FYI, virtual desktop (and steam link) on quest 3 recently got beta updates for wired modes (they just tunnel ethernet afaik, but its better than nothing for your usecase probably) since the OS has seemingly recently unblocked this.

You can already do a lot of it with ReShade shaders like the aforementioned SuperDepth3D, but it requires a game profile, tons of fiddling and non-incompatibility from the game. Having that shipped as dev-tested profiles with games would be

But sadly not (officially) in 3D! SuperDepth3D is such a cool concept, I don't need most of my games to be full VR immersive camera experiences, but a nice big virtual full no-limits 3D monitor would be sick.

Oh, that'd make sense. I think the quest 3 has a depth sensor, but they mostly use that for room setup. I don't even think it has IR emitters for low light. But that's the age old question about patents, if they're bein

That makes sense. I always wondered why nobody copied their gaze + tap interactions. That seems way too basic to grant a patent for...

It's absolutely wild to me that they didn't include, and have devs ship profiles for some of their games, SuperDepth3D or some other depth map shader officially in some form in the Steam UI for this. If a big focus is playing your

They seem to be getting pretty far with only vision, to be fair. Same with openpilot. Still, I cant help but agree. If you have access to beyond-human sensors and are able to do sensor fusion, then please do it. What's the point other

Awesome, thanks!

It's kind of insane how having this tech at this speed 5 years ago would have probably still been seen as insanely useful and revolutionary. If LLMs were more capable but dramatically slower, I wonder how it would impact how we use it?

I'm not the author, but I would like! Is it feasible to run on the same hardware as the 27b model itself?

A reminder that google is the only major lab without a meaningful opt-out of training on your data. The only way to opt out is to disable message history entirely, which seems like a darkest of dark patterns to get users to leave "opt

Within the general theme of token subsidies slowing down, this seems like the logical step. In my mind the timeline goes something like this product wise: - Pepole figure out that having a general purpose not-just-coding agent actually wo

I'd prefer that too. Preferrably with permission popups for requesting folder access outside of it. Shared libraries / whatever flatpak calls them could live at a central symlinked location?

Really cool project. I think it's nice that there's so many small, experimental distros out that are just trying stuff and seeing what works and what doesn't. If we (maybe through where freedestop is moving) can figure out a

Agreed. I've run into this way too many times, and now with a super aggressive oom killer config it still slows down until vscode or firefox just get closed. I wish it was similar to how it seems to be on MacOS from what I see on frien

This is what the author showed off on Twitter at least, with Desktop chromium I think.

The past DeepSeek models and now these new checkpoints score very badly on the ArtificialAnalysis AA-Omniscience and hallucination rate benchmarks. I wonder where that's from? Maybe they're overindexing on coding even more than ot

You make a good point about cultural things that would make one excited to learn a language. But I really struggle to imagine what could be done to fix that? Injecting more money into the film industry would just lead it to the same people

What a nice and heartwarming read! I'm german, and really hope we can pivot away from the rise of the far right. How that can be done, I don't know. I just hope we can do so before we start scaring away people like him who would o

App tells customer to review it. Customer reviews the app honestly (the nag is annoying and deserves 1 star). Seems like the nag screen worked? :) (Although in seriousness, I get this point they make further down in the article: "If we

it has to be so bursty for realtime usecases like chat, which is what most people are using it for today. of course, once (if) stuff like software dark factories start working out for the average person, then you'll be able to make ful

LLM inference unfortunately also seems to be a task that's poorly formed for moderate consumer hardware,as a single user. For a single user use case, the load is bursty but requires the weights to be in memory already. So a multi user

It's impossible to keep ads "clearly labelled" and seperate long term. Doesn't work. the incentive structures just don't work. serving answers becomes a cost center, and ads are a profit centers. so even though it m

Are thinking models only the reasonable tradeoff vs using much larger non thinking ones because the cost of output tokens is below that of input tokens?

That's a more than 2x jump in parameter count. I know it's not a measure of quality by itself, but it will be interesting how it "scales". Bust it looks like they're gonna be competing with the big boys now, pricing
