Periodically it’s important to remember not to stress on things you have no control over.
Yes, pour your mind and heart into things you can impact, but for the rest, it is not up to you.
Breath, assess, move on.

I removed all additional controllers via the app, only kept the stock one, still having that bug, hands disappearing when re-entering XR, only on stock browser :/
Having to restart every time is a huge pain. I don’t have that behavior on a Quest 1 with the same content.

among those optional steps one could image generating meta-data, e.g. https://x.com/utopiah/status/1854151803501183417 while tracking provenance and how they were generated.

Found https://github.com/MODSetter/SurfSense via @tom_doerr and interesting way to intertwine LLM with PKM/PIM but it can also be, if one prefers, much lighter, cf here a basic example of code snippets getting content in&out, no install required, just JS an AI API access (including locally). https://x.com/utopiah/status/1569917194598862849

Optional steps can also be supported, e.g. cropping (via krop –trim –go) or whatever else makes consumption on the target device better, according to its user. With naming convention, those steps can also cascade.

Replying to @utopiah
Basically extending inotify/fs watch() so that the same pattern applies :
- check for supported files (e.g. PDF, ePUB)
- if unsupported, attempt conversion (pandoc, soffice, convert, etc) until it is
- if supported, send to the device and present
It’s not XR specific.

Some of the “magic” in this demo comes for instantaneity : drop a file🖼️, see its content in XR😎.
What if it wouldn’t be “just” for a headset🕶️ but for ANY device you own?
What if now I could drop a file on the reMarkable Pro directory📂 then I could read it there?🤔 https://x.com/utopiah/status/1846807667085320685

It’s a legit complement, or even replacement, to multi-screen setups on the go. That in itself could help a lot of people work differently, maybe even better.
And yet… I, personally and professionally, find that boring.
That’s all.

Replying to @liquidizer
got fooled for a few seconds. My brain was confused at to where the missing screen was.
That’s how good the Vision Pro was already, month ago without even beta 2.2.
So I’m not arguing on quality and I think the anecdote shows that.

Replying to @liquidizer
Also for full disclosure, I do give Vision Pro demos to such kind of people. I even share with them how once I had on my desk https://x.com/utopiah/status/1769402418226237874 a “virtual” screen and that after removing it I looked for it for a couple of seconds. I’m an expert in the domain and yet I…

who would go from their typical setup to no XR at all to a Vision Pro.
For them it might be shockingly new. For me, who did work on those tech and with those tech, it’s not.
I worry that such changes prevent explorations for what is genuinely spatial.

-
Replying to @liquidizer
I’m also not the “average” consumer of tech. I’m literally surrounded by gadgets, including screens of all shapes and sizes, portable or not, headsets or not, including trying things that do not get commercialized.
So the comparison isn’t with the typical knowledge worker…

Replying to @liquidizer
add up, what I’m arguing is that it’s not a paradigm shift. It’s not a novel way to work and think. It’s the “normal” way but better, as in more compact, portable, etc.
That’s not what I’m interested in even though I do expect to use and leverage it.
(original)
-
Replying to @liquidizer
If it’s marginally better, namely a -er X, larger screen, lower latency, higher refresh rate, etc from a point where it was already usable (without even being great) it’s by definition not genuinely new, not a paradigm shift.
I’m not saying increments don’t matter, they do…

Compute should be fluid.
Delegate to the lower level the task to run with your constraints then it happens wherever whenever it runs best, being CPU, GPU, NPU, FPGA, etc locally or remotely. https://x.com/lamchester/status/1853882650186203540

You’ll easily convince it’s “productive” or “efficient” or that the quality is “better” but we can bet a bottle of Champagne today that you won’t convince me it’s genuinely novel.

Replying to @spatiallyme
IMHO at the very least the 2 should be coupled. What I’m arguing for is spatial computing to… remain spatial, i.e. not solely flat screens floating around.

I started doing that 7 years ago, cf https://x.com/utopiah/status/942292589184724992 and I do think it’s cool, even useful, but that’s not a paradigm shift.

Replying to @SebAaltonen
I want an answer, yes, but I also need to understand why I got in that “bad” situation in the first place. Usually SO provides both a solution that works but also an explanation, not just a plausible one but one I can trust. For that I find SO to still remain relevant.

People going bonkers over this… I don’t get it. Sure a larger screen can be nice but it’s NOT a paradigm shift. It’s nothing actually new. Just buy more monitors, or a video projector, or both.
Moving in 6DoF & grabbing 3D objects, that’s new!
Who cares about more screens?🤷♂️ https://x.com/UploadVR/status/1853523852103455136

Replying to @utopiah
What’s interesting here IMHO is that the perspective doesn’t come from an LLM/AGI skeptic (but still fan of public research in AI, just not the commercialization of hype) but rather from people again who are financially motivated by the profit of AI. They are not positive.

Replying to @utopiah
There can clearly be some lag, trying to still make the S-curve tick upward, no matter how little, but after some time the trend of improvement appears more obvious and then questions from investors do get asked, until it’s so unsustainable that closures start. And cascade.

Replying to @utopiah
Not an investment advice… but if that’s correct (coming from VCs themselves who put money on the line, I’d assume so) then it means despite GPU sales being stable, or even growing, ROI is actually diminishing. In turn this should reflect in stock valuation for GPU producers.

The work cited initially is fascinating, remindinmg me of Luc Steels’ work, e.g. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/956077/ & feels like an interesting avenue, potentially brilliantly solving a complex problem, yet through a terribly expensive process that could be fixed with explicit conventions.

What if… we had APIs describing themselves (e.g SWAGGER/OpenAPI) with tools dedicated to querying them (e.g https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-js & countless other languages) so that the different dedicated tools could rely on each other regardless of their own internal representation?
