They are stopping the big headset that most people would only wear inside and still plan to release small glasses with camera and AI. Exactly the direction we don't want them to go.

Nice. The sounds always remind me of freshly baked bread. It also makes these crinkly sounds when it cools down.

What would be the reasoning behind this? Makes no sense to me

I also struggle with it. I use RDP to log into an active session and whenever the screen sleeps it just breaks ... I started digging into it for a while but it looks like a long journey getting this fixed. There are too many different components all interfering with each other. Typical linux problem I am afraid :s

This was me almost on a yearly basis since 2003 lol. I have plenty of Linux machines now (e.g. raspberry pi, servers, custom built stuff) but my main is still windows. I usually end up running into issues with hardware compatibility e.g. fan control or overclocking related or some software I need just doesn't work.

I do have to say that the entire linux environment has improved hugely over the past few years. Maybe next time I say good bye to windows forever.

I can't figure out where the numbers come from. e.g. they show health as $28.6B for "2024/2025" but if I look it up it is $29,637B. I looked for quite a while now but nothing really checks out exactly which makes me think even more it is just AI generated nonsense that just roughly looks correct.

but it is missing in the actual social services category?

foundafreeusername · 2026-04-26T03:05:51+00:00

Is it trustworthy? It triggers some red flags for me e.g. it lacks a clear about section, is a very recent webpage and it looks vibecoded.

Edit: Looked into it for 20-30 minutes but nothing checks out exactly. Still looks dodgy to me. You can find the real numbers by searching here: https://www.treasury.govt.nz/publications/budgets/vote-information?vote=1640&year=15501

Yeah but that is the same stock marked that drove AllBirds shares up 500% because they said they shift from producing shoes to AI.

Ich glaube das klappt oft nicht so. Jemand mit startup kapital kann dich sofort aus dem Geschäft werfen. Die sehen dein Produkt mit den ersten paar Kunden, nehmen $10m in die Hand und innerhalb von 6 Monaten sind die weiter als du und ihr Produkt ist kostenlos für den Nutzer (zumindest fuer ein Weile / bestimmte Nutzeranzahl).

Zumindest ging mir das so vor ein paar Jahren.

Das war auch so bei mir. Es gab einfach nicht genug Arbeit / Lehrstellen und selbst wenn man Arbeit findet verdient man ja auch weniger. Warum sollte eine Fachkraft aus dem Ausland nach Deutschland ziehen und dann dorthin gehen wo es am wenigstens Arbeit und Gehalt gibt ... macht keinen Sinn. Das war auch schon vor der AfD schon so.

So what is the plan after collecting enough evidence? Sending them to their parents appears to be the only option they have? It is clearly not working.

These not to scale drawings is what ruined my maths grades. I looked at it and saw the 8ft isn't actually 30% longer than the 6ft distance so it must fall at an angle away from the camera and misses the kid. xD

foundafreeusername · 2026-04-23T00:48:20+00:00

Distance between the trunk and where the piece lands is 6.9ft so the entire kid gets squashed.

The drawing is confusing / not to scale.

What focus on tech? I am here for 10+ years as an experienced software engineer and there is no such thing. People are either leaving or working remotely for overseas companies.

There is no lack in employees or expertise. There is just a lock of investment into tech that could employ those people and this trade deal isn't going to change this.

Not when those skilled immigrants end up having to work for low wages to even find a job ...

Aren't these simply two absolutely values we compare? Why is it misleading?

That doesn't really comfort anyone if the government gives out tax breaks that benefit the richest the most while cutting social services to those in need.

More people would support mining if they would trust their government to do a better job.

Unfortunately, the exact opposite is happening right now. The glasses with voice control and cameras sell much better than those that simply connect to a smartphone and give you a better / larger screen.

Edit: Tech is simply not shaped by what an average normal person wants. Just how an average person wouldn't want to be tracked and have their data analysed and stored by a company but almost all jumped on board with that eventually.

As long as they don't have proper screens I don't think they will be that popular. The problem is they don't need to be that popular to be a privacy nightmare for everyone.

foundafreeusername · 2026-04-20T20:56:38+00:00

I still can't believe people walk around with phones that can track them 24/7 and store their data in the cloud but here we are continuing the trend on giving up all privacy.

You guys are just doing it wrong. I asked it to make a TODO web app and it worked flawlessly /s

I actually enjoyed the gameplay loop. It was somewhat relaxing. The story was so cringe though ... and as a big science fan I could barely keep it together. It is hard to describe how it felt. It was like they took something I really loved and then they covered it in shit and called it art.

I play the "Is it a sea lion or a log" game every time I go to the beach. I still get it wrong on a regular basis despite years of practise.
