Meta is also trying to commoditize AR hardware interestingly enough by releasing their Quest operating system to third parties like samsung.
I could write a whole nother article on that phenomenon as I have developed VR apps myself.
Or, they could "solve" it by installing extra screens on the walls showing ads for package holidays. Of course, that would raise the temperature inside, but it's something that could be solved with extra AC, which would need large batteries and more frequent stops, but that could be solved by... seems to be the way of "innovation" these days, we no longer fix what's broken, but break what works and charge extra for it.
Just pointing out that while you apparently feel you're living in a dystopia, I don't feel the same. Things aren't perfect but they're definitely not dystopian from my point of view. And come on, who doesn't enjoy being snarky now and then?
And it could be that you don’t live in dystopia, but lack the willpower or observational acumen to acknowledge it. Perhaps instead of slinging weak insults and complaining about dystopian life, you should go do something about it?
Neither of us know anything about how the other lives. It's entirely plausible that either of us could be in total denial of our surroundings (which is a recurring personality in the VC/entrepreneurial sphere).
I mean, global warming, war in Europe, russia/NK/China/Iran attacking democracies, financial equality, unaffordable housing across the globe and everything keeps getting worse and not better but we just keep on buying new iPhones every year - not realizing that we live in dystopian world is delusional. I have plenty of hobbies, volunteering for 2 nonprofits in 2 different cities and enjoying life, but I do realize that I’m very much privileged even though I live from paycheck to paycheck.
Global warming sucks, but I’ve become personally invested in doing my little part to fight it and to push for green alternatives in my town, among my friends and family, etc. I could choose to despair about how humans as a whole may never take enough action, or should’ve taken more action 40 years ago, but dooming doesn’t help anyone. Instead I’m excited about all of the new ideas, ingenuity and technology developed to fight global warming and climate change every day.
War has always been a constant throughout human history, today is no different. I don’t think it’s very dystopian. I’m glad I’m on the side that stands for liberty and democracy, and I wish we could do more for Ukraine right now. That said, I rate the risk of WWIII pretty low, and the same for nuclear war — especially after Iran’s attack on Israel led to nothing.
I don’t have much to say about financial inequality, but unaffordable housing is probably the most dystopian thing you’ve listed. I’m from a small town where it isn’t too bad of a problem (houses are around 300k [1] for reference) so I don’t have much experience with this. I can see how this could make a lot of young people despair.
So all that to say: I’m not delusional — and I’d appreciate it if you don’t call me so. I’m aware of the problems that we all face, I just don’t think they’re so insurmountable as to say we’re living in a dystopia. I have a lot of hope for the human race.

I am not angry, I just observe trends that started with the realisation that raw materials can be sold for more if they are transformed into products. The unbound inventiveness of the human race never ceases to amaze me, but I also see how some of it develops along paths that result in solutions which are overly complex and require even more complex solutions to "fix" them.
I gave your site a mention/link on my Galileo/Turbo Nutter thread yesterday - I still visit your site occasionally, so I'd just like to thank you for all the work you did on that. It really was a very useful and pioneering resource (and remains so to this day, for people with an interest in Acorn history).
So I guess this opens the question of which part really covers MLOps; I would love to see those but some strike me heavily as being part of the model development and training. I somewhat, in my simple mind always got stuck on the Ops in a “how to keep the system rolling” kind of way.
“level triggered” vs “edge triggered” is the kubernetes term for stateless vs stateful. It’s one of the reasons why any cluster configuration drift becomes eventually consistent with desired state.
This is a more friendly presentation of the same data, though note there’s a lag in the ONS data as it’s from ongoing sampling rather than self reported tests. At time of writing this is up to 30 July (next update 6 August):
