Hey!
Welcome to the second issue of Tres en Uno, where I’ll share 3 things I find cool online every week around Tech, Programming, Startups, and Career Growth.
Here's what's in store this week.
Apple Vision Pro
Apple Vision Pro was launched this week, so how can we not mention it?
My social media feed is filled with videos of people using them everywhere. I haven’t seen something like this for a VR headset. This is what they call the Apple Effect: They are not the first to market, but they are the first to transform it.
The question is, would this become mainstream, or is it just a hyped and people will get tired of it in a couple of months?
Notable mentions
true story; i edited this video on my Vision Pro on a 4k screen that was 11 feet tall and 20 feet wide floating in my living room. i could stand up and walk over to it. looking closely at the cuts and inspecting it like one of those huge wall maps from ww2 movies. https://t.co/AEb6Fn5pKS

LMStudioAI
LM studio allows you to run LLMS on your personal computer, even offline. You can run them on any OS (Windows, Mac, and Linux). LM Studio supports any ggml Llama, MPT, and StarCoder model on Hugging Face (Llama 2, Orca, Vicuna, Nous Hermes, WizardCoder, MPT, etc.)
Wow @LMStudioAI is AMAZING. Just works. I set up local models running on my NVidia and was running in 10 minutes! THEN a local proxy that pretends to be an OpenAI endpoint and I'm writing C# chat apps in airplane mode! https://t.co/3ahw2p20Ty Damn near perfect app #ai #chatgpt pic.twitter.com/lCXITXUIfT

How to Have a Successful Life
Professor Scott Galloway offers a somewhat controversial take on the often-repeated advice to "follow your passion.”
He notes that many successful people, who tell us to chase our dreams, actually made their money in tough jobs like law or medicine, not by following their passions.
Galloway advises finding a job that fits what you're good at, pays well, and isn't terrible, to eventually do what you love in your free time or after you've made enough money.
That was all for today, see you in the next edition.
By the way, if you like this update and believe someone else might as well, feel free to pass it along. Thanks a lot!
