Holy shit. Ugly people get laid all the time. They also have long term relationships and get married and make ugly children. Your "genetic Incel" shit is ridiculous.

Good looking people might have social interactions set to easy mode by it's simply stupid to say just because you didn't hit the genetic lottery means no one will ever get close to you.

You know a better determinant of good social interactions? Confidence. If you carry yourself well and don't act like a toxic man-o-sphere dipshit people won't avoid you. You can be ugly as sin but have a good personality and get laid.

Far too many young people fall prey to influencers and think they're just doomed to loneliness. Then they adopt the stupidest most toxic personality which only creates a self-fulfilling prophesy.

Be clean, don't slouch, smile, and tell some funny light jokes. People like that. No one gives a shit about bone structure. Humans aren't robots responding automatically to genetic programming.
I'd say the "missing the point" thing is that you're complaining about how hard socialization in society is now, but the solution for our own loneliness is in ourselves. We don't need to fix others or society to fix the problem we see every day.

As in - When you, the digital-first-lonely-guy, put away your phone and turn to the obviously-busy guy on his phone with earbuds in and doing super important socialdoomscroll work and you say "Hey, cool shoes!" suddenly it's not a problem anymore.

Instantly.

And it's never not been that way.

There's going to be a demand for Artisanal/Organic/Hallucination-free programmers in the future, much like there's a demand for COBOL programmers now, but bigger.
But that's the thing: The primary use cases for something like this are the opposite of crowded urban areas, where infrastructure-based networking makes a lot more sense.

I'm not trying to save on data fees; I'd just love to do low-bandwidth peer to peer messaging with people nearby without any network around.

What if, for example, low-frequency 5G bands were available to such P2P applications as a secondary user, similarly to 5G WiFi and weather radars? If there's a network there, use that; if there isn't, do P2P!
No. But what you want does exist to a certain extent.

DX tries to be "rust only" but basically gives you a macro to write HTML-like components, which are obviously just a shim between layers and the abstraction is leaky. You don't get much from that.

You probably want egui.rs

Most of the people I know who talk about LOTR movies are women who watched them once, but mainly rewatch the making of parts, because they don't care about the story as much as they care about seeing a group of dirty-looking men be friends with each other in ways that sort of look homoerotic but aren't explicitly.

Should be familiar if you know any anime fangirls.

It seems like even Android being "open" these days is an incomplete story, as it's almost more like a barebones Linux kernel build with some bare UI and libraries now, rather than a mobile OS distribution with standard apps that vendors can build on.

You seemingly have to do everything yourself, which begs the question why not just go full blown Linux distribution, and throw on some sort of Android app emulation?
That would assume that it was possible to rank them, which I made no statement about.

There is a recent rumor that they have been working with Sony to bring the PSVR 2 controllers to work on visionOS.

Given Apple has not focused on gaming I think the decision they made was a good one too. You shouldn’t NEED special controllers to use the device like early VR headsets.

However there are definitely things that would work better with controllers. Not just gaming but things where you need very fine input or having multiple buttons to switch modes or something would be good.

So I hope the rumor turns out to be true.
The Pertwee episode "Inferno" was the one that really frightened me as a child.

This might be a dumb thought, but the naming of this model naturally suggests we have a Pro model coming out soon. Similar to Claude 3.5 Sonnet, where they never mentioned the Opus model afterward, does anyone think this is all we will see from Google in terms of the 2.0 model family? Does anyone think there will be some 2.0 Pro model that will blow this out of the water? The naming makes it seem so.
Haha fair enough :D
If any Android interoperability happens, I doubt it will be because Google is encouraging or allowing it.

They’ve refused to officially support Play Store apps on Meta HW, intentionally released the most barebones versions of their products on Meta platforms, etc.

They don’t seem willing to play nice and now that they have their own platform to push, I can’t imagine that would change for the better. But would love to see it.

"Clearly" is relative. If all these providers are having problems with the spec... what does that tell you?
I wonder how society is going to adapt to everyone literally having a camera pointed at them all the time by the people they interact with.

I wonder if VR cameras can be blinded by IR emitters like we used to do to digital video cameras in movie theaters. My IR LED-studded headband won't look any stranger than someone walking around in public with a VisionPro strapped to their head.
It's an incasualator. It causes the response to read as more casual/conversational, and less pedantic. But I guess you wouldn't know anything about that ;-P
None of those are quite like this, which is a shame. Unfortunately, I don't have time to get nerd sniped right now.
At some point Scribblenauts 3D is going to be one hell of a game.
So, for the VR stuff it's unclear, though I think everyone is underrating just how good the social aspect is - being able to have a "face to face" conversation with your friend who lives across the country is incredible (it's nothing like a video call, the 3rd dimension really tricks your brain)

However, sticking to the XR stuff, it helps if you think of it not as a new class of device (though it is) but as a new class of screen.

Think of it as the monitor version of what smartwatches are for cell phones. Sure, smartwatches don't let you do anything new, but they're extremely popular because they let you interact with your personal all-device without taking it out of your pocket- at the cost of being on a tiny screen. XR devices expand on that, making the whole world your screen, letting you spawn as many 4k monitors as you want or tiny displays wherever.

They have a few added features, like overlays on things you see, but just like the health stuff on smart watches, that's an added feature that can grow the market and help a person justify it, not the core of the product.
Judging by the content this is probably for people interested in moving into investment banking.

The explanation someone gave me years ago was that midwesterners can speak to northerners and southerners without needing a translator, and the cost of labor in rural Nebraska and Kansas (which also had a ton of call centers at the time) is low.
I disagree. I think what you're saying are "a lot of exceptions" are primarily going to be in what are historically referred to as "revenue sports" in the US -- football & basketball -- and also in individual sports where personal marketing is key to financial success (e.g. sponsorships).

I don't see it as unexpected for there to be big egos and boisterous personalities in sports where individuals are hugely rewarded for personal success. From an athlete's point of view, creating a commercial persona is almost as important as performing at their best on the field/track/bike/pool/course/etc.

I was a little disappointed that they didn't show any true video understanding to differentiate between the model being capable of taking photos when instructed or actually having a frame-by-frame understanding of what's happening.

I disagree completely. In the eyes of some modern fans, the popularity of engines and eval bars has reduced chess to an intellectual and computational exercise. It's too easy to say "bad moves" and "blunder" when Stockfish is giving you all the answers!

In reality, chess is a fighting contest between two flesh-and-blood humans. And that's what we see throughout this exciting match, and in this final game.

Gukesh won because of his greater fighting spirit throughout the match, which is as it should be. (Similar to how Ding played the daring move ...Rg6 in the final game of his match against Nepo.)
You don't have to make a statement about ranking them when you said "the last thing you'd want". Figure of speech or not. It seems telling to the reader when discussing XR to leave them out, that's all. You could have just clarified and called it a day.

The fact that we're being so pedantic now instead of discussing our actual opinion is making me more certain that your purpose was not to have a discussion so I'll shutup now.
TEX Shinobi - I have many of these and they are excellent:

Astill works on most OS, software is extremely slick, has many servers, at my time even Mainland china IPs were possible. Works reliable in China, is often NOT detected as a VPN (geo-blocking, Banks, captchas). They even offer fixed IP addresses, if desired. If you ask why would you have a fixed ip address and if this does not contradict the idea of a VPN you may have little international experience and don't understand the different applications of a VPN. Hey, there may be people that give a f... about the privacy it offers because they have totally different applications.

If you want a Mercedes of VPNs, likely Astrill is the choice. If privacy is your main concern, there are many options. Dont mistake privacy for anonymity. If in doubt, pay with Bitcoin and use TOR to connect to your VPN.

For my current application, AirVPN is more than enough. Two years: are 79 €, if they have a special, it is 49 euro. If you are cost sensitive, Mullvad is double the price already, but at least only less than half of the Astrill price.
Pentagon announces new AI office as it looks to deploy autonomous weapons
This article is about compute where a lot of users are considering near 24/7 usage in some way or another so would be very helpful to have.

Heavy gaming users would probably hit the cost vs usage overlap of the extra power draw as well.

For other users Idle vs idle power draw is something and the intel cards have been very bad with this too so it would be nice to state it.

Lastly I use it as a proxy for architecture head room which is just something I like to get a feel for. I suspect Intel would need a completely new architecture to get into datacenters and this is good to know.
Of course in the 70s there were (to us today) weird and wonderful devices popping up with programming languages of their own. I used a few. Could I name theirvlanguage, no. They are probably long gone.

So gone, but not very popular!

I suspect we agree, but to try to steelman here there is a signficant and increasing need for hardware to support on-device AI, and anytime you're talking hardware there has to be a baseline level of support in the OS.

My guess though is that they are doing it because it's easier to just move AI stuff to the OS than have to do the hard work of modularizing and isolating, defining APIs and such. Also worth remembering that many of the Android decision makers don't seem to actually like Android and want to make it more like their iPhones. Android seems determined to erase (or bury to the point of impracticality) all the things that I originally loved about it. It's getting more and more closed and "the user is a security threat" with every release. I would guess that somebody is loving the amount of power and control that they can gain by doing it this way, and as long as the people continue to reward behavior like that we're going to get more of it. The iPhone being a textbook example.
Yawn. This banal criticism has been leveled against chess and really the pursuit of any game since the dawn of recreational activities.

YouTube is full of ads for VPN services whose point is to let you get around streaming geofencing.

(They say it's for security but they have nearly no security benefit.)
Not really – that's the point, engines, for all their awesomeness, just do not know how to assess the likelihood of "human" mistakes.
Hmm. Can I configure my smartphone to block all calls from Nebraska?
> For example, on x86, compilers drop all explicit store fences because they're "unnecessary" on the hardware

I mean specifically for new programs that are written with weaker memory models in mind. So you'd have to enable an -fNOTSO flag on your compiler that emits all the fences that would otherwise be skipped.

Looking at what I can find about nontemporal stores, they sound like they already have a weird kind of release semantics on x86, even though their intent was to avoid cache thrashing, not so much to allow greater memory reordering. Are these actually used in compilers?

Thank you for this. I feel like a lot of the arguments I get into are because someone is taking a measurement that’s more precise then the tool their using allows for. Their too busy trying to win the argument to see I’m trying to work with them to build a tool precise enough to take measurement we both want.

Yeah, and it is not mentioned in the post title. It's like JS is considered the default programming language.
I wonder if this is happening: "Hey US military drone manufacturers! You are allowed to test your drones at night. Don't say anything publicly. Start RIGHT after the Nov 2025 election. STOP right when Trump gets in office. Extra points if you put big lights on them."

Let's keep the citizens starting at the night sky and scratching their head.

It happened right after election. If they few in the day time, it would be easy to find out they are military test drones. The citizens wouldn't be as distracted.
I'm not arguing that these are or aren't anything interesting, but low, relative to airplanes is still pretty far for cell phone cameras, especially in the dark.
I see that they have added many of the visionos window / volumetric design language which is good if you want to target both devices especially if you have a Unity project.

I actually expected visionos 2 to have at least some of the AI features that AndroidXR has or even what was launched with Apple Intelligence. But, looking at both releases of XR applications it is a huge buy in with developers. I've been trying to learn visionos and it is difficult. If I want to develop with Android XR you always have to worry about the possibility that they will stop supporting the project if the current devices don't do as well and also Google tried to do XR already.

I really do like that there is competition in the space. What is even better is that AndroidXR does have familiar window management so users don't have to learn things twice. I want to have this be successful.
Well, you did claim that the problem could be worked out with simply high school math. It would certainly be 'interesting' if such problems could not be answered by automated means.

(For example, I think many mathematicians would find the IMO problems interesting, even though the statements are specifically chosen to be understandable to high-school students.) The problem of how to write an automated procedure that might answer problems similar to the one you stated, and what kinds of "hints" might then be needed to make the procedure work for any given instance of the problem, is also interesting for similar reasons.

It has essentially nothing to do with AI, they seem to have thrown that in for bonus PR points. Sure, ML is plenty involved behind the scenes for both actual use cases (AR and VR) but it's not relevant and not what people think of when they read AI.

Reading the dev blog or the actual documentation was more informative to me:

> Dude, if you have "extremely large datasets" then why are you acting like your advice is generally applicable

I'm not. At least that wasn't my intention. My reply was in the context of "bigger and more important" companies, which are also more likely to have extremely large datasets, and where taking long, or even short periods of downtime for a database migration is unacceptable.

> migrations won't be faster when you use a tool like this, they will be slower

Sure, but they can be run without taking downtime.

> So maybe you are fine with migrations taking weeks and weeks to complete, but in that case how many migrations are you running that your DBA's are overwhelmed by the volume of migrations to approve? Which one is true?

Both can be true. Most migrations will take a lot less time, maybe minutes, maybe hours, sometimes days. Migrations that take weeks are rare, but they do happen. But, having a migration take several hours with no downtime can often be preferable to taking a few minutes of downtime, even if you are ok with having scheduled downtime, because it will unblock work dependent on the new schema sooner. Of course, it depends on your situation. If schema changes are rare, you probably don't need to worry about something like this. If your tables are small enough that schema changes can be done quickly with minimal or no downtime, then you probably don't need this. But there are cases where tools like this fill a need.
To be fair, a lot of the Vision Pro is a copy of all the AR/VR things that came before it. Even the eye tracking and gesture tracking is/was not new by any extent when Apple implemented it. That's kind of how these things work (whether it should or not is a different discussion). There's very little actual innovation because innovation is risky, and the bigger the company the less real appetite there is for risk because that's how executives get fired. The direction flows down from there. Most engineers at these companies who have good ideas and really want to innovate have to (and often want to) leave and do their own startup. These big companies are quite happy to let the startups do the innovating and take all the risk, and then just buying them out or ripping them off once there's a demonstration that there's a market. With increased regulatory scrutiny, the latter seems to be getting more common, but that's also a different discussion.
