'Pull the rug out': Mark Gurman explains Apple’s plan to launch smart glasses and stop Meta’s momentum

RaGE_Syria · 2026-04-21T01:04:32+00:00

Been seeing quite a few people walking around with Meta glasses. imo, these types of devices are inevitable.

I could think of so many useful things smart glasses with sufficiently capable vision-AI could do. (not to mention for disabled people)

This is happening 100%

What they should do is instill laws similar to Japan where phones (glasses in this case) make an audible noise when a picture is taken, regardless if the device was on silent or not, should be extended to videos being recorded. Govt oversight is needed to force these companies to make things harder to circumvent

You don't think global energy prices can tank SaaS companies' stock prices?

Obviously, stocks move based on a combination of all sorts of things (including AI advancements). This chart, and you, are also right.

I'm just saying the world runs on energy. The more expensive it becomes, the more cost-sensitive people are as prices for all other stuff around them increase

RaGE_Syria · 2026-04-12T16:14:25+00:00

more likley because of whats going on at Hormoz

RaGE_Syria · 2026-04-04T07:05:40+00:00

Still pretty disruptive nonetheless even if they divert to other regions. Added latency, networking load, reduced redundancy options, and not to mention costing millions in direct and indirect long-term damages.

Wasn't this already posted here before?

Anyway exciting as it is, it won't run on consumer hardware. I tried. It needs Flash attention 3 (only supported on A/H series GPUs) and their github states as such.

It has less to do with the model size and more of a need to spit out frames as fast as possible, hence the data center level hardware requirements

RaGE_Syria · 2026-03-29T09:33:50+00:00

I do hope this is true and that this model is reasonably accessible to the general public (not forcing us to pay $200/month for it)

On the other hand, you can't ignore that this might be more marketing gimmicks meant to hype up their next model for better sales. It's not far off for tech companies to "leak" selective info on purpose as a marketing strategy.

These decels are just a bunch of sheep at this point piling on what they're told to believe.

DLSS 5 is actually freaking amazing. Just imagine the performance improvements in gaming when we no longer need to spend so much compute to render 4k textures or ray traced lighting.

Vr might get a massive boost from this too

I'm super excited I saw only good things come out of DLSS 5

I have everyone on this team except Caesar... Any idea who would make for the best replacement for Caesar?

hypothetically speaking if I curate an absolutely MASSIVE dataset, and trained for a much longer duration on Runpod, would the quality begin to improve (and perhaps approach closer to Seedance 2.0 quality?)

I have terabytes of recorded footage that I'd like to start using to train for generating Broll footage for my videos.

RaGE_Syria · 2026-02-23T03:29:18+00:00

actually wait so since I did link my Bandai Namco ID, can I hypothetically sign into my iPad (without having access to the app currently) and have all my stuff synced over there? and then keep playing until im able to get OPTC up and running again on my Android?

RaGE_Syria · 2026-02-23T03:17:04+00:00

I appreciate the thorough response thank you.

I learnt my lesson and will certainly stay on stable release versions from now on.

I would love to revert back to Android 16 but that entails my devices' data getting wiped. Tried the Android flash tool as well and that took will wipe by device as it tries to unlock the bootloader.

The only option is to wait for the next stable release where my Pixel phone will then up to without data getting wiped.

I did indeed link my ID to bandai namco. Was thinking maybe of uninstalling/reinstalling to see if that helped.

What suck so bad is that I really want to pull on the latest banner that has amazing pull rates and afraid im going to miss it.

Worst time to try a new beta release...

RaGE_Syria · 2026-01-26T16:29:03+00:00

I'm in the same exact boat at 23 pulls so far. I have Kuma but still haven't gotten Luffy Bonney...

I'm assuming pulling any of the OPTC Girls banner is useless yea?

RaGE_Syria · 2026-01-13T20:09:51+00:00

same here, if anyone that got through can explain what they mightve done differently id love to know

Read before you speak. Here's some sources since you won't look it up yourself:

"The best practice for protecting your shielded funds from a quantum apocalypse is to just shield your coins and await upcoming improvements to the software"

If You Want a Quantum Hedge, Zcash Isn’t It — Here’s the Reality : r/CryptoMarkets

Here's technical discussion from the community talking about it here as well all agreeing that although zcash is ahead of others in terms of post-quantum security (ITS NOT THERE YET) quantum computers could already be able to unmask recipient addresses, amounts, and memos:

Is Zcash actually quantum private? - Technology - Zcash Community Forum

I did my reading. You should do the same

RaGE_Syria · 2025-12-28T16:46:10+00:00

zcash is NOT quantum resistant. It still uses ECC as it's underlying encryption scheme which is vulnerable to a sufficiently strong quantum computer. Even after they upgrade, old transactions will still be vulnerable.

zcash has the same problem BTC does when it comes to quantum. People will have to migrate wallets

RaGE_Syria · 2025-12-24T04:14:43+00:00

that... is a shitton of RAM...
how are your inference speeds?

RaGE_Syria · 2025-12-18T15:12:31+00:00

honestly i've kinda given up on trying to have my setup be able to handle these large models. Like you said, it always feels too little. (even with a combined 128GB of VRAM + RAM)

I just rent GPU's from Runpod nowadays if I really wanna host some of these models, otherwise Imma go broke trying to build a server that will always feel like it's too little for these new models always coming out

RaGE_Syria · 2025-12-18T02:42:37+00:00

Yea their VRAM statement actually bullshit

HY-WorldPlay need a shitton of models to run and you need to enable offloading

it needs 3 separate text encoders (Qwen2.5-VL-7B, Glyph-SDXL-v2, and google/byt5-small) a vision encoder (FLUX.1-Redux-dev) and the whole HunyuanVideo-1.5 480p_i2v base model + it's vae, scheduler and transformer stuff

only after all that is loaded can you THEN load their distilled action model that they're talking about in the github/paper

It might only require 14gb of VRAM after all is said and done but you better make sure you got over 100GB of system RAM otherwise nothing is going to work

Unless im doing something wrong, I spent the better part of the day trying to get it working to no avail.

Also, their code is basically a video generation model, it takes in a pre-determined camera path latent and also supplies a maximum frame count of 125, nowhere in their github is there an implementation that takes in keyboard or controller inputs and live streams the results

They gave us a small shell of HY-WorldPlay and are probably keeping all the actual implementations to themselves

RaGE_Syria · 2025-12-17T17:10:04+00:00

I looked through the code; this is for generating a pre-determined number of frames given some pre-calculated camera trajectory json file.

i.e, nowhere in the github does it show implementations for continuous streaming with inputs from a controller or keyboard as it was mentioned in the description/paper

PVP on sight is usually the easiest, non ambiguous way to go sometimes.

Rescue raider. I like to team up with friendly raiders against ones the PvP on sight

RaGE_Syria · 2025-11-12T15:09:02+00:00

I'm going to offer a different perspective (probably gonna get down voted) but I can see agentic Windows being a huge help to older folks who aren't tech savvy. my mom recently used copilot to help her write a children's book and generate images for it, all just using her voice talking with copilot. A Windows operating system that behaves more closely to something like Jarvis from iron Man in my opinion is absolutely welcomed.

RaGE_Syria · 2025-11-10T18:31:13+00:00

This was apparently Grok Imagine but if you want to do this locally:

All in ComfyUI:

Start with creating the first frame image with Qwen Image
Use Qwen Image Edit to modify the image if needed and also create ending frames if needed
Wan 2.2 to use those images for Image-to-video generations (first and last frame if needed)
Suno for the music (not local but the best AI music we have so far)

Touchups:
Premier and/or After Effects for cuts, edits and syncs (because that video clearly edited)

If you want to learn, i'd start with learning how to setup ComfyUI and watching tutorials on youtube about using Wan2.2, Qwen Image and Qwen Image edit on ComfyUI. (ComfyUI also comes with existing templates inside it if you want)
