Bigscreen VR appears to be an accessory that relies on an external device for compute and head tracking and power. As far as I can see it's basically just a tiny OLED display you strap to your face.

With AVP, Apple is taking a bet that the accessory nature of previous attempts is why this product category failed and so they're trying to embed the compute and make it wireless.

Unfortunately for utopian visions of VR goggles, we're running up against the limit on how small computers can be, so the idea of a standalone headset as light as Bigscreen VR is essentially science fiction at this point. Not to say it won't happen, but if that's what it'll take for this product category to take off then your optimism is misplaced.
Stolen, or deliberately scrapped by the owners? It’s entirely possible they legitimately thought that the FCC wouldn’t care about the AM requirement in their license.

The owners would almost certainly know that the thing went offline. They would have a maintenance schedule, and power bills to pay.
There are so many bugs now but we live with it as it is free.

(2023) "AMD Ryzen 9 7900X Performance With ECC DDR5 Memory"

https://www.phoronix.com/review/amd-ryzen9-ddr5-ecc

"When plotting the benchmarks with a statistically significant difference, there was just a handful of benchmarks within the 2~3% faster range when ECC was disabled. As shown earlier, the Graph500 HPC benchmark was the outlier with a ~8% difference toggling ECC. PostgreSQL and Hadoop were among the few real-world workloads with the 2~3% difference, which is a small price to pay for the benefits of ECC.
It's great that the desktop AMD Ryzen processors continue to support ECC memory while still it's ultimately up to the motherboard vendors whether ECC is to be supported. We're at least seeing more AMD Ryzen motherboards come to market with a server focus which in turn is great for allowing more motherboard options with ECC memory support. My testing with the ASRock Rack 1U4LW-B650/2L2T 1U server (ASRockRack B650D4U-2L2T/BCM motherboard) continues working out very well and hasn't yielded any platform troubles with all of my hundreds of hours of Linux testing thus far."
Ugh. Cyberpunk I don’t like specifically for its neon darkness and these RTX-enabled monochrome colors and ambients. Same for modern young streamers who like “pink from one side, blue from the other side” lighting. Also speech is all f on f on f. Recently I watched SF/CP comparison video that ought to show superiority of the latter. But it left very mixed aftertaste. Yes, CP is much more “technological” and “produced”, but SF is at least not a bunch of teens who can’t change a lightbulb and learned about the word “fuck” yesterday.
I don't doubt you mean well, but you still spread FUD, right off the bat. And went on to give ok advice, I'll give you that, but still. You start off with "running/exercising is inefficient and will fuck up your joints", I'm saying do a run-walk-run and know that exercise helps adherence to a good diet. What do you think is the better advice?
> although it DID increase massively, just not as much

It's shrinking very rapidly as we have this silly argument, even as you'd admit that no action was taken to reduce spending: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M1SL

About 60% of the increase over the pandemic has disappeared, as people spend down the accumulated wealth. That's not "massive", and just not consistent with the idea of "money printing"; the analysis is complicated, and has as much to do with supply effects (not as much stuff to buy due to impeded production/shipping) as it does with pandemic relief aid.

I'm happy to have this discussion and to educate you about these issues. But not if you insist on painting things with ridiculous smears like "printing money" (and especially when you start with outrageous claims that are clearly lies you picked up from partisan media).

Re benefit for who. We will invest our time where it makes the most sense.
If you’re familiar with platform risk, you’ll understand that we’re not exactly eager for our existence to be subject to the whims of Apple and Google.
It is important for the children to learn about different feelings, their control, and so on. This is not an excuse to use anger to control kids but I think you shouldn't avoid it at all costs or you will burn out or lose faith in humanity. It's not binary, angry or not angry, because there is a full range of emotions between the two end points. For example, there are few things that make me angry anymore but my older child hitting the younger one to hurt him, e.g., to revenge something trivial such as stealing a toy, which has unfortunately happened once or twice, makes my blood boil and I am happy to make it clear that there is a limit to my (and everyone else's) tolerance. As a sane person you then feel bad about losing your temper. Dealing with difficult emotions and explaining them is part of raising children.
Remount in read-write mode when you specifically want to make changes.

Yeah still though, if we're going to be funding basic research (a necessary though not sufficient step in drug development) then drugs should be affordable, and the government should be able to negotiate on prices.
I highly doubt the owners didn’t notice a power meter being removed. The theft angle is a bit hard to believe.
> IME, the only "test coverage % rule" that I've ever seen work was "must not decrease the overall percentage of tested code".

That’s a stupid rule and not measuring what you think it is.

It fails if you just delete tested code.

It fails if you remove some code thats tested and add some tested code, but not enough.

These are all extremely common for any refactor. Here is a simplistic example but imagine the same principles applied to a large set of changes. Dozens of files, thousands of lines. You cant just manually account for that.

50%:
100 lines of code. 50 covered, 50 uncovered.

remove some function and its 44% from 40 covered, 50 uncovered. Failed.

Or remove some function and replace it with something better thats not as long. 44 covered, 50 uncovered. 47% coverage. Failed.

A stack overflow post about this.

https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/4007...

This inevitably leads to worthless tests to increase coverage and avoiding optionL refactors.
> Steve Jobs also preferred PWAs and hated the app store.

Steve Jobs died in 2011. None of the apis that make a PWA had been developed by then. How can you know what he preferred or hated?
>No, Irongate was very much internally developed by AMD.

My confusion comes from wiki entry for AMD-640 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_chipsets#AMD-xxx I assumed 741 was further development based on 640.

> AMD was well aware of the "sketchy" nature of ALI/VLI/ULI/SiS

From my limited experience in practice AMD-751 was more problematic than KT133/133A. Those were still the times when hardware reviews had sections dedicated to "Stability". For example https://www.anandtech.com/show/718/5

"Even when running the DDR SDRAM at CAS 2 settings, the system did not crash once within 24 hours of our stress tests. We continued to run the stability tests and finally the first crash occurred after 34 hours of operation. Considering that this is FIC's first try at a DDR board we were very impressed with the stability of the AD11."

Personally I dont remember many vendors sticking with AMD chipsets after switch to Socket A, at least in Europe it was all VIA with some ALI/SIS. As for price its all on AMD, nobody forced them to manufacture at Dresden. If chipset was so strategic AMD should have sold it with minimal/no margin. The way I see it AMD was just seeding the market making sure to avoid chicken and egg problem.
is this for running displays or is this being used for production assembly machines? (eg gpio usage)
It goes both ways, dude.
But it sounds like we have found agreement on the point that the MIT license is setting up an option B, where a person is blocked from contributing for legal reasons?

That is the big difference between MIT and GPL. With MIT licensed software, sometimes you have software that you can't legally adjust (or help others adjust). With GPL ... I mean it might be technically possible with some wildly creative approach but I haven't heard of such a thing.

> Most people, outside of GNU-centric places like this post about Emacs, prefer more liberal licences.

Controlling someone else's computer through legal means isn't liberal. I'm sure a liberal could call for that and accept a little ideological impurity.

If software is property, it has a new owner after it is sold and they can do what they like with it. That isn't what copyright does, it creates some sort of Frankenstein permanent-rent concept where the owner often doesn't maintain anything that is at odds with technical and market realities, relying heavily on the prosecution of victimless crimes. Which although arguably a desirable thing (I don't think so myself though) is illiberal.
> You and the author appear to be the same guy.

We are not. We’re not even on the same continent.
The context from the GP comment already made it clear which government, I don't think we need to re-clarify which country we're talking about at every level of the conversation:

> We really should have something like the NLNet in the USA.
ATM as far as as datacenter GPUs good the price/performance is the only metric that counts (power costs are almost insignificant relative to how much a H100/etc. costs).

So Intel only needs to come up with something relative cheap that's good enough (it can easily use > 4 times more power to perform the same task) to force Nvidia to cut their insane margins.
The apps are being run on a supported OS which doesn't have all features. Your framing is bizarre.
Money they own because the profits of the company far exceed the R&D costs.
In my experience most "big picture thinkers" are actually just saying things with no idea of what they mean, what the consequences are, how to actually do them, and why their idea is bad.
Solar arrays are low to the ground and comparatively sturdy relative to construction like housing. Are they particularly at risk? This seems like an argument you could apply to any industry in the coastal tropics. Yet there is industry in the coastal tropics nonetheless.
No idea. I was in high school then, and am retired now. The lady who owned the bindery where I worked closed the shop in the 1980s and has been dead for 15 years.
> If you remain 'senior software engineer' your salary will be constrained by the market range for that position.

The salary range is somewhere from $100k to $600k in the US depending on the company. So if you hit the cap at your current company just move to one that pays more. If you've hit that limit at a top tier company then you can start moving to higher IC roles such as Staff.
Right so gloves are an obvious win if you have a cut on your fingers or something like that. Chefs could generally be relied on to use them in that situation anyway, for their own protection. There are a lot of acidic salty things that hurt.

In other situations, food-borne illness mostly happens through cross contamination. Gloves would help there too if one changed them frequently, but people tend not to and it’s hard to make them do so at appropriate times. Some studies show that basically they are more likely to wash their hands when needed (likely because you feel that chicken juice on your hands) than change gloves. That’s why it’s debatable. People either wash their hands or change their gloves, and (excepting things like a cut on your fingers) whichever they do more is probably safer.
Your first two sentences are contradicted by the quote and your followup.

Ues the FCC cares and yes they must use it, when using the FM teansmitter.

The FCC most certainly should be monitoring these compliance requirements. I suspect someone at the FCC noticed they weren't transmitting, asked, then the owner claimed the just found out.. someone stole the tower!
They give every released fix a CVE-number.

If you use the newest released kernel of a supported branch, by definition you have no open CVEs (except those that other organizations manage to get assigned).

If you use something older, you will have many open CVEs.

Basically saying that the CVE system is useless without saying it.
To me the key skill is to “act angry” while at the meantime suppressing any actual anger. I think it’s important to demonstrate to children what society expects of them and how people respond to bad behaviour but at the same time I believe one should never “act out one’s anger” as that can lead to a loss of control. I always tell myself they’re “just kids” while at the same time reminding myself I owe it to them to role play the situation. It seems to me a very easy thing to do but I know many people who simply don’t get it at all so I must be lucky I guess.
Currently for displays, but with Edge Apps you will be able to run workloads that interfaces with sensors etc over GPIO (and USB/Serial).
I’ve worked on many sites over the past 10 years.

Never once was the conscious decision made to not be accessible to prevent bots from scraping.
`git init` whines (hints) if it is not set. GitHub decided to generate 500 StackOverflow answers by switching to `main`, which makes things really confusing if you init locally, create GitHub repo, and try to push to it. Setting it to `main` for me is the path of least resistance since I don’t care either way.
This is just how language often works. A term is co-opted and becomes increasingly associated with more things. Rarely are people able to reverse this process, so to narrow the associations requires a new term.

Scrum is easy to criticise. Agile less so.
One such Agile criticism is about principle “that working software as the primary measure of progress”. I understand the sentiment but it’s not enough, it’s got to meet the customer’s needs.
Scrum is far too sprint release coupled. Sure you could separate them, but are you really doing Scrum then?
Sweden is usually ranking vet high on health care, both in results and research/innovation. One big reason for this is that we very early on gathered a lot of medical statistics on the population through the "health ministry", which have later been used in research. All this have fostered and cultivated innovation. The biggest victory however is the benefit of the results it had brought the population (and the world).

If done with care this can have a big impact! Very exciting Germany is doing this!
Doesn't sound anonymous if it can be trivial unmasked. Sounds like the setup for one of the most egregious medical leaks of all time. Germany pwned.
>Consider what happens when the Taliban runs out of troops. The United States has a 28:1 advantage.

The US conquered and held Afghanistan for 20 years and we could have done it for another 20+ years, we just lost the political will to do so. I'm in total agreement with getting out of Afghanistan, as ugly as it was.
Kinda funny but when the rubber hit the road they did delete the word “Progressive” from “Profressive Web Apps”. Talk about a complete failure in branding, they should have done that years ago but the PWA pushers had the congenital fault almost all marketers have which is the inability to see themselves the way others see them.
Anger got me into self-hosting. It is such a driving force for me. The trade-off would be reliance on predatory cloud services such as Amazon or Google, which is (for me) always worse than the many hours spend maintaining open source software.
Isn’t teams quite an old product?
I have some prebuilt tools in vanilla JavaScript. I just copy/paste what I need from my tools and use WebSockets. I can be up within 90 minutes with everything tested and have a large web app that fully loads around 800ms cold and as fast as 130ms in Chrome. Then the next day is content, database (optional), and finally event test automation in the browser.
I think you misunderstand the article.

Getting angry can be healthy, because it shows you care about something that is going wrong, in your opinion. It's the way you channel the anger that can be productive or destructive.

I think a lot of problems spiral out of control because people _don't_ get angry when they actually should. And being kind has little to do with not being angry. The most unkind people I've met don't get angry; they just let things slide, because they don't care about you, or about things being right in general. They are usually cunning people who smile and are agreeable for expediency.
Totally agree. It’s like people are treating AI as a hammer and everything is a nail. Not every single problem needs to use AI but all anyone can think of is AI when there’s a problem
The juveniles suffer from some of the weaknesses of their parents and all of the weaknesses of the species.

The context of the social group may also have instilled poor social habits in both the juveniles and the elders.

When the elders have gathered enough simple experiences to understand these factors clearly instead of simply seeing the juveniles as being unquestionably destined for greatness in Learning and Civilisation, it is likely that a real social bond can be formed.

Improved communication and gestures of mutual caring have often been observed subsequently.
> Telling customers "well go use this other platform" is not an effective way to build or grow a platform.

Honesty is the best policy.

Telling customers they should expect to run apps that don't support your platform is not honest.
>Without equipment, logistics and ammo to support it it's a dead weight.

Russia is an industrial country. They managed to build more tanks than anybody in WWII and this was while being invaded.

>Also, it's very interesting that you omitted Gulf War, which would be the most similar conflict in terms of power dynamics.

Most of the Iraqi soldiers surrendered as soon as they saw coalition forces. Only the Republican Guard remained to fight and they were only around 75K. I doubt the Russians will surrender en masse like the Iraqi regular army did.

Maybe in rare cases, but in my experience, literals (numbers or strings) almost always have _some_ meaning where giving them a name helps readability. In my experience, it’s rare that “a number is just a number”. And sure, in those cases, naming them is silly.
Funnily enough, your Mac laptop in the real world has better pixels per degree of vision. If you just take the headset off it’s more clear.

The Vision Pro wants to be a VR headset that throws away the existing VR ecosystem. No VR controllers, no beat saber, no Oculus Link, no PC VR.

At the same time, it wants to be a productivity machine that can’t compile its own code and has the same software limitations as iPadOS.

Mobile airplane computer? It fits in a backpack worse than a regular laptop and gets 1/10 the battery life. You could buy an economy plus subscription from United Airlines for 7 years for the same price and just use your laptop on the plane.

I agree that Apple has paths forward to fix all of this, but I disagree that they will go down those paths. I see Apple products like the iPad stagnating because Apple refuses to take them beyond a constrained vision. Apple will never let you install applications outside of their walled garden and they’ll never let you compile code on the Vision Pro.

That’s fine for an entertainment device like a $500 Quest 3 but a $3,500 “spatial computer?”
Most programmers are anything but outsiders. It's not a niche profession anymore

Their suggestion for log2ram does help for the most part but depending on what the pi is running, even that doesn't completely solve it. I've burnt out a number of microSD cards running a Pi-hole instance. I finally gave up and moved it to a tiny x86 with a SSD.

Yet I've been feeding ADSB-Exchange and FlightAware from a Pi Zero for years and never had SD card problems.

I really like Alpine Linux for the Pi, running in it's own read-only mode where changes must be committed to disk. But unfortunately, Pi-hole isn't compatible with Alpine (at least last time I checked)
Ask HN: For what purposes do you use a Raspberry Pi?
Hi HN,

motivated by the recent top post on longevity tips for a Pi[1], I'd like to know what you are using it for.

I myself use one as a NAS to store personal documents. It runs Openmediavault[2] to provide a SAMBA share. Once per day, it runs a backup[3]
to a 1 TB cloud storage[4], which itself comes with automated backup snapshots.

Suicide by cop, instigated by life-after-death fiction.

Should the publishers be made responsible? How about mandatory warnings like on cigarette packs?
The issue is that an opt in solution might make the system unviable in the first place, which reduces utility for everyone. Of course, opt out should be simple, but if the majority of people don't care and the data is anonymised properly, I don't really see the issue since this is used to further the sciences.
The solution is to improve web app capabilities and security, not to devolve back to platform-specific fiefdoms just because there’s kinks to work out.

Disentangling apps from OS-specific environments is how we introduce competition back into computing.

Apple and Microsoft are the most valuable companies in the history of earth due to these fiefdoms and it’s about time we got some reversion to the mean.
> Linux kernel on its own doesn't run software.

Linux runs /sbin/init.

Meh, none of this is at all convincing and I’d expect to see these things, based entirely on fear, even if landfills were completely benign.

But even if true, this is just making the argument that we should probably try to put them further away from people’s houses, which sure. I don’t want to live next to one even if there’s no risk at all so I agree.
