AR isn’t only gaming. It’s to become the interface for a person’s world, instead of just the internet. It’s an extremely powerful position to influence what someone sees everywhere they look.

This is why companies are trying to break into it. Hardware is the main gap at the moment but Apple is the best hardware manufacturer in the world. The M chips are a step in this direction (high performance, low power).

I think it’s easy to call something out as primitive but what changes could be made and how much impact would it have? It doesn’t seem like our freight trains are the bottleneck when moving goods around the country.

Oddly enough, literal in that context is emphasizing the point instead of… the literal meaning.

Feeling safe is just as important as actually being safe.

I think you partially addressed that already with the privilege part. I know my city has rough areas that definitely have an increased risk of getting mugged, robbed or just jumped for no reason. Knowing that is enough to keep me from going around there unless I have a reason.

All about where it works. Geofenced solutions are much easier.

I wouldn’t say they’re behind, just solving a different problem. Should they have focused on inside city and highway driving? Probably. Would’ve had a good product sooner. Even if they don’t win this whole thing, they pushed the entire industry in a good direction.

Free for services that use Sign in with Apple. Need iCloud+ for generating addresses outside of that.

Also, 99 cents a month for the cheapest plan isn’t too bad for everything it gives you. If you’re in the iOS/Apple ecosystem, it’s a worthwhile purchase.

Irony of losing out on HN traffic this time.

There are still a lot of showrooms that do nothing but “sell” cars. Tesla uses their model to have locations in major upscale malls. I assume Ford will follow a similar model for EVs.

Can I piggyback on yours?

A true FPSMMORPG. Closest thing we have to this with a good community is Destiny. I wish for fully open worlds, good storylines and everything you said. I believe that was the original idea with the project that became Overwatch but sad it didn’t pan out.

I understand that level building and all is much harder when the expectation of detail is higher in FPS but hopefully that gets easier with better tools. I would think that it’s still Bungie’s ultimate goal. Hopefully Destiny can evolve into that. Whatever game does it right, has the potential to be one of the biggest games ever.

To the last point, seems like he hasn’t brought the other devs up with him. Either by lack of company culture or personal avoidance, being “that” much better than everyone else should be shared. He should be teaching others.

Can we change the link to the referenced article? Blog does nothing to improve it. Actually leaves out most of the important parts.

Are you happier with it than your teslas?

Is that really their policy? Unlocked until it needs to be fixed? Seems like that’s worse than just locking it down in the first place.

Sometimes I buy multiple sizes of things and return the ones I don’t need. It’s mostly a convenience thing. I can go to an amazon locker and quickly return what I don’t need during my normal errands.

It’s also a browser extension and extension for things like Microsoft Word.

I think it’s fine if you use the website with information you don’t mind sharing but their extensions are reading everything you write.

Your source for your last point has the conclusion of:

“Although these biases did not significantly inflate estimates of drug efficacy, reporting biases led to significant increases in the number of positive findings in the literature.”

Which is literally the opposite of what you’re citing on efficacy.

Having worked from small consulting shops up to big tech, there’s a pretty wide range in skill sets for devs.

Even big tech has shit engineers but it seems to have a higher percentage of good ones. They get paid more because of the impact of their work and how much the company values them.

A group of good engineers can make miracles happen. A team with one rockstar and some mediocre people are going to struggle to make the same impact. That’s why you pay to attract groups of good talent. It’s not about individual contribution but the work of the whole team.

I don’t think everyone sees marriage the same way.

Vows are not morally or legally binding. It’s good if people want to take them seriously but people leave each other for lesser things than decades long depression.

Don’t have much to add but that’s an adorable dog.

While I’m not saying summon is a great feature, it would not have hit the things you’re mentioning.

Its major flaw is thin upright things like small trees or poles (although this may be better on vision only cars, I’m not sure). If it sees a person or child in its path, it’s just going to stop.

Transferring money is faster if you pay a fee.

You’re paying fees to transfer crypto.

That said, it’s free and instant with services like Zelle.

When did playful become offensive?

Probably more nuanced than “destroyed.” The entire value of the coin didn’t exist like 6 years ago and is now $500B. The burned coins are just going to be factored into the price in some way.

Apple has the best consumer hardware design in the industry. If one of the big tech companies are going to crack the hardware issues (arguably the most important part), it’s going to probably be Apple. It’s a game of who can make the smallest form factor with the best performance without looking like shit. Pretty sure Apple is in the best position to win that. The software for all the other stuff you mentioned will follow the winner of the hardware.

But yeah, the article is pretty weak. People keep trying because AR/VR is going to be massive if the hardware is solved. Being the gateway to a person’s entire world (AR) or the next major media and productivity tools (VR) will make you one of the most powerful companies in the world.

I thought it would be fine to watch on HBO Max but I’m glad I didn’t. The sound adds to the scale of the movie in a way that I don’t think is possible at home without a serious system.

Saw it in Dolby Cinema which, I think, is an IMAX competitor.

I was telling my partner that I felt the movie was meant for people who read the book. She thought it was boring. It’s missing a lot of smaller context and seems dull without it. But if you’ve read the book(s), it’s actually a pretty good visual of the series. It would take too long and be dull to everyone if we sat through explanations of everything.

This is a great supplement to anyone who didn’t read the book but saw the movie. That said, the book would probably be even better for that.

More confused on mine than anything.

They expect the Model Y to be the best selling EV in the world within a few years. They are fully focused on getting Texas set up for that. Cybertruck will probably come around 2023, maybe start production at the end of 2022 if everything went perfect.

I was just thinking about this with the announcement of the new AirPods. Apple could really take the concert earplug market while getting great natural marketing (people wearing AirPods at concerts). Just balance and lower the volume for concerts.

It’s optional to buy this insurance.
