For a great account of the history of research in AI, from the 70s to 2020, consider "Genius Makers: The Mavericks Who Brought AI to Google, Facebook, and the World".

It was very interesting for me to learn about the Symbolic approach to AI, which in the 70s was getting all the hype, while the Connectionist approach was ridiculed. In the end, connectionism is what gave us the stunning results we observe today.

Highly recommended book!

Very impressive!

Looks like they're not. From the Rolling Stone article: "the company will also take prescription details to build into the lenses for those who typically wear glasses."

That's not great at all if it means you can't share your headset.

As the article shows, there's always some subjectivity in mapping. It is essential that there be competition and different approaches to that enormous task.

I've used Meteor a lot over the last 4 years. Recently I had to start a new project and I wanted to move away from Meteor because clearly it has less traction lately.

I've considered a lot of things, but I couldn't find a setup as simple as Meteor with database integration. I ended up going back to Meteor and I'm very happy with it.

The tooling keeps getting better (recent 1.6 release), server-side rendering is almost there (already possible but no clear best practices yet), and scaling seems like it will be getting better soon (MongoDB upade + a path toward GraphQL with Apollo).

I had my doubts but I'm back on board. I recommend every JS developer give Meteor a good look.

Looks great. I like that the documentation already is very comprehensive, with a Hello World and several integration guides. Great launch!

Really nice. I think it would be more helpful if the properties were ordered in a logical order (by "type" of properties) instead of alphabetical order.

Yeah for physical buttons! I miss them on the Paperwhite.

Thanks for the kind words :)

Works fine for me too.
