I can vouch that Ed is a truly welcoming person to all.
There’s a lot of grognards who aren’t. He is. Glad he cleared the air.
Unfortunate tweets are the fail vs Wis checks we all fear.

I want to make it very clear that I am sorry for what occurred earlier. I want EVERYONE to feel safe and included, and I did not mean to cause any harm with my haste and negligence when promoting that tweet. Representation is so important and I want to be an ally to that ideal

Y’all. This podcast never disappoints.
It’s very nsfw. It’s funny. I learn things. It’s very well researched. They provide sources! It’s alignment is wholesome-naughty.

Over the next few days, I’m going to be sharing some pro-tips about Apple Vision Pro and Spatial media. I’ll add them below this tweet, so bookmark it to come back to it.
I have been known to horse around a little bit, but this one is for real with zero foolin’, I promise🙏🏽

Winter session is so chill. This is how college should be all the time. Students hanging out talking about big ideas they have, trying new things. They have time to breathe and reflect. Universities need to build in more time like this.

They are not being unproductive! Today I’ve had discussions about embodied robotics projects, a VR app the club is building to deter drunk driving, set up 3 student events.

This is great college stuff.

It’s 2024. Our goto device is still the htc vive, it’s the Nokia phone of hmds.
VIVE, DAS, Wireless Adapter, Index Controllers.
Still good.

Funny how many of us in “cutting edge VR” love retro.
I’m in! I need to play the first one too.

Retropolis 2: Never Say Goodbye is coming to Steam and Meta Quest on January 18th!
The entire game was hand painted within VR and includes 2.5 million virtual brush strokes, a testimony to our commitment and passion to this medium.
Help us spread the word.

Hey, on the plus side, he referred to immigrants as people and not as poison like his good buddy Trump.
But yeah, Greg, shooting people seeking a better life. That’s a bad look. Maybe rethink that.
I know some lovely people in Texas but man, Texas government is scary bad.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) tells Dana Loesch the "only thing we're not doing is shooting people" crossing the border because "the Biden Administration would charge us with murder."

When smart talented people start a project that's the same idea you had just been talking about, it's a good thing even though it makes ya wince a bit. I should moved faster. lol. But honestly, I'm going to follow and hopefully contribute to this project.
OPEN SOURCE! WOOT!

Why wait for someone else to productize your life? With open models and readily available wearable hardware, you can accelerate your cognition right now, That's why @EthanSutin and I are launching a fully open source project to build an ambient smart assistant system that listens to and observes your life, endowing you with super human memory that's fully in your control.
Please reach out to either of us if you're interested in pushing the boundaries of always-on AI. We're going to launch with off-the-shelf inexpensive hardware you can turn into a necklace, pin, or any wearable form factor you want. It also works with amazing hardware you may already have, such as the Apple Watch.
Expect more next week, including a GitHub repo. We will be building in public.

I was going Pi Zero W and arducam to get to a cloud based app that would do all the heavy lifting. Just sensors at the edge to keep cost and battery needs own. No 5g (yet). I mostly live in a wifi bubble.
I might still finish mine just to say I did.

So, if you haven't done it and you're a pro gamer type, you might think 'hey that's nice grandpa'. Sure kid Sure, but hear me out. It's SO SATISFYING. It's like Lego meets a detailed model with chill music. You're not going to get a K/D ratio from it but you'll enjoy it.
The M20 Tamerlane puzzles are beautiful - the higher the piece count, the bigger the final puzzle.
Great way to see all the little details, some of them are just mesmerizing! 🤯

45 people turning out for SVVR meetup next week (so far). Usually we don’t hit that until the day before. At this rate it’ll be 100.
Come to the meetup. It’s fun, good talks, neat demos and people there ALL have interesting stories to tell.

I love you all(the people I know here) but at some point, we gotta deal with the fact that the owner of this site is literally a bad human being.
