> In other words, don't expect Steam Deck-esque levels of compatibility with Windows games just yet.

Valve and CodeWeavers have done a ton of work to create Proton[0], the Windows compatibility layer that Steam Deck uses. Besides their own patches, they're relying completely on the foundation that Wine provides. And of course there's everyone behind Arch Linux (SteamOS 3), and Debian before them (SteamOS 1-2).

CodeWeavers did a lot of work on Proton[1], so it makes sense that they're also looking at macOS.

For me, however, I've almost completely abandoned macOS for games. I've got a Steam Deck, dock, and appropriate adapters so that I can use my monitor & sound bar. Logitech makes keyboards and mice that let you select which source you want to use, so it's now really easy to switch from computer to Steam Deck.

Hardware patents are bad too. Even more bad are those that cover both hardware and simulation of hardware in software domain.

For example, someone "invented" a circuit that lets you control an analogue filter parameters in a certain way. Then also was granted patent for a software that mimics behaviour of such circuit. As if someone found a loophole to patent mathematical formulas.

Either people that grant patents are dumb or I don't know.
Apple: People are getting myopia from their screens being too close to their eyes.

Also Apple: We’re strapping two 4K displays to your eyeballs with our new Apple Vision Pro AR headset.

In all seriousness, this looks pretty awesome, and certainly paints a positive picture for AR in the future. It's pretty crazy how ahead Apple is to Meta considering Zuck pivoted their entire company around the space a few years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple gets this headset to iPhone prices in 3-4 years. I imagine this will be around $3,000 now (price not announced as of my post), so it will just be an enthusiast tool for now, but mass adoption is certainly possible down the line.
I struggle to understand what some people were expecting. If it’s nothing more than putting screens in 3d space, it’s already worth it for me. I can sit on the couch, type on my MacBook, and look at multiple displays around me using the Vision Pro. As a bonus, I can still see what’s going on around me so nobody can come in and scare the shit out of me. Win win. I’ll take this content viewing device any day over a weird metaverse/avatar future that nobody wants.
Apple reveals Vision Pro, a AR/VR headset unlike any other
I mean, if I could pace the room when in a boring ass meeting without having to sit in front of screen - that’d be awesome.

Oh wow, I didn't realize! Well never mind then, my mistake. Thanks for the correction — and with a citation, even!
It didn't work well at all in my experience. Given how much code was thrown out rather than ported, I'm guessing that I'm not alone.
Still lots of work to do to catch up, I feel.

This is the true meaning behind most bullshit arguments against UBI. And it sort of shows why most people that probably think of themselves as fair and honest are actually pretty cruel.

They count on existing people poor enough to work miserable jobs that no one would do if not for the threat of homelessness and starvation. They count on the coercion inherent to the system to keep things chugging along.

Someone gotta collect that garbage, and the sewer won't unclog itself.

I would say it depends on who you are.

For people in the first quintile (ambition wise), it was definitely a problem. For the third? Soviet Union offered job stability like no place else with no need to pack their things and chase the job market. I'm not saying fourth or fifth because that's where vodka will probably get you.

Overall, both systems are widely recognized to be badly broken.
It looks like they are using a lenticular screen to create the "EyeSight" image, that way it looks 3d (ish) to the people around you.
No one wants to attempt an ICBM launch. Very unreliable. They have never been tested and are just as likely to blow up in the silo and cause an unintended nuclear detonation.
I find it sad how small the differences are.
They all follow an evolution that is far too cohesive.
We need more chaos and innovation.

They should have included Microsoft Bob.
It was a huge failure economically but
at least they tried something else.
They really missed out on the chance to call it MK Ultra.
Their slogan should be: "scuba diving into virtual reality"
So it's a Hololens VR with front and back cameras with a front LCD gimmick for displaying emojis...
I have to agree.

I googled it and they define it like "flat and smooth. 'prepare the site, then lay an even bed of mortar' Similar: flat smooth uniform unbroken undamaged" those synonym words are clearly how apple wants to brand its products

The OP starts their question like "It’s so simple, and consistent" which is also weirdly like the definition of that word, like they themselves got neurolinguistically programmed by it.
I completely agree.

Patents should be contrasted with trade secrets as that is their main "competitor". Is it useful to the general public to be shown the details of a new technology, but have it's use restricted for 20 years? Or is it more useful to prevent blocking of technology but these are going to be kept as trade secrets instead?

From my point of view patents are probably harmful here. Having people be inspired and come up with alternative (or rediscover the same) implementations is probably going to lead to much better for the public than actually learning exactly how the original company did it in exchange for 20y of exclusivity (and all of the pain that enforcing the exclusivity brings).

Remember that unlike copyright patents are not about encouraging the creation of work or innovation. They are a trade of information to the public for a period of exclusivity. For software that tradeoff seems far to far in the inventors favor.
The folks I know who have done it either already had the pre-reqs in their undergrad transcript, or went and took the missing classes before getting admitted. When I talked to schools about it (a long time ago), that is the answer I got as well: "Go take these courses and get a B or better, and then apply."
this will be great for people who’ve lost their entire family in some tragic accident
Hi author here. There is no stable API at the moment and it depends a bit what you want to do. If you mean write own private decoders it is possible but i can't guarantee the API will change, see this old twitter thread https://twitter.com/TimMattison/status/1600871136027627521
If you mean using existing decoders and access the result i think you probably do in theory. That is kind of how the interp packages in fq is implemented, it implements a jq interface + some fq bells and whistles using the decode value structure.
WOW. This is just amazing.
Maybe if that's all they'd said, but

> and long before the internet made it easy, it was the kind of thing i would do in my lunchtime at an office job.

This gives me vibes of "I think I'm really impressive and I want people to know it." Maybe that's uncharitable though... Talking to people online has made me too cynical haha. I appreciate the alternative perspective.
He could simply be lying, pushing a propaganda message of the state. Why would you without evidence believe he is being truthful whatsoever?

There is geopolitical advantage to making the world think you have advanced weapons tech, or that it exists and has to be found somewhere.
Went to fire up my old 360 that was in the basement to play some old kinetic dance game with the kids. RROD. Seemed a waste to throw more good money/time after bad trying to fix it.
They've got a interior facing camera, they could make you a pair of floating eyeballs!

Kidding, but also not, I imagine they make use of that camera for this somehow.
The sad thing is, people are going to wear these in public, and nobody is going to think they look dumb, because Apple.
I would gladly pay Apple $30,000, like I will get financing and see this as a new car payment, for a machine where all chips are full open source and documented and detachable and auditable.
I don't think it's so weird, part of the usability issue with headsets has always been having to take them off to interact with meatspace stuff. For me at least, a big part of that was it being really awkward to talk to someone next to you from inside the headset, even if you see them in passthrough fine, since you can't make eye contact. Not sure if this will be perfect or have a "my eyes are up here" effect, but it doesn't seem like a strange idea.
> And if it's published without disclosing the lack of validation, it's unethical.

How is this different than people posting things that they didn't test themselves?

It's just an abstraction, it's not zero-(runtime)-cost. It might be the "lowest possible cost", still nonzero.
How broad can the request get? Can I ask for any communications that are related to a decision made or drafting of something that goes into the CFR?

How much should I expect to pay for these requests, especially while figuring out the prompt engineering?
Once they shrink all its components into regular sized sunglasses then it becomes the next iPhone.

So much innovation to happen here like playing ping pong and the glasses keeping/showing you the score.

But as a headset the populace won't care too much as for over 30 years the populace has rejected headsets.
Or "technically, the truth" since all of the statements are the truth colored by marketing speak :)
Except there's no provenance or root of trust. There is (IIUC) no back-propagation of a penalty if sites violate trust, just an overall observational measure.

And I'd still say pagerank did work really well in an Internet where there was overwhelmingly trust. But in a world where default-trust is a bad stance, I believe there needs to be an equivalent of what "You can trust X" does in small in-person groups. (Or, alternatively "Sheesh, X went off and just destroyed all trust")

I do think it'll need to be more than a single metric, too. Trust is multidimensional by topic(E.g. "I trust the NYTs data science folks, I have zero trust for the OpEds"), and it is somewhat personal. (E.g. I might have experienced X lying to me, while they've been 100% honest to you - maybe in/outgroup, maybe political alignment, maybe differing beliefs, etc. Ultimately, what we call trust in an indirect situation is "most of my directly trusted folk vouch for that person)
I enjoyed this and the rest of your comments, haha.
Whistleblowers get a percentage of the fine. They were sabotaged from within.

But all the bigwigs are offshore.
Yes, but stars are not punctual on your screen. What people see are the stars filled up to the third star, whereas the average score would look like the third star being only half-filled.
This is really a product looking for a solution. I am very skeptical that the people who buy this will be using it a year after they get it.

Wearing the headset while your kids are playing seems like something out of a dystopian scifi movie.

And using it to watch movies might work while lying in bed but sitting on the couch seems like the next 3D tvs.
What does this even mean, with the sarcastic smiley face? Since when are margins and R&D mutually exclusive?
I will think they look dumb (and I'm an Apple user...)
Nazi is just a name given to racists/nationalists with extra steps. They just hated jews and believed in pure race. If you don't teach about nazis in schools that hypothetical 5% will still be nazi like but not attached to strict nazi 'ruleset' and symbols, but we just can call them extremists. And it's not like people don't have access to internet, mein kampf can be found without much effort even if prohibited in many countries. And tbh teaching about nazi atrocities leads to 5% creation of nazis sounds like something pulled from air without proofs
I was really hoping for an apple version of something like the nreal air. Looks like a pass for me on the new apple ski goggles unfortunately.
I commend you taking a generous view of that, as I was unable to with a straight face. Agree with your second comment.
I have often wondered why none of the other VR/AR companies really keyed in on this. While it it not as sexy as 'immersive video games' I can tell you that I would have been on the AR/VR train a long time ago if they were offering me the ability to use the goggles as a huge chunk of screen real estate. I can imagine a lot of people in mac-friendly open office spaces hopping onto this as soon as it is available.

Edit: OK, just saw the Disney pitch for Vision Pro. They are going to sell a ton of these things to every sports fanatic in the world.
So is this selectively dimming parts of the screen to achieve the darkness effect on UI elements, or is it taking a 3D map of your face and projecting it onto a screen on the end?

It seems Apple's primary selling point will be decent software, which the VR space desperately needs. E.g.

> Vision Pro also allows users to connect to their Mac and expand its display in a virtual space, including alongside apps running on Vision Pro itself.

has been possible for a while, just poorly. Hopefully this'll create some good competition.
are there any hard technical details yet? it seems like there are a lot of cameras on (and in) this thing.
The main purpose of not to put things in writing and instead to discuss face to face has always been not to create incriminating evidence rather than avoiding and "unsecured channel".

When you're using Signal or WhatsApp or whatever you're still putting things in writing to someone else and the risk, as we see again and again, is that this is leaked by the receipient(s). Plus ça change...

This is almost the raison-d'être of posh private members clubs.
That isn't really a good example of transistors well spent. You can do 32 bit RISCV or MIPS cpu in the same process node that is 2-6x faster than that 8086 using the same number of transistors.
Apple hardware is genuinely better in so many ways large and small: case, keyboard, hinges, touchpad, etc. I wish I could pay the Apple "tax" and without having to use MacOS (RIP Bootcamp).
Only that it's not installed on every computer I use :)
+1. Later on in the presentation they show a father taking pictures of his kids in 3d. Playing with your kids while wearing AR goggles is just beyond dystopian.
For some reasons, VR headsets are known to improve myopia and crossed eyes. I don't know for cataracts but myopia don't seem to be a huge issue wrt VR uses.
This is scary as hell, especially the part where they showcased taking 3D video of your kids while they're playing outside.

Yeah, spend time outside with your children with an AR headset strapped to your face, while a screen on the outside of it conveys your emotions.

The future is scary and sad.
Isn't money laundering just a crime because the state is to inept to actually catch people doing the crime that they gained money from?
> They did? They had a very generous policy where you were covered for three years after purchase, in which time they would repair or replace the hardware free of charge. If you RRoD'd in the later span of that, you would almost definitely have received an improved model (rather than them bothering to repair yours).

There were two refreshes of the "Fat" 360 generation trying to resolve the RRoD issue, and as you might guess the first one helped but didn't solve the problem. Unfortunately for early adopters, the first refresh was where HDMI was added and while a non-HDMI version of that board was created for warranty repair use the same never happened for the second refresh. If you bought an early Xbox 360 that didn't have HDMI ports you were never going to get a completely fixed box unless you managed to get support to just replace it entirely with a new one.
Another parallel is the 3D video feature - basically the projectors from that movie (that he uses to view a video of his child)
This is clearly an early product launch which isn't ready for the mainstream yet. And I'm assuming it's going to be super expensive. But I'm pretty impressed. Unlike pretty much any other VR headset I've seen, I can actually imagine myself using this and deriving value from it.
Anyone know which isochrone map website I'm thinking of?
A year or so ago I found an incredibly well made website that showed isochronic areas from a given address. Now - there are several of these types of websites, most are terrible, but this one that I can't find again had the following features:

* it worked in the Boston area (among other places)

* it allowed you to pick time of day

* it allowed you to pick mode of transportation

* it allowed you to pick more than one location and showed the intersection

* I believe the isochronic blob was pink by default

* it was completely free (at least at the time)

Does anyone know which website I'm talking about? I haven't been able to find it with google or searching my history, which makes me think it doesn't actually use the "isochrone" word on the website. And of course my memory could be off. The best one I've found is https://commutetimemap.com/map?places=38.882926%253B-77.016391%253B0%253B1800%253B%2523ea41f4 but it doesn't seem to let you change time of day.
IMO, they really stand out as a laptop chip. If you want something that's thin-and-light but still powerful, that's getting tough on the x86 side.

As you point out, the power efficiency isn't as great a benefit in a desktop form factor where cooling is a lot easier to accomplish.
This part really made me sad.
I don't think the article is necessarily claiming that specific syntaxes like SQL are bad. I think they just wanted to highlight how different the languages are.
Imagine having to buy 4 of these for your whole family?
Imagine wearing this fucking thing at your daughter's birthday party just so you can "re-live" it later.
I know that the PSVR2 can have prescription lenses so it is possible for headsets to deal with this.
Home automation provides lots of little advantages but it is hard to tell if it is worth the effort or cost.

My first home automation was smart switch for upstairs AC so could turn it on without going into the heat. The main motivator for Home Assistant was turning on porch light from outside. Now, I mostly turn on room lights from remote switch across the room; time saved is small but it adds up. It is also handy to control things with voice.

Home Assistant has enabled some automation and remote control. I have lights scheduled to turn on in evening when away. I have turned off lights from Uber on way to airport. Or turned on AC when house got super hot.
Is this going to be Apple's first big bust in a while?

Try reality, that's cool too.
I can only speak for myself, but the instant I start getting 2k a month for doing nothing I'm quitting. Especially when I look at my paycheck and see how much more is being taken in taxes than before. Why should I be one of the suckers? I'll just reduce my expenses and coast as long as I can, which is probably indefinitely since I've been saving for a while. Maybe have a few buddies put our free money together to move in and cover rent/mortgage. And I'm willing to bet a large proportion of my peers will do the same. When all your friends are getting stoned and playing video games all day while you work your ass off, in part to support their lifestyle, it'll be very tempting to join them and tell 'em to pass the bong.
This is going to be used for so much porn...
I do not understand why people make those comments. All we know about their systems is that they can load this website. You can be perfectly happy as a dev running vim on an ancient netbook…

You not knowing about the already existing evidence is no proof of its inexistence.

What "legitimate experts" exactly are you referring to and where?

The whistleblower here is talking, among other important things, about a secret US military program attempting to reverse engineer non-human artifacts. Your demands here are out of context and nonsensical.

Wish they had shown what the dad wearing the headset looked like.
Music production on this is going to be crazy good.

I think it must be a semi-transparent screen. Because otherwise the interior cameras would need some sort of illumination inside the goggles, which would be very distracting and draining on your eyes.

Edit: Whelp, I was wrong. I wrote this before they had announced the method on the keynote. Turns out you are creating a digital scan of your face, that is dynamically rendered based on the perspective of the outside observers in realtime. Quite impressive. Possibly overengineered. But But arguably a necessary feature to make this feel more friendly to other non-headset users and family members or coworkers.

Well, you know what they say: What's goes App must go Down!
I hadn't heard of that task, and it was interesting to see ChatGPT attempt the same problem. After a wrong answer, I gave it a leading question and received the following response.

> If you were to turn over the yellow card and find the number 7 on the other side, it would not disprove the statement "If a card has an odd number on one side, then the other side is purple." In fact, this discovery would not provide any evidence either for or against the statement.

> The statement specifically refers to cards with odd numbers on one side and their corresponding color on the other side. It does not make any claims about the colors of cards with even numbers. Therefore, even if the yellow card had an odd number like 7 on the other side, it would not contradict the statement.

It's interesting to see the model explaining exactly what would be necessary to find, exactly what it could find, and then fail to make any connection between the two.
I've seen reports they are going to allow for prescription lenses in the headset since it's too thin for glasses.
