Agreed, this basic application is so deeply potent, been saved a few times because the car reacted faster than I ever could have.

There already is constant cleaning, the brain just can’t seem to keep up. Sleep is more efficient at clearance. People are working on making sleep more efficient. As you can imagine, military leading here.

I’m thinking it should be pinned to the top of any sleep post!

Exactly, my kids are in elementary school and I’ve been talking with superintendents and high school principals. It’s straightforward to teach kids about the brain as a muscle and sleep as critical to rest and recovery to best power cogniti

Great points, I got my Ph.D. in neuroscience 20 years ago. There were disparate theories for why we sleep but no mechanistic description. Most of the research not specifically relevant to my own took 10-20 years to become influential. I’d b

More efficient sleep is possible with ultrasound. But keep in mind that the glymphatic system seems to expand as other systems contract. The waves are tied to brain activity slowing down, can’t have one without the other. That said, could i

If you have any doubts about sleep quantity and quality, worth reading about the glymphatic nervous system, which is so newly discovered likely you didn’t learn about it in school. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/artic

Sarcasm aside, it was the end of the fairness doctrine that led to this era.

Misses the point of academia. Neural nets and back prop came from a very small niche at the intersection of computer science, psychology, and neuroscience. Working with limited resources is a feature, not a bug, of innovation.

I didn’t know that Rupert Murdoch had to become a U.S. citizen to own a U.S. newspaper. So precedents for old school media but of course the problem is new media not needing physical distribution that can be readily monitored.

I like the comparison: like a good pair of earphones for your eyes. That’s a nice succinct summary and gets to when and how the device operates best - when detaching from your surroundings helps you in some way. That marginal value every

I agree it was cool at first but the baseline there was voice-only. You could see them! Now though the standard is pretty darn good on FaceTime and usually good, but tiresome, in group video calls. AVP has to go that much further to be bett

Agreed all around, just isn’t the future of spatial computing we’re being sold on. As an entertainment only device I’m sold if I were traveling more.

I think Apple made the right trade-off here, but the external battery seems like the feature of the Vision Pro that will make us look back from the future and shake our heads. Maybe I’m dense but I don’t really understand this jump to [sh

Smartphones can do more, but are they radically different? Same look and feel, modestly better battery life. From v1 the camera is the biggest addition to what Jobs said - iPod, phone, browser. If AVP has the same incremental improvements,

Healthcare applications are also really interesting to me because those tend to be high value for 30-60 minutes. The Department of Veteran Affairs, for instance, is the largest health system in the U.S. and has a nationwide network of clini

What does the version in 2040 look like? We’re 17 years on from the first iPhone, and it’s still the same basic device. Incrementally better every year hasn’t meant any radical changes.

As a media consumption device it seems really cool, but I don’t see how the 10th or 20th generation version is relevant for daily life or work. Magic Leap spent over $4 Billion on the physics of high definition light onto the retina. There

Thanks for this list, doesn’t seem like the pair of glasses that people are envisioning, more like iPhone X, lots of incremental improvements but not a major difference from v1 to v10 or even v15.

Can someone explain why they think the AVP version in 2034 will be light years ahead of v1? I see amazing engineering but not many places to shrink everything into a lightweight pair of glasses.

Doesn’t that support my point on incrementalism? It’s a 2x gain in 10 years.

Given how long this has been in development, I’m surprised that Apple didn’t buy a studio like MGM or Paramount+CBS. If AVP is best as a consumption device, creating next generation content and especially on top of events like the Grammys a

The assumption that it’s v1 and will only get better seems to miss the physics and battery limitations. Magic Leap spent billions trying to overcome the physics of seeing in high definition. How soon we forget… Moreover, are the latest iPho
