Same, I suspect its awful and their strategy is to improve and rely less on it, which would be fine to me if they'd be transparent about it.

Im not because the statement you wrote is too generic, « not solving driving » … solving driving could mean many different things. It’s the classic rage bait one liners you see on Reddit from Tesla bag holders. It’s funny because everything you’ve described IS solving « driving » from my perspective. I sit in the back and go read hacker news without having to drive.

Am I in the Tesla stock subreddit?

"Scaling that beyond a few mapped US suburbs into Europe is a totally different problem." If you consider SF and LA suburbs, than Europe is a suburb.

He's also the guy behind FSD which is kinda turning into a scam.

My new discovered superpower for Google sheet is using Gemini, not the integrated functionality, but using Gemini to spit out some very specific use case into app script which I plug into my sheet. Majority of the time the code works without any issue on first try with Gemini Pro.

Atleast let me disable shorts on the TV app. I can't scroll thru my subscribed channels feed without being spammed with all the shorts, this makes content discovery awful and im just not using the app as much.

Agreed. In general I've had such bad performance for complex table based invoice parsing, that every few months I try the latest models to see if its better. It does say "96.12" on top-tier benchmark under the Table category.

"How are Canadians occupying Canadian cities supposed to lift US restrictions?:"

They can protest (which they did) and Justin Trudeau could have picked up the phone and call Biden and ask to remove the restriction, which at that time of the pandemic was completely useless. Instead, Justin Trudeau played politics, he figured it was much better for him to divide the population on the issue than actually work with its biggest trade partner to remove the restriction.

Agreed. Can the experience provided by this hardware be so much superior to a smartphone that'd ill want to put this thing on my face if im not someone that needs to wear glasses? Can this be really superior to a "fingertip" experience I take out of my pocket when needed? I'd have to take the glasses out of my pocket, put them on when needed, OR wear them all the time? All the time is a no-go for me, I've had Lasik, and its in my top 3 best lifetime decisions, not wearing glasses is such a quality of life improvement. I'm a vision pro owner, and it's a great experience, but even with a smaller form factor, I would not consider this a replacement to the 'fingertip' experience.

Interesting and fun article! I've been experimenting with various LLMs/GenAI solutions to extract tabular data from PDFs with underwhelming results. It seems like they are good at extracting strings of text and summarizing (e.g what was the total price? when was this printed?) but extracting reliably into a CSV has a decent margin of error.

Games where I'm sitting down like a car, I wouldnt get motion sickness, but the ones where you walk around with the keypad like Medal Of Honor and Half Life Alyx are the ones that I cant do anymore. I was having a blast with medal of honor, playing 30-45 minute bursts until the nausea once set in very bad and stayed since then.

I dont get any motion sickness from room scale games (real world motion match virtual world) like ping pong or watching movies.

Is there any technological solution to VR motion sickness? I built up my motion sickness immunity on oculus, could play games well, and then one day got hit with crazy nausea and since then I can’t play, that feeling was so bad, it’s similar to when you eat something and it makes you nausea and you can’t eat it ever again. Is there a technical solution to make sure people don’t need to build nausea immunity? Seems like the biggest UX hurdle to be and without a fix, how can this really take off?

That would be great. I've learnt some Unity, building my own little VR game, and I dread having to learn Blender or any other tool to make more detailed shapes/models. I've tried a few GenAI tool to create 3D models and the quality is not useable.

Yes I do, to consume video content every other day on it. Sadly, I'm not the main owner of the device, because there is no multi user support, I cannot use it for day to day work (my partner is logged into it).

At least I can build VR apps for free on Meta Quest with Unity, as opposed to 200$ a month with Apple Vision Pro.
