Were going to read how this is an unsuccessful endeavor in about 5 years. I haven't seen a lot of great reports on gravity batteries. I wish something like this was highly viable and succesful. Seems like a great simple solution.
I use AWS's Elastic Container Service with Fargate.
We have three AWS accounts (dev, test and prod) - we build the containers in dev, build one for test when we've tagged a release and then push that one to prod.
Deployment is using Serverless (we pass the container tag through to the CloudFormation).

It works well enough - no complaints. This is a fairly simple use-case though (immutable API containers) - maybe you'd have more problems if you tried putting the database and queue systems in ECS.
Ah, fun. It didn't work on my last few attempts, it works today. Gotta love the internet.

Nice to see an updated version of the old classic.
Does VHS have a way to add commands?

I do like the concept but one charming feature of asciinema is it captures natural input hesitation, typing candence, deletions and fixing mistakes, etc. The VHS tape replay seems so artifical.

I could see how to fake it with the current commands, but I could imagine a "HumanType" or something which increases the delay variance or includes typos that are backspaced and fixed etc, automatically.

Just a quick ponder.

Approximately nobody wants this though. Sure, you want it, and I want it, and some other people like us, but we're a rounding error of the user base of Google Docs.

This would be a great plugin, but very difficult to justify building as a first class feature.

And there's nothing wrong with protobuf :)
They do have an app. I don’t personally use, but my dad has used it extensively since its release many years ago.

I haven’t tested the library based subscription with the app, but it seems like it would work, as I have a WSJ login via the setup at the library.
yeah weirdly the Wikipedia page right now says it's 10% and its source is this article, which ... does not say that.
this article doesn't even analyze AVP, it analyzes a quest pro and 'extrapolates'
I’ve been thinking about replacing my SSD. This is a solid laptop. With OpenCore patcher it’ll (Probably) last as long Apple makes builds for Intel - another 5 years or so.
Quite cool and fairly easy to remember domain name. Suggest not including neighborhoods by default as it adds quite a bit of noise.
It's clear that this is a first gen problem.

I remember owning the very first iPhone. It didn't work at first in Australia, the cellular band wasn't the same. It had no store, very few Apple apps. But it still felt like the future.

It's worth remembering how silly things look today and ask the question, what will it look like in 10-15 years?

There are no audio files in that RSS, so how would podcast apps be able to do anything with it (unless they reverse engineer Youtube's non-public player API)?
Awesome! Anatomy is so cool. Watching anatomy videos on YT, to me it seems like human bodies are composed of layers of biopolymers. The way all the structures are arranged and the intricacy and clean distinctness of the different layers is incredibly well organized. The human body is an amazing marvel, more so in than out in many ways.

Regarding gut bacteria, can you actually see biofilms of bacteria in the gut? Where do they reside? Or you can't tell with the eye?
5 ? I'll give 2. See ya in 2026
iphone was kickass for many on day 1. Very different scenario here.
So the figure I got from some simple googling came from an estimate that was claimed to be based on food insecurity statistics. 10K in a country with a population of 330M is pretty low compared to much of the world. But we can probably do better

https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/starvatio...

This source cites a figure of .89 PEM deaths, which for that population stacks out to more like 3K. Still low compared to the world, but high compared to many other rich nations.

Either way, not even gonna break the top ten causes of death, but the claim made was "no one has to starve" to which I am simply asking "then why is anyone starving?"

Personally, I'm just looking for this information on the internet, and don't have a vested interest in a particular outcome. You, on the other hand, are arguing from incredulity and just kinda flailing at me with derisive ad-hominem invective, which doesn't fill me with confidence about your command of the facts, but does make me think you must be quite a hit at parties
There should be an LLM version of this where places that aren't geotagged with lat/lng could also be included; Find a general place name, search for the cooridnates more specifically on the web or find clues like very-nearby places with coordinates attached, and then include those. Might have like orders of magnitude more results? Not sure how often places of interest are actually geotagged on their wiki.
I use both Unison and Nix (and I work on Unison Cloud).

The "oh-so-good" aspect that comes from content-addressed dependencies is definitely there. I've spent a lot of time debugging runtime issues on the JVM because two libraries that I depend on disagree on what version of a common dependency should be on my classpath. This is not something you ever experience with Unison. In the runtime every term and type are identified by their hashes, so there's no (realistic) way that names can collide.

Otherwise, Unison and Nix feel pretty different to me. Nix is generally a build-time language for arbitrary runtimes, while Unison is a general purpose language for a specific runtime.

Nix takes on the really ambitious goal of wrangling ancient projects built with Makefiles and ambient environments into deterministic builds. Through the heroic effort of derivation authors, they've managed to make it work. But it requires those maintainers to do lots of careful manual tracking of dependencies, pre-build source patches, overriding build steps, etc.

Unison takes a much more constrained approach: if we start with a language that is content-addressed at its core and keep running with this idea, where do we end up? One nice outcome of this is that you never need to manually track dependency versions, hashes, etc; the language does that for you.

The "tough" part is also there, but feels different. To me the Nix expression language is straightforward, but I find it difficult to wrap my head around nontrivial derivations. To answer questions like "what attributes and build steps can/should I override" I feel like I have to dig through the layers of the implementation. In Unison a powerful static type system and UIs (both local and Unison Share) that support clicking through to any term/type make it easier for me to digest code. The "tough" parts of Unison generally stem from the young ecosystem: fewer existing libraries, a codebase manager that is under active development and not nearly as stable as git, etc.

If nothing else Unison is worth a try just because it is so different than most other languages/ecosystems.

PS if you are interested in usin Nix to install the Unison codebase manager or to package a program written in Unison these repos might be useful (disclaimer I'm ceedubs):

What do you mean? The first computer (the Antikythera mechanism) had nothing to do with the military.
And yet he's just wrong. AVP does do a good job of mirroring a single 4K display.

It doesn't do any more than that, not multiple displays, and although it will do a 5K display, it doesn't do it well. However for the one thing they claimed it could do, it works as advertised.
>It seems like a ski resort 3.5 hours from Boston should be absolutely brimming with customers every long weekend.

They at least used to be. Probably still are but those are basically the mountains near route 93 in NH. NYC was more inclined to hit Vt. peaks like Stratton and Killington. (Stowe too but longer drive.)

There's more overhead with hopping on a plane but, as I wrote elsewhere, I tended to switch from weekends/long weekends in New England to weeks out West where the snow was (usually) a lot better. And SLC is unusually easy to get to the mountains from.
Yes but there are a million causes of death other than Covid.
Been using K8S, but I agree it can be overkill in a bootstrap phase. I have been at startups that launched on Heroku, Nomad, Elastic Beanstalk, and Elastic Container Service. I’d recommend Heroku out of those - it’ll be cheaper than a DevOps hire until it isn’t.

To be fair, Google Search is worse today because the web is worse today.

But to be ultra-fair, the web is worse today because of the perverse incentives created by Google Search and Google Ads.

In NYCs Hudson Yards they literally let foreign multimillionaires build their own pied-a-terres with an EB-5 discount. To achieve this they invented a phony blighted neighborhood that gerrymandered part of Harlem with midtown joined by a strip of central park.
The scenario here is that people are believing this article, which is simply incorrect.
Exactly what I was going to write. Why not at least demo the AVP before writing a whole article?

Well yeah. Half the time that's like, the best part of the book.
Peak HN is also claiming Y already supports X without showing any evidence.

And no, converting a `#` into a H1 is not "markdown support". I want a non-WYSIWYG mode that can let me work on plain text and export it without changing a single comma or tab, optionally with a WYSIWYG presentation layer on top of that like Dropbox Paper does, but one that does not let me add non-markdown features (which would inevitably get lost when exporting and re-importing the same file, or parts of it via copy and paste).

Update: You made me look: Sadly still no Markdown support. I would have been very happy to be wrong here.
I was puzzling over this argument as well.

Is it possible GP was talking about SEO spam enabled by LLMs like ChatGPT? That's the most charitable read on it I can give it.

Because I can guarantee you my problem with Google Search has nothing to do with chat assistants, and if that is sincerely your position, I'd seriously consider trying to find perspective.
LPDDR5 has lower total latency (or can, and I assume it very much does in this case). Essentially the "standard motherboard layout" normal DDR5 is designed for is too big to target a lower latency.
> Google has at least 5000 engineers worth of interesting work.

Chrome has a pretty advanced javascript engine and cutting edge security features. Android, which is sorta-kinda open source. Youtube's pretty much the only place that serves working 4k video. The self-driving cars have a great reputation - arguably a much better design than Tesla have. BigQuery's pretty neat, even if it's missing things like unique constraints. GCP is the third largest cloud provider out there. Project Zero is pretty cool. Gmail was great when it launched; nothing's really surpassed it, and they've largely avoided fucking it up.

That requires a lot more than 5,000. Also, much of that is old and not interesting, at least in the sense of innovative, exciting, ground-breaking, disrupting, world-changing.
My neighbor drives an EV and his fuel savings are about $1300/month. He drives a lot.

The latter, viruses are just stressful on the body and recent research is finding the more subtle and long term ways they affect us.

Well this is just straight up false. Moana was a massive success. Frozen is a monstrous success for them. Star Wars not being a success is objectively false. The Force Awakens is the second best selling Star Wars movie of all time.
This is rewriting history. It was good, but not perfect.

Cameras were pretty common on phones, even with video, and the iPhone couldn’t shoot video for years.

There was no customized Home Screen which had a lot of hand-wringing.

Again, as everyone mentions no apps and that’s huge. Let’s not forget that the backup to apps, websites, weren’t made for mobile yet. Not even apples own website.

When the iPhone first came out it was halfway to a luxury feature phone in terms of ability. Until mobile web and apps became readily available, it wasn’t particularly “smart”.

It was subpar in ways people expected more from (basic phone stuff), and great in new ways (Touch! Web!). That sounds exactly like the reviews for this headset.
The article mostly seems to concentrate on the visual quality of the screens.

Personally, I'm somebody who used to use dual screen and love it but then, when working remotely, I force myself to use a tiny screen exclusively so I can get a coffee shops and not feel any compromise. Everyone I know has a different set up and I know some people are gonna love the Apple vision, and some people won't, but I don't think it's because of nitpicking the display.
I think it'll cover your needs. You can configure typing speeds, send commands for backspacing, if you were driving vim you could obv record doing search/replace/deletions

The fact you can iterate at all is its appeal to me

I don't think it's a "problem" that we don't have enough munitions to launch at other humans. It's a testament to our time that there aren't incentives for manufacturing death.
My point is just that proving known facts can be useful and interesting.

As for the paper, network entropy and node heterogeneity seem to be perfectly sensible statistical concepts, and encode useful information. They also dovetail conveniently with powerful tools in machine learning. Criticizing this paper for lack of potential applications feels unreasonable.

This is a guess from last summer, wouldn’t we want to hear from people who’ve actually tried it? The reviews I’ve seen directly contradict his assertions, and I know which of those is more believable.

Costpoint is the UI hell you didn’t even know existed until you see it for yourself.

It’s timesheet software that appears to be a legacy Windows app using an unholy number of compatibility shims to run in the browser. Almost nothing is a native control!

>It's clear that this is a first gen problem.

Not really. Rendering a plane in space, distorting it, then having a lens distort it back and stretch the image over your field of view has many losses that just viewing a panel directly doesn't have. The only advantage for headsets is that the screen can be smaller than a full monitor which means that yield doesn't need to be as high to get a working display. If you want to render a 2d screen, physical monitors will likely always be the better choice. Headsets have an advantage of flexibility of where panels are and their sizes, but their picture quality will be worse.

Let me skip over a bunch of your points and just get to the end.

Would any of your theoretical compromises have satisfied the Cold Warriors in the Kremlin? These people literally believe that NATO is coming to invade Moscow. How do you negotiate with someone who lives in a place so disconnected from reality?

Frozen is one of the newest entries out of any media franchise to gross more than $10B — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_media.... More than Fortnite has grossed. Not too shabby.
I appreciate and use asciinema, but a big plus one for VHS.

I like being able to store my tapes in a repo and edit them:

Having used the AVP this week (and previously every VR and MR device) I have to fully disagree

Apple nailed text legibility and no semblance of eye strain or screendooring

I still wouldn’t abandon my monitor cause of other reasons but not cause of any technical shortcoming in the desktopish experience

I used to go to McD about once a month or so – maybe for lunch, or take the kids on a busy weekend – but, not anymore. I'm not saying anything that people don't know, but it's like $10pp in my area. Fries are almost $5. I can easily afford it, but on principle, I won't.

I've done the same thing with potato chips. Lay's are $5-6 a bag here, and the store brand are actually relabeled Herr's (and $2.50). The price increases on junk food have rendered it not-worth-it from a health perspective, and a wallet perspective.

All in all, I'm probably better for it. I say, keep raising prices.
I agree. You can’t necessarily blame all this on Putin because Russian imperialism goes back for centuries.
I’m not a disney fan but I enjoyed those games. They’re just good action RPGs with fresh advancement bonuses. Very Square Enix, which makes sense, of course.

KH3 also made me realize that they can start to target child and adult fans via recently popular titles (e.g. Frozen) and ~30 years ago popular titles (e.g. Toy Story), respectively.
It's no more and no less "disgusting" than being burned in an APC, have your limbs torn off in a trench by an artillery shell, or slowly bleeding out after being shot in a field. You just normally don't see those deaths, and here you saw one. Why does that make you not care who wins this war, the ones waging a fascist colonial war or the ones defending their families from it?

Mail client. Relational data best formatted in a tabular style.

Avoided fucking it up, huh.
I tend to agree.

However, knowing just how hungry modern warfare is for munitions, not having the capacity already in place to vastly ramp up production seems extremely short sighted.
Note: I'm looking more for modern, positive news of the nature of tech, science, advanced health in a way as a futurist or transhumanist might be.
I heard that tonsils also have an immune function.
IMO the bigger issue is the fact our eyes are biological and degrade over time.

Most tech reviews and culture only give limit oxygen to accessibility.

But the reality is, if you spend a lifetime on a computer screen your eyes will degrade a bit quicker than most.

(granted: new tech is a boom for Accessibility in many ways)

Sticking a screen a few inches from your eyes will always have limitations. The older you get the more reluctant you will feel.

I am still not understanding who the target audience is for these type of devices - does it really have a mass-scale audience, or just a highly specialised one? is it used for 10 minutes at a time, or hours?
2+ hours, yes. My sessions with it have been 2-3 hours, with short breaks for bathroom, refreshments, etc. within that session, and a longer break between sessions. A couple of 2-3 hour sessions in a day is reasonable (and I've done it). I wouldn't want to wear it all day.
In the latest Waveform Podcast, Marques Brownlee wore the display for 2+ hours. He didn't feel any eye-strain, just weight strain.

I've seen people complain about fatigue after 5 hours on a plane, so it's not impossible but it sounds like it's better than most.
Transparent oled is already a thing. I guarantee you within 20 years it’ll be perfected and pass through will effectively be some combination of what you’re actually seeing plus cameras to amplify. Only Apple will have the clout to charge upwards of 4000 with tax for the privilege.

I do think using cameras for pass through exclusively is a bit of a dead end, even if tolerable for now.
