There's a way to build a 3-D adapter setup (with mirrors) for an SLR-style camera that actually splits the image across horizontally, so you get two wide images instead of two narrow ones. Not sure if that's useful for a stereoscope, however. For video or projection, it would be superior.

3-D pictures are very entertaining and atmospheric. I have a Kodak stereo camera that I've taken on trips to various countries since high school, and a 3-D projector and silver screen. With polarized glasses, you can walk right up to the screen and still see the depth.

After seeing it, people almost always asked where they could get this or why it isn't used more.

The movie studios deserve scorn for ruining the marketability of 3-D yet again by releasing one fake "3-D" movie after another, as we finally had really good and widespread 3-D projection available.
Some people are wary of enabling ceos of disruptive technologies become the richest people in the world, take control of key internet assets and -- in random bursts of thin-skinned megalomania -- tilt the scales towards politicians or political groups who take action that negatively affect their own quality of life.

Especially when everyone’s tv now does all this pretty much? I cannot imagine successfully getting my gf to switch to this from the Roku integrated in her tv.
You could start by looking at stock price. TSLA is flat since 2020, and their only release in a long time is the Cybertruck which is frankly terrible. They've also lost a huge amount of marketshare. Oh, and Musk's outspoken political opinions are toxic to most EV buyers and have massively turned off a large part of the fanbase that originally propelled him to success.

Twitter is a complete dumpster fire (revenue down 80% since he acquired it, and is now making only around 10% of the money required to even service the debt from acquisition). Basically every company he's involved with is doing terribly, except for SpaceX, which fortunately has Gwynne Shotwell at the helm. But even SpaceX isn't doing so well with their latest rocket, Starship; the upper stage is simply way too big and heavy for most uses, and will require up to 15 (!!) additional refueling in-orbit refueling launches to fully refuel a single Starship for missions beyond LEO, like the upcoming lunar missions. This is a huge liability that casts doubt on the overall architecture. Contrast with the Saturn V, a smaller rocket that could nevertheless do an entire self-contained lunar mission with a single launch.

I was a huge Elon fan for many years, but everything he's been doing recently has been a swing and a miss.
This is not the same thing. My Chromecast dedicated device would put a default nice picture, then wait for a cast.

Google TV and this new device displays advertisements, store, and more. I hate it.

It's the last google thing in my house. When it dies, google will be gone from my house.

OpenAI and Generative AI Are at a Crossroads
Could someone elaborate on the reasons? Clearly translation is going to be one, since the market for any given game is going to be much smaller than the market for most social media sites. I would imagine that cultural norms, e.g. what is acceptable in one country is verboten in another, is a more significant barrier when it exists since it would alter the story or game mechanics. But is there anything else?
So helpful. That makes total sense.
Sure they are. People put together well-equipped car garages, woodworking shops, broadcast studios, all sorts of things all the time. Tens of thousands of dollars can get you where you need to be and people do that for their hobbies all the time.

Heck, "home recording studio" is now a minor industry of its own, post-COVID. A lot of voice actors have their own home studios set up now, doing top end TV work, because it was easier to do that then to travel.

Sorry to be "that Haskell guy", but this kind of space leak is a solved problem. I call the technique that solves it "make invalid laziness unrepresentable"[1]. That doesn't mean it's a trivial effort to apply the technique to everywhere in your codebase that needs it, it doesn't mean that every library you use will have applied the technique[2], but it does mean it's a solved issue with a fix that follows from best practices. Space leaks don't take the insight of gurus to fix.

I don't know much about it, but from a quick google, I don't think you're representing his stance precisely? From what I see, he claims a "climate crisis" doesn't exist, which is different than "climate change doesn't exist":

“The popular narrative about climate change reflects a dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people. Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience. In turn, the pseudoscience has become a scapegoat for a wide variety of other unrelated ills. It has been promoted and extended by similarly misguided business marketing agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies, and environmentalists. In my opinion, there is no real climate crisis. There is, however, a very real problem with providing a decent standard of living to the world’s large population and an associated energy crisis. The latter is being unnecessarily exacerbated by what, in my opinion, is incorrect climate science.”

and

“In my opinion, there is no real climate crisis. There is, however, a very real problem with providing a decent standard of living to the world’s large population and an associated energy crisis.”

I did learn something while writing this though. I assumed that ChatGPT wouldn't give an objective summary of Dr. Clauser's viewpoint, but I was dead wrong:

Me: "What are John Clauser's viewpoints on climate change? Summarize his arguments."

ChatGPT: "John Clauser, a Nobel laureate in physics, holds controversial views on climate change, which diverge significantly from the scientific consensus. Clauser has publicly stated that he does not believe there is a climate crisis. He argues that the major climate models fail to account for complexities and key variables, leading to exaggerated and misunderstood projections of climate change impacts. Clauser criticizes the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for spreading misinformation and claims that climate policies based on these models are wasteful and misguided (Logically) (Apple) (Apple) .

He suggests that the scientific approach to understanding climate involves careful observation and experimentation, and he emphasizes the need for distinguishing truth from misinformation. Clauser's stance aligns with the views of the CO2 Coalition, a group that argues that carbon dioxide emissions are beneficial and not a threat (CO2 Coalition) (CO2 Coalition) . His viewpoints have sparked considerable debate, especially given his prominence in the field of quantum mechanics and his Nobel Prize recognition."

Pretty good! Objective, clear and accurate from what I can tell.

I love my TCL tv. It’s not “dumb” since it’s actually a “google tv” , but if you don’t connect it to the internet, you don’t have to deal with that. It only shows a notification when turned saying it has no internet, but it goes away on its own after a few seconds.

When I turn it on, it will automatically select the previous input, so I don’t have to interact with the “smart welcome screen” or whatever it’s called. It can even be turned on and off by my set top box which actually handles the media playback. I only need to reach for its remote to change the brightness. I think it’s supposed to have some kind of adaptive thing, but it doesn’t work since I’ve disabled everything that sounded like “camera” or “mic”.

It has 4 HDMI ports, dvb-t, dvb-s and can play things from usb. It also has optical audio out and can output audio to Bluetooth headphones.

Image quality and brightness are great for my needs. Audio is surprisingly good, so I can use a low volume without issue.

The model is 65c845 and cost me less than 1000€ new. My understanding from reviews is that the panel is pretty good, but that they skimped on the “smart” side, which was the right choice if you ask me.
Just plug an external streaming box into it and move on. Embedded apps were always a dumb idea. Double bonus - disconnecting the TV from the 'net will stop their spying on you too.

My conspiracy theory is that renaming all products to generic names (Hangouts to Google Chat, G Suite to Google Workspace) are an attempt by Google to prevent regulators from splitting them out from the main company.

It's only a matter of time until Pixel gets renamed to "Google Phone".

I did some more research. Postgres doesn't handle transactions correctly. Once an error on a constraint occurs, subsequent commands are ignored. You can't handle errors in a transaction. Most RDBMSs don't require a rollback in that situation. It's weird.
Chromecast + Dumb TV is amazing. Unfortunate to see it go
Sometimes I wonder if this is it right here. Internally they think something like this:

Dev 1: “Well we have this backlog of bug reports and issues for Chrimecast”

Dec 2: “Ugh. I don’t want to do maintenance. Acknowledgment of there bugs will be a black mark on my career!”

Dev 1: “Lets re-brand it and close all the bugs. Now those bugs become features and we start with a clean slate!”

Assuming a TV consumes 70 Watts, why would they want to encourage using it as a picture frame? Either they care about the environment or they don't.
San Jose is very much a suburbia-type city, very spread out, downtown is rather small and you need a car 90% of the time, whereas SF is much denser.

Lots of shade here. The Chrome served to make dumb tvs smart. It did its job. It changed the world of TVs. We don't use it anymore because TVs are smart out of the box. Google could spend the next 20 years trying to service and repurpose these things or cut technical debt and move onto the next.
Any fully autonomous drone that can be produced in the near future will be easily foolable. And if it has a remote fail-safe deactivation system the enemy can figure it out and deactivate it too. So you solved absolutely nothing of what a wire solves. And made the same pitch we have for every ML product right now: we're X% there, next year we're there. When in fact next year we're still going to be next year away from there.

Can you see my surprised face? Me, too, neither.

Google is a serial murderer of its own parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

There is no product too small, or large, for Google to murder.

It is beyond my ken why any person, organization, company, or government would do business with Google or use Google's products.

You're just biding time for Google to murder your profits.
Dont forget Allo. Goes to show how much role luck plays in these companies' success and it is so strange that others still copy what Google, Amazon and these companies are doing thinking that they have some sort of management hack or routine which makes them successful but in fact they become successful despite of their bad practices not because of it.
> First thing I noticed was that the volume on the remote can only control Roku devices.

Rokus can send volume/mute commands through CEC. The volume buttons on my Roku control my home theater receiver, they controlled the volume on a sound bar on a different TV, and they controlled the TV volume.
You could still disrupt the communication pretty easily and someone has to go and physically set up the box
I have the same experience. My Chromecast worked great until yesterday, when there was an update and now the remote just refuses to pair. Luckily I can use my phone as a remote, it's not as convenient as the actual remote, but it works.

I'd really like to stop updates when I get something that works, but alas, Google "cares about my security".
That's a sensitive area for someone unknown to be touching.

FWIW I was all in on Google years ago. But as features and products kept vanishing or degrading and being replaced with ad driven crap, it eventually drove me to swear off all Google products. The only one I still use is Workspace.
> It still seems to be called that: https://store.google.com/us/product/chromecast_google_tv

From what I understand, this is the product they mean with "we're ending production of Chromecast, which will now only be available while supplies last."

They kept using the "Chromecast" brand just for dongles, and are now discontinuing all dongles in favor of a single new product.

My guess is that they reached a point where it's more economic to merge the GoogleTV reference design (ADT-3, ADT-4) with their Dongle-line and create a single box which serves both purposes...

The Apple TV comes with a great remote, and an iPhone not only isn't necessary, the backup "if you lost your remote" interface on the iPhone is kind of bad.

Though if you lose your remote in the cushions or whatever note that your iPhone can be used as a "hotter hotter colder colder" method to find the remote. Was surprised to find this feature. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/108371
> no std library code in portable code. FTFY.

Just want to clarify what I think you meant: no std library code in portable binaries, something I agree with 100%.

If you distribute in source, I believe almost always the opposite is true: relying on the standard library is probably a win. Not every time: some complex code bases have nonstandard requirements or can benefit from nonstandard code. Gaming is a good example of this.
As a lot of commenters are already pointing out, this is a bit different than Google’s past escapades with poor product management. In this case, they have a replacement hardware device, they have an operating system that is widely used by OEMs, and there is wide support for casting natively to TVs.
Out of curiosity, do you think those things are intrinsically hard, or is there a mutual escalation at play in some of these? Like I can imagine inspections are as hard as they are because you need to be prepared if weather becomes difficult to manage (for example). And then I imagine comms is hard/demanding because you can't assume that planning and inspections were done correctly. Etc.

I do wonder if reducing human error in some parts of this challenge stack would make it possible to lighten some of the other imposed burdens.

I did for a few weeks before switching back to Gmail. It wasn't really worth the cost, and the upfront sorting/filtering of emails into a white-list was a hassle (compared to the traditional way of reporting spam).

I don't really get spam with Gmail anyway, and there was no compelling reason to switch.
Last week we lost our Boston terrier. A chronic illness turned acute. What I thought was a routine trip to the vet turned into The Talk.

I held our little girl as the vet helped her go to sleep and told her: “It’s ok. You can rest now. We love you so much, but you don’t have to fight for us anymore. Lay down and sleep. It won’t hurt anymore.”

I’m glad Jake is surrounded by people who love him. I’m sure they’re telling him the same things. And I’m also sure it’s harder for them to let go of their beloved husband and brother than it will be for him to close his eyes and finally rest.

Sending much love his way, and also theirs.

I find that hard to believe...

"Cast" is a pretty ubiquitous term and, anecdotally, Chromecast is almost always the device I find when traveling.

Probably selection bias on my part, but I'd expect most people to be aware of Chromecast unless they're over the age of ~70 and fully Apple-oriented.

Seems like throwing away a perfectly well known brand.
>the phone/browser lock-in is largely due to lack of a standardized and open protocol to stream content in this manner.

I feel like the thing you are describing as lock-in is, in a critical sense, quite the opposite. It gave you the power to make a dumb TV into a versatile streaming system that's not locked down and beholden to Smart TV software.
I'm in a similar boat.

For audio it says it supports "Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Atmos", so I guess we can only assume that means DTS-X is missing.

But supporting HDR10+ a nice win over the shield, and it also does support the necessities like HLG, H.265, H.264, VP9, and AV1.
Cool. Looks like you can do screen-mirroring from Windows or Android as well, which covers all my use cases. Thanks!
IMO this is a part of the reason why they're dropping the Chromecast branding. The product is very different from the original Chromecast streaming stick. It is now mostly a cheap Google TV device.
This is very annoying. Even with the prevalence of smart tvs some tvs just don't come with all streaming apps I want and Chromecast was a great inexpensive option. They are discontinuing it in favor of a product that appeals to a totally different market in mind at 2x-3x the price. Roku still mostly fills that niche but I don't see the logic in this move at all.
In general it seems regular pattern in fraud. All sorts and specially financial. Things start small and then they are either repeated or grown in scale and eventually are caught. There is probably lot of one time fraud that does not get caught. But serial cases are the pattern when caught.
There's a theoretical limit of 1400 villages in the entire country at that size, and that's assuming zero population in cities. I don't see how it can be true.

If a village has 1 mil, then China is probably entirely made up of something like 40 cities and 500 villages, plus some smaller stuff.
Don't do anything unusual like SMS. It becomes a friction point where you'll lose people. Email/password, Google auth, and maybe another social depending on your product space is what people are used to.
Probably true, but it's not like "Google TV Streamer" is any better.

I can understand AMD not actively working on this solution since it gains them little while costing a hefty amount of developer time. Especially considering the fact that nVidia will be able to arbitrarily break this implementation with every update. What I don't understand is why they would take it down completely, is there some safety concern or are we in the 11 competing standards xkcd again?

The only feature I can think of that you would miss is using the phone to type passwords on the Apple TV (instead of using the keyboard-less remote). Set that up once, and you should otherwise not know the difference. Otherwise, my iPhone needs no interaction with the ATV.
Yes it's outright preposterous that the temperature of Earth could be affected by the Sun, of all things.
Seems really dumb not to continue using the name Chromecast, even if it has a remote now. It is essentially the same product and the best one on the market in its class.

So, pretty typical product/marketing shitshow from Google, unfortunately.
I am not reducing it to "Intel bad". There's tons of evidence of them having execution problems in recent years. Is it savable? Possibly. Intel is huge and has a good amount of time and support so they certainly have the resources to do so.

The available evidence that they are actually doing the right things to turn the ship around isn't that positive in my, or apparently many very large shareholders view though.
