someone please explain why Liquid Glass has been given such priority if this is the case?

and if you say “glasses are coming and will take over” i just really don’t believe it. people Do Not Want AR glasses for everyday use! Shout it from the rooftops!

Yea what’s your reason or source for this claim? I think meta themselves were surprised by the market reception of ray ban metas, and Apple is completely pivoting in response to the latest AR glasses release from Meta so those two facts alone seem to negate your claim.

I absolutely do, I just don't want to wear BCGs.

Same reason Microsoft pushed Tiles so hard during Windows 8-10 while their phone effort was faltering.

This argument that “convenience makes you weak” can be taken all the way to “real programmers write assembly” or “binary is the one true path”.

On the other end it’s also “I’ll vibe code it bruh”.

So we land at the eternally wise YMMV.

You’re in a tough spot. Loneliness can make people act in ways that others are put off by. You can end up trying to pull people in to help salve the pain you feel. It can perpetuate itself despite your effort.

I heard a saying once that is a hard truth that stuck with me. “If you want to be loved, be loveable.” Take stock of yourself and your confidence. Choose some areas for growth and accomplishment that you can get after independently. You’re in college so it’s a great time to build yourself with intention.

For example, learn to play music. Get into a sport. Find your interests and get after them with gusto.

Skills and interests will give opportunity for connection not just with people but with yourself. You can be so much more than you are today.

The book “Do Fathers Matter?” by Paul Raeburn talks about this and is a good read, especially if you are a new dad and question your significance.

HN should relate to metal because it’s just nerds who have taken a different path. You could say computer nerds are intellectual nerds, and metalheads are emotional nerds who love the music made by music nerds.

the cool people are elsewhere

Study link?

Seems most likely this one: "Gut dysbiosis leads to cognitive decline through CNTF-mediated activation of microglia in mice" https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12915-025-02454-x

The underlying mechanism seems applicable to humans too, but it's annoyingly ironic that the paper mentions mice in the title clearly and doesn't even mention humans, and the article doesn't mention mice even once.

The protocol should be that they hand off the prompts/context and not the generated code.

This just feels like a tremendous missing piece to LLMs. Looking forward to seeing it in action.

This is just another example of getting the actual problem wrong.

When he says "billionaires making more billions" it's really off the mark. These people are not forcing AI down our throats to make billions.

They are doing it so they can win.

Winning means victory in a zero sum game. This is a game that is zero sum because the people that play it think that way. However, the point is not to make money. That's a side effect.

They want to win so the other guys don't. That means power, growth, prestige, and winning. Winning just to win.

Once people start to understand that this is the prime directive for the elite in the tech business, the easier it is for everyone to defend against it.

The way you defend against it is to make it non-zero sum. Spread the ideas out. Give people choices. Act more like Tim Berners Lee and less like Zuck. This will mean less money, sure, but more to the point, it deprives anyone of being "the winner". We should all celebrate any moves that take power away from the few and redistribute it to many. Money will be made in the process, but that's okay.
