You bring up great information for anyone who is familiar with Microcode and might get confused by my use of the term Microprogramming here.

I'm not talking about Microcode at all here, I'm repurposing the Microprogramming term for another use.

In addition to software, I have a background in Microbiology.

This new approach to programming is far more inspired by microbiology than by traditional programming langs (I've just updated the post with a bit more to clarify that, as I realize now that this connection was completely missed and my fault for ommitting it).

Final 2 points:

1. Wikipedia actually redirects "Microprogramming" to "Microcoding". The latter is a better term for writing microcode.

2. "Computer" once meant something else too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_(occupation)

While the tech is great, It should be affordable and usable, On the Interface

Voice - More and more, i feel like Voice is not a good interface as not many wants to speak aloud to get things done (see Alexa and Google home - only used as timers mostly) except for dictation.

Hand Tracking - We all know usable how touch screen on a laptop or big screen monitor is , the time and distance for travel with hand is too high compared to a mouse.

Eye Tracking - Seems to Lacks precision

Neural Link - Not sure how neural link is for using keyboard and stuff. Until we get neural link to read our thoughts, we may rely on keyboards and using multiple fingers are the fastest way.

yeah, I do that daily with xreal glasses. Never met more interesting people like this. As I can see normally but with a very large screen, people sit next to me , want to try and often buy them themselves on the spot. I also don't have to carry an annoying laptop.
This is great. Good job.
The Firefox feature under discussion, PPA, has nothing to do with targeting. It's about attribution.

It comes into play after you have seen an ad. If you later go visit the site the ad was promoting, it increments a counter maintained by Mozilla or by some company hired by Mozilla. Later the site the ad was for gets a report telling them something like that out of N people who saw the ad, M of those people later visited the site.

The ice clearly moves, as Europa's surface isn't just same as an airless, solid ball-of-rock's default: craters, but has all sorts of features that reshape the surface, so given enough time, it'll equilibrate. (What 'enough' means is left as an exercise to the reader). There are papers[1] that discuss the ice properties, but it's hard to get a specific answer out of them. There have to be tons of research papers out there about the design criteria for melt-drill probes like this, for Europa, Enceladus, and others.

Yes it would be that easy in Hollywood. I’d be willing to bet my entire net worth that even 200 years from now it will still seem absurd to put a drilling rig with multiple living humans onto Europa. Too bad I have no way to collect, much less say “I told you so.”
Metaware was a prolific compiler company based out of Santa Cruz in the 80s/90s. Loved what they did, they also had a very interesting culture. I knew about them through cough shady cough sites when learning and writing code back in the day.
The display is the most important spec for a subset of users. A 25% improvement in PPD is a big deal for productivity applications, but it just isn't particularly noticeable if you mainly play Beat Saber and Gorilla Tag.

In every respect other than the display, the 2s is basically a Quest 3 - you get stereo colour passthrough, the newer Gen 2 SoC, more RAM and the ringless controllers.
If substations are being upgraded, they should also be installing batteries and inverters at the substations at the same time.

I’m old enough to remember databases like IDMS before SQL came along. SQL simplifies database access in a similar way to how AI and low-code tools simplify application that have minimal logic - things like web pages, dashboards and the like.
But the moment you need to do something at the other end of the spectrum - like a complex financial model - they fall down completely. That’s because you need someone to program the logic.
Right now, only a programmer can do that. New tools are on the way, but they don’t use LLMs
Yes, we would. And likely will switch to SQLite at some point in the future. (source, I work adjacent to these systems at Airbnb)

OpenAI's chief technology officer Mira Murati to leave
I've done that; I set it up so that the table was the record stream, then a materialized view with the current state would be refreshed asynchronously when an insert happened. Fast as lightning. Wouldn't do it by default for everything tho.

Its one thing to record in public, another to stick a camera in someone's face.

I did wear the Wayfarers around and only one person commented on them (a hotel manager who recognized them while checking me in) but I definitely didn't feel comfortable just taking pictures of people without their knowing, ended up returning them because I never got a picture worth sharing anyway.

Besides, if there wasn't stigma they wouldn't have to make it so stealthy.

Does not seem to properly address the fact that with this kind of design you cannot do occlusion of brighter real world objects. This makes me SERIOUSLY doubt their "usable outside" claims. Maybe on a moonless night...

The lack of any fast head movement in all the demo videos also makes me think that they did not at all solve the latency problem, and all the slow deliberate movement is to hide that.

CTRL+F-ing for "occlusion" or "latency" has zero results, further compounding the worries
Hey, the code looks really good! Thanks for sharing. I'll probably go through it a bit later :)

P.S. Love the indentation
Yeah, it's sad to see those features as novel features instead of part of the standard list of features most programming languages supply.

There's a link to the compiler manuals at https://winworldpc.com/product/metaware-high-c-cpp/33x

The C manual PDF file mentions a 2007 copyright.
So instead of doing a tedious, thankless, unpaid job for 10, 20, 30 years, I can do it for 100, 200 or 300. Sounds awesome.
If you need this interface, use threads.
Yeah but those people still look stupid and are annoying (and selfish insecure) “look at me I’m in a coffee shop doing bidness”

Almost as annoying as people in airports/planes now watching their phones with no headphones. All out giving no ficks to people around them

Personally, I wouldn't be stoked to run Linux on them either to be honest. But both are being done. Practicality rules I suppose.
Nobody here is saying there shouldn't be consequences. Instead we are saying that every single person should have the right to seek forgiveness from their creator(s). If you execute someone before they have have made things right (or not), you are playing the role of God.
We have our own query language based on prolog which compiles to efficient queries depending on the underlying db.

Nice & timely!

There was an article a week ago on hacking the zoom .Deb to remove the ibis dependency, which they say was causing a lot of slowdown just for existing. https://hashman.ca/zoom/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41566785

Nice to see someone dive in & try improving the library! Many thanks!!

I am curious what the big picture looks like here. There's clearly a lot of work to make ibus-daemon faster, which is great. But the opening intro also talks about there being a lot of chattiness, and it'd be interesting to have a big picture view of why it's chatting so much over Wayland with gnome, to know what it's saying.
Quest 3 has had full passthrough AR for a year now
I think it's purely a simplicity thing.

Right now, most rails setups with decent traffic will have frontend boxes, a sql db, a KV store (redis or memcached), and a cache store pointed at the kv store, with, annoyingly, very different usage patterns than typical KV store usage, eg for maintaining api quotas or rate limiting.

Disk performance has gotten fast enough and SQL performance has gotten good enough that there's a movement to drop the KV store and split the usages (for traditional KV use and also backing a cache) to the sql db and disk, respectively. Plus new nvme disks are almost as fast and still much cheaper than ram so you can cache more.

I would love to see Looms of people attemptig to use some of the products here (and there are many! all free, no signup, all public domain), so that we can prioritize what we need to fix and document better to allow more people to benefit from this technology.

Mahalo!
The US has more violent crime than other Western countries, so as a deterrent, it does not work. Perhaps instead of wasting money on death penalty appeals and killing innocent people, we should think about how we as a country can overhaul the prison system and our societal structures.
It's more tricky than that, because inside a black hole things turn really weird.
Of course things might get unpredictable close to the singularity if you really assume it is just a ton of matter squished into a tiny point as seen from the outside, but the overall spacetime geometry inside black holes would be untouched by that. Especially if you consider large, supermassive black holes that even have comfortable tidal forces at the horizon. If you now look at black hole geometries in GR, you'll find that the singularity is not a point in space, it is actually a moment in time. Once you cross the event horizon, that moment becomes part of your future, which means that there is absolutely nothing you could do to escape it. So a more accurate description of a singularity would not say "super dense point in space" - it would literally describe it as "the end of time." As in the opposite of the big bang.
the falsehoods on wikipedia are usually purposeful deceptions so I tend not to bother with it as a go-to. net-net AI has about the same level of accuracy and lacks the actual mendacity.

almost none of us are going to move any discipline forward, let alone discover new math, but as part of the long tail of people who could benefit from recognizing classes of problems with solutions in the domain of graph colouring, AI is sufficient for most purposes.

sorry that nobody appreciates your effort though.
This sounds like moving the goal and a much more difficult problem than just upgrading the substation.
Having sourcecode to everything would make me trust things more as at least we could fix things without calling MS.

But what would you run? QNX? BSD?
The images might not be coplanar and the overlapping composition should be 2d planes in 3d space or go full gaussian splat.
On medium-DPI screens, I find that subpixel antialiasing make fonts significantly less blurry than grayscale antialiasing without causing obvious color fringing. On actual low-DPI screens, bitmap fonts are IMO the only really usable option. (YMMV, but I have mild astigmatism and use glasses.)
In the article they describe a 2D wrapper that can represent 3D objects in the 3D bulk space between it with mathematical equivalence. Can we not extrapolate this to mean that it is possible our 3D universe encapsulates a 4D bulk space?
Just because you have the source code, doesn't mean you have the knowledge to fix it before you die.

I found this table. I picked out a few data points

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sievert#Dose_examples

5–10 μSv: One set of dental radiographs

10–30 mSv: Single full-body CT scan

80 mSv: 6-month stay on the International Space Station

1 Sv: Maximum allowed radiation exposure for NASA astronauts over their career

5 Sv: Calculated dose from the neutron and gamma ray flash, 1.2 km from ground zero of the Little Boy fission bomb, air burst at 600 m

5.1 Sv: Fatal acute dose to Harry Daghlian in 1945 criticality accident

He died 25 days later

54 Sv: Fatal acute dose to Boris Korchilov in 1961 after a reactor cooling system failed on the Soviet submarine K-19 which required work in the reactor with no shielding

He died 6 days later

Posting as a throwaway for obvious reasons...

"evidence of innocence"...

I was once accused of a financial crime, around taking money from an account. I was, admittedly, guilty, however, the amount claimed was nearly triple the amount that I had taken (there were multiple shenanigans happening).

When my attorney and I said "Actually, we think the amount is $X, not $3X, because x y and z", we had an extraordinarily difficult time with the Prosecutor, who wanted US to justify why we thought the amount was only $X.

Apropos of any plea or deal or whatever, no... the onus is on the Prosecution to verifiably demonstrate the loss. Not for me to justify why I think the amount is different. Ironically, the justification we did provide came from the Prosecution. "You said the loss was $Z, including $Y in checks which were diverted. Witness statements and other testimony showed that these checks were NOT diverted, by their own words. Ergo, the loss is $Z-$Y."

Prosecutor was still "you need to show me the math for what that equates to". "No, that amounts to incriminating self, and is, bluntly, not my responsibility. You need to assert how you came to the number you are claiming in the charge."
Ask HN: Do you use AI to help you resolve moral dilemmas?
Maybe you already have a feeling as to what the answer should be and just want the AI to confirm your moral intuition?
I thought the same thing. I would have loved to have known about this 30 years ago. If only there had been an o'reilly book.
Maybe it's just me, but I imagine most normal people stop replying if you get an aggressive/stupid comment, no blocking needed.
IMO that kind of thinking flips correlation/causation, and feels like some sort salience bias towards voluminous but crappy work. Yes, you can do it, just good bye impact. Worse, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy: by moving your work to be more incremental, you're even more at risk by the incremental advances of others.

The field exploded, so yes, there are way more good and even more bad papers, so some researchers interpret that as the need to publish a lot. Top labs attract a lot of students and funding, so the PI spends little time per student, and instead farms out to post docs who are there for only a few years, and in turn they do most of the phd student mentoring. And many folks want to bean count neurips papers. The result is yes, if you're unintentional about impact, and get distracted by the volume, you too can optimize for that, do lets of incremental work, ultimately you've learned some skills and wrote papers that won't matter. Google/FB/OpenAI/Spotify/LinkedIn/etc will still hire you at the end, that's fine, they hire a ton of phds.

Objectively, there are some real jumps happening, but zoomed out, very few of the papers coming out in a given year change all that much. E.g., we're using LLMs for some hard societal problems (misinfo, cyber, ...), but nothing fundamental changed in our startup's work since gpt-4 came out, and all versions before gpt-4 weren't significant enough to motivate using generative LLM methods. There are a few methods we're tracking (e.g., graph RAG, certain kinds of agents), but most work is embarrassingly shallow or bad, so the incremental papers have done almost nothing to influence us, and we learn more from other industry folks doing more ambitious or real work here. The previous disruption on our AI side was around GNNs, but that was over many years and quite rocky. So if we were doing all this as a serious PhD project (invention) instead of as a startup (innovation), I'd expect similarly low levels of disruption from the perceived fast pace of others.
Imho hand gestures are the best way to interact with XR.

If your only experience is the HoloLens, you’re roughly a decade out of date with how well it can work today.

There’s also not been much until the Vision Pro that combines eye tracking with hand tracking which is what’s really needed.

You should really try the Vision Pro, because it really does move hand tracking to the point where it’s the best primary interaction method. Controllers might be good for some stuff , in the way an Apple Pencil is, but most interactions do not need it.
Sure, but without it, you stand no chance at all.

I think C is a simple well-designed systems language. It has some warts, but many of the things people complain about are matters of preference – or due to a lack of understanding of the problems that C is good at solving.

The only major challengers to C in the last 50 years are C++ and Rust. I think that’s a testament to the quality of the language.
I understand the frustration here! As the other commenter noted, it's quite bit tougher to make Haystack as good in the form of an extension, but we do plan to eventually explore this path!

No, but you can review the source code before (or at any point), whereas with Windows, you cannot even do that.
