> Excluding a part of the population for no practical reason at all is bad business. But when the politics becomes extremist, that share becomes huge, and it becomes disastrous business.

Companies do this all the time though. The trade off is, of course, that you get more support from customers the other side.

> But the guy's principles is "big business is right"... I'm not sure what he wants to achieve.

This is not an accurate representation. For example, the Twitter acquisition followed a period of Twitter (and most other social media) banning a lot of conservative accounts for publishing truthful reporting (New York Post) or actual satire with the disfavored political leaning (Babylon Bee), at which point Musk did a Twitter poll asking the entire site if Twitter adheres to the principle of free speech:

https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1507259709224632344

70% said it didn't, so he bought it.

This upset a lot of people (not least the people who liked the preexisting system that tended to ban their political opponents) and they've been characterizing everything he does in a negative light since. So then you'll get a lot of stories about a left-leaning account being suspended with the implication that he's just doing it the other way now, with no investigation into whether the suspension was deserved, or just characterizing the unavoidable false positives and false negatives in moderation as a willful bias etc.

That isn't to say he's a saint, but the impression you'd get from reading a lot of this coverage is that he's the devil.
price controls is rent control. SF. see also: NYC
"you can raise rent by X% per year AT MOST, no more than that"
if inflation / supply/demand is >X%, the landlord eats it.
Thus landlording might be for some, more appealing elsewhere.

Cali also has prop 13 i.e. rent control on real estate taxes. So if I bought my house in 1955, I might pay $100/year in property tax, the guy who just bought a completely identical house next door this year might pay $15,000 a year in property tax. On basically the same house. How is that fair? kinda a boomer "I got mine" type mentality. Also part of the bay area real estate problem, in addition to zoning/byzantine planning, borken process - why would anyone want to move out?!? Moving out would mean +$15,000/year tax, every year. Just stay put.

Of note in Singapore there's not really the concept of "apartment building" business and it works fine (very dense NYC tier housing there). The reason why is the more "units" you own, taxes become progressively more brutal, an apartment building would be tax armageddon. So most rentals are a person who owns a few condo type units and rents them, few enough that taxes aren't bad. Most people aim for owning, and for owning there is a private sector but a public government sector that provides home at more reasonable prices with various perks and incentives. That's how to handle housing when you've got tons and tons of people and almost no land.

I actually did some fiddling with Wireshark, and it looks to me that it should be easy to make a tunnel masquerading as TLS 1.3 in Python. Firefox's TLS requests mostly look the same except for several fields (like RandomId, SessionId, SNI) and it is easy to write a tunnel in Python that would send similar initial packets (so that they look exactly like the ones sent by the browser), and after pretending to setup a TLS session, incapsulate real traffic as TLS Application Data records. You don't need to implement real TLS protocol, you just need to make several initial packets by template.

The project you mentioned seems to be pretty complicated; I think it is possible to implement the tunnel in a single Python file without any external libraries. But I was not intending to implement any serious crypto, just masquerade traffic.

Yes, I saw that project and even the English documentation is not easy to read.

(Not my area of expertise, but I believe this is about accurate with regard to the Apple ecosystem)

These were old photos, many taken with older digital cameras and early smartphones, and they worked very well. I believe as long as they're of a reasonably high resolution (so, any camera from the last 20 years or even more), it'll work. Of course, it's ML-based attempting to simulate 3D from a single image, so it's not always perfect, but I didn't run into any significant failures.

Btw, to capture spatial videos, the easiest way is to use an iPhone 15 Pro (with its camera in "spatial video" mode) or the Apple Vision Pro itself. I'd guess there are ways to convert videos from other formats into this, or to use other apps to view photos/videos in non-native formats, but I'm not personally familiar.

They do, but Meta's knows the market for $3500 device is way smaller than Apple realized. Sub $1000 is a must. Apple doesn't respect or support developers so there are no apps for it, no games for it. Everything but the screens are sub-par for the Apple device (to date, things might change).

Meta will come out with a Quest 4 that will be better than the 3 and sell WAY more than Apple's device. As heard on a podcast, I've seen more Cybertrucks than I have Apple Vision Pro's in the world.

Find nearby is a godsend.
I think the chain of logic is that due to anaemic reception and the Quest3 being unexpectedly good, Apple has pulled forward the cheaper Vision Pro. This has lead to Meta launching head to head with that product, and hence needing to either produce something with comparable specs or do it for a much cheaper price than they thought previously. That not being feasible, they are falling back to their mass market strategy - fully own the low to middle end.

But none of this is about either company stepping back from the overall vision. What they are doing is jostling for market strategy, fit and timing - and adjusting to each other's moves as they go.

> The acronym is misleading because "immediate-mode" was initially coined as a reference to obsolete graphics API which made it very easy to render contents.

Is that actually true? From what I remember of hearing Casey (the person who coined the term) talk about it on Handmade Hero and various other streams, it's differentiating between 'immediate mode' and 'retained mode' GUI APIs (QT, GTK, Swing, MFC .. etc) which make you retain handles to UI elements. AFAIK it didn't have anything to do with the graphics API whatsoever ..? Right?

EDIT: Watched the video linked of Casey from 05, which I'd never seen before and was quite interesting. I'm not totally convinced that the small portion he talked about renderer APIs near the 10 minute mark substantiates the claim, but it might.

I feel like you should've been more careful with your question, unlawful people might answer that they lost AirPods although they didn't.

Unless you have a way to verify they're truthful owners, I would ask something like "I have something that might belong to you, did you lose anything in the past few days?"

EDIT: I missed the part about verification, my bad.

Dependency bloat is an issue with Rust in general. The dependency trees for any meaty Rust project quickly become pretty horrifying. Auditing all these dependencies is infeasible, and my level of confidence in a lot of them is fairly low.

I worked with Rust for a few years, and with the benefit of a few years' experience, I don't think I'll be touching Rust again until the ecosystem matures a great deal (which will only come with significant corporate adoption), or if I need something for a no-std, no-deps, strictly-a-C-replacement kind of project. (Though Zig might edge out Rust for this use case once it stabilises.)

Yes exactly in politics and not in business, in particular if you are the CEO.
In this particular case, it's worth the reminder that BMW's founder (Günther Quandt) was a strong financial supporter of the Nazi party, and his children (Herbert and Harald Quandt) enslaved tens of thousands of people in BMW factories before the collapse of Nazi Germany. I'm not trying to tell anyone to boycott BMW or Mercedes - just trying to add some historical context for those who instantly react to Tesla news with "Elon is bad".
I think the teleportation angle is even more compelling from the point of view of enabling virtual co-presence. With photo-realistic avatars as Apple and Meta have both demonstrated are fully possible, we'll soon be in a situation where you can click a button and be fully present with anybody anywhere, any time. This is as close to true physical teleportation that humanity will ever get, and I expect that once it's mature and reliable and available at accessible price points, the tangible benefits will make this tech take off in a huge way.
It’s better with the newer AirPod models. The older ones are bad enough that I have an AirTag attached to my AirPods case.
i3 was a fascinating car and remains one of the best used cars currently available, but it had 2 bets that BMW lost badly.

1) That batteries would remain really expensive. Lithium batteries have been falling in price for a long time and EV demand was only going to drive new innovations and economies of scale, so even at the time that seemed like a poor bet. BMW wasn't entirely wrong since battery prices stayed quite high during the model lifespan, but it didn't really matter because bet 1) lead to bet 2)
2) Carbon Fibre construction. BMW bet that EVs would need to be light to extract range from small batteries, so they made a CFRP monocoque and made a wager they could find ways to manufacture CFRP at scale more cheaply. They were pretty wrong (though it has led to an explosion of carbon fibre trim options on M models that is nearly pure profit)

i3 had such a small battery, but it still had the huge EV cost penalty that made early EVs very niche. That proved pretty fatal, though the few that got one did tend to really like them.

That double failure scared BMW pretty badly and they retreated to shared platforms, so every EV they sell can't take advantage of the packaging benefits being an EV allows. There are huge spaces for engines up front that is nearly all wasted.

Despite that deficiency BMW has invested a ton into their EV powertrains, so they actually have some of the best efficiency out there.
I mean, he said right in the article that they verified they paired.

Also, despite all the press hysteria, "unlawful people" aren't so common that a bunch of 80 messages will automatically bring them out of the woodwork. Most people are decent.

Yes. Twitter had terms of use. And posting hateful and targeted attacks misgendering people was against their terms. This wasn't some "THEY'RE PERSECUTING ME FOR MUH CONSERVATIVE BELIEFS!". This was just flat out them being unambiguous assholes.

The further subsidies were not "ignoring achievement" they were subsidies that were shifting to include union labor.

The idea that it has anything to do with Tesla, as opposed to anything else, is a bit weird.

If one or two Republicans like the idea of EV subsidies without union labor, their votes could have shifted everything. But of course, there was universal condemnation of these polices by all Republicans.
It has been clear from fairly early on the AVP should never have launched - it just has no reason to exist. I cannot escape thinking there must have been some internal argument where the choices ended up as kill the project or release what we have, and the latter was chosen because it was seen to be easier.

Let’s face it, without Zuck’s personal interest reality labs would have gone years ago.

It is one thing for companies with billions to burn them chasing non existent markets but when they attempt to drag in lots of smaller third parties in order to build demand for their platforms . . . well, developers should be a lot more skeptical.

Your argument relies too much on "I know exactly how people think". I'd like evidence.

This is a pretty strange assertion given that I didn’t specify the crypto operation I wanted to perform. Is XAES-256-GCM available in the Java standard library?

Sure, because doing it the other way would be very expensive. But that doesn’t mean applications which can’t front or backload native processing don’t exist, it just means they will have slower throughput in Java.
