Even though macOS won’t let you replace the actual binaries that ship with the OS, you can still replace the binaries that get resolved when they’re called via brew/nix/macports etc. I again disagree with your assertions that you

I very much disagree with this sentence > However, with Linux, you need to be able to change anything and everything on the immutable part, and this requires a new philosophy and set of tools. Taking macOS as a North Star as a successful

That’s fair. I agree that the ergonomics of the immutability matter , but I think that’s true of any aspect of a distro. I think there’s been well done immutable systems and it’s something that can be achieved with a mainstream Linux distro

How would you define an immutable distro that would exclude macOS with SIP? And steamOS is totally a general purpose OS, it’s just got a non-general purpose frontend it defaults to.

by dagmx 2y ago
The advantage is you always have a core system that you can revert into by removing any problematic overlays, and you can always quickly verify that a system is in a verified and unmodified state. This is how macOS works with SIP, and how i

I’m honestly surprised Immutable distros is so controversial. I get why people choose not to do it, but I don’t know why I see so much hate towards them in a lot of Linux communities. SteamOS is immutable and incredibly successful. macOS (n

I hope this actually does change Nordstrom because their corporate direction has been terrible over the last few years while trying to maximize shareholder value. They’ve closed all Canadian operations, despite their Vancouver store being o

To note, the items used in surgery don’t all need to be medically certified for use if they’re not involved in the interaction with the person being operated on. They just need to adhere to certain standards and maintenance. This is why you

It is being used in those industries. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42480926 for a bunch of links to early medical use. The reason I think you’re not counting those is because you claim equivalency of capability

Yes they are. Here are articles and videos for surgery use. Previously, the HoloLens was used for the surgery market and the Vision Pro has largely replaced it. https://time.com/7093536/surgeons-apple-vision-pro/

To your last point, you’re confusing the iPhone 3G and the original iPhone. The original iPhone was the one that had a price drop after launch which included the apology response, not the iPhone 3G. To the rest of your point, I’m sure Apple

If all you care about is gaming, perhaps. But there’s a lot of areas where the Vision Pro is a better product to the point where the price difference is irrelevant. Much like professional cameras aren’t actually 10x the features of prosumer

I suspect your expectations for sales are much loftier than Apple’s. The million sales mark was from one single report by Kuo. Kuo himself previously said they were limited to ~900K display units which is ~450K devices and other analysts ha

by dagmx 2y ago
> the Vision Pro’s sales up to this point justify discontinuation What are you basing this on though? From all accounts they’re pretty close to selling the number of units they could manufacture.

Yeah the black magic folks have such a great perspective on workflow and ecosystem. Their color science too is very nice and I think they’re making good moves with the 17k.

Not without compromising something. Here’s the RED body list https://www.red.com/productcategory/Camera-BRAINs There’s no brain for an 8k sensor where you could have more than one for the cost of this. So you’d have to

I just want to say that your analysis is great. I reference it whenever the discussion comes up about the technicalities of Apples solution.
560.
by dagmx 2y ago
Ah good catch. I suppose they can effectively halve the 17k in that case. But very impressive that they have such tight synchronization between sensor readouts to feel comfortable splitting it.

Your comment is incorrect in many ways. Based on your comment, I don’t believe you’ve actually tried it? Firstly, it is not passthrough video. Secondly, you cannot currently have the same experience on the quest. You can have lower quality

I’m not sure the Ursa Immersive is actually two sensors, though it might be. It’s based on the Ursa Cine 17k (which is shockingly close to the exact resolution needed) so it might be a single sensor as well. Which would help with synchroniz

Regarding the nicheness of it all: My background was in film where I also worked on stereo for certain big projects. I know some anti-Apple folk will criticize my comments below so I want to be clear I’m talking about 3D video specifically.

by dagmx 2y ago
I feel like I already covered the answer to your question in the comment you’re replying to. The canon fisheye lens does not have the same IPD as this lens. Beyond that, you’d still be limited by the sensor. The highest RED sensor is 8k? Th

You’re looking at the wrong product. That’s the Ursa Cine 17k not the Ursa Cine Immersive. This is the page you want https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/media/release/20241217-01

This is the same cost as the standard Ursa Cine 17k however that it is derived from https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/media/release/20240912-03

You are mistaken in your last point. The Quest doesn’t play the Apple Immersive video formats, only their MV-HEVC stereo format. Nobody has been able to extract Apples immersive videos yet and I’m not convinced the Quest has the decoding po

A lot! Firstly, it’s an actual cine camera so has a lot of cine features for reviewing, output, formats that are recorded etc. Next is the lenses, this has a wider inter pupillary distance so will feel more dimensional and natural. It also

Feels a bit premature to survey this because most of the very user forward features only released last week, so are still very early in having users update. The ones in 18.1 are significantly more in the background and restricted to the US.

Boot time rarely matters since most TVs just sleep, and not shut down. Cold boots are reserved for failure situations or updates. I agree with the point that most people deal with terrible user experience. A lot of my friends ask me why I w
