Join Platy’S Readwise Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Platy's read, .
Whereas news in the modern social imaginary has the capacity to bring an unlimited number of otherwise unrelated individuals into a single space of deliberation, or to transform the many into one, __news in the jianghu imaginary is a medium of texts whose uses and effects are as heterogeneous and inconstant as the newsmakers’ world itself.__
The Currency of Truth
Emily H. C. Chua
This is a “virtual AR” device, so it’s easy to be fooled into thinking that it’s “just” displaying the camera feed, as Quest does. But it also gathers mesh and lighting information about the room, and it uses that to *transform* the internal projection of the environment in certain cases.
• For instance, [the film player bounces](https://developer.apple.com/wwdc23/10072?time=1046) simulated emissive light from the “screen” onto the ceiling and floor, while “dimming” the rest of the room.
• Controls and interface elements [cast shadows](https://developer.apple.com/wwdc23/10072?time=879) onto the 3D environment.

Andyʼs working notes
The "Apple Fabric" storage in these Macs offers per-file encryption keys (like the storage in iOS devices), and for months, ASR didn't work with it. Apple partially resolved that in macOS 11.3, but even now using ASR to clone the system back to the internal storage of these Macs doesn't quite work – it causes a kernel panic.
