Too bad Microsoft only cares about enterprise customers and never made the Surface line attractive to regular consumers. They could have been very interesting and competitive alternatives to MacBooks.
Your comment might win you the argument on a random non tech forum but not here.
much more efficient in what? mops the floor by what? which year's i7?
Don't get me wrong, I 100% believe what happened, but if you mean "my macbook is faster than my i7 thinkpad" you should use those exact words, but not bring RAM into this discussion. If you want to make a point about RAM, you need to be clear about what workflow you were measuring, the methodology you were using, and what the exact result is. Otherwise your words have no meaning.
Well, if Apple really wanted to do more, they would have implemented new APIs sooner and be in sync with Chrome and Firefox regarding features they support. (Currently Safari is often 1 year late in supporting lastest features.) I would not count on them.
> Leaders work every day to create a safer, more productive, higher performing, more diverse, and more just work environment. They lead with empathy, have fun at work, and make it easy for others to have fun. Leaders ask themselves: Are my fellow employees growing? Are they empowered? Are they ready for what’s next? Leaders have a vision for and commitment to their employees’ personal success, whether that be at Amazon or elsewhere.
Well, yes, but to lots of people they use it for the same thing. You can find projects people post online that uses raspberry pi to control a basic motor, which is a bad use of raspberry pi and a horrendous waste of resources. But people do that. You understand the difference but not others.
Sounds like this is a use case where none of size, power & cost matters very much, and faster development is desired. It may even prefer "heavier" libraries if it makes development easier. Which is completely different from most consumer devices and many commercial devices.
Well, if that's true, have to agree raspberry pi may be better than esp32.
So why does HN text look so small under default settings on the desktop, and I always need to zoom to 133% to match the font size on other websites (that require no special treatment)? Am I using the browser wrong, or something is not quite right with HN? I am inclined to think the latter.
And I just want a reasonable font size. On desktop it is miserable -- I always need to zoom to 133% to match the font size I see on other websites. On mobile it is ok.
exactly. Those who think VR headsets are good music teachers probably have never taken any serious music lessons or master any instruments themselves. If you have just taken one month of lesson and have been practicing daily, these things will start to prevent you from making progress, not help you.
(coming from someone who has been taking piano lessons for the past 8 years and have a Quest 3)
May I ask if you play any instruments and taken music lessons for a serious amount of time?
My guess is not, because to me it is obvious you don't understand how this works and are just imagining things.
Speaking as someone who takes private piano lessons and have been practicing daily for the past 8 years:
If this were possible, music teachers would have already been replaced to some extent. But that has not happened yet. AI is not new. VR is not that new. Even without this, just talking about non-personalized, non-VR instructions. Have you seen those websites that "teaches" you piano just by connecting your keyboard to a computer and following instructions? Where are they now? It does not work like that. Maybe for an absolute beginner who has trouble finding a key or fret, but as soon as you get a little bit better it won't work.
Music learning is an extremely personalized experience. People pay 1-1 private lessons because it needs to be done that way. A teacher, especially a good teacher, can tell you exactly what you did wrong and what you should do to get better at it. Plus different teachers often have different opinions of music -- how a piece of music should be interpreted or played. As you get more advanced, you spend even less time on technique itself. Theoretically you could train an AI tutor that does the same thing. But no, it hasn't happen yet and will not happen. Did I mention hallucination? Do you want a teacher that hallucinates?
Plus you need lots of practice -- routines, repetitions, all those scales. AI or VR is just useless. Effective practice strategy is important, but you don't need AI for that.
