@SideQuestVR Hey, F-droid, another alternative app store for Android (not dedicated to XR) provides directly .apk link on each app page. Does SideQuest also does that, if so how, if not why not?

Relying on https://video.benetou.fr/w/k7tKQ8Qer7hUpvEQFKGpfT to send DRM free ePub converted to PDF, cropped by simply drag&drop (on desktop) the source ePub on a dedicated directory to transfer to the reMarkable.
I could do it before but it was sth I’d have to think about, now just drop the file &voila.

As a prototypist few things feel better than : “Oh wait… I could use this thing I made just few days ago and… wow, it works!” to radically change a workflow that was until now practically impossible. 📈🚀💕

Backends for self-hosting, no need to centralize, if one does not want to :
- https://www.keycloak.org (tried)
- https://www.hanko.io
as example, both supporting passkeys and other authentication methods. Both open-source so you can actually check how it works, and improve.

🤮 the grift…
What’s truly disturbing is that, just like OpenAI few years ago, it claims to be about the good of Humanity. When OpenAI had an actual purpose, wasn’t a for-profit, was genuinely (arguably) about safety.
This is about privacy, or is it? Did we learn anything?🤨 https://x.com/jasonjoyride/status/1855294284569743486

Replying to @utopiah
This though, only comes from actually stepping back, benchmarking, comparing, not just to the marketed STOA but to past work.🤷♂️

Replying to @utopiah
and finally start to question, very uncomfortably, that due to benchmarks, the whole trend is maybe not what was “sold” (and subsidized still for now).
A slow realization but I’d argue a realization still.

or rather on-prem models, in-house trained models) and they realize results are OK-ish but not amazing.
They then benchmark to what they started with, OpenAI, and realize it’s relatively not that bad.
Finally they realize what they had without LLM wasn’t that bad either…

Replying to @utopiah
but not everybody was aware of them, or using them properly (e.g. operators in search). So again looked superficially like tremendous gains.
Anyway as they consider costs (financial, privacy, secrecy, etc) they are tinkering with alternatives (other models through APIs, local…
(original)
-
Replying to @utopiah
What I meant is that prior to considering alternatives, companies and institutions were going from nothing (barely retrieval, NLP, etc) to “intelligence” so it was perceived a huge jump.
In reality it wasn’t so precisely because they already did have some systems in place, …

The promise is the product.
Skimming through https://lemmy.world/comment/13133443 makes me think that OpenAI isn’t selling quality results but something else.🤷♂️
As soon as companies start to consider alternatives (Claude, Ollama etc), the question of quality comes up and… it’s not great.

Replying to @davongelaufen and @WolvicXr
Thanks for the clarification! Glad I started cautiously with “I don’t think…” because it did indeed seem very surprising as rest on Android is not new.
It was also my hypothesis on https://x.com/utopiah/status/1855301590342627345 and you’re right.
I assumed it requested permissions but maybe forgot?

I don’t think factory reset on Quest is done properly… I just did it (boot with volume down) and the content of an app (namely @WolvicXr) which I re-installed via adb (no online account) … was back. Namely my browsing history (!) dating back days and weeks back.🤨

I don’t like YouTube (Google and all, monopoly + surveillance capitalism) and videos are really under using a medium where we can literally grab (virtual) 3D objects… but I have to admit at least it seems to work spatially, so that’s nice.

Curved yet so flat🤷♂️. It’s cool… but what’s the point when you could have that, sure, but also 360 content (if you really need, carve out virtual “windows” on path and actual window) AND depth?
It’s powerful, sure, and convenient, sure, but it’s STILL underusing the medium! https://x.com/spatiallyme/status/1854530624641474670

Replying to @josethevrtech
Indeed, point of some of those explorations, based on https://git.benetou.fr/utopiah/offline-octopus/ and not necessarily “just” for XR, yet I feel the need is more prescient there as files tend to be “omitted” for “apps” or “content” (e.g. games) that aren’t really composable.

Can’t wait to try. When I check the query documentation in https://ollama.com/blog/llama3.2-vision I see “images”: ["<base64-encoded image data>"] in cURL but in JS/Python images: [‘image.jpg’] so wondering what’s images here, are they URL that will then get fetched from the backend, not data?
