  • I don’t think smart glasses are going to be completely standalone anytime soon. Chip technological progress has been relatively slow in the past years, and I think we’re plateauing a bit with how much you can physically shrink transistors. Maybe there will be a technological breakthrough that will allow much more powerful chips at much smaller sizes, but I feel that’s not gonna happen in any sort of near term. I think glasses are going to become companions for phones and that most processing will be done on phones. As for my thoughts on the glasses themselves, I don’t really know what I think about them. I would be much more comfortable if they were completely locally processed without touching the cloud, but even then it is a bit weird to constantly have cameras looking at you all the time.


  • That’s a bit of a flawed approach, at least if we’re talking about the average user. The average user doesn’t want nor shouldn’t need to have a deep understanding of the OS. If you’re a dev or interested in it, sure, it’s good to know, but asking the average person to have to constantly tinker with their OS is like asking people to diagnose their own illnesses. Sure, it would be nice if you knew medicine and why you were sick and how to cure it, but it doesn’t make sense to expect everyone to do it. Most people don’t care, and have better things to do in their life.

    Of all the things, you decided to defend that scumbag. He and his cronies were one of the primary agitators that caused the war. Even if he himself didn’t order a genocide, he actively militarily supported the Bosnian Serbs that caused one. And say what you want but the bombing did stop the active ethnic cleansing happening in Kosovo.


  • I think the ball is at C3.

    Albert knows that Bernard doesn’t know where it is exactly, that means the ball can’t be in the first two rows, because if it was that would mean there’s a chance for the ball to be in column 5 or 6, in which case Bernard would known right away where it is exactly (as those columns have only one ball). This means the ball must be in row C or D and column 1, 2, 3 or 4. We know Bernard was able to deduce the exact position of the ball from this information, which means it can’t be column 1 (as there are 2 balls still remaining there). That means it must be in column 2, 3 or 4. We know Albert was able to deduce the exact position if the ball from this, and since row D has 2 balls still in play (collumn 2 and 4), meaning Albert wouldn’t be able to guess which one it was, that means it’s in row C, as row C has only one ball left in play.

    Now idk what the correct choice would be statistically. If I remember correctly, the Monty Hall problem states that there’s 2/3 of a chance you’ll get it correctly if you switch doors, but since a gold ball was pulled out from behind the first door (the ball at C3 is gold), I think that means there’s a 2/3 chance of the first door (the one from which the ball was pulled out of) being the one with all gold balls (since it contains 2/3 of all gold balls). In that case I think the probabilities cancel out? Which means it doesn’t increase your chances whether you switch or not.



  • I think the difference in speed in the video is just perspective + distance, plust Iran has many different types of balistic missiles. I mean, technically speaking many balistic missiles do go at hypersonic speeds, but that’s not what people mean when they say hypersonic missile, they refer to missiles that fly very low at hypersonic speed and can maneuver before hitting their target. You can clearly see the balistic trajectory of these missiles.
