- caprock 3y agoThe same question was posted a couple hours before this one. It's here: Ask HN: What are your predictions for 2024? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38777115 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38777115
- devonnull 3y agoOther than saying it's going to be a weird and wild ride, I'm holding back on any specific predictions mainly because my crystal ball has never been right in the past!
- qp11 3y agoVision Pro bombs. Too complicated to use and full of bugs.
- greazy 3y agoThis is great because someone predicted the opposite! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38779014 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38779014 > The Vision Pro becomes wildly popular at least to a subset of the population. It’s continuously sold out and people scalp for absurd prices (or try to, idk if Apple will prevent this in some way; by absurd, I’m talking minimum $10,000, maybe over $1,000,000). Some people become addicted to it like the immersion trope, they don’t care about anything else anymore, stop participating in life, neglect their health, finances etc.. It brings up new old discussions about the dangers of VR immersion.
- taskforcegemini 3y agoyeah no.. not sure it will bomb but this is a lot less likely.. would be great if they help the vr market in general though

- ksaj 3y agoMy prediction (in psychic format) is that Donald Trump will suffer a medical emergency, and nobody will take it seriously or believe him. His followers will understand his explanation as an encoded sign of something they must do, and do quickly. It's just a prediction. Don't think too much about it.
- subtra3t 3y agoI know you said not to think too much about it, but what do you think Donald Trump's followers would do if he gets sick?
- ksaj 3y agoThey won't believe he is sick, because he'll do everything in his power to hide it. Even if he doesn't hide it well (and he won't), they will continue to talk around it, as if what you are seeing is not what's happening. On the other hand, they will be absolutely fixated on any and every sign from Biden to continually declare Biden's impending doom. They will see a missed mountain bike excursion as evidence of his increasing frailty. I worked hard at making that last part sound as tabloid-psychic as possible. Nikki has nothing on me.
- NikkiA 3y agoWTF you blaming me for?
