> Of course it will. This is basic physics. But does everyone have the space/room dimensions to have a proper surround sound setup? Pesky physics restrict you here as well.

I want an IMAX viewing experience with booming surround effects and I only have time to watch when the kids are all in bed. Compared with a house large enough to have a dedicated sound-proof theatre room, $3500 doesn’t sound too expensive.

Why should Apple use existing technology words to describe their new product? They are trying to create a “new” product category and come up with their own vernacular for this segment. I can just see the patent trolls salivating over this n

I don’t think the dorky mask look will change any time soon. There’s just too much electronics to fit into the system for it to shrink down to a pair of regular glasses. When the Apple Watch was introduced, I thought that the form factor wo

Apple is probably going to have supply constraints for the first generation product so pricing it high makes sense.

My take would be that it would be Apples track record of making software work well with the hardware, more seamlessly than either Samsung or Meta. Just look at the virtual avatar they demoed compared with Meta’s. Apple went with a more prof

I believe it’s not necessary to fully verify a piece of software before it can be trusted. We humans are all black boxes, no one can read our minds, but we can trust each other through our reputations. I treat software the same way; as long

I don’t understand why people believe that open source inherently makes software secure and trustable. Yes, you have access to look through the code, but I usually don’t have the expertise to understand what I’m looking at. I wouldn’t know

Looking at the site, I may have worded my reply too strongly since you can still export your passwords even if your subscription ends. But nonetheless, 1Password used to make a great product where I could choose to sync my password to any c

After 1Password moved to subscription only, I’m never recommending them to anyone. How does it make sense to surrender your authentication credentials to a subscription service?

Rossmann mentioned using a user configurable password or encryption key to prevent theft. What did he mean? Did he mean to use a password or key to protect serialization information? But this would still require serialization of parts, whic

This is the type of news app that I’ve always wanted. Kudos. I hate the sensationalism in news these days. One thing I’d like to see is a feature for grouping articles about the same piece of news. I keep seeing repeating articles covered b

I wish the FTC would also look at Roblox more carefully. So many parents blindly let their children play Roblox allowing them to get sucked into pay 2 win schemes, NFC trading and advergames.

This is not such a grim future since it’ll mean that SWEs still have a job. My fear is that AIs get powerful enough for MBAs to create robust software without the assistance of SWEs. A world run solely by MBAs is a scary future.

Just like Netscape is synonymous with browser? Just 5 years ago DeepMind was at the forefront. AI tech is changing so fast who knows who will be ahead in the next 5 years?

I would also like to avoid a future where we are slaves to corporate AI. If training the whole model individually isn’t feasible, would it be possible to decentralize the training?

A doctor’s job is definitely much more stressful than a tech job. You are dealing with people’s lives every day and a misdiagnosis could possibly lead to someone’s death. Seldom do you have that level of responsibility in a tech job.

It’s so common to see Google bashing on HN now that it’s become a cliche. Google has never been good at monetizing products beyond their search. I don’t think it has anything to do with growing too large for its own good. Google is this gen

Take a look at what was written in the reply more carefully. There’s no mention of the word “increase” that you added. Simply that the machine is 150% of the previous version (ie 50% increase).
