> My current setup is 3x monitors + a laptop screen to the side at the office and 3x monitor + a wall-mounted television in my home office.

Well, that only leaves one question: Why so few monitors?

More seriously, I'd be really interested to hear your system for arranging things across all that real estate and how you use it optimally.

I used to have 2.5 monitors (two widescreens + a laptop off to the side) --- but after several moves, the inexorable passage of time, and my growing laziness, I now just spend my workdays hunched over a single laptop.
What does "handing out value" in this context mean? Are you talking about the visas? The investment dollars?
Takes me back.

One of my earliest "big" gigs for good money was a mid 80's use of the newly released AutoLisp(?) to generate non standard (for the day) engineering forms for computational analysis.

The architects made a bit of a wild sketch for a big international mega millions build contract, the engineering crowd made it work - the architects got a fancy award, we got a thank you bread and cheese thing with drinks.

(And paid .. that counts.)

I'm trying to figure out what this means but can't. Are you implying the people of the past had some huge secrets figured out?
Harder to do when the driver of the vehicle is not a human being you can make eye contact with, and the human operator isn't interested in maintaining safe and attentive authority over the vehicle that they are responsible for.
Do waymos perhaps pass through behind a vehicle much faster/closer than a human driver? That would appear like one of those things that "computer accuracy" could do that humans would never try.

A cyclist confident to be able to keep up with the truck's acceleration might go not only for the physical slipstream, but also for the "traffic slipstream", remaining so close that he would never intersect paths with a regular driver. That would be breaking traffic rules, not arguing that, but it would not only be safe (-ish, truck might hit the brakes) but also not inconvenience any drivers who wouldn't pass behind the truck without leaving a sufficient gap anyways. Until a waymo shows up and ends that assumption (this is speculation, I don't know how waymos drive)

In any case, from a continental European perspective the American four-way stop just seems completely wrong, despite priority to the right being essentially the same when fully saturated.
I'm going to agree with the previous poster, sadok, because I also sent an email to that address with my resume over two weeks ago and haven't gotten anything.
The rationale is that the ordnance on target ratio is way higher with missiles. 10,000 shells can be displaced by 100 missiles.

A conflict like Russia/Ukraine isn’t happening with the US. A US / Russia conflict would have resulted in US air supremacy or a nuclear exchange.

I think there’s an underestimation of the impact that mega-passes (e.g., Ikon, Epic, and Mountain Collective) have on non-local skier traffic at resorts. A lot of Vermont resorts are crowded with “flat landers” aka Boston, New Jersey, or New Yorkers on weekends; however these tend to be resorts on multi-mountain passes like Killington, Sugarbush, Stowe, Okemo, etc. These resorts and towns aren’t hurting because they draw in outsiders and casual skiers who stay in hotels or condos and spend money at bars, restaurants and other local businesses.
In my experience Jay attracts locals, Canadians from southern Quebec, and a few die hard skiers. Most of these are day trippers or stay on resort and are not spending lots of money in the limited establishments that surround Jay.
Passes also make travel to a west coast or European resort more feasible financially and logistically. The cost of skiing is already accounted for you just need to find reasonable flights and accommodations for 7-10 days and you have already broken even on the pass.
Yes, it totally makes sense for bike commuters to be run over and sent to the hospital by robotic driverless vehicles while billionaire entrepreneurs refine the AI models powering them — it’s a beta test after all, you can’t actually expect it to work on public streets. And I bet those cyclists weren’t even paying their road tax.

The needs of the 95th percentile that the model was tuned for outweigh the needs of everyone else, who can’t even afford a basic RWD Tesla Model 3 (which is pathetic and the most pedestrian of EV options since I drive an EV GM Hummer and I post on Hacker News)
Windows 95 brought us those god-awful cascading menus that would disappear the second you missed a hover target by a single pixel. I for one am glad those died out.

I think the article merely superimposed manually distorted screenshots from the AVP onto a photo of the sensor, rather than taking a photo of the sensor while turned on, so it's not representative of the distortion, but yes, I agree, you make a good point - the pancake lens optics might be nonlinear, with higher PPD in the center.

There's some interesting analysis here: https://kguttag.com/2023/06/26/apple-vision-pro-part-4-hyper...

He concludes, by making comparison with the Meta Quest which has similar pancake optics to the AVP, and by scaling up the PPD, that the AVP's PPD could be as high as 39 PPD in the center of the image.

I think most of the conclusions derived from the analysis here will still hold true if the central PPD does turn out to be as high as 39, rather than 34. It's still a very long way from 20/20 retina at 60, from foveal cone density at 110, and pales in comparison to the PPD achieved by even entry level 14" laptops or 27" 4K displays.

What type of promises did they offer? Based on the newyorker article as well a quick skim of the wikipedia article on eb-5, it doesn't seem like the government was supposed to do any due diligence. The government doesn't require you invest in specific investments that it endorses. Any investment that meets the given criteria would work. You can even create your own enterprise to use as an investment.

If you worked a standard 9 to 5 and took 4 weeks of vacation a year, then you worked ~1920 hours per year.

Bill Gate's self-reported work schedule would give him 3640 hours per year, meaning he worked about double the hours of a "regular person".

Bill Gates in 2018 dollars as of 1999 was worth about $150 billion dollars. Giving him an hourly rate of 2018-USD$1,369,863 per hour over 30 years.

Whatever you, or I, or pretty much anyone else on HN is worth is a rounding error towards 0 of that value.

While it is certainly possible that value goes exponential after that first 40 hours, there's plenty of people on Earth who work far longer hours then that and will never be worth anywhere near as much.

Interesting article but I'd be more cautious about projecting current trends into the future.

If history teaches us lessons, one of them is surely that the masses sometimes prefer war. Americans may be doves or isolationists today (with Iraq and Afghanistan recent in memory) but if US adversaries push too hard, if there's some large scale terrorist attack (or even just a viral incident), the US public will become hawks overnight.

It's exactly at moments when we start asking questions like "are states becoming obsolete?" that we should start to worry.
Yeah. Seems like good driving means "don't drive in to places you cannot see". If you are just accelerating after a stop sign, there is no reason to have such high speed and urgency when making the turn.

I too wonder what is going on. I "don't eat fast food" (outside of a couple of times a year , if that) - I'd not had McDs in a year or so, but randomly decided to have a burger meal last week. I was honestly shocked. The last time I had McDonalds, it was unhealthy, cheap and tasted pretty good... this time it was unhealthy, expensive, and tasted like basically nothing. I was left pretty confused, so it's nice to hear this is "a thing".

I don't have much of a guess except as others have suggested, they REALLY want to push people to the app. Suffice to say, I won't be visiting McDs again for a long time.

It is for me. However it wasn't in its default configuration, where it was actually downscaling a 5K display to 4K. When I changed the display settings on the Mac to actually 4K it got a lot clearer.

Not sure why the huge screen is relevant. I definitely sometimes prefer to have what amounts to a large display further away, rather than a small display up close. I don't see why you'd make it bigger than your FOV.

I don't see the benefit to a foldable phone except for either more screen real estate for media when unfolded, or as a sort of built-in phone stand. However, the article mentions that Apple seems to prefer the clamshell model like the Galaxy Flip, which would just fold the phone in half horizontally (vs the Galaxy Fold which basically doubles the size). With the clamshell, all it seems to do is add an extra step (flipping it open) to use your phone.

I'm sorry you've had that experience. It's not necessarily for everyone. And I kind of feel like with trauma therapists should do a better job making sure you've processed the trauma enough to face the darkest recesses of your mind in silence. So it sounds like that therapist wasn't the right one for you.

But for others who maybe have struggled with it but haven't entirely sworn it off, I wanted to offer the following thoughts.

> It's impossible to put a cork in all of them

I know you know this given your background, but for others reading, the point of meditation isn't to silence your mind. It's one of the most confusing things about meditation at first, and it often sends people into an anxiety feedback loop. People notice their mind isn't being silenced and start to feel like a failure for not silencing it, which makes their mind less silent etc. I have an anxious kid, and this fear feedback loop is the hardest part.

But really, stripping away the traditional/religious background, IMO the main thing is activating the parasympathetic nervous system in a controlled way. Putting aside relatively abnormal cases, if one is angry or anxious then one hasn't successfully activated the parasympathetic nervous system, even if one is sitting in a meditation posture and trying to focus on the breath. So this it's pretty easy to tell whether you're deploying this skill successfully.

From trial and error, I've found that asking people to breathe out slowly is the least error prone method to get people to successfully activate the parasympathetic nervous system. Sometimes it helps to take a breath, hold it for a few seconds and then breathe out slowly. Other methods, like telling people to take a deep breath I've found to be less effective and more prone to errors. (For example, some people try to breathe hard or fast or even hyperventilate).

Once you can do that reliably and habitually, then you can start promoting other skills, like watching your mind without judgment. But I'm not sure it helps to, for example, non-judgmentally watch yourself have a panic attack. So IMO the ability to step back from the brink should come first for a lot of people, and then the harder skills should be built on a foundation where you know you have the ability to intervene if you need to.
A lot of content creators put a lot of time and effort into making high-quality long-form videos. It's pretty reasonable that they might also want a way to quickly create a YT Short without spending even more time editing their original video down. I'd rather them spend more time doing whatever I subscribed to see them do or talk about.

As for why anyone would even watch Shorts, not everyone has time to watch long-form videos. Or not everyone wants to commit that time, even if they have it.

The Moto Q was particularly slow, I had one. Not a great comparison imo.

The interface was buttery smooth, everything else was ok especially before the App Store. Once you had third-party apps I remember being disappointed. The 3GS was fast, the original was not.

Regardless most of the comment, including that bit imo, is complete revisionism. Almost every review of the original iPhone talks about the imperfection and promise of it.
speaking truth to power is difficult when the survival of your social structure depends on your continued income. ironically - or perhaps intentionally - the fact that no one feels safe due to random firings of "top performers", new hires, "underperformers", etc, could result in a work envoronment where everyone finally speaks the truth, because they dont have a guarantee that lying will continue to protect their paycheck.
Hmm, this is strange. I am on Librewolf 122.0. At first things seem to load alright, but when I click on any place on the map it starts bouncing around like crazy to random places in rapid succession, making the app unusable. Then, when I hit refresh, I get a broken page until I Ctrl+Shift+R.

Librewolf is a fairly non-standard browser, but it's actually quite rare for me to have something break, especially catastrophically like this; I have no problems using it as a daily driver for literally anything. So I really wonder what is going on here, as there's no status indicator indicating any of the usual suspects (e.g. no "canvas data access blocked" in the location bar or anything like that.)

Sure. It's a pain for cars to start and stop at every stop sign too. So?
Right there can also easily be pedestrians in the crosswalk who are also occluded, though I guess with a bit more stopping distance (but then you may be blocking a lane that would otherwise be able to go).
If you take "for years" to literally mean "more than one year", sure. I think it's colloquially understood to be far longer than that. "Encanto" came out in 2021 and I'd consider that a hit. The soundtrack saw wide play, everyone I know who's seen it loves it, and they're merchandising the hell out of it.

To be fair, I saw "Wish" with my family and we all enjoyed it, but it obviously didn't come close to "Frozen 2" numbers. They're not all hits. With animated film taking years to produce, those perhaps aren't the metric to use. It'll be another few years before the next major animated film by Disney is released.

The Marvel movies release more frequently and seem to print money. "Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 3" came out last year and has done $845MM¹.

Posting a NY Times article in response to Jan 6 is like posting a Russia Today article in response to Maidan.

I feel like you are injecting facts with a lot of assumptions. How do we know a human driver would have taken longer? What if the human would have seen the bike 200 yards up the road 45 seconds ago, and since bikes don't disappear, waited a half second before proceeding into the intersection. Or what if a small portion of the bike was visible?

It could have been absolutely unavoidable but I don't think we know that now.
