My personal favorite is the "companies are obligated to support it forever, or open source the server software hosted by a third party, hosting paid for up front for at least a year."

They get to keep my money forever don't they?

It just has to go unnoticed long enough to spam for a few days, get defederated, delete itself, start over

You wouldn't just move your eyes you'd move your head the same as you'd do at a desk. That's the tracking part of the headsets

Considering that we can train digital statistical models to read thoughts via brain scans I think it's more likely than not that we are more similar

Correct, and the massive databases of long-length context associations are why you need tens to hundreds of gigabytes worth of ram/vram. Disk would be too slow

The magic sauce is context length within reasonable compute restraints. Phone predictive text has a context length of like 2-3 words, ChatGPT (and other LLMs) have figured out how to do predictions on thousands or tens of thousands of words of context at a time.

It would be very easy to spoof those values in a handshake though, unless you're proposing that in the initial data exchange a remote server gets a dump of every post and computationally verifies compliance.

Federated trust is an unsolved problem in computer science because of how complex of a problem it is.

Yeah I don't want Apple's implementation either, just saying to the other guy where I thought the endgame was headed

The resolution isn't quite there yet, and I think the headset is too heavy to wear for 8hrs a day, 5 days a week (plus leisure if you're a gamer or hobbyist)

This still doesn't solve the issue with underlying kernel feature and function compatibility. 99% of the time when I have an issue getting something to work, it's because of something like my LTS kernel doesn't support floc(), etc.

This only solves competence issues, it does nothing to resolve the difficult compatibility problems.

Why not? it's a lot more space efficient; it's a lot more power efficient. The only thing holding it back is cost and comfort. I'm a developer rocking 4 monitors standard for work and I can absolutely imagine a world where I just have a desk, a keyboard, and a headset.

Monitors. It's not there yet but imagine a world where you have like 8, 30-inch, 4k monitors in a giant grid and it costs like $600. That's the endgame here. Get VR tech to the point where it's better than buying physical displays for general productivity.

In my experience, it's not a "show ID to the guy and he says okay" it's "the guy is obligated to scan your ID into the doordash/Uber app to verify age". They can't opt to not check without getting dinged pretty heavily by Uber/doordash.

Context/region blocking is a very quick and inexpensive path to basic security. At work I have sets of iptables rules to block regions by country code and by context (i.e VPN provider, datacenter provider, etc). I've found that some services will go from tens of thousands of brute force attempts per day to 1-2 per month. It really is crazy the amount of routine attacks that come through VPN providers if you host services in the professional world.

Does this mean that legitimate users can't use a VPN to access our services? Yes, but we also don't sell any data to any third parties so I don't feel so bad about it.

Car manufacturers also tend to make parts available for decades. They tend to be pretty reasonably priced too.

Tends to keep up with the meta for a lot of categories in my experience regardless of what you're into.

And ideally, when you find someone that is in all three circles for longer than a honeymoon (or refractory) period, that's the one you marry!

There are no contracts signed agreeing to that exchange by either me nor the scrapers. Legally, it's free.

+1 for how heavy are the dumbbells you lift

I think he's suggesting that it's pretty dystopian to let creators decide that their content is free to view but only if you're a human willing to let companies spy on you while watching it.

It's either free or it's not.
