Maybe we can still call it a shortage if there's some unexpected and/or temporary reduction in supply or increase in demand. You could still buy oil during the 1970s oil crisis but it still was a shortage.

Or it can mean that there's insufficient supply to meet demand at a "reasonable" price.
Yep, it's a good catch.

Hard-to-grok errors tend to appear for every language and every backwards-compatible change unless the language itself specifies the target version in the source code file itself. The only language I know is doing this is Solidity.
You can't do it with autonomy, and you can't do it with remote piloting, but you can do it with a mix of both. That's my assertion. Spending 20 hours looking at Nebraska / Illinois farm fields is not the use case for remote operation - and as you say, you lack the infra for that anyway. And navigating traffic or interacting with distribution center logistics is not the case for autonomous operation - it's an infra nightmare to get a autonomous vehicle to integrate with all that radio-voice-comms madness. Even OTR drivers just want to get that part of the journey over with and get back to the hotel.

Having a pod with local drivers near major hubs, for example, means the drivers take over when the trucks get close enough for it to matter. It wont' work for delivery to, say grocery stores (which can be local driving anyway), but it will work for center-to-center transport ala between Walmart hubs. It's the long haul OTR trucking that has high attrition / people shortages, because you're away from family for so long. That little bit can be somewhat autonomous, with handoff of remote operators only near hubs. Think air-traffic-control for trucks and hubs, except probably more hands on than just telling it what to do.
And it would have been more documented.

New sales is not only source of revenue

Netflix sells plans for higher resolutions for example

If some just have say a laptop screen and a phone you consume content on there is little need for higher resolution plans.

However let's say you buy VP then it is possible you would consider upgrading to higher resolution.
it was always appropriate to lie and make up a fake age / date of birth on those signup pages.
I can't think of a news story in the past two decades where a personal response in two hours would have been more beneficial than one in two weeks, based on better info. I'd like a latency knob on my news that I can set at around 500 hours. But it'd be nice if there's a loophole for hurricane warnings, etc.

Well, now I can think of some: weather and traffic reports.

I generally agree with you, but I don’t think c) is true. It’s trivial, and most people won’t go the extra mile to make it “native”, but you can properly manage history from JS, can also add accessibility attributes to make it focusable, etc, so any well-implemented DOM elem with a click handler could be just as good as an <a>. Or do you have any other requirements?

Edit: I have replied from an older state of HN, and haven’t yet seen your other comments. Fair enough, didn’t think hard enough of other edge cases, thanks!
what are the implications? does that speed unlock new use cases like new apps or gaming or is stuff just going to be slightly faster?
Given the formula, the ceiling will always be negative. Never good, always terrible. Hence why most people would rather work for Zuck.
Since physical limitarions exist, including time, shortages exist.

We can't simply pay more money to get a personal chef, doctor, and pilot for everyone, even if there was a magical infinite source of compensation to pay them.
There is a non-insignificant number of people that would never buy or use a Meta product because of their data and privacy issues. The Quest 3 is nowhere close to the AVP simply because of that.
Why? Because they have to to maintain their logistics network to continue operating and making money.

They have a business that prints money so they can afford to pay more to continue operating.

People will stop going to Walmart if they can’t stock the shelves, or raise prices because they use other shippers that charge more.
It's also good to note that all popular editors and IDEs like Visual Studio Code and PyCharm support type hints quite well by default. Some external tooling needed, but it's your editor and you are going to have any case.

>Only labour gets the special shortage definition seen here.

Isn't this backwards? This is the colloquial plain-language use of "shortage" (though intentionally misleadingly and wrongly used by employers), you're talking about a technical economics-only definition.
I'm not sure what the killer app for this headset will be, but watching movies/tv shows on it is not it. The most obvious reason being that a passive movie/tv watching experience is already possible on a much cheaper Quest headset and it has not been a success.

For me a killer app needs to make use of the AR capabilities of the headset to justify the cost.
> I may be an outlier but in our house the only time we watch shows or movies is a social context--usually Friday or Saturday nights as a family.

There's a very clear cultural divide here. You missed a very important point in TFA:

> If you live in Asia, like you live in Taiwan, people don’t have big homes, they don’t have 85-inch screen televisions. Plus, you have six, seven, eight people living in the same house, they don’t get screen time to watch things so they watch everything on their phone.

(Emphasis mine.)

Basically, the point is that watching TV in VR will probably be very popular in Asian markets.
I worked on this a bit! As an summer intern at SCEE in 2004, I port the Eyetoy driver to PS2 linux. Sadly, it had some legal issues due to some proprietary code in the original drivers, and it ended up not getting released.

Apple sells the story that with their technologies it's easy to port apps between platforms. Sometimes they do the work themselves to make it seem like that's the case, too. So the reason that users expect it is that Apple has conditioned them to think that it is the case.

The only protection in the Us is technically “collection of personal information” via COPPA[0] which you can argue would kneecap social media. Any parent can provide consent for their child, however. Children themselves can also just click the button that says they are over 13 if it gets them what they want.

On the topic of cherry picking and vapes, one of the biggest absurdities is that it's now cheaper and more convenient to purchase meth or fent in San Francisco than it is a flavored vape. I can respect people having different levels of libertarian or public health concerns than me, but there's absolutely no consistent pairing of them that should result in vapes being more restricted than fentanyl.

So much spilled ink reading tea leaves, i.e., tortured historical analogies. We have market data on existing headset efforts, and we will have data on the adoption of the Vision Pro very soon. I'm not sure who this analysis benefits other than firms catering to day traders.
The FCC seems to get around that pretty easily not allowing nipples on Tv.
First sentence I agree with, but I don’t understand your hypothetical. #2 is what usually happens, and non-co-founder very high level early employees don’t usually get 50% or anywhere close. If the original founder made any progress and has anything of value in the first six months, a 2nd co-founder may not get 50% in either case.
Glad to see more awareness of this type of thing
The spirit of the analogy holds, as there are plenty of clear alternatives that map verbatim:

- drinking glass that is 99% hole-free

- car that doesn't explode 99% of the time

- bag of candy where 99% of the pieces are not poisonous

In all of these cases, it's more optimal to start from scratch and build something that you know is 100% reliable than to start with whatever already exists and try to fix it after-the-fact.

Personally, I use AI to assist development, especially in unfamiliar stacks, but in the form of a discussion rather than code-vomit. It's primarily synthesizing documentation into more-specific whole answers and providing options and suggestions.
How about redistributing the CO2 tax as cuts in payroll and income taxes? That would benefit the working population and create a lot of replacement jobs.
I think that describes the dream-scenario of Apple: Making a controlled AR/VR in front of your eyes so ubiquitous that not only TV-sales and cinemas disappear, but companies no longer advertise on screens and billboards and instead pay Apple to rent advertising real-estate on "personal screens" of their target-group...

The scary thing is that noone is better equipped to achieve this dystopian goal than Apple, already entering the space with a fully protected walled garden...

If I'd be Netflix (or even Disney), I wouldn't rush to support such a future...
The iPhone launched with a phone, email and an internet browser (not limited to the mobile internet) in your pocket. I think those were the killer apps, where each one had already proved their value in other form factors.

I think part of the focus on apps is because while portable connectivity is an easier feature for most people to understand and appreciate (though I appreciate this may not have been quite as clear in 2007), wearability is less so, especially where the form factor is socially and ergonomically awkward. Working in AR/VR I know my team is constantly asking variations of "how can we convince someone to put this on their face?" My interpretation of pieces like this is often that they echo underlying concerns over the efficacy of use-cases, and decisions by players like Netflix to port their apps is some (albeit noisy and incomplete) data around it.

I think a lot of that comes from the perception where the horse was replaced by the automobile for casual travel.

Logically when you then are creating media where cars don't exist, you're going to need to create an equivalent and it's "common knowledge" that horse carriages were the big thing cars replaced. So you instead get a horse, something that whilst obviously much slower than a car, still gives the impression of "this lets you move faster" than how a human would walk on foot.

There's also the image of the most famous start/stop horse network of all: the Pony Express, which probably played a part in setting up this imagery - for an onlooker, postal workers would travel from one side to the other on a single horse, permitting (for the time) very fast deliveries. In reality it was a series of well maintained stables and lots of start-stop segments to keep a horse in good condition, but that's not something you're going to notice if you're not a mailman.

(The Pony Express also wasn't sustainable and went bankrupt rather quickly, but it's legacy is pretty lasting.)
Hearing is pretty essential if you're a pedestrian, when you're not in an environment with sidewalks and traffic lights everywhere. When I'm walking around where I live (in two different countries) I have to constantly be aware of traffic sounds behind me. I can think of a number of other situations where lack of hearing would be a disadvantage, or downright dangerous.

You can live without a sense of smell too. But I for one find it extremely useful when a quick sniff tells me some food stuff which otherwise looks fine has actually gone off.
> My inner VR enthusiast thinks the Apple Vision is cool but my inner realist wonders if anyone is really going to use anything beyond smart glasses.

My personal prediction - smart glasses as a smartphone replacement, AR/VR headsets as a poweruser workstation machine replacement.

The market segments map out nicely with your prediction as well - almost everyone has a smartphone of some kind (just like i expect almost everyone to have some sort of smart glasses in the future), while a relative minority (even though it is a large one) has poweruser workstation machines (just like with AR/VR headsets in my prediction).

That is, until at least the tech gets insane enough to allow packing full functionality of an AR/VR headset into the form factor of glasses, with an insane battery life to boot. I don’t see that happening in any foreseeable future though, sadly, barring some transformational and unexpected battery chemistry breakthroughs.
Isn't 6 figures the new 'living wage' in many areas?
Nobody bought an Apple Watch because they wanted something on their wrist that told time and were underserved by that. I say this as someone who bought the first version and actually does like something on my wrist that tells time. People bought it for the digital enhancements, which started out kind of confused but got more clear with time (health, notifications).
What's your source for that? Apple subscriptions also dwarf the next closest provider. I don't think Apple users care about paying once or more than once so long as they have access on all their devices.
'Butterfly effect' may explain some genetic causes of autism
Pretty good for the expensive ones. They are not video games though, and so they are not making the shortcuts games do to make them fun. I've driven a few (snow plow, excavator) and they are very hard to control - then I see someone who drives that machine professionally get on: they get a near perfect score and comment about how real it feels. Note that part of the sim is the controls: they take the cab from a real machine and replace the windshield with a screen (for version 1, often version 2 starts to take away parts, but everything you touch including the seat is the real thing).

I've long thought that to renew your drivers license you should have to spend a day every few months in a simulator to prove you can drive safely. Do you maintain a safe following distance? Can you maintain the speed limit? Do you stop for pedestrians? Do you zipper merge correctly? Here is a situation where someone else screwed up and you will crash, can you choose the best crash? Here is an icy road, can you control the car? there is a lot that modern simulators can do but few people have used them.
Do drivers care about route variety? I don't think it's like flying where you can get a little mini vacation on your route.
The Mythical Man-Month came out in 1975. It was written after the development of OS/360, which was released in 1966. Of the many now-universally-acknowledged truths about software development contained in that book, No Silver Bullet encapsulates why "in 20 years" we will still not have a better idea:

There is no single development, in either technology or management technique,
which by itself promises even one order of magnitude improvement within a decade
in productivity, in reliability, in simplicity."

I like to over-simplify that quote down to:

Humans are too stupid to write software any better than they do now.

We have been writing software for 70 years and the real world outcomes have not gotten a lot better than when we started. There are improvements in how the software is developed, but the end result is still unpredictable. Without thorough quality control - which is often disdained, and there is no requirement to perform - the result is often indistinguishable whether it was created by geniuses or amateurs.

That's why I would much rather have "chafing guidelines" that control the morass, than to continue to wade through it and get deeper and deeper. If we can't make it "better", we can at least make it more predictable, and control for the many, many, many problems that we keep repeating over and over as if they're somehow new to us after 70 years.

"Guidelines" can't stop researchers from exploring new engineering materials and techniques. Just having standard measures, practices, and guidelines, does not stop the advancement of true science. But it does improve the real-world practice of engineering, and provides more reliable outcomes. This was the reason professional engineering was created, and why it is still used today.
Somewhat... I more often see the ability to run some fixed-function blocks (RTC, as you mentioned; also ADC running scheduled conversions with a digital comparator on conversion calling interrupt, as an example) running at this low a clock, with the model being that these low-speed peripherals wake up something else. Having the ability to run a useful set of peripherals /and/ do arbitrary very slow computations to decide about changing clock isn't universal. As an example, even if you had that capability, if you wanted to wake on a complicated condition of an ADC read, you might end up lower total energy use to wake up on the ADC conversion to the RC filter low-MHz speed, do the your computation, and either go back to sleep or continue to wake further, rather than do the computation itself at 32 kHz -- and certainly the former could be lower latency, depending on the complexity of computation.
The funny thing is, I started to have this unnecessary stress although I am finishing the same amount of tasks. Very disappointing that I have to go thought a boring discussion with the manager about it.
There are very real reasons why increasing the number of connections isn’t a thing and that has to do with the expense of creating and managing a connection server side. In fact switching to HTTP/2 was the largest speed up because you could fetch multiple resources at once. The problem of course is that multiplexing resources over a single TCP connection has head of line problems.

Could this have been solved a different way? Perhaps but QUIC is tackling a number of TCP limitations at once (eg protocol ossification due to middleware).
Something I've noticed in the past few years is the number of homes I've been in without a TV and the use of smart speakers placed throughout instead of a fixed stereo/surround system.

Seems quite a few folks are opting to randomly binge-stream on their laptop as vegging out on the TV is a thing of the past for them, so no need to have their living space dominated by these types of electronics.

Are the points worthless for them to have such a flippant view of security?

> there's a shortage ... at the going wage

I don't see how we can argue over the problem statement.
We can argue over the solutions, of which there are infinite, but at least two:

1. increase wages

2. decrease shittiness of the job via ideas like mine

Or why not both? The only dichotomy here is a false one you've introduced.
Not to nitpick, but I found this is a bit ironic:

"Phrasing works by finding you two documents, in two different languages, and connecting them sentence by sentence with eachother. While we're add it, we clean things up, score them, and analyze their relevance in each language."
If you didn't know, this was primarily a tax dodge for the EU. Since it ran Linux, they felt they could classify the PlayStation 2 as a general-purpose computer, which receives a lower tariff rate than game consoles. PlayStation 3 had OtherOS for the same purpose, until the EU rejected the claim and reclassified it as a game console, and then Sony pulled support for OtherOS (it also being primarily a vehicle for piracy certainly didn't help).

Your usage of these terms in completely unconventional and wacky.

> You need to draw the whole frame every frame

This isn’t even true at a high level. You can composite buffers. That’s not exotic. That’s a fundamental operation.

But insofar as needing to actually do all your draw calls at once - that is literally what "immediate" in immediate mode means.

> Vulkan and OpenGL

They don’t specifically retain state - they’re immediate. That’s what immediate mode means. What something higher up does has nothing to do with it.

What would you even consider immediate mode by your definition?

> so you need to retain the state of everything in the frame so you can draw it.

That state can be a procedure and a handful of variables (which in the extreme is all a shader). The point is Vulkan and OpenGL have no say over the nature of that state.

The issue with attributing failure, no matter how little suffering there is, is that it provides a huge incentive to not self report and/or downplay incidents.

Unless you are acting with malice, your actions are a product of the system and procedures in place. Those should be the focus of improvement, not individuals. E.g. preventing prod pushes that contain unreviewed code.

Of course we need to talk about individuals, but that's performance management and not incident management.
