I would not call that "extremely noticeable". Perhaps it is extremely noticeable if you are familiar that a company makes normal looking glasses with cameras built in. But if you aren't, you might just assume that is some stylistic part of the glasses and not a tiny lens.


Most people would recognize a gopro, or a security camera, or a phone held in a certain way as something that is recording or likely to be recording.

I don't think most people would recognize the meta glasses as something that could be recording. Especially if you cover or disable the recording LED light that is supposed to come on.


You've got guys like this just doing it on their cell phone, imagine how excited they are for the glasses: https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/arizona-prosecutor-fired-a...

Asking someone to turn around isn't making them turn around. And he asked multiple men and just one woman in the video. In any case - among real life Meta glasses users, who do you think is going to be perved on more - men, or women?

If you judge this video without any kind of context, then yes he is a weirdo harassing strangers who are just trying to go about their day. The point is that these glasses enable this weird behavior, and the people he's filming are (ostensibly) part of that system.


Where is it stated that white people are Aryan?

Oh right, 19th century racial myths


I'm predicting the police will use it to stifle any kind of criticism.

Like: police officer does something racist. Person says "hey, you're racist!". Police officer then gives a $1000 fine to the person for insulting them


I imagine his time at ycombinator as Gríma Wormtongue whispering into theoden's(paulg's) ear

Find me a person who knows about power grid voltage fluctuations and you will have found me a person who has watched Tom Scott's video on the matter

I'm not sure I understand, are you suggesting that Tom Scott made it up?

No, not at all. Just that I've heard maybe 10 people over the years mention ways to harness power grid fluctuations and they all had watched the tom Scott video.

Do you think western AI polemicists have read a lot of Andrew Chi-Chih Yao or Yi Yeng?

Rust is for devs who think "if only c++ had a few more features, it would be perfect". Zig is for devs who think "if only C had fewer features, it would be perfect"

ironically rust has fewer features than c++ and zig has more than c

Give it a chance! Rust hasn't even had its bar mitzvah yet and C++ is already buying a Porsche during its midlife crisis.

Yes, on paper zig has more features than C, but what zig has is explicitness. C has a big murky space of implicitness. For example, there might be 5 different zig features which can be used at various times you might use a void* in C, buy the conceptual space of void* fully contains(and then some) the spaces of those zig features.


Everything has less features than c++. There's probably no spec that's more bloated with all the (unimplemented) junk that has been piled onto it.
