This should have been compared with Opus... I know OP says he didn't because of cost but if you're comparing who is better then you need to compare the best to the best... if Claude Opus 4.1 is significantly better than GPT 5 then that could offset the extra expense. Not saying it will... but forget cost if we want to compare solely the quality
It's obviously a CEO selling his own product so not much to comment on. There is definitely a place for both headsets. The main part I laugh at though is him complaining about a slight motion blur in Vision Pro when moving your head quickly when the quest 3 has the most insane picture warping ever in passthrough mode around the hands and edges of the screen.
Yeah I've always hated that statement. How do you even measure that? I've had my Tesla sound the alarms when I'm 4 car lengths away from the car in front of me and nothing bad is happening at all. Do they count that as having prevented an accident? Do they count all those phantom breaks as preventing a crash ;＾∀;＾）
That is kind of similar to Tesla still though. At least with FSD Beta there is a camera actively monitoring you and making sure your eyes are on the road. I've also been on roads where autopilot either won't activate at all or will activate but at a reduced speed. I was hoping that once Tesla enabled that internal camera they would stop relying on weight on the steering wheel and just use eye tracking.
One thing I don't quite understand is that many cars have autopilot-like software. Unlike tesla's which constantly requires putting pressure on the wheel to show you're there and paying attention, Ford's lets you drive indefinitely without any hands on the wheel. Wouldn't this same investigation be put onto other manufactures as a giant audit? Hitting emergency vehicles is obviously bad but 1) it happens in cars without autopilot and 2) if you're hitting one you're clearly no paying attention. it's not like they just appear out of no where
Companies that are rescinding offers are just terribly managed companies. If you're in that bad of shape, then you should have done a hiring freeze months ago and there shouldn't have been any offers left to rescind (sure, there are odd ones where maybe they accepted 3 months early).
Came here to say this... The book animates behind all the other ones. I was like "...shouldn't the book be in front of the others so I can see the title? you know... I bet it's because it's Safari". Sure enough Chrome works as expected
Didn't Benjamin Franklin do this? If I recall from his biography, he'd essentially hold a marble or something while in his rocking chair and it would drop onto a plate
Only thing about all the self parking stuff is it's a bit too slow. I live in SF, and so far it's been difficult to use self parking in practice. If you take too long you get people pulling up so close to you in the back that you can't reverse, or endless honking. Especially with the Model S auto park since you actually have to pull up a lot farther than a normal person would before you can engage it
Head First Java is a pretty good book. It's an interesting style of teaching in it. It's very much geared towards novices though. I think they use it at my University now for their intro to Java classes.
If you want something more advanced, O'Reilly books are always a good way to go. Nowadays there is a ton of stuff on YouTube as well.
I agree 100%. Marco just posts random complaints these days. There are no specific examples of what is actually broken. An OS is about as big of a project as you can get. What evidence is there that Mac OS X is any more broken than any other widely used operating system?
The papers published on the Google File System (GFS) and Map Reduce are still some of my all time favorite papers. It gives really good inside into how GFS/Map Reduce was built, but explains it in a very straight forward way. We actually implemented an in memory version of GFS/MapReduce in my graduate operating systems class. It remains as one of my favorite projects I've ever done.
