This is the first point where I feel like there is some glasses that I actually would want to wear almost.

It's actually the 2rd generation now, or even 3rd for the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2). First generation was Ray-Ban Stories.

> Can you imagine trying to talk to someone face to face, but they are giving you a blank stare as random notifications and tiktok videos are being beamed inbetween their eyeballs and you. They wouldn't do this if the conversation is important to them. Not as much as one would glance on a smartwatch when they get a chirp, which, I believe is perfectly socially acceptable in most business/casual situations. And if the…

Possibly I'm a horrible conversation partner, but even today already it happens with some regularity that someone is checking their phone while I'm in a conversation with them. It's even more common in group conversations. And tacking on some personal experience, I've also noticed when I'm meeting over Zoom (i.e. with the rest of the internet within arm's reach), I get distracted way more easily than when meeting in…

I try to put on a friendly tone and say "I'll continue once you're done with whatever you need to do on your phone". Sometimes it really was something important (the last few seconds of an auction is the common, time-sensitive case) but most of the time they realise the faux pas they committed and are apologetic about it.

I keep reading this but I don't get it: for the same input shouldn't the order of resulting operations be deterministic too?

Not necessarily. This is a good blog post from a few days about it: https://thinkingmachines.ai/blog/defeating-nondeterminism-in...

Fantastic article, thanks!

As someone with a very opinionated 11 year old nephew (so he grew up in the time of ubiquitous social media and he is getting to the age where he starts to understand its upsides and downsides) - I dare say that most children don't hold any grudges against their parents for making digital images and videos of them as babies and storing those on cloud platforms.

your 11 year old nephew is not grown up

Did I ever say that he is?

Totally depends - both my teenage daughters are VERY gunshy of photographs in general, and social media especially. We stopped posting anything relating to them ~8-10 years ago. If we were avidly sharing, they would hate us for it.

It sounds like they don't want you taking and sharing photos of them now, which is very fair. But it's not clear from your description if they judge you or your partner for any baby pics you took of them which ended up in the cloud. That seemed to be the statement of the person I replied to - "One day your children will be your judge when they are grown up, when they realise what you did to them."

It seems like there are a lot of negative comments about Meta's glasses which is surprising to me as a regular user. I bought these both in clear and sunglasses and I love them. I've recorded some of the most amazing videos of my baby with them. Listening to music is fantastic as it's different from regular headphones since you can still hear the world around you — I've even done a few longer bike rides with them and…

For me it's not so much about what those glasses could do for me if I were to wear them... It's what they do to me if someone else wears them.

Watch Zuckerberg proudly showing how his hand gestures are hardly noticeable. So, so creepy.

I wouldn’t be surprised if people wearing these would get confronted, denied entry or beaten up regularly. I can even totally see them ray-banned legally. At least in the EU. Much less with external video processing.

Although I love the idea of AR and the cyberpunk flair, I don’t think these will be a thing because of privacy implications. Nothing has fundamentally changed since Google Glass failure.

So META now has videos of your baby. Let that sink in. Hope they were clothed at least. People never learn. One day your children will be your judge when they are grown up, when they realise what you did to them. I hope it was worth it.

Until a rogue staffer at said cloud platform leaks content.

Bone conduction headphones will give you the same audio experience with better battery life and usb-c charging. I think a lot of people don't want to "feed the beast" and reward Meta for their terrible impact on society.

What brands still make bone conduction headphones?
