It's probably subsidized by Sony, otherwise it is hard to explain how they ship it at $550.

Quest 3 (500 USD), from Meta, is definitely subsidized, given that their hardware bill alone is almost as high as the end price of the product [1] without any inclusion of development cost, and considering that the latest losses of Meta's Reality Labs exceed 4 billion USD [2].

So I don't think there will be anything soon in that price range that can compete with the headsets above. The Quest 3 seems the best deal currently, given that it has a lot of games and doesn't require a PS5 or even gaming PC.

> The first parts of the movement are actually quite responsive but don't result in a huge change.

> If the wheels moved as the drive dictated the car would flip over.

Non drive by wire cars react instantly by virtue of having wheels and steering physically linked. One can tip over such a car in the same way as you describe, the only thing preventing it is a) physics which makes it a bit harder to apply enough force and b) physics which gives the driver feedback that they're doing it wrong.

Which leads us to the crux of the issue here: this DBW implementation decouples the steering device not just physically in action but in dynamics and feedback as well: It's literally a joystick masqueraded as a steering wheel, with apparently little to no force feedback, and very obviously force feedback completely decorrelated from the actual angle of the wheels.

Taking a side road through the bicycle example: one doesn't turn a bicycle by turning the handlebar, one turns a bicycle by angling the whole apparatus, and the front end follows due to its geometry.

The same principle applies to a car's front suspension: the geometry of it makes it resist being turned, which provides quintessential feedback to safe operation. Without this, a critically important signal is removed. A second one is removed as there is jo way to know how angled wheels are relative to the car's body. Throw in latency into the mix and you get a surefire way to create an overcorrection feedback loop and be completely unable to react in even slightly non-ideal situations.

This means that for any sort of safety that should be by design of the chassis and suspension the vehicle relies entirely on ESP, when ESP should be a last resort fallback when the normal mode of operation fails. Instead there is no fallback nor redundancy and ESP MUST work or this vehicle becomes a death machine at the slightest sideway skid that would be perfectly manageable otherwise, even without ESP.

> sane default

This means the vehicle changes its dynamic reaction to driver input. Training aircraft pilots about normal law vs alt law is already quite something, I don't think training drivers about similar things is going to be very successful.
Texas has high property taxes. It's actually not a low tax state as measured by overall tax burden. Texas is also very proud of its massive, well-resourced public schools (and their football teams!), and pours a lot of tax revenue into them.
It’s something to do with how your screen is AirPlay’d to the AVP. I too thought it would be 4K but I think all that was said is something like “4K per eye” but that doesn’t mean 4K for monitors. Text in AVP apps is crisp but Mac Virtual Display is not.

This book sent me into a four-year-long depression and existential crisis.

Best book I ever read. I guess.
Good point. I don’t try too hard to get to native look and feel because as this article implies, that question has already become moot IMHO.
I was responding to this: "There's literally nothing better than HTML for UI."

In general that is false statement. In particular, when it relates to browsers, HTML is the local minimum of what can be done to describe the "UI".

Because HTML (well, DOM) is the only thing to describe the UI in the browser, and it's abhorrently awful. It can barely describe a page with static text and some images (and even then tools like Lighthouse will warn you that "you have too many elements on the page" if you dare go beyond 100 or so paragraphs). For the actual UI (yes, UI: complex layouts, interactions, dynamic parts, states, hundreds of complex interactable objects) HTML is unbelievably incredibly bad. Unfortunately that's the only thing you have running in the browser [1]

[1] Well, there's canvas (Google Docs switched to canvas because of limitations of the DOM etc.) and WebGL (pretty much every in-browser graphics program out there). But they suffer from having to implement literally everything from scratch.

Edit.

Just to show how inane "HTML is superior to everything is", here it is barfing at my static web site that only contains text and images (and a total of 9 Youtube and maps embeds): https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GF__tHjXgAAZGUA?format=jpg&name=...

Yes. It chokes on the insane number of .... 943 elements with a maximum depth of 8.

Apropos of nothing, here's a screenshot of a highly dynamic interface like Ableton Live with hundreds of dynamic elements https://cdm.link/app/uploads/2023/11/CleanShot-2023-11-15-at... that the "technical superior" HTML would not even be able to represent, much less render.

In reality it's very hard to find anything that is inferior to HTML when it comes to representing and rendering UIs.

Thanks for your comment!

Typically people have chosen one book, enjoyed it to some extent, and praise it, but are not well posed to comment on comparative advantages of each book; at most they have skimmed the rest.

You on the other hand have made a sizable time and effort (and possibly money?) investment on writing a book, and you stated that you made that decision after identifying the gap, so I assume that you have a very grounded opinion on the differences / points of view / strengths and weaknesses of each of those books?

It would be great if you could expand a little bit more about each of them.
I cannot even describe how many problems are caused by medicine being shackled to the whims of insurers in terms of how stultifying it is and how many bad incentives it creates to workaround the limitations of insurance.

No idea how to fix the problem though.

While we’re at it, if you like birds I can highly recommend people to get the Merlin Bird ID app for their phones. It has a function where you can put it on your table and it will highlight all the birds whose songs it can hear. Its not perfect (for instance it struggles with the european milvus) but its mostly accurate and especially useful if there is a bird you don’t recognize.

No, housing is a cost, not an productive investment.

What we actually want, as a society, is for housing prices to go down so people can live places.

I predict that Amazon's war chest is such that this kind of abuse with impunity will continue indefinitely unless some powerful countries start seriously acting to break them up. Abuse of labor, distortion of markets, distortion of law and even basic governance are all symptoms of letting companies with both more power than most countries and explicit limitation of liability baked in exist. I'd like to see limited liability killed altogether, but the bare minimum to solve problems like this is very aggressive trust-busting
As someone who constantly likes to amuse himself by making funny (even if only to me) remarks - some of which make their way here and get flagged! - it has nothing to do with hiding or coping with sadness. I have zero energy for wise cracking if I'm sad.

I read their post as meaning people will sit in the same HCOL area rather than make decisions for themselves that would improve their lives, such as moving to a LCOL area.

And that they also won't organize to try and fix the issues with the housing in the HCOL area.

I agree with the sentiment personally, it's why I always tell people to move.

I was watching a youtube video earlier this week about a couple who did exactly that. They lived in portland oregan. they bought a rundown old trailer that no one wanted, put the elbow grease in to clean it up and rented out a space for it.

They then realized that with their income it was going to take many more years than they wanted to become financially independent. So they moved out of state and w/i 2 years had paid off a 2 bedroom home (they had savings and sold the trailer) and were living in it and considered themselves financially independent (they no longer had to work to live).

They talked about how their family shunned them when they moved away and they've learned not to talk to friends about it because it just causes friction.

some people do it, it's just most won't.
Silverlight UIs delivered via the browser plugin were terrible on the Mac. The look and feel was completely off somehow. Even Flash/Flex was better.

I don’t know if Silverlight was better on Windows, but as a cross-platform solution it never worked as advertised.
For a single command acting on a file, especially with no other parameters, like your less example, you are right and I wouldn't, though I have seen it often. There is practically no "left-to-right" flow to break. Longer examples is where I would use it.

Also not in circumstances where explicitly acting on a file like your GCC example. It is unlikely that GCC will commonly be used as part of a more collect pipeline of commands.

Note that I said "I use it", not "I always use it, without fail, no other option makes sense ever". Different tools, different jobs (this is what the Church of Latter Day Demogifiers usual don't accept in this context).
Then you just have a city full of single family homes.
Short answers:
Read, Count, Time, Answer whys, Allowance.
Details below:
Read: From the beginning, read. Baby brains have more brain cells than adults. The first 2 years the brain removes useless brain cells. If the brain knows words are important, it keeps them. It is why some people can never learn to speak like a foreign language like a native, they just do not have the brain cells to properly hear the sounds they are messing up. I have been told Japanese does not have an ‘L’ sound.

My kids could read before they started kindergarten. Not very well, but each could read their favorite book.

Corollary is to practice letters. It is not enough to have the letter chart on the wall, read them off.

Count: Similar to reading. Start as early as possible. Although I am sure there are exceptions, they have found that most kids, if they are good at math at the age of 5, are good at 10, 15, and 20. Likewise if they are bad, they never catch up.

Whys: You never want them to decide they cannot answer a question. Work hard at coming up with appropriate answers that are accurate. Occasionally toss in a ‘I do not know, why do you think it is?’. Later add more questions to spur thinking. ‘Why is the grass green’ I have often asked.

Time: Your kids will and do value your time with them, not the money you spend on them.

Allowance: I have seen many people struggle with finances. In the Majority (not all) cases, their childhood did not involve an allowance, they would just get things if their parents felt they could afford it.

When they are old enough, start giving an allowance. We did it with no chores expected. Chores are what you do because you are a family member, not because we pay you. When you go somewhere and they want a 'frozen lemonade' or a trinket, tell them they are welcome to it, with THEIR money. It is interesting to see how often the NEED disappears.

<way too long story> My son and I were at a festival when he was 7 or 8. I typically have a refillable water bottle with me. Now this was in Florida and it was a hot day. My son turned to me, clutching his throat, ‘Oh dad I am so parched’. I was impressed I did not know he knew the word ‘parched’. Me: ‘Oh that is so sad’ with a concerned look on my face, ‘what can we do about that?’ Son: (stammering for emphasis) ‘I, I think, I need a lemonade…’. Me (faked surprised look on face as I notice the frozen lemonade stand we just walked by) ‘That is a great idea, I think you should’. Son, with the biggest grin I had ever seen on his face, turned around to walk back to the frozen lemonade stand. He had only taken one step to the stand, when I added ‘with your money’. He stopped dead in his tracks. OMG you could see his brain contemplating what to do. He turned around and in a very casual voice, ‘Hey dad can I borrow your water bottle’. At that point I knew he valued money appropriately.

When I first planned out the allowance, I contemplated the alternative solution, which I had seen others play out. In the late teens, early twenties, many friends had to call their parents and beg for money to cover 3 months of rent (2 late and current). So far so good, I have saved money by providing an allowance.
I mentioned Florida as the notable outlier. They have a lot worse other things, but I agree the roads in FL are great.

The real answer is that the potential for abuse is very high, and we need to be very careful when shredding very old societal norms.
What things are essential? A tent, water fountain, and scavenged scraps will keep someone alive. Is a toilet essential, or could you just use the street like the birds and squirrels do without complaint? Is a bidet essential, or could you scrape your anus with paper until you see spots of blood like many americans do? Is internet access essential or could you just go to the library which is free and open to all? I think there are not any objective definitions of what makes a housing situation essential.
So in that light, I think if we're going to consider physical needs, we should probably also consider emotional wellbeing.

Care to elaborate? Obviously something “essential” is a subjective take other than the most basics like “food and shelter”. Walking or being able to take transit to my grocery store is a strict essential for me, but I am sure for people who live in suburbia it is not.

I was born and raised in a city with >2M population, and surely my needs are extremely different than someone who is accustomed to a rural life. Even small things like, sleeping in an extremely quiet rural town has been a torture for me every time I tried it. And I am sure, opposite is true for people who are used to hearing absolutely no sounds at night.

> there's nothing special about yours or about NYC that makes yours better

Well there is something special about the higher cost places.

That thing special, is that they are more desirable by a much larger amount of people.

Otherwise prices wouldn't be so high.

So yes, the more in demand places are better to a much larger amount of people.

I don’t think the author is the relevant person here. The filmmakers are, and they pretty clearly chose to make Durden a charismatic figure and Jack an awkward one. And of course they would - it makes for a better story and overall film.

Beyond that, I think most films/shows are functionally the same. No one wants to watch an ugly, uncharismatic actor just…fail. That doesn’t make for a good story. It seems pretty obvious to me that the vast majority shows are produced based on the quality of the story, not on instilling ethical values. Otherwise why would something like Dexter even exist?
Here's one approach in a very small study, which I wouldn't call a perfect approach but I think it's still probably a modest incremental improvement on the status quo.

> then people decided perl was bad and moved on from that.

Screw what people think. I found out I like perl. The last thing I wrote is a programmatic partition editor [1] - like how you use sfdisk to zero out the partitions, except I wanted to do more than zap, like having the MBR and GPT partition table to combine them and make hybrids.

I was fun, and I will use perl again (I may also use awk at one point now that I see how cool it is)

> In our family-with-young-children-and-gas-heat before getting an EV, the clothes dryer was about 40-50% of our household energy usage all by itself.

A decade ago when I still had young babies and were cloth diapering, we hung dried as much as possible so I definitely concur. However unless you live in phoenix az, it's not a year round solution, and you end up using the Dryer a lot no matter what.

The biggest culprit IMO is that humans aren't building housing based around the ecological area because it's "too expensive" for property developers to do the architectural and environmental planning necessary for 100+ year multi-generation, multi-family homes.

We generally raze an area, and then build what is basically an ecologically dead zone for up to 5 people with imported non-native grasses (lawn) and plants that aren't built for the ecology of the area to last a maximum of 30-50 years [1][2]

Said another way, everything you write is correct, but it's basically moot because human society building and growing in such a way that it is mathematically impossible to be ecologically sustainable.

My issue isn't just with the names themselves but they are emblematic of AWS's overall mentality. They want to have the AWS(TM) solution to X business case while other cloud providers feel more like utilities that give you building blocks. This obviously works for them and many of their customers I just personally don't care for it. It is probably to do with the level of complexity I am working at (*which is not very complex).

Also, I don't think trying to emulate AWS's support and consistent API makes sense as a strategy for other cloud providers. They will never beat AWS at their own game, it is light years ahead. If cloud providers want to survive they need to fill a different niche and try different things.
