I wonder if him not having worked on Apple Vision for the last >1.5 years means they distanced themselves from his "vision, strategy and direction" or even gave up on it.
Target market : young people (so not the majority of commentators)

Target market : rich people (again...)

Enterprise market : military / financial services & trading / cyber defence

I think that they will hit the intersection of rich and young; and they will also get traction from their enterprise niches. This will create a beach head for developers and an onramp that doens't rely on someone just pouring money into it all endlessly.

If the market doesn't grow and evolve then it'll be clear that consumers don't want this, there will be no excuses like "wait for better kit, better designs, a functioning market"...
1/2000 of a football field, give or take
> The movie market is comparable to the book market, probably larger

Only for a handful of titles though.

Most movies lose money, they sell very little if not nothing at all.

Most books don't sell as well, but it costed a very tiny fraction of the cost of a movie production to publish them.

It's mostly a single person in their homes in their spare time.

> Therefore the effort people put into making the complicated products pay off despite the initial expense

The initial point was that most can't afford the more complicated products, but can still produce useful low tech manuals. It's doubtful that the high tech version of the manual would drive more sales, because the product in this case is not the manual, but the furniture (or whatever else).

The AR/VR manual could cost more than the actual product to make.
There are hundreds millions of lines of code required to do extremely basic things in everyday computing. Most of it should be thrown out, but most will not be, it will just accumulate and bog us all down until it becomes unworkable to continue like this.
Why even vote. Why not let just about anyone to sign up and then randomly pick representatives.

On average could lead to decent representation of population.
If it doesn’t blow me away, I won’t do it. But I think it will blow me away. Apple rarely disappoints on the experience by the time they launch something, in my experience anyhow.
Password managers makes the user life easier, at a big price if the master password gets compromised, as all the passwords get compromised at same time, in an unified way that by other methods would require much more specialization and effort for to gather together.

If that passwords are stored in internet even worst, one can take for sure those passw-managing servers are juicy targets, it is a countdown until the server will get compromised.

If the user is only storing the pass of chat forums, I think then is one thing the attacker probably will ignore, if the reverse engineering of one of those sites using user's name is not in the secondary target list.

Anyway, to use a unique password for every server, account, etc is a must do from the beginning of time, even for the temporal forum one had to register for to use a few minutes. It is the first computing directive. It's just the password managers are not accomplishing the objective of such directive.
Completely prohibited is not what they say is it? Is it not wait until 8'th grade to get your own. Meaning you can borrow your parents or similar.
I think what you're describing speaks more to Apple's marketing prowess than whether AirPods are overpriced or not.
The features that didn’t get discussed onstage at WWDC
Absolutely. 1Password is betting heavily on being the passkey clearing house for enterprise. I think what Apple is doing here is saying that companies like 1Password can do this for their flavor of WebAuthn too.

Other companies have been developing VR along with gamers and whatnot for a long while now, especially with the explosion that Vive/VRChat enabled, etc.

As per usual Apple hops on the bandwagon late, doesn't contribute much to any new tech/software developments, creates a locked down platform with a stupid special name "spatial" "retina" etc.

The VR desktop already exists. There's an entire ecosystem already, and like other ecosystems certain things don't exist or aren't used at the moment because there's no good reason to, or they lack finesse. People don't use virtual desktops because it's annoying to wear a VR headset and interaction with virtual objects isn't as fine-tuned.

We're not waiting for Apple for this, we're waiting for an extremely lightweight, comfortable pair of glasses for VR and some gloves or other interaction device that makes it natural and easy and then we'll see the virtual desktop come to light.

Apple has solved none of these problems. But omg it has an Apple logo on it.

"a revolutionary spatial computer" absolute BS, nothing revolutionary about it.

"“Today marks the beginning of a new era for computing,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “Just as the Mac introduced us to personal computing, and iPhone introduced us to mobile computing, Apple Vision Pro introduces us to spatial computing." BS, VR/AR has been around for a long time now, with many offerings that Apple's doesn't really differ from.

Tbh I give up. Their entire press release if full of the regular Apple crap "innovative" "most advanced" "best materials" bla bla bla, I can't believe people eat this stuff up. I'm not even working in the VR/AR space & it irks me, can't imagine how people who've been hard at work progressing a tech only to have charlatan Apple step in must feel.
I was an original crowd-funder of the Pandora. Waited years (three, I think) for mine to turn up, by which time my interest in that sort of thing had waned, and it was also out-of-date and felt pretty like a first attempt in terms of build quality, etc. It had what I would now consider to be "alibaba" build quality. Not great, but not terrible. I have reasonably high standards for build quality, and I was disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't thinking Macbook Pro build quality, but was expecting mid-range laptop build quality. This felt like a cheap device in comparison.

I sold mine on eBay at a time that there was still a huge waiting list, so made a fair bit on it - IIRC I doubled my money, having sold it within a week of it arriving.

The pyra website seems to still be working to the same formula, and looks to be taking pre-orders - very much like back whenever the Pandora was a thing!

This is version 1.0. I imagine down the road there will be larger batteries and greater power efficiency. But for desk workers using AR goggles for “laptop work,” you’re usually near a power outlet anyway.

There is a video [1] benchmarking last year's M1 Ultra against 3080ti for one ML use case and it was 3x slower. Apple MX does have neural engines which are used but not sure how they compare to CUDA cores.

Either way quite a bit better than 30x slower.

With very thick books like those, debinding is necessary even just to get a good straight scan.
A good chunk of the more interesting code I've seen around is usually attributed to someone from Russia or the Eastern Bloc. Doesn't seem weird to me at all. It isn't Siberia in a literal sense but I think this was the point trying to be made.
At the end of the day, any system used in the real world is going to have "lore", odd quirks that only exist because of historical reasons. Sure we can try to prevent it with good programming practices, but some things are usually only obvious in hindsight, and the real world is messy.

> Apple are *now* allowing external sync

There is no guarantee that this will be permanent. It can be revoked citing x number of reasons.

Also, lets wait until the implementation details are available.
If it requires providers having a native app on the device where Apple has control on who and what to allow, there's only an illusion of choice.
This, and we can say the same of the current present where, we, people behaves like zombies watching our own mobile phones without looking at the faces around. Not saying that this is a good future but the technology is sound and Apple execution excels and is well integrated within their ecosystem.
Neurons are very complex and not just on/off switches. We can't even fully simulate the ~300 neurons of c. elegans, not even close.
Wonder where that meme came from. And the conservatives further up the thread are accusing me of falling for pro-Ukraine propaganda.
"what well known"

Goofle has launched a ton more products.

Google didn't kill things just for fun and definitely NOT to see if it sticks or not.

People had real issues with glasses. People were even attacked because others didn't like the idea of being potentially filmed. It was a proper flop and no google didn't do that to see if they stick.

The same with the nexus loudspeaker: it was too expensive at that time, the feedback was bad.

Google+=was also not successful.
It's 4k per eye. That's great compared to current headsets, but please remember that the screen of your normal screen likely already has 4k, and that's just a rectangle a few cm of everything you see. The 4k per eye means that it's likely going to be <fullhd depending on just how gigantic you want to make the screens

It could be great, but productivity will likely need over 4k per eye to be anything beyond a novelty.

Depending on how the hardware develops, it could become something great for sure. most people calling it a novelty are taking about the device as it's been announced, not the theoretical future it could potentially have if it was different.
Ah, the world without humans!
> At a theoretical level, this confirmation is significant because it is the first clear demonstration of a real perceptual computational advantage of psychedelic states of consciousness.

This is a pretty strong claim, considering that while psychedelic states of consciousness do allow you to see these messages, they also have a lot of other side effects.

I'm pretty sure you can do the reverse too, create a message which can only be seen in a normal state of consciousness - for example you use the same tracer phenomenon to obscure instead of to reveal the message.

So a psychedelic state is not strictly superior to normal state, it's just different.
I agree that using argc is better than null termination, but I don't understand how any of the bugs related to argc==0 are about null termination.

Note that the buggy code behind CVE-2021-4034 literally uses argc, not null termination.
> apple released

rebranded, apple rebranded outside products just like their Laser printers were always outside products (Canon engine with Adaptec RIP).
There are three things I expect to find in mailing list discussions before going off and reading them:

* Someone suggests that the kernel return EINVAL for null or zero-length argument vector. Someone else then comes up with a mad but very real mainstream program that relies upon the system call succeeding.

* Someone points out that the SUS requires that argv[0] be non-null. Someone else tries to weasel a difference between "shall" and "should", overlooking the SUS rationale that the leeway given is in the string contents, not that it is permitted to be outright null.

* Someone suggests in all seriousness that this behaviour be retained for historical compatibility.

For reference:

* FreeBSD just returns EINVAL for a zero-length argument vector, https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commit/773fa8cd136a57... . This came from OpenBSD.

* A null argument vector has been EFAULT in FreeBSD since 2004, when someone noticed that the manual disallowed this, https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commit/7700eb86e7740c... .

* DragonFly BSD has been fixing up a zero-length argument vector by adding in a dummy non-null argv[0] since 2005, https://github.com/DragonFlyBSD/DragonFlyBSD/commit/66be6566... . It introduced EFAULT for a null argument vector at the same time.

* Illumos has returned EFAULT for a null argument vector since at least the point when it went open-source in 2005.
Who owns a community? The individuals who contribute to it, or the organizations that foot the file hosting bill?

Vision is a wrong envirenment for the messages which can only be understood under the influence, try sound.
Maybe that, but also the Nvidia chips have *vastly* higher performance (see https://resources.nvidia.com/en-us-grace-cpu/grace-hopper-su...). They claim 4 TB/s memory bandwidth and up to 989 single-precision TFlops in tensor mode (67 TFlops for non-tensor ops).

By contrast, M2 Ultra has 800 GB/s memory bandwidth, 31.6 half-precision TFlops in the Neural Engine, and (extrapolating from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_M2), about 27 single-precision TFlops on the GPU.

So 5x memory bandwidth, more than double generic throughput, and at least 32x peak tensor throughput. Sure, the Mac Studio uses much less power, but depending on the application that usually doesn't make up for the speed difference.
Safari was the killer app for the iPhone and iPad & it’s where people spend an awful lot of their time.

This is a general purpose computing device, so seeing it have a great browser setup is a big deal.
> So the harm could be CT scans, biopsies, colonoscopies

Colonoscopy is low risk, but not no risk, and there are plenty of people who have a colonoscopy that goes wrong and bamn they're taken for surgery, anaesthetised, have part of their colon removed, and maybe have a (sometimes temporary) stoma fitted. Anaesthesia is not low risk.

Over-testing leads to over-diagnosis which causes over-treatment, and that causes harm.
What would something like that cost?
Reading the article before answering would be helpful.

The author specifically says that it can be useful for bootstrapping a project, like what you mention, but not useful in your day to day work.
> he also learned java programming apparently

"Learn Java in Six Days". That sounds like "I lost 10Kg in two weeks".

Sure, you can learn the basics of Java in six days, I suppose; but you certainly never needed to go to India to do it. I was thrown in the deep end with Java; from a standing start, I had to create production software in two months. I delivered, but the code I wrote was shit.

And I had no training at all; there was no time. I learned using online resources.

[Edit] In the 90s most spam and hacking seemed to come from relatively poor countries, like USSR, India, Africa and China. I assumed it was because with a PC, a modem and a phone connection, you could make a lot more than the average salary. Then outsourcing came along, Indian developers started eating my breakfast, and pay for UK developers nosedived.
> the idea that "the people" can force countries to accept tax receipts in BTC is absolute unhinged nonsense, read a fucking book

Government money will worth shit if people stop putting their savings in it. Unless you think the US government will make it ilegal to possess BTC, then it is just a matter of time for people to migrate to a better store of value.
You are looking at the wrong standard. Look at the one for the operating systems' APIs.
The only obvious advantage to a wide dataset to me is not having to join data entities, but I come from 25 years of mainly working with relational databases so I'm used to that. I can see that it would fix some problems around creating configurable SAAS products for instance rather than using entity attribute value model. Your data size is smaller than I expected and I'm still not sure I understand your use case. With that size of data you could choose pretty much any model and it would probably fit your requirements.
I can't imagine how it could possibly be any good for video conferencing.

Why don't they just have an iPad and digital avatars? Then you don't need to strap goggles to your head for an identical experience.
I think I’m noticing what people do all the time with Apple launches, not listen to the marketing. They told you exactly where they’re positioning this. Spatial computing. Not quite tvOS not quite iPadOS. If they’re lucky this is the watch all over again. If they’re truly lucky, this the new iPlatform. I’m just excited they’ve now confirmed this will be a market for at least another decade. I am bummed to see though that it is a queued release and not a global preorder.
It's not production ready yet but here is the instructions: https://jinjat.com/docs/deploy

And omg, their demo is a "gallery app"...and for their AR/VR showcase, with their "spatial computing" "visionOS" their galley example is a FLAT, 2D APP!

No virtual object photo album, no virtual folder/box of photos that you can reach into. No holding a virtual polaroid "in your hand" as you move it back and forth to look at it and then place it on a surface where it stays and is remember that it's there for your next session.

No being able to decorate your virtual/AR space by placing an art frame up onto the wall and having it stay there.

No demo of 3d (multiple angles reconstruct 3d scene)/360* footage being played "around" the viewer.

No demo of any proper virtual objects at all, hell nothing in 3d or anything with any real depth beyond 2d planes in the whole thing.
With the exception of rattle snakes perhaps
I totally agree, hence the "once we can.."
i wonder why someone would register a domain dedicated specifically to this fantasy. the text is also a bit of all over the place mentally. but somewhat interesting nonetheless. i visited that place after taking a little bit too much 4-aco-dmt. that was a hell of a trip. still not sure what to make of it and how it impacted me in the long term.
I guess I can understand why but by having its own entirely new OS could be (emphasis on could, not saying it will happen) what sinks this. Not even iPad started with its own OS, it was originally iOS and then just forked off into its own thing which was still very similar to iOS, even to this day.

Though maybe thats what they wanted to avoid. iPadOS sits in an awkward position between MacOS and iOS, maybe Apple wanted to avoid a repeat of that.
You meant Ukrainian terrorist attacks on civilians.

Reminds me of what Chechen terrorists were doing long ago. How much time until Ukrainians take hostage a maternity hospital[0] or a school[1] and demand to end the war?

In fact, the leader of Ukrainian 'heroes', the neo-Nazi Azov battalion, promised to emulate Chechen tactics by attacking small cities inside Russia.[2]

They actually said 23 million pixels over both panels. So if taking that as 11.5 million each then at an equivalent aspect ratio that would be something like 4550 * 2560 per eye. Right?
It was a daily driver for me. I game in waves. Sometimes an hour or 2 a day, then I will take a break for awhile. I found a lot of really excellent titles on the Quest. I had an absolute blast, but recently gave the headset away after about 2 years of heavy use. I’ll admit that I was choosing VR specially because I wanted to get a good sense of what Apple and Meta are pouring billions into as a bet for the future of computing.

One conclusion for me is that great software is great! There’s not much of a library on Quest, but the few gems pulled me in like my first game console all over again, an addicting and polished game paired with incredible immersion.

Another conclusion for me is that VR is uncomfortable in many ways. You have to stand and move for long stretches. You perform repetitive actions that can hurt your hands, your arms, your shoulders. The current hardware is heavy and awkward. It cuts you off from the world, restricts your field of view and prevents you from eating or drinking. And maybe worst of all, it creates bizarre dissociations between movement and body, eyes and objects, reality and unreality.

I still think the tech has incredible potential. One day we will live in an immersive physical/digital environment that will respond to our slightest intentions. But I now think this tech is decades away before it becomes as easy and ubiquitous as a cell phone.

If you want a really good peek at computing in 2050, pick up this Apple headset.
So strategically, the Russians have had nearly a decade to adjust. Which means the burden of water loss/destruction as an immediate problem lies with Ukraine. Therefore in my model of the calculus of war the pain lies heavier on Ukraine, and for that reason if no other I believe the act was perpetrated by the Russians either cynically to demoralise deelectrify and dehouse, or for direct tactical gain to halt the advance in mud, or both.
Well, Apple is doing the same old time, because there is one before it, https://simulavr.com/ .
> The norm is that we make actions all the time and agency is expected.

Agency about things we percieve we can control. There are vastly many more things which are out of our control, or require gargantuan effort to change, or would be extremely risky.

> A single-click would have not allowed those other actions.

Yes it would. And did. Windows chose double click to open but other systems managed with a single click while still allowing you to drag around icons and files.
Unfortunately, these are two different processing.
At what point did password managers invent the idea of using a different password for each account? That is computing basics from the beginning. They didn't solve a problem, they just increased the lottery prize if the master password gets compromised.

Every body can continue down-voting, but that fact is not going to change.
