I have this one (basic kit): https://www.etsy.com/listing/1677292928/comfort-system-for-t... its really great, its like wearing thick rimmed glasses instead of a scuba mask. You take the light seal off, and the vision pro floats over your face (held in place by the head band), no contact with cheeks etc.

I also have this one, https://infinityone3d.com/en/collections/apple which I didnt like as much, but people on /r/visionpro rate it equally with the one above, so its largely a personal thing do with the fit accounting for the dimensions of your head.

Either way, both are a massive step up from the stock experience IMO.
It's even more of a waste of time than you imagine. This isn't a regulatory action. It's political grandstanding. This report is a partisan opportunity to cast blame on their opponents, which they can use for campaigning.

No enforcement will come of it, and it will be forgotten in November.
k-pound? Is that a thing? 458 tons, for someone's definition of a ton. It's important when using imperial lbs to use tons, otherwise we 'muricans can't easily convert it into medium duty trucks in our heads to visualize the mass. ~91 in this case.
Poor (intentionally misleading?) title and a very flawed methodology in the study.

Sperm counts didn't decline, but the study found that the number of health sperm declined significantly.

The study was also limited only to prospective sperm donors in Denmark.
My point is that the situation will vary.

Yes, if $500k doesn't move the needle on your life then the question is moot anyways. Most first-time founders will be closer to the poor end of the spectrum than the wealthy side.

There are people reading this for which $20k will change their life (which in my example was the 'shouldn't matter' amount instead of the $500k).

My best guess is they're lying, or they model curbs to have a "low damage score" so its okay if the ai thinks theres a 10% chance a path will hit a curb.

I'm excited for self driving cars, but I have reservations about a system that has to hard code "don't hit a telephone pole". It reminds me of this skit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm_JqM
It sounds weird to say, but updates being applied only in-garage doesn't mean they're not going over the air. However, updates can include software for between dozens and hundreds of individual processors. That makes them quite large. The real data pigs are driving logs and map data though, which are usually serious storage constraints in autonomous vehicles.

Last week's discussion about the NYPost article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40582566

And the original NYT article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40553438
Shopping for household goods on Amazon is a minefield to begin with. Prices vary wildly from day to day, even on identical (same ASIN) products. And descriptions tend to be vague (is it Mediterranean oregano, or is it Mexican oregano? They're not the same plant, but it doesn't fucking say!). Per-unit pricing is often broken (is it 24 units of single cans, or is it 4 units of 6 cans each?).

Even when sitting in front of a real computer, it often takes fair amount of effort to find a product that represents the kind of value at the moment that I'm interested in.

Comparative shopping with this mess on the back end doesn't work with the current state of Alexa. There's details that are important to me, as a consumer, that can't be boiled down to a price and an 8-word summary.

If the back-end data weren't broken, buying with Alexa could be made to work if it could get a grasp (using ML or some other buzzword) of how a buyer's proclivities tended to be shaped. For instance, some people want the best per-volume price, and some others want the highest quality at any expense, with a huge range in between. I myself don't have a ton of room for bulk buying, so I often aim for a medium volume of moderate-high quality, tempered by a price that is low today.

But, again: The back-end data is broken, and Alexa is too stupid to make what I think are good decisions. When I can't trust the talking computer on my countertop to make good decisions for me, and if my hands are already full, I don't have time to have a drawn-out conversation with a bot, so I won't ever actually buy stuff that way.

It's not functionally better than Amazon's abortive Dash Buttons[0] from 8-ish years ago, which were also untrustworthy for many of the same (or related) reasons.

---

But if I'm cooking in the kitchen and I notice that I'm low on oregano, I do have time to say "Alexa, add oregano to my cart." And I'll also invariably make time to interrupt its misguided response with a quick "Alexa, shut the fuck up" once it starts prattling on about the useless summary from the bad back-end data (GIGO), so I can get back to doing what I'm doing.

This is important to mention because if I weren't already busy with my hands, I wouldn't bother with using Alexa at all for this task.

Eventually, I'll find myself in front of a real computer again and I'll go through and true up the things I've used Alexa to put in my cart, so they match my actual expectations, and actually buy some things. And while this is useful to me, it's obviously pretty far removed from the target goal of the system.

And it can't ever get better until they fix their data.

I think this is the correct way to handle this. I don’t know how many times I’ve been stymied by integer arithmetic and precision loss by implicit conversion. How should this be handled? Should the int be converted to a double before the operation, should the double be converted to int before the operation, or should the result be converted to an int or a double? As someone who writes code in many languages in a day, these implicit conversion rules can be difficult to remember. It’s best to enforce the developer to be explicit about the intention.
And at a large corp you can get laid off just as easily. Any business can toss you out at a moments notice. It's not unique to startups.

At least with a startup you are going into it knowing that you have a higher probability of thing going south financially. With a big company, you might not get any warning at all.
I would say the Stoke Space rocket is in some sense more novel than Starship, apart from its size. We have never seen anything like the Stoke upper stage before. Which might be a financial problem, as developing such an ambitious design is likely expensive, and as a startup their funds are limited. A partly reusable design like Neutron (Rocket Lab) or Terran R (Relativity Space) is more conventional and probably cheaper to develop.
Right - for most companies, they are one org. The complexity of "product CRMs" as opposed to "roll your own CRM" seems to come from trying to satisfy mulitple orgs. A CRM that can satisfy two orgs seems about 10x more complex than a CRM that can satisfy one.

LLMs might tip the calculation of buy v build enough that "roll your own" becomes the standard for most business apps.

That article links it back Joseph Rhine, and then to Arthur Conan Doyle and spiritualism. Ultimately maybe the blame lies with Emanuel Swedenborg for inspiring every kind of woo-woo.
As an aside, and as someone who doesn't own a vision pro (non US pleb): While it is interesting to me if people find utility. I can't help but feel that the narrative on places outside of HN is a strong "no".

But, that is to be expected, the form factor isn't convenient yet. When mobile phones weighed 2KG few people used them on a daily. When it's miniaturized into the form factor of glasses, we'll all be daily users. That seems to me more like a question of when, not if.
The robocar "trolley problem" appears to be real.
I agree that implicitly promoting integers to floats (or implicitly changing any type) is a bad idea, but I don't think the C++ is uniquely bad in this regard. Java[1] and C#[2] both do this too.

Is this satire?

In case not: The source didn't report it happening. Therefore no one needs to invent it, not even as a pretext for an invasive investigation.
I wouldn't describe Swift itself as having so much potential: I loved it and advocated for it, for years. After getting more experience on other platforms and having time to watch how it evolved, or didn't as per TFA, it's...okay to mediocre compared to peers - Kotlin, Dart, Python come to mind.

If Foundation was genuinely cross platform and open source, that description becomes more plausible for at least some subset of engineers. * (for non-Apple devs, Foundation ~= Apple's stdlib, things like dateformatting)

I don't mean to be argumentative, I'm genuinely curious what it looks like through someone else's eyes and the only way to start that conversation is taking an opposing position.

I am familiar with an argument it's better than Rust, but I'd very curious to understand if "better than" is "easier to pick up" or "better at the things people use Rust for": i.e. I bet it is easier to read & write, but AFAIK it's missing a whole lot of what I'll call "necessary footguns for performance" that Rust offers.

* IIRC there is a open source Foundation intended for Linux? but sort of just thrown at the community to build.
It no longer works when some definition or other theorem changes slightly. Most of these proof assistants provide ways to write proofs that can slightly adjust and "plug together" the other theorems in the "obvious" way.
It's really hard for me to read past Lattner's quote. "Beautiful minimal syntax" vs "really bad compile times" and "awful error messages".

I know it's not helpful to judge in hindsight, lots of smart people, etc.

But why on earth would you make this decision for a language aimed at app developers? How is this not a design failure?

If I read this article correctly, it would have been an unacceptable decision to make users write setThreatLevel(ThreatLevel.midnight) in order to have great compile times and error messages.

Can someone shed some light on this to make it appear less stupid? Because I'm sure there must be something less stupid going on.
I'll argue that business is a lot faster paced in the "age of enshitification" than it was in the past so that today a company can decline as much in 4 years as would have previously taken 40.

4 years ago I bought something from AMZN roughly weekly, today I buy something from them every few months. They'll put up a banner that says "You paid $30 for shipping in the last year" and I'm like, yeah, you want a lot more than that for Prime. They've got the data to show that, at best, I watched about $30 worth of Blu-Ray discs worth of content on Prime Video per year. Add it up and Prime makes no sense for me.

The fact that they have a highly profitable AWS business makes it worse instead of better since they can maintain the perception of normality, even growth, and not have to pay attention to the rest of their business.
Financial advisors will advise you against the risk of having all your wealth in the company you work for for just the reason you describe. If you have a net worth of $10m and it is all in the company you work for you could in one moment loose your job and be broke. So you should diversify.

However, employees often have virtually no net worth (why else are they worried about paying taxes on share, except they can't take the risk of loss? I can say from experience that when I worked for a startup but had previous personal financial success I just absorbed the tax bill for exercising options knowing that the shares I paid taxes on could ultimately be worthless.).

So if all their net worth is in a company its not ideal but it is a risk you can take when you are young. I see the argument of avoiding taxes and not taking ownership until the shares are liquid-- good arguments, it is true-- as being used as ways to justify giving employees shares or options that are likely to be less valuable then the ones held by founders and investors.
ST:TOS and ST:TNG era seemed to deal with some hard sci-fi ideas. Nothing I've watched in the last 20 years seemed hard sci-fi. Most of them seem to be "how can we work some action sequence into this story". Admittedly I haven't watched them all and I'm sure there are moments of hard sci-fi but my impression is it's devolved into space opera.
It be interesting to know what type of infrastructure is behind this, who‘s satellites does Apple use? I’m guessing they must partner with a service? Are satellite ISP‘s a thing (I have no clue)? I mean supporting the amount of iPhones in the US and considering camping is sort of booming, I feel like Apple will create quite a load on „satellite internet“.
Working from home has become a class marker.

Tech workers who work from home are seen as having more freedom and higher salaries than those that "have to be" in the office.

Additionally I'm watching a Netflix reality show "Married at First Sight" (kinda lame tbh) where often times this comes up as a matter of an individual being at a state of their career where they're more advanced: "I need someone who works from home because I do and I like to travel a lot", "It's important for me to be with someone who is in a place career wise where they can set their own schedule" or just "You work from home? Nice! Me too!"

Or it goes the other way: "You don't work remote? So you have to go in to the office?" with the undertone being one of disappointment, as if the person has less free agency and is in a worse place career wise than someone who doesn't have to go to the office.
I thought BLM was more of an urban thing..
Apparently the answer is No, unless I missed something.
Actually the mind control aspect of the Foundation series was my least favorite part. I know it was a big part of the storyline but I would’ve preferred a heavier emphasis on “psychohistory” and chaos theory. The telepathic element, especially in books 4 and 5 was left unexplained. The only thing that would make sense to me is if anyone with mind control powers was actually a robot.
After reading her book on Nuclear War, I read Annie Jacobsen's Phenomena: The Secret History of the U.S. Government's Investigations into Extrasensory Perception and Psychokinesis. I recommend it.

I'm not sure what was going on with Pat Price, but those are some damn weird stories. The incident with the Church specifically was particularly interesting.

> In a separate outbounder-beacon experiment with Price, a more dramatic physiological event occurred. Green was in the car with an experimenter from SRI. They had opened their sealed envelope and were headed to the target when, “ten minutes into our drive, I said stop the car,” Green recalls. After his earlier experience with Uri Geller remotely viewing a page from one of the medical books in his CIA office, Green intended to devise a fail-safe remote-viewing test. This was it. The experimenter driving the car insisted that he wasn’t allowed to deviate from protocol. Green told him, “I’m the contract monitor, and I say stop the car.” So the experimenter stopped. “But I’m supposed to drive to the target,” he said.

> Green instructed the driver to back up. “I said, I want you to go to that church back there,” pointing to a small Episcopal church beside the road. The driver did as Green asked and pulled into the church parking lot. Green checked his watch and waited until the prearranged time. Then he got out of the car. “I crunched across the gravel and into an arbor,” Green recalls. “I caught my foot on something and nearly tripped. I walked down to the sacristy,” the room where the vestments were kept. “I opened a window. I turned around, walked into the nave, walked down the right-hand aisle. Stopped and stared at a beautiful rose window over the altar.” In this moment in the church, he says, he was reminded of his time in seminary school and the strange notion of how different his life might have been had he become a clergyman instead of joining the CIA. Green felt a wave of emotion and decided to pray. “I knelt down, said a prayer. There was this beautiful baptismal font in front of me. I leaned over and looked into it. Then I was done. I crunched across the gravel, went back to the car.” The two experimenters headed back to SRI.

> “Back at the lab, we went into the Faraday cage where the remote viewer [Price] had been [the entire time]. He was having a cardiac event,” Green recalls. “At minimum he was having an angina attack, and possibly he was having an MI [myocardial infarction],” more commonly known as a heart attack. After Price’s heart rate returned to normal, he turned to Green and said that that was the worst experiment he had ever done. Green recalls Price telling him, “It just made me so sick. You walked down an arbor. You almost tripped. You went into the most terrible building I’ve ever seen in my life. I saw you walk down an aisle and crumple to your knees. I began to worry about you. I saw you lean over and vomit into an octagonal basin. I began to feel nauseated. I got chest pains.”

> Also, I think a lot of sci-fi shows had direct ESP references before mid-90s, then the trope suddenly died out.

Everything parapsychology dies out very suddenly in the mid 1980s. Ghostbusters debuted June 8th, 1984, and within 18 months most universities had already gotten rid of the department. Intelligence agency experiments in remote viewing and such all just fade away nearly as quickly. Police departments using psychics for leads has a sharp downward trend from that date onward. About the only thing left was late-night 900 number commercials for Miss Cleo, that last until the mid-1990s.

Comedy is a powerful sociological weapon, able to obliterate entire memetic ecosystems.
The problem is the jobs you imagine people moving to won't materialize because AI will do those too. In the past, efficiency increases lead to the realization of new modes of transactions becoming economically viable. The people made obsolete moved to entirely new jobs because the tech was narrowly applicable. AGI is fully general, there is no space of jobs that humans could do but AGI cannot do. This is the end game for human labor. Society is not ready, and probably never will be.
Even at that resolution (about 0.35 MP per eye for just the fovea before any processing) napkin math suggests 7.3T per day. Over 5 years you get about 13PB if my math is right, assuming 16 waking hours per day.
I don’t think the visibility map suffers from bloat. It’s a bitmap with 1 bit per page.

You might have more pages due to the extra size of each tuple, but it’s not likely to be a big difference.
Or a more specific subset: The boss's boss: "Can't we just do that with AI? But don't let anyone know that is our intention."
Interesting analysis, makes sense. I wonder how we should account for the “pre-built” knowledge that is transferred to a newborn genetically and from the environment at conception and during gestation. Of course things like epi-genetics also come into play.

The analogies get a little blurry here, but perhaps we can draw a distinction between information that an infant gets from their higher-level senses (e.g. sight, smell, touch, etc) versus any lower-level biological processes (genetics, epi-genetics, developmental processes, and so on).

The main point is that there is a fundamental difference: LLMs have very little prior knowledge [1] while humans contain an immense amount of information even before they begin learning through the senses.

We need to look at the billions of years of biological evolution, millions of years of cultural evolution, and the immense amounts of environmental factors, all which shape us before birth and before any “learning” occurs.

[1] The model architecture probably counts as hard-coded prior knowledge contained before the model begins training, but it is a ridiculously small amount of information compared to the complexity of living organisms.

Some quick checking:

Average (well, median) US house size: 2000 ft^2

Average UK house size: 68 m^2 = 740 ft^2

That makes for a very, very different HVAC bill.

Dropping the phone in water is a possibility, the battery becoming useless is a certainty. Repairability is important.

The Samsung S5 had a removable back with a silicone seal, this was one of the first widely available water resistant phones. I'm sure they could come up with an even better version now if they wanted to. Glueing it shut is not a requirement for water resistance.

Drop this plastic phone onto concrete, drop a glass iPhone onto concrete. Phone cases should not need to exist, nor be as ubiquitous as they are - they are band-aids on bad durability.

You could probably bend this thing easier than an iPhone, I don't know how much of a metal frame is in this one, but they could add one make it as sturdy. Screws do not preclude this.

It's not all about durability. Screws have a minimal impact on durability compared to materials. It's about a sleek design for sales, with the added benefit of planned obsolescence.

Sorry, I don't buy your argument at all.
Here in East Lansing the college kids are fond of tossing the scooters in the local Red Cedar River for some unfathomable reason. Using them to build things makes infinitely more sense.

It is a cool hack the guys at the local makerspace would love. More importantly he reveals he learned welding and how to use a lathe from YouTube. When I was growing up acquiring these skills was decidedly harder unless you had a mentor.

Do apologize for all the swearing for those sensitive to it. This kid is at the age where he views it as cool. Hopefully he will pass through it cause he has some pretty good videography skills as well.
