teaearlgraycold Link ParentI have a strong suspicion this is one of those situations where half of the submissions are from a handful of people. One person could easily have AI crank out a hundred submissions per day.I have a strong suspicion this is one of those situations where half of the submissions are from a handful of people.

It's still uncharted territory. And if Russia takes down a US satellite the US might just try to take down all of Russia's. It would be a shitshow and no one wants to throw the first punch.

So if you ever need maximum wattage for hardware in space (as you would for AI) those positioned in these orbits are the only ones that can perform those high-wattage workloads. It’s a “land” grab.
They’re probably thinking that a military would have future interest in compute in space. As of yet no one has crossed the line of shooting down a satellite. Given Kessler Syndrome it’s in everyone’s interest to avoid that.

Edit: One thing I do right now is provide agents I set up with access to their own source code. I created an agent that's a glorified search engine for an organization. You chat with it through Discord and it can search Discord, our internal wiki, the broader web, and can read the source code to any of the organization's code repositories. We have a lot of technical people so it gets a lot of question like "@Bot what agent framework are you using?" etc. (for the record, no framework - the
agent.tsfile is only a few hundred lines and wouldn't benefit from anything so fancy). -

But I've learned in Singapore they have little plastic scent sticks made with menthol and eucalyptus - one side is an oil dropper to rub on your hands/wrists. What's funny is these little plastic things have different colored rings around them. As someone unfamiliar I assumed this was to denote the scent inside. But no. They're so ubiquitous that you need different colors to keep track of which one belongs to you.

The mouse wasn't detected mostly because of its size - the model only sees two 576 pixel wide images. Running on the headset the object detection runs at 30fps but the program places the bounding boxes in physical space and translates/rotates them as your head moves so they appear fluid. I'm thinking about streaming inference results from a desktop computer to allow for better quality and more capabilities. I might use a segmentation model to highlight the full shape of the distinct object you've selected/looked at and then give you a short description of what it is.
I think a future headset will always do this in the background and highlight humans/pets that get too close so you don't accidentally hit them.
Proximate is definitely possible and could be an awesome escape room.

The back-end is a set of proprietary ISAs that are largely undocumented. You'd just need to understand it well enough to adapt it. It's likely some operations could not be implemented efficiently on an AMD card without hardware changes.

I switched from using eye tracking to controller pointing for object selection because you need the headset really well mounted else the eye tracking is off by a few degrees. I'm waiting for the upgraded passthrough cameras before working on it further. The quality difference should be so dramatically different I'm not going to waste time working with the stock cameras.

That assumes you're trying to do that from scratch as a one-shot prompt. If you instead have it cloning games and modifying clones you've already published it would be pretty easy to flood the store. Granted, I don't know what kind of games are going up and I could just check but I won't bother.
