If we're talking China, it's banned. But people use VPNs so they may only get messages when their VPN is on.

For sending messages, does it take a long time to get the first check mark, or the second? The first is shown when your message is delivered to WhatsApp, the second when the recipients device receives it (assuming they don't disable it for privacy).
See the video in the OP at timestamp 5:00 to 5:20. The review from The Verge touched on it as well; essentially, at the end of the day, it's still a bunch of displays showing you camera feeds of the real world. And both displays and cameras have a lot of flaws—low field of view, motion blur, pixelation in low lighting, and a much more limited set of colors compared to our actual eyes.

VR avoids this since they just make up their own designed world instead, while most AR glasses avoid this by having actual transparent glasses and reflecting images off them instead. The Vision Pro is more ambitious and tries to pull off both AR and VR, resulting in these compromises.

You need someone who understands PPC on the interview, even if you don't need to hire someone of that level or expertise.

Otherwise they can just unfortunately obscure performance and the way they manage their accounts won't be clear.

There's some good advice in this thread but some of the specifics aren't consistent with current best practice.

Assuming Starlink is really willing to violate local frequency licensing requirements (which I doubt they'd dare for all but the most internationally isolated countries without anti-satellite weapons), given the low transmit powers, local wireless jammers should be relatively easy to implement.

Ask yourself: Why would an alternative method be required.

Typing "fritz.box" into a browser without an internet connection will not accomplish anything. To even get an IP address for "fritz.box" there needs to be either (a) an appropriate entry in /etc/hosts assuming the browser does not ignore /etc/hosts, (b) a DNS server on a loopback address or (c) a DNS server on the local network, _and_ the DNS server needs to have the IP address for "fritz.box" (so the person would have to know the address already, before connecting to the internet) _and_ the browser has been configured to use that local DNS server.

To demonstrate, assuming there is not a DNS server listening on the loopback address 127.23.59.88, change the DNS settings in the operating system to 127.23.59.88. Then try typing "fritz.box" to set up the router.

The reason an "alternative" method is provided in the instructions is because without an internet connection, typing "fritz.box" will not accomplish anything except generating an error.

The reason the company suggests that people type "fritz.box" instead of an IP address is likely because the operator of "fritz.box" website is advertising NFTs for sale. Not to mention the data collection the operator of fritz.box and potentially their marketing partners will gain with respect to people who own these routers. For example, everytime someone is configuring their router and types "fritz.box" the operator of "fritz.box" website gets to know about it.

The "alternative" method is the most reliable method, and the most private one. If we review the manuals for thousands of routers, we learn it is the most common method.
In most cases, they don't fix, they decommission in place or run as degraded and that's likely automated. (They might pull a whole rack if enough servers in it die, but that's rare.)

It is baffling just how well RGB rendering works despite it being such a huge hack; many real-world scenes are practically indistinguishable between rgb and spectral rendering. But still I find the physically based rendering pretty disingenuous considering the huge gap still remaining between real-world and standard pbr although I accept that it is just a domain-specific term that shouldn't be taken too literally.

Just to spark discussion, here is one example of research aiming to reduce that gap and bring more physicality: https://ssteinberg.xyz/2023/03/27/rtplt/

> Two points are randomly and uniformly selected on a line 0.0 to 1.0. What is the most probable distance between the two points?

Unless I am reading this wrong, I think all values between 0 and 1 have an equal probability (of 0).

The probability that a random uniform variable will equal any number between 0 and 1 is zero. It seems to follow that the probability of the difference between two uniform variables equaling any exact value would also be 0.

Have I missed something obvious? If zero really is the correct answer, that is pretty tricky.

Without any claim to the accuracy of the data, there is no incentive to list a salary on the LCA that is higher than required. You can always pay more, never less, so it only limits future flexibility. I have certainly paid higher salaries to individuals than what's listed on their LCA, not to mention total packages which aren't stated on the LCA.

Not yet. For now, "direct-to-cell" and its competitors are all about text/voice/low-data-rate applications in areas that so far haven't had any coverage at all, given the extremely low signal strength involved due to the extreme distances, low transmission powers, and omnidirectional device antennas.
Starlink blocks access to specific countries that it doesn't have approval to work in, so I presume they'll just be blocked while the totalitarian regimes are in power.

Again, no. You completely somehow forgot tech in late 2000s lol.

The internet on anything mobile was pretty painful when it launched in general. Websites weren't optimized for mobile, mobile data was unusably slow. Most people who wanted portability were using things like netbooks, which you could actually multitask on.

Blackberry was the goto for actual phone because it was much easier to type on due to the best keyboard at the time, well developed software for things like email, basic browser, e.t.c.

> I once considered building a ДВК clone to play with and to teach my kids some proper assembly

I actually built a custom board with a K1801VM1 a while back to teach my son programming basics from the ground up. It's slow as molasses, but great at this purpose. The PDP-11 ISA is simple and comprehensible, as well as the 1801 microarchitecture. Underclocking and a few LEDs in the key points of the board can easily illustrate the entire process; it's very direct and you can almost physically see it "thinking" under the hood. We used that board to drive our Christmas lights and for simple games before moving to something more high-level.

Actually, this spec security bug was added with C11. But nobody really added it, until gcc decided that this new "feature" needs to be supported around C23 time. C23 tried to mitigate that mess by disallowing non-identifiable normalization variants, but still does not care about Unicode security guidelines.

In a walkable city you go by a store every time you go outside - you come back from work, you pass by a store or two where you can buy fresh groceries. This has also an impact on healthy diet, giving access to fresh goods which wouldn't possibly last a month and thus wouldn't get eaten if people drive shopping every few weeks.
Difficulty is relative and practice makes perfect. People love to compare difficulty of processes, metals, positions etc. They’re all hard without practice. They’re all easy with a lot of practice. If you just want to fuse some metal it can be very frustrating to fight with the welder and get nowhere. But if you’re deliberately practicing, getting hundreds of hours under the hood, you will get good. The other crucial component is that other humans have worked out how to weld metals effectively and have documented it. There are tons of handbooks and manuals, detailing which techniques and consumables you should be using for a given weld. Combine that with lots of time under the hood, and you’ll be making phenomenally good welds without difficulty.

The situation in Iran is somewhat different. Despite being under heavy international sanctions and having a government that also exercises strict control over internet access, Iran saw the deployment of Starlink terminals following specific events, such as natural disasters or in response to certain socio-political situations. This deployment could be part of a broader strategy by the U.S. or other entities to provide uncensored internet access to the Iranian population during times of crisis. However, it's important to note that such deployments might be temporary, unofficial, or not fully sanctioned by the Iranian government.

I really don't understand the first paragraph,

> Researchers in Switzerland have transmitted and received optical data at rates of more than 10 Tbit/s between an Alpine peak and an observatory at the University of Bern – a distance of 53 kilometres. This is more than five times further than would be needed to set up a satellite-to-ground communication link

Google says Starlink satellites are 550km in altitude... Is this to do with turbulence below 10km?
Genuinely curious. Did it mean that Musk wanted the money to be taken from shareholders and be given him instead? That cannot be legal right? Even for the most capitalistic systems. Or am I getting it wrong?
> The original iPhone was a better phone...

?!? The audio quality wasn't somehow different, but the feature set surrounding the phone sucked: it didn't have ring tone profiles / called groups and so was pretty infuriating versus a basic Nokia phone in addition to having a fraction of the battery life, a worse form factor to hold up to your ear, and a fundamentally more fragile construction. It also was pretty pathetic at text messages, as it didn't have any support for MMS (which was already shipping on competing devices). Notably and critically, even a cheap Nokia candy bar phone could do the most basic texting feature of sending a single message to multiple people at once... somehow the iPhone shipped without that? Even the most basic things like "at least you will be able to store a ton of text messages finally as the device had a LOT of storage" somehow were thwarted: Apple implemented some stupid arbitrary limit of I think it was only 1000 messages before it started deleting old ones!! I just can't believe you think the original iPhone was a better phone than it's contemporary competitors.

I had the first Occulus when it came out. Big hit at my workplace. Anything flashy is going to get attention.

I doubt satellites will be competing with land-based networks in general because they can't deliver the same throughput, latency, and capacity.

In addition, as others have mentioned, companies do not like to take on whole countries unless perhaps it is a very small and irrelevant one.
I love when companies founded in the heart of capitalism do something incredibly capitalist, and people are surprised about it.
Sometimes it's like people don't see that radical capitalism does eventually lead to pandering to any government that has money or resources.

1) you can do this on Mac, it's the default.

2) you can install macos without an iCloud login. No special commands needed, just "not now"

3) yeah this you cannot do. but other than xcode I don't actually get anything from the store because you don't need to

4) this is true for Mac, you only need to pay to get the binary signed. Does ms give you signing without paying?

5) WSL2 is a hypervisor run Linux. You can do that on Mac too, there's a few options but orbstack is the one I use, super nice. However, for command like stuff you don't need Linux because macos is Unix anyway so you can just install most stuff natively

6) you don't even need xcode you can use the GCC toolchains

It seems pretty par for the course tbh except not being able to natively run unix tools on windows is a pita

I feel the key question is not that if they’re better, but if people are using them more and more often than plugins.

And in particular, if they’re using the ones that aren’t just a custom system prompt. Because I really doubt there’s any big business in commercializing system prompts.

My hunch right now is that GPTs have made it clear that OpenAI should let user save multiple system prompts, but that there’s no real defensible business in distributing GPTs, as a chat interface is not that good for most purposes.

I'd also guess that China and Russia are big enough that satellites would go unused a lot while flying over them.

While Iran isn't tiny (17th largest country), the satellites have several other territories nearby by that could use up the capacity that a no-Iran rule makes available.

Gating factors: My concern is mainly that this will need another generation of chip miniaturization to get the headset lighter AND more performant AND using less power -- and may require a faster bus between the chips.

Win/lose factors: Probably enough people will buy it to make it not a financial mistake. But the big win is that developers will have to start solving the problems with this device, and only those using this device will have solutions under their belt. To get to VR + 3D media, go through Apple?

> So why not just grant H1-Bs to the companies that are willing to pay their talent the most?

As others have pointed out, you're assuming highest salary == most valuable, but what your idea will lead to is a bunch of talented people working on new ways to get people to click ads or write yet-another trading algorithm.

IMHO, you'd fix the H1-B program by doing two things:

1. Eliminate the requirement that the visa-holder have a sponsor past the start date, so the they can quit immediately and take a different job if they are underpaid or the working conditions are poor. That will eliminate any potential exploitation enforced by the program.

2. Limit the sponsors to legitimate US-based companies who will employ the workers for in-house work. Working out a precise definition may be hard, but it should be possible because it's pretty clear when we see it. Basically, something to prevent foreign contracting/outsourcing companies from even using the program.
