Ha, indeed. For context[0]. That's stuck with me ever since I read it, and I immediately saw that Unison kind of ran with that idea, when I came across it many years ago. I've always been interested and following on the sidelines,

I agree they feel like reality, but I don't know how much of that is the display quality vs the absolutely astonishing way they stay fixed in space.

Heh, I hope they introduce typing on your lap or a desk for touch typers. It seems like it should be feasible with good hand tracking and maybe some AI. So not so much where you touch, but which fingers are doing what. If passwords can be d

Hey, that's my setup, too! Is there a way to manipulate the windows that I'm missing, or do you physically get up and attach the screens? I can't seem to find a way to adjust the... yaw?... without grabbing the window, walkin

Ah, garden path sentence! What a great term. I seriously had to read the title a couple times and thought initially it was an article on passphrases.

I speculate the fake eyes functioned exactly as they needed to: they let Apple market the device with photos that make it look almost transparent. In reality, my wife can hardly see my eyes on mine, so I don't know what function they&#

As a perpetual FOMO / early adopter with a pre-order (arrives tomorrow, can't wait!), I agree. I feel like phones and even watches are pretty "solved" at this point (witness every discussion around the incremental updat

Interesting seeing Tim Cook wear it for the first time. Interesting strategy to gradually roll out media. First, carefully shot videos with models, then the reviewers, now carefully staged videos with Tim Cook in Vanity Fair. They're t

That could just be an initial limitation of technology, though. The Apple Vision "spatial computing" line could move to glasses eventually. That said, I think the "you're looking at a digital reconstruction of the world&

I feel like this is a gut-level response based on history with the iPad, but doesn't translate to the Vision Pro. I think it's meant to be used with a Mac for most productivity use cases. That's how I intend to use mine: VS

Yeah, I don't think "mirroring" is quite the right term. It's effectively a 4K monitor for the laptop, with the laptop screen going black. Most (all?) Mac laptops don't have a 4K screen, so you have more screen real

I'm not the person you responded to, but I'd also include stuff like developing the APIs developers use, Swift and SwiftUI, Xcode, developer docs, etc. Basically everything that Apple does that makes it possible for a developer to

I agree with this, but so few people seem to like it. International travel is such a luxury and costs so much carbon. It's my goto example of something I would outlaw since it doesn't affect me, and there's no "real&quot

It's interesting they're willing to push back the release so much, not falling to the sunk cost fallacy. A lemon would be a reputation hit. That's kind of why I'm pretty interested in the Vision Pro, another product in s

As a Tesla driver, I’m used to one pedal driving now, but I don’t love it. The thing I do most when driving is maintain the same speed, and doing that with one pedal driving is a little hard on my leg, since you have to keep the pedal at ju

I can't read the article so I'm just going by the headline... I was thinking about this over Christmas break. My wife and I live in Hammond, IN, a poor town near Gary and we were visiting my in-laws in Boca Raton, FL. Until then,

Hey, that's fun. That's the first "(2023)" I've seen on HN. This is a pretty useful guide for me since I've wanted to look into getting a heat pump for my home. But it doesn't get into the first stumbling

Ironically, I don't think it would be that hard with LLMs. I tried asking ChatGPT to describe what copyrighted characters each description is alluding to and it had no problem doing so.[0] [0] https://chat.openai.com/sh

I'm not an expert, but I think the "orthodox" understanding is that quantum mechanics is fundamentally rooted in probabilities at the lowest level. The position you're taking, that quantum uncertainty isn't inherent

It's not. Autopilot is basically just traffic aware cruise control and lane keep. FSD is a paid add-on that does other stuff.

Heh, I read that and had the opposite conclusion. When I was reading the benchmarks and seeing how Gemini Ultra was outperforming GPT-4 I thought, "Finally, some competition for GPT4"! But when I got to that part, that's when

Interesting. I wonder to what extent it's found use at Google over this past decade. There are advantage to being language-specific, but a lot of disadvantages, as well (speaking as someone who recently had to write some Elixir code to

I like lobsters. One of my main use cases is on my phone in the middle of the night (while rocking my newborn), since it actually has a legit dark mode, unlike HN, which blinds me and lights up the room. I don't understand how HN doesn

How do you feel about alcohol prohibition? Marijuana prohibition? Outlawing recreational intercontinental flights? I'd argue there's plenty of things that we do that have negative effects on society or on the climate, which aren&#

This is really interesting. It makes perfect sense that they weren't sitting at 6 board members for 9 months because Sam and the others didn't see the implications, but because they saw them all too well and were gridlocked. But t

I agree that it's strange, and I think it's sort of a quirk of how AI developed. I think some of the early, loud proponents of AI - especially in Silicon Valley circles - had sort of a weird (IMO) fascination with "existentia

I don't think that's a fair characterization of their predictions. Szilard predicted the development of the bomb would end major war, and he was mostly right for the right reasons, though he envisioned a UN-type organization to co
