I'd try anti-facerecognition make-up first and wearing a mask later. Do you switch off wifi on your phone when out and about, to avoid tracking via networks your phone wants to connect to?

Meta seems to have sold 10 million already - that's more than the first iPhone ever sold (although, the market for AR glasses is probably smaller than for pocket computers)

P.s.: I know a cooking-influencer who is using the meta-glasses professionally: Handsfree filming from a POV-perspective seems to be the killer-app here. I've been doing professional video in the past, POV is a thing - we used gopros for that, but glasses with a built in camera seem like the better solution, because you can frame images better. Otoh, the tiny chip inside the frame won't make pretty or bright images. Seems a little niche to me, but less niche than 360 cameras which also seem to sell quite well.

"AR" doesn't mean "has a display" - you can augment the reality with audio alone just fine. But, yes, it's pretty obvious: They failed to develop the tech fast enough to deliver glasses with displays with the desired form-factor, functionaity and price within the planned timeframe - and the vision pro was a flop that didn't boost adoption or drive prices of components down. Meanwhile, Meta released their displayless glasses and they were more successfull than anyone thought possible - so now Apple wants a part of that, if only to salvage the millions Cook sunk into AR-development.

Isn't that what is already happening? I'd argue that LLMs will get feedback-loops and other, specialized LLMs for crosschecking and permanent storage like we store information in our brain it can access (isn't all that vectoring very similar to how neurons work - now we might just need some upscaling, minituarization, cheaper hardware and specialiced sections just like in the human brain. So, I guess that "needs human oversight, context and special knowledge"-part will go away. AI is still in it's infancy, we got the principles of LLMs down, but most LLMs are very generally trained and agentic AI is still new, Niw there's the long dark road of optimization and connection of different parts ahead. So, yes, programmers will become AI-babysitters, but I wouldn't build a career on that.

I mean, it's scifi. Aliens with weird sexes, pansexual cosmic deities, changing genders, non human forms of sexuality, alien matriarchs, sexless (but 'fully functional') androids... you name it, that's one thing that scifi is about. AND it's about reflecting the present. So, there's no reason things like this should not feel at home in Star Trek or even make good scifi. Unless it's written sonbadly that it destroys the "suspension of disbelief" and feels forced.

Anyone with even an ounce of understanding must have known that those scripts were just bad and stupid. It has nothing to donwith "wokeness" or ticking boxes - it's just if your scripts are so bad that it shows that they were written with that in mind, it makes them even worse. Hopefully it's a lesson.

Also, it's probably even legal. Where can I buy seeds? Not asking for a friend.

Interesting - but I highly doubt that this will be ready in 1 1/2 years. Seems more like an attempt to suck up to the dear leader. Nucular

It totslly clogged up my bosses inbox, because it sent it in 10MB bites. So I had to come over in the middle of the night and fix that for her. Gross.

I mean, who wiuld have thought that this was going to end upnin a commercial world model? Every mature Pokemon Go player?

Libre Office's UI is not great and also pretty ugly, and, yes, clunky. But in comparison to Microsoft's Ribbon-UI, it still takes the (looser)-crown by a mile. Can't stand both of them, but if ever in doubt, I'd take the better - and cheaper - one.

for these guys is they are that good," - how to sound like a dumb, cliche staff sergeant in a bad movie script.

I don't know about NY-salaries, but including school holidays, 70k a year should get me a private teacher per pupil, right?

That's just pathetic. In my late teens/early twenties, I read about 2-3 novels a week. Calling someone who reads 1/10 of that a "Megareader" sets a very, very low bar. It's ok-is for a moderate reader, but you're privably a really slow reader, have very little time or are just not interested in a book, if you take a month to read it. (Unless it's like a 1000+ pages/letter size 9 philosophical tractatus)
