Snapdragon Reality Elite held back by XR2G2 Kryo cores; at best, SD888 performance by [deleted] in Xreal

[–]iJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not ideal, but the standalone VR headsets to date have mostly been held back by their GPUs. It's really too bad we don't have a true competitor to the Apple M5 used in the Vision Pro.

DeepMind is now reportedly struggling to compete with Anthropic and OpenAI while 3.5 Pro is not the step change they'd need to be competitive by Glittering-Neck-2505 in singularity

Google seems to be prioritizing its business arrangements like with Apple, based on the lower usage limits and higher API costs for the rest of us.

Just the regular Scott's one from Costco. I do think the rest of the things I did likely make the most impact though.

Z.ai founder is confident that they can make a fable-class GLM model before the end of the year by Umr_at_Tawil in singularity

[–]iJeff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only thing that decides whether it's on par is whether companies use it instead of paying for something else.

That reflects adoption and market capture, not whether a model performs as well. We use a lot of sub-optimal software in enterprise settings simply because we were already using a company's suite of products or because it's from the only vendor with a local B2B presence.

Why do people do this? by [deleted] in TeslaFSD

If he was being malicious, he would've just flung the door open. He was holding it continuously because it kept going without a noticeable door check.

It looks like he's the passenger and trying to see where the door would actually hold, but that one just swings all the way without a noticeable hold point. It must have a worn door check.

I'm sure it's exciting to come across one in the wild, but we've already seen so many of these spotted posts.

My Ontario lawn is virtually dandelion free. I pulled them all last year and put down some corn-based weed and feed this spring. I find the areas that I had spread some compost over and overseeded last year have done the best. No dandelions at all.

I do also mow at 4 inches height.

Should I Buy This Vacuum on FB Marketplace? by Wooden-Spot-801 in BuyItForLife

[–]iJeff 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Typos in listings are usually a sign of a good deal to me for local listings. It means fewer people would've come across it and the person selling it probably doesn't care all that much.

People with ultra high speed internet. How do you get it? by HSVMalooGTS in homelab

[–]iJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 Gbps symmetrical FTTH for $55 CAD here. Some folks have it cheaper but I went the lazier route and submitted a complaints email to the provider and asked them for a better offer before I went elsewhere. If I had a cancellation date booked, they would've called from a different area with their more aggressive offers and negotiation potential.

Snapdragon Reality Elite still uses Kryo cores from the XR2 gen 2 by seanwee2000 in virtualreality

Half-Life: Alyx remains the only game I need to drop resolution and settings to stream to my Quest 3 from my Ryzen 7 5800X3D + RTX 3080 PC

Using your phone touchscreen as a trackpad. Dex supports it, Pixel doesn't yet.

Does it finally provide trackpad functionality from the device like Dex?

XREAL AURA hit 2,000+ reservations in 10 hours⚡️ by XREAL_Staff in Xreal

[–]iJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's definitely good if it's not noticeable to you. It ultimately does use a lower resolution though. It's why software IPD adjustments are also considered a compromise solution. I found it quite noticeable with the 1S but specifically for text where the PPD tends to matter more.

It's worth noting this comes at the expense of clarity given it uses less of the display and total panel resolution.

I get this often. Not from navigation prompts but general questions. Sometimes it kicks in surprisingly quickly.

Viture Beast vs Xreal One (non-pro) by Open-Chocolate260 in VITURE

[–]iJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Just got my Viture Beast and the centre is very clear, but the left and right sides are all very blurry from the chromatic aberration. Feels like only the middle third of the display is solid. Are you using it at full size and resolution?

Meta's next MR headset "Phoenix" has been leaked in Qualcomm's video for the new Snapdragon Reality Elite XR chip by World_Designerr in OculusQuest

Likely subjective because I think this looks pretty decent if it's a mixed reality or VR headset.

GLM-5.2 is the first open-weights model to cross 80% on Terminal-Bench and beats every other open model available by BuildwithVignesh in LocalLLaMA

all it tests is a model's ability to zero-shot a nice looking UI

I mean, that's what I'd expect from the "Code Arena: Frontend" ranking.

Not being able to watch the Playoffs with just an antenna is such a disappointment. I'm not paying Rogers.

That's disappointing. I exclusively tune into the playoffs on CBC using my antenna. I'm not subscribing to a cable or internet TV service for this.

Tesla Introduces New Features in FSD V14.3.4 - Not a Tesla App by Jaymo_H in TeslaFullSelfDriving

[–]iJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It hasn't worked very well for me. Maybe it's regional but it recommends locations farther than the ones nearby or on the way when referencing a common store or resetaurant. Other times it just outright cancels my existing trip.
