I really don't mind having AI-driven features — if it's an improvement. Turns out that "if" part is fantastically difficult for some types to fathom, and what we're all experiencing now is just the same add-on tech-

When teaching print (halftones, LPI, CMYK etc) I also use a parrot. I've used rainbows and chameleons too, but settled on the parrot as being the most appropriate. But now I begin to wonder if I was just parroting(har har) a paradigm.

I had thought it was a deliberate choice to avoid potential abuse, however Sora put an end to that line of thinking.

Not really, because this misses the premise of why the device itself is useful. VR/AR headsets are useful for working on and demonstrating many things that we've had to compromise to fit into a 2D paradigm. Being able to be presen

Quietly thankful that the spec author didn't proclaim that we've been mispronouncing "TIFF" all these years.

I disagree, because it answers a pretty simple question: How to be present in a video call when you're using the headset. To me it would be a shortcoming of the device if I couldn't show me and the thing I'm working on at the

I have a few similar take aways: 1. The scanning is fast, it takes longer to set up a fingerprint on a macbook air. Just turning the head from side to side, then up and down, smiling and raising one's eyebrows. 2. I used the M5, and th

Normal content is 1000 nits, peak is 1600 nits. Contrast is significantly poorer on the Air display, and HDR is already in your own photos if you have a modern smartphone, so the idea that it’s niche or irrelevant is a naive take. The perce

An frequently overlooked point is the display brightness. The pro models offer 1600 nits peak brightness, which makes these good units for looking at HDR content, especially if you like to take photos or edit videos. Meanwhile the Air maxes

It does sound paradoxical, but it's the difference between steering information to things that serve you, versus having others steer the information you see to things that serve them. Reddit right now is in a very bad place. It's

I believe it should be a layered approach. 1. Educate children about bad actors and scams. (We already do this in off-line contexts.) 2. Use available tools to limit exposure. Without this children will run into such content even when not s

The evidence for "giving up" is pretty thin. Ignoring the new model: which has upgraded screens, a faster refresh rate and a new headband design amongst other upgrades - which each indicate more R&D activity on the Vision Pro

Edits aren't possible, but what the body of replies (so far) miss is that this is discussing the weaponisation motive versus the profit motive. The Dutch taking ownership of this company is not to divert its profits, it's to preve

This approach solves a common problem in apps that need to surface a lot of controls. Problem 1: Sliders take up a lot of space. Problem 2: Fine control of a mouse or touch-driven interface is provided by sliding, not by rotational gestures
