I used my M2 version of the Vision Pro every day last week, as did one of my colleagues and at least three of our clients.

This is not true. A few well known brands made both DDR3 and DDR4 servers that support v3 & v4 chips. Ask me how I know :-)

I'd find it easier to believe this comment is AI generated, given that the account is only 53 minutes old. The text on the t-shirt looks totally normal to me. The fact that this blogger, whose blog I'm reading for the first time t

I believe this Elixir based project is influenced somewhat by Rails: https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/overview.html Not tried it, but I came across it whilst updating my knowledge on what was out there that was similar/

I'm pretty sure it's been the case since at least 7.0, as I've done it a few times on hosts such as Scaleway that only offered a Debian base image for my machine.

I agree, but then I spend a lot of time talking about and developing software for Apple Vision Pro so perhaps I see this in a different light to most. Feels like a great interface for random discovery and/or semi-random discovery withi

This is fricking awesome. It's the coolest thing I've seen on HN for a while. Love it! N.B. I visit HN multiple times per day. I've been a member of HN since 2010. My last comment was made in 2018. I logged in for the first t

Anyone care to comment on whether this complements or competes with Rancher 2.0?

On linux you could try QEMU/KVM with GPU passthrough - install virtmanager for GUI. Easy with a desktop, difficult to do, but possible on Optimus laptops with - so you need the right kind of integrated and dedicated GPU there - see thi

^^ I did lots of research on whether Meteor was the right move for us. I ended up learning about Vulcan.js, which is developed by the Sacha who built the very popular Telegram on Meteor back in the day. I have to say I'm impressed so f

Saw that the Centriq 2434 (40 cores) is listed at RRP $888. Does anyone know if you can get hold of a Centriq cpu & compatiple motherboard to build a local server or two? I fancy one in our lab rack to play around with. I'm assumin

Well done you! Though 30 is not that old, I've never believed that old adage about old dogs. Grit, determination, self belief and a positive outlook are some of the main ingredients required to change course in life. Sacrifice will mos

Thanks for the upvotes. Gratifying to see there are others who choose to think positively too. I do understand some of the skepticism, but I think saying: "The product doesn't exist. The only image of the device on that Creator pa

I'm a bit fed up of the childish negativity that always seems to be sent in Magic Leap's general direction. Instead of putting energy into this I'd suggest pointing the energy towards creating something yourself. To the Magic

The other thing that needs to happen is that the skill, time and money required to create quality VR & AR content needs to be significantly reduced. This will come with time too. We're doing our own small part to try and make that

I find it fascinating that SpaceX manages to pull off one of the most amazing things in the history of humanity and the top comment thread here on HN somehow manages to get bogged down in discussing race, gender and sexual orientation as it

Anyone know what the poly-limit is for uploaded models? Would really like to see them support GLtf from Khronos as an input/output(API) file format. That's one of the formats we're watching closely at http://realit

Yes. Ignore the naysayers :-) Check out VirtuaGL and TurboVNC. It is possible to run these two things inside a docker container, install a DE and accelerate a GUI app. I've been doing it for quite a while. Also for all those checking t

I agree with all the points you made specifically about AltspaceVR. They may have been in a better place right now if they'd tried to bootstrap. Who knows, there are probably a number of factors at play here. When I tried it ages ago I

* Monoscopic far field rendering for mobile VR. Not sure how long this has been brewing, but I imagine it provides a significant performance boost. Anyone got any experience using it from the previews? Great work Epic!

Looking forward to this too. I'm going to the launch party for Houdini 16 here in East London tonight. Make sure to check out Fabric Engine too, especially if you're doing any realtime VR/AR stuff. Overall, I'm most exci

Me too! I've been wondering when this would turn up. I've been dreaming of flying around coasts and up mountains for a long time. I honestly think this will alter people's perceptions of time and place and space. I wonder if

Another vote for Rancher here, though I have to confess I've only just started to use it seriously. Very slick and flexible. Look into running Deis on top of it.

You seem to have missed the point here. A Landrover does not a mobile home make. How are they supposed to live in a Landrover comfortably for 19 months?

Thanks for the clarification and for spotting the 4khz error. This is fascinating stuff. Looks like I'll have to concede that voice acting is much more practical, for now at least.

But does anyone know if it's possible to do TTS with the recently released libraries? Thanks for the links, but to my ear the samples on those links don't hit the mark. The Wavenet samples in the original article cross the thresho
