The first iphone let you have a real web browser anywhere you had cell coverage. This lets you have a web browser floating at home. Its not the same (and I love VR)

Im extremely skeptical that Apple will let this be used with VRC via PCVR. It would need to be a new build for the device with support for tracking. Plus those body trackers don’t suffer from occlusion.

I agree, Ive found combining LLMs with Google has worked well for research. Use it for all sorts if random things, usually starting with search then hopping to chatgpt or bard when I cant understand the results. Then back to search when I k

Youre right but I think the point still stands. Many times it really is easier to verify than produce. Compilable code being a good example.

The local development & database migration story is Supabase's biggest weakness. I hate having to do migrations live in prod. The admin dashboard is just so much better than any alternative Postgres tooling that it's been wort

The problem for users (not google) is that its an arbitrarily enforced restriction. Of course companies can do whatever they want. Google could ban all programs that import PyTorch on their free tier, too. Totally their choice. It’s also my

Free of charge, unless they don’t like what sort of programs you run! Google bans certain open source AI models in Colab, like Pygmalion. See https://colab.research.google.com/github/PygmalionAI/gradio-...

I see this sentiment of “the metaverse is dead” very often on HN but VR usage is at an all time high and meta has the leading hardware. Genuinely wonder: Why do you think the metaverse is dead, and by metaverse do you mean “horizon worlds”,

Yes, this reminds me of the story of transistors at IBM, when they had to pick between MOSFETs vs BJTs. MOSFETs were theoretically more scalable and what Intel eventually commercialized to great success. IBM had a lot of the best electrical

Games like Gorilla Tag and VRChat have tens of millions of monthly users. They are on a hardware devices that give most people nausea after 30 mins. Meta has the most popular hardware by far. Seems huge

unfortunately it can't be used for real-time use cases, but YourTTS is just as good and faster (except... non-commercial)

do you have an opinion on which direction is more likely? naively I'd say 2 would be better since it'd require less language-specific toolchain work for a better devexp for the end developer.

The more locked down these models are, the slower their development will accelerate. Imagine trying to build MOSFETs but being banned from using them in violent or sexually inappropriate use cases. No missile guidance or porn allowed on thi

Yea, was gonna say that CRTs basically gave hardware-level anti-aliasing to every game for free. Playing the same games on an LCD TV makes them look strange and jagged edges stick out a lot more.

Yes, didnt mean to be ageist. Its a mindset thing- 22 y/os would go to Oracle knowing they could clock in 25 hours a week. I’ve worked with 40+ y/o engineers who still show up fresh everyday and work a standard 40 hours, but were

Sure, but timing matters. Google circa 2008 was (from what I hear) still amazing despite being public.

Google (at least circa 2014 when I graduated) has slowly taken on the image of a “retirement home” (i.e. where you go to turn your brain off and clock in to get paid) in elite STEM undergrad programs. Oracle had solidified their spot, but a

Yes… and upon reading the post, I think that’s a very unfair characterization of the author’s app. This is a highly targeted niche convenience app. The activity is controversial, so is skill-based matchmaking in multiplayer games or CG in a

Cool, thats not what I said. Building software that people will buy gives you creative freedom.
