"is the Settings dialog laid out in standard tabs or icons across the top, rather than something else (like a list box on the left)?"

Or worse, a huge plain old JSON with tons of multi line comments explaining what one particular key does.

Like, I get it, its l33t and haxx0r to use a text file for settings, and yeah, you can easily transfer it to other platforms unlike an XML Plist file, but I despise apps that don't even bother providing a basic UI for changing settings. Ctrl+F "autocomplete" (30 results) is a *terrible* experience vs a natively drawn "Autocomplete" tab in a settings modal.
Democrats had cumulative decades of opportunity to instate abortion access in national law and declined to ever do so. All of the things you're pointing out are true but downstream of that.
Insane as in “how can Meta be so crazy as to commit themselves to AR still just because it’s in their company name” or as in “insanely good”?

Genuine question!
I have 500+ posts over ~9 years and the polish is what lets me absorb what I've written into memory.

If I look at the titles of all of my posts I can pretty much recall the details of the post to a reasonable degree, certainly enough to get a complete gist of it and understand the head space I was in at the time.

If I stick to internal chicken scratch notes then I have a harder time remembering things later. I guess you could say it's the process of writing a somewhat coherent post that has a beginning, middle and end that's really helpful for retention.
> this is partly because most people don't consider 'temporality' as a feature a database should offer

Not sure on your definition of 'people', but I think every business ultimately wants solid auditing and reporting capabilities across their IT systems.

These concerns are only increasing in importance as new regulations demand stronger data provenance, but their implementation shouldn't be reliant on the process of "proper schema design" to get things right first time.

Databases built for the modern world should be making this stuff bulletproof and easy.

(I work on XTDB - and if Postgres already supported temporal tables I possibly wouldn't!)
What am I conflating? No one is required to go to Twitter. They are occasionally required to go near the town square, and they tolerate Nazis in their face even there.

2. It could just be enough reason to cause review
Related, a seventh person has been "cured" (article quotes) of HIV/AIDS after a stem cell transplant:

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/seventh-person-cu...

The donor had 2 copies of the CCR5 gene, which resulted in HIV not being able to enter immune cells (like T cells) as efficiently, giving them time to fight it off.
The fish fried is delicious, oily, full of protein and a little salty. Salt is added routinely to the dish.

Anchovies in Spanish mean normally only the canned, very salty, thing. If you want to buy the fresh fish, there is a different word for it. The third option to consume it is marinated on vinegar, that also uses the fish name (plus "on vinegar").
SI house band when? :D
But I know Clojure is in use in quite a few places, and it has quite a few really capable people supporting it in one way or another. Plus it has good documentation and several books teaching it. That's very different from a slick (and impressive) framework built by one company for themselves.

Also, code written for Electric is very specific to Electric. But Clojure is just functional-first Lisp. It's very easy to rewrite in another language, even an imperative language. There wouldn't be a huge paradigm shift translating Clojure to any of half a dozen popular languages.
Today with spread spectrum, it's probably much easier to hide a covert radio signal.
That's how https://github.com/backtrace-labs/verneuil 's read replication is meant to be used. There's a command-line tool to recreate a sqlite DB file from a snapshot's manifest, with an optional local cache to avoid fetching unchanged pages, or you can directly use a replica in memory, with pragmas for (async) refreshes.

The write tracking needs to intercept all writes with a custom VFS, but once registered and configured, it's regular in-memory SQLite (no additional daemon).
Wow. Something seems to have really changed at Meta in the last few years. I really thought the company had run out of innovation juice during its peak evangelism of "the metaverse." And I know I wasn't alone in that sentiment. But they continue to impress across the board.
I have to assume there are folks out there for whom the maximum chonky appearance is appealing.

I think we still have some room to grow there in terms of aesthetic for the majority though.

"the look and feel of a regular pair of glasses" is... one way to describe it. They look totally goofy. But the tech seems amazing, assuming those videos actually reflect reality (which is hard to say, since this is not a real product, just a prototype announcement).
Thats not the point I am making. I think you people can make a case for expenses without conflating them with economic investment. A swing set might not make money, but I can play with my kids there and have fun. I can buy a beer without it being an investment.

I dont think I agree with the velocity of money argument. It wouldnt be stagnating under some mattress. However, that is a much bigger topic that I dont think Im up for today

fzf + curl.

- Easy to find things in your shell history with fzf

- curl supports everything you may need HTTP-wise.

One of my favourite curl snippets:

curl -vvv 'https://google.com' \
-w "==============\n\n | dnslookup: %{time_namelookup}\n | connect: %{time_connect}\n | appconnect: %{time_appconnect}\n | pretransfer: %{time_pretransfer}\n | starttransfer: %{time_starttransfer}\n | total: %{time_tot
al}\n | size: %{size_download}\n | HTTPCode=%{http_code}\n\n"

which results in this little table after all the actual HTTP output:

| dnslookup: 0.033616
| connect: 0.234668
| appconnect: 0.512112
| pretransfer: 0.277686
| starttransfer: 0.307353
| total: 0.308548

I kid, but only a little bit. What does Postman offer?
I use the Vim VS Code plugin! It mostly works, but I'm not going to lie: there are a couple of bugs e.g. when you go to definition the Vim selection gets confused because in most cases you get placed into a symbol editor.

I am happy to fix any bugs here. I am the only person I know who uses the Vim plugin in Haystack, so I haven't prioritized fixing the bugs I encounter.
It's wild that "predatory" doesn't sound at least as bad as "fraudulent". Customers aren't prey just as much as they're not people to be lied to!
> For example, with one pipeline, each step taking 1 unit of time, once the pipeline is filled, will take six units of time to make a six-pack

Compared to 18 units of time needed to make a six-pack without pipelining. Gee, what a wondrous invention this "pipeline" is: having three workers means the work is accomplished thrice as fast, yet there is (according to you) no parallelism at all! So naturally, if we could introduce parallelism inside this single pipeline, we would be able to make another triple reduction in time, and get a production of six-pack take only 2 units of time.
I can't wait for a new round of moral panic to set in over this. Some of us remember the hysteria over playing rock music backwards.
Say what you want about Zuckerberg. But once again you have witnessed the heavy investment in reality labs to create a new XR glasses platform that potentially ticks all the boxes that will take consumer XR glasses mainstream:

* Looks very cool and more natural. (In comparison, look at Snap XR Glasses)

* No wires sticking out.

* Not a huge VR headset.

* Can see what you see through the lenses for XR capabilities.

* Controllable through eyes, hands and neural interface to cover almost all scenarios without looking awkward in public.

* Integrates with an existing app ecosystem.

Orion is very promising and appears to be in the lead for mainstream XR glasses so far.

In general, it appears that everyone here misjudged and betted against Meta and Zuck when they were at $93 with calls for Zuck to be 'fired' when the stock crashed. [0] Now the stock is at all time highs.

Remember. They didn't even mention Threads. At all. It is another way for them to monetize that if they want to.

That is true founder mode and the death of Meta Platforms Inc. has been absolutely exaggerated.

I'd be surprised if this hadn't happened at some point. Rocks from Mars found their way over to Antarctica.

However something to consider is that whatever biological material that ends up landing elsewhere probably wouldn't be able to survive and reproduce. I say that because even the hardiest microbial organisms on Earth still depend on the activity of other species in the ecosystem. For instance, only certain species of bacteria produce Vitamin B and I can't think of any species that is completely self-reliant. It's one thing to keep a cell from dying in a harsh environment, but it would have to bootstrap itself into metabolizing and reproducing in a barren environment with no prior life to consume building blocks from.

That being said, I'm not enough of a biologist to know if there are any extremophile bacteria which are completely self sufficient. If there are, we can rule out my layman's assertion/thought experiment.
I went to one of those timeshare presentations before just because the free prize for sitting through it was especially desirable.

My impression is that they were heavily targeting people who were bad at math. Every time I ran the numbers (I had a lot of opportunities while trapped in the room waiting for the prize counter to open) it just made no sense whatsoever. Beyond the amount you were overpaying for the apartment, the fees we so expensive that you could vacation on what you would have been paying in fees for a long time. The fees didn't even get you much, you still had to do all of the cleaning and a lot of the maintenance as they were not included. The fees only really covered exterior maintenance and mowing the lawns, and were about two or three orders of magnitude higher than they should be for those services if you assumed every unit in the complex was paying them 52 times a year.

Timeshares as a concept could in theory work, but the entire industry consists of grifters far more focused on getting rich than providing a service to their customers. It is ironic that the primary focus of the presentations is how expensive it would be to take a beach vacation every year, which is true, and how timeshares in concept could make this much more affordable, which is also true, but then they show you the numbers and the reality is completely opposite.
Most likely we would either have to get the user to do this (we plan to add this as a feature) or use AI to understand when disconnected code (from the LSP standpoint) is indeed connected.

This is a top user request though!
> Orion has the largest field of view in the smallest AR glasses form to date.

Did they say what it is, specifically?
What a great mindset. People should be punished for exercising their rights based on an external interpretation of their motive. You realize you are saying rights should only exist after analyzing peoples' intention which is totally contrary to the Universalist definition of rights given by the constitution. To you rights are not something that all people should just intrinsically have. Just like the 'rights' granted by the Chinese constitution.
Please, less typing, more takey meds.
I mean. The #1 web framework is made by Meta... (React is one of the all time top repositories on GitHub) But that aside, the real issue is when they try to force users of unrelated products into Facebook. I'll likely never buy a Meta device because they bothered to try at all.
This is the form factor that I always wanted from HoloLens (which I own). The release is very light on details of field of view and resolution (other than "best ever" puffery), that's where we'll get a better sense of actual use cases. The ball game shown looked very rudimentary in terms of only taking place in a small directly-in-front-of-user sense. This is also where HoloLens games fell flat -- you'd turn your head slightly to the left or right, and suddenly key game elements would vanish.

Edit -- the home page says 70-degree FoV. Not bad, better than HoloLens (45-degree FoV if I recall), but perhaps not enough to turn your head to the person next to you while still having game elements persist in vision
I've worked at places where the feature flag system was much more dynamic than that, considering way more than just membership in a group.

This meant you could roll features out to:

- Specific user IDs

- Every user ID in a specific group

- Every object owned by a specific user ID (feature flags might apply to nested objects in the system)

- Requests from IP addresses in certain countries

- Requests served by specific website TLDs

- Users who are paid members of a specific plan

- etc etc etc

It was an enormously complicated system, that had evolved over 5-10 years.

Not saying that level of complexity is recommended, but that's what we had.

Looks like I gave a talk about this back in 2014: https://speakerdeck.com/simon/feature-flags

The advantage is that that can be somebody else's job though, and ideally (eventually) an AI's job.

I have my Automations and Applescripts fail regularly, and I saw it discussed as one of the things Apple stopped maintaining after the move to ARM. In my experience, it doesn't work. (Of course, I can't compare to how well it worked on x86...)
Another annoying scenario is when the search result isn't the actual page/article/… itself, but only a snippet within a site's own (paginated) index.

At the time Google had indexed that page, the article preview you were looking for was maybe on page 5 of that index, but by the time you're arriving, it might have moved to page 11 because of all the additional content that got added since then.

With online shops it's even worse, because there items get both added and possibly removed again, plus the default ordering usually isn't strictly chronologically but some sort of popularity-based or whatever algorithm, so something that originally was indexed on page 5 of the catalogue might by now be on page 2 or on page 12 or it might have been dropped from the inventory altogether.
I think this should be retitled to specify it's a story about the key players or the history of this subject, not so much subject matter itself.

Often I click something related to Quanta and it seems to occupy a very strange target audience. It starts with a title or link that seems lures a reader with in-depth knowledge of some subjects. I think most readers see that title and get excited about all kinds of things like a simplified introduction to subjects they weren't able to grasp in the past or someones unique perspective that might help them better understand the topic.

Instead the article is actually the story and history of some people involved. That's an interesting article as well, but I think it's a different title.
"the look and feel of a regular pair of glasses... as depicted on any cartoon caricature of a nerd". It's really impressive if they fit that much into the frame, but they're thick.

If I had multi-millionaire or billionaire money I'd put a satellite in low earth orbit with high definition cameras just to livestream the view in VR.
For C# unfortunately we're missing a lot of features because the VS Code ecosystem itself lacks them (I think this is due to them being unique to Visual Studio). In most cases, except grabbing incoming/outgoing calls, Haystack should just work.

For Python, it should work just fine!
> To make it faster, you either have to decrease the time for a step (but you will always be capped with the slowest step), or go for parallelism---a separate pipeline (or pipelines).

> A single pipeline just makes the output have a predictable latency and time; multiple pipelines give you parallelism.

No, the pipeline does give you parallelism because you're doing three (in the bottling example) pieces of work simultaneously, that is: in parallel. Filling, capping, labeling are each being done on different bottles at the same time. How is that not parallelism?

Let's use some numbers:

Filling, capping, labeling take 30s, 15s, 15s each (arbitrary, chosen for easy math). Without a pipeline you will process 60 bottles per hour (say one station that does all 3 tasks and then kicks out the bottle, let's ignore transition times). With a pipeline you can get 120 per hour. You've improved throughput. The latency per bottle is still 60s.

BTW, you can double throughput again without even needing a full second pipeline just by adding a second filling station (with my example numbers) and feeding filled bottles to the same capping and labeling stages, getting you to 240 per hour.

Is an interpretation.

Perhaps you've met someone that told you this is what's happening to them. But that's an individual, not a blanket assumption you can place across all the locals.

Source: I am a PNW local. I wasn't born here, but have been here since I was a kid. Here's the thing about your point about "insincere nice". It's not insincere. It's just delusional.

I met lots of people. I get excited about lots of them. I mean when I say I want to hang out again, or show them around. I can visualize a future where we do those things. I want to leave the door open to that happening.

But I get busy, I get tired. I make tough choices. And this new person ends up getting prioritized at the bottom of the list.

I know the criticism. This is mean. It's cruel. But it feels meaner to say "i'm too busy to hang out" to someone who i genuinely like and feel like if things lined up well, we could become friends.

If I say "let's hang out again soon" and we never do, I wasn't lying to you. I was lying to myself.
We don't know that yet.

My suspicion is that Apple is stomping its foot as loudly as possible about the evil European Commission while getting language/localization support in order.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if they suddenly and miraculously discovered a way to somehow still be compliant in the last minute and launch the feature as planned to not endanger their sales.
Yeah it's legit. Never bothered to create a HN account but caught wind of this post and had to come drop some good words about the team. I use it (for free) and have no skin in the game. Just want to let folks know of a free tier that is literally 10x better than the next best thing!

It's actually pretty good - usually the reason it's not accurate is because enough data isn't being fed to the simulator. That's one of the things that was great about doing it in SI - it wasn't hard to get the data in to the simulator.

But if I was AWS, I would also say you should check your IAM against the real world, because if you don't, it's pretty easy to wreck you environment. ;)
Early days it seems as there's no FAQ. Was trying to figure out who is running the AI and I couldn't find it, except it's not Mozilla.

On the bright side they do mention they won't use the user data for training, but on the negative side they say they send it to a third party.

Would definitely like to see more clearly who is responsible for what.

They do state it's Mixtral 7B behind the scenes.
A lot of people mentioned Light Table, but I didn't know about it until post-launch!

It's interesting that you mention a more 3D view. We were ideating on this, but it's really hard to get right in a way that the user can understand. This is definitely part of our vision for the future though!

EDIT: Deleted the bit about my speculation regarding Light Table since it's false.
A few major elements to this that I'm really interested in:

1. wireless data transfer and how that affects the performance

2. EMG: this is alright, but seems to be a bit overhyped

3. MicroLED: clearly the best display technology available, but how close is color display to consumer price levels?

4. silicon carbide: great material, interested in seeing it at scale

5. magnesium frame: super awesome to see this being pushed as wel
