I have custom comfortable full body VR, and I’ve done this exact thing in the photo. It is very uncomfortable and inconvenient after about 45 minutes, and is one of the major reasons why the Apple Vision Pro/XR flopped.
- Typing at angle is very slow and crap on your wrists
- You look like you’re in the ICU
- You won’t get any work done, because you could just take a nap instead, haha

As someone with 5,000 hours logged into virtual reality as of 2025, your comment leaves me a little confused. 😵💫
You mean “VR Ready” as like, a marketing terminology, right?
Because high-quality, full-body motion tracking virtual reality is available to everyone today for around $3,000-$5,000. It used to cost $140,000 in 1996.

Hell yeah, I love scientists 😎
You’re right 👍
I guess this makes me an engineer using FP4 and not FP64

F = M×A
So if your F and A are constants (e.g: Where A is the gravity of the Earth) you solve for M.
Also known as a balancing scale.
Magrail works too.
- Comment on AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid 4 weeks ago:
The enormous irony here would be if the author used a generative tool to write the article criticizing them, and whoever commented that he doesn’t get the point is exactly right – it’s like 6 to 10 pages of analogies to unrelated topics.
- Comment on Every Time I Post 4 weeks ago:
“Not joking nor serious” is either facetiousness or sarcasm.
In either case, it’s a black flag for Machiavellianism (belief in the superiority of oneself and/or inferiority of others) which is on the Dark Triad Cluster of antisocial behavior.
Someone pulls that shit IRL, don’t trust them.

Oh holy shit.
I think you’re actually right, it’s probably Denuvo tanking performance
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 5 weeks ago:
You have to enable HDR in the Windows 10 settings, do Win+I, type “HD Color”, and then set your AMD display drivers to “Color Correction” in Display to adjust for the bad Win10 HDR implementation.
My recommendation is:
Temperature: 10000 Brightness: -10 Hue: 0 (default) Contrast: 120 Saturation: 165
Then enable HDR in Dark Ages, followed by FSR and Frame Gen, if you want.
HDR is the key.
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 5 weeks ago:
I have FSR working (Win10+ AMD 7900XTX), but it’s obvious that they have screwed the pooch in optimization.
I just finished Doom: Eternal yesterday before the Dark Ages came out and it ran fully maxed out at 1440p @ 240 FPS without upscaling and was gorgeous.
Dark Ages looks pretty much the same as Eternal, but runs at 120-144 FPS.
That’s still absolutely playable but how did it lose 50% performance in an IDTech game?

As a long time DooM fan, the constant “use fire hook with double barrel shotgun for armor” got really old, really fast.
If you didn’t do it on the higher difficulty settings, like Ultra-Violence, you simply died.
I’m actually hoping they take a page from HeXen for this installment

If you are using CPU only, you need to look at very small models or the 2-bit quants.
Everything will be extremely slow otherwise.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I don’t know what GPU you’ve got, but Lexi V2 is the best “small model” I’ve seen with emotions, that I can just cite from the top of my head.
It tends to skew male and can be a little dark at times, but it’s more complex than expected for the size (8B feels like 48-70B).
Do Q8_0 if you’ve got the VRAM, Q5_KL for speed, IQ2 or IQ3 if you’ve got a potato.

My answer to this is yes.
I’m an AI Developer and my only option was to self host because I didn’t want my training data leaking out onto the web and by extension, China and the rest (I trained on my own data, writing, and notes, along with Wikipedia).
Self-hosting gives you complete freedom but also as one other user cautioned, don’t fall down the well/rabbit hole.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Use an executable like LM Studio, and then an off the shelf pre-trained model from Huggingface.
VRAM × 0.8 for max size.
Experiment until you find one you like.

Well, you are absolutely correct. A 1-2% DoD is something for like, the Voyager Probe though, not a smartphone :)

I charge wired (high speed, 18-22W). Wireless is known to be a lot slower and theoretically gentler on the battery.
I also use the phone heavily, like a computer, I’m a “power user”, so my battery thrashing is higher than average.
Us having the same durability lost on our engine despite me driving double the miles is a good analogy.

Depth of Discharge, sorry – 0 to 100 would be a 100% depth (the entire battery), 30 to 80 is 50%.
