You seem to be fairly ignorant of what visual acuity means, but somehow always show up on every VR/AR article to basically spew the the same 100PPD and half degree moon nonsense. If you are this motivated, maybe spend some time reading up on how acuity depends on temporal, spatial frequencies, luminance and relative contrast? The field isn’t new you know, folks have been studying vision for a bit of time that predates internet. Visual turing test is another nonsensical idea. Catchy term, but there’s literally no display that can pass it. And certainly none that can be commercialized in a headset.

Yeah. Kuo is all over the place. My guess is he talks with Honhai or Pegatron line managers and gives them a lot of "gifts". From what I can tell they just feed him what they know, which is basically internal rumors. Apple doesn’t care because these are in-region, line workers who aren’t paid as much as their direct corporate folks.

Oh I see the points Rockford is making. Yours I don’t. And intellectual isn’t a word I would think of when I read what you wrote every where here. Were you forced to drop out of highschool? Or did you decide it yourself because you were smarter than everyone else?

You understand that "pure law" is made up bullshit that suits the flavor of the times, right? Fact is, if every one agreed that law was an absolute immovable fact, you wouldn’t have civil rights, or voting rights or whatever you can think of. Moral imperative is how laws get made. That’s pretty much these buffoons on SCOTUS like to think with their originalism it seems.

No no no. You aren’t getting it! Our enlightened elder is trying to tell us that women having sex of their desire is bad! They need to treat their bodies with respect! Because they have a responsibility! The responsibility of the Uterus!

Those that don’t have uterus, don’t have such responsibilities, so they can fuck around. But not those who do. :shrug: Simple logic.

So glad we have you to superhero the shit against rest of us butchers! So happy that you in your glorious enlightenment understand the problems us barbarians have, and have figured out the righteous solution based on lessons taught to you by your wise elders and priests.

And I’ve noticed that everyone who is against a right to choose is not pregnant and poor.

- Another nobody making nobody demagogue remarks.

SCOTUS has been a joke for the last 30 odd years. Glad their veneer of dignified diligence and intellectual honesty is now gone. Another legacy, irrelevant institution (another example, public policy making) that needs to be pulled kicking and screaming into the technological era.

All of Meta is Zucks own money. Quest 2 has shown nothing of that sort IMO. Until Google or Apple release a full spectrum device, hard to tell what that lifecycle will be. That’s because android and ios have the real user data and productivity use-cases. Meta only has… ad servicing user profile data, I guess?

Meta’s segment is really a low stick or low tack casual entertainment play. At this point, there’s literally no good argument from them that would show a profitable price point based on HW alone. Quest is at an impulse casual/novelty price point (even with ad frameworks). Raise costs on quest to that of a smartphone level, then people will start asking the hard questions.

We haven’t even seen Metas chops at executing long term device level or OS level support. Remember their expertise is mostly web services. And their current customers are very forgiving and not observant enough. We will see some fun times when they actually try to make a case to the general public.

The fun part is that both Google and Apple will use their mobile phone ecosystems to drive seamless cross device engagement. Meta doesn’t have this, hence their general casual entertainment focus. That is such a tremendous disadvantage that IMO no matter what they do, they will always play third fiddle in the general market.

That would be true a few months ago. Now, they are basically a heartbeat away from having to shut it all down and focus on cashflows. I expect to hear of layoffs in these divisions about a few months after shipping whatever they do.

No other CEO goes into details, because the details are usually not interesting or need to be disclosed to outside folks. I know enough CEOs of F500 companies that know details of how foundries work to how to interpret sensor fail rates and how complex a part design could turn out to be. Remember that they have access to the best of the best in the company, who are all dying to teach a CEO. So I am pretty sure that Musk just spouts off to create a "master chief rocket sciencing engineer" persona, not because he’s smart or actually understands HW engineering or something. He has made so many undergrad errors in his mouthing off sessions that anybody with decent expertise can call out all the ways he’s been wrong.

But yeah, to a lay person, it would look like guy knows jargon and numbers. Like I said, persona building. Guy’s at best a SW coder type engineer. Not even algs.

Yeah. Tesla stock seems about the right thing to compare BTC to.

Ah. Seems like you are terribly interested here. You will have to show me your math here that gets you to 8K per eye

Boss, look at what market "thinks" TSLA’s eventual market size will be – somewhere between 800B to 1T. Then look at the summed market caps of all the actual incumbents that define the current market size today or projected markets for the hypotherical ones over a 10y horizon. You will see a lot of gambling/greed and let-latecomers-hold-the-bags type strategies going on.

Even with all of TSLA’s most optimistically evaluated inherent advantages, it’s at-best market cap, including their FSD noise, their battery-maker-for-others, their robo-taxis, their-share-your-car, powerwall-at-home, solarize this and that, should be ~200B. (Note that was what the market evaluated TSLA at till about 2019. Then growth in TSLA really just took off correlated directly with our glorious friend’s tweeting, memes and fanclubs.)

BUT now, it’s ~3.5 to 5X that. And that’s only explained by greed and misunderstanding. Not value. Companies that approach or cross 1T market caps have rather solid and known markets in place. Mr. king Edgelord keeps throwing his fanclub investors these dog-whistles on social media only to create a perception of being Tony Stark or somesuch similar pop culture genius character, and mostly so he can sell his the islands on which his snakes will be farmed for oil, etc. But in the end he’s another huckster.

As markets do, they will settle. If you buy today, you are only buying bags to hold forever. It’s of course another matter for employees, it’s all upside for many of them.

If you squint enough, this is a classic pump scheme, only with a social media megaphone, image-building, socio-political chest-thumping and posturing etc.

I don’t of course mean to sound downright negative – Guy takes risks, he respins, he hustles. Those can be considered admirable by many.

Yeah sure. Market is down by 20%. TSLA by 40%. Day swings of 20% only reflect bad news, monthly swings reflect trends.

TSLA is basically the grand daddy of meme stocks. The edgelord is just the original edgelord that knows just how to game the system. Tesla split by 12x in the last two-ish years. That’s because they know their investors are basically unsophisticated small dollar/retail folks that are easily fooled with promises and bombast.

And wishes should come with a saddle stirrup combo.

Nah. They are a banking service provider. A middleman providing infrastructure support to traditional banks. But they are using a deep cache of trust in the brand to be the best middleman. And that’s what I would say gives them the greatest risk exposure.

Banks as we know will screw up. And what will that screw up cost apple’s branding? I don’t like it.

Kipman was a loud voice, and a credit hog for other peoples work, but not essential to Hololens.

I know Kipman personally, work acquaintance, who he tried to hire but I went in a different direction. I usually am unaware of who’s being blamed and why, so in general, I see your perspective as fair. But in this case, media is just scratching the surface. They should talk with partners that started before 2013 at msft for more workplace toxin stories. But TBF, he was not alone. Just the most egregious that most talked about.

No he was big before then, vista days. He was just a rando program manager on visual studio and somehow managed to get associated with Johnny Lee and gang to ride the prime sense wave.
