There's seems to be a study every two months because they're easy to do, and people are hoping the problem will have magically fixed itself. But from a quick google and (https://cepr.net/report/the-continuing-power-of-white-prefer...), in 2022 the unemployment for white high school dropouts was 3.4% while the unemployment rate for black people with bachelors' degrees was 3.3%.

Another - black people get 50% fewer callbacks in general:

https://hbr.org/2017/10/hiring-discrimination-against-black-...

Here's a random Ipsos poll that finds US attitudes on higher education virtually indistinguishable by race (which understates black educational values based on other studies I recall, but to say that the value put on education was indistinguishable is enough, considering the outcome.)

https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/news-polls/all-americans-see-val...

An interesting quote from a guy who ran a study reported on in Fortune: "White participants who opposed affirmative action were more than twice as likely to select an applicant with a white-sounding name compared with applicants perceived as Black – whether or not they had to make the simulated hiring decision in a hurry.

"By contrast, giving white participants who favor affirmative action unlimited time to choose a name from the hiring list reduced discrimination against the job candidates with names they perceived as Black-sounding by almost half."

What this means is that the 50% fewer callbacks (mentioned above) for black-sounding names became only 25% fewer if you believed in AA, but if you didn't like AA, you would call random white-sounding names twice as often as random black-sounding names.

So, I wouldn't say this random selection of links proves what I said true, but I'd say that it points pretty heavily in a direction.
My point is not that no wealthy people save things. My point is that a lack of minimalism is often an indicator of the class where one grew up.

You cannot compare just the raw salary using the conversion rate, the cost of living is different everywhere.

In Tokyo those salaries are enough to live like a king, more than most big cities in the world.

Here you can get a decent family house close to a station for about 100~150k per month (and even buy one for the same range in loan).

No need to own and pay for a car because the public transportation is amazing.

Pension and healthcare are all fairly cheap and automatically handled for you.

Except for education which is super expensive, it's pretty easy as a senior engineer to end up saving 300~500k every month with just a single normal job.

Again, why? What if I want to be removed? I bought my VR headset during the pandemic precisely for indoor escapism.

I want to be transported and immersed into another universe, not see AR stuff floating around between the same four walls of my tiny apartment that I see all day everyday. It would drive me nuts and I can do that stuff on the cheap with my phone/Ipad.

Before trying the site I assumed the way they would resolve this is that the distance calculations would be made relative to the point at which you held the map, but what actually happens is that the map is drawn uniformly no matter where you hold it. and of course this is an impossible representation due to the reasons you describe as well as the differences in mappings between a path that is configured to be walked in one direction, but traveled by vehicle in the other.
We Are Not Alone: The Universal Dangers of Social Isolation (2017)
It appears to be all but Ohio that are down now. It's hard to tell from the status page, though, which says "No downtime recorded on this day" for all locations 2h into the incident. I have one Oregon database that has come back online, though, so it looks like things are gradually being restored.
FWIW, this is also the case for many video platforms on Mac and iOS (and I assume Windows and Android as well). It's not limited to Vision Pro. I believe this is because of studio pressure.

My unvalidated assumption is that if I can take screenshots of a movie on my Mac, I can also record the full content and duplicate the movie. Thus, this is a copy protection measure.
Even on a Linux desktop OS with a single user, it's still a security risk as it skips over a last line of defence.

If a Chrome bug is found that allows web pages to arbitrary code execution, it can be chained with an exploit like this to infect more than just the user account, potentially, depending on the computer, the firmware itself.

Yes, personally, I'm actually very bullish on CPU inference for both models and the vector DB.
The problem with constitutional, parliamentary democracy is that the bulk of the government is an bureaucratic, administrative structure which is not elected, and doesn't change. Thus, the entire government, as such, actually isn't democractic at all. Most of it just cares about its job security more than anything else, and also about ensuring the most funding for its own division. If you understand this one thing, a lot of politics falls into place.
I know several very high productivity - as in ultra-productive, super human level with the compensation to match - people that use timers. Everything they want to follow up on they toss into a phone timer. When it goes off they deal with it. Whether that's putting it into a formal calendar whatever. Pretty no-muss no-fuss solution.
This is an educated guess, but I believe unprivileged Docker containers cannot create (user) namespaces. Hence, the vulnerability cannot be triggered, since the exploit requires interaction with nf_tables, which requires (namespace) root.

LXC containers and privileged Docker containers allow these namespaces to be made inside of them, whilst unprivileged Docker containers do not.
Got it in 5 :O
The creators of Cargo didn’t want to have namespaces. That seems like the biggest mistake. Then you never get official-looking names just because they were the first ones to ask for them.
> The sound is transported along the tube via air — a very simple solution. Though this also explains why they sound absolutely terrible.

I see it is simple, but I wonder, would it be possible to use different sound medium ("conductor")? Some liquid, water perhaps? Would elasticity of the tube eat more signal than is lost in the air? Too heavy? Leaky? Questions…

The USPS could help, but they can't solve the entire problem alone. A lot of this complexity stems from our dual sovereignty system where state governments have the power to determine residency status and levy taxes on that basis. California, for example, has a long document with guidelines for determining whether someone is legally considered a "resident". If you're only present for "temporary or transitory" purposes then you can't register to vote and aren't subject to state taxes for income outside the state. But determining "temporary or transitory" status is a gray area for nomads: while the document lists a number of factors it's ultimately a judgement call by government officials. And the rules between states aren't consistent, so in theory someone could end up as not being a legal resident of any state, or of multiple states simultaneously.

Not sure how this could actually work, what with trademark law and stuff. It would be extremely legally interesting.
On ships like this the propulsion is separate from the steering. There is a separate rudder that is close to, but not attached to the prop and propshaft. The propshaft is fixed. The rudder doesn't just "restart in a random position" it would remain in the previous position unless there was a physical piece that broke in the rudder gear.

The fact that ship was able to reverse hard ( as evidenced by the slowdown), indicates to me that the prop was most likely still attached to the propshaft and hadn't flown off to mangle the rudder.

We still don't know exactly what happened on board, but it is interesting to work through possible scenarios.

Pilots certainly have experience with ship handling of 100,000 ton ships, that's their job. Pilots coordinate the moves of multiple tugs to assist with docking regularly.
> If they can use the main language, awesome. If they can’t, a higher-level scripting language with native support (e.g., Python) should be adopted, since it provides the means to increase maintainability in the long run.

I think this point is especially important for C++ projects. It is my gut feeling that C++ and Python cluster very closely in terms of developer familiarity. That is, a C++ developer very likely is also a passable Python developer.

Given that it tends to take more time to write a C++ program than the equivalent Python program, the stable result is that many C++ projects 1) expose C++ to Python (via e.g. pybind11) and 2) write all scripts in Python.

And you get almost all of the benefits that the article suggests, because almost all C++ developers are also Python developers.
I agree it doesn't make any sense. But this is unfortunately the deal with Hollywood and they surely just ported the same functionality from iOS.

Because apps on Quest are universally games, and those pretty much never use standard controls. They don't even all use the same engine, so Meta would have to provide a UE SDK, a Unity SDK, etc.

I never felt this was remotely an issue with the Quest, and more than it is with desktop games.

IIRC Wolfram had a blog post about how everything is developing a data/computational angle - he called it Computational X a few years ago now. Fitting they would call this Computational Astronomy.

My Dad taught me how to play video games when I was around 6. By “taught”, I mean he just let me play, but enforced a rule that I’d have to stop playing if I couldn’t hold an attentive and emotionally appropriate conversation with him while I was playing Ninntendo.

This was hard for me! I had a natural instinct to tunnel vision into the game and not hear anything anyone was saying to me. I’d also get upset at the game and get angry in my conversations.

Training this into me at a young age really helped my emotional regulation and ability to socialize around / during games and not get too sucked into them. This was especially important because I was quite ADHD and that adds a lot of emotional disregulation.

We agree that the Hapsburgs could not have been trying Eugenics-style selective breeding because they lacked the science of genetics.

I maintain that they understood breeding domestic animals very well, and they tried their best, with the resources they had, to selectively breed "better" (aristo) people. (Much of feudalism makes way more sense if you start with the axiom that human society should reflect barnyard large domesticate societies) Even we don't know what would be "good genes" for being a successful warlord, so their approach of looking at past performance and hoping for future results (a noble is someone whose family has exclusively extracted rents for a certain number of generations; a royal is someone whose family has sat upon a throne) seems reasonable to me.

In particular, Charles II (like the Ptolemies and Cleopatras of Egypt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptolemaic_dynasty#Family_tree ) has clearly been line bred. (He is his own cousin — in multiple ways. We might quibble over the distinction between line- and inbreeding, but [a] I was trying to be charitable to the Habsburgs, and [b] I don't think that distinction is relevant to this discussion, so I'm happy to call anyone with too few ancestors "linebred")

If you think people would do better with early-20th century Eugenics than aristocratic societies have done over the last thousands of years, we can have that discussion, but I think it's a different one than I had intended. Along those lines, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39681181 for the problems I would be likely to bring up.

Meta is able to offer immersive experiences where a much larger world is mapped into your virtual space and you can move around and grab things and use tools through controllers. Apple is offering hardly anything in comparison except for a $3500 replacement for a $350 TV.

The obnoxious and irresponsible part is the hubris of thinking you can have a package repository system that's going to not have problems like this and left-pad.

You can't. Ever. This is unironically why languages too old for package repositories like C and C++ lend themselves to stabler, higher-quality software.

On top of that is also the entitlement to feel like people providing you software for free MUST ALSO be responsible for polishing it forever. But, hey, I guess that attitude comes naturally with the package repository mindset. ;D People need to do all my work for me!

It seems like he vendored it in order to avoid the useless alarm bells going off. Don’t we have a `Cargo.lock`? Just keeping the status quo seems fine.

But other people didn’t like it because of these automated alarm bells, hence it becomes “socially desirable” to do something that doesn’t materially make a difference.

There's a sci-fi book I read a while back that had as a plot point an alien species that had algorithmically optimized its decision-making processes so much that it was no longer recognizably conscious. I think about that now and again when I get a little too invested in some system or practice.
Awesome demo. A challenge where I work is an extreme acronym rich lingo. Is your model open to extension or learning in some fashion to accommodate picking up thousands of acronyms? We also can shift into rapid, specialized speaking patterns that I think are quite learnable but that are not really 'out of the box' for normal software products. I would think many industries could feature their own lingos like this.

It does "take jobs from artists" but it also hugely opens things up for more people. Like, a friend of mine made a parody trading card game a bit ago. Doing custom art for each card would've been completely prohibitive. Instead, she used AI art for it all. Cue lots of hilarity and a good time for all.

Same for writers, another friend is writing a D&D campaign. Again, he doesn't have the skill himself to do good digital art, and dozens of custom pieces is way too much cash at this point. But some carefully-done AI pieces, they mon't be perfect, but a damn bit better than nothing!
What was your experience with the MRI like? Specifically, did you "feel" it? I've had my knee scanned for ACL damage, and have spoken to a few other acquaintances that have had scans as well. We've all discussed having some sensation in the exact part of the body being scanned. We all just happened to similar sports based knee injuries. It was just the slightest of tingling, but noticeable. Definitely not painful or anything scary. Was it just psychosomatic? Very possibly, but it's interesting that we all experienced it.
I agree that Meta has tried but their solution is really completely different than a more traditional OS UI. Meta provides low level convenience functions SDK for the various native app development frameworks (mostly Unity and Unreal) to access the hardware and facilitate common movements, but the actual UI implementation is up to the app author resulting in a helter skelter hodge podge of varying UI from app to app. Even in the first link you provided above, after introducing many alternate concepts then it shows screenshots of wildly varying interfaces across multiple apps.
