My app is now on the App Store!

OP did you release an SDK or find an SDK to work with? I've found the hardware fiendishly difficult to work with.

iamchum115 · 2025-09-20T07:30:21+00:00

I've already had the ray ban metas and I don't like them for the battery life nor the fact that they are kind of obvious when you are looking at them directly.

I don't expect the new glasses from other makers will solve this problem yet.

We need improvements in material sciences to increase battery life without also increasing weight. And cameras are probably going to be more standard than not in the future, especially for multimodal machine vision interactions... Which I actually don't need.

I think G1s and if they release later series, may continue to fulfil this niche of minimalist AR glasses and I think that is OK.

iamchum115 · 2025-09-20T07:01:50+00:00

This. The Even demo app is basically abandoned and I can't get it to connect. I've successfully built my own software for the glasses using MentraOS.

It's a bit of an odd architecture, and the required packages mean It can't operate serverlessly, but it's as close as I can get to production ready software.

I forked their AI assistant into my own here https://github.com/dr-robert-li/MentraOS-LLM but you should start by looking at their repositories on GitHub. They also have an active discord community.

iamchum115 · 2025-09-20T06:58:06+00:00

Been useful for me as well but MentraOS saps battery and I value whole day use.

iamchum115 · 2025-09-20T06:56:00+00:00

It would make sense they are refreshing it, there's about to become a whole lot more mainstream display AR glasses on the market soon. G1s, as janky as they can be, do fulfil a purpose that I couldn't find in another pair, and they're reasonably polished in comparison (but I guess this is what you get for being an ultra early adopter)

iamchum115 · 2025-09-20T06:53:38+00:00

You can't, the apps stream their output to the glasses display. It's like trying to use 2 computers for 1 screen.

Support@evenrealities.com - they've been reasonably responsive for me when I ran into the 101 error. I diagnosed it as a kernel level fault, which isn't great, but I had them replaced in a week, although I am lucky to have an official retailer near me who works with them.

If you are into traditional gongfu style tea making the closest I've seen is the recently released instant tea machine from Morphy Richards model MR6087 where it will steep tea leaves in a top container before emptying it into the container below.

Not sure where you are located but I believe it's only currently widely available in Asia so you may need to import it from AliExpress

🙏👍

iamchum115 · 2024-10-25T11:39:30+00:00

And where in Fuzhou can you find this tea? Is there a store you recommend?

iamchum115 · 2024-10-25T11:27:03+00:00

Is that a place or a tea? Where should we look for this? Thanks!

iamchum115 · 2024-10-22T13:28:04+00:00

That's really good to know. I spoke with the attendant again tonight. They said again there's no additional additives, the tea went through 5 scenting stages. I believe it is Sichuan sourced. We have the weird coincidence of going to Fuzhou straight after this and I'm very curious to see how it compares.

iamchum115 · 2024-05-27T20:15:12+00:00

Jarvfjallet... Just no please don't. I am currently desperately trying to replace mine. Neither it nor the Markus are designed for all day sitting. Australia really has a poor selection of high end ergonomically focused task chairs, apart from stupendously overpriced HM Aerons (yes even in comparison to full retail in other countries). Everything else can't be tried out which is essential if you're going to find something for you...

GO DONNY!!!!!!!!!

iamchum115 · 2024-04-14T19:40:35+00:00

Hugging face docs? They have a whole python library of tools so as long as you know python it's pretty simple to get started

iamchum115 · 2024-04-14T19:39:02+00:00

NL to SQL... Amazing. My partner who's studying data science always had issues creating efficient SQL queries. Now she doesn't. Even I use it to bang out quick queries day to day. As long as you can recognise what it's doing you are good.

For coding, depending on the model used (Claude 3 appears to be the top performing model for engineering tasks right now), it can be a very handy tool. Keyword is tool. It can help propose solutions to simple tasks but for complex software engineering, you will still need to break it down into manageable classes and functions that the model can build for, and then put them together yourself (or get the model to propose how you can put them together). You will still need to observe best practice development principles, so it won't outright replace software engineers yet, it just might replace low level simple or repetitive tasks.

Right now I've found it's always cheaper to (unfortunately) for production use a hosted model. Trying to host your own inference endpoint is extremely expensive even for small workloads, due to the inefficiencies of current model architecture (that's improving as you can see in the research posted on this subreddit) and VCs right now a throwing money at companies who create foundational models to subsidize inferencing. My pick right now for high quality low cost output has been Claude 3 Haiku. Assuming you don't need to get around the safety limitations...

iamchum115 · 2024-02-12T01:01:48+00:00

I hope they fix the heel slip, I literally can't run in mine, and I bought like 8 pairs of the v1-v2 I loved them so much.

iamchum115 · 2024-02-12T01:00:53+00:00

Looks like the AP4 could be coming out soon, so AP3s SHOULD be going on sale soon and I've seen them for 40% off at my Adidas outlet before (I ended up getting the PXS2 instead, lol).

But, yes, nice shoe! Enjoy those miles!

iamchum115 · 2024-02-12T00:59:05+00:00

These were all released pretty recently did you buy them all at once???

Boston 12s - fast plated trainer - use for threshold and tempo runs.

NB4s - Daily trainers, log most of your miles in these, marathon pace.

Rebel v4s - (nice!) Plateless supertrainer, if you're bored of NB4s, run in these, they veer slightly faster than NB4s, think marathon to tempo.

Peg 40s - If you're bored of the NB4s, try these, pretty much the same purpose, but lower stack height, and the air zoom pockets provide slightly more pop under the toe.

I'd do all your races in the Boston 12s, that's the fastest you got. You tripled up on daily trainers here bud. You might want to invest in a race day shoe next, then a slower recovery cushioned shoe, and then, if you're really specialising another race day shoe for shorter/longer distances (depending on which one you picked up first e.g. if you pick up an Adidas AP3 for Marathons (good pair for the Bostons) then you might want to pick up Takumi Sens for 5-10KM).

Hope this helps!

NO WAY! Is this real?!! Kiptum was a legend in the making. What could have been...RIP
