> Controllers and rings provide no benefit over Apple's approach.

When I touch a good quality button, I can feel the actuation point, and it's the same every time - I can learn to tell reliably whether I've pressed it or not.

When I touch my thumb and forefinger for a camera, I can't reliably tell what point it'll get detected as touching, because it isn't the same point each time.

As a result, I have to hold them together until I'm sure it's registered.

As a user, knowing unambiguously whether you've activated a control or not is a huge advantage for controllers & buttons.
This is very interesting. The company that looks most poised to capitalize on a product like this is still Apple.

Wireless compute puck = iPhone
Wrist band = Apple watch (although most people wear it on their non-dominant hand)

From the videos it looks like Meta adopted Apple's UI of a horizontal handle bar underneath a window for interacting with a piece of content.

Considering that the 100 degree field of view of the Apple Vision Pro is already noticeable, 70 degrees seems really limiting.
What parts would actually need realtime response? Only thing I can think of would be thrusters, but wouldn't that be solved by an asic? Essentially a network command where you say "I don't care specifically when you do this, but I'm requesting a correction of M-magnitude in this 3-vector. If I don't get an ack within 500ms cancel. "
Most podcasts offer an ad-free version if you throw 2 or 3 bucks per month to them.

>Microsoft is charging higher license costs for Windows server on competing cloud providers (but not all competing providers) than on Azure.

> A vendor dictating what hardware you can run it on is expected.

Correct, Microsoft is literally dictating what hardware you can run it on, and what it costs to run it on that hardware. Which has been happening for decades. Either you've never dealt with enterprise software, or you're refusing to acknowledge reality. Oracle has been doing this from the beginning of time, they charge a different "per core" price depending on the type of core you choose, to promote the sale of their own hardware.

They extended the same pricing model to cloud. The only reason you're complaining about this is because it's Microsoft.

The prosecutor's office and the victim's family both pushed to stop the execution due to reasonable doubt. Think they might have an idea of the available evidence?

The previous governor had begun an inquiry into the matter but the new governor shut that board down and blocked any and all attempts to halt the execution.
I think they have an innovation problem. There are a few signals wrt the o1 release that indicate this. Not really a new model but an old model with CoT. And the missing system prompt - because they're using it internally now. Also seeing 500 errors from their REST endpoints intermittently.
I don’t understand this point. The project under scrutiny is Android and people are detecting vulnerabilities both manually and automatically based on source code/binary, not over commit logs. Why would the commit logs be relevant at all to finding bugs?

The commits are just used for attribution. If there was some old lib that hasn’t been changed in 20 years that’s passed fuzzing and manual code inspection for 20 years without updates, chances are it’s solid.
But why don’t they go down in price until there is an equilibrium?
Speaking of which, I just recently blocked Cocomelon on my kid’s iPad. How insane is it that a company is purposefully putting out crack in video form targeted explicitly at toddlers!?

Brought to you by the same people that thought cigarette candy was a brilliant idea.
I am extremely sceptical of this because I follow the research for tinnitus and last year a brilliant study came out showing that Tinnitus appears to be caused by the brainstem being overdriven to compensate for nerve damage. I suspect the brainstem being inflamed, which happens in a variety of conditions cause (Long Covid among many others), could likely do this without the nerve damage and also cause auditory sensitivity as a result.

People have been trying these movements and other treatments based on the fundamental premise of "brain retraining" and they have never shown and efficacy. Whereas a surgery on a damaged nerve has already been shown to completely eliminate the condition in a person and it looks very likely this will be the answer in the coming years.

This is correct! we wanted to show that you can use PixMo dataset and our training code to improve any open model, not just ours!
Did you seriously just use the word "isomorphic"? No wonder people believe AI is the next crypto.
For what use cases though? Interacting with websites, most apps and content consumption? Hand tracking beats a controller.

Controllers have their strength for games but most things that people do with their computers are better with hand tracking.

As cool as these are I’m not sure a lot of adults (at least in Denmark) is going to put these things on children. Facebook isn’t exactly a popular brand these days, and even though Instagram made it rather big with kids from the previous ages I think the next generations will be less likely to get on the Meta platforms. In part because what you’re asking about here has been revealed as something Facebook does.

It’s all based on anecdotal knowledge, but at least in my little bubble of the world nobody wants their children on Meta if they can help it. Which is a little bit hypocritical considering a lot of the same people don’t mind using Google, OpenAI, Microsoft products and so on. For some reason Facebook has taken the brunt of the dislike and I think a lot of my colleagues might actually feel better about their children being on TikTok than any sort of Meta product.

Not that you can really avoid being included on the Meta platform if these things start filming you in public.
Yeah - even without much context this blog post reads like an embarrassing mess. I hope the author thinks it was worth tarnishing the Wordpress brand so they could enjoy their king-for-a-day meltdown.

Interesting shot at the smartphone market but you need a big “wireless compute puck” in your pocket. Apple has the most powerful hardware at the moment that fits into a pocket and they’re also working on AR.

You claimed "OEB has off-loaded all the costs for building and decommissioning". I gave references that contradict that and asked for references to support your statement.

You have not provided any, and have changed the subject. Do you retract your claim?

Or are you sticking with your claim and moving the goalposts as well?

Three-point belt, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seat_belt

>The three-point belt was developed by Nils Bohlin, who had earlier also worked on ejection seats at Saab. Volvo then made the new seat belt design patent open in the interest of safety and made it available to other car manufacturers for free.

GPS, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Positioning_System

>After Korean Air Lines Flight 007, a Boeing 747 carrying 269 people, was shot down by a Soviet interceptor aircraft after straying in prohibited airspace because of navigational errors, in the vicinity of Sakhalin and Moneron Islands, President Ronald Reagan issued a directive making GPS freely available for civilian use, once it was sufficiently developed, as a common good. The first Block II satellite was launched on February 14, 1989, and the 24th satellite was launched in 1994. The GPS program cost at this point, not including the cost of the user equipment but including the costs of the satellite launches, has been estimated at US$5 billion (equivalent to $10 billion in 2023).

It doesn't, at least not under GDPR and not in that scenario. Contoso is a "[personal] data controller" and SAP is a "data processor". Contoso has a legal responsibility for all personal data and for all its vendors.

Contrary to a popular opinion, GDPR is fairly logical and close to common sense.

It gets murkier with "joint data processing" (a cursed cop-out for scenarios like Facebook acting both as a data processor for a website's ad tracking and as a data controller for its own ad tracking at the same time), but the scenario you described is not that.
I guess the better solution is to make the answers different for each site, and plausible (i.e. childhood street is an actual street name somewhere), but False. Then saving these in your password manager. Given there are typically a few questions in the mix, each answer not having a huge amount of entropy doesn't matter as much.
I could never ride with earbuds. AR? Totally different. It gives me more info while allowing me to keep my head up. Maps, way points, journey stats. Now, if they are watching movies, then that is simply insane.
You just described what literally anyone who says "AI Winter" means; the technology doesn't go away, companies still deploy it and evolve it, customers still pay for it, it just stops being so attractive to massive funding and we see fewer foundational breakthroughs.
For diplomats and organised criminals, probably insecure. For the rest of us, it's fine unless you're being targeted by someone with state-level resourcing

Show HN: A new, improved, and open-source clipboard history Chrome extension
Hey all!

I recently built a new, improved, and open-source chrome extension that allows you to access, track, and manage your clipboard's history! It's very useful for things like refactoring code, finding obscure commands, and backing up form data.

Existing solutions are either closed-source, slow, riddled with ads, or all of the above. My goal is to make this extension the most trustworthy, performant, and easy to use version! Your feedback would be very much appreciated, thanks!

Nick Clegg, the former Prime Minister of the UK?
Ok, but what we are probably debating is knowledge versus wisdom. Like, if I know 1+1 = 2, and I know the numbers 1 through 10, my knowledge is just 11, but my wisdom is infinite in the scope of integer addition. I can find any number, given enough time.

I'm pretty sure the AI guys are well aware of which types of models they want to produce. Models that can intake knowledge and intelligently manipulate it would mean general intelligence.

Models that can intake knowledge and only produce subsets of it's training data have a use but wouldn't be general intelligence.
Yep! The application of Change Sets is a similar moment to record the "why", alongside all the information about what was done. We have more to do here, along with adding things like RBAC that requires review before change sets can be applied based on ownership of resources, etc. But this is the plan!
I think that the main issue is that Furet is the last explicitly conservative historian, and while he was great, probably the greatest, and he made the entire field better, he was also not Anglo, and specialized in a very French topic. The issue is that while conservative historians exist (and thrive, Furetians are respected, at least here), they mostly do not focus on what anglo conservatives think they should be focused on. Also, as an academic field, history is way, way less political these days than people believe, and disagreements are mostly about specifics. Basically history is used more by politics than ever, while politics are less present in the field than ever.

Anyway, imho this is because a hunger exist among conservatives to also have intellectual representation, not just a political one. Sadly this make this Nazi quite rich, but imho a lot of people following him don't agree with his overall politics (I hope).
The government post Great Depression and New Deal was a much stronger regulator as well. They would regularly go after scammers and schemes. That is far less true these days since "regulation" is now a swear word to many people.

Space-time equivalence is pretty key to the functioning of the Global Positioning System, and it comes from special relativity. It shows up well before black hole gravitational conditions.
This seems kinda basic. Of course you need a way to reproduce an issue. But is that all you got? The talking down to juniors at the end, as if he laid out some huge insights, is also slightly hilarious.

If only they’d release the advanced voice thing as an API. Their TTS is already pretty good, but ai wouldn’t say no to an improvement.
I mean they are prototypes, not available for purchase. Presumably they can clean up the aesthetics and provide privacy guarantees around it when it's actually for sale.

It's just to show what's possible, and to presumably jump the gun on their competitors
Apple selling a device that causes privacy issues (a camera always in your face as a non-user)..seems like a stretch.

Facebook seems better aligned in that regards.

Hey HN,

I’ve recently launched a service called Zeld, which helps companies find perfect candidates while minimizing the time they spend on hiring. The idea came from seeing how much time and effort companies waste on vetting candidates who aren't a good fit. With Zeld, I handle the search, screening, and present only the most suitable candidates, leaving you with just a final conversation to assess culture fit.

Here’s why I think it might be different:

No upfront costs: You don’t pay until you’re happy with the hires.
Time-saving: I handle all the heavy lifting in identifying strong candidates so that companies only need to spend time on the final round interviews.
Tailored process: Every search is personalized based on the unique needs of the team.

I’m still refining the service and would love feedback from this community. If anyone has insights on streamlining hiring processes or improving candidate selection, I’d really appreciate it!

Feel free to check out the service or ask me any questions. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
He brags it's over 100k lines of code. That's insane for a personal blog, unless maybe you're using a huge framework or doing some VERY cool demos in there.
Isn’t that the idea though? To do something technical? I don’t know, maybe thousands of gifted kids are thriving at making fun things in Roblox Studio. They get through the grind because it’s where the friends are. Whereas a kid getting excited about Twine? Seems really lame, which is guaranteed to make a gifted kid only performatively interested.
It's worded that way as if one side of the interview knows something, it can easily leak to the other side intentionally or accidentally.
I am not. AVP's kinematic hand tracking is horrid compared with devices with highly sensitive accelerometers.
>I didn't misunderstand or misrepresent anything. Your argument, and The Innocence Project's, seems to be that a lack of physical evidence tying the accused to the crime scene constitutes reasonable doubt. I disagree, and so did the jury.

Wrong. The point isn't that the mere absence of physical evidence tying the accused to the crime scene inherently constitutes reasonable doubt. Rather, the argument is that the presence of substantial forensic evidence at the crime scene that explicitly does not match the accused introduces significant reasonable doubt.

In Marcellus Williams' case, the key issue is that the forensic evidence collected: including DNA, fingerprints, and other traces, clearly does not match him. This is NOT merely an absence of evidence but a _direct contradiction of the hypothesis_ that he was present at the crime scene. This kind of conflicting evidence challenges the prosecution's narrative and thereby substantiates the reasonable doubt about Williams' guilt.

The role of the jury is to interpret evidence and decide whether it meets the standard of 'beyond a reasonable doubt.' However, when forensic evidence actively contradicts key aspects of the prosecution's case, it is not just a minor detail but a fundamental flaw in the argument for guilt. This isn't about creating arbitrary thresholds but about ensuring that convictions are based on clear and convincing evidence that aligns with all the facts, not just those that fit the prosecution's narrative.

>Where in criminal law does it say "if there's no clear forensic data then you can't convict someone?" You just made that up!

At no point did I claim that a lack of forensic evidence automatically prevents a conviction. What I have consistently highlighted is that when forensic evidence actively contradicts the prosecution’s case, such as not matching the accused, it significantly fuels reasonable doubt.

>And the justice system is subjective. It's not a formally specified algorithm that decides guilt or innocence. It's a jury deciding a fuzzy boundary ("reasonable doubt").

While it's true that the justice system involves human judgment and isn't a formally specified algorithm, this doesn’t mean that the standards for determining guilt should be vague or arbitrarily interpreted. The concept of "reasonable doubt" is determined by a jury, but it's guided by very specific legal standards and precedents that ensure fairness and consistency across cases. Describing reasonable doubt as a "fuzzy boundary" is reductionist and misrepresents the rigorous process by which evidence is evaluated. Jurors are instructed with detailed criteria on how to weigh evidence and what "beyond a reasonable doubt" entails. These instructions are designed to minimize subjectivity as much as possible.
Subjective preferences aside…

It has almost as many gestures as the trackpad or iPhone though. More gestures can be handled app side.

There’s also direct touch of surfaces too.

Oh lament! for what, not just the future, but the present, could have been.

Edited to add: But! Even as I have just written that and stand by it, I just don't know if humanity could have done it any other way. One must sell their soul to 'the green', even just a little, to have the time and space for the kind of creativity that will create a better future. Will we forever have to wade, neck-deep, through trash to find each tiny piece of the puzzle that, when enough pieces are put together, forms at least a picture of a brighter future?
Thanks for the correction; you're right.

For a counter example of what open and transparent communincation from a C-level tech person could look like, have a read of what the SpaCy founder blogged about a few months ago:

https://honnibal.dev/blog/back-to-our-roots
> This thread is full of people who are anti-death penalty

Who even argues in favor of it? What studies shows that the death penalty is effective? Who has done cost benefit analysis for civic life to have the government executing people generally speaking? So many truthy arguments on behalf of the death penalty.
I would find it hard to believe this isn't the critical factor in her departure. Surprising that the linked thread isn't getting any traction. Or not?
But it makes perfect sense to drop out and enjoy last couple years of pre-AGI bliss.

Advances in AI even without AGI will lead to unemployment, recession, collapse of our economic structure, and then our social structure. Whatever is on the other side is not pretty.

If you are on the forefront, know it’s coming imminently, and made your money, it makes perfect sense to leave and enjoy money and leisures money allows while money still worth something.
I applaud the Innocence Project for taking this case, but honestly, Missouri? What did they expect? This is the same governor that tried to prosecute a newspaper reporter after they uncovered social security numbers in the HTML code from a state-run website. Then, when the governor was informed about how stupid his claim was, he doubled-down, insisting he would seek prosecution.

Based Slang Meaning: Understanding Modern Internet Lingo
Some users of the internet, especially those who are not familiar with the most recent online lingo, might find it difficult to understand when the term “based” pops up in comments, posts, or messages. This confusion, thus, may result in misunderstandings or a sense of being disconnected with modern communication.
When using meta.ai, its able to generate images as well as understand them. Has this also been open sourced or just a GPT4o style ability to see images?
In most cases, yes. But even when it's not, I'd be hard pressed to justify 10X the size while having worse fps, colors, battery life, etc.
I'm not colourblind, but found the colours weren't useful at all (compared to 2048). They're just too similar and you need to rely on the numbers, which takes more thinking
Way more informative and interesting than the press release.
