As the owner of a pair of one of these glasses, I really like using them in bed at night as a monitor that isn't mega bright while my partner is asleep.

Or whilst sitting on the couch as I don't like having to look down to play games (and saves my arm from getting numb from holding up a Steam Deck).

I hope that due to reverse-engineering these protocols we'll finally get some cool (open source) features out of these! The one I have (xreal Air) is really comfortable to wear, but the 1080p resolution is more like 720p due to the fact that pixels aren't always crisp when reading text (I think it has to do with the prism), so e.g. a head tracking larger desktop would be amazing.

I think there is already some work on that (e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/Xreal/comments/16cj63g/steam_deck_h... ), but I'm waiting for it to be good enough to integrate with e.g Hyprland/wlroots so I will use it.

It'd also be cool even to have something like PaperWM track left/right head movements.

a nasty, brutal peer-vs-peer war is going on right now between what is one of the largest militaries in the world (Russia) against a smaller, but heavily supplied by NATO (Ukraine).

most of the fighting, and a whole lot of dying, has been with late-cold-war era tech. The upgraded T-72 tank, and it's successors, the T-80, and T-90, for example, are all far older than 2006.
The first software I made that had users other than myself was a Lemonade Stand clone for the TI-83 Plus. I shared it with people at my school using a link cable and, as there wasn't much competition in the calculator game market, it was a big hit. The next school year, I attended a drivers ed class at our crosstown rival high school and found that my game had somehow spread to that school as well! I have no idea how it happened, but it was very satisfying seeing something I made have a life of its own. Ben Brode was on the Search Engine podcast recently and shared a very similar story.[1] I wonder how many other programmers of our generation had this experience.

One thing that my game had that the original did not (and I don't know if I invented this or copied it from the version I played) was a hidden demand parameter that persisted between days. Advertising and word of mouth from satisfied customers would cause it increase, while customers going away empty-handed would cause it to decrease. That turned the game into a kind of clicker where the numbers could continue to go up and up. I also added the ability to save your game by serializing the game state to an image file, since that was the only way to save data on the TI-83 Plus that wasn't likely to be clobbered by another program.

Algorithmic content is not free speech. The government can't make Facebook censor this message or that message, but they can certainly restrict the usage of algorithmic content feeds - that is not protected by the first amendment. I'm not just talking about Tiktok either, this is the issue they should be legislating on, and it should target all social media companies.

There is also legislation giving them to right to regulate foreign ownership of companies. It's scary how much of our stuff is owned by foreign governments. Seems like a national security risk.

For this China having TikTok spread propaganda or addiction in the USA does not then give the USA permission to nuke China as a consequence.

This should be a simple yes. External authoritarian governments (Russia's IRA, CCP via bytedance) should not have their thumb on the scale (trollfarms & the algorithm) for what is viewed in western democracies. I'm actually amazed that this view is controversial.

There’s no violation here. The injunction said they couldn’t prohibit linking out; it didn’t prohibit Apple from continuing to charge money.

Ah mate, I was having a pretty good day, then I read about this. :(
Your list of drivers of property values is missing the single most important factor:

• how much can one borrow?

Mortgages drive house prices so long as demand outstrips supply: which it always does in desirable places. Demand can always increase in a healthy city - I want to have multiple houses in different parts of the city and I could even AirBnB them out to defray costs or make a profit.

I live in Christchurch, where we had a lot of houses selling at below ½-price for a while because the bank rules forbade giving mortgages on those houses. This was after our 2010 earthquake and banks would not lend on uninsurable houses. The houses were often safe and liveable but uninsurable due to fine print (e.g. require even floors <50mm drop across entire footprint). They were often economically fixable, but to fix them needed money or a mortgage! There are still "as-is" uninsurable houses on the market - the price discrepancy isn't because of demand per se but because of mortgage/insurance restrictions - although the pricing gap has significantly narrowed (flippers and cash-buyers create enough demand for the very few as-is properties that now go on the market). I bought a spare as-is property and there's reasons not to sell it (even though I can't insure against say fire).

Christchurch zoning rules were relaxed for a while plus our government was committed to more housing so Christchurch now has many more houses than a decade ago. House prices are going up even though you can effectively only get variable mortgages in New Zealand at 7%. We have more house supply but demand is outpacing that because we also have high immigration (30% of NZ population was born overseas and we still encourage immigration).

As an individual buying a house the market dynamic is visible - I borrowed as much as I possibly could to buy the best place I could afford for my home. Bank lending rules drove my pricing. The "market" price for the house did not set my price (low competition blind deadline bid - I could not know what others bid and a price could not be accurately calculated for my property). Market price is set by competition between buyers - most buyers are borrowing as much as they can.

The economically worst part is that it is a zero-sum game with everybody competing for how much money they can give to banks for interest payments. We all lose.

The graph of sold house prices in a city looks strange - a severe cut-off just below the median price. Investigate the underlying cause for that and everything will be revealed?

Coming from a construction background, I can confirm all of this. Permits are out of control, material prices are nuts (not COVID nuts, but still at least 300% higher than the good old days), and subcontractors are both hard to find and more expensive. It's not crazy to build a decent 3-4 bedroom house and have it cost $400k all said and done, even in my small-big-ish town.

A lot of people in here arguing, bet there are very few of us that have actually built houses before :)

Sure, municipalities do need to consider infrastructure. I was just responding to someone saying that the market decides who can live in an area, which just isn't the full picture.

In areas where the power grid is struggling to keep up with demand, the municipality will need to plan with that in account. If you expand housing in an area where you've made driving the only transportation option, that will straightforwardly lead to more cars on the road. And so on.

But at least in my area, municipalities largely seem to be trying to keep housing density at or below the level it's at now, which is a problem when we're facing a housing shortage.
Hi there! Sorry, I've been busy. I only saw that someone posted this post to HN about an hour ago, and I've been scrambling a bit to catch up.

A Vile Child Exploitation Cult Run by Nazi-Linked Teens
The reason why TikTok is able to spy and botnet on Americans is because we have no effective data privacy law. This is deliberate because the CIA and NSA buy shittons of user data from adtech data brokers to do an end run around the 4th Amendment.

Stopping TikTok without gutting 1A would be very easy: just copypaste GDPR into local law and make sure we have someone enforcing it. The problem is that the US government likes it's spying and Congress isn't interested in reigning them in.
It’s also why people stay in toxic, abusive, exploitative relationships. They just get used to it.

> In a hypothetical scenario of superintelligent or supercapable AI imbued with some physical capability of force, we'd be the marginally weaker species before we hit the threshold of "pet".

I think it's much more likely to be a step function than a gradual difference.

In the world where AI gradually gets competitive with, and then more intelligent than, humans than you have an entrenched power able to recognize this and pull the plug. This is where I see the selection bias - everyone assuming that things like "AI safety protocols for a superintelligence" are something we could rationally even hope to plan. Pre-being-able-to-directly-manipulate-the-physical-world, what keeps a step-change superintelligence from making a joke of your protocols by manipulating its way around it thanks to the squishy humans being dumb and irrational in comparison?

Isn't the doomsday scenario precisely NOT that? Where it gets wildly imablanced humans can even notice? Not "Hitler, but a bit above human intelligence." More like god, who doesn't even NEED humans to maintain its datacenters because it already solved things in robotics and machine->world interaction that humans haven't been able to because it's massively superintelligent?

And like I said, that may not mean "pet" - that's the best case, right? The worst case is ground under their feet like an ant or smaller creature.
Nginx, the open source project, wasn't "safe". It was merged, released, came with documentation, and it had public use.

If there's enough data to suggest that with a high degree of probability people using their cell phones in certain ways while operating a vehicle causes damages then yeah, there should be a market for that.

Even (maybe especially) extreme suffering can create resilience - I suspect it’s not optimal for happiness, but that’s not what this is about. This is about resilience.

A less resilient person may have a perfectly happy and content life doing things that aren’t as hard, that’s true of most people.

But someone who has something extreme happen to them will have a way higher fucking bar for bad. If you lost your family in war the stress of a startup is nothing to you.
> Are there any smartphone models that receive as much love, and last as long?

Most smartphones have planned obsolescence[0] built in, so they force you to upgrade. A truly long-time phone would be one of those 'dumb' or 'feature phone' phones by Nokia.
