Dynamically linked dependencies? CI and semver aware automatic dependency tracking? Automatic updates pointed at personal app depots?

I think these are see through additive displays, not passthrough, no?

Those are 3DOF head tracking, right? This is inside-out tracked, 6DOF and hand tracking.

I guess they're testing the water before turning on native iPad app support? Not sure why they wouldn't ship it straight away.

You act like you don't use a touch screen every day. Its not some crazy impossible technology to have an oleophobic display.

How is Musk a political enemy other than people think he breaks the law kind of a lot? Isn't seeing Musk as an ally of the right kind of an admission of corrupt money dealings with the administration?

Reaching really hard to try to both-sides the narrative.

That would put them in the criminal record column, unless you mean "without legal review", ie anyone they feel like?

I guess they want military contracts or something.

Do it yourself then if you prefer. Same as it's ever been.

Only works if employees can't found something new. Which might be the case right now.

Really, it feels like we're in a quiet depression.

In this scenario, no one seems to talk about how, way before the end, AI tanks the value of thought work far before they take over other industries. Or even more extreme, the total collapse of white collar work...

Doesn't that factor into the future revenue? Feels like people imagine suddenly fully owning the means of production in a vibrant economy but how does that really make sense?

Phones have gotten bigger and bigger and yet you can't fathom folks want a big screen?

This is closer to a light switch than the HVAC itself. Do you expect those to need replacement at 10-15 years?

Castlevania and Cyberpunk are great. Devil May Cry is fun.

I mean it's a goofy thought. In this future why would you have a personal account and not one provided by your corporate overlord anyway? Why are humans needed at all in this future? Its silly.

Their game adaptations are actually pretty good though.

How much could it possibly cost to keep these working?

The magic of the Dockerfile is that it puts the onus of spelling out the environment dependencies on the maintainer, not the user. This was always the case but the difference is now its an easily verifiable, non-binary file.

Layering is as much an abstraction paradigm as a performance one. Its not trivial to verify every loose bootstrap script or .deb that would be needed to build a sandbox... But in a Dockerfile you can see its just some official alpine image base, and a few added files and an entrypoint.

LLMs are distilled bias. Its not like they're a classical AI being of pure logic.

I have to wonder, what is the real substantive number difference in exploits. Its in the hype train's interest to pump the CVEs in both quantity and severity so I do wonder how much of that is happening.

The time to exploit is also somewhat hypothetical. We're assuming infinite attacker resources which hasn't really been the assumption.

We see a lot more news and fear but are we seeing more actual "large scale exploitation"?

I'd love to see some numbers in that regard.

I like Powershell but what's funny is you can now write single file C# scripts and run them from the dotnet command. No need for a solution or anything. Actually pretty nice for shell scripting now.

C# async is great. One of the best implementations of cooperative multi threading you can get, IMO.

Greenthreads or what have you are not a replacement if you want to do things like have a UI thread or bind to a native thread for interop. But you _can_ with async/await.

If you don't do the work to separate the actual specifications from what the legacy app happens to do then why are you even rewriting it?

This is fantasy though.

The reason code takes time to change is not because changing it takes time.

You have to redo all the testing and relearn all the hard fought and underspecified lessons of the previous attempt. That's what takes the time.

Isn't distillation more of a black box type affair?

So like, the cable company now controls the certs for most consumers?

I don't know... I feel like to many C++ templates are hell and C#/Java style generics the sweet spot you want in the actual language.

If you want to do insane meta programming, you should look into Roslyn generators. It's like they added a robust code gen system to the language (even though its a compile stack feature). You basically get the full power of templates and macros but you get to use the target language (C#) instead of a bolted on macro or template language.

>- Associated types in interfaces. (IEnumerable should not be forced to return a type-erased = heap allocated IEnumerator instance.)

Its not but if you call from the interface and not the implementation, it has to box because that's the contract. If you for each over a List<T> and not IEnumerable you get a stack allocated value type IEnumerator.

This is like seeing someone get mugged and saying clothes lack stab resistance. The mugger simply exposes the problem.

What is the significant difference to Java? In C# you would write something like Foo<out Bar> instead of Foo<? extends Bar> or some such thing.
