In this scene, two small light-blue circle UI elements are shown occluded by an Apple Vision Pro wearer's fingertips.

Additionally, the background is a virtual 3D rendering / volumetric scene, so you can also observe how well the hands themselves are being detected by the unit's depth sensors for occlusion against the background itself.

Interesting... Apple offers a Vision Pro 3D simulator for Xcode with different room and lighting environments, so you don't really need a physical Vision Pro AR Headset to develop apps for it.

June 2nd is National Leave the Office Early Day, a holiday created in 2004 by Laura Stack, an expert in enhancing employee productivity. I'm retired so this day no longer has impact on me but during my career I tried to celebrate it weekly when possible.
The pandemic resulted in #WorkFromHome increasing dramatically for a lot of Canadians so leaving early today may be easier for some. Here's some updated stats on #RemoteWork.

Ok, this is it: #egu23 is over already! Pfiu, this went by rapidly and was, once again, intense!

My main takeaway from discussions is that quite a lot of #postdocs now work in one place but live in another. #WorkFromHome seems to be more broadly accepted than in pre-Covid times. Keep that in mind when negotiating your next postdoc position ๐Ÿ˜‰

#academia #WorkLifeBalance

Seeking #recommendations for fully #remote (#WorkFromHome) jobs (not hybrid) that:

- Pay decently ($20/hour or more)
- Hire US workers and allow one to move within the US and remain employed.
- Donโ€™t require talking with customers.
- Donโ€™t require a college degree.

I've learned a lot more about cooking in the past few years, not only because the pandemic (although the it gave me a push), but just from a logistical standpoint. I'm work from home, and wifey has to drive over an hour to Phoenix every day (๐Ÿ™„).

I think that she likes that I'm now able to cook better and more often. As soon as I'm off work here at home, I start thinking of/making dinner. That's another big advantage of wfh. I can't imagine her driving over an hour to get home then having to make dinner. It doesn't make sense. Even though she is a GREAT cook. She taught me a lot. Like what things go together, etc. She's vegetarian now and we try to eat semi healthy (cutting sugar and fat just when we can), so I try to work all that in. Using odd leftover ingredients sometimes, experimenting- it's pretty cool, actually. Sometimes you feel like a mad scientist. ๐Ÿคฃ

The most important thing probably to all of it is figuring out what ingredients you always need to have around, finding them at the best prices, and making sure you use them fast enough before they go bad- which is always tricky, especially with fruits and veggies.

I used to hate cooking (all I did before was eggs or microwaved stuff, really) and I think I kinda still do hate the process and effort (I'm not one of those people who gets a lot of gratification from stuff I've cooked, I barely like food ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ) but I gather up the energy required, and I enjoy knowing that

Having an air fryer has really helped, and I can't stress this enough. If you're on the fence, just get one. I use it literally daily. You can air fry all KINDS of things-- veggies, meat, it's incredible. Probably best not to totally cheap out on it though, as we've been through a few. Ours is a Ninja.

I also set up a Trello board with a bunch of meal ideas, after people on here gave me great advice- if you want to see that, it's here!

https://trello.com/b/OTvHEzEd/breakfasts-lunches-dinners-snacks

We do a little meal planning, as I also make her breakfast and pack her a lunch, as she puts on makeup/does hair in the morning, and again, it just makes sense. I don't need to look any certain way, I rarely leave the house!

This one got a little long. Maybe I'll throw it on Substack eventually? I'm not super active there (yet).

Is this the solution to too much sitting when we #WorkFromHome?

https://github.com/everythingishacked/Semaphore

The 21st century has seen a return to the #CottageIndustry - a form of production that once saw workers labor far from their bosses and thus beyond their control - but shriven of the autonomy and dignity that working from home once afforded:

https://doctorow.medium.com/gig-work-is-the-opposite-of-steampunk-463e2730ef0d

The rise and rise of #bossware - which allows for remote surveillance of workers in their homes and cars - has turned "#WorkFromHome" into "#LiveAtWork."

We need to make #WorkFromHome mandatory for all positions that can do so, and convert all resulting vacant office spaces into residential units. This would simultaneously eliminate most of the #CarbonEmissions from commuting AND solve the #HousingAffordability crisis.

Work commutes offer space to both mentally transition from work to home roles and to start psychologically recovering from the demands of the workday.

So even if people canโ€™t agree on whether itโ€™s time to #returntotheoffice, many workers miss the commute.
