From reading/listening to reports of people who were able to demo the device, I think Apple may have nailed it, or come close. Everyone I've seen has absolutely raved about how accurate and intuitive the eye tracking + hand gestur

People relentlessly mocked the appearance of AirPods when they first came out, but we all know how that ended up.

This is really, really interesting, thank you for sharing. Taking with normal guy-on-the-Internet grain of salt, but you seem pretty informed.

It’s not “unsolved” - it’s just mostly left to the massive number of third-party data-fetching solutions built on top of React.

Is this universal? In previous annual checkups with my primary care doctor, I have mentioned symptoms as varied as: - recent depression - trouble breathing - irregular heartbeat several of which resulted in follow-up appointments / lab

Sure, tech has levels.fyi to find companies with good salary and equity or whatever. But where’s corrupt.co, where I can find the shadiest possible companies to maximize my potential whistleblowing income? On second thought, maybe Blind is

I mean, Waymo is doing hundreds of regular trips throughout all of San Francisco. I think the technology is getting pretty good.

There are lots of possible hardware issues, yes. But I don't think I'm being a fanboy when I say that if I trust any company to fix physical comfort/usability issues, it's Apple (with a $3,000/device budget).

It’s hard to judge anecdata vs. reality, but I don’t know literally any couple who doesn’t do most of their watching together.

Why does that apply to this situation? What is the "common good" being destroyed by individual self-interest?

This is not a tragedy of the commons. Some companies will enforce RTO. Some will not. The market will decide how valuable that is, and remote-capable companies should benefit for it.

Is it really fair to say this brings us “no closer” to explainability? This seems like a novel approach to try to tackle the scale of the problem. Just because the earliest results aren’t great doesn’t mean it’s not a fruitful path to trave

That's the point -- the blue is to help break the cycle further and keep you awake, when your body insists otherwise!

Someone else in the thread mentioned that this is roughly how Spotify works, too -- take a pool of revenue, and distribute it based on how many streams an artist got. One way or another, it's clear that there are existing, practical mo

Not directly, no. There's no marginal revenue generated from a person viewing an episode of a show on Netflix (unless they're on an ad-supported subscription). The value of each show on Netflix is that it gives users one more reas

In principle, yeah, but the edge cases look nasty pretty quickly. Some streaming platforms do have ads shown alongside their shows. So a residual structure could make sense. Some shows will air on both kinds of streaming platforms - Commu

Only if you actually get a gig on another season in that same time. Writing is a very inconsistent job, and stability is really valuable. A contract that guarantees you for half the time, at the same rate, is a lot more uncertainty.

The lack of streaming residuals seems to be a big, big part of the strike, and man, that's a tricky issue. On one hand, writer compensation has always been structured around residuals -- and it seems like pay for writers on streaming s

Well, devil’s advocate — if this does work, it would be extremely useful in a lot of places that monorails are not.

This works for one user against one shitty troll. I think if we have learned literally nothing else, it’s that social media moderation is hard, and the server is going to have to do some work. It just can’t be only on users to locally blo

Are we really evaluating a fleet of self-driving taxis on profitability today, though? If they're reliably doing 10,000 trips a week, I promise you they don't need to worry about finding additional investors. "It's not

They may not be. But do you wanna be the person/people to argue that against one of the richest companies in the world? I sure don't, and I definitely wouldn't stake my company/product on it.

Do you have a link to a decent tutorial for someone to do what you're describing in the last paragraph?

There definitely is. LLaMA is not licensed for commercial use. It's impractical to prosecute 1,000 people tinkering on their laptops, but if Meta discovered that Amazon was using LLaMA for commercial purposes, it would be nuclear war.

Yeah, but what does the Venn diagram look like there? Yes, new technologies create new jobs. But it’s not usually the people from the old jobs who are taking those new jobs.

I genuinely think we’re just at the beginning of the era of remakes and remasters for games. There’s clearly a massive market for stuff like the FF7 / RE4 remakes — not just graphical updates, but total overhauls of beloved classics wi

I mean, I don’t know where you’d draw the hard line in terms of user count, but it’s definitely somewhere before half of the human race. Once that many people use your products I would argue there is a moral imperative to do right by thos

Huh. This is definitely… a bold strategy. The PR folks behind this have a future in politics, for sure.
