Tres en Uno [#2]: Apple Vision Pro, Run LLMs from your laptop, and How to Have a Successful Life

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?

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.
