Military families, who will probably be far more anti-socialist than other voter groups, live very socialist lives.
The base commander’s children go to the same schools and played in the same sports teams and bands as the lowest enlisted members kids do.
Commissaries, doctor visits… all the same.

With Apple significantly growing its services revenue per user, growing its user base with lower cost hardware makes a lot more sense than it did 10 years ago.

A common theory I hear is that Apple doesn't want to encourage regular people to buy the Apple Vision Pro right now until Apple, developers, & creators can figure out strong use cases and create content.
Apple Immersive Video end-to-end tooling is just now coming out.

I think of LLMs as lossy compression of the Internet.
They perform well at finding & rephrasing stuff that is already out there, especially if there is a lot of relevant content and not contradictory content.
E.g., ChatGPT usually suggests *deprecated* SwiftUI APIs and not the newer APIs. Grrr.

Maybe in a month or so I may be looking to contract for some low-poly environments, preferably in Blender. Do you know of good sites that lists artists, shows some examples of their works, and provides price estimates?
I don’t even know what I should be budgeting for. $100, $500, $1000, …?

I agree on the aesthetics, and I suspect the marketing people were not happy.
As a user who doesn’t wear my AVP in public, if the strap makes the AVP more comfortable, I’m all in. I’ve ordered one for my M2 AVP. I hope it helps.

I often wonder if I will run into Kim Stanley Robinson at my local grocery store or coffee shop in Davis, CA. I hope I will recognize him if I do.

Gurman criticizes headsets as too isolating, but that is often what we want - to be engrossed in a story.
When we go to the movies, they turn down the lights to isolate you.
When we read a book, our eyes are focused on the page.
Even when playing games, we are focused on the screen.
