This is my favorite new feature in visionOS 2.0. I have always had double-vision my whole life, but after turning this on I experienced actual stereo depth for the first time ever. It was genuinely emotional.

Yesterday, a man named Andrew Janoff became deliriously enraged by someone waiting for the train while wearing a keffiyeh.
Janoff is seen pushing the person toward the subway tracks, screaming so loudly people standing near him move away, & stalking him on the platform.

Math Notes is the most Bret Victor thing that Apple’s shipped, in recent memory.
Direct manipulation 💯
Handwriting ↔ Charts ↔ Variables coexist in a single coherent medium that doesn’t just mimic paper, it’s computationally-rich.

In case it isn't clear, what Apple has done is the reverse of the search deal (to OpenAI). Rather than get paid, whether they pay a lot or a little it won't matter it will be for a finite time. In this sense it is more like Apple Maps. They have insulated themselves from…
So Apple has introduced a new system called “Private Cloud Compute” that allows your phone to offload complex (typically AI) tasks to specialized secure devices in the cloud. I’m still trying to work out what I think about this. So here’s a thread. 1/

1. One of the main drivers of inflation in the US is skyrocketing rents, which are up 30%+ over the last four years.
So, it's surprising that the recent FBI RAID on a corporate landlord based in Atlanta has received little attention.
The raid was part of a federal probe of an…

The cultural context collapse here is phenomenal. This was so big, Bin Laden had it saved on his hard drive when they killed him. It would scarcely get a like on Tik Tok today. I´m struggling to remember the feeling of novelty that this invoked at the time
