Step 1: Purify the supply.

Step 2: Give it away for free in order to put the dealers out of business? What about the producers - does the government get into the business of making drugs as well? Would they need labs to ensure purity? And, hire government workers - arguably, with distribution experience - to give away the good stuff?

Okay, so let's say they succeeded. The dealers are bankrupt. Well, not really - they're now all government workers. But, anyway, they are out of the business of dealing illegally.

I can see that happening. My vision for the future is that voice assistants and LLMs will converge into something as useful and powerful as “Computer” in Star Trek. And that this assistant that will know you and all of your accounts/online profiles, will only need a microphone and an internet connection to function.

So the Apple Watch, for example, could be everything you need to carry around because the voice assistant can literally do everything you can possible think of (besides consume social media and YouTube content).
I imagine there must be a special level of hell for Steve Jobs nostalgics, generously equipped with Power Mac G4 cubes, hockey puck mice, and iPod Wi-Fis…

As I see it, Apple has created some successful new product lines after Jobs: AirPods are a definite success, Watches are reasonably successful.

Existing product lines were improved. I don't think anybody would want to go back to iPhone 4S. Macs have successfully made another architecture transition, and modern MacBook Pros have corrected course from the trend of thinness above all else.
The article says they spent 10 billion developing the Vision pro. If they sell less than a million units and no one is actually using it (so there's no software ecosystem being developed for it) then it's a flop.
I am pro anything that breaks away from the idea that prescribing strong medication is the only intervention for mental ill health and other human ailments.

Over prescribing continues despite the fact that the outcome for patients with psychiatric illness having only marginally improved in the past decades.

I have been on a ketogenic diet for the last 20 years, long before it became fashionable.

There is promising ongoing research into the effects of the ketogenic diet on mental ill health as well as other areas of ill health such as diabetes and obesity.

I always ask myself this question:

What has changed in then human race over the past 100 years that has led to such a huge increases in mental illness and developmental problems. For me there is only one answer.

Our diet!
And then Circuit 1 and Circuit 2 are taken down at the same time because even though they have diverse paths they're part of the same underlying DWDM system which has just encountered a fault.

Ensuring there isn't a single point of failure is not just as simple as 'putting it in the contract.' Carriers can and have groomed their primary and backup circuit on to the same L1 path without realizing it.

TIS-100 is great. The “mesh of many tiny cores” architecture is cool, and also somewhat mind-bending — but the simplicity of the TIS design makes it just about possible to get your head around it.

After playing TIS a bit I found it really interesting to read about the Transputers and the Connection Machines, two similar real-world architectures.

David Ackley’s T2 Tile project[0] and Movable Feast Machine[1] look similar to me too, but they take the idea much further; the aim is to create an infinitely scalable and totally decentralized architecture. I only know a little about it, but it’s super cool stuff.

Why would it? Haskell's a super nimble language in my experience. If you commit to high-level constructs it's like a Ruby but with a compiler that catches so many errors and enables type-safe metaprogramming.

And it has an amazing bytecode interpreter that you could use in dev for super fast iteration + hot reloading.

I do that now in my Haskell engine :) but I'm only starting to build all the bog standard gamedev engine stuff. Would be nice to build on an engine that just provides good infra without caring about logic.

This reeks of the American brain rot that views poverty as a personal moral failure. Some might couch it as "wealth is the result of hard work and talent". The latter is known as the myth of meritocracy. Those are two sides of the same coin.

Something to note for anyone in Lyme disease range: The bullseye is the stereotypical sign, but it is not necessarily going to show up 100% of the time.

Interesting project!

Well, good luck with it. If you're using HPC Linpack, that could be a x2 multiplier difference between your results and my napkin math, as I've been assuming 32-bit Floats, while Linpack is 64-bit Floats IIRC.
I saw Vision Pro demos with extending a MacOS desktop into the field of view, and I was highly intrigued, even at that price, as I've been hoping for something like this since Google Glass (which yes, I have). Everything seemed perfect until a reviewer stated that it only worked with a single monitor display, and I was like "what!?" This seemed entirely a waste of the concept!

My normal desktop is 3x 50" TV's I work in front of, which is more or less what my first thought of doing in Vision Pro with their ability to pull in the Mac desktop, but I would want it as multiple displays as well, same as I use my displays today. Only a single desktop seemed unnecessarily limiting, and apparently I'm not alone as someone has even come up with a product (Splitscreen app) to expand on this at least to 2, but it's still hackish and far from ideal.

Maybe this is a Mac limitation, as looking at what sort of Mac I would need to support a Vision Pro indicated I would need M3 Pro to do 2x displays, or a M3 Max for 3x displays. This seemed absurd as I am typing this on a 7-8 year old dell xps driving 3 displays at 4k on an intel gpu, and a brand new M3 needs a top spec Pro or Max to do so?

If I could replicate my 3x desktop experience in Vision Pro, I had honestly considered maybe even trying a MacOS system again (I use Linux for the past 20 years full time), but without at least that, it's all a half-baked tech demo today. Ideally I could even pull in application windows from the desktop apart into Vision Pro space as well, but multiple desktops otherwise would be the barrier to entry.

Here's to hope Collabora/Valve hasn't given up on XR Desktop for Linux VR Desktop integration entirely yet.
I am kinda surprised they went for an consumer grade off the shelf software.

ARM chips maybe? How the hell do you space something like that out? That's like the only thing of consequence that any of these companies have achieved since 2020
It was just a hobby, it was really just a cut-down Mac mini with a trimmed version of OS X that would just boot into Front Row. It wasn't really more than that.

It only got serious when Apple got into the ARM market with iOS.

I guess the market wasn't ready either. At the time when the first Apple TV was around, many people still had very slow DSL.
Sports maybe... still not really sure why we don't have body cam's for a lot of sports so I can experience it from the players perspective. Would work better for some sports than others. Maybe that's a WIP.

I'm an avid golfer and watcher of Golf on TV. I'm not entirely sure I want to watch The Masters in VR. I really enjoy The Masters but it's still a social event for me on Sat/Sun at a bar and Thurs/Fri it's up on a screen near my work computer.
Great question.

I lost one of my parents through cancer. There are times I wished they were shot in the alley because at least I'd have someone to be angry at.

Alas my faith determines that it was the parts we play as the world is a stage.

I cope by playing my part. I speak fondly. I forgive and learned to be content with the lack of answers. The if only had to stop. I can't stop every poor choice, bad action, or accident.

Hopefully that helps. The violence done to me in my past didn't lead to death. After about 15 years I was able to forgive my bullies and random people who harmed me for my skin color and faith.
? I believe the Rust efforts in Firefox were largely successful. I think Servo was for experimental purposes and large parts were then added to Firefox with Quantum: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko_(software)#Quantum
November 13 was the start of production. (There were a very small number built in pilot production earlier, AFAIK those were not for customer delivery.)

So the number in the recall (3,878) is the population.
I think there's a nice in-between where the problems are both generally useful and also actually do test some concept relatively directly.

Kind of like what FizzBuzz can be like for testing for basic pseudocode programming. Where someone who isn't really thinking about the problem will mess up and go for what seems like the obvious solution on the surface, but someone who understands how to code will eventually realize that the obvious "clever" seeming solution is a trap and they have to do it the plain way.

I've found those kinds of problems to be the most fun to deal with. A math specific example I vaguely recall from middle school involved calculating the number of handshakes that would happen in total if everyone in the class shook everyone else's hand once. The path to the solution isn't explicit in the question, and for someone who doesn't already know of combinations/permutations, it takes a bit of abstract logic to construct the necessary expression. Yet it doesn't require particularly advanced math to figure out and tests the student's understanding of how to translate real problems into math.

Problems where the word problem is just a literal transcription of an equation are not that useful or fun, but also, I think that it takes getting to a fairly high level of education before the math gets advanced enough to more frequently cover meaningful word problem solving (probabilities and statistics, linear algebra, or differential equations), yet the tools for interpreting such problems need to be taught earlier.
I have about a half dozen PRs open, plus more on the way, that will get Bevy's renderer up to rough feature parity with Godot (Godot will have some things Bevy doesn't, like SDFGI, and Bevy will have some things Godot doesn't, like deferred and GPU occlusion culling). I have no doubt in my mind that Bevy's design is solid, but if you're skeptical, we will find out very soon :)
The unanswered question is whether they'll be able to maintain and repair all this new high-tech infrastructure if/when it inevitably fails.

Also, I mentally autocompleted the title as "Solar power is changing life deep in the Amazon warehouse", and it made me cilck.
I think it's worse than that. It's an age when technological innovation is not only diminishingly useful, it's actively, primarily, intended to hurt our interests. Surveillance and enshittification and advertising have become the reason for innovation, and actual benefit to consumers is secondary and shallow.
> Why? Patents end competition as soon as the research is successful.

One can get a patent on a drug, but not on other drugs treating the same condition. We see many similar drugs developed that don't infringe each others' patents. If they are all effective, then the drug makers will be competing with each other, even if the drugs are under patent protection.
Using a good old password means you don't rely on any particular service, period. Passkeys means you do, you rely on either a particular type of device (e.g. Apple device) or a SaaS.

It doesn't matter how many SaaSes offer it or how many brands of devices adopt it. It still means that for access to all of your accounts, you either 1. Have to stay with that brand of device or 2. Have to rely on the goodwill of the SaaS not to suddenly start raising their prices (the comparison here is passwords, which are free).

Before you say that switching providers is possible, that doesn't really matter. Let's say I stored the passkeys on my iPhone/iCloud. And then it got stolen.. whoops! Now I must at the very least acquire another Apple device until I can reach any of my accounts, i.e. I'm tech-dead until I do so.

If switching is not frictionless, it's an absurd level of lock-in, almost making it impossible. I have to go into every single account and add a new passkey? What if I forget one when I switch, then I'm out of luck and can never use the account again?
And timing is key during an interview
Welcome to your Cyberpunk future.
An attempt to store the encoding needed to decode the data with the data, rather than requiring the reader to know it somehow. Your program wouldn't have to care if its source data had been encoded as UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32 or some future standard. The usual sort of compromise that comes out of committees, in this case where every committee member wanted to be able to spit their preferred in-memory Unicode string representation to disk with no encoding overhead.
And the consequences of that are more acceptable to you?
For every single one of your 100+ accounts? What if you forget an account when doing so, then it's lost forever? If one of the 100+ websites is momentarily down I simply have to keep the old passkey provider around until it comes back up and then remember to switch just that one later?
I'm also a huge desktop fan.

I can have multiple huge screens and an ergonomic setup for a lower price than a laptop. And I use it at home 95% of the time. The other 5% I just bring my NUC which is lighter, sturdier and smaller than a laptop. Where I'm going there's always screens and keyboards available anyway.
The above is essentially the entire time period that Cybertrucks were manufactured. Where would additional numbers come from? Not pre-Nov 2023. I'm sure some were manufactured later in April, but there also was a production stop for a week or so, which again suggests that not a huge number was produced since April 4.
If candidates know going in that it's a leetcode interview it filters for "do you want to work here so much that you'll spend a month or two drilling on these exercises". Which can be a useful filter if there are thousands of qualified applicants.
So? Everything did less back than. The Vision Pro needs to compete in a world filled with smartphones, tablets, laptops, monitors, computers with multiple monitors, docking stations, televisions, etc. Most of what the Vision Pro offers is also offered by those existing technologies. And they can do a lot of it much better because they do not need to work within the same constraints as VR devices do.
Can you talk more about how you have managed to stay on the ketogenic diet for decades? It seems so crazily restrictive in the context of our society’s current relationship with food.

Also, especially in North America, being some place first has not historically proven to be a sufficient claim.
So when you follow the link under "Apple initially had a sales target of 3 million Vision Pro units in its first year", you'll see that this number came from Bloomberg's Marc Gurman, and is based on nothing.

The author bolsters his argument by quoting Ming-Chi Kuo's similarly unsubstantiated "800,000 units" claim. Since the 72.5% accurate¹ Kuo can't possibly have guessed wrong, his face-saving explanation is that Apple intended to hit that number but has since had to slash production.

Only, this doesn't agree with Kuo v2023.09, who noted, "Based on some component suppliers’ maximum production capacity estimates, Vision Pro shipments in 2024 will be at most 400,000–600,000 units"². (The Financial Times, The Information, and The Elec all reported on the 400-500K unit limit imposed by the availability of the ultra-high-resolution OLED microdisplays manufactured by Sony.)

Also, Apple was telegraphing fewer than 400,000 units in 2024 way back in July of last year.³

Look, I understand that analysts gonna analyst. But anybody with even a tiny bit of tech history knowledge should understand by now that Apple plays the long game. This is just poorly-researched, long-form, "gotta generate engagement" shitposting.

If you are the dad, spend time with her. Everything I have read suggests "daddy's girls" do better career wise.

Holds true in my family. My sister was "daddy's girl" and ended up with a serious career. I didn't get the same attention because he was in Vietnam when I was little and I never felt close to him. I always felt like he loved her, not me.

It wasn't true. That's just unfortunate happenstance, but my sister got something I didn't.

Our educational achievements in high school were extremely similar, including winning the same spiffy scholarship to the same spiffy college.

She got a real career. I was a homemaker for two decades.

Well, that... and decreased infant/youth mortality, and increased population density, and increased pollution, and novel models of what qualifies "illness and problems", and social fragmentation, and cultural erosion, and de-institutionalization, and expansive communication, and sedentary lifestyles, and... well, and about a quite a lot other potentially contributing things.

That said, I actually think the large variety of possible contributors better makes the point about how pharmaceutical approaches are shallow and inadequate anyway.
