you thought right. the author is just plain wrong here.

perfect example of missing the forest for the trees

the UUID timestamp is not for de-duping purposes. it's avoid expensive re-indexes that happen with truly random ids

obviously vibe-coded and therefore unlikely to be stable. but still good that this exists, because someone will probably take this and un-shittify (or you know, actually read) the code

What year is it? 2025? nobody reads code anymore -- that would result in a _decrease_ in quality.

doesn't work on arch (btw)

I regularly see human drivers intentionally run red lights.

Not just the kind where they try to make a yellow that they clearly weren’t gonna make, but also they stop at a red light, wait to see if there’s cross traffic, and then intentionally run the red light.

I don't know the last time I've seen a driver do that. The closest I've seen is a school bus/van a few months back drive through a red light after the light had already been red for a number of seconds. (I already had a green for the left turn.)

I don't even drive that much, but I've seen this behavior twice in the past week and a few more times in the past few month: Driver stopped at non-sensor intersection in straight lane. Left turn arrow turns green, straight solid red stays red. Driver starts going and proceeds straight through intersection. I'm left wondering if this is part of the general breakdown of norms following Covid, or aging boomers not caring about tickets, or what. It could just have been a spurious pattern too, of course.

I'm sorry, but what about the Quest 3 on paper seems to you to be close to the Vision Pro?

Device with focus on mixed reality and productivity sporting the latest in mobile chips and hand tracking. It also does VR but MR is the new feature being brought to the table.

Vision pro is all about mixed reality. So is the quest 3. As far as I can tell most of the difference between 2 and 3 is the vastly improved mixed reality. Basically this device is positioning itself to be the consumer version of the vision pro.

this is the most HN thread ever

carrots and sticks

Ban it for reciprocal reasons.

Either China allows FB, Google, Instagram, X, etc to operate there.

Or we ban TikTok here.

Countries already have unfair competition protections, this would fall under that.

reciprocal would be for china to request direct access to facebook servers and veto for it's executives

This is about to breed a new generation of insufferable folks, who’ll introduce themselves as “I work at Superalignment” ala “I work at DeepMind” (no, you used to work ar Alphabet, and now you work at Google)
