I got an update for the YT Plugin yesterday evening. Also; I’m in Europe, maybe it’s a regional change?

I just tested it again, it still works here.

GrayJay still seems to work

Thank you, I wasn’t aware

I wear glasses as anyways and I’d love a heads up display. Augmented reality where I could basically spawn full sized displays anywhere for work would be nice too. I’d probably need a device to control it somehow too.

However, I wouldn’t want them from Google, Apple, Meta or any of the other large corporations. Not coupled with their walled gardens, their subscriptions, their EULAs and terms and conditions and “updates” I didn’t ask for.

I just want the hardware and a driver for Linux. Connect the glasses via WiFi to my own computer and run the applications on this computer. If I want to use the glasses outside of my home, I would set up a VPN and use my phone to create a WiFi hotspot.

However, I’m pretty sure nobody is going to build it like that, so I’ll never have smart glasses. Which is fine.

Unlike fusion reactors AI has a pretty convincing “demo” in my opinion.

On a first glance the output of LLMs and image / video generator models is very convincing and the artifacts and mistakes appear “small” for people that don’t know much about the technical details. So it’s easy to be convinced by “we’ll just fix those little bugs and be done in half a year” promises.

EV is a similar story: electric bikes and radio controlled cars and drones work great so it’s conceivable that bigger cars and trucks would work too with a “little” battery and motor tweaking.

Nuclear fusion though isn’t really tangible yet. For laypeople or seems there is no progress at all. Every now and then some scientists report that they can hold a fusion reaction a little longer or more effective but it’s not “tangible”. That’s probably also holding back a lot of investors which with all their resources mostly still seem to invest based on a gut feeling.

I have lense protectors (little glass things, against scratches fall damage) attached to my phone. Do they change the signature?

As far as I know fusion energy never got that level of hype and amount of money thrown at it. I mean the research reactors are super expensive but still on another level.

You can share the beloved leaders views and support him but once the paranoia many powerful people get at a certain point kicks in you might still die. So I’d prefer a world that’s a little more predictable with laws and stuff like that. It worked all right for quite a while.
