@elnarvideo @maxweisel Bluetooth on or off? It always shows up as a connectable device, when I do a Bluetooth search - even if I haven't touched it in a while. Can't be good for battery or privacy.

@maxweisel I have 2 quests and had every other quest there is plus we have a bunch at work. Dont have that problem with a single one. I do keep my own quest in my backpack at all times everywhere I go and if I dont use it it lasts for weeks asleep (not off). Not affiliated with Meta at all.

My Quest 3 is dead again after sitting asleep for two days. Proximity wake is off. And Meta wonders why retention is so bad... My Pico headset lasts 1+ months when asleep. Same chipset, same base OS, etc. This is a Meta software issue!! I'm begging of you @boztank please fix.

Quick test last night playing around with RealityScan - bad living room lighting and not really pre-selecting my pictures. Nice result! skfb.ly/oB7nB

@SculptrVR Building a pet bot with my comma 3 right now :D what a world indeed! :)

My hyundai Santa Fe can now be upgraded into a self driving car capable of driving to Taco Bell by itself for $1850! What a world.

@maxim_xyz Ping tinygrad.org :)

Who are the engineers writing high performance C/C++ AI inference? Do you 'compile' the graph into compute yourself? How do you handle various hardware? Very curious to learn more!

@TheKristofLovas This looks so good! Would you be able to share an example for a noise and warp texture? What would be a good way to create them, to get to those results?

I apologize for writing a complicated program. I didn't have time to write a simple one.

@snigdhar0y Haha, well some tinkerer clean up nicely :)

@snigdhar0y Why not both? ;P

Apple app store fees are a de facto global tax on the Internet. Epic is right.

@lexiamandeville You too. Sorry in case that came over as condescending. More meant to attack Facebook's vision. Take a look if you like uploadvr.com/augmented-real…

@lexiamandeville In any case the metaverse or whatever is not gonna be engine A or B by definition. It's gonna be overlays of multiple AR experiences - independent of engine and techstack used - mixed together. Then draw a skybox ovr. The app like thinking is the wrong thing from the beginning 😅

@lexiamandeville See it as a filter. Those you are willing to step out of their (unity) comfort zone, to maybe learn something new, are the hires I would want. I don't care with what they started out with. A lot transfers over, if you have a good grasp of the basics.

On my 16gb, 8 core Ryzen laptop this is just super frustrating, but even my 32gb workstation never goes above certain parallel compile threads. Adding /MP[threadnr] works sometimes? UE compiles multiples slower, when this line comes up for example.

For some reason Visual C++ compiler started to "Requested 1.5 GB free memory per action", meaning it will not go above certain thread number on many core CPUs - even on 32gb machine. This is non-sensical for so many reasons, least of all that Windows often reserves more than need

@NimaZeighami @Aidan_Wolf @NathanBurba Nice! Thanks, I'll hit you up :)

@d_brane @Aidan_Wolf @NathanBurba We just did KBBQ with the Co-Founder of CTRL Collective a couple of weeks ago 😁 Would love to chat

anyone organizing a house for snapchat lens creators? Would love to do something like that here in LA

@NimaZeighami @Aidan_Wolf @NathanBurba But I would definitely be down for something like that :)

@NimaZeighami @Aidan_Wolf @NathanBurba Heh just moved here, Venice area. Would be cool to connect sometimes. Building something you might find cool. I was thinking of hitting up the Ctrl collective coworking space meet people from the VR/ar space.

@Bobby_Anguelov Startups are still probably best served from in person. If you ever come to LA, would love to chat :)

I feel I'm the only person that seem to hate WFH but it's killing me. It's super hard to do various aspects of my job. It's extremely lonely and isolating. Lots of stress is artificially amplified for myself and a lot of the team since our in-person support tactics aren't there.
