I own one of each, and develop for the Vision Pro through my job, it's the very same story it's always been. Apple hasn't 'invented' much here, but the magic is in how it's assembled, even in its current state, using apps in a 3d space feels better than anything the quest has ever done. Even simple things like 'touching' a panel just feels more natural on the vision pro than the same experience on the quest, mostly because the quest does things like forcing the ghost hand to stop at the surface of the window, instead of continuing to track your hand through it and just using the intersection as the touch point. It's a small difference in the interaction that makes a world of difference in usability, which Apple is very good at.

Don't forget the prerequisite bad audio mixing in the theater. Movies are boomingly loud followed by incomprehensible dialog.

At least at home I can rewind or put on subtitles.
This probably isn't necessary. Anyone past beginner is still sometimes playing one of the best moves for each move, and when they don't it is probably not bad in a predictable way.
My understanding of the level submission process is that you send Nintendo the level data and the inputs required to complete it. So theoretically, if you cheat by injecting artificial input data, you could submit a level that's effectively "TAS only".
What kind of movies are you going to to? I witnessed zero bad behaviour at Dune part 2, Godzilla Minus One, or Poor Things in theatres. It's not even that high brow stuff. Just not the typical marvel shovel ware.
On the flip side, once you have fixed the problem it has a very strong tendency to stay fixed. More importantly, the fix does not typically require me to remember that fix months later.

Has consumerism really aligned comfort and happiness?

I guess with a short enough time scale maybe, but most people don't seem happy to me. The sheer number of distractions (and pharmaceuticals) in our lives seem to be a symptom of deep unhappiness that we are consciously or subconsciously burying.

So is it right, to make docker reproducible it needs to either build dependencies from source from say a git hash or use other package managers that are reproducible or rely on base images that are reproducible.

And that all relies on discipline.
Just like using a dynamically typed programming language can in theory have no type errors at run time, if you are careful enough.
Ah yeah that's a major turn off
I'd say it's a social mechanism more than anything else.

While I haven't used the service myself, I expect the UX steers people to generate video-based content themselves, which is an evolution from the Twitter-era "spontaneously text as many tweets as you want" vibe.

The "human" value of things versus the "computer" value of those same things are vastly different:

1. Text data may be one of the highest forms of human perception, but computers find storing it as trivial beyond enterprise-scale needs. Of course, it becomes important to a computer as soon as it's interpreted as code.
2. Photos are often on the level with text, but the data takes megabytes of information.
3. Video data typically adds a marginal increase in human value, but is typically data-heavy.
4. Interactive software packages with high-falutin' UX, most notably things like games, are the pinnacle of conveying human meaning, but also cost quite a ton of data.

I anticipate the next evolution in 10 years might be the development of shareable game-based experiences, with the deluge of amateurish production values we see in today's videos.

So one of the pillars of the article is that docker builds aren't reproducible, but Nix is.

But... is a lot of that irreproducibiity (apologies for that word) because there's no guarantee one of the docker layers will be available?

And... does Nix have some guarantee to the end of the universe that package versions will stay in the repository?
> amazing displays

This is the thing that kills me about theaters. They've just not kept up with display quality at all. Your normal theater projector is 1080p, digital IMAX is 2k, and laser IMAX is 4k. Eventually they'll get 8k IMAX as well but so few theaters even have laser IMAX as it is. And on top of that you are generally going to have better colors, brighter whites, and blacker blacks on a high quality panel than is achievable with all but the top of the line IMAX digital projectors.

So the way I see it, there is absolutely no technical advantage to going out to a movie theater over watching at home unless it's something uniquely special and you happen to be lucky enough to be near a theater that offers that unique advantage (ex: Oppenheimer in 70mm analog IMAX).

And like you said, the social experience of attending a theater (at least in the US) is just not great. I could see the appeal if you were watching a comedy or something like a marvel film where crowd reaction could potentially add to the film but even then it's probably not worth the exuberant cost relative to watching at home.
I mean... most European countries (modulo some exceptions like Germany) existed (non-continuously) for at least a thousand years.
I wish languages took this approach, not sure why they largely don't.
I remember a few years back reading how cellphone signals will cause mental disturbances. I'm not claiming it has, though sometimes I do think the world is going kind of bonkers.

they get the chance to adapt to new stuff that's happening and profit from it, however the only ones left without a say are the users that generated that content.

I think it would be fair to say that previously accepted terms and conditions shouldn't ethically count for this, and user data previously generated should be shared for AI training only on an opt in basis.
Mostly because it holds the language back due to backwards compatibility concerns.
I guess I find the modern movie theaters so much better than they used to be. Things went from hard, thinly upholstered stadium seats to these giant leather powered recliners and assigned seating. Heck the assigned seating alone is worth the price of admission these days so I don't have to stress about a bunch of jerks beelining for the premium spots.

The price of snacks and drinks is what stings the most, but even there I do find the popcorn the best there is. Overall it's not an experience I can replicate at home.

The timestamps thing is part of ensuring that archives will have the correct hash. Nix ensures that the inputs to a build, that being the compiler, environment, dependencies, file system, are exactly the same. The idea being then that the compiler will produce an identical output. Hash's are used throughout the process to ensure this is actually the case, they are also used to identify specific outputs.

No, the article is about you connecting to your home from the corporate network over OpenVPN. The case you are describing, while possible, is highly unlikely to be detected unless you are using a public VPN. Most of the time your employer just cares to check a box saying employees are working from the US and has no incentive to go the extra mile to active traffic monitoring and deep packet inspection. Hell, some are so incompetent, a CTO once said employees can work offshore as long as they are using Remote Desktop to a VM in the US because then they are “telecommuting”, but they can’t connect over the corporate VPN.
If I am being charitable it is probably partly to do with how much music is coming out, it is basically impossible to listen to all new DnB releases so it helps that they get categorized so you can find what you want.

If I am being uncharitable, some people just want to differentiate to feel special. Elitism in genres is nothing new either, rock and jazz have their own blend of genre snobbery and I am sure even Classical had people trying to look down on others from adjascent, equal height high horses.

We like "going out" to a movie ~5-6 times a year, just for something different. The cost is getting pretty hard to stomach, but...

Right now we really wish we had the option to watch Dune 2 at home. My FIL is staying with us this week and we're all excited about seeing Dune 2, but my wife is in the middle of chemo and had to miss last week's treatment because her white blood cell count was really low. We don't really want to go to the theater and possibly expose her to illness.
The standard library has a bunch of requirements that a random third party library likely does not have. Like ABI compatibility (most people recompile from source often so it isn't needed). Like exception safety (most people turn off exceptions anyways so they don't need such safety).

Some parts of the standard library like std::vector is already good enough. Other parts like std::unordered_set are rarely used in industry unless low-dependency is a requirent.
I think it depends on the sci-fi to some extent but Foundation is itself a highly dad book series (a publication history covering much of the boomer/gen x/millennials timespan, a massive dad cohort) and the TV show is sort of like HBO Rome in space.

In that case streamDockerImage produces script that you run then you pipe output to skopeo or docker.

nix2container wraps all of that and it automatically runs it in behind the scenes when you call nix run.

The whole image generation is much more efficient as well. In the standard streamDockerImage you get a script that generates a docker layers and the image. In nix2container all layers are stored in nix cache so subsequent run doesn't regenerate them. I believe that was the main goal behind this solution.

Another benefit (and I think it is even better than the caching) is that it also allows you manually specify what dependencies go to each layer.

The automatic way that the code offers, is nice in theory, but because docker has a limit of 128 layers, in practice it starts nicely then the last layer is a clump of remaining dependencies that didn't fit in previous layers.

With nix2container I managed for example to create the first layer which contains just Python and all of its dependencies, then the next layer are my application dependencies (Python packages) the last layer is my application.

With this approach a simple bugfix in the application only replaces the last layer that's the size of a few kb. Only a change of Python version will rebuild the whole thing.
All Vypr obfuscation options pass. I'm surprised more people don't use VyprVPN, but then again, it's professional options are limited. I.e. surfshark's ability to choose specific data centers and IPs.But I bought 5 years of Vypr for like 50 bucks 3 years ago, so I'm pretty invested

> They had to take their own photos and develop them, put up signs, and publish catalogs for people to find homes. Keeping up with meetings, phone numbers, and all the tasks in between was beyond a full-time job.

Uh, houses still need pictures taken, virtual tours and drone shots are a thing now, house needs to be staged, signs are still put up, publishing to the MLS isn’t instant (or no effort), you still meet clients in person, open houses need to be advertised and staffed, you’re at the closing, and you negotiate with other agents/clients.

I don’t see automation as making anything above obsolete.

Finding a house is a little easier but you still have to take your clients on showings and negotiate with the other agent/client. I’ve seen clients buy the first house they see and some see close to a hundred and never buy.

And for both sides you have to deal with emotional parties, who have either never gone through this process or do it once a decade at best if not longer, and know nothing about the industry on the whole. The _general public_. Even if you are in a HCOL area specializing in more expensive houses you will still deal with lunatics.

And I’ll agree there are good and bad agents. If your agent isn’t doing everything and/or more of what I listed above then you have a bad agent.

I don’t understand why some people pick a realtor at random (or through a sponsored ad) then go on to say “all realtors suck”, yeah and if you go on upwork and hire the cheapest or first result you’ll have a bad time as well.

Can some people do it all themselves? Sure, if your time is worth nothing or you’re ok with doing a subpar job. Will prices come down? For some people, largely the same people who sell their house to websites for under market value and think they got a deal. I predict we have agents that charge more than now in some cases and represent a more premium end of service. Giving up an extra percent doesn’t matter if the agent is able to make you more than that with the knowledge and system they have.

On a million dollar house, 3% is 30K. That’s a rounding error to offers/counters. Even on a 200K house 3% is 9K. A staged house with good pictures. priced correctly, and can swing a house value for more than 9K easy. Even doubling those numbers (as it’s done now) is far from crazy for the value a good agent provides.

WRT the standard library. There are tradeoffs. Yes, a big standard library that has everything you need is great, as long as it is well designed, well maintained, and has some mechanism to prevent the whole thing bloating every executable.

But executing well on that is difficult for a number of reasons:

- the release cycle of the standard library is (usually) tied to the compuler, which often means it can't evolve quickly.

- backwards compatibility is a much bigger deal for the standard library. Which means if you have a big library you will eventually have a big pile of deprecated APIs you will probably never be able to actually remove. It also feeds into the next point
- new development in stdlib can be hindered by the need to get it right the first time.
- the creators of the language probably aren't experts in every area. Which means in order to include say, a good compression library you either need to recruit someone who is an expert to write and maintain the package in your stdlib, or link to a library in another language, and the latter is still really an external depency.
- a large stdlib is a large maintenance burden

Python has a large standard library, but it has parts that are deprecated and/or largely abandoned, including packages for technologies that are no longer widely used. And its http packages are rarely used directly because third party packages like requests or urllib3 are better.

Go's standard library that is praised here isn't perfect either. The log and flag packages are often insufficient, and the implementation of net.IP is suboptimal [1].

I think probably the best balance is to start with a fairly small standard library, and when community libraries for key functionality become popular and stable, then pull them in to the standard library or otherwise make them official. And maybe have official libraries that are external to the stdlib and maybe have less rigid backwards compatibility garantees that can move faster than the language itself.

This article has 2 major problems:

1) It seems to somewhat conflate "more power" and "an order of magnitude more training data". I don't think there is any particularly strong evidence that more training data is the key. We know from things like AlphaGo that AIs are using training data very inefficiently. Humans learn to play grandmaster level Go with many less games than it takes a computer; arguably orders of magnitude less data. We need better graphics cards/chips.

2) The evidence to date is that every time we add an order of magnitude more FLOPS we get transformative improvements in performance. AI can now make a decent-enough attempt at every field of endeavour humans are active in; including arguably superhuman performance at artistic work and being much better read and more reasonable conversationalists than the average person. It is quite challenging to name a field of endeavour where AI isn't becoming superhuman in practice, let alone in theory with enough computational power to call on.

At this point I think the onus is very much on the people who think AI won't improve to justify themselves. This is the most obvious trend I've seen in my lifetime.
I think no one really enjoys working with sheet or excel. Apart from the inability to handle large data, have such a high/unintuitive learning curve for most data analysis operations. I can see this tool become a ‘metabase’ for everyday usage of data analysis.
I’m conflicted with this. Though my opinion matters little since I don’t have kids and may very well never have any.

But if I have a hypothetical child, I wonder if I’d give a stab at helping them become a world class athlete, musician, etc.

Many of those people started extremely early in life, and supposedly only were able to achieve what they did by doing so.

One of my friends is an incredible pianist. As a non-musician, I feel he is easily as good as anyone that goes on world tours.

But he tells me he is at best mediocre as a professional pianist, and had no chance to become better because he started at age 6 instead of before age 5.
I'm going to go out on a limb and hazard "geo-specific demographics" as the core driver of typical behavior in pubic.
You’re moving the goalposts. Privacy from the data harvesting private sector, and privacy from the State, are different propositions. We see clearly talking about the former, and Apple has a….fairly good, but imperfect track record with the latter.
I could have written this myself.

Maybe part of it is getting old and cranky, but it feels like the social contract is completely broken, and it's everyone for themselves. Or perhaps given the title, 1/3 of people broke it for everyone else.
That's fair enough. I guess I am just surprised that there would be only two clubs. Most clubs here don't specialize in one genre except the "core edm" clubs but that might be an artifact of our distance from everything.

Rather than popping over a city to enjoy a different scene, we try to sprinkle a bit of all scenes into the one city.

I am sure we don't hold a candle to the scene in Berlin, but I think my takeaway is that I'll be thankful we get a sampler of many scenes here.
>Think about being a PoC in the 1980s

In the Jim Crow era, black people were called "colored people." You would see "whites only," and "colored" written on signs everywhere. It was and is generally considered a racial slur. It fell out of favor after the Civil Rights era for good reason. I find it really peculiar and unfortunate that term has been reborn today, albeit slightly modified in the term "People of Color."
