Blinking at a screen 1cm from one's eyeballs feels pretty damn dystopian.

we're back to celebrating the pursuit of thinner and lighter again? Things really have fallen off.

Similar to the "hole drilled through the kitchen table" problem of the HomeView ad, seeing the hands/arms floating in to touch the screen immediately makes me imagine the impossible ergonomics of reaching across a keyboard to touch a screen.

Steve would agree: "We've done tons of user tests on this, and it turns out it doesn't work. Touch surfaces don't want to be vertical. It gives great demo, but after a short period of time you start to fatigue, and after an extended period of time, your arm wants to fall off. It doesn't work. It's ergonomically terrible."

It's like having a remote control to read your kindle that's sitting on a stand 2 feet away (which, coincidentally, Amazon just announced).

Apparently the Ternus era of Apple is focusing on whether something can be built, not whether it should be released.

> By 1991 only 50,000 NeXTcubes had been sold. One of these, however, was used by Tim Berners Lee to create the first web browser and server.

Is it even possible to overstate the impact that Jobs has had on the world?

What part of Ternus, the individual, has evoked any sense of whimsy?

The company, usually, reflects the temperament of the ceo. We had whimsy because Jobs was whimsical, not because Apple was per se

Wild to see a headline like this on HN and have it be completely expected.

I don't think any spacex engineer would agree. "Hey, instead of making this rocket go to mars, can you make this car do a kickflip?"

I maintain that the entire event was to create a trail of evidence that justifies merging Tesla and SpaceX. No car will ever ship.

You can hear it in the voices of the creators, when they're giving an overview of the car to MotorWeek and other car media outlets. 99% focused on the rocket and battery tech/innovation, almost zero about the actual driving characteristics of the car, or that it -is- a car. Seems more like a rolling marketing mule.

I mean, this is something we want to encourage. Everyone always likes to quote fiduciary duty ad nauseum. Here is a public company flying (lol) in the face of that in the spirit of, well, fun.

With all the fighting over a single shared device, they should invent a form factor that fits in your pocket.

Frontier AI co warns that their model is super dangerous and needs more safeguards because it can break out on its own.

Model can't actually break out on its own.

Frontier AI co manually codes in one-off helpers for the model to break out "on rails."

"See? We told you it was super dangerous."

> According to the hacker, access was initially obtained using a leaked password belonging to a former employee of a small Danish company.

So the password could have been 32 alphanumerics with special characters and there still would have been a breach.

The password was not the problem here.

Absolutely love the live profile updating when you swipe from flatter to shorter.
