I actually just left Betterment because over the last few years their Core portfolio has really lagged performance of my non-Betterment investments (largely VTI, VTSAX, VBTLX in approximately 80/20 stock/bond split). Upon ACATS-ing over to another broker, I found they'd purchased some funds with high fees when there were really similar funds available with far, far lower fees. The only reason I can think of to buy a higher expense fund when a much lower expense variant exists is in the name of tax loss harvesting, but even that is a really short-sighted decision.
> Apple is probably going to have to light a gigantic stack of cash on fire to try to course correct this. Or they’ll cut their losses and write it off entirely

Much cheaper: ship a bug that allows OS jailbreak to run VMs. See what unshackled creators develop. Add official interfaces to support those use cases. Rinse & repeat.
yeah it just redirects to the first note. i thought about having a welcome page but it took away from the apple notes feel. open to suggestions tho!
Kind of the point - the engineers rejected the guy because (in their perception) he wasn't good enough at leetcode or some esoteric language feature or whatever - meanwhile they were blind to the fact that he possessed a skill that was far more valuable to the company, which they themselves had no ability to recognize or evaluate.
I enjoyed demoing my friend's Vision Pro but I regularly found myself displeased with the gesture controls. Once the novelty of interacting with the demo features wore off, I found myself thinking that the device was best suited as a monitor replacement. To that end, I would absolutely need to use a mouse and keyboard.

I also wonder if Apple's decision to eschew any special pointing or peripheral device in favor of hand tracking was the best idea. If I owned one of these things and used it for casual internet browsing, I would much prefer some little handheld accessory so I could press buttons without having to gesticulate and make sure my posture was correct so that the cameras could pick up my hand movements.
This gets at an interesting nuance. The under-reliance on dependencies actually poses issues at a system level, not at an individual product level, which makes it hard to sell business types on the existence of the problem.

Is it really hard to replace engineers when you have a lot of dependencies? A lot of dependencies means a lot of things you have to learn. Let's consider the case where every line of code invokes a different dependency. That's clearly insane and not the ideal case, even if they are all well-known dependencies. Everyone on the team will be constantly chasing down documentation for the dependencies they don't know.

The optimal point is somewhere in the middle. I just am pushing for more dependencies because I see it being too far in the "no dependencies" direction.
This is victim blaming. Ukraine is sovereign nation.
As long as they are topical and not distracting the hero images are just there to let you know you are on the right tab. I'd prefer one included by any means as it can show a bit of extra effort in curating that image.

Sure, but you still need to reach the critical mass of developer support. No one downmarket is any more likely to buy one if there aren’t any apps.

"...analysts have noted that many who bought one were confused by its more complicated setup and what they were supposed to use it for in their daily lives."

There's the root of the problem right there. Apple's best successes had a very clear purpose in mind from the beginning:

- iPod: 1,000 songs in your pocket

- iPhone: A phone, an internet communicator, an iPod

- iPad: Media consumption

AVP didn't have a clear purpose right out the door, and it's very un-Apple to launch a new product category without figuring that out first.
Yes, the ecosystem is full of devs that refuse to adopt the new ways, regardless of how many years Google has been pushing for them.
I'm sure you're already aware of the general consensus around how speculative cryptocurrency and meme stocks are but it's worth repeating that this is a very dubious approach. On GME specifically, this is a good documentary to watch: https://youtu.be/5pYeoZaoWrA?si=OuRp-NxyiYR8XmA0

I think it's worth it for you to consider reducing your allocation to these even if you have strong conviction in their long term success. If you do 25% GME/crypto and 75% index funds (or target retirement) then you're still going to be doing extremely well if these assets take off as hoped for but you'll be much better off in the alternative and less surprising scenario where they don't

It was extremely pricey and saturated the market, and from what I read most of the market was underwhelmed by its capabilities. I'm still waiting on my virtual workstation where I can have infinite virtual monitor space, instead we keep getting various whiz-bang gimmicks that are good for a demo but have no real use.
this is probably happening if you're viewing a note that has been deleted. since i had 10000+ notes created on the day it launched i set up a pg_cron batch to delete empty notes that are >30 min old.

if not, can you share the url you're seeing it on? thanks for letting me know!

perhaps it's because they receive kickbacks from that specific fund.

> If it's not properly handled, it's also likely not properly logged

Then you're blue moon probability if it being useful rapidly drops. Verbose logs are simply a pain in the arse, unless you have a massive processing system. but even then it just either kneecaps your observation window, or makes your queries take ages.

I am lucky enough to work at a place that has really ace logging capability, but, and I cannot stress this enough, it is colossally expensive. literal billions.

but, logging is not an audit trail. Even here where we have fancy PII shields and stuff, logging doesn't have the SLA to record anything critical. If there is a capacity crunch, logging resolution gets turned down. Plus logging anything of value to the system gets you a significant bollocking.

If you need something that you can hand to a government investigator, if you're pulling logs, you're already in deep shit. An audit framework needs to have a super high SLA, incredible durability and strong authentication for both people and services. All three of those things are generally foreign to logging systems.

Logging is useful, you should log things, but, you should not use it as a way to generate metrics. verbose logs are just a really efficient way to burn through your infrastructure budget.
I’ve said it before on this forum: Tim Cook needs to go for this.
I remember having conversations here on HN about how the launch of this device would change everything in the field, because only Apple knows the magic sauce, and they always win, or something along those lines.

Well, I think they confused Apple with Steve Jobs, yes Jobs had almost a Midas touch regarding product design, especially when given the time to reflect on competition mistakes, and people forget that he also "missed the mark" a few times.

Tim Cook is a different character, his special ability is his uncanny focus on squeezing the supply chain and keeping the money printer churning.

This is not the Jesus goggle the fanboys were looking for, even if the tech seems impressive, I think they should not have launched it.
Interesting, first time I've heard of an actual mechanism how vaping could be harmful. Still probably better than smoking, but the harmless image probably increases the misuse potential.

GenAI Tools in Genetics?
GenAI, like most technological changes, comes with a mixture of hype and genuine improvements in productivity. I'm curious what tools people have been using in their day-to-day that have benefitted them. I'm happy to hear about use cases of generalist tools like Perplexity (https://www.perplexity.ai/), but am more interested in genetics specific tools, like VarChat (https://varchat.engenome.com/).

I don't think the price is the problem. People spend a lot on hobbies (it amazes me how many people ride 5000-10000€ road bikes). It's obviously too expensive that everyone buys one, but there are still lots of people who could afford it.

The bigger problem is that I just see absolutely no reason to buy it.
It is, in my opinion, the natural outcome of striving for equality over liberty, which is top of mind in Seattle’s political climate.

Innovator’s dilemma for US. Although they are a producer, the oil industry lobbies hard, they fund elections. They are deep.

US is too addicted to cheap oil, that we hamper ourselves away from cheap solar/wind energy.

Arizona, Florida, California … southern states of US ought to be having the cheapest electricity but we have one of the most expensive.

China spends a fortune importing oil and coal. If they can get cheap energy, which they likely will, they leap frog ahead.

China is playing the long game, while the boomer governed US is only thinking for their lifetimes.
I wonder whether the behavior Apple has exhibited around their developer relations (especially their EU / notorization related troubles) has had a chilling effect on people's willingness to support a new platform like this. Without the raw number of users that something like the iPhone has, does Apple make it worthwhile to create apps / games for their platforms? I'm not a developer, so maybe there is a more technical reason for this, but from the outside it seems as though both indie developers and large tech companies (like Google not making a YouTube app, and Netflix) are reluctant to support VisionOS.

Or, maybe it isn't Apple-specific; maybe there simply isn't enough users, or VR/AR as a software paradigm is currently too far removed from how companies design their applications, and it is just a matter of time until they adapt. Like I said, I am not a developer, so maybe I'm missing something obvious here.
Someone should make an app that flashes “I AM RICH” on the front screen and plays a klaxxon as you walk around Dubai with your Vision Pro.
I think that even software development in general is pretty niche; about 29 million of us worldwide, putting us significantly behind sex workers (40 million or so), which I get the impression most regard as (at the very least) an unusual profession?

I want to say it's also way behind the number of YouTube channels, but I can't find a citation for the 3rd party claim of "114 million" active channels, though obviously most are not professionals and there's not a 1-1 requirement between channels and people.
If the market crashes. My expectation is for the S&P to keep going up to the moon. Maybe with a brief crash at some time, but it's got an entire Congress worth of corruption behind it now. Never bet opposite of people with the power to influence the outcome.

Look what happened with COVID: it crashed, but then politicians immediately and for a long time printed a shitload of money to make it stop crashing. This is the new normal.

Market indices are already at all-time highs, and the Federal Reserve is indicating it may cut rates due to inflation being measured as negative (no matter how it feels in reality for you and I) and the USA is about to have the most pro-pump-and-dump run-the-country-like-a-business president ever (for the second time and not being willing to ) who I completely expect will find even more and better ways to take money from the poor and give it to corporate investors.

Therefore, as much money as I feel willing to risk on this is in broad market index call options. I'm not trying to convince you to buy the same, just stating my opinion.

Thank you so much. This is beautiful example.
I returned mine. It was amazing, but very uncomfortable like all other VR head units. I spent an entire workday in it. The next day got half way through the day before getting a massive headache. My neck was sore for a week following. Apple store employees said I wasn't the only one.

They need to focus on weight, them making it have the glass front+screen and being made of metal was a terrible idea.
Check out the used markets in your area (Craigslist, FB marketplace, eBay, etc) People are selling used Vision Pro's for a steep discount. In my area (NYC Metro) the lowest I've seen was $1,500 and that was a couple of months ago. When they cross below $1,000 I think I might get one.

It's an expensive gadget for a niche [0] market. $3500 is an incredibly high price for what it is.

0, https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/ 1.75% of Steam users have a VR headset as of June this year which is lower than the people who are using Linux for gaming (2.08%). So you can see how small the VR market is. And the top alternatives are $500 (Quest 3) and $1000 (Valve Index) which are expensive on their own but $3500 (that you can't even use on Steam gaming lol) is just an astronomical difference

Hi, do you have an example of your latex source or template?

Here’s a sparse copy of mine.

https://michaelwilly.com/cv/latex

I don’t want to share the git because my real resume has more details.

I learned tex during a degree, I can use it mainly for math notation but I’m not sure that I know it in and out for typesetting.

My resume now uses a template.tex and a main.tex file and I \\input sub section tex files so I can iterate using git.

> I learned how to do them in college ...

I have the opposite experience: when learning physics, math was really difficult to negotiate with the professor, because it is mathematically correct or not. They had their table that said "if they have done this, X points, otherwise 0", which is an exactly equivalent system as the one where your grade corresponds to the number of test your software passes. It was easier to negotiate points in the computer science lectures, where I could argue that having used some concepts shown in the lecture (using object-oriented, recursive functions, ...) was worth some point even if I did not finish my algorithm.

I think your experience (and mine) is just because you have been exposed to "beginner tests / optional course" in one field and "higher grade / main course" in the other. Beginner or optional lectures tend to give more leeway.

> Professional mathematicians also cut either other some slack. Most proofs published today have small errors ...

That's just not true: if there is an error, the result is not reliable, and it is therefore extremely important to identify them. It does not mean that the person who made the mistake will be thrown out of the field (of course not, every mathematician has made mistake some time, it's part of the job). And by the way, I wonder how you are in position to know that. You are claiming that "those bugs are never fixed". I've observed math-oriented conferences where some of the talks were all about discussing these bugs. I'm sure if you even have an example of such not-fixed-error, you have absolutely no idea how it was treated later by the scientific community. It's as stupid as saying "firefox 6 has a bug, it never has been fixed (but of course I did not look if they released new version)".

But the problem with this argument is that you are comparing that to a field _that is build around the fact that bugs will always exist_. You have debugger, code review, testing environment, and despite that, every released software always end up have some bug fix updates.

You are arguing that it's different for mathematicians because their publications contain errors (which is at best a very misleading description of the reality), while at the same time, DEVELOPERS RELEASED SOFTWARE WITH BUGS ALL THE TIME, in a way bigger rate and with sometimes way less following (some bugs are even some times considered "will not fix")
