This is bento, a full steam deck in a keyboard designed with @XREAL_Global glasses in mind. This project has been a game of constraint optimization Empty space? Bento design Printer too small? Split body No mouse? Modules in the works #xr #steamdeck #productdesign #diwhy



I'm using python again for the first time in a few years. I was really hoping the ecosystem had evolved past environments. Surely I'm not the only person to finds it clunky and half baked.
Asking cursor to do anything has me believing in the Paperclip optimization story more each time.
This might be more indicative of my communication style but I cannot see how anyone uses AI as a therapist. All of my chat questions are 100% direct and transactional. I do not know this robot. I am not giving it my secrets.
For my next trick, a pi-zero powered “film-like” PoS! - EVF only, no display - tactile interface - custom optics - film simulation There are a lot of complex elements to this one, so it might take longer than bento did, stay tuned!

“Our product was bad so we added agentic AI. It’s still bad, but now it talks to you!” - a lot of startups these days.
"for developers" = it's unfinished "for enthusiasts" = for idiots "for creators" = banking on it going viral
introducing Waves, camera glasses for creators. record in stealth. livestream all day. pre-order now.
I'm in a constant battle between the AIs stupidity and my own.
This was such an obvious strategy. Google did it with ads/search AWS did it with cloud Meta did it with social Build a product, let people build on it, steal the best ideas. Tale as old as tech itself.

More hardware should ship with APIs and integrations rather than apps. A bad “companion app” can often ruin an otherwise great product.
Cursor is great but “agent” mode is a great way to just obliterate your whole codebase.
Thanks I hate it
Zoom is now freely available on Quest headsets, through an official 2D Android app on the Meta Horizon Store: uploadvr.com/zoom-now-avail…
There is a very specific rage I feel anytime I open LinkedIn that is very unique to that platform.
Case and point: “we built AI glasses” they did not. The glasses are built by @EvenRealities all these guys did was build an app for them. Still cool! But overshadowed by the blatantly fraudulent claim that they developed the hardware.
We built AI glasses that instantly makes you a supergenius. Imagine putting on a pair of glasses, and you instantly know the answer to any question, understand any word someone says, instantly calculate large numbers, knowing the best thing to say next to impress someone, and…
I’ve noticed a growing trend of founders brazenly taking credit for the work of others. From “we cloned cluely in 4 days” to “we built AI glasses that give you 300 IQ.” Both are AI wrappers shoehorned into existing products/projects. New gen of low effort fraudsters
Gen AI has inadvertently made it so much easier to spot low quality content. If the thumbnail is obviously the first thing chatGPT spit out, you can expect the same quality from the rest of the article, post, or video.
hell yeah
In Denmark, I presented a special award – the “Future of Ukraine” distinction – to 11-year-old volunteer Jens Fogh Thomsen. Since last year, he has been handcrafting Easter decorations and, through their sale, has raised over 34,000 Danish kroner to purchase school backpacks and…
