I have the XREAL One Pro. It is polarized which makes it always dimmer, especially indoors, and they sort of PWM from the polarized state to a 99% black out with a button interface. When it's really bright outside and you have the display on, you can see barely where your next step is and not much else.

Their AURAs are probably the same in this specific capability, it looks like the same thing I have in my hands, apart from the extra cameras and a different set of buttons.

The projection lenses look the same too, which means there's no periphery at all. That makes the sort of "screens hovering around you" in the advertising not all that representative of the experience. You see what's in front of you and might barely contain the one screen that you're looking at.

UCEPROTECT is why I stopped self hosting my own email :(

"Pixel perfect" is about attention to detail and consistency. Margins, padding, or the combination of these inside other containers will stick out when they're not consistent.

Here's an example that I personally encountered: what if you have a

Text

and it has a certain left margin. Then another heading except it has a nested button component (which internally comes with some padding). Then the "Text" in both aren't aligned from section to section and it is jarring.

Soon gone are the days of incremental builds. The water cooling enthusiasts will like it.

This was a fun little share. Thanks for writing it up!

Absolute adoration for how this was published, broken down, and discussed. It really improves my trust in the workers team at Cloudflare.

I've heard its a mixture because they can't source enough in-house compute

Now that Cursor has moved towards a credits system, grok code fast is making the plan last while still being reasonable in inference time. GPT 5 and GPT 5 Codex actually moves my "amount remaining" bar in realtime while being incredibly slow.

That wasn’t what I expected! It got me laughing though. Hopefully they do better so news and TV doesn’t trigger them too like Alexa at the beginning.

Now how about Meta and their questionable means of acquiring tons of content?

My experience with 'sonic' during the stealth phase had it do stuff plenty fast, but the quality was slightly off target for some things. It did create tests and then iterate on those tests. The tests it wrote don't actually verify intended behavior. It only verified that mocks were called with the intended inputs while missing the larger picture of how it is used.

Agreed. This is too meta-aligned to not end up in some legal spat later on when money goes through it.

If you ever try something like this with another bash-hackery tool like NVM, you will have a very bad time.

I'd be very interested in how to replicate parsing like this. Slow typescript inference has stalled my own exploration into things like this.

I can't wait for the day when attr has this implemented. It would eliminate the need for so many inline styles
