ha I just noticed the domain name too
fotta··on Pause Random Superconductor Experiments: An Open Letter
This is a parody of the letter about Gen AI right?

fotta··on Cloudflare Registrar now supports .dev domains
For those looking for a CF alternative, I have my .dev at Porkbun and am happy with them.
fotta··on Our new flagship distro: Fedora Asahi Remix
I’m not seeing the banner when coming from the comments on iOS Safari. Maybe it just doesn’t show on mobile though.
fotta··on Damaging results of mandated return to the office: it’s worse than we thought
Yahoo often syndicates articles from other sources. I've seen articles from my local paper on Yahoo. The author is the same in both links.

Intel has purchased the high-NA EUV machines[0] but I can't find any source on exclusivity.

fotta··on Apple plans a slow, appointment-only rollout of Vision Pro
I wonder how that’s going to work with differing pupillary distances?
fotta··on I am drowning in mutes: The current Threads experience
I’ve stopped using the algorithm on IG. Instead I use the “Following” feed (tap the Instagram logo in the top left on the home pane) which is a reverse chronological feed of only the people I follow.
fotta··on Threads has passed 2M sign ups in the first 2 hours
Apparently it’s coming https://www.threads.net/t/CuVlg88I84C/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA...
fotta··on Threads Is Now Live
That makes sense. It certainly seems to have a lot more content than Bluesky already, but maybe it's just the algorithm.
fotta··on Threads Is Now Live
There's already videos on day 1.
fotta··on Threads Is Now Live
I hope they'll give us a chronological, following-only feed like Instagram and Twitter already have.
fotta··on Threads.net
If you have the Facebook Container extension installed you can manually whitelist this site which will allow it to load.
fotta··on Can Dell’s 6K monitor beat their 8K monitor?
I used to be in group 3, then I got an iPhone with 120Hz display and fell into group 1. When you turn on Low Power Mode it restricts the display to 60Hz and it’s extremely noticeable for me now. Luckily I don’t notice the difference for monitors because I don’t have any 120Hz displays yet.
fotta··on Tell HN: Twitter switched temporarily to rate limited mode
FWIW I turned on notifications for Woj and Shams and I’m still getting them even though I’m rated limited too.

fotta··on Reddit Strike Has Started
The chat which doesn’t show up on old.reddit? So if someone sends you a message on it you miss it? The one you have to disable on new.reddit so people only use PMs? I missed tons of sales on BST subs before realizing people were sending me chats on that.
fotta··on r/ProgrammerHumor will be shutting down to protest Reddit's API changes
Points on individual comments aren't. But they are still ranked so in a way the effect is still there, just reduced.

They describe alternate pointer modes in this presentation (18:30) https://developer.apple.com/wwdc23/10034

fotta··on Apple Vision Pro Is Apple's New VR Headset
isn't this just a video of the video of the keynote?

Dava Sobel’s Longitude is a great book on this topic.

Seems like it’s an inertial navigation system [0] but they’re using some quantum device for precision.
