The lies the authoritarian right tells itself; just friends friending around; transformer models and vector databases; & Ip critiques Bidenomics, Tolkien says "felix culpa!", Troughton-Smith wants...
Actually existing religiosity is much higher in Ukraine than in Russia; Michael Warren Davis' dreams of Russian religiosity are effective altruism-style projections for the future. Patriarchy, on the other hand, is indeed stronger in Russia. Is that a "revealed preference"?
The Revolution of Dignity was the epitome of a bottom-up, anti-elite revolution; the elites, among whom we must certainly count Yanukovych, were quite happy to be corrupted by Russia. That is why Ukraine's current leader, who is also its historically best and most popular leader, is a Jewish comedian. And there is another revealed preference.
IP, Biden's China/Climate industrial policy needs to be multilateralized . Our and our friends supply chain and climate investments will cost less if firms have the alternative of locating them in the lowest cost venue.
The use case for the Vision Pro is, I think, being able to sit down in a hot-desking situation, pull out a portable keyboard and touch device*, and instantly have the equivalent of a multi-monitor set-up materialize in front of your eyes, where you can spread your various application windows out and cross-reference them as you work on complex tasks. Exactly as Steve Troughton-Smith says, that gets even better if you embed the _whole computer_ in the headset, rather than having the laptop and headset as two separate parts.
* I guess they do have gestural controls in place already that look like they may be good enough to replace a touchpad / mouse / trackball, though existing apps may require extensive updates to make that work. I am pessimistic that the AR projected keyboard is going to be an adequate replacement for a real keyboard any time soon, though. Tactile feedback is a huge part of being able to type rapidly.
It really depends on whether wearing the headset is an annoyance—physically or psychologically. If not, it is cheaper than two highest-quality external monitors or one Apple crazy status monitor device. And it would be very nice, he says, seated at the table on his deck in the sunshine, to have all my windows visible, rather than buried four layers deep on my monitor...
Yeah, I edited my comment after going and reading some more about it...
I'm pretty skeptical of their keyboard concept, but the gestural controls look pretty solid.
I have fairly extensive experience with the PS VR2. I can wear it continuously for about two hours before I need a break. If the Vision Pro is as good or better -- which seems very likely -- that seems like long enough that you could get a decent bit of work done, take a 15-20 minute break, and get back to it.
Thinking about this some more, I suspect it may make sense to still keep some portion of the functionality of a laptop out of the headset, but rather put it into a tablet-like device that can be set down on a table or on your lap, and connected to the headset with a magsafe cable (perhaps redundantly coupled using Bluetooth, so losing the cable slows things down but doesn't cause things to crash, like unplugging the a hard drive unexpectedly might). If you want a physical keyboard anyways, then why not also offload the weight of your TB of storage, and anything else you can that doesn't need ultra-low latency? That also lets you stick a couple USB ports on.

The folks at First Things are just Manicheans.
Which is quite odd. Augustine left Manicheanism behind on the way to becoming Christian. The First Things folks go the other way.

Anstey: I wonder if this is what is reflected in another drop in TIPS today?

It already has the downward-facing cameras...

I suspect the tactile keyboard and the game controller will be with us for a long time yet...
