Articles in this spirit pisses me off so much, and they’re increasingly becoming trendy. I hate it because they promote the wrong ideas. Downscaling and re-scoping a project is NOT the same as corner cutting. You can almost always come up with an execution strategy for doing a good job while utilizing the available resources to perfectly fulfill the agreed upon requirements. The notion of what’s perfect is always relative. I’ve seen and experienced first hand, over and over, people dismiss basic risk management, due diligence and responsible planning and execution as “perfectionism”. Everyone likes durable, safe and robust products for themselves. Everyone appreciates delightful and frictionless experiences for themselves. But somehow, it’s only a minority that actually cares of pursuing such qualities for others. I’ll repeat what I’ve said in another comment: denouncing “perfectionism” has become shield and shelter for the lazy and mediocre, and poorly worded articles like these just serves to validate and excuse poor craftsmanship. So before trying to weaponize “perfectionism” towards those who actually care about results, people need first to identify their own shortcomings and biases.

To clarify, I’m not talking about declining industries. I am talking about union membership in non-declining industries. When I was young I was a member of Australia’s tertiary education union (the NTEU), and I really got the sense the union was prioritising the interests of senior staff over what was best for me personally. e.g. opposing performance-based pay, even though I personally was likely to get paid more under it
Doesn't work on empty arrays, whereas the K does and gives the reasonable result of 0 (for total water) and -inf for maximum height. Maybe it doesn't matter, but sensible defaults are a good thing!

Edit: didn't look at the error closely enough to see that the only thing that breaks is the maximum height. That's not that bad, but still not ideal imo.
It's not even the specific name, but simply using any name from Tolkien.

Tolkien didn't like the consequences of technological progress. While engineers were not inherently evil in his works, they were at a high risk of becoming evil, or at least instruments of evil. Think of characters like Sauron and Saruman, or Fëanor and Celebrimbor. If you give a Tolkienian name to your tech company, you are implying that you are one of those guys.
No because I don't see the point for me. If it works for you, then great.
In ancient and koinē Greek it meant both voice and sound (including the sound of instruments, which carries in modern instrument names like "saxophone" and so on).

They would say "ὀργάνων φωναί", "φωνὴ βροντῆς", "φωνὴ ὑδάτων" and so on for example.

Its not just Canada. Healthcare in small town USA is godawful. Just had a friend die after months and mobths if doctirs visits where ghey just kicked the can down the road. Then ended up in the hospital. Then multi organ failure. Then, finally, a correct diagnoses. A treatable fungal infection. Died shortly after the diagnosis.

Happens every day.
I didn’t mean “the word language is never used in a scientific text,” I meant there has never been a case in science where science has ever said “this thing $organism is doing is language.” You could get pretty nitpicky with the examples you provided - however I made a new year’s resolution not to fall into these silly little semantics traps on this site that I’m now failing, so I’ll bow out.

We're still a few tech generations away from that being physically possible. The absolute best on the market (clocking in at way pricier and heavier than the AVP) hit about 70 PPD, while a 4K laptop at a reasonable distance is the equivalent of about 110 PPD or so.
I think your mistake is to take “free will” to be something that exists or could exist (ie: in the same realm as physical forces). Which is, of course, just as “outside of physics” as the concept of a spirit or God.

“Free will” is a cultural-linguistic construct. How could it be anything else? The very concepts of discrete individuals, let alone agency, is effectively arbitrary as far as physical forces are concerned.

The “things” that free will concern are already many, many layers of abstractions (and cultural-linguistic construction) away from the individual deterministic interactions of what we currently understand to be physics.

And, like all abstractions, these are leaky and imprecise. So trying to model or analyse their behavior in terms of deterministic physical interactions has always seemed misguided to me.
Two open source programs I work on have had bad patches added by packagers.

This one was special because it lead to a massive security issue, rather than just annoyed users who had bugs only because of packaging patches.

Interesting point I never considered. Is the cut off for UC really just 1 million dollars in net worth? Seems implausible given house prices in places like California. Is essentially every home owner UC?
I care about it in my own writing. I know I overuse certain phrases and it bothers me. For long-form writing I use iA Writer and have it flag words on my denylist whenever they creep into my text. I wish I could use that everywhere.
What do you plan to do with the site going forward? It’s a catchy domain name and the execution is pretty simple and straightforward. Maybe you could add a blog for words and substitutions you’ve used, and have a little callout on those words’ pages saying they were featured on blogpost #n: [post title] or something. If you wanted to make an app you probably could add some kind of social features and allow people to make word pairs and vote on them, make some kind of front page showing popular new pairs and even popular word pairs in different languages for language learners? Just throwing some ideas out there.

This is a nature article, not hard hitting scientific journalism - it is designed for a “lay audience” as you so condescendingly put it.

It’s accepted that there are unique “dialects” and cultural artifacts amongst different pods of orcas, for instance. They’ve been observed engaging in highly clever and coordinated attacks on prey (that can differ drastically depending on culture). It’s not really “running amok” to make a conclusion that they’re probably not coordinating and passing along cultural artifacts/hunting techniques by telepathy, but I do acknowledge that we don’t know everything.
> Lightweight, powerful, and stunning

What about it is stunning to you?

The Steve Jobs-ification of marketing copy has hit epidemic proportions.
My 2 cents which is likely totally wrong:

My theory is contingent on two assumptions (again they could be wrong)

1. Tim Cook is looking for a legacy product. His own chance at “one more thing”

2. Apple is currently often behind the innovator. Its goal is to improve and perfect consumer technology; recently rarely leading the charge themselves

I think we are in an interesting “local minimum” of technology. It’s been a while since we have seen a completely groundbreaking product that changes the landscape of the industry. Every tech company is searching for the next product to help grow revenue. LLMs are the current hotness, but previously it was briefly VR thanks to Meta. Apple probably started the process of making the AVP once Zuck pivoted to making Meta a “VR Company”.

Since this was a flash in the pan interest (for anyone other than VR enthusiasts), and Apple had yet to bring a product to market, they had to pivot from entertainment to “productivity” as the main use-case of the device. That’s where “spacial computing” was born. Since Tim Cook was searching for his legacy product, and because the Apple vision pro is legitimately impressive, they decided to move ahead with releasing it despite there being no market fit.

My guess is we never see another version of the AVP and probably never hear about it again. I’m most likely totally wrong, but I wanted to share my prediction.

I remember using the Cornell PL/C compiler. You could enter something like

PU LIST('Hello, world!

and it would generate a raft of error messages, followed by running the program and displaying Hello, world!

PL/C's heroic error correction dates from when student programs got 2 or 3 runs per day.
> Though I guess maybe the market for junior coders may be OK

From my limited point of view, it seems that there's a real market only for devs with about 4-6 years of experience - i.e. when one's proven themselves sufficiently to be called a "senior" but isn't yet fully jaded.
I felt the same way getting close to 30, that I was getting old and approaching an age where everything in my life was about to crystallize, freeze, and stay that way forever. That the interesting time in my life, where I could make important changes, was about to end. Now I’m 39 and I actually feel younger now, because I’m starting to realize how long life is and how much more I have to go - and I don’t intend to live it all out as a frozen version of myself. I enrolled in a PhD program and it was tough to give up creature comforts but it’s been exciting, like I’ve taken advantage of my agency/autonomy for the first time in my life. I’ve stopped dealing with impossible family members and pressuring myself to do what other people want. I’m enjoying this adventure so much more now, and appreciating little things. What I’m trying to say is, happiness and satisfaction is a matter of perspective and growing older will hopefully give you more perspective. I think my best years are still ahead of me.
My grandparents owned a print shop as their retirement plan, so when I was in my early 20s I got them to do some high quality, faux-canvas prints for about 15 of my favorite at that time (the early 2000’s). If I wanted to do some now I’d have to go suck up to the manager of my local phototek (and given the business my firm gives him I think I may be able to make it work).

We won't be able to confirm this, but dollars to doughnuts, Apple sold at least 2x Facebook Ray-Bans. this is solely vibes-based thinking .
I find the history of furniture really interesting. Not just the changing styles, but also our relationship with it.

As I understand it, it wasn't that long ago that a new homeowner would essentially go out and purchase a full set of furniture for their home and that was that. It was expensive. They kept it throughout their lifetime. It lasted.

Sometimes furniture was inherited. It had real value and was considered an asset.

Then sometime in maybe the last 50 years or so we started buying and manufacturing much cheaper furniture that wasn't expected to last.

I can remember reading maybe 10 years ago that the bottom was falling out of the secondhand furniture market because of a flood of old furniture being sold. Apparently these were often items that had been handed down through generations that young people weren't interested in keeping. Not so much because of the style, but because they simply had nowhere to put it. No permanent home for themselves let alone large pieces of furniture. Quite sad really.

> what is your idea of "art"?

Something designed to elicit an emotional reaction from human beings. It doesn't have to be a pleasant emotional reaction, but there should be one. On that metric the modern art world has with their art, generally speaking, failed. You can't be completely divorced from people and still elicit emotional reactions. Your swings just miss.

Hilariously enough, the art world itself, continues to elicit quite strong emotional reactions, even if the art itself does not. It's possible the entirety of the art scene is actually wildly successful performance art that went entirely over my head.
When I say "political" I'm referring more to belief systems, but calling them religious beliefs would be far too antagonistic for the point I'm trying to make.

Iceweasel is full of examples of parts of Firefox removed because the maintainers had personal disagreements on the values of Firefox. Firefox is a fairly privacy-forward browser and Mozilla stand up for a lot of those ideals, and yet Iceweasel pulls features and telemetry on the basis of them being by-definition bad. I think that's a politics/identity statement more than a UX improvement.

I strongly disagree with packagers putting their opinion on top of the software they are packaging, I think packaging should be as pure a translation as is possible for the target system. Now in the case of Iceweasel it could change the branding which I think would give them more leeway to put opinion into it as it's "not Firefox" and there's little risk of users being confused, but I'd also bet that Debian wouldn't accept another pure Firefox packaging because it would duplicate the package in their minds. If that is the case I think that nullifies the idea.

> The new guidelines, introduced in January, require developers get Apple’s approval before they can add alternative payment options and stipulate that they’ll still have to pay a commission fee of up to 27 percent.

So what’s the point then? You have to go out of your way for absolutely no benefit.

> things that are easy to do in the main implementation might be very difficult to do in yours.

The author mentions this when they talk about the ease of implementing new features in an interpreted language vs. a compiled language.
I expected mine to gather dust. Instead, I am using it all the time to watch shows and movies. Before the AVP, I actually watched very few movies the last several years. But the viewing experience is so amazing with the Vision Pro, I can’t get enough and I’m catching up like crazy.
One of the issues with VR glasses is that at reasonable viewing distances a normal 4k monitor takes up about a quarter of your vision (in each axis, so 1/16th the area), maybe a bit less. That's why 4k glasses can't replicate the feeling of looking at a 4k monitor, you would need 16k screens for each eye to achieve that. And those simply don't exist in that size.

For a lot of use cases you don't need that. Even 720p AR headsets can be useful if they are fast enough, both for gaming and industry applications. But really crisp fonts or high-resolution virtual monitors are simply not possible yet
I've been watching NRK for years, in Japan, with a Chromecast plugged into the TV. No problems watching news. Can't watch BBC nature programs, for pretty obvious reasons, but some other locally produced material can be watched. And that about summarizes my interests.. there's nothing else there I would want to watch anyway. Never tried bankID - that wasn't a thing before, with NRK. First time I heard about this, in fact. In any case I suspect that will not help at all when I use Chromecast.
Only last week there was a HN thread about how the author said they just used chatgpt to make the entire thing and as a result the code is beyond bad. I don't think I'd trust it.

> A PhD is one of those things you don't do for money, but because you find some inherent value in it.

We must not run the same circles. The number of people I know who abandoned a post doc (they were fucking miserable) is probably triple the number of people I know who got a PhD.

If your statement were true I can’t fathom why people would drop out.
My personal hope is someone can figure out how to make reasonable HUD-like smart glasses with the new innovations in transparent OLED technology. It doesn't need a camera or microphone, just provide the missing always-on visual experience (we already have headphones with very good transparency) and integrate with the various other devices we have. The trouble will be the UI, though IMO you don't really need to interact with it directly, let it be an extension of the phone/watch/etc.
These days Apple has a huge software problem when it comes to their new products. No matter how good they make the Vision Pro, there's ultimately very little people can actually do on it. The operating system is more limited than iOS or iPad OS. There are no games. No porn. In fact the most touted feature (using it as an external display for your Macbook) is mostly an afterthought. It doesn't have passthrough audio. You can't control the mouse with it. Can't type text. Can't break out and spatially arrange your laptop's windows. So what's even the point?
Thanks for building this! Making this my default for demos.
Local maxima go BRRRRRRR

AI will get there eventually, but this current paradigm seems increasingly only useful for spam and shitty clip art. Even so, everyone is throwing absurd amounts of investment capital at it in the hopes that something useful will happen. It's a pretty clear depiction of the investor class being so detached from the technical reality of what they're investing in that they just sit around lighting billions on fire thinking that they're getting richer instead of poorer. Go ahead and buy more H100s though...

How do you quantify “lightweight”? This is used in a couple places, but without additional information it’s essentially meaningless.

I’m starting to think that this is a red flag when looking at a project when there’s no further information. It’s marketing-speak masquerading as a technical attribute, but without additional information could just be 100% incorrect. It’s also overly-generic… depending on the intent of the author, lightweight could mean CPU-efficient, small binary, feature-light, and so on, but when not qualified further it seems to be implicitly all of these and more, but most likely that’s not accurate.

My marketing pet-peeve aside, this looks nice and I will be trying it out. :) Congrats on your HN launch!
macOS does have overlay functionality, it’s called presenter mode or something like that. Look for it in the green camera icon that shows up in the menu bar when you’re sharing your screen. It puts your face in a bubble overlayed on top of whatever you’re sharing, as you said. You’re right it doesn’t have upload though.
Apple sold more vision pro(s) then Meta sold of their RayBans your saying?

No official numbers from Facebook rather speculation of up to a million have been sold. Also as the majority of those who review meta's raybans share the same positive thoughts /experience of my own. It's just a ton easier to take pics and videos overall and especially when driving (hey Meta take a pic).
It is the same thing in Australia. If you live in a major city, or not too far away from one (say an hour or two), you'll probably be fine. If you live 8 hours from the nearest major city, greatly increased odds you will die from easily preventable things because nobody gets around to running basic diagnostic tests until way too late – because there aren't enough medical and nursing staff to manage the patient workload, because specialists aren't available and so less obvious things get missed, etc. There is also a huge culture of cover-up (middle and senior managers try to hide mistakes to avoid lawsuits and to try not to embarrass the politicians in charge of the public health system)
There is no need to do weird math, as we know the actual numbers.

SERV is smaller than 6502.
Interesting! Would this support fp8? Does anyone know how it would compare to Triton?
I have to emphatically disagree here.

The result may be reasonable, but this is just a fluke.

Numpy complains that: "ValueError: zero-size array to reduction operation maximum which has no identity".

This error makes sense. The only meaningful result for the maximum of an empty array would be minus infinity. It should not be zero. If it's zero, it means the programming language makes the silent assumption that the elements are non-negative.

I very much prefer to have the code throw back a meaningful error at me than a reasonably looking result, and then fail silently in a different situation.
