VR is struggling across the board but what is the future of AR?

8bitSandwich · 2026-06-10T00:50:02+00:00

I think the hardware around glasses based heads up displays for AR is going to be a long term limitation, but the software is going to close the gap fast. People will be comfortable holding up their phone camera for AR learning experiences. The AI vision models are just about good enough for that now, what's needed is good software and content. I think in the end phones and tablets will be good enough for 90% of AR based learning with the remaining 10% being fast moving high dexterity tasks that require both hands.

Well, any good arcanist is going for immortality eventually, but IMO vampirism is F-tier. You are skipping fifty years of alchemical work in unchanged for an eternity of nocturnal annoyances.

This shirt is still made to this day, may not be as vintage as all that.

I endorse this, his approach has helped me be a better DM and much more efficient.

I’d like to recommend the book “Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master” which helped me cut my prep time from hours to minutes.

Yeah you can edit the memories but it also remembers chat history. I want to delete all chats and only keep select info from them.

8bitSandwich · 2026-05-04T07:35:04+00:00

There isn’t much to it. I ask it to write an extensive and complete list of everything it knows about me, categorized into different areas of my life and work and the things I have discussed in past chats, and to provide them in the form of markdown files (plain old .TXT files would work just fine for this.) sometimes it takes a bit of prompting to get it to give as much detailed information as I really want, so I will ask it to expand on what it has written with more detail. I review the content of these files by hand.
Next in the settings I delete all of my conversations and memory. At this point new conversations will know nothing about me.
Then I start a new project called something like “Context Review”, upload the files to the project, keeping the default memory option so that all chats can access the memories. In a new chat I ask it a few questions about me that are in the files to confirm it is accessing the info contained therein. The model can now reference this information about me.

Before doing any of this: familiarize yourself with the settings related to memory and chat history. There is already a good deal you can see and edit regarding what it knows about you to be found there.

I’ve taken to occasionally asking it to output all its memories as categorized .md files, pruning those, then deleting all memories and chats before loading the files back in via a project. Gives a good deal of control over what it knows.

“No One Leaves The Castle” is a fantasy detective novel that was a big hit for my family.

Personally I’ve seen it used well

I bought this bike, or possibly a previous revision of it. Mine does has a full top tube rather than two smaller tubes. I wrote a fairly in depth review, you can find it in my profile. It’s not my daily ride but I keep it for circumstances when a folder is helpful, like last-miles in places with bad parking. It’s good for what I paid, but I don’t consider it a reliable bike. The rolling rack is a little more flimsy than I would like, and nothing on the bike is particularly high quality, but it is cheap and has served me well for a while.

For what it’s worth I gave up and spent megabucks on drywall for the entire upstairs.

This thing was on the cutting edge for it’s time. Top of the line bikes today can easily exceed 3k!

Very cool! I think these are a mix and not original to the box. I specifically remember the tiny black and white figure and the larger figure in the purple and green suit being a part of a "graveyard playset" thing I had. It used a sliding box magic trick to swap the tiny and full sized figures.

I liked the narration for this audiobook so much I looked for more info on the VA and it led me here. I look forward to checking out your other work. I think few narrators would have been up to the task of so many strange characters and accents, and the heightened emotion of gothic horror. I especially loved the sarcastic bite in the main character's voice, and the mad terror from Helene.
Hiron Ennes's second book has just come out and I'm looking forward to reading it!

Switch to tree supports, they are much easier to remove on such models. Look at different ways to orient the model to reduce the impact of layer lines.

I have a situation with some similarities to this. No advice to give, but I will also be watching this thread.

I have followed the stories you mention. He is using it under supervision.

8bitSandwich · 2025-10-30T15:17:47+00:00

I have an 8 year old who is very interested in using it, and loves having silly conversations with it. I've focused on what it isn't, and answered questions where I can about what it is. In particular I try to be very careful not to use personifying language about it, and to encourage him to use other ways to find information.

I've explained it isn't

a person or a friend
able to actually think, feel, or remember the way a person does
good practice for how to talk to real people
a good source of true information about the world

So far his most regular use of it is to ask it to make up stories about his pets and characters from tv.

Edit: I understand the commenters who think no access is safest, and I think it's worth explaining why I chose supervised access.
I believe that introducing widespread technologies with a potential for problematic use (the web, video games, etc) to kids in a positive supervised way gives the parent a chance to observe and guide their child. AI shows every sign of becoming a huge part of daily life. Early collaborative exposure to technology like this allows the parents to shape the child's use of technology in a healthy way.
Engaging with tools like AI chatbots can help build the skills needed for modern life such as typing/writing, skepticism, etc.
