peter thiel on obsession:

@eshear I also wish that I could branch chats. For example: I highlight a sentence from a chat and start a branch chat that uses the context from the main thread. And then allows me to return back to the main thread and continue.

I dislike the way that all the deep research products go off and work without you. I like that they show a running list of what they're doing...but I wish I could give suggestions and ask questions asynchronously, without stopping the progress.

@benz145 Hard agree. The specs and software are mostly complete. The only complaint im hearing from prospective users who try the headset is simply comfort and form factor. We need a big screen beyond form factor with a compute / battery puck and similar specs / inside out tracking.

Among Vision Pro users, I almost never see people asking for new hardware features or spec improvements. The #1 thing most people want is simply the same capabilities in a smaller form-factor. That says a lot about the state of the software and the headset's capabilities. I'm in the same camp; wrote this recently: roadtovr.com/half-the-size-…

Tell me you’ve been in VR for more than a decade, in three words or less.

@waffyworld @iBrews It's because they have such strange internal KPIs. Look no further than their obsession with Horizon Worlds.

@iBrews I was just thinking the very same thing!! Meta, in basically all ways, is clunky as hell.

the ease of pairing PSVR2 controllers to Vision Pro (then back to Playstation 5, then back to another Vision Pro) highlights the ridiculous friction of trying to re-pair Meta Quest controllers to another Meta Quest.

@iBrews We're getting very close to the ultimate workflow

Cool feature-- if you're already casting your Mac to your Vision Pro, it skips all the prompting and immediately tries to activate the immersive experience. Less friction !

hey cool I got the basic setup of Remote Immersive Spaces working (the VisionOS equivalent of PCVR). The basic flow is coding a SwiftUI button on your MacOS app to activate remote rendering, a prompt for what Vision Pro you want to send the experience to, then the person in the Vision Pro confirms and rendering activates (seen here as when the screen goes black). Kind of the opposite of PCVR where the headset user has to connect to the computer. The VisionOS method will probably be much better for onboarding new users! The only problem at the moment is Xcode doesn't seem to have the rendering libraries necessary to fully activate an experience. Will keep an eye on it tho.

@SadlyItsBradley @Mr_NMP_VR They are available for purchase individually at game stop.

@Mr_NMP_VR That’s going to change when this leaves developer beta

PSVR2 controller is tracking and interacting with visionOS 26

@DShankar @iBrews any hopes to one day have a tethered compute puck for beyond? There are a lot of interesting small windows PCs out there.

@iBrews Particularly for dev purposes I think speed of iteration on Quest made me tear my hair out. I had beautiful long hair before Quest. And now, I’m bald. So that’s why you need a wired PC VR headset.

I want to try Bigscreen Beyond 2 but I just can't do tethered. Gotta be free. Am I crazy?

@JiggyNutt What did James Clapper say?

I got to see AGE OF DISCLOSURE at SXSW tonight! This sucker was dense with information, and similar to THE PROGRAM, covered a lot of the recent happenings. It was impactful to hear a similar message from so many in this film. A great primer for normies as well. SPOILER ALERT. I’m going to hit you with some things that stuck out to me that were new or interesting. - Irrefutable evidence, including video exists - Jay Stratton and Lue Elizondo tell their story in a way that came off as scripted, or at least meticulously laid out - Hal Puthoff confirmed he worked with other scientists in the legacy program we don’t know about - Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin was briefed on the crash retrieval program to anticipate the economic impact if Trump were to hold a disclosure press conference - The CIA science and technology division runs the CR program with more knowledge than the politically appointed CIA director. This goes back to the creation of the CIA months after Roswell by Truman in 1947. - Hal articulated details on how the crash retrieval program works - DOE is outside of the normal classification system which is why they’ve been able to keep it secret - Hal says there are multiple species - Russia recovered an 80 foot tic tac with humanoid bodies and a directed energy weapon (DEW) - President George H Bush told Eric Davis details of several CR’s since the 40’s and the meeting with beings at Holloman AFB - The Vatican knows the truth about NHI and covered it up - The UFO incident in Stephenville Texas involved President “dubya”’s ranch, and the CIA showed up and denied Jay Stratton access - Secretary of State Rubio spoke on how defense contractors claim UAP tech as their own - Puthoff and Davis talk about propulsion bubbles and photos that show their effects. UFO pictures are fuzzy due to this. - Zero point energy (ZPE) and energy derived from quantum entanglement is real according to Eric Davis. - The risk of letting this technology out is a big part of the secrecy - Jay says “intense information” shouldn’t be revealed, and it didn’t seem like he meant technology - Pretty much an admission that reversed engineered UAP’s exist from Puthoff - A group of 27 threatened to kill Lue and Grusch - Puthoff had a hopeful message that we may go to the stars - Lue’s message that you’ll say I wish I would’ve known sooner was ominous Q&A - Jay Stratton had an intensity about him. He said he showed Congress where NHI tech was at, and they were denied - Advocated for people to get involved to overcome this - He’s worried about China / Russian getting this tech first which would be checkmate - Hal Puthoff thinks progress is being made and mentioned his work with a national science and technology organization that recently started a UAP effort #ufotwitter #uapx

@levie @elonmusk I can't think of any other possible storage method...

@elonmusk Impossible. Paper is the only known way to solve this problem.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think there is room for improvement here

@uncertainvector @joerogan Congrats!

Well… @joerogan on Monday, wife going into labor on Wednesday. Apologies if I’m slow to respond for the next couple days!

@KatieCorradoTV That statement confirms they received reports not that they have independent sensor cooroboration, which so far we don't seem to have.

Naval Weapons Station Earle in Middletown, NJ now confirms *two* drone sightings. This is the statement I just received: " Naval Weapons Station Earle is aware of the recent reports of drone sightings across New Jersey and continues to closely coordinate with federal and state🧵

@Mr_Torres94 @SprinterFamily 🛸

@SprinterFamily All i can think of is an army of ROBOTS. What else can be bigger than nuclear weapons???

🇮🇷 General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh: We will soon put on the table something more than drones, missiles and nuclear technology that will change all the equations.

@kimhvik2 They only have 6 tankers?

ISRAEL - Almost the whole israeli tanker fleet is in the sky.

Pre-product market fit, prioritize speed above all else. Post, prioritize quality.

The upcoming Samsung/Google XR developer kit headset was just benchmarked on Geekbench Reminder that it’s expected to ship with the XR2+ Gen 2

@WaffyonYT Oh wait, maybe there is a fruit headset somewhere that still works.

Wow Meta down. Everywhere I’m actually using quest as my work headset And cant work Fml

@andrewmccalip Now that's a vibe

What if we started putting SI prefixes in front of imperial units? Centifoot Nanogallons Megaslug Kilomiles Kilo British thermal unit

@C_Kavanagh @rebeccarightnow x.com/benthompson/st…

@C_Kavanagh @rebeccarightnow this is being too nice to Google tho because we know it wasn’t only a diversity prompt. It just wouldn’t generate images of white people when asked. “A white family.” It flat out refused. So it wasn’t only about diversity. It was about exclusion.

The Gemini AI diversity image generation seems like an illustration of a heavy handed (or at least runaway) application of a social justice agenda. I expect it will be rather quickly patched and if so that should illustrate something too. ChatGPT must be very happy right now.
