Fun but hard to control. Suggestions to improve:

1. Make it so two hands can be used. If have to keep repositioning my fingers then I can't remember what each key does. Perhaps WADS and IJKL.

2. Phase: should not bottom out, it should allow for unlimited movement in either direction (wrap around). Should have same spatial/screen movement regardless the frequency, so scale up the phase shift as frequency drops.

3. Frequency: Fix the curve at center of the screen when adjusting frequency, instead of the left edge. Currently imbalanced: the right side move a lot and the left is fixed. Hard to do fine adjustments.

And please make it go slower.

The trick to inexpensive McDonalds is to use the app
About 8 years ago, I remembered $1 McChickens and $1 McDoubles. $1 Large Soda. For $3 you could have a nice meal without fries. Due to inflation, everything is about double now, and McDonald's is no longer a cheap place for food.

For $15 I could have a Large Big Mac meal or go to a Steakhouse and have a Steakburger meal cooked better.
stock price is flimsy and on that revenue growth, what are the margins? If they are static, he's just doing more of the same.
Apple was late to the game. In fact they tried to change the name away from podcast (in reference to the iPod). The TWiT team started calling them NetCast to appease Apple. In the end, Apple embraced the technology and dropped the name complaint.

By then the RSS feed tech was already well established along with a few podcast software aggregators.

Apple did not invent or even have a choice.
Off the top of my head, in this space DOD invented: CPUs/registers, random access memory, packet switched networks, internetworking, TCP/IPv4. I’m sure there’s more.
I intend to buy this bike if it ever reaches my local market.

I've owned Japanese and German bikes from 300cc to 1000cc.

This hits a sweet spot of weight, speed, and price for me that's hard to match. Which is to say that 500 lbs. is as heavy as my Ninja SX 1000, but adds a reverse gear without lifting the front wheel at 100 MPH in third gear - not a good survival strategy for someone my age.

I'm still concerned about the weight, but in my tight garage, reverse will make a huge difference in maneuverability for the aged weakling that I am.

The EV range is nearly exactly what I need in the urban area in which I live, but the ICE makes mom's house in the sticks commutable on the weekend without needing to fuel up or charge.

That last part is the deal maker for me since just about any electric either makes the 100 mile round trip impossible without a recharge, or the purchase price so expensive I'd pass since a cage is cheaper and I'd be better off to spend the money electrifying my fixed gear bicycle.
Wow this article does a lot, and has a lot of really well thought out content and yet my closing thought was “wow more clickbait based on Apple-bashing”.

I haven’t used the AVP, but neither has the author. That said, the reviews are generally positive- even for the direct use case he’s claiming is ridiculous.

But I honestly find his end claim ridiculous:

> The image quality can be no better than its weakest link. If the AVP has 3X the pixels and roughly 1.75x the linear ppd, the optics must be much better than the MQP to deliver the same small readable text that a physical monitor can deliver.

I think this is a bad take. It doesn’t have to be the weakest link, because people probably rarely use the edge of the displays compared to the center.

I will concede that Apple calling it a 4k replacement is BS and he gets that right. But a 1440p monitor probably delivers similar readability and is good enough for most people, so the end result is a valid monitor replacement

A fine pacifist attitude to have when someone else did the fighting and the dying and the building up a military industrial complex for you. Ukrainians, for example, don't have that option, which is why a ton of IT guys there are starting and joining all sorts of miltech startups, volunteer groups, etc. Their families and their future depend on using their talents to build yucky weapons they don't want to be on the other side of.

There is definitely something going on with fast food these days.

I love Taco Bell mostly for cheap college nostalgia reasons, but the mom-and-pop taco joints, run by retired chefs with the requisite ingredient quality and taste, cost about the same at point of sale these days as your average run to the Bell.

I used to get in and out of TB for <$7 and be so stuffed afterwards I'd basically go into a food coma. Even including inflation the past few years I should still be in and out for <$10. I think I hit $13 one time. The local taco bowl place is $12. It's insane.

McDonald's costs more than my local gourmet burger place, but with half the flavor. I can get a beautifully crafted, made to order, custom blended burger, hand cut fries, and drink for $12.50. My local McDonald's equivalent is around $11.

What the hell is going on? And to their lost sales, I say no duh.

Ukrainians who expressed a clear interest in more closely aligning with the west and not with Russia?

And regardless, does any of that give Russia the right to invade another country?
What is the definition of smarter?
It's a huge problem when an army with a larger amount wants to take your land, abduct your children, kill anyone who speaks and writes in your language, and tortures all your leaders to death.

All told, better to have fewer shells in general, but in particular, one must have at least as many shells as the murderous invaders that want to kill you.

And towards that end, the more that Ukraine destroys Russia's military, the less shells everyone else needs to build to defend themselves. Because if Ukraine falls, one only has to look on YouTube to find the translations of Russian TV that show all the other places their population is geared up to invade, rape, conquer, and subjugate.

Those are essential points. I'd just adjust the first to say, I think people tend to choose the interpretation - literal, metaphorical, reading emotions, etc etc - that suits their own emotional drive.

I find that the person I'm talking to, if I treat them as if they are a*holes, act as if that was their intent the whole time. If I treat them as if they in good faith, they act that way.

It's hard to resist the flow of conversation, to not go along with the way it's framed. I think that's why people act how you treat them; I think that's why people even confess falsely to crimes - the interrogator talks to the suspect as if they did it. Other sophsticated communicators also use that intentionally.
Vcpkg, Conan, and even CMake (kinda) attempt to do similar things.

I think it's an open secret that McDonalds uses the app to segment customers by price. If you just walk in and order off the normal menu, you pay a lot and they push all the pricier special items on you. If you use the app, you can find surprisingly good deals every time, especially if you can take advantage of 2 for 1s. It's like a totally different menu.
The plummet as reported compares the final months of sales that benefited from the clean car discount against 1 month of sales after the discount was scrapped.

Hardly surprising there's a large difference - savvy buyers swooped in and purchased an EV before their price went up overnight.

As others have mentioned, changes to road user charges are another part of the new government's changes.

EVs now pay a road user charge whereas previously they did not. This was a secondary subsidy to further incentivise EV uptake and EV owners understood that it was always going to be a temporary exemption.

(The government plans to standardise road user charges across all vehicle types. Currently ICEs pay no direct road user charges and instead pay taxes on fuel.)

So there's a bit of double whammy here and it's hardly surprising that EV sales are experiencing a dip.

But once road user charges are standardised and more and cheaper EV options become available (as they are all the time) I expect EV sales to bounce back and continue to increase as a percentage of car sales.

That podcast absolutely plunged me into history in a way I never had experienced. I was astounded at how much death and horror we are capable of tolerating before the average person does something about it. WW1 history helped me get through the pandemic because no matter how bad that was I was sure living a better life than those who lived in the trenches. Cannot recommend enough.
I've ridden a friend's zero. Love the bike. The price is right, but comes with compromise since my weekend trips are beyond the zero's range. My friend has had problems which are all fixed at manufacturer cost under warranty; however, having the kevlar belt break at speed is not a place I ever want to be.
>Clearly, we know reality through our senses and our ideas. That is uncontroversial. The problem is when one says (as I think you are) that our sensual perceptions and ideas are all we know, and that we can reasonably doubt that they ever refer to reality.
We know reality by means of our senses and ideas. We don't know our senses and ideas as such.

I am failing to see the distinction here. If your only conception of "reality" is through your sensual perceptions, how can you know anything beyond that? How does reality then differ from mental conception of your sensual receptors? To me this is equivalent to saying, "there is a spiritual world that doesn't interact with anything and we cant prove it but it exists". The only thing I can think of is that reality is shared among several observers, who all agree on it.

This is why I brought up the hypothetical scenario of two scientists who disagreed on whether the detector turned on at t=1 or t=2.

If you were the only being on this planet so that no one could disagree with you, and you for some reason were high on LSD for the entirely of your life and saw flying rocks, would that not be your reality? Every scientific test you do would fit your findings, as perceived and evaluated by you. If there was a community of such people who never saw a rock standing still, what would be the real truth?
And if you say "but there is still a reality, none of those people would just know it", then I can ask, how do you know we don't fit that same bill, where some other observer could look at us and say "those guys are all seeing an illusion, its actually this way"

>This is a red herring. We may never know who is right; that is different from saying that there is no reality to know.

But what determines who is right? That is my question. What answer can you give me besides "a conscious observer?", or "a collection of conscious observers who all agree".

And if you can't determine who is right, what meaning is there to it being reality? Why is one conscious experience any more correct than the other?
And the person that created the product that was canned because nobody used it goes to the new team with their reputation intact and the company ready to give them more money?
Bacteria need to compete for resources, usually when a new bacterial strain is introduced to an environment where there's already a ton of different bacteria, the ones that are already there have adapted to live in balance with the nutrients available and the other members of the community.

A new bacterial strain must either find an open niche in that community or somehow outcompete what's already there. The ones already there generally outnumber newcomers to a significant extent.

There is no "good" or "bad" in nature, those are words that describe the human perspective and there aren't necessarily bacteria that could come in with small numbers and somehow wipe out an existing population. Its all about competition and resources

Opposite opinion:

- Google has the attention span of a crack addled flea. They have been the least innovative company of the big 5 and cancel products and have no long term focus.

- GCP may be good but no one trusts Google to maintain their products and not cancel them under your feet. GCP representatives don’t know how to meet “customers where they are” and their enterprise relationships are so bad when I was at AWS (Professional Services) we didn’t even bother having have “talking points” about GCP vs AWS. GCP wasn’t even on our radar. Azure on the other hand was.

- Google and privacy? Really? Google’s whole purpose is to track you to monetize you. Android consistently has more security issues than iOS and Android devices don’t get security updates like iOS devices.

- Google like every other company only “contributes” to open source software that does not give it a competitive advantage.

I have an AVP and a 16" MacBook Pro. I can't see any reason I would want to use the AVP for its display over the laptop itself.

Firstly, I need the laptop's trackpad and keyboard to use the computer. So it has to be positioned where it normally would be. That makes it difficult to place the screen in the space in a reasonable location.

The screen real estate is slightly larger inside the AVP, but the downside is it looks worse compared to retina resolution. It’s definitely usable though. And the latency is fine even for playing a video game.

I get eye strain after using it for 1.5 to 2 hours or so. (I don't wear glasses or contacts.)

I've never been much of a multi-monitor person. And the idea of surrounding myself with shitty iPad apps is even less attractive. There's no way you're getting much work done besides email or Slack with native Vision or iPad apps.

Frankly, I don't see any use cases for this device. I don't get why I would want to decorate my house with iPad apps. Manipulating the windows and stuff feels very cool, but the pinch gesture is uncomfortable after a while, eyetracking is precise but a bit fiddly, and there's just nothing better about that interaction model than a trackpad. A trackpad seems less likely to trigger RSI than the look and pinch.

AR games are kind of neat, but manipulation is indirect and difficult.

Watching a movie is lower resolution than watching on a nice TV. If I'm not in front of the TV I'd rather watch on my laptop.

I just think the laptop form factor is undefeated. I don't get what this is supposed to add – especially if you ALSO need a laptop to do most real work since visionOS has no apps and will probably stay locked down to prevent anything useful like a terminal or Git or dev tools.

A friend got one too and they could not get a facial interface that fit his face properly, and eyetracking kept drifting for him, making it frustrating.

In-store demo is very impressive and its very cool. I am just positive I'll never use it for anything other than demoing it to someone else. Planning on returning it.
I have an ansible playbook that does "git pull" in the right directory and restarts the daemon. I run it whenever I need code deployed, but it wouldn't be difficult to rig up to a CI system.

The EC2 instances are managed by terraform. Debian AMIs with a cloud-init script to get them bootstrapped with ssh keys and such to the point where ansible can run.

Yes, there are better options but with a team size of < 5, this works fine and there's really not much that can go wrong with it.

Not sure this is indicative of anything other than political dysfunction. JPL is mostly dependent on NASA funding, and without a budget from Congress, NASA reduced their budget for Mars Sample Return by ~$600M. JPL can't pay the bills at the current staff level to the end of the year and here we are. The overall economy has little bearing here.

>Sticking a screen a few inches from your eyes will always have limitations.

Don't have much to say other than I really love and appreciate this answer. This confirms my suspicions that I'm going to like Unison a lot. I get your point, but embracing the "try to imagine a better world, even if it does mean repackaging every piece of Linux software" part of Nix makes it easy for me to see that while Unison is different, the re-imagining gets you things you didn't even know you wanted.
"Anything above that is interpretation."

bzzzzzt wrong! ;)

History.

Context.

Culture.

Aesthetics.

All of these things can be associated with objective facts, not just relative interpretation. As a for-instance, Guernica is a depiction of an important event in history, by an important Spanish painter, who was exploring new ways to visualize and record the world through his own lens.

Conversely, using generative AI, I can synthesize any history, context, culture, or aesthetic input. Very cool and novel I'm sure, but completely disconnected from, say, the screaming women, dead babies, and dismembered soldiers of the Spanish Civil War that Guernica depicts.
>but perhaps we could have negotiated a peace during a conference at Minsk a decade ago or in Feb 2022 at the outbreak of hostilities

Ukraine negotiated nonstop with Russia from 2014 (when Russia first seized some of their territory) until literally 1 week before the invasion in 2022. It was 8 years of nonstop negotiations, brokered by France & Germany. I'm always amazed more people don't know about this. How did negotiating work out for Ukraine?
