At best this may help scaling up production of the necessary components (in particular the displays)

It should be marketed as a dev kit, but they're marketing it for consumers

It feels very much like most stuff that's likely to be developed for it will have the feel of "museum exhibit at home" or AR-ified iOS app.

The inability to use any controller is going to lose them a lot of latency and precision sensitive usecases. It is very Apple to make it totally standalone, but it's going to cost them a fair bit.

A lot of real time remote control usecases will be impossible for latency issues alone, it won't be a good solution in most multiuser environments (both due to no relative tracking, but also cost and hygiene issues for shared devices), it won't be great for bringing into public spaces (poor long range tracking, etc) or small spaces (limits gestures), hand tracking camera position means you have to hold your hands up and mostly open (accessibility issues), etc.

Even if the hardware can do more, Apple won't give developers access to more.

Some people have hourly electric pricing, in their case it's worth scheduling stuff based on predicted pricing. How that should work is that you'd have a home server which controls your IoT stuff (so the gadgets themselves can be firewalled from the internet and controlled only by you) and then your server would fetch pricing data and pause stuff that doesn't need to run when prices are high and run stuff like washing when it's cheap

Humans will need to use digital signatures eventually. Chains of verifiable claims from real humans would be used. Still doesn't prove anything by itself, but it saves a ton of effort. That, plus verifiable timestamping.

Provenance. Track the origin.

A deb file will "run" in the package manager process space, it doesn't need to be executable on its own

There's still ways but not trivial. You have to do multifactor analysis, but it's gonna have a ton of noise unless you have a large sample of different people with recurring "neoantigens". It's similar to how drug side effects are tracked for people who take multiple medicines, you compare against populations which share different combinations of the same factors.

It seems like a mix. Part from organ damage, part from misbehaving immune response in some people

[–] Natanael@slrpnk.net 14 points 2 years ago

It's not necessarily impossible to target prions but it doesn't seem trivial. The reason they're dangerous is specifically the incorrect shape because that shape changes interaction behavior with other biological molecules, and immune cells could theoretically test for that change in interaction. But that's more complicated than regular molecule recognition which immune cells normally do. There's probably research in trying to make immune cells handle that too, but I haven't seen any articles about it.

Because the moderation tools aren't ready for opening it up fully. You can already clone the code and run your own servers

They'd have to do that in custom feeds (which people can ignore) or on 3rd party account servers (which people also can ignore, just like in Mastodon)
