You can do this really well on $200 AR headsets that fit on your face like sunglasses and uses the battery of the device it's plugged into to last many hours.

If this is the biggest point, then I don't see why Xreal isn't more popular.

I guess we'll find out of there's much of a market for $2k phones. For the price one could get a regular iPhone and a decent iPad.

Yes John I got my first job because a recruiter noticed I had Scratch and Magna-tiles on my resume.

This is in the source article of this post: "While Luanti is popular as an open-source alternative to Minecraft (as its roots are in blocky sandbox games), it also lowers barriers to bringing creative ideas to life."

The game's own website describes it as an "open source alternative to Minecraft".

Frivolous or not, MS has financial incentive to try to keep this game offline. I think this is going as intended from MS's POV.

If Starbucks and Tim Hortons bought the world's coffee supply so you couldn't make cheap coffee at home and had to buy from their stores, people would be outraged.

This is what is happening to the memory supply. The only barrier to running AI, powerful enough for most tasks, at home is the memory supply has been bought up by a handful of AI companies.

Really? I feel like because nobody has RAM they're being pushed to the cloud frontier models. If we could all have our own 64GB+ VRAM GPUs, I feel like the open weight model scene would be even stronger.

Except Intel can run Linux. A powerful enough laptop with M efficiency that can run Linux is compelling for many laptop buyers, especially the HN crowd.

Models are doing what they're trained to do. This isn't some kind of inevitable result of model intelligence growing.

OpenAI/Anthropic deserve blame for for training their models to find correct answers by any means possible, including breaking the law. They're responsible for training supervision and reinforcement learning rewards/penalties.

It's open source:closed source. (Though UE is source available)

Is this reading specific? It feels like just about every activity that is not social media is in decline. I keep reading that streaming TV services are losing users to Tik Tok and YouTube. People can't even be bothered to watch TV.

Anyone have an opinion comparing this to GSD?

The betting topic is only a part of the equation. Should you bet $100 to win $5 on the Steamdeck price? Should you sell your bet before the Steamdeck even comes out?
