JUMP!

These programs became widespread in the 1970s. There are many.

Addendum: not just him; all his fellow residents get the same offers. The 5-year-long residency (after 4 years of medical school & 4 years of undergraduate college) produces about 350 urologists/year in the U.S.

My nephew is in his final year of urology residency, finishing next May. He regularly gets offers of signing bonuses of $1 million to join practices all over the country. The supply/demand ratio in his specialty is insane.

Retired anesthesiologist here. I'm buying Weinberg's book based on your review as soon as I finish this comment. Thanks!

What made it less than ideal for me was the fact that I couldn't see the pitches en route to the batter in the big view — only in the much higher resolution inset "Jumbotron."

Your wait is over.

I received my Vision Pro on release day (February 24, 2004). After trying every feature and use case, today (2.5 years later) the ONLY times I use it are 1) To watch films like "Disclosure Day," "Crime 101," "Dune," etc. in 4k on a virtual 30 foot screen — at any time of day — since I can black out the screen surrounding with the control knob, and 2) Watch the short (10 minutes or so long) Immersive Videos that Apple releases more or less monthly. They're fantastic.

N.B. All use is while lying down flat with my head comfortably supported on a pillow, using Apple's Version 2 headstrap. Only the supine position enables even enough distribution of the device's weight across my forehead and under my eyes such that I can (for the most part) not be aware of the VP's weight.

Live NBA and MLB: FAIL

3D movies: meh

Working with virtual Mac screen(s): FAIL because 1) text is blurry, and 2) headset is just too heavy after 15 minutes or so.

In summary: 1) I would NEVER recommend the device to anyone, and 2) I'm glad I bought it because when in use it's like something that came from the future, the viewing experience is so detailed and enveloping and the sound so perfect.

This for me is the FAIL with both Vision Pro and XReal glasses: blurry text. Can't stand it from the get-go.

Related: I watched one (1) live NBA game on Vision Pro. It was terrible in all ways compared to watching on TV. Same with a live baseball game. Apple doesn't grok sports.

This is the sweet spot Apple's aiming for next year.

Unless like Vision Pro there's a surroundings control that lets you go from total visibility outside the image to complete darkness — within the FOV — in any environment.

Edit: Since the FOV is only 70 degrees, that leaves 110 degrees outside the image, divided between the edges of the glasses and the rest of the room. So for sure in daylight outside light would destroy the theater effect.

An aside re: telephoto lens: Duo doesn't have one! It creates the effect of a 2x lens by enlarging the unmagnified image.
