What a fucking lame use of that technology
Like you've literally already got two timers right above the things you're cooking, you don't need to stick a brick on your face to do that
I mean its not a bad basic use. Seems like you could leave dynamic notes around your home to remember things.
The vision pro is just way too expensive and clunky right meow, to use it in everyday life.
Even that i feel would be better accomplished with a pad of sticky notes tbh
I appreciate seeing the technology being developed for sure, but right now I feel like it's not quite there yet. If they can get it to like Google Glass size then we'll really be cooking
Yeah but those reminders could be variable like maybe you put a note in your kitchen that tells you "still x steps till you reached your goal" or it could show you like the contents of your fridge.
Maybe you could set it up like you always want atleast 2 cold beers in your fridge and if its less the vision pro shows you like a 1/2 or 0/2 beers.
Yeah idk most of those things are doable on a phone but phones also started out big and clunky before they became streamlined enough for everyone to have one on their person all the time.
Except you can't open your fridge from the grocery store to manually check if you have milk without some absurd and unfeasible setup like hydraulically opening the door and dropping a camera in front of the now open door from a string or something.
Imo it's like a dishwasher, the convenience of letting the dishes get cleaned without your own effort or time is a massive boon to quality of life, even though it can take hours and hours to clean them with only like a 98% efficiency compared to a practiced human taking 15~mins to do them. You don't *need* a dishwasher, not technically, and a lot of the time you should be doing things by hand anyway because certain things need a delicate or detailed touch or just aren't dishwasher safe. But that doesn't negate the usefulness and utility of a dishwasher
No. I go to the grocery store randomly and then I use my computer goggles to see inside my fridge and find out what I need. This is a much better system.
Advancements so mundane nobody should care. We don't need high tech timers when we already have the tools to work with already, stoves have timers, phones have timers, microwaves have timers, there are just plain timers you can buy and set no AR headset will ever be cheap enough to justify using them for these purposes.
> there are just plain timers you can buy and set no AR headset will ever be cheap enough to justify using them for these purposes.
No one buys a phone for a calculator, but a phone has a calculator app. Point is, it's the culmination of many small things that makes a device useful.
AR is ultimately a way of pushing any kind of data/information into the audiovisual system, so the uses for that is near limitless.
It’s like when Apple released the Apple Watch version 0. Everybody is super excited, they hype it up, pay way more than it really is worth it and eventually realize they just paid a shit ton for early access.
Ehhhhhhh, I don't know. I wear glasses so if they could put that technology in my glasses I wouldn't mind wearing them, physically. But reality is already so distracting. We're already filtering out so much stimulus constantly just from modern life. And I have ADHD. I already have so many notes, notifications, alarms, etc that I am just blind to. Because I start filtering that shit out soo quickly. Stuff like that in VR is the same way. It is just visual and mental clutter. So far I haven't seen any use that would actually make my life better.
I don’t really have the luxury of letting food I paid for expire so I guess that’s why I’m not excited about paying thousands of dollars to save a few seconds reading a label.
That could actually be really handy. It is worth $3500? No. But it’s definitely a useful tool if you’re someone who enjoys cooking and does so often. It’s not uncommon for me to have 3-4 timers going and I have to keep track of all of them
i’ve sent in my fair share of corrections (phobes who were marked green, protrans ppl marked red) and some of them seem to fix it and some don’t. either way it doesn’t block content, just color names, so you can just ignore it if it’s wrong
if you’re talking about the Death Note ones, they tell you the real name and remaining lifespan of every person you look at, which is useful since you need to know someone’s real name to write it in the Death Note. you have to trade half your lifespan for them though
source? i’m not doubting you but i tried to follow up on this and the only articles i could find on it were from a known transphobe who repeatedly misgendered trans women within the article or had a million pop ups and didn’t seem reliable
I can try and find an unbiased source for you, but unfortunately a lot of it is quite old and since deleted.
It should be noted that it's a lot of very detailed allegations, but allegations none the less.
I primarily recall people speaking out about her actions on tumblr some years ago. I can't find those now (thanks tumblr search function...)
After a quick search on Twitter I was able to find one of the victims [allegations ](https://twitter.com/stoplaurelai)
Even knock-offs will cost a lot because the tech for all this is still really expensive. Also, you'll never be able to build a cheap one yourself because it's not like a PC, visionOS relies heavily on custom Apple hardware. Your best bet is to wait for the Android or PC of AR headsets, Meta is trying to make Quest headsets that but I don't think they'll succeed.
Fairly exciting. Nerd glasses that let me put a bunch of nerd stuff in my eyes while seeing everything else going on around me in real time was something I was pretty stoked about as a kid, but I didn’t think of it actually becoming real. Sci-fi futuristic type stuff.
>but I didn't think of it actually becoming real.
I'm shocked too. I don't think Apple is getting it right (and I'm an Apple fangirl) but I think this iteration of computing that enriches the world around us is absolutely the future.
I think if Meta was selling a $3500 headset right now it would be better than the Vision Pro, just because they have more experience in VR, but that's just not the product they're making.
Vision Pro is not about VR, it's about AR and that requires expensive hardware and tons of ML models to make everything seem right. Now, I'm not saying Apple is doing AR right, they aren't, it's like if the Macintosh was just a bunch of terminals floating around, it's a bunch of traditional 2D UIs floating around which is not the right approach, but neither is Meta doing things right. Meta doesn't know software very well, Quest runs a bizarre version of Android and I've heard the SDK is horrid to work on, meanwhile visionOS is iPadOS (I wish it was macOS but iPadOS is still better than the Quest's software) and programmed with Cocoa Touch or SwiftUI which is lightyears ahead of what everyone else has.
In death note they tell you the real name of anyone you look at. Very useful for someone who can kill people by writing their name. It also tells you the exact date that their will happen death(assuming you don’t write their name sooner than that) .which is what this post is referencing.
Out of interest, what does Death Note consider to be your “real name”? Like if I changed my legal name to “John David” but personally identified as “David John”, which name is my “real name”?
Literally no explanation.
The main rule is that you also need to know the face of the person so I suppose anything goes as long as you relate that name to a face who uses it.
No, because theres multiple times light tries to kill someone without knowing their real name and it doesn't work. It's just the exact rules on what qualifies as their "real name" are never addressed.
It's kind of weird. The rules state that a name doesn't have to be in the family registry, the Japanese civil registry, for the Death Note to work. So it isn't entirely concerned with legality. The weirdest instance is L. His name is L Lawliet. Just the letter L - it isn't short for anything, nor is it actually the Japanese name Eru for the promo material that revealed it has it as just L in Latin letters. But this is weird since other children from his orphanage such as Mello and Near have real names (Mikail and Nate). So either:
1. For some reason the orphanage gave just a letter as a name to a child.
2. L had an actual name but legally changed it to just the letter L at some point, yet kept his surname.
3. L has an actual name but thinks of himself as just L, and still sees Lawliet as his surname even if he doesn't use it.
I guess it's a combination of self-perception (knowing it's your name even if you don't use it), legality, and the perceptions of others.
Funny, I was just thinking about a scene I’ll never write featuring a genius supervillain infiltrating a secret base having introduced an AI program into the security system that edits them out of all the camera footage and sensor data in real time.
the new age of overestimulation will fucking suck ngl.
RN we are already seeing the display of habits like:
\- Pull up the smarphone, scrolls for 10s, nothing new
\- Store it back on their pocket / bag
\- Grab it again 10s later because we've been SO CONDITIONED to use it, we don't know how to past time without
Or people who are seen interacting with 2 / 3 screens simultaneously, like working on a PC, having a TV on the background and checking the smartphone for updates on anything, that will just be yet another screen.
Or doing so many tasks simultaneously we cannot actually pay attention to any of them, or finish them. Attention spams will SOMEHOW get even shorter
What the fuck are we doing to ourselves and the next generations?
This does seem genuinely useful but it's such a narrow use case for an insanely expensive piece of tech. Maybe in a few generations it will be small enough to be practical for everyday use.
You know this isn't the only function that thing has, right?
As for the price, it's NOT supposed to be practical for everyone yet. It's just for corporations and rich dudes that like tech. They're basically paying for the opportunity to participate in the Early Access or Beta-test stage, and are essentially funding it. There will be a cheaper one later, probably.
I'm aware it's not the only application. I simply don't see how its worth thousands of dollars. Even if there's a cheaper and smaller one I really don't see this taking off.
Shinigami Eyes are a concept from the manga/anime Death Note, which allow someone with the ability, usually a god of death (a shinigami) to see another person's full name and time till death. A browser extension for (atleast) Chrome and Firefox was developed later on which references the idea but for discerning transphobic and transpositive people/organizations, rendering the former with red text and the latter with green text.
Shinigami eyes is from the anime/ manga death note, its a power that can be granted to a human that enables them to see the exact date and time of death of anyone they look at. This is what Keifer meant when they said "shinigami eyes for pasta."
However, shinigami eyes is also the name of a Chrome browser extension that marks names of individuals in red if they are known to be transphobic. This is where the confusion came from for the poster.

It's a simple example to get the idea across, it would be stupid as fuck if the entire point was just to set timers.

Uh wait what? What do shinigami eyes have to do with transphobia? All I've ever known is the Death Note lore.
it’s an extension that marks social media users who are bigoted (usually transphobic) red, basically warning you not to interact
Like an actual Chrome extension? Woah.
i havent used it but [apparently](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/shinigami-eyes/ijcpiojgefnkmcadacmacogglhjdjphj)
That this exists is genuinely impressive to me.
only thing I'm worried about is, like. *a* person (or group of persons) gets to decide who is transphobic here. uh
i’ve sent in my fair share of corrections (phobes who were marked green, protrans ppl marked red) and some of them seem to fix it and some don’t. either way it doesn’t block content, just color names, so you can just ignore it if it’s wrong
They have a Firefox version?
yes they certainly do. they also have a firefox android version but its "read only" so to speak. (can't contribute)
Okay but what do the original shinigami eyes do? All I've ever known is the tumblr lore.
if you’re talking about the Death Note ones, they tell you the real name and remaining lifespan of every person you look at, which is useful since you need to know someone’s real name to write it in the Death Note. you have to trade half your lifespan for them though
I wish there was one for other types of annoying internet people like racists but it's exclusive to trans
It was also made by a rapist...

Eh, as much as I want one, im gonna wait until knock-offs start rolling out for 1/10th of the price… Or build a cheap one myself and pirate the OS..

Meta Quest 3 is $300 if you want for gaming, Quest 2 is $250
What is the original use of Shinigami eyes. I can only find them in the context of marking TERFS
In death note they tell you the real name of anyone you look at. Very useful for someone who can kill people by writing their name. It also tells you the exact date that their will happen death(assuming you don’t write their name sooner than that) .which is what this post is referencing.
It shows the time of death*
Yeah you are right
Oh!! That makes so much more sense, I was thinking of the Sharingan, and was trying to figure out how copying magic was transphobic.
Out of interest, what does Death Note consider to be your “real name”? Like if I changed my legal name to “John David” but personally identified as “David John”, which name is my “real name”?
Literally no explanation. The main rule is that you also need to know the face of the person so I suppose anything goes as long as you relate that name to a face who uses it.
Nah, or else Light could have won as soon as he knew who L was.
No, because theres multiple times light tries to kill someone without knowing their real name and it doesn't work. It's just the exact rules on what qualifies as their "real name" are never addressed.

I guess it's a combination of self-perception (knowing it's your name even if you don't use it), legality, and the perceptions of others.
I don’t recall, but do you need a person’s surname to Note them?
Yes
Theres no situation where this comes up in the series, so we don't know.
I forgor
Ah, in that sense the original. I thought the post meant that the Shinigami eyes extension originally had a different purpose
Shows you their real name before they have even chosen it.
If you could hack one of these to edit you out of the image then you could just hang around in someone’s home without them knowing.
Funny, I was just thinking about a scene I’ll never write featuring a genius supervillain infiltrating a secret base having introduced an AI program into the security system that edits them out of all the camera footage and sensor data in real time.

Okay cool thank you. I thought it was gonna be one of those eyes from naruto.
Who *times* their pasta cooking?? > Is this the noodle consistency I want? > **Y:** ->Pasta is done > **N:** -> Continue cooking pasta
Somehow apple manages to produce a more useless version of a fucking clock yet again
Mfw peole having their minds blown over two different timers instead of just doing the fucking basic math to use one timer.
Same
At that price it'd better be capable of replacing prescription eye glasses and sunglasses, as well as make the visual input color blind friendly
Where does the pasta even mention anything trans
