I did not order a Vision Pro because I don’t really have a use for it yet, and I try to only spend a premium on things I regularly use. This doesn’t mean I am down on the Vision Pro though. I think it sets the bar for spatial interfaces the same way the original Mac set the bar graphical interfaces. The Mac did not popularize the graphical user interface. Windows did, but it took until PC hardware reached the bar set by the Mac.
I feel like headline writers are really missing out on the rare opportunity to use the word “sham” on these “Biden impeachment inquiry” stories.
Loved the discussion of @atpfm about fitness and exercise. As someone who has had a routine for decades, my advice to anyone starting out is to prioritize building the routine over maximizing gains. Exercise takes time and energy. Finding that time and mustering that energy is by far the hardest part initially. Going to get up early and run? Start by walking or do a couch to 5K. The difficulty of the run will pale in comparison to the difficulty of consistently getting up that much earlier.
Inspired by the folks over at @MacStories, here is my current workspace setup.
To the ten other Apple TV users with multiple profiles out there, I just learned that it will automatically switch to a profile if someone with that profile turns on the Apple TV from the Control Center remote on their iPhone.
Judgement at the Gates
A crowd of people lay in clouds bathed in light. One by one, they wake up to notice the shining gates that lay just ahead. Each one makes their way over to find an ethereal figure standing between them and the lone entry way to the beyond. The figure peers down at them for a moment before opening a massive golden ledger. After vigorously paging through its contents, the figure looks disappointed.
“Maybe it’s not our time,” someone mutters.
The figure looks down at them again, clearly annoyed, and with a heavy sigh bellows “it appears you have yet to fill out your self evaluation!”
Silences permeates through the crowd as each soul gradually comes to the exact same realization.
This isn’t heaven.
Note to self: Create a SSO solution dedicated to the needs of chickens. Call it “Bah-GAWk-ta”.
The whole OpenAI saga this past weekend is unprecedented. The closest thing I could think of would be if Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were BFFs when Apple ousted the latter in the mid-80s.
As someone who enjoys most of Wes Anderson’s films, it’s not surprising I found The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar to be absolutely delightful.
