Can confirm, has been flawless for me. I waited until 2 weeks after release to upgrade, possible I avoided some initial friction that way.

The only device I’ve found more sluggish after this recent OS upgrade is my Apple Watch Ultra (gen 1).

Animations when navigating the OS are noticeably sluggish where the previous version was smooth as butter. This degradation has persisted through multiple minor version updates since, so it seems to be permanent.

Disappointing for what is marketed as the most powerful watch in their lineup.


Isn’t that exactly what the title says?


Indeed. Also confused.


Some would say it has lately become a bit of a kangaroo court.


> I'd like some day to be able to bike down the street with my kid, and have the drone take some photos.

Personal drones in public spaces are becoming a real nuisance. They’re disturbing, and the majority of people seem unable to fly them in a safe and respectful manner.

Others on the same bike path should enjoy without the risk of having a drone slam into their face.

In my opinion, rules around personal drone usage are FAR too relaxed, and enforcement is absolutely minimal.


Paying is necessary, but not sufficient, to win.

In her case, the campaign started too late. And despite being a household name, her policies were less known.


> Paying is necessary

Donald Trump would like a word.


Do I understand correctly that you're saying Donald Trump got lots of support from social networks and TV for free?


I cook all of these on a regular basis, and have done so for 15 years, and I’ve never had Xanthan gum in my house. I wouldn’t even know where to find it in my grocery store.


Not really. Early rockets included multiple private contractors like Douglas, Boeing and NAA, but those were basically government projects top to bottom.

Single vendor commercial rockets are a recent (2000s) invention.


Think of how wasteful and inefficient multi-vendor rockets are as a concept. What complex machine would you engineer in such a way? Would you have the government, rather than buy cars from Ford, GM, Tesla, etc, instead contract out the production to one company for the motor, one for the frame, and one for the interior and instrumentation?


It was the only way to do it at the time, no company would have had the capacity for such a project, including reserves for damages. And even in private businesses it is common to outsource specific elements to external suppliers. The Saturn program was massive.


Meta’s Llama models (and likely many others') have similar restrictions.

Since they don’t fully comply with EU AI regulations, Meta preemptively disallows their use in those regions to avoid legal complications:

“With respect to any multimodal models included in Llama 3.2, the rights granted under Section 1(a) of the Llama 3.2 Community License Agreement are not being granted to you if you are an individual domiciled in, or a company with a principal place of business in, the European Union. This restriction does not apply to end users of a product or service that incorporates any such multimodal models”

“The city” refers to Manhattan specifically, not New York City in general. Being in the other boroughs, you might say “I’m heading to the city later”.


Or if you're upstate and going to one of the boroughs, you'll generally refer to it by name. "I'm going to Brooklyn / Queens / the Bronx", not "I'm going to the city" or "I'm going to New York City".


I see what you are saying but one could easily go to two or more of those boroughs in single trip.


This is a strange take given that the headset supports iPad apps (like the Netflix iPad app) by default, no “bothering with it” necessary.


Netflix specifically opt out of Vision Pro. Their iPad app won’t be available:

iPads run iPhone apps by default, but it's terrible. How does Vision Pro running iPad apps compare?


On another hand, ARM Macs can run some iOS/iPad apps, and plenty of them work great and with zero issues. Not all, ofc, but many do. I think it’s because of zero expectations of them having to fill the entirety of your screen, so you just have it running in a window on your desktop, and it is quite good.

I would assume the situation with Vision Pro would be closer to Macs running iPhone/iPad apps, as opposed to iPads running iPhone apps. Mostly because of a similar “desktop with windows” feel I get from visionOS videos I’ve seen, as opposed to the “smartphone experience” feel i get on both iPadOS and iOS. Until I get my own hands on a VisionPro unit next week, this is just pure speculation though.


John Gruber says they work great. I guess we will see.


I believe it’s up to developers whether iPad apps work on Vision, and Netflix isn’t even doing that.
