Work feverishly my devils.

Does anyone know if this change at Reddit has occurred because AI LLMs have mined Reddit for conversational language free of charge?  I am assuming they use the APIs to do this and Reddit wants a piece of the action?

Just asking.

No hospital is going to rely on an Apple consumer product for a safety critical task such as surgery.

Actually healthcare workers prefer to use iPhones and iPads because of their dependability for our clinical work.  As an ICU physician, I relay on multiple iOS applications to get realtime data, communicate to colleagues and get access to drug and disease information.  Apple watches are almost ubiquitous, especially among my anesthesia colleagues.  The ratio of iPhones to android devices among practitioners (physicians, PAs and NPs) is greater than 10:1 in my experience.  Among RNs it is more like the general population with a bit more androids (though iPhones are still more prominent).

And we constantly bitch about the poor design of hospital based IT systems though Epic and Cerner are decent.

When I saw Apple demo the AVP, I immediately began to think about medical applications.  Getting quick data, especially realtime laboratory data is a challenge during medical urgencies & a virtual overlay would be of immense benefit to us.  But obviously you can’t be closed off to your environment in a crisis and need your hands to do procedures.  Time will tell.

In further defense of Apple and their design policies.  My Apple products are by far and away the longest lived consumer products in my home and good design and dust and water proofing are the key components of reducing e-waste compared to products that have user accessed ports.

None of my Palm Pilots, Nokia, Blackberry, Sony phones were as long-lived as my iPhones which are often passed down to others in good working order when I am done with them.

And having centralized expertise in the replacement of batteries prevents hobbyists from discarding them in the trash.

I think “the right to repair” arguments and e-waste issues have little to do with each other.

Perhaps I am misunderstanding something, but the video said that to avoid motion sickness, the latency must be LESS THAN 10ms.  However, isn't the Vision Pro Latency 12ms?

From my read of the article, it sounds like processing based on head movement anticipates where objects should be on the screen to compensate for these slight latency issues.
