From the article:

Some of the incidents included “Free Palestine” graffiti being sprayed on a bridge in Golders Green, which is home to one of London’s largest Jewish communities; the defacing with swastikas of a poster in London of a baby kidnapped by Hamas; and a visibly Jewish man being verbally abused and threatened by people who were attending a pro-Palestinian demonstration.

As always, context matters.

Just because there are a lot of British Jews who live in Golders Green, that doesn't mean they support Israel. They are being targeted just because of their faith, which is antisemitic.

It's the same as if you did the equilevent in Tower Hamlets, presuming that just because a lot of British Muslims live there, they support Hamas, which would be islamophobic.

Tories and stagflation, what's new?

Like arrows in the sky!

I'm currently reading The Day The World Stops Shopping by JB Mackinnon, which argues the same point you're asking about, I think you'd find it interesting.

I understand that.

My point is that that had already been demonstrated.

This summary, well, isn't. It's just grabbing random paragraphs.

There's literally a summary section in the article itself it could have just used!

But the shocking thing is that Apple may have inadvertently revealed that some of these core ideas are actually dead ends — that they can’t ever be executed well enough to become mainstream.

Given Nilay has a good amount of experience with headsets, I'm surprised at how surprised they appear to be with this statement.

Back when I was in uni in the late 00s, AR and VR were a big thing, to the point that we had a module on it as part of our course. Even then it was clear that any hardware that physically closed you off (digital pass through is still a physical barrier) fundamentally stops the feeling of an argumented reality and puts you firmly in a disconnected (from physical reality) headspace. As in, you feel like you're in a virtual reality.

Google cardboard, which Nilay references:

Apple is also making immersive versions of some of its Apple TV Plus shows, which basically means a 180ish-degree 3D video that feels like the best Google Cardboard demo of all time

Came out 9 years ago, and proved the exact same thing for 1% of the cost of a Vision Pro.

As others have pointed out since the announcement, Glass also failed even without having that physical barrier between you and reality.

Lastly,

Do you want to use a computer that is always looking at your hands?

Nope!

Fuck Vodafone. This would be extremely disappointing if it's allowed.

She's a friend.

I was being sarcastic. I agree it's a matter of national security.

The fact Tata recieved all that money, and it didn't come with a condition that they must ensure all jobs are retained, and retrained as necessary, is, well, the Tories being Tories really.

"Not your keys, not your bitcoin" has been a saying for over a decade now and for good reason.

Do not leave crypto on exchanges.

People who are shocked about Coinbase saying this, honestly, shouldn't be fucking about with crypto in the first place as they clearly do not understand what they are doing.

Complete corporate fuckery given they were given 500m to fund conversion not too long along.

Who needs domestic steel production anyway? Christ alive.

Theoretically speaking, UBI operates within the structure of capitalism, so it's right wing by definition.

Practically speaking though you have supporters across the spectrum. On the left as a poverty elevation strategy, and on the libertarian right as an equaliser to enable entrepreneurs to take bigger risks.

On the right the split seems to be between those who are rich, and don't want to pay tax to fund UBI, and those who aspire to be rich but don't have the funds or safety net to start a business and see UBI as a way to provide it (without seeing themselves as someone who receives state aid / benefits).

I'm still getting this issue - it's pretty frustrating tbh, so we have a rough idea of when it'll be fixed?

Fallible humans are building them in the first place.

No LLM - masquerading as AI - is free of biases.

That's not to say that 'bad' people prompting biased LLMs is not an issue, it very much is, but even 'good' people are not going to get objective results.

"If you were just more positive you'd not be complaining about being depressed all the time".

And/or

"Have you tried just being happy for once?"

Besides a POV of “killing any animal is wrong”, I don’t really see an issue. It appears to be regulated and as long as they’re maintaining the bear population appropriately why is it any different than hunting deer or killing a cow for leather?

It may be because deer and cows are used for meat as well as their hide.

I'm not sure what happens to the rest of the bear.

No shit.

Wait, actually...

One the one hand, I'm annoyed that any new gas drilling is being allowed.

On the other, good, they can suffer from the policies they voted for, fuck 'em.

It's a question of scale. A single child cannot replace literally all artists, for example.
