The face scan is required because they 3D print a gasket tailored exactly to your face, that's another part of how they managed to make it so compact.
>He's not that delusional.

I have no idea whether he is or not. However I suspect it is very hard to remain grounded when you have so much wealth. Every interaction with the outside world is going to be clouded by it. People will be subservient in a way that us peons don't experience when we dine in McDonalds or shop in Walmart.
That they have a skelatal reconstruction of a persons face with similarities to the sculptue from the same site, it then could pehaps also be the first evidence for a comisioned work, and any evidence for industry and common curency would support that.....the first sale
There are days I wish I never worked in tech and could do stuff like that as a time wasting hobby. At some point in the past that kind of stuff was fun for me.

As it is, the idea of messing with things like self hosting or homelabs outside of work makes me feel physically ill.
I was briefly involved in a GitHub discussion that happened before the fork but I think I got the reason why. People (well, me in that case) were asking for more fine grained options like per project instructions, and the Cline author's response was basically "not interested in the added complexity but feel free to fork". So somebody did.

Although I think Cline did eventually add some of the requested options.
Are you running a production system on it? One that makes money and loses money when down?

RHEL (IBM) is doing well, why can't they provide free hosting and at the same time show off their cloud products ?

RHEL benefits from freedesktop and X, and as a show of good faith they could support Alpine too.

But as we all know, RHEL/IBM only wants to take free labor and not really give back these days :(

G'day! ex-Atlassian here with experience leading a data warehouse team, building internals tools for SREs, and software development within Jira Cloud around GDPR and high db workloads. I've worked on a variety of interesting projects for different companies, and I'm now seeking new opportunities in emerging areas of MLOps or distributed systems. Yay!
South Africa's poor life expectancy is more a function of poverty, violence, and HIV, than anything to do with their healthcare system.
> hours of video "evidence" widely and easily available.

Then you should easily be able to link to one. Hand-wavy accusations are irrefutable, and it is therefore irresponsible to make them. Once a specific case can be examined, it can be properly debunked and/or debated. But a vague accusation with the source of “everybody knows it” is worthless. Or in other words: Links or it didn’t happen.
It does, in a way. In big orgs, you don't control what happens outside of you. What you can control is how you position yourself in the face of new challenges. This new re-org gives you a new challenge with new stack, new people, maybe overlapping expertise. It is now on you to rise up to that and show yourself as a corp warrior. You may as well fail and find out that you will be happier to do your own thing.

I feel like it's not a question if you can, but if you should.

Are you actually smart if you spend any significant amount of time thinking through things in order to be rational?

I have a good friend that is by all reasonable metrics incredibly smart. Graduated high school and college at the same time at age 16. Doctorate at 22. Professor at a top university for several years. But lives in absolute squalor and spends his time and brain power on rational thinking and philosophy to understand life.

But, it is life, and if you don't experience it how can you understand it, and if you do understand it, what is gained?

His life is the inside of his house and a daily trip to Dollar general to buy mountain dew, cigarettes and frozen burritos.
My impression is that there are a lot of geeks out there who want the Star Trek holodeck, and they see VR and generative AI as a way to get there. But they ignore all the episodes that explored the ways such a technology could be harmful, socially and psychologically and physically.

Fast forward to the year 2025. We have ultra-wide monitors that cover our entire field of view for less than $800, don't need to wear bulky headset, and can perfectly maintain our situational awareness without the need for 1 TFLOP of compute and 8 tracking cameras.
My understanding is that typically a TLS library provides a socket interface for the application to write() to, which can be intercepted by an eBPF program.
If you are “sure” I expect 100% correctness.
> if it doesn't do what he wants him to do, it sucks

Well... yeah? The computer is a tool. If my tool doesn't do what I want it to do, or, by extension, it does things I didn't ask for or need, then it does suck. If my tool suddenly told me that my toolbox needs another, arbitrary tool Y that I don't need (in this case, TPM), then I will look for another brand.

The fact that "most users" are ignorant doesn't mean that the users who aren't ignorant should be punished. "Most users" are capable of doing the things you listed perfectly fine on other operating systems, like macOS or the various user-friendly Linux distributions, without being treated with hostility by the OS. The argument "it does the job" doesn't really hold water - the entire IT support industry is built on Windows not doing the job when the user doesn't know "why it works" as you put it.

>I'll believe that many Christians do not see Trump as savior, though.

As a Christian that is certainly concerned about Christians supporting and voting for Trump, sadly I think many do (see him as a Savior and one who can do no wrong) but don't realize it. They excuse excuse excuse. What I see happening is history repeating itself. The Isrealites pleaded for a strong man king like the other countries even though God said they didn't need one as long as they lived by "following true Christian values". They still wanted one so God let them have one. Saul, being an insecure man, began oppressing them shortly after getting the throne.
you are assuming he isn't paying much but think you assumed that there are many people who can do the job that are unemployed when the reality is that most or almost all are either overworked due to under staffing and paid well or retired and it would be difficult to just pay those already working more to just bring them because they are working on an actual US Navy ship and can't be bothered.
Banks actually do that though. Credit cards have massive risk analysis engines behind them, and the limits are tied to your creditworthyness. So maybe it's not a good analogy.
Overturning Chevron was specifically a giant step INTO techno-feudalism, since it means the oligarchs can only be reigned in if Congress, full of (at best generalist) career politicians, understand a technical or regulatory problem deeply enough to specifically craft legislation that literally gets it right on its own.

Chevron never was the problem.
That goes without saying. But the Soviets chose to abandon it. Brutality from the enemy wouldn't be that surprising, betrayal by your own government is.

The article mentions it below even:

> The betrayal came from the top. Stalin, neglecting the relevant intelligence and then focusing on Moscow, all but abandoned Leningrad, while his apparatchiks appeared at public baths milky and fat in their privilege. The man in charge of the city, Andrei Zhdanov, enjoyed butter on his bread and lashings of caviar while those in his care ate their pets, sometimes their neighbours, and fashioned tagliatelle out of slow-boiled strips of leather. Nor did the Soviets acknowledge the extent of the suffering.

From Wikipedia: Graham received a Bachelor of Arts with a major in philosophy from Cornell University in 1986. He then received a Master of Science in 1988, and a Doctor of Philosophy in 1990, both in computer science from Harvard University. Graham has also studied fine arts and painting at the Rhode Island School of Design and at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence.

Note that most people can't even afford to go to one university, let alone four. That definitely seems like someone who had a safety net that allowed him to focus on acquiring wealth, instead of acquiring shelter or food.
I prefer it to work on fairly narrowly scoped atomic features, and for those my prompts are quite minimal, or I do a short back and forth in "plan" mode until I'm happy with the plan.

For more complex features I do spec out the prompt in more detail.

The model can output at most 4k tokens I believe, though I think Cline will just run inference in multiple steps, so that shouldn't be a limitation that matters (only time/cost wise).

The architect mode in aider is basically a one step planning pass.

RA.Aid goes way beyond this. It will run fuzzy find, ripgrep, directory listings, web search via, ask the expert (reasoning models), multiple task planning, execution of shell commands and unit tests, etc.

It essentially follows a research, planning, and implementation cycle much like a human SWE would.
As the cost of going from 0 to 1 goes to 0 the incentives flip. You'll have way more small companies that raise little or no money from VCs and have no incentives to juice head count to pump the valuation.

I have a lot of friends who started similar companies recently, who are making millions in revenue with 2-8 people and deliberately plan to never grow head count past around 10 people.

We'll have way more teams like midjourney, early whatsapp / instagram and 37signals.
>My biggest concern here is some sort of rating system, not so much for products but merchants.

Great idea! We do have a concept of the "Agora Score" for products, to analyze more than just the customer reviews. We'll come up with something similar for merchants to help API customers know which merchants to prioritize.

>If you really want to be innovative try adding brick and mortar grocery stores too.

Absolutely. Just don't know how to efficiently crawl and recrawl their products, without partnering with them directly. Maybe plugging into something like the Instacart API to index local products.
As a proclaimed Christian, I agree. Never have I ever voted for fewer Republicans than in the last election.

This is pretty obscure, but I've found the more niche, the more I enjoy a blog. [0] It's a series of posts on a blog called Taskerland (written by Moreau Vazh) that do some literary analysis on classic works of horror, specifically, the works of Thomas Ligotti and H.P. Lovecraft.

If you enjoy short form horror stories, and want to read someone's interpretation of the themes and background of some horror with substantial literary merit, it might be worth a shot! It actually encouraged me to start my own blog, doing something similar—though I'm still in the early stages of writing it.

Apple in China: Apple from near-bankruptcy to largest company
It got better recently if you've seen the fall out from the trip to the Antartic; the flerfs completely turned on their top-tier streamers when they observed that the sun does in fact stay in the sky 24hrs a day: green screen, video walls, planted gov agents, sound stages, claims of "see i always said they'd actually be a shill"

Very funny watching flerfs realize other flerfs arent actually willing to look at real evidence without making it a conspiracy.

I am a software engineer with over 5 years of experience building web applications. Currently a system architect IT Volunteer with Crisis UK (homelessness charity) and Technical Lead at Toontown: Corporate Clash (volunteer-run revival of the Disney MMO Toontown Online).

I enjoy being "the glue" to IT projects, working across disciplines to ensure they get delivered on time, meet budget and satisfy users. I have created projects from scratch, and have dived into complex codebases and modernised them. I prefer full-stack development on the web but can also specialise into backend / frontend and other disciplines as needed.

Looking for my next role (contract or employment) at €70k+ (can trade less money with less hours). I am a permanent resident in Berlin, DE but can accept contracts / employment worldwide.
> You're essentially reproducing the nazi propaganda.

And you're essentially reproducing Soviet propaganda. Over the years they covered it up extensively. If you read the article it mentions but doesn't go into details:

"The betrayal came from the top. Stalin, neglecting the relevant intelligence and then focusing on Moscow, all but abandoned Leningrad, while his apparatchiks appeared at public baths milky and fat in their privilege. The man in charge of the city, Andrei Zhdanov, enjoyed butter on his bread and lashings of caviar while those in his care ate their pets, sometimes their neighbours, and fashioned tagliatelle out of slow-boiled strips of leather."

Or just publish on zenodo, without all that fuss. The reasons the ArXiv gives may be good from their point of view, but if you don’t care too much about that but have your own good reasons for not wanting to publish your source, then zenodo is a great and in many respects superior alternative, no questions asked.

That may be true if you routinely use a text mode web browser and get all your content from RSS feeds, I've certainly moved more in that direction to avoid the sensory overload of the modern web.

I still find Gemini great for reading long-form content though, I appreciate Gemtext is the important factor in this and if web browsers would render it over HTTPS then great, but I'm not aware of any that do.

I also like to use Gemini on vintage hardware that really struggle on the modern web, some of that hardware isn't even that old anymore, low-end devices from just 10 years ago with 2-4GB RAM will have a hard time nowadays.
FWIW, with today's social media environment...I'm ACTIVELY managing the ways I'm interrupted. Having that in front of my field of view is a non starter.

I'm an early adopter, but even at that, I don't use VR a whole lot over the course of a month. It's a tech that people (nerds) really want to take off and it just hasn't. I'm not sure it will...it could be replaced with other equivalent technologies that aren't strapped to your face.
> If you are protected from facing competition, then you don’t need to actually compete.

You mean like all the (e.g.) garment and other factories competed against foreign manufacturers… and the companies decided to close up shop and move overseas?

The main garments that are still made in the US are those for the military due to domestic production regulations in procurement rules.
I see the parent commenters point as being more of the “can’t see the forest for the trees” type of uncertain requirements.

To go into more detail, it is the type of uncertainty about whether you are actually solving the right problem or if it really is a problem. While what you suggest does help ferret this out, what you are suggesting can also prolong the process of getting the code in front of a real end user to see if they use or adopt it the way you are expecting. It allows you to quickly throw away ALL the code and get to solving the right problem.

Another way to put it, the more the problem space is unknown, the faster you should get the code in front of someone and delay the edge-case discoveries.

VR has a long way to go on the technical side, but true blacks and latency are both basically solved. Vision Pros have a motion to photon latency of ~12ms, which is unnoticeable, and miniLED and OLED allow for true blacks in plenty of headsets. Depth-of-field hasn't been solved yet, but it is doable. Processing power and battery are limitations, but not critically so.

IMO, none of those things are major factors compared to how insanely clunky current VR headsets are. That's where the real fundamental issues show up-these headsets need to lose ~90% of their weight and size before they'll catch on.

My tinfoil hat seeing Trump Admin wrecking havoc in the American continent is that they (or Trump specifically) believed that contesting American hegemony in Pacific within 1st island chain or even 2nd island chain is herculean task and it will be harder and harder as time goes due to the tyranny of distance and PLA modernization . So now the policy is American redoubt where US assert unanimous influence in the American continent while slowly recognize other great power's sphere of influence. Even hawkish Rubio already wrote about multipolarity.

The difficult bit for the drone is probably spotting the target.

There doesn't seem to be a great interest in having (small) drones shoot things yet, all the current uses seem to be:

- drone itself is the munition

- drone is the spotter for other ground based artillery

- drone dropping unguided munitions (e.g. grenades)

"Large" drones (aircraft rather than quadcopter) seem to follow the same rules as manned aircraft and engage with guided or unguided munitions of their own. If the drone is cheap enough then "drone as munition" seems likely to win.
Somehow you have to get the drones and missiles around. Or are cargo planes a thing? In age of missiles and drones...

I think it looks like those would need quite extreme ranges. Well intercontinental ballistic missiles are a real solution.
Yes, this report could actually mean for example that Apple is focusing on an alternative glasses product that doesn't require so much computation power.

If the path of the previous project led them to a product that would have to be connected to a Mac to work, that seems like a dead-end that wouldn't make a compelling consumer product in the near future.

You could write a similar headline about "Apple cancels iPod Phone Project" back in 2005 or whenever they made the decision to go with the Darwin/touchscreen phone instead of the iPod-based alternative.
