Yeah - I’ve tried metas controllers and it felt clumsy and effortfull to use the UI. The descriptions of Apple’s eye tracking sound far superior. Why wouldn’t makers of light saber…

> won’t have a controller standard to work against There is no reason this is how it would play out.

By haptics you mean a buzzer? That doesn’t replicate any kind of real-world experience. But again - there is no reason gamers can’t have a control, but it’s silly to use a game con…

It’s compatible with any Bluetooth controller, but I see no reason it would be a nonstarter. Remember it has full hand tracking. If you want to hold something e.g. a lightsaber or …

From the early reports, there is nobody saying they have to focus in some special way - you just look at the control, and tap.

> Are these people similarly traumatized when they open a desk drawer or photo album and happen to see an old photo that evokes sad memories? This sounds like a plot point from a 1…

The rest of the article puts it in context. They have had bad experiences with the photos app prompting them with inappropriate ‘memories’, and this is reminding them of that.

Confirmation bias is never a prior.

This isn’t true.

The headline is an outright lie. Later in the article they say: Some kinds of data are always end-to-end encrypted, even with the default standard data protection: Passwords and Ke…

Will they? It seems like tracking hands and objects directly provides much more information than gripping the two sides of a broken in-half Xbox controller.

That makes sense - it looked very much like a pure open source project. I wonder if they came to him or if someone else facilitated it as opposed to it being his initiative.

> I can’t help think Apple’s sudden interest in making web apps more useful has to do with visionOS. Of course it does. But that has nothing to do with the cynical conspiratorial m…

I think you know that downloading an unsigned binary from the internet and executing it on your personal machine is utter stupidity from a security point of view.

No it’s not. It needs to be updated in order for it to run without that warning. If the user has permission to disable the warning, they can, otherwise the app needs to be updated.…

Presumably the endgame for Neuralink is to give people direct perception of the truth, as determined by TruthGPT from the content on Twitter.

All you have to do is try one in an Apple store when they come out, and then you’ll be able to get a better understanding. It’s easy to just claim it’s worthless without firsthand …

From the keynote you can see that it supports Bluetooth keyboards and a giant set of apps and media out of the gate, and its OS is a continuation of that couple of decades of legac…

Am MBP plus a studio display is about $3.5k. Nobody seems to object to that pricing.

A lot of postmodern thought results in the formation of cults, in which people occupy a virtual world inside their own minds.

Most US developers are not producing versions for Chinese app stores. That’s a red herring. Of course individual products have their own idiosyncrasies, but is it in fact the case …
