It has 229 pixels per inch based on the E in Gallery 3 display. On E ink’s site, the Gallery 3 product specs says support is up to 300 ppi. Remarkable should’ve gone with the higher resolution.

Wouldn’t the endurance preferred human eventually reach a safe distance and not have to fight?

Why? I get that publishers want ads but cookies are not required for ads. Safari and Firefox have 3P cookie restrictions already.

They should’ve started with user choice as the first milestone when it was originally announced. Similar to Apple’s app tracking. Or just get rid of cookies and let ad tech be less invasive.

I daily the InkPalm for reading. It replaced my Kindle given its pocketable size. I still run the Kindle app on it and it works well without page turn animation. I am curious to see new eink development when the eink pattern expires.

Can the students use other computing devices like Chromebooks or iPads with restrictions in place? Overall, this is likely a success for the schools who can commit and the students willing to compromise.

LLMs don't reason. Are LLMs on he path to AGI?

Is there a PE alternative for small business owners or sectors looking towards PE as the solution? How can doctors or vets or other similarly time bound practitioners gain access to businesses acumen for long term success?

Who is stopping innovation that you deem valuable or of a greater virtue?

There is no accountability for the ruling class including political actors in the US. I enjoy the freedoms this country provides but I see risk across the very fabric of society. We are drowning as a country and it's to allow certain sectors or companies to rise indefinitely to the top of the capital market. What solutions can we deploy?

My comment history probably makes it clear where I work (maybe years back) and it is not Google. I see my recent comments are reactively supporting specific Google products. I don’t have a strong stance for them at entity level and if anything I ding them for killing some of my favorite web tools. I earnestly believe that ad tech is fighting to maintain user level tracking with limited transparency, look at the efforts by LiveRamp and The Trade Desk. Those are overt efforts to use emails as currency where consumers would have limited control for relevant ads. I am surprised Google truly would eliminate 3p cookies in chrome and mobile IDs on android when both platforms benefited in ads revenue post Apple ATT and ITP. I support the privacy sandbox principles as an ad tech person and a regular consumer. I caveat that if new information comes to light regarding their intentions then I would change my mind.

I was fairly pro Apple until they half attempted to provide ads solutions in the wake of App tracking transparency and I realized their gain was on App Store ads revenue. Amazon wishes they had a browser but their stores and hardware provide sufficient ads signals. Meta has plenty of ads scandals over the years. It’s a messy landscape but only a few organizations are developing ad tech and consumer privacy solutions in the open.

Can you support your main claim? Privacy Sandbox has settings for publishers, SSPs, DSPs, and consumers to opt in/out of the solutions. It is not perfect. I would want zero tracking and zero advertising in an ideal world. Today, sandbox is in 1% of all browsers. Someone with Sandbox experience can correct me if I am wrong.

I am curious. How do you view 3P cookies from a consumer perspective? My mom would consider those a dark pattern without transparency or control for ads or general tracking. What about sharing your phone number with any entity? How do you feel about Apple's tracking transparency where it removes data from app developers but Apple retains data for itself or Apple's private click measurement?

> while giving its own ad teams inside details & time to adapt to the new paradigm

I've worked in ad tech my entire career and many years competing against Google ad solutions. To my knowledge, Google strictly separates Chrome privacy efforts from Google Ads, and these work streams are part of the Consumer Markets Authority oversight. https://www.gov.uk/cma-cases/investigation-into-googles-priv...

I highlight these nuances for readers who are not closely tracking ads and privacy efforts. It is easy to make claims like "giving its own ads teams inside details" without proof, but in ad tech we know Chrome is working with multiple testing companies. Some of us happen to work in ads, but we also believe in greater consumer privacy and are eager for an improved ads paradigm.

FLoC is part of Google's Privacy Sandbox which is a multi-solution effort to improve consumer privacy on Chrome similar to Safari's ITP. I am curious how you perceive Safari's 1P and 3P cookie changes? And how would you respond to Safari's changes as a competing browser? Would you leave 3P cookies and avoid any privacy efforts?

I empathize you. I am hitting the end of my 30's and for a while I felt lost in the sea of young-folks memes and platforms. I am not on Meta's platforms or TikTok, and I largely quiet reddit. I happen to find YouTube with premium a good content portal for my interests. I started gaming in the last two years after a good 15 years of zero gaming. The PC community is strong now that handhelds are accessible and most recent non-Apple computers can handle popular games.

I also agree with you on TikTok's value proposition – it is not unique – but like the previous networks before it, it has critical mass. That is it. It doesn't mean it will stay on top for a decade, but its heavy state influence (read funding) helped it stay afloat while it accrued users. And its existence and proliferation help enforce that - at least in the US - there is an open market for new platforms to gain mass popularity.

I would take AIM or Apple iChat or a static forum over discord, but the internet changed. I finally understand why folks 20-30 years older than me prefer less change. Adapting is hard.

I see some comments here regarding Google or Meta market dominance, but the root issue is the open web's transition to controlled platforms. The rise of discord, twitch, or TikTok point to a continued trend and not a reversal. If I am a leader in content discovery or information aggregation, then I will have to work with the existing platforms like reddit to surface information. If Discord made itself discoverable, then search engines would instantly drive organic traffic to discord servers. But it is a closed platform. Forums fell in popularity for platforms with mobile apps that offer consistent interfaces, single user names, and easy-to-use community tools. The market is wide open for new content discoverability solutions but one would have to solve for the closed platforms dominating internet discourse today.

I cite Discord because it is text-first compared to Twitch. As an elder millennial, I find myself using Discord to interact with niche communities. For example, I care about a specific synthesizer emulation project. They have a discord server where we can discuss feature releases or music in general. Twenty years ago this community would be its own forum or a thread on a larger forum. https://dsp56300.wordpress.com

Lastly, if discoverability is monopolized by one player, then why and how did TikTok explode in the last five years? It is not the front page of the internet for all, but it is for certain age groups.

Do you read retrododo? Their content isn't the gold-standard for retro emulation and most folks in the retro community are on discord or YouTube.

For a group of smart solution driven folks, this comment section reads overly negative. I am curious if any one here is in the autos sector. My extended family works in motorcity and some work in machining around the Midwest. I hear excitement for new growth opportunities and hesitancy as the US autos lag behind China in rapid development. I have an EV and an ICE motorcycle. Admittedly I would be sad if all ICE vehicles were banned but I am open to change. I hope American auto groups can take the reigns and become global leaders again. There is a large sector of people itching for more manufacturing jobs.

I’ve slowly started to switch over to Gemini Advanced the paid tier from ChatGPT4. Longer conversations seem possible with Gemini and it has more recent information - at least for the topics I care about.

AI is more than managing prompts and Google's arsenal of ML talent is sky high. I recommend decoupling AI's sociopolitical journey from the underlying technologies. You are going to miss the forest for the trees. I look towards market adoption as the critical milestones, but those figures are closely guarded today. For example, Microsoft baked Copilot into many of its products but which ones have high user engagement and long term adoption?

I've been using both ChatGPT and Gemini for months as my primary question-seeking-response portals. I find Gemini to provide more relevant and recent responses while ChatGPT provides slightly more thorough code guidance. For me, LLMs are a shortcut to researching information where I am hoping to find one or two sources which answer the majority of my questions. Now, I can chat and reason through my questions in one thread without navigating to other sources. The biggest pitfall is surfacing differing perspectives but I think that is solvable.

Isn’t the automotive space filled with lobbyists wanting to maintain the status quo? I’ve witness many families go electric and none have gone back. Self selected bias?

I’ve had an EV for over seven years now. We are on our second Tesla and looking at a Rivian. I could not go back to an ICE vehicle and this is coming from a long time automotive enthusiast who has competed in rallys and track events. For my family’s lifestyle it is just so simple to own an EV with low to no maintenance, home charging, solar panels cost savings, pet modes, simple to operate, and almost appliance like. We have one vehicle and a motorcycle. When I ride I can focus on manual operations like changing gears or using two brakes. But if I am honest it is rare I want such a taxing ride. I still commute at least twice per week on a two wheels. Eventually, I will get an electric motorcycle.

I had range anxiety in my first month of EV ownership but you quickly realize that most trips rarely require a charging stop. Admittedly, I am in California but even traveling through the desert only one time did I need to use my mobile charger.

It is hard not to see “fragile white people” as a bias. Look at these comments around you. The more typical HN lens of trying to understand the technical causes is overcome by cultural posturing and positioning. If I had to guess, either the training set was incorrectly tagged like with a simpler model creating mislabeled meta data, or a deliberate test was forked to production. Sometimes you run tests with extreme variables to validate XYZ and then learnings are used without sending to prod. But what do I know as a PM in big tech who works on public facing products where no one ever has DEI concerns. No DEI concerns because not everything is a culture war like the media or internet folks will have you believe. Edit: not at Google

Intense nostalgia. I remember my updating my MacBook from Tiger to Leopard and being inthralled with the new OS welcome video. It was a powerful feeling like a genuine leap was made after rebooting and new powers unlocked. 10.3 used Rokysopp's Eple, and I still love that song and album.

Solo band, not the double loop.

Living with the Vision Pro is much easier than I expected. I thought it would feel bulky to manage with the external battery — it hasn't. I put the battery in my pocket and pop into visionOS without any hassle. I found the max time is about 1.5 hours before I feel slight eye and physical pressure fatigue from the headset.

I prefer the solo band over the dual loop. I've used it since launch with the solo band. It should sit slightly high on the back of your head.

Using Vision Pro with my work Mac while traveling would be ideal, but work locks down my Mac limiting most of the Apple device interplay.

I would like to see podcast services provide transcripts by default. I rarely have time to listen but I would gladly read.

It is likely telemetry to improve the iOS experience. Unfortunately, some group of PMs will misinterpret the aggregated data and make the user experience worse. Doesn’t Apple have an opt out for data analytics?
