The Thunderbolt specs define minimum quantities of connectable external displays. Thunderbolt 3 requires support for 1+ connected displays, Thunderbolt 4 for 2+. Apple creates an artificial restriction for profit reasons, and does not equip MBA with Thunderbolt 4 as a result.

It's probably a good thing that the exclusion zone hasn't become a breeding ground for mutant radiation-resistant bacteria.
That happened already when people got iPhones. Going out to a bar changed from socializing with others into people sitting at the same table playing with their phone. I remember the first time it happened - one of the last time I actually went out to a bar.

Going to a show has turned into watching thousands of people record the show on their iPhones. It's great that I can now watch those videos with a VR headset I guess?

Even then, it's also down to the interpretation of "stolen" ... does a "cabal" of journalists and technologists working to "defend the election" by shaping the news and opinion stories that get spread vs stopped count? Does changing election practice in violation of a state's constitution count?

It's also worth considering it isn't even just one side, in 2019-2020 Hillary was still saying the election was stolen from her.

Note: I was working for an election services company over the 2020 election cycle and saw coworkers and even myself seeing death threats. I still think there were a lot of at least suspicious things across the country. In the end, the lack of trust in media/news and the government is pretty well deserved all around.

Apples innovations are often in making things that other people have tried before and making them polished and usable.

So, despite it being failed in Android; it'll probably work well in Apples ecosystem. -- Apples true innovations (3D touch for example) have a much higher chance of not being used and going away.

Importantly, you don't have to convince yourself that you don't meet the Howey test. At the end of the day, if it comes to it, you have to convince a judge while they are being also courted by an adversarial party.

It doesn't matter what your company's interpretation is if a judge says "nah dog that isn't right".

What matters is whether you genuinely believe your interpretation is reasonable

I don't think any of these crypto companies have ever believed they could convince a judge, hence all the hemming and hawing in the public sphere in an attempt to build pressure against the SEC to either give them an out by making a very specific statement that they can work around, or by getting an administration to push the SEC to ignore all the bad stuff in crypto land.
> Neither Google nor the handset vendors nor the carriers give a shit about UX, they've structured things so that you're kind of forced to go with them anyway.

Carriers don't really contribute much to the UI or force you to use a particular phone. This comment doesn't make any sense.
Couldn't agree more- the technology just doesn't exist to deliver something of this sort in a way that doesn't come across as dystopian, which is unfortunate. They'll definitely iterate to bring it to a more seamless solution that seems less like going into a different world and ignoring reality.
I definitely can’t imagine myself with this thing on doing office work. Maybe the adult industry would embrace it though…

Most of the exclusion zone is pretty low levels of radiation so I'm not sure how effective those are other than that they're an elevated background level. The FDA says <2 kGy delays sprouting of vegatables and fruit aging 1-10 kGy decreases the levels of bacteria and >10 kGy is used for actual sterilization. Most of the zone is <1 Sv/h so you need 10k hours or more to get above the 10 kGy used for sterilization.

In Ruby-on-Rails it's part of the authentication framework Devise https://github.com/tinfoil/devise-two-factor and related modules including creating QR codes, backup codes etc. PHP Laraval has similar libraries https://jetstream.laravel.com/2.x/features/two-factor-authen...

Auth0 and similar commercial companies might very good at marketing. Try replacing "API" with "library" or a programming language name.

> It's just not valuable enough for anyone to create

For a commercial API you need to charge $10 USD/month, or equivalent in terms of per-API-call, otherwise your service won't be profitable. You call 5 US cent already expensive, so I think you're right, it's not valuable enough.

Thanks for taking the time to find this.
There's also the I/O ports (PCI has three address spaces: configuration, memory, and I/O, with the I/O space being a legacy x86 thing which does not exist on ARM and most other CPU architectures), which some cards might require; and the PCI address window (BAR space), which might be too small for some cards (usually GPUs; see for instance https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2020/external-gpus-and-ras... for a couple of examples where it was too small.
The identity of the "whistleblower" doesn't change the fact that it is EXTREMELY unlikely that this has been claimed to have happened in multiple countries over multiple decades and yet there is not a single picture that doesn't look like it was taken with a potato. There is not a single sample of material. None of the craft has ever fallen into civilian hands. All of the involved governments have been able to keep it a secret.

As I'm sure all of you are aware, all of this is statistically improbable to the point that it can likely be safely considered to be untrue. If we're considering probabilities, I think it's far more likely that the US Government is running some kind of psychological operation.
Rev 1 is going to do ok as developers figure it out, rev 2 is going to completely own the AR/VR space.

Watching the announcement video, Apple is claiming that the rendering is sharp enough to display text sharply, implying that Vision Pro will be useful for productivity applications (using Excel or chat in VR without any monitors).

Here's to hoping that they'll allow us to replace our monitors with unlimited arbitrarily sized VR displays.

EDIT: Whoa, at a price of $3500, I guess they've got the price room to embed all kinds of crazy optics; that's a pretty eye-watering price.

LLMO – An LLM pair programmer in your terminal
Hello HN!

LLMO (Elmo) is an AI pair programming tool I created that's become an indispensable part of my workflow.

LLMO is designed to meet you where you are – your terminal. It provides real-time, interactive programming assistance. With its "staging area" feature, you can keep files in the context window and update the AI about your ongoing coding tasks without the hassle of copying and pasting every time you make changes to your code.

Key features include:
- Interactive Chat: Get real-time programming assistance directly in your terminal.
- Staging Area: No need to copy and paste updates. Simply add your files to the AI's context.
- Model Customization: Choose the OpenAI model that fits your needs.
- Personality: By default, Elmo loves to make bodybuilding references. You can turn this off through a CLI flag or environment variable

The recommended way to install LLMO is via `pipx install llmo` https://pypa.github.io/pipx/

As a sidenote, LLMO uses Textual which runs the terminal in application mode, meaning that you can't simply copy content as you would normally. In iterm2, you can hold down the `option` key to select text. You'll need to refer to the documentation for your own terminal for more information.

I hope you find LLMO as useful as I have!
Bump predated that and was available on both iPhone and Android which is what the OP in this thread was almost certainly referring to since that's the app they named.
"For weight purposes, an external battery will sit in your pocket and connect to the Vision Pro through a cable."

Interesting choice... can't say I am a fan

"The headset's visionOS operating system can be controlled in a "fully 3D interface" without a handheld controller. It solely uses your eyes, hands, and voice as an interface, and the unit lets you "control the system simply by looking."

An interesting decision. Hand and finger tracking has been getting really good, but for lots of applications having controllers is still helpful.

Overall, seems they are targeting AR way harder than VR, which is probably smart.
I'm not that old lol, was wondering specifically what they were
they'll become digital, like a cryptocoin.

the push to cashless USD is here and won't be going away

but what does the cashless evolution mean for wage based economy? I'm still thinking through this, but the future is catching up and it seems I will only have to wait some more before circumstances of life and the world force this upon the public; so I don't think I have to actually think through what this means... this will become the brave new society in which I'll die (assuming I survive the transition)

also, let's keep in mind the dollars like the ones you refer too, which "wont' be going away" were re-invented around the 70s, during the nixon administration, when gold was thrown out of the equation completely. but this ain't about metallic elements
This seems like a device that could kill the monitor.

If you're upgrading your workstation to that new Mac Pro, do you get one big 5k display? Or get this headset, and have an array of displays in high resolution with built-in spatial 3D that follow you anywhere and don't take up any physical space.
Seems there are couple paths. Some goes full "sugaring" relationships in VRC, others go for stereo 3DoF porn, most loves them as interior decorations and few uses for other use-cases as industrial design and/or gaming.
You have to buy a dongle to connect the new lenses too. /s
I don't really think Zuck and Meta are any competition for this - will this end Meta's AR/VR prospects?
Nudity detection
There's consistent use of Result and Option in std, community agreement to do things that way, and it's pretty easy to use them.

Tons of stuff in std and many other crates don't use async. A lot of stuff is harder and more code to do async. A lot of it is much harder to read.

That's the difference.
It's also worth noting that Ukraine gets 5-10 days of rain per month year around (or snow or other precipitation), and the driest month is comparable with San Francisco's October in terms of total precipitation.

No humans messing around plays a big role, but everything being wet most of the time certainly helps.
So can you type? I don't want to speak into a room when filling in a private text form.
Shared passwords/passkeys comes pretty close to eliminating my need for a 1Password subscription. But it kinda depends on what other login-associated details Apple lets you put together with the password.
Yes there will be a sort of primitive recording of experiences that you can share with other people using VisionPro(tm).
I am not an expert in this area, but I've worked around its edges, and video has always struck me as one of tech's great HARD problems. It's a really frustrating combination of: meant for human consumption, difficult to characterize algorithmically, realtime, having a distinct future temporal envelope, etc. The problem is precisely that many people want to many different things with video - and depending on what you want to do with it you may prefer an entirely different stack!

I almost want to compare it to making good vaccines in the medical world - some of the most beneficial work to all parties, but also some of the least commercially rewarding.
This is very different though - it completely covers much of your face and there is no comparable device that is used in public, whereas AirPods are more or less the same design that we’ve seen in earphones for decades only without a cable.
So this is a VR headset and not AR? Or does it also do AR? They haven't shown that yet.

I was really hoping for AR centric device, like a vastly superior Google Glass. VR isn't exactly revolutionary at this point.
Finally! We bought an AirTag to put on the dog, and it was disappointing that only one of us could see it. Hopefully, they also solve the issue with it beeping randomly to alert of tracking so that it doesn't beep when it's with anyone in the family.
I'm skeptical as well... all this VR/AR hype has yet to deliver something... anything... anything at all... It's been years since I trying a VR headset at a friend's place and I distinctively remember thinking "this is useless... cool, but useless". I have yet to walk into someones place and not see one of these things gathering dust in a corner...

Perhaps the only time I actually felt like getting one was when I got hooked into Elite Dangerous, but these days I don't have time for it anyway... so, yeah.

Now could this be solution for large scale carbon capture? Seed massive amounts of forested areas with radioactive material? So we could prevent large mass of bio material from decomposing and thus releasing carbondioxide?
Most early-career researchers are not working on their own individual "widget". Rather, they're working under another more senior researcher on a widget they have relatively little personal stake in.
Good point. Things are weird until they're normalized- just look at what happened with the airpods
In the US, news and reporting was largely a loss leader for TV stations. It was done because they were required to do so. The likes of 60-minutes long format content changed that when it was successful for advertising. This shaped news for the worse imo. I think CNN largely started in a similar way, meant to simply be constant reporting and re-reporting of news, and think the constant display of the Gulf War is likely what changed that for them.
> some other probable causes (fake passports)

Forging passports is a serious crime.
I've liked the presentation more than I expected; not that I'm 100% sold, but previously I hadn't even considered getting one at all.
I'm surprised that isn't a larger number. I rarely see major brands on Twitter anymore, which isn't surprising given how likely you are to be placed next to really brand-unsafe content. I guess they are going for a quantity, based on the massive influx of cheap Chinese knockoffs and grey area ads I have mostly been seeing.
Its a VR headset with external cameras, so that it can be used primarily for AR.

But with the headset on, you are definitely looking at a screen. not looking through the headset.
SimulaVR's been trying to do this for some time.
So, all revolutionary Apple products have one thing in common: they are easy to use and work out of the box without further expansions/extras from their version 1.0 on.

Ipod: it just works. No need to swap AA batteries any more.

MBP: light and powerful, all in one.

Iphone: the whole internet in my pocket.

But, Vision Pro Headset doesn’t feel like that. The cable that goes behind… awful. You use glasses, oh well, then the headset won’t work out of the box until you buy the appropriate lenses for it. 2h of battery… well, I guess it will stay more time connected to the charger than in use.

I know, they’ll improve it substantially in v2… but my point is: if v1 is not good enough, then perhaps v2 would never come to life.
Never thought of that! I do cad design for fun (3d printing/lasercutting). Not sure how actually being in the design itself would help. Although it might feel natural to just move your head around when you are in the middle of a design.

Downside is that a lot of work still is 2d: browsing websites for information. And even casual distraction like reading news, browsing sneakers…

Measuring stuff to make the product fit, requires removal of the headset. Although that might actually be done with vr if it is accurate enough (0.1 mm). Interesting.
> Improvements to Autocorrect and Dictation Deliver More Intelligent Input

Yet I bet they still won't add any additional languages for the swipe gesture, or allow multiple language predictions...

If it's really that good, it seems like there's a strong case to make for buying one of these instead of a display panel upgrade. 3 quality 4k monitors is pretty pricey - and take up a lot of physical space when not in use, can't follow you anywhere, etc.
If you need RAM more than you need compute maybe? The M1 Ultra was much slower than the 3090, and by all accounts the 4090 made a significantly bigger step forward in performance over the 3090 than the M2 Ultra does over the M1 Ultra.

I still wish for this on almost a daily basis. Maybe Android still has it, but no one uses it anymore except me :(
"Where you look stays private"

I have wondered how the temptation to share this sort of data with advertisers, movie platforms, etc. would work. Obviously there would be tremendous value in being able to guarantee that someone saw an advertisement, or to see when people are getting bored during a movie. But I wouldn't use any device that shares eye-tracking data.
Is it overkill? I use all 32 of my CPU cores when building C++ or Go, and while fuzz testing. I'd take 64 if I could get them. There is no reason why I'd ever want fewer cores, even if it doesn't make Chrome or Emacs any faster. Latency is crucial during the edit/compile/debug cycle; making compile as close to 0 as possible is always a productivity win.

Finally if you think Intel power saving is bad, wait until you see AMD's. My Threadripper system idles at 270W. This is exceedingly wasteful. Before upgrading to a Threadripper I had an i7-6950X which idled under 100W. The difference is quite noticeable.
It was presented as an AR headset.
