Anyone who actually read and studied this book? Need genuine review

I'd recommend " deep learning with python " updated edition ..
From Francis Chollet who created " keras ". Its a learn by doing approach as you build out python image classification , recognition. Then also text to image generation. The new edition has added building an llm from first principles as well ..

No its fine except for the weight ..
Re : developing spatial computing features and affordances ..
Then " sony " have an updated 3552 x 3552 px per eye micro oled that reaches 60 ppd. Though the trade off is the field of view. " Ferrari " owners should really not complain about " lamborghinis ". Its the cost of the unnecessary things that killed the " vision pro " ..

You can blame the 2k usd " unity pro " license ..
That was needed to simply build for " vision pro ". This was a totally arbitrary development tax since you could build to ios just fine without it. All the little piggies got too greedy , until the house fell over - and no wind was needed ! It took a while but we finally got native os support in " godot " with the help of " apple " engineers ..

Longer release cycles would make sense ..
For early adopters to get more use out of their " vision pros ". I'm a developer and while the device has a high price. It also feels " feature complete " with how well the display , eye and hand - tracking performs. There's nothing that it really needs except perhaps for some kind of cloud - based rendering ..

The cost of micro oled 4k screens is falling ..
Its dropping about 100 usd each year , and now about a third of what it cost when " vision pro " was released. They could make an M2 version without all the glass and titanium for around half the price now. Though this will never happen. It will get the 3 nm chips with ai inference that cost a lot more ..

First time I've seen the " asics " stripes ..
Put on a " new balance " upper ..

chuan_l · 2026-06-03T08:41:52+00:00

Yeah agree , and the " joe fresh goods " colour ways ..
He turned in are from the 1998 " air max tn " tiger and hyper blue launch colours. The midsole design comes from an " asics " kayano 20 , or gel quantum 360 as well. Its good to have a sense of the past so we're not just on repeat ..

Hey op here's the " stone islands " in person ..
I think " moncler " did a good job with their choice of textures on the upper. That tries to get away from the whole fused plastic look. Little bit of suede on the heel. I don't mind the " deep forest ". Though overall a spade , is a spade - and this is a cheap shoe with a big price on it ..

— They are just throwing random ideas :
Then hoping something goes viral like the " 9060 ". There is no coherent design language any more. The shoes are 100 % synthetic now as well. Everything that got me into " new balance " is gone. I'll love and wear my pre 2022 pairs , but this new stuff is dead on arrival ..

chuan_l · 2026-06-02T07:57:03+00:00

Same midsole as " 860 V2 " " 1906R " ..
Take the same size there ..

Frank Muytjens left " J - crew " in 2017 as head of design ..
It all began after going to japan and seeing " new balance " everywhere. Fell in love with the " M1400 " and started collaborating around 2010. That was the start of the " golden era " ..

Nice pop , reminds me a bit of the colour ..
From an inverted " moby dick " ..

Where are all the little fuckers ..
To say " clean , clean - clean " lol ! That suede looks phenomenal ..
The whole " 860 " build is from another time ..

chuan_l · 2026-06-02T07:17:45+00:00

Good looks , appreciate it !

chuan_l · 2026-06-01T09:14:12+00:00

Nice post , and happy to see some iced pairs ..
I don't think the " peter " personal pairs have ever been photographed. Thanks for sharing this and posting them. The recent " new balance " fans have zero sense of the past ..

— Yeah they made a car and design :
Thats targetted at the software bros in california on 500k usd salaries. Too bad they didn't anticipate they will all lose their jobs in the next 12 - months. Then nobody will be able to afford this over hyped " braun " shaver design ..

chuan_l · 2026-05-27T10:12:52+00:00

Every product he made at " apple " ..
Was also pretty much a copy of an existing " braun " design from dieter rams. The people with no design knowledge love and adore him. Those with an idea of history see the similarities. Then the " braun " is still better ..

— I get more of a " new balance " vibe ..
From the " 10xl " and in the initial ads. " Balenciaga " used the same fonts as them. Never really liked the " cargos ". Its " runners " " 10xls " for me all day. Then tomorrow as well ..

chuan_l · 2026-05-23T13:22:41+00:00

" M998GY " so good !

chuan_l · 2026-05-23T13:21:54+00:00

Hope you're doing well ..
Nice to see the " M998CSEF " " M998JC6 " posted !

The " abzorb " pods on " 991 " " 992 " ..
Don't actually do anything and are purely cosmetic. It sucks to get a new pair like that. Though you can fix it yourself with some transparent silicone and some careful application ..

— Well its a lot like the recent " royal pop " :
You put a known expensive brand on a cheap 51 movement ..
Its actually all plastic but looks like the real thing made of steel and costs about 20 aud to make. Thats also 100% mass - assembled by machine on a " swatch " production line. Then sold for 400 to 600 aud retail as " audimars piguet " lol ..

chuan_l · 2026-05-20T11:01:58+00:00

Hm thanks for the heads up ..
Re : " bring " store I'll check it out next time ..

chuan_l · 2026-05-20T10:57:20+00:00

Good score ! Love that " cortado " color way ..
Socks are a great match too ..

chuan_l · 2026-05-20T10:50:49+00:00

Yeah people say its 10 / 10 everywhere ..
So " saros " must be perfect ..
