All current features are available in both versions
They will start making changes exclusively to the propriety app, and eventually the proprietary app will be completely incompatible with the FOSS app. They’re doing what Google did with AOSP.

How much energy is what is effectively a piece of performance art allowed to use? These are local models running on, presumably, consumer hardware. Do you have the same qualms about people using the same hardware and energy to play video games, livestream, or encode videos?


The LLM itself is deterministic. It outputs a vector that we interpret as a probability distribution over the set of tokens. It’s the program using the output of the LLM, such as a chatbot program, that selects an individual token using (or not using) these vector elements as weights.
The weights do not change once the model is trained. This is why I am suggesting they could be incorporated directly into the structure of an ASIC for a specific model, rather than storing them in memory.
Edit: Of course another major factor could be that the models are just to big to be wholly implemented in a single IC by any currently existing manufacturer.


I must admit I forgot about the 3S. The same idea still applies, though. It’s only affordable because of the spying. Plus it’s got a lower resolution and fresnel lenses like the Quest 2, but that’s probably not as big an issue as people make it out to be.


Considering the overwhelming support among Democratic politicians and party insiders for fascist collaboration, the odds are probably low.


LLMs are also deterministic and the weights for a model could be ‘hard-coded’ into a chip, no?


That’s true, but your question is about buying another thing that’s more privacy-respecting than the thing you already have, so I’m not sure what your point is.
That appears to be a cloud in the wallpaper, not the white line that shows tbe app is open


All VR is expensive still. Meta quest only goes as low as 650 USD because they subsidize it by spying on you so much.


Hey at least you’re having fun
This is the good option for VR with an existing computer. ‘Good’ being relative
What is HDR support on Linux like these days?
Pretty good for KDE and GNOME at least. Both DEs support HDR monitors with pretty easy setup now. MPV and GNOME Videos both support HDR for your properly obtained movie files, idk about KDE’s video player. Browser support is still lagging, experimental HDR on Firefox usually works for videos when enabled but photos less so. Photography tools like Darktable and GIMP do not support it yet.
HDR for video games running on proton is something I haven’t tried enough to tell you. I know people have it working, but I think it sometimes requires messing about with proton environment variables.
That kinda stuff also gets into the area where its harder to tell which screen is better, resolution and refresh rate are easy stats to look at.
Once you learn about the color gamuts of different displays and the HDR certifications they are also easy stats to look at. It all depends on your priorities though. Whether it’s maximizing refresh rate and fps for competitive games or doing art or having high resolution for productivity, it all changes the tradeoffs.
Many monitors nowadays support 100% DCI-P3 color gamut and that’s what most HDR media is mastered for, so that’s a pretty easy one to look for. The VESA DisplayHDR certifications also make it easy. True Black means the contrast ratio is very good for dark detail like with OLED. The number of the certification is the peak brightness in nits that the display can reasonably produce. So DisplayHDR True Black 600 would mean good contrast and 600 nit peak brightness. And a DisplayHDR 1600 would be able to go much brighter, but not necessarily have inky blacks like an OLED.
It really is meant to primarily be a PCVR headset
I hope the prepared enough considering that wayy more people are gonna be queueing for the cheaper one, probably
Why is everyone so concerned with passthrough these days? MR apps are the worst XR apps of them all
I am on the nice monitor bandwagon and I strongly recommend geting something with a VESA DisplayHDR True Black certification. Also 4K is very enjoyable if you can get it, you can always decrease resolution for FPS when gaming but the crispness of text and interfaces while doing desktop things is very nice.


The correct answer to my question based on the links provided would be “no”. They used chatbot code reviews, which is dumb. It does not appear that they used LLM-shitted code or LLM integration. Providing separately downloaded plugins is another thing. Out of those 5 plugins, arguably only one is unethical generative “AI”. One of them is a noise reduction filter, one a music track separation model (which is novel to machine learning afaik), one is voice transcription and the last is upscaling. Do you really think these are so terrible? Are you just against the entire field of machine learning? What specifically is your criticism of these?


What AI? Did they do some sort of LLM integration or use LLM-spewed code?


Hilarious, good for them
This part is not exactly true. The different tissues are not mapped one-to-one to their homologues, simply because the geometry and proportions are quite different.
