Yeah the UX definitely wasn't immersive. I liked the idea of a heads up display and have never really wanted a full display experience, Glass would have fit really well for me.

These days I don't even want that, but that's almost certainly of a combination of getting older and over reacting to how pervasive tech and displays have become.

> we need to trust people to do engineering and decide for themselves how to use that grammar.

i agree with this very much, but one snag point in a lot of projects is when people do pull-request reviews and there are disagreements about "what is readable" or "easy to understand" then a lot of time gets wasted going back and forth so having a style-czar approved format can make things smoother because there isn't much to argue about any more

That is pretty catastrophic contamination. Wonder if any of the contaminated meat was sold.
Makes total sense to make cursors SVG, kind of crazy that nobody has done this b4 and that it's that outdated. Then yet again, handling SVG takes a lot more than some uncompressed images. So my question is how many resources, ram ... does it actually take to make some 200kb SVG as a cursor compared to some old uncompressed picture that might be bigger, but it's simply put on the screen 1:1. I guess it COULD be just about the unit process but if it's full SVG support than cursors can now be animated and be calculating all kinds of shit inside the SVG.
> One way to look at VR headsets is that it's a better computer display -- as large and immersive as you want, without physical limitation.

I just don't agree, because VR's input system is fundamentally flawed. The Verge actually did a good video on this, the input of VR is just wonky. It makes you want to rip your headset off and just use your laptop/tablet (and I'm aware they can act as companions, but at that point...why do you need the headset?). I just don't see how that's going to change anytime soon. There also -are- physical limitations, for one, it's exhausting to wear for extended periods. You have absolutely no peripheral vision, and how is that going to be solved? Even if you made it light, unless it's as light as a pair of glasses, it's not going to be something I want to put on for several -hours- a day. You can't walk away from it; you have to physically remove it.

The best move imo, for VR/AR is as a "background" tech, it can physically remove us from our devices and shouldn't be a new fully fledged computer I'm putting on my face. You also have to understand that generations after Millennials are steadily enjoying -less- "in your face" things, and I think that's the right. I think the future is going to look a lot more like "Her" and a lot less like "Ready Player One," at least on the mass market.

This can change in 30-50 years, but right now? It's just a gimmick and junk drawer tech. Unless there is some crazy jump in the tech in the near future (I doubt given Hololens and Oculus and now Apple have only marginally improved it over a full decade,) I don't see it as anything that is going to penetrate my life.

If the students know the core concepts and mechanics of Calculus and Linear Algebra, which is entirely possible for high school students in certain parts of the world, it's possible to teach a lot of core physics ideas with simple models.

In fact, in my undergrad, the Physics lab and theory courses were flipped - you look the lab course before the theory course. In the lab course you used simple maths and simple experimental setups to probe phenomena in mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics etc. Doing experiments/observations in astronomy, quantum mechanics are also possible at that level.

That actually seems like a very reasonable approach. So reasonable that I assume it will eventually be ruined when management or ownership changes and the next crew comes hunting for efficiencies to cut costs.

Most things are just so short term focused these days that there are few incentives to build a slower, more stable business (or product, or government, or social network, or news media, etc)
It’s not terribly difficult to make your own React renderer, and it’s fun to have full control.

I’ve written a React renderer that has both a canvas path for graphics and an automatically generated acceleration path for video layers:

sort of; the idea of having a phone and 'instant message' to always grab attention is ridiculous; text-chat all the same to me; if i have an emergency, blow me up with an audible alert ( a call of some sort, a mention with particular rules in place to not get over-mentioned ).

Email is crap-tier for internal communications IMO in that companies have 1 email for folks and it allows external entities to spam users (even if its internal spam). internal communication should be separated from external communication, this will help lower the phishing attack surface.

i'd argue people should treat "IM" like emails; get a response eventually; if you want immediate attention, schedule a calendar/meeting with somebody.

The biggest problem i see with chat-software is the attention-grabbing-notifications; silence all that stuff, and check on IM's every hour or so - set it up so that @mentions _might_ notify you in select channels.

I find it sad when doing a paired programing session, on a scheduled-meeting, that folks get _so_ distracted by the pings, popups, ect of notifications for queries that are not urgent. They need to practice 1) patience and 2) diligence in responding to things they've been directly mentioned or have knowledge about
"Miss Julie" has exactly as much inherent context as "Riemann Hypothesis", or "Kubernetes"

No it doesn't. Let's think super hard. "Miss Julie" could be anyone named Julie. What else would "Riemann Hypothesis" or "Kubernetes" mean?

If we took a random sampling of people off the street,

This isn't 'the street', it's a tech website.

Anyway, what's a better title? "The Real Miss Julie (being a character in an eponymous 1888 play by Swedish playwright August Strindberg)"?

Yeah, that's much better, there is actual information and context.

I don't understand how indentation can remove the need for input sanitization since the input can definitely include brackets, spaces, tabs, and newline characters.

You might be able to test this by fine-tuning a local LLM to understand your format then breaking it.

literal bytes. this is one of the primary methods modern IDS/IPS engines, like Snort and Suricata for example, use to fingerprint traffic types and otherwise indicators of compromise.

OpenVPN traffic, even encrypted, can look unique enough somewhere in the 'stream' (to borrow the IDS/IPS term) to be reliably idenitfied.
Do you want machine spirits? Because that's how you get machine spirits.
Having tried the VP out for a week, I categorically disagree that VR is going to have remotely this level of impact on humanity. Having to wear something on your head to compute is fatiguing and isolating. You can’t bring your existing peripherals and audio equipment unless they’re proprietary and wireless. Passthrough video is nauseating and blurry even at the highest refresh rates. The paradigm is also intrinsically inaccessible to the blind and disabled.

The immersiveness for entertainment is neat, but this seems like a relatively minor use case in the grand scheme of things. And with gesture based controls, gaming is pretty much a non-starter.

Do you really envision a future of families hanging out together on the couch, each member with their own VR goggles…? Halfway through my return period, I realized that I much preferred reality.

FWIW, I love my Quest for the occasional gaming romp, but little else.

> All king moves other than castling move the king at most one file, so when you see a king on e1 and the move is e1g1 or e1c2 which is a move of two files you can infer that it must be castling.

Yeah. For some reason I had a brain fart and thought that the two castles moved the king 1 and 2 files, instead of 2 and 3 files, and that made me think you needed to disambiguate a 1 file castle with a 1 file move.

Which is clearly dumb. I blame insufficient coffee.
It needs to support some table of contents concept, pretty limited tbh. This looks like a very basic app. Who do they know at TC?
Coming from a senior Oculus lead, the most interesting thing about this write up for me, is what it lacks: it says almost nothing about the software stack / operating system. Still 100% talking about hardware at the bottom and end user applications at the other end. But there is no discussion of the platform which to me is actually the highest value proposition Apple is bringing here.

In short: Apple has made a fully realized spatial operating system, while Meta has made an app launcher for immersive Unity/Unreal apps for vanilla Android. You can get away with an app launcher when all you want to support is fully immersive apps that don't talk to each other. But that fails completely if you are trying to build a true operating system.

Think about what has to exist, to say, intelligently copy and paste parts of a 3D object made by one application into a 3D object made by another, the same way you would copy a flat image from photoshop into a Word document. The operating system has to truly understand 3D concepts internally. Meta is building these features but it is stuck in a really weird space trying to wedge them in between Android underneath and Unity/Unreal at the application layer. Apple has had the advantage of green field engineering it exactly how they want it to be from the ground up.
> what is the base image for the generated image?

Default is none (i.e. like "FROM scratch" in a Dockerfile); you can specify a baseImage if needed, but I haven't had to yet. It works by copying parts of the nix store into the image as needed, but see also below.

> wouldn’t the image size be large if the glibc is copied over again

The original Nix docker-tools buildImage did suffer from poor reuse of common dependencies. Docker already has a way to reuse parts of images (e.g. if you build 7 images where the first N lines of a Dockerfile are the same, the 7 images will use a shared store for the results of running the first N lines). There are several backends for Docker storage that accomplish this in various ways (e.g. FS overlays, tricks with ZFS/btrfs snapshots).

Nix docker-tools now has a "buildLayeredImage" that uses this ability of Docker to share much of the storage for the dependencies, so if you build several images that all rely on glibc, you only pay the cost of storing glibc in docker once.
Nice!

Fixed machinery already does most of the welding in automotive manufacturing. Changing that to a movable base doesn’t seem like an impossible problem especially if you can use a fixed point on the object and then use relative coordinates like a CNC machine. I could easily see a robot pulling out stamped metal parts, making a couple of welds and then stacking them up.
The paper in [4] is absolutely fascinating - I'm very much a neophyte here, but I believe it shows that practically any ReLU network can be represented as a tropical ratio of two tropical polynomials, and thus can be analyzed with geometric principles including visualizations of surfaces. It's been cited in more recent work: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=1003719112553620451... - does anyone know if there's been any significant advancements here?

Whether or not the involvement documented rises to the level of a 1A violation is an interesting legal question but ultimately not the one that I'm primarily concerned with.

The question I care about is: is the government taking a direct and active role in censoring online speech? The answer is a clear yes, and nobody is really disputing it. I find the arguments here ("well twitter helped", "it wasn't technically illegal") to be very weak defenses. Paid employees of federal agencies should not be involved in the moderation processes of social media companies.
Sometimes you find the truth at the bottom of HN. It hurts, I spend my early adulthood trying to learning most of the topics on this page thinking it would make me a great software engineer.

Not directly related to this but I once was forced to deal with risks of trichynosis from undercooked bacon (long story) by drinking copious amounts of whiskey, after finding some old research which suggested the method. Bit of a hangover the next day but fine other than that.
One can absolutely work in groups using Lisp. There are a lot of examples for that. Often the groups don't need to be that large when working in Lisp. Code in larger projects tends to be more compact. I heard for example of 1/10th of a large (1000 persons) comparable C++ project at Lucent many years ago.
It should be noted that the author is the creator of hyprland/hyprlang, so perhaps not too surprising that they made it a dependency, although I do agree with you.

> They're concerned new slightly thicker window frames might destroy the character of their 60s water-stained concrete brutalist eyesore.

As a huge fan of both brutalist architecture and so-called 'tilt and turn' windows, I had already braced myself for feeling conflicted about this when I clicked through. But no, there's nothing particularly distinctive about the windows that would be lost in a renovation. Here's a high-resolution picture for those who want to see for themselves:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/63/Arlingto...

Notice that only a few of the sliding windows are even open on what appears to be a very pleasant day, so sliding-vs-tilting doesn't seem relevant. I don't think the extra centimetre of window frame is going to be visible from the seaside anyway!
Well... what about that palace of mind thing, and the ability to rewind into almost all older memories at will, and on demand being able to look up things from there, like reading, without having it memorized at all? Also full stream of consciousness, like smells, tastes, light wind on your skin, 'silken air' at just the right temperature and humidity.

All of that arranged in something like 'eigengrau', represented by glitterlike points connected by graphs, mostly in 'phospene' colors, but not exclusively so.

Sometimes very non-euclidean, moving/warping.

KNOWING what's behind every glitter point, like small cinema, large home theatre, from several points of view at the same time.

No words involved. Just visuals.

Thinking, like juggling/weighing blobs, like that glowing stuff which moves slowly up and down in a lava-lamp.

Somehow 'knowing' what each blob, its size/form/viscosity/weight/speed/color/brightness/'feel'/smell represents.

Slowly emerging new 'visuals' from this. Which are then translated into 'language', if ever.
