Putting aside the enormous hardware difference between the two, even if they were "the same shiz" spec-wise, Id still not comment on Vision Pro over Quest - the reason being I have Macook Air. Spec-wise, that laptop is almost identical to any other laptop, but the level of refinement is on another planet. Its tousands little things that make using Air a joy, while dealing with my work HP Zbook is a pain in every way.

For that same reason, I dont dare to compare Vision to any other VR (and I tried a few, not Vision Pro tho).

The problem isn’t that the type inference can’t figure out that it’s a number (it can). Subtyping makes inference difficult. There may be a function somewhere which takes arguments that could be made to accept a string and an int32 (or whatever other number type that literal could be).

Mild spoilers for The Expanse:
It does have FTL travel, but it is presented as alien and has a limited impact on the day-to-day lives of characters. I get the feeling this was done for narrative reasons primarily, but it helps with "sci-fi hardness".

Generally I think the impact of instant communication and near-instant travel (or lack thereof) is not talked about enough. Most sci-fi stories derive from the present day, and keep this aspect of today (as do many fantasy stories, interestingly), but it's a narrative choice with large impacts.

You'll need to check for compatibility, but ChromeOS Flex should work on many laptops that would otherwise come with Windows. It runs terribly inside a VM, though, so it's hard to try out before installing, but if you have a leftover SSD laying around you could try swapping the storage and installing it on whatever laptop you use now.
It cuts both ways. Desktop linux NIHed a bunch of basic features in some buggy, insecure C code that barely works. Like, it has absolutely zero security, no accessibility, no fine-grained permissions system, no normal cross-application communication, no userspace resource control (cgroups are cool, but they are not exposed)..
At least in my personal experience of doing this, you're often many years of living on savings and are in a bunch of debt and being able to get some cash from a funding event really helps with relieving the stress of barely making ends meet. Investors expect you to stay hungry for as long as possible, so even your salary is complete garbage, and the funding secondary is an absolute life saver that lets you sleep a little bit better at night after many years of dipping into the piggy bank.
I am a teacher; this is what concerns me.

AI writing is garbage; if you're a good writer you can shepherd it to having good results.

But my 6th grade students cannot tell the difference between garbage AI writing and good writing; it's very difficult to articulate to them why they need to struggle at communicating now in hopes of getting better, when it looks to them like perfection is already effortless.

Realistically, running apps inside of a language runtime (VM) is bad enough for an embedded device (the HP Dynamo-like gymnastics to speed up ART, notwithstanding)... and here we were wishing each app ran in its own guest OS?

What kind of problems did you encounter?

That particular website (arduino-cli) works offline pretty well, including search - with a caviat that it needs a local webserver. I've used "python3 -mhttp.server" one, which is installed by default on most Linux machines (and I think on all macs too? not 100% sure)

Or you can click on "index.html" directly - then the site is _mostly_ usable (text and pictures are there), but you have to manually choose "index.html" for each page, and search does not work. Pretty annoying, yeah, but can still save you if you are without internet and need to consult docs.

(Note there is no top-level index in this archive, this is by their design - https://arduino.github.io/ shows 404 as well. You need to choose one of the versions and click index.html there)

I agree that it would be nicer if more sites worked better without webserver (didn't rely on explicit index.html, all paths relative) but even as things are now, they are not that bad. Websites disappear all the time, and I think it's very nice that you can download many of them in one click.
I went to college starting 2007 (right when CUDA was released) and recall a few things about python that made it attractive in both the comp sci and math departments at my school.

- python integrated well with lesson plans instructors had
- python integrated well with the software math departments were using (like MATLAB)
- python had a very easy to use interpreter environment that worked well on linux, mac, and windows
- python had (for the era) a massive standard library, making it way easier to consume and process
common data file formats like XML or CSV without having to install any extensions
(installing extensions usually required admin permissions and... very few at school had those for very good reasons)
- exposing c/fortran libraries into python was pretty straightforward to do and was relatively stable compared to alternatives.

Around 2007, the main competitors in the scripting space had a lot of issues:

- tcl - somewhat popular for embedding but didn't really have a standalone interpreter that made it easy to interact
with and the syntax didn't really look like C, and really not much of a library to work with

- lua - similar to tcl, popular for embedding but didn't have a popular standalone runtime and interpreter.
syntax was closer to C though. didn't have much of a library to work with

- ruby - had a runtime for experimenting but a less stable API for integrating, plus the language was pretty
different from C. the library was large but had a larger reliance on installing extensions than python at the time.

- perl - both unstable and had a horrible reputation by this point as a standalone language that outside of some obtuse
systems scripting, most people didn't want to touch this with a 12-foot pole. standard library was small and relied a lot on extensions.

- php - similarly unstable (at the time... i think 5.3 had just come out) and had a horrible reputation... also not even
sure it had a runtime that worked outside of an apache/nginx context... exposing a c library to PHP at this time was pretty
straightforward though. relied very heavily on extensions at this point.

- javascript - node.js hadn't come out at this point... so the idea of running javascript outside of a browser window wasn't really a thing yet.

If one were looking to expose CUDA to programmers who didn't want to work in C during this era, I'd argue that python was just the best option at the time.

I believe that led to a first-mover advantage that has held over time.

Or AMD calling monitors which meet quality and feature requirements 'FreeSync'

Or Intel calling USB4 devices and cables which meet quality and feature requirements 'Thunderbolt 5'

Compared to, say, manufacturers who aren't willing to meet any certification requirements or to properly implement the standards at play saying they have "USB-A 3.2 2x2 ports" on their motherboards.

Retina doesn't carry the same weight as an industry certification effort like thunderbolt, but it still informs people that a screen actually meets some sort of bar without them having to evaluate pages of tech specs, and reviews saying whether the tech specs are accurate or have undocumented caveats.

Finally, establishing such certifications are difficult - look at the number of failed attempts at creating industry quality/feature marks in the television market.

Yeah, my guess is that quick turnaround is a function of mainly two variables: a good protection of the ship during re-entry and very reliable engines that require little to none manual checking and can withstand lower thousands of cycles before needing refurbishment.

Of those two, I am fairly sure that SpaceX can produce great engines. The Raptors are not quite there yet, but their 4th or 5th iteration will likely be extremely good.

Not so sure about the heat shields. Much less aggregated corporate experience there.
Step 1 is a bit of a "draw the rest of the owl" step in that it's either done for you on your specific platform with default settings already or you have to go do all of the actually hard stuff of building the app (and sure enough that's where the typical cmake build step is hidden as well). Step 2 is just "and remember to link your code against the hard part when you compile it, by the way here's a single minimal example".
Yeah I totally agree, it’s a bad design choice and the successors to C should not have copied it.
Android has had multi-threading for as long as I can remember. In fact, Binder RPC, that runs in every app process, itself is multi-threaded.

What's special in Android is multi-process. All (Kotlin/Java) apps fork from the same base runtime image, regions of which are CoW'd when mutated.
It was utterly useless though. It significantly predates all the valuable features that came to chromeOS later, like running any android app. I bought one used and it was impossible to troubleshoot any of it's problems because "just a normal linux distro" has always been a lie. Linux is as much the stuff built on top of the Kernel as it is just the kernel. All that stuff was basically impenetrable unless you were a Google ChromeOS dev. By the time ChromeOS was actually useful, that machine could barely run a single YouTube tab.

Screen was super nice though. It was never worth $1000
>just not worth sacrificing life time over.

Yep, ready to alienate 30-50% of your friends, even though you were 'right'.

If I had to choose, I would much rather do HTML+JS apps than Android+Java/Kotlin. I know there are a million good reasons why someone could say Android is a better platform than the web, but after working as a Java/Android developer for 5 years, I still don't believe that. I'm a little saddened to hear this, but I imagine there is more to the story. And, I was thrilled when Android apps could run on Chromebooks.
Linux community really dropped the ball by not creating a distro that was basically chromeOS, but without the propriety limitations.

Thousands of distros and not the one that would take off. Sad!

Isn't that what AlphaZero was known for? After all, the 'zero' part of the name was a play on 'zero-shot learning' which is the concept you're talking about. So we have a proof of existence already, and there's been recent papers showing progress in some mathematical domains (though simplified ones so far, such as Euclidean geometry - which does however feature complex proofs).
So this looks like a reasonable-on-paper critique of AI models that ended up costing dearly.

One side question I haven't seen much (intelligent) discussion of: to what extent is the intensity of AI critiques disingenuous in origin?

Unfortunately, disingenuity discussions become instantly meaningless when they devolve into politics. Better to just assume that all politicians are disingenuous in everything and move on.

I would say there's a category of unpardonable voices, such as competition-suppressing established companies (and wishful ones like musk.ai) and dick-tators targeting AI as a proxy for Western economies. However, I'd pardon anxious content creators, the same way I'd pardon Lyft drivers critiquing self-driving cars (and cab drivers critiquing Lyft 10 years ago.)

The Goldilocks region is elusive. For example, it's unclear if SD3's failures are actually due to NSFW filtering. I suppose the disingenuity test could be based on the speaker's technical credentials, but that would probably dismiss too much speech.
Wow this manages to get History and Pedagogy incredibly wrong
They were incorporated but there seemed to be a clear separation between Gaia (the planet where everyone had telepathy and they basically stored data inside of the rocks/earth’s core) and the robots. Maybe that was a misunderstanding on my part, and Gaia was a world of robots. Which would also imply that the Mule was a robot. That being said it would also imply many of the members of the second foundation were also robots. I don’t know if this is the right interpretation.
For me it’s soft sci-fi because the show was about the people. Space was just the backdrop.

Whereas something like Foundation is about the exploring the concept of psycho-history and galactic civilisations and the people are there to move that story forward.
