Gemini ultra 1.0 never went GA. So it is wierd that they'd release 1.5 when most can't even get their hands on 1.0 ultra.

Modern urban planners oppose most of the dystopian development seen in the US. What you see here is the stakeholders getting what they want. (Which might not be what they need) Only in this case, the stakeholders are other residents in the

In 1 generation Apple solved the hand tracking UI problem better than anything Facebook has done. The quest looks like android in 3d, and is unremarkable when compared to the 2015 era oculus v1. It is faster and better in everyway. But fun

I'm suspicious of this bill, but your analogy does more to show how cars are horrifyingly unregulated than push for individual responsibility. The car allows you to break the law by going 2x faster than the highest speed limit in the n

Thanks, I know it doesn't sound like much, but your affirmation makes me feel better. I have rebalanced my internal priors to be more heavily weighted on my intuition than the 'market vibes'. Let's see how 2024 pans out.

The Vision Pro is Apple selling a combination of a tech demo, fashion item and dev kit. It isn't meant to be useful. Rather, it gives them bragging rights for being first to market (in AR) and they now control the narrative around it.

Oddly, this is already a solved problem. NYC fire escapes are world famous. If every sub-10 floor building can have a 2nd window fire escape.... then you can have your cake and eat it too.
