Not sure. The other environments felt just as real. But lake, snow and fake moon felt sterile in comparison. There is something about being at the top of mountain with clouds and the sun rising on the horizon that hits different. > own b

A counter point on premium VR headsets. They are teleportation devices. I've used every popular VR device, but one Vision Pro experience stood out - 'The Haleakala environment'[1] It was literally like being transported there

Who is making $3 million/yr at Google ? A Google L9/M3 makes $2 million/yr (per levels.fyi). I feel like a sucker, but I don't know a single person who's made L9/M3 at FANG before 30, and wasn't also the s

Hot take, but 3-generation nuclear families do not work if there are 30-35 years between generations. The average age of childbirth has gone by ~10 years over the last 50 years. So instead of having 22 yr old parents and 45 yr old grandpare
