Why, they'd just sell out since they can't manufacture more than a few million?

Seriously, you drop the price once you're past first adopters, which you do after you know what your features are, who your target customers are, and how to make enough of them. Maybe software is different.

Total VR sales are only 15-20million a year. They're not looking to take more than 10% of that with a first product.
That doesn't mean the design was a good idea for a universal bus intended to replace all of the contemporary uses of serial busses in the 90s.

If you wrote this code as Rust, the resulting bounds miss traps and the exploit doesn't work (but the messaging application fails which is pretty annoying)

My understanding is that vCPUs are mapped to hyperthreads or (in this case) physical cores (note: not whole CPU packages). As some noted there’s shared L3 cache, but AFAIK this would not be “steal” as the kernel presents it.
If thousands of those are internal developers, then they'll either find a use case or kill it.

Well the obvious solution would be to figure out a mechanism to capture the particles that bombard your ship and figure out a way to turn those particles into thrust so you don’t need to take a bunch of fuel with you, which I get it, is another hard problem to solve, but maybe not impossible. We have done some incredible things before.
It was already available on a public torrent and therefore this additional torrent on a public torrent site changes nothing.

Previously you weren't getting any revenue from torrents. Now you're monetizing a fraction of the population that likes to torrent but wants to not feel guilty about doing so.
Maybe we shouldn't be able to automate social media, but the problem is that this just means you need to hire people to do the automation manually...

>Interesting, the separate compute and storage tiers is another system going that direction which I think is becoming almost the standard at this point, especially for "cloud-native" things designed to run on k8s. From what I can tell (it isn't very explicit on this point) they are avoiding a distributed consensus at the storage layer and instead relying on a single writer/multiple reader model with the single writer being enforced by assignment of the tablets in the compute tier, with the tablet being responsible for writing to multiple storage nodes for durability? (But I might be wrong)

Hmmm, 4D around the 90's/early 2000's also keep the data and code separated in 2 different files. They maybe still do, but haven't touched it in a while. Tech is more and more like fashion, if you wait around long enough it will come back. ;-)
How is it not just as typesafe? Rust will enforce the same typing constraints on the arguments to qsort either way. You're making attestations about how the C code behaves that the Rust compiler cannot type-check for you, but both methods have that fundamental issue.

For sure, we have been pretty focused on the low level part of the language, I think it will be interesting to see how our language evolves as we are able to abstract away more of the low level connectivity and configuration. I think eventually we will end up building something like a python library on top of ato to get the best of both worlds.

Not usually a good idea to mess up with the default, and you can always middle-click or ctrl+click or cmd+click or long press. If you open in new tab by default you risk breaking user expectations, disorient them and you break users wanting to open in the same tab.
PRs are useful, and so is the discussion system. These things are at par with other platforms that are pretty much equally barrier-free.

Any of the workflow automation stuff might be more difficult to replace, but I haven't had an especially good experience with it anyway. I don't know about everyone else, but it's been pretty unreliable and fragile. Even the Azure integration, which ought to be first-class, is pretty opaque. I really wanted to lean into that stuff, but for now, I'm happy running my own.

That's interesting for me.

I was born in 93. In 2000s all of my then web-deving with html/php was without even an awareness of something like version control. I was storing snippets of code in .txt files in case my change (often made directly on the FTP server) was to crash everything. Of course, this was just a hobbyist environment, I was a teen running some small personal communities. Then, I stopped programming for years and when returned around 5 years ago `git` was basically everywhere. Now, after working in "professional environment" with software development, I don't imagine running any project without some version control when more than 1 person is involved.

What were you using for version control, how did that work between programmers committing to the same new feature?
This isn't a mistake or overlook. They treat the office like a sweatshop. No you are not exceptionally skillful. Within weeks they're able to move to a cheaper location and they will once their Excel will say so. It's so funny seeing devs on B2B in Poland thinking they are some entrepreneurs while for HQ they are in the same league as another office in Pajarumbad.

Not the call center. I'm referring to the technology running the bank itself (handling transactions etc). Most credit unions use the same tech made overseas. It wouldn't surprise me if they're the source of the data leak.
I left Google about 8 months ago to build a Shopify app. I was a sales engineer that kept selling a super complex product to large retailers, and I thought it would be cool to "productize a service" and democratize it for smaller retailers.

It's amazing taking a full product from 0 to 1 with a small team, we're bootstrapped but have some revenue coming in now from very satisfied customers. I don't know if we'll ever raise money or have an exit, but I wouldn't trade the experience for the world.

Very interesting thoughts. I have also seen one programming languages, ehich I cannot find anymore, which doesn't differentiate between signed and unsigned integers as types. Instead, there are just various sized integers, and for each operation you must choose between signed and unsigned semantics. Kind of like Javas >>> and unsignedToString.
I used FlowWise[1], LM Studio[2], the llama2[3] model, and Ollama[4] (for embeddings) to create a local-only RAG chatbot so I could chat directly with Tristram Shandy, Gentleman[5]. For the context document I used the text of the novel of the same name, downloaded from Project Gutenberg.

Primarily it was a PoC to see if a document based chatbot could work without crossing trust boundaries by calling out to untrusted APIs. It only makes calls to localhost.

If you’re familiar with the novel you will be pleased to know that the chatbot ended a recent answer with, “I must go now as I have an appointment with my chamber pot and I wouldn’t want to keep it waiting.”

The UUID specs are still confusing (or at least were to me lol) because the words "version" and "variant" both just say that something changes, not what is changing or why it's changing.

version from Latin vertere "to turn, turn back, be turned; convert, transform, translate; be changed"

variant from Latin variare "change, alter, make different,"

In my own UUID/GUID code I have taken to calling them "behavior" and "layout", respectively: https://github.com/okeeblow/DistorteD/blob/NEW%E2%80%85SENSA...

But there is one tiny upshot of the monopolistic platforms - it simplifies the go-to-market strategy for all third parties. Hardware and software vendors had a much easier time simply developing for PC for a good two decades.

Now of course we have the web which makes software development even easier than that, but companies like Nvidia have a harder time dealing with multiple platforms than in a Windows-only world.

The pros and cons of the early adopter.

Factors like weight and comfort often arise. Perhaps a future strategy in this space will be to minimise the headset componentry by shifting as much as possible externally, similar to how Apple has approached the battery issue with the Vision Pro.

I got mine on launch day. I didn’t read the emails from Apple about the prescription lenses coming separately by mail. That caused me to miss them when they were delivered in the morning. I started with temporary (disposable) contacts that weren’t quite the right script (freebies from the optometrist who updated my prescription).

I was disappointed. It wasnt the marvel of eye tracking I’d hoped it would be. But as soon as I got the lenses in later that day, everything was much nicer. Eye tracking, image quality, all of it. I like it more each day.

I’ve been on the home-theater projector train for over a decade. I have a 4K projector and this blows it out of the water. My extra BT kbds both failed to turn on, so I haven’t used it for work, yet. But I’m eager. My first game with is projects a skate park and you control a guy on a board. It’s decent, but looks cool. The speakers are unreasonably good for their size.

It’s a solid device. I just hope Apple doesn’t mismanage it like they have the iPad.
I remember having cheats for thousands of games but they stopped working after to what was the latest version at the time. That was like 15 years ago. I have been playing without cheats ever since. It's a shame because some games don't work well with saves, and others are just hard to beat no matter how many lives i have.
Is Posix Unsuitable for Object Stores?
>Unfortunately Boeing always has a sweet defense contract waiting to compensate any "rough year", so they keep fucking around.

And because once airlines have their fleets locked into a specific airplane brand, swapping it for the competition is almost impossible without crazy expense, so they coasted on this vendor lock in for decades knowing their existing customers have no choice but to keep buying their planes.

And also probably because "nobody ever got fired for buying Boeing".
Oh god. I thought it was just me.

Speaking as someone who has been mostly self-employed since about 2002, Obamacare is a godsend. Massively better than the old individual "underwriting" system that basically made it impossible to get coverage. Yes, health insurance is expensive, but you may be amazed that the ACA marketplace plans frequently cost less than employer plans with better market protections. The only way to do health insurance nowadays is to assume it's only for catastrophes; ie: an $8-15k deductible is nothing compared to a $250k hospital visit. Basically, you are buying a discount plan (your insurer's negotiated rates) plus a stop-loss cover. An example: I am an old fart at 63 and have an HSA plan with a $7,500 deductible. My premium is $900/mo, thus the MOST I will ever have to pay for health care in any 12 month period is $18,300. Way less than a $300k uncomplicated heart attack or a $1M cancer diagnosis. Work your tax returns right, and you can get subsidies that reduce the annual costs even more . . .
Not even quite synthesis yet! We're well aware there's quite a lot out there that's fairly analogous - but nothing that's quite translated to the space, despite a few efforts as pointed out above.

There's a few parts we think that are behind that, but one is similar to python's/Guido's "code is read more than it's written", so we're attempting to address that!
How is it doomed? It's selling, and most people are liking it more than they are disliking it. And with like any new category of product (all based on existing tech, but there is no alternative to the Vision Pro, that does the same things), there is people that are going to make wild predictions of its failure, like they did with the iPad.

So yeah, VR/AR headsets aren't going to replace smartphones anytime soon. But they don't NEED to.

And it costs $3500 NOW, first generation product, but there is a reason why the put "Pro" in the name, the implication being that they fully intend to do a more affordable version.

So as usual, it's not going to be any of the extreme predictions. It's neither going to be a total failure that Apple will stop manufacturing them, nor is it going to be such an overnight success that the average joe will stop paying their mortgage and instead get a gadget.
It isn't a UUID if it doesn't contain those flag bits in their expected positions. A "random" UUID has only 122 bits of randomness for this reason.

The picture quality is absolutely amazing. Between the Quest 2 and the Vision pro, the difference is similar to SD to HD tv (480p to 1080p). It's a huge leap forward, and for spatial videos, it's an entirely different feeling.
What criteria are we using to evaluate this?

If the anecdotes are accurate, and based on your own description, it seems Elon Musk is a CEO who makes an effort to thoroughly grasp the products his company develops. That's commendable. This doesn't necessarily make him even a small-e engineer, even in the context of the broader definitions used today. It certainly doesn't make him "someone of engineering lineage," as the original comment implied was essential for Boeing's success, or even "someone with an engineering background" like the comment I replied to.

It's also certainly not clear that Elon has an engineering-first mindset, nor that that would even be helpful for many of the businesses he runs. I can think of plenty of examples of Elon putting business above all else plenty of times, and I don't mean that as a dig: It's often the smart move for the monetary gain of all involved.

And just to be clear, this not a commentary at all on about whether Elon would be effective in running Boeing. To be blunt: I don't care about that conversation.
I think thats a pretty typical apple fanboyism response you are going to get from anything they release. Basically all of their products are iterations of some other existing product on the market. All the new things coming to iphone or mac. Its all been done because it has to have been done before, since unlike how they pitch them, computer companies don't make new things, they assemble existing things in potentially new ways perhaps, but nothing is novel; "apple silicon" is just another TSMC product running ARM architecture, not hand crafted in cupertino by free range artisans or anything. Boring hardware vendors are the ones who make things, who then sell these components on the market, and then Apple cobbles together a computer from what is available among the hardware vendor's inventory same as any other computer on the market. The layers get deeper still, when you consider what the hardware vendors produce is just what is able to be produced on the tooling the toolmakers are currently selling to them. Really its the toolmaker's toolmaker's toolmaker who brought you that iPhone, but Tim Apple walks up on that stage and gets the applause.
> You’re suggesting that because one person struggles with smartphone addiction, all of their friends and professional acquaintances should also give up their smartphones and not use them for social or professional interactions?

To an extent, I suppose so. That is not to say that everyone should abstain from smartphone use, but they should show some consideration in how they use it. For example, should they be using a social networking app for communication when a voice call or SMS will do? Likewise, should that staff meeting be held in a bar when it could be done on the business's premises?
The NewScientist headline is terrible. I'm not even sure where in the paper they pulled that from. Maybe it was written by an LLM.

Not trying to defend Boeing overall here, but showing an explicit indication of an AoA sensor disagreement wouldn't magically have averted the two 737 MAX crashes. The basic cause of the crashes (apart from Boeing's dumb design decisions) was the pilots' failure to correctly execute the runaway stabilizer trim recovery procedure. Given that 737 MAX pilots didn't receive any training on MCAS, it's unlikely that the warning light would have greatly influenced their response to the situation.
