Readit NewsYou can choose 4k resolution and get extra real estate
Running late, took a webex call from the back of my minivan on my MacBook Pro. Except I had enough screen real estate with the virtual monitor to do work during the boring parts. The best part was going full immersion and hearing the rain falling on a high mountain lake in between people speaking.
I also usually wake up overnight and want to work, but can’t because my office is located in the master bedroom. Now I can sit on my couch and not have to hunch over.
Finally, I took my dog to the dog park and worked with no screen glare and big virtual display
Also, watching movies on the moon is pretty cool.
This one just doesn’t feel as big. When the iPad was introduced, everyone was shocked by the very low price and the sleek form factor compared to previous Windows tablet devices.
Those are exactly the weak points of the Vision Pro: it’s very expensive and very heavy, according to reports.
The hands-on sessions that Apple gave to journalists earlier this week seemed a bit underwhelming. The reporter for the Verge wrote that it feels like the Quest, but with higher resolution.
That’s a worrying sign! Imagine if the first hands-on of the iPhone had been “it’s like a BlackBerry but with better DPI screen.”
Of course Apple is usually very good at consistently evolving their platforms. Maybe the non-Pro model will be something else.
We went to a weekly music event and noticed that people were talking, dancing, laughing while the kids were playing in the grass/dirt and climbing trees. Not a single person was filming.
Felt nice. Not saying it’s not ok to be on your phone, but it does seem to act as “social armor” allowing people an easy way to avoid full immersion in situations.
Arguably the guy did nothing worthy of admiration. Sure he managed to multiply cashflow, but on my books that doesn't stand nearly to definition of hero.
Don't get me wrong - I enjoy his books and interviews perhaps like everyone else. He was incredibly smart character, no doubt about that. But hero?
Not trolling, genuinely curious.
Genuinely wondering who your heroes are?
Could be a case of mismatched focuses. If someone is focused on tech, they might idealize Musk or Jobs. If someone has roots in the financial realm, they might thing Buffet is their hero.
That’s why I’m asking. Is it possible you can’t understand why Munger is a hero to some because you don’t live in that world?
For the record my heroes are Steve Irwin and my Aunt Patty, so it’s also completely subjective and highly contextual.
It does all this in sub 10% of the time I would have spent “googling” things.
I don’t want it to write the whole thing for me anyway :)
I think Altman is a brilliant guy and surely he'll fall on his feet, but I think it's legitimate to ask to what extent he's responsible for many of us using ChatGPT every single day for the last year.
Altman now doubt played a role in that, objectively this means change. Just not sure in which direction yet.
Can’t tell, but this news is a pain in my a$$
Thanks for the drama openai.
Comment: "You shouldn't do A, it's better to do B"
Closed, duplicate of "How to do C".
Yeah sure, in the beginning, there were many more basic questions (how to increase number by 1, how to get division remainder, how to check if file exists,...), and if you're coding in Perl, you can still find all the answers... if you're working in python, you'll find answers for python2, some for python3, some specific to python2.6, etc... if you ask again, it'll be closed as a duplicate.
I know it's anecdotal, but after a few bad experiences, people just decide not to use that specific site anymore.
I used to try to code in the quest3 but the resolution felt like I might as well be coding on my phone. I'll go buy one today if this would be an office replacement for me.
Now I can sit on my couch in a much more comfortable and ergonomic? position with 4k screen size virtual display.
Plus I can watch movies with the sound on and not wake anyone up.
