They may have them, but that's no guarantee the staff will be willing and able to use them.

Some years ago, I went out for coffee with a friend. The coffee shop's card terminal was down for whatever reason. I could see an imprinter and a stack of the slips on a shelf behind the counter. I even offered to show the barista how to use them, but she...ah...declined.
And they’ll all be in VR if it ever gains success too.

Coherent was $99.

At that time, the only alternatives were commercial UNIX such as SCO XENIX or BSDi BSD/386, which cost more like $1000.

It was the cheapest xNix in the world.

>One ad promised annual returns of 125%, another a 25% return in a week

I have as much sympathy for people who fall for this as I do for people who believe the pills sold in sketchy gas station that also sell ninja throwing stars will "make them a tiger in bed".

I don't even know if better education will work because "anyone promising returns in any amount is a lying scammer" is pretty common and doesn't seem to work.

Randomness is certainly an option. Ignoring information is an option.
So you want to give your biometric info to a telecom? Are you nuts? We already have enough problems getting people to understand "IP's/SIM's/MAC's identify devices, not users".

We don't need to make shit worse.
Stuff like this is a basic IQ test. Financial darwinism.
I wish I had something like this in my head to tie things in together. Right now I feel like my understanding of things is so disorganised and "lucky" in a sense. I feel lucky that I have grasp of anything.
There are charity shops in the UK that get good furniture donated and they resell cheaply, the British Heart Foundation for example. You do have to check regularly to find something of a specific style/type though.

Sometimes they don't know what they have, I picked up a Herman Miller office chair for £30. It did have some paint specs on, which might have been why it was sold so cheaply. They came right off with a damp cloth though.
You're not wrong, but it's also true that China is exploiting our liberal, rule of law way of doing things in the USA.

As for a record of doing harm, mobile apps like douyin (China tiktok) have enabled a total police state in China. Say the wrong thing in a private conversation in an app, and the police will invite you to have tea.

Try being critical of China on tiktok and see how long it takes before you get banned. This isn't a hypothetical, it has already happened.
Sadly, Strange Loop's 2023 edition was announced to be the last:

https://twitter.com/strangeloop_stl/status/15738005283452682...
> While there's still work to do, the TLS ecosystem is unrivalled in terms of actual security benefit delivered to the most people.

Well said!
The telco is in charge of what SIM is mapped to a given number. There's not anything technical the customer can do there; access control is up to the telco.

The telco also needs a process to reclaim the number when you stop paying for it.

Often SIM swaps are done via porting the number to a different telco, and telcos are compelled to do ports in many jurisdictions.

If you're really worried about it, I guess you could look into what it takes to get a number block assigned to you as a competitive telco. That would likely be hard to get transfered out from under you, but the effort may not be worth it.

Also, if the price to get a sim swap is $1k (plus a % of ill gotten gains!), that's high enough to keep out untargetted attacks, IMHO, which isn't a terrible place to be.
Your arguments are from the PoV of the wearer. Sure, as a wearer, you know that you are paying attention to whoever you are talking to, but as someone on the other side, I don't know that.

That's not a problem with sunglasses because it's inherently impossible for you to be doing something else.

The issue that people have with AR glasses (and to some extent, people wearing sunglasses unnecessarily) is that AR glass wearers are thinking more about themselves than the perspective of other person. And then to defend AR glasses saying "I could be doing something important but actually I'm paying attention" is like doubling down on that lack of awareness.

I'm not opposed to AR glassses. I'm just explaining why they are a bit of a faux pas and the people who think they are OK are also the reason why they are not OK.
I would imagine you would call yourself a Software Engineer if what you do for a living is software engineering. I'm not sure that schooling needs to be a factor.
I know this is anecdotal but my brother uses the Vison Pro daily ever since we have had it. He got a Oculus DK1 and a Oculus Quest 2 (I bought the Quest 2 off from him) and if he wasn't wearing it so much I have worn it and the best experience from it is media consumption. Its really a iPad with a ridiculous screen.
Depends who you are looking at.

As a customer of 37signals, I'd prefer they didn't increase the risk on the business by decreasing the risk that their investors wouldn't make money.
Some suggestions for improving adoption of this:

1. Don't have a dependency on hyprlang. Other projects will probably be averse to that. Use a more common configuration language, using a common library.

2. Have a shim layer so that hyprcursor cursors can be used by applications that use the XCursor API (maybe have a drop in replacement library for libxcursor that delegates to hyprcursor).

3. Have a specification so other implementations can use the cursor format as well, in case other compositors/clients don't like your implementation for some reason.

If he was thought of a degenerate that's corroborating evidence here. This picking lines of thinking and then not making connections between them is not a good sign. If your thinking ahh it's obviously a conspiracy that's more evidence here.

Your going to ignore what I'm saying, but as one human to another seriously they may be some drugs etc that can help you get better.

PS: I am sorry if you found this post offensive. I had a more direct rebuttal when I reread "Standard M.O" and "it's always the" and I realized you really may think people are you to get you. Try and remember strangers aren't going to randomly focus on you over the other 8 billion people on the planet. So trust in apathy if nothing else.
CloudTrail is almost never useful on its own. So often CloudTrail will tell you something is denied and give you literally no other useful, direct information, especially as you start dealing with SCP-related denials. CloudTrail gives you a pile of metadata and says "here's everything, you figure it out". A mature audit solution would tell me the exact policy and line number that caused the denial and not play these guessing games.

The comment about out-of-the-box policies is true, I suppose, but hard to take seriously. Almost every policy example you encounter in the AWS documentation is insecure by default. They've gotten better over time noting this and pointing to better examples for different use cases. But it's still pretty bad.
Yeah, it could be a “bad thing”, but it won’t be a bad thing just because prior norms have been broken.

We’re already deep into the process of merging modern technology into every aspect of our lives, and in some cases it’s been bad. In some cases it’s been a necessary evolution to survive in a modern society. In some cases, it’s been good.

On the one hand, I worry that face helmets will further erode human connection, and people will live in a lower resolution reality than what is possible with direct human contact. On the other hand, the current reality is that more and more people are looking down into a slab of glass instead of up/out at the world around them.

It could be that the ultimate version of AVP (some kind of glasses that are barely more noticeable than AirPods) is what gets people to look up/out again.

The “bad thing” is arguably already here, and it’s just a question of whether future tech will make it worse, or do a better job of merging the real world with the digital world, enabling people to participate in both instead of disappearing into their pocket computer.

> currently playing audio metadata

Plain old Bluetooth has supported track/caller data for many years now (ex: AVRCP 1.3) so it should be no surprise that cars were made that read and display that information.

That said, if my car persisted that information I'd be rather suspicious.

P.S.: It's also not unknown to have a certain level of address-book contact sharing over BT, since people were making hands-free calls in their car long before CarPlay/Android-Auto came around.

Amazing personage. Sad she killed herself.

I do not understand this because because the more we go back in history, the more likely only rich people have access to education (well, with miraculous exceptions such as Michael Faraday)
No sir, there was a mix. Any time you see a Lithuanian surname with "-auskas" it's because of exposure to Polish culture. There were tons of Poles in Vilnius. And Lithuanian aristocracy became rulers of Poland, starting with Jogaila.

But the most ridiculous thing is that multiculturalism killed it. It was partitioned by foreign imperial powers, eg. split between Russia and Germanic powers.
There is also another thing that comes into play: rich people go to rich places and come into contact with other rich people. Not all those rich people are honest business men, so to speak. So connections into shady things is not that difficult if you hang around in those social circles.
Businesses are not their target market, never has been. They dominated the mobile phone market with their iPhone, and the iPad is still a gold standard product for tablets compared to the dozens of shoddy Android versions out there (coming from someone who leans more Android than Apple with their tech). I can see GP's point regardless of the rollout. Before the VR app stores become such critical masses, Apple will have plenty of time to delight users and capture market share. They have tons of cash and great execution.
I'm generally very skeptical of brand/store loyalty type arguments, but lately I've found that in the US, Macy's furniture is still good value for good quality. I've had to completely furnish a few rooms over the last couple of years and looked at all the usual, e.g.: costco, ikea, wayfair, jordan's, etc., as well as expensive hand-made local shops, and I keep ending up at Macy's in the end.
At some point though we do need to get people to stop just doing shit because a post on Facebook tells them to. Sure impersonating someone to defraud people should be a crime, but also the fact that people think "random page on Facebook[or whatever]" is sound financial advice is just a common sense issue. If someone approaches you on the street and tells you "give me money and I'll invest it to make you lots more" they'll ignore them, if some random on the street says "you should buy X because you'll get rich" they'll ignore them.

Falling for these scams is a common sense issue.

It's so transparently scummy/scammy/catering to the reader's sense of smugness. I'm sorry, but you're not smart if you (1) don't realize the bait (2) fall for an otherwise obvious scam anyway.

I can't. There's basic thinking issues at play, multiple of them. At different times. Compounding. So stupid!

also, LOL at them using Cathie Wood, it's absolutely like scam emails, they're auto-filtering out the people with basic common sense or taste in financial advice, ha.
I've had decent success with reddit r/BuyItForLife. Seems like mostly good recommendations and not too much shilling/advertising.
Apple has a massive cloud, but they don’t sell it or really want to sell it.

I think they’ll want local because it fits into their profit margins and pushes higher end hardware. Imagine really having a reason to buy an iPhone18Pro or whatever.

And I think llms will be able to scale digitally if they are compact enough to run locally (ie, Apple pays for development once, deploys it and then all operational costs are on the client). This is really different from openAI, and other cloud LLMs, where each user has a marginal cost to operate so requires a monthly recurring cost.
People can justify the price of an iPhone as they use it ALL the time.

Eliminate recruiters by putting everyone to work
I think the entire recruitment industry should be overhauled by an algorithm which is designed to match available jobs to the available worker pool, and is optimized to reduce the amount of available workers (not by forcing them to take jobs they don't want, but finding them relevant jobs they do want).
This feels like a "no free lunch" situation. I would imagine that any time saving in approximating the gradients this way would be lost to needing to train for more iterations due to the loss in gradient accuracy. Is that not the case?
> Vision Pro is a meticulously over-engineered “devkit” that is far too heavy to have product-market fit but good enough to seed curiosity into the world

That's exactly what I think. And that's exactly why I bought it.

I have:

* Oculus Rift 1
* HTC Vive
* Quest 2

None of those made me want to write apps for them. They have nice games and I spent quality time with them, but just playing. I tried watching videos and it was ok, but it was still better to do that on my TV. I tried actually working with them, and the resolution was not enough.

The Vision Pro? It's the opposite. Games, such as they are, are underwhelming. It doesn't even have many '3d' experiences, windows are mostly flat (for now). And guess what? It excel at all the tasks the others fail at, because it's an iPad with a different form factor. If you can work from an iPad, you can work from the Vision Pro. Even watching videos is a better experience due to the passthrough, as you can still interact with people around you(if you so choose) – you can passthrough with the Quest, but you have to choose between your content and the world.

So now I'm spending my time learning how to work with it. It has incredible potential. It is not the mass market device yet, but the next one should be transformative.
The threshold for Cassandra / Dynamo scaling is increasing is probably the only point. "Big data is dead" is pretty stupid to say, typical clickbait marketing by a database that will probably be chucked away by something else trendy in another year.

But at a certain point, a 10,000 core 5 petabyte single megamachine starts to practically encounter CAP from the internal scale alone. It already ... kind of ... does.

And no matter how big your node scales, if you need to globally replicate data ... you have to globally replicate it over a network, and you need Cassandra (DynamoDB global replication is shady last I looked at it, I have no idea how row-level timestamps can merge-resolve conflicting rows updated in separate global regions)

You can find good techno in almost any large city because those DJs tour a lot. I don't think you're going to find something like Berghain in any other city, but if your city has any kind of underground scene at all, there's going to be good techno nights. Like I could go out tonight and see Loco Dice and Marco Carola in my city in the US.

And don't assume that people in other cities don't get it. There's lots of underground clubs where people that go out are 100% into it for the music and "get it" and aren't just going for bottle service and VIP or whatever.

Yet I expect that Siri is still the most widely used voice assistant just because people don’t really use many complicated commands or queries.

Don't know how I feel about the article. There's some good advice sprinkled in there, but then there's complete nonsense in the form of "read while shaving".

There is a major difference between earbuds and sunglasses. There is a lot of subconscious communication that goes on with facial gestures (including but not limited to eye gestures). This is where the sterotype of poker players wearing sunglasses comes from.

Would the new generation be get used to it? Probably. But that does not mean it is healthy. We have gotten used to a lot of things that are objectively bad for us.
the article is a bit lengthy, I read 50% of it and had to pause, but I did ask Gemini to summarize it for me:

"This is an article about time management techniques used by the author to graduate college in three semesters. It discusses setting clear goals and staying focused on them. The author also emphasizes the importance of making decisions quickly and not being afraid of failure. Other techniques include prioritizing tasks and working in long stretches of uninterrupted time."
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I don't see much of it.
