integrated it
Germany has been doing this since 1979, when mainframes were used to "find terrorists" – i.e., grab a bunch of companies' billing data, and filter for people who were "suspicious" by paying their bills in cash and couldn't be cross-referenced with other government databases, to find people who were (allegedly, surely) using fake identities.

Highly illegal, and put about 18,000 innocent people in the crosshairs of police investigations, but it's for The Greater Good, so nobody ever got punished for it, and today it's done by police agencies for such world-shaking crimes as speeding tickets, participation in legal demonstrations, and substance abuse.

Don't worry, the unfortunate side of the "split" could just start a side-hustle! Maybe another podcast, or OnlyFans account. Everyone has a story to sell, and if not, just make it up!

Yeah certain information held by third parties is already protected by statute such as video tape rental or sale records, or emails held by a service provider for less than 180 days.

> they didn't break much new ground with the xBox

I kind of disagree with this. They made networking and online gaming on consoles finally a thing most home consumers were interested in. Sure, there were some earlier forays into online gaming/networking on previous consoles (SegaNet, for example), but those were generally pretty niche. Sega only included a dial-up adapter by default, while the Xbox shipped with an Ethernet adapter. Shipping the Xbox with Ethernet made networking on the box pretty simple right at the time when people started buying home routers and broadband internet and opened up the console to easy LAN gaming.

Microsoft made Xbox Live a pretty massive feature of the console a year after launch. While Xbox Live launched a year after the console shipped, I'd still say the planning of it and including the Ethernet port was something nobody else in the console gaming world was doing and ended up defining the console gaming future.
