>Using it outside of its intended distance will cause eye strain since your eyes won't be able to focus properly.

Mine are more useful that I anticipated when I'm not using them for work. I would advise against anybody driving with the wrong pair of glasses, but I can see significantly better with my occupational lenses than without. I would not trust them at night, but during the day I can see well enough I am not concerned about my driving. I don't intend to drive with them, but there has been the occasion here or there when I had to run somewhere quickly and forgot to swap my glasses.

It also helps that mine are progressives, so the very very top part of the lens is my "regular" prescription. I can use that to focus on something at a distance if necessary.

>They would be a separate prescription / lens type (as in not progressive I think) compared to daily use glasses. I do have to swap to my daily use when not using my computer glasses outside of sitting and looking at a monitor.

Like I mentioned above, mine are both occupational and progressive. I'd like to try non-progressive occupational lenses to see if I like them better, but I'm not convinced it would be worth the money.
You have a very simplistic understanding of what is voluntary and what is involuntary, and taking such an understanding as the basis of your moral and political thinking can only lead to utter confusion.

Unsure if this will work for your case, but I am _very_ happy with my implanted contact lenses. They sit behind my iris and optically function as normal contact lenses. No hassle, just a straight up body upgrade.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraocular_lens

I was very surprised that this is not a more common thing to hear about amongst people with bad eyesight. Laser correction sucks in comparison, with more risks of complications, generally worse vision outcomes, longer recovery, etc. The lens implantation process is even undoable and as safe as cataract surgery which has been done since the 1970s.

It is frightening how extremely politicized and wasteful all the science management has become in a shockingly short amount of time.

The US is setting their entire science infrastructure on fire, leaving a massive opening for Europe, the UK, and especially China to take over. And the US does not consider any of those countries allies.

It's baffling to imagine why this is happening unless those in control are actually actively working on foreign orders to weaken the US and its future.

I know about ross-tech, etc. and the "official" reason for it (I've been an enthusiast for 35 years). It's my wife's car who will not stand for any mods (she doesn't even shift into sport mode) so it would be wasted $$.

Why can other cars get away without this specific charging knowledge? Is it because , in true VW fashion, they specced the minimally-acceptable battery size and need to have optimized charging to mitigate the under-sized battery? Just like VW has under-specced wiring for decades.. Seems pretty suspect..
> Abstraction vs. magic: Is this just shifting complexity from JS to HTML? Frameworks already abstract state—how does this coexist?

The same way React or other frameworks can hook into things like CSS animations. If CSS animations didn't exist, the JS framework would have to write all the code themselves. With them existing, they can just set the properties and have it work.

Even if you're writing a basic menu popup directly in React, having these properties to use directly in your JSX means less code and less room for error.

Then if you need to do something special, you may need to do it by hand and not use these properties, just like if you needed a special animation you might have to do it without using the CSS animation properties.

It's pretty complicated especially since it's been changing significantly since 2022 and even 2014 but most Ukranians understand and speak russian and a large minority have or had it as a primary language. People also spoke both. It's not a straight west to east thing. Many of the cities especially not not only in the south and east were primarily russian speaking while the West and less urban areas were mostly Ukranian.
Not to mention Surzhyk (mixed Ukrainan/Russian speech) or other smaller languages spoken in Ukraine.

One good example is President Zelenskyy and Kvartal 95 (the comedy troupe/media company he and his friends formed) most of their shows and skits until recently were in russian. Their use of russian was not just because for export to russia or other russian speakers outside of Ukraine/Russia, it was not rare to make media aimed at a primarily Ukranian audience in russian.

You keep switching back and forth between short and long time periods, as if the rapid steady growth of the past couple years is how it's gone for decades. This is not the case - we're currently in a short* period of rapid growth after a decade or so of stagnation. That's what "erratic" means, it has not been steady - over the past several decades there have been several times where we've seen rapid growth for a short period, then it hits a wall and we see very little or no growth until the next breakthrough.

* Granted we don't know for sure it'll be short this time, but hints are that we're starting to hit that wall with improvements slowing down.

> I’ve always believed the fundamental problem is that Meta leadership never truly understood the metaverse concept...

If they had, is there even a compelling product there? For me, the definitive analysis here is Dan Olson's[1] (though in the context of decentraland). Doing a metaverse in VR is contradictory to having users walk from place to place (because a huge chunk of your users will get motion sick). Having a metaverse where you have to walk from place to place is contradictory to metaverse as a productivity tool (because walking from place to place is a lot slower than clicking a button).

VR has some compelling standalone experiences, but the user is generally constrained to staying still or moving around a small, fixed area. Maybe a VR meeting is more compelling than Zoom, but is it worth the extra cost and effort of donning a VR headset?

Likewise a large open world where you can, potentially, do anything is compelling (see Minecraft), but is it a space where you would want to do something productive? In Minecraft the inefficiency of walking around and working with individual blocks is half the point - it's what makes it fun - but it's not an efficient way to build or design or shop or even consume "content" if you value your time.

So what's left? The metaverse itself as entertainment? Maybe. But it's not going to be the next iPhone. At best you're aiming for the ubiquity of World of Warcraft.

It's not quite that simple, even if they had spent more, the US made itself the centrepoint of post-WWII institutions because of the Cold War. As I heard put quite succinctly, on one European podcast this week, even if you have 20 European nations spending more, their current military strategy has always been based around integrating into a combined NATO led force, dominated by US command and control structures. Those 20 European nations therefore would need a total strategic rethink of everything. Purchasing decisions would be totally different - like the British storm shadow missiles gifted to Ukraine that rely on GPS - apparently now will not work.
"The idea that an overweight person has "too much muscle" is nonsense."

Our bodies like to have a balance of everything.

"Muscle mass is a huge predictor of mortality"

In biology, most such predictors work only up to a point. Massively muscular people don't live to be 120. Bodies don't work in a straightforward fashion, and there are other effects to consider. For example, activation of the mTOR pathway, associated with tissue growth, is associated with shorter lifespan, and mTOR inhibitors like rapamycin seem to be modestly prolonging lives of many species.

I don't like Cursor, because I like PyCharm as my very awesome IDE. Claude Code is a terminal app, it's something that I just issue commands to and it mostly works, and then I check everything in PyCharm.

I tried Aider a couple of months ago and it gave me crappy code. Maybe it was the model I used back then, but I didn't like it. I had much better experience with Claude Code.
> they have frames that are good looking and affordable

Some of their frames are clones of expensive, popular frames from boutique designers. Perhaps that's why they are retired after a while.
That’s not exactly true. Cannabidiol (CBD) is naturally occurring and there’s a commercial FDA approved drug for epileptic seizures in children called Epidiolex. If I remember correctly, the patent is for “Oral cannabinoid formulations”.

Even without a patent, companies can get FDA exclusivity but for not as long as a patent grants them so unless the addressable market is huge, it’s a financially riskier bet.
I would give Numerical Recipes a pass.

The craft that tipped over last year (Odysseus) was also made by Intuitive Machines (IM).

Firefly's Blue Ghost landed on the moon last week without tipping over, proving that a modern commercial company can do it.

Kind of embarrassing for IM which is 0 for 2. I'm sure there are all kinds of reasons/excuses for why IM's landers fell over and I'm sure their mission profiles are different from Firefly's, but from a high level perspective I'm sure senior leaders at NASA are reconsidering giving any new contracts to IM.
> If you have "collective efforts" you want funded or built, you're free to ask people voluntarily to put their lives, children, families etc. on hold for whatever cause you think is important that I don't see that you have insight into.

Such collective efforts are already underway. One is called the United States, a system where the legal construct property is bounded and compatible with taxation for public provision. The US is a club of people who have banded together for common goals and with democracy as a tool for updating the system. If you don't want to be part of that club then leave.

The main problem with VPPs is that the people hosting the DER (distributed energy resource) equipment aren't the customers, they are the resources. The companies using VPPs don't really give a shit about the resource, other than to use their equipment in a vampiric way to siphon off some of the profit from selling the power to the grid. Often, the VPP company will make things worse for the company hosting the equipment, and often the VPP company will finance a battery and solar project, and then the host is stuck with them for decades.

There needs to be open standards-- and I mean open as in beer, right now the standards are "open" for those who are insiders in the industry only-- for accepting and bidding into the market. There also has to be a regulated and open API standard for site-installed DERs, so that those who host and own the batteries can utilize them programmatically, which is almost impossible today if you're not a big company. Additionally, there needs to be more companies willing to fund DERs for the hosts to install and operate, rather than just allowing big VPP companies to siphon off some of the profits and make everything more expensive with software that, frankly, isn't that hard to build.

We need to enable decentralized VPPs before all of the VCs snap up all of the VPP and DER contracts. This is like the next water fight, and the big VCs are way ahead of the curve in buying up contracts. Once a building/campus/site is contracted with a DER VPP service company, it's likely locked in for decades.

FYI, this article is just an advertisement for another VPP vampire.

It was Russia who betrayed Ukraine. Not giving more aid, there is a reasonable argument is not betrayal. It's more if a movement from temporary charity to negotiations on a sustainable resolution. Getting Zelensky to take the ego blow needed to end the war is going to be painful, because there is no easy way out.
Random aside. Their code snippet has this comment:

// popovers have light dismiss which influences our state

And I hadn't heard of that phrase before! Turns out it means "clicking elsewhere closes the thing:"

> "Light dismiss" means that clicking outside of a popover whose `popover` attribute is in the auto state will close the popover.[0]

Like what, say, a `<select>` does when open.

Strikes this dev as a pretty unintuitive way to phrase that. At first I thought it was "light" as in "light DOM," but I guess it's "light" as an antonym of "explicit?" Looks like there was some back and forth on this, and it was even proposed as an attribute: https://github.com/openui/open-ui/issues/834

The only reason nuclear weapons are a thing is because of imperialism. Stay in your fucking borders and nobody gives a shit.

Russia is the reason why the west has nuclear weapons, and now the fascist US is reviving its imperial ambitions, with threats of annexation to Panama, Greenland, Canada, and Palestine. Sounds to me like the entire fucking world should be scrambling to become a nuclear power.
This is also why the North America belongs to, depending on exactly where you are, largely England and/or Spain.

The problem comes when information, like race or gender gets imputed in other ways, like zip code or purchasing habits, and the computer, whether it's a traditional algorithm, an ML model, or AI, outputs a decision against a protected class.

In that sense, Aider is definitely better.

A coworker was trying both out on a project, and was finding Claude Code to be 4x more expensive (both using the Sonnet-3.7 mode) - because he couldn't limit the context Code would send. As the project grows, that multiplication factor could be a lot larger.
You get used to a certain weight and then a larger weight feels much larger. I remember having a 12-pound cat and thinking it was very comfortable to hold her (in my lap, not walking around). Then I had a 9-pound baby and held her a lot, and suddenly a 12-pound cat felt very heavy.

(The cat lost a bunch of weight and died, and that 9-pound baby is 50-something pounds now.)

Kind of passed over in the discussion of the science and toppling - but did they give any idea why it landed 250 miles from its intended landing site? Seems like a really large error?
Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons, and the last 12 years are a testament to how bad of a mistake that was.
> "Claude is simply much better."

Until lots of free AI models close the gap again. It is simply not good enough for such valuations like this for Anthropic.

Any other valuation higher than 70B for Anthropic is really overvalued and such higher valuations are always defended by those who invested in it already.
> Their use of Russian was not just because for export to russia or other russian speakers outside of Ukraine/Russia, it was not rare to make media aimed at a primarily Ukranian audience in Russian.

It doesn’t. It’s just speculative markets.

To recreate all Microsoft’s meaningful profit-generating offerings would cost a very small fraction of $3T. In SaaS space startups are competing with MS products for much cheaper. In operating systems, commercial Linux (RHEL, SteamOS, etc) is competing for much cheaper. In gaming, Microsoft has contributed much to game cost inflation, meaning others compete for cheaper. In hardware others compete for cheaper. In home office, even Google and Apple likely spend less to compete. Maybe in web services Azure leads in costs and has some moat, but I’m only saying this because I don’t know it well.

This is not to say MS is not an impressive company, but $3T is not its real value. From the stock market side, PE of 32-ish suggests it’s meaningfully over-valued too.

So I know you kind of meant that question in a half joking way, but it is a good question. You can’t explain $3T with real value, it has to be speculative or bubble-ish.

> but Nvidia is clearly way overvalued.

No it is not actually. They are making insane amounts of money and have very strong forward guidance. With the drop in the last month it is actually cheap (low peg ratio). When the market turns, nvidia is likely to soar once again.

Likewise sorry for writing what was on re-reading a rude comment.
As I read from book about gyroscopes, most sensitive achieve so fine accuracy, they detect daily Earth rotation and even yearly Earth rotation.

But when they speaking about near zero temperatures, looks like they talking about something like Rydberg atoms - extremely sensitive matter, which could be considered as nuclear scale gyroscopes, or quantum gyroscopes, or read more about quantum accelerometer.

And current inertial navigation could be used to calculate relative coordinates like automobile odometer, but from integrating accelerations. But classic accelerometer is just not fine enough, and at this place appear quantum accelerometer and quantum gyroscope.

And I agree, article is terrible. I don't know why they use so abstract language, when could just say, navy already tested quantum navigation.

Honestly, at this point, I'm so done with "blame the tool for failing to look for solutions or fighting with the way it was designed to be used". Because everything is literally there and is a matter of reading documentation and picking a package/framework which suits your needs. It's not perfect but desktop GUIs are more or less a solved problem in .NET. I will stop trying to help because it's clearly not working.
I did some looking, and it's so rare that there aren't any go-to statistics to cite. There are some reports of men committing murder after a paternity test, but it's unclear to me how what you're saying is anything more the speculation.

It might actually be that mandatory paternity tests reduces the background rate of familicide. All of the reports that I could find were only after the father had invested considerable time into raising the child as their own. The stakes of the deception are much higher. But if they know the day the baby is born (or earlier), then it's much easier to walk away. It also makes it pointless for the deception to happen in the first place.
