> I think Apple's real problem is that they built machines that can last

No worries, they will be unsupported by the software pretty soon


> The reality is that other people, even those at the top, as individuals, are not as misaligned with you as you think. Your interests only conflict by a moderate amount.

I don't make anywhere near a million a year. Ever spoke to someone who makes 2x as you? Completely disconnected from your reality. Completely disconnected from reality at large. Multiply this for the average worker vs. the average tech bro and you get why the interest conflict by a very wide margin, not a moderate amount.

Stop creating excused for billionaires.


Up until WWII - maaaybe.

After that, hell no, I don't want any of that.


> You can run some/many (depending on your library) of your regular Steam games on a 'flat screen' inside the VR environment

I can already run 100% of my Steam games on a flat screen in front of my real eyes


Not cinema size, and not with your poor eyes focused on "infinite". And not any of this on a plane, or a train, or a self driving car, or an RV.

Your eyes won't be focused on "infinite" in VR either. The focus distance is similar to the distance to the screen on your desk.

Yes, it's around 1-2 meters

People tend to forget that the human eye has 2 ways to adjust for distance: 1. Moving the eyes relative to each depending on parallax (works in VR) 2. Deforming the eyes' lens to match the focal length (is fixed)


But sadly not (officially) in 3D! SuperDepth3D is such a cool concept, I don't need most of my games to be full VR immersive camera experiences, but a nice big virtual full no-limits 3D monitor would be sick.

I can't believe you forgot the toilet.

I like that you specified that the car was self driving, but didn't specify the RV was.

In my head the RV was parked and the VR provides a virtual office in the small space :)

I actually did this. Six month lap around Australia in a caravan with a Quest 3. It was ok; better than squinting at a laptop screen, but not as good as a decent physical monitor. If I did it again I'd convert a bus to have a proper desk/monitor.

My eyes already show as much as I can see.

VR is a solution in search of a problem

I used to be a baker and baked all sort of intricate breads and sweets.

Now a machine does it for me.

To stay in shape every morning I bake a single loaf.


Nope, you hate what capitalism has done with it, not the internet itself.

> I skimmed the lawsuit. As far as I can tell, the complaint is about getting 4 x 15 minute extra breaks during the day and lighter work. Amazon did grant them, but the complaint is that they didn't do it fast enough. There's also something of a disagreement where she expected to be paid for the extra hour of break time every day, but Amazon was counting it as unpaid

That was exactly the point, or the worker would have requested vacation.

Stop kissing corporate's ass.


In this thread:

-zero ultrarunners, hell, probably zero runners

-tons, tons of misogyny.


> have a SKILL that emulates how my supervisor prefers his answers and papers, he used to get triggered by generated stuff, but now it just writes in a style he likes

So your direct superior asked you not to do something and you still worked your way around his preference while feeling cool about of it? Just to save the time of typing?


Clearly the LLM was more than capable to satisfy him, and his conviction was based on pure bias against the technology rather than being grounded in reality.

The only result is that we both have more time. If he didn't like slop, he would catch the new writing as well and I would have to make an effort there, but clearly he is just molded by bias.

Its like people who claim branded stuff is better when it's the same, or that expensive wine/coffee is better when it's about how you serve it. Cognitive bias and stubbornness.
