At least one (or maybe two depending how you define things) of the examples does that. Because you mean "client side javascript".

Django?

No

It solves the problem with hand tracking if done correctly (and only Apple has come close).

Hand-tracking is a terrible idea without micro gestures and eye tracking - because your arms tire very quickly and pointing at things is very inaccurate. There's a reason why brushes are more popular than finger painting)

Of course - we've already invented the optimum solution which is tracked 6dof controllers - but someone decided they aren't ever going to be mainstream so here we are...

Maybe I just don't have your refined eye but I've assumed this was a solved problem for several years.

I also think a well encoded mp3 at around 192kbs VBR is good enough for everyone and nobody needs a 4k TV - so judge me as you see fit.

As steady as any XR headset is. It's the same inside-out 6DOF tracking as Quest etc and feels just as stable.

(If that's all you want from them, aren't there cheaper solutions? These are "full VR in glasses form factor")

Not sure. I mainly still use a Quest 3 as a monitor replacement and had no strong reason to switch. The prescription inserts I got with these weren't quite right for my prescription and I prefer using my actual spectacles. So I've only used them to port stuff to/develop for - and tinker with existing apps (mainly the google supplied stuff as the embargo only lifted yesterday so there wasn't much released for it specifically).

I've got a pair. AMA...

My eye sight declined when I started using XR regularly. However it was also at the age where my eye sight was probably going to decline anyway!

Ugh. I've never heard that use of "DRM" before and I work with this stuff day to day. Be responsible in your uses of TLAs, people.

> essentially identical for productivity

The devil is in the details. Every single UX design choice can have massive impact on productivity and creative tooling workflows. Don't predict anything based on the spec sheet.

If you don't accept this particular argument then there are plenty more. This one is just quick and easy to convey.

There are very solid arguments backing up the same general points that require time to communicate and require good faith attempts to understand from the other party. But you probably don't want those either.

So do it. Everything AI assisted I've made has involved a ton of work. The only difference AI has made is that I've increased the level of my ambition and avoided a ton of things that were previously blockers.

Presumably a decent chunk of those might now reconsider?

Cough, WordStar, cough...

I know the initial "why". I just don't understand why it wasn't removed after a month.

"How" Gyroscopes Got So Small.

God, I so hate the auto-title "fixing" feature on HN.

How come I hadn't already seen that? Thank you.

Please try and dial back the hyperbole. It doesn't help your case.

> Well-written prose is far less likely to go viral but far outstrips the importance rendering a fantasy world in one shot.

I'm not entirely sure you're correct. Your claim boils down to "Writing natural human prose" vs "Broad use of complex software and spatial awareness". My gut feeling is that there's more untapped and fruitful applications in the second group than the first - at least in the short term.

Crumbs

My first memory of her being mentioned on this site was the dawning skepticism followed by the big expose. But it's possible I missed the fawning because it didn't sound as interesting

But you couldn't make me review it. Anyway I think you're just straw manning what I was trying to say. I probably didn't express it terribly clearly and I'm not invested enough in this debate to put any more time in.

Not a mathematician but surely if a problem I was working on had an AI also working on it, I would want to know as early as possible - even with flaws or gaps. What advantage is it to me to be less informed?

Or house flipping TV shows

I can't be sure but I vaguely recall it being associated with the big Microsoft antitrust court case? Along with the delightful phrase "knifing the baby"

That's odd. I've been aware of that word for decades.

Here's how I think about it. There's two different things "knowing how to use AI effectively" and "knowing how to leverage effective AI to improve your project".

1. Both are multipliers on skills you already have. A "noob" will be at a disadvantage.

2. The second one is a complex blend of technical skill, domain knowledge and human factors (knowing your user-base, knowing your product/project, understanding UX/DX/whatever) that you probably will always have an edge on.

To be fair - my recollection was "representing browser vendors and pragmatists". It was far from rhe industry stitch-up that that might sound like to modern ears.

Yeah - the lack of hand holding is partly laziness and partly intentional. I personally love digging into deep visual toys and figuring out what various button presses do.

But I probably do need to make it a little less mysterious and fix some of the obvious ux gotchas.

The brief tutorial is also probably slightly out of date since I added some features.
