Thanks for the suggestions! I do have a CO alarm and don't have a gas line to the house so I doubt it's that. It may just be nothing, but I'd rather err on the side of caution, so I'll get some blood work done and see if

Yeah, I'm very fascinated by the ways that people can all have such different experiences with the way we process the world around us. My internal monologue is very much like yours, where it's mostly talking to myself the way I wo

>What does it feel like when you are tired/relaxed, lying in bed, eyes closed? Do you get visually dreamy, half-awake? When I'm tired, my inner dialogue is usually less active than normal, though it's never quite silent. I

I've tried various exercises over the years, but to no success. Funnily enough, I'm alright at drawing. I just can't plan things out in advance until I pencil in an outline of a thing. It's a firmly iterative process (no

Echoing SirRoderic here, but my understanding is that many others have the ability to clearly visualize their POV of past memories along with all or some of the sensory experiences associated with those experiences. My lived experience is t

Sorry I don't have a great answer for this, but generally, just vibes. I'm not great at articulating directions to people due to the lack of visualization, and if someone asks me if I know where the x on y road is, I can't ev

Not at all! I'm actually an avid reader of fiction and non-fiction! I actually host 3 weekly book clubs :) I've had some pretty extensive conversations with a buddy in one of the book clubs about this specific subject when we were

In response to your statement that it's difficult to say definitively that you're experiencing those images in a fundamentally different way from someone with aphantasia, I can share my experience as someone on the complete opposi

One of the most important and key points I hope Apple iterates on in an upcoming version is some type of universal undo action. It's immensely frustrating to be watching a video in the photos app and swipe a tiny bit wrong only to lose

I agree wholeheartedly. When I'm feeling down or depressed, I often want to engage in media that lets me wallow in those feelings as a cathartic sort of release. Would love some type of toggle that allows us to "match" a feel

It doesn't natively support it in the Photos app but 3rd party apps like Moon Player work for the content. None of the solutions are as robust as their implementations on other platforms (i.e. Meta Quest 3) but they're perfectly f

I'm going to go against the grain a bit here and say that in my experience, the description of the Vision Pro as a dev kit feels pretty reductive. I was a day 1 purchaser who bought it fully expecting the device to just be an early acc

This one is rather specific, but a game rhythm based Final Fantasy game called Theatrhythm Final Bar Line is simply not allowing people to play today because it has an internal system that awards prizes for specific days and they didn'

I live in a region that apparently has Pawpaw trees that grow natively and until last year had never even heard of the fruit! This year I'm hoping to try one of these for the first time :) I figure it's a pretty unique experience

Fundamentally though, that's just the nature of diminishing returns. Of course the value proposition for the Quest 3 is far better than the value prop of the Vision Pro. It's no different than consumer GPU's. There will be en

One thing I haven't really seen anyone mention is that there is no way to discreetly record someone with the Vision Pro. The whole front screen either flashes white (for photos) or stays white for the duration of a video recording.

But the obvious use case to augment a large mirrored macbook screen is native vision apps (safari, etc.) with windows open to the documentation / references that you'd naturally have on other screens. Generally there's 1-2 ap

It's actually about 150-200 grams lighter than the Index, though the distribution of weight seems to be better balanced on the Index than the AVP. Hard to say how it will feel for long term usage, but I'm not particularly concerne

I had great success using Anki cards during my undergrad to fully internalize important definitions (i.e. trig identities, etc.) for utilization within practice problems. Sometimes, you just know a thing or don't, and for me, spaced re

Turing Tumble was a blast too! Solved a lot of the puzzles while on camping trips with my parents hanging out in their RV. I think they enjoyed the abstraction from computers to just figuring out how to make the balls fall in the correct wa

Not the OP, but that sounds like a blast to me! I'd definitely play it! Another game that did a similar thing (that I'm a HUGE fan of) is Spintronics [0]. It goes a whole step further from just creating analog circuits digitally a

My understanding of it is that the eye-strain that people tend to get isn't from your eyes focusing on the glass, but rather due to the Vergence-Accommodation Conflict (VAC)[0]. Essentially, there's a mismatch between the vergence

Sure, but I'm pretty productive with my MacBook too, so I can certainly see myself utilizing the features I described to help out with some struggles of using a single display laptop. The entertainment aspect is a massive draw too—I do

Even when you pre-order, you try it on at the store to get fitted for the appropriate mask, and on top of that you have 2 weeks to return it for a full refund (if it's the same as other apple products—no reason to believe it won't

Personally, I'm excited for the productivity aspects of it. I think my main use case will probably be relaxing in my comfy chair with a macbook on my lap projected into a much larger screen with some other floating windows like documen

I know a lot of people are rightfully concerned with the viability of this product, but I'm unbelievably excited! Definitely going to be pre-ordering one and picking it up on release day if I can! I'm sure it won't be perfect

We read a set amount of a book on a schedule (2-3 chapters usually) then discuss as a group our thoughts on parts of the story that stood out to us. Sometimes it's predictions for the future, sometimes it's specifics about charact

Honestly, probably not. It's not necessarily that I don't think someone who's primarily familiar with Sanderson/Rothfuss/etc wouldn't be __capable__ of reading it—it's more that the format of the story and
