Why the fuck would that be understandable lmao
I would be cautious to trust an American company just because they are non-profit. We know that if they get sufficiently big they can just transition into being for profit (see OpenAi), chances are regulations regarding this won't become stronger later.
Signal being open source of course helps, but it's usually the ecosystem that people grow to rely on that keeps them in place, not the technology. Just look at how big Reddit is compared to Lemmy for a good example of that. If signal was federal that would be quite different since jumping ship would be easy.
You can offload them into ram. The response time gets way slower once this happens, but you can do it. I've run a 70b llama model on my 3060 12gb at 2 bit quantisation (I do have plenty of ram so no offloading from ram to disk at least lmao). It took like 6-7 minutes to generate replies but it did work.
An external cartridge processing and providing battery power seems like a much better idea than the current solution of wearing the computer on your face. A small shoulder strapped device weighing a few hundred grams with a headset with more of a BSB sort of profile would be ideal for me.
I'm glad to see Apple experimenting with some ideas like this, not so much because I want an Apple headset, but because if it turns out to be a popular idea others will jump on board.
Well this is rather ironic. I'm thinking of the Opium Wars back in the day.
So far Trump is all talk, of course he hasn't yet been sworn in, but until the invasions he threatens about become real he is not worse than Putin.
Here's hoping he's all bark and no bite.
It seems like it carries some of the same DNA as the recent Metro vr game based just on this review: repetitive corridor shooter with horror elements. I might pick it up after I finish up with Metro since I think horror is a genre that vr truly elevates - even if it is so damn stressful to actually play them haha.
Yeah it is kind of dumb that you can turn from being non-profit to for-profit if it turns out you've struck gold. Cheapens the value of non-profits everywhere if they can turn that around whenever they feel like it.
In Skyrim the main quest constantly tells you about how urgent it is for you to do the next steps. You must heed the summoning of the greybeards, you must hurry along to the dragon graveyard. Time is constantly of the essence.
And then every other part of the game encourages you to goof around.
Oblivion is the same with this. Morrowind went the opposite direction with the story at times pretty much telling you to goof around for a bit before continuing the main quest (probably because people were less used to open world games maybe?).
I think daggerfall had you on actual timers so if you weren't at the correct locations in time the game would be impossible to complete. Which sure is a way to resolve the false sense of urgency lmao.
I always figured that the HTC headsets are primarily PCVR with the standalone capabilities mostly being present to handle decoding the video stream and inside out tracking. For these use cases is there a significant difference in the delay between the gen 1 and 2 chips?
I've held off on upgrading my index to a focus vision mostly due to the reported poor lens quality, but I imagine the index is probably not better. It also sucks that it doesn't plug into my existing lighthouse setup. Ah well, I'll wait a generation more I guess.
Also lol caring about AI capabilities on a vr headset.
Deep or not, I hated the levelling system of Oblivion with a passion. Needing to micromanage which skills I increase for each level so I can get a good attribute increase was such a micromanagement pain, especially when everything kept scaling up your level. Often I felt like I was getting weaker, not stronger, when I leveled.
I'd much prefer they replace the system with something different (like how it works in fallout 3) than what they did in Skyrim where they just carved out all the annoying bits and left barely anything behind though.
