Brings me back nearly a decade ago as I was tinkering with Bose Frames twitter-archive.benetou.fr/utopiah/stat... in early 2017 during a hackathon in NYC. Is the past the future?😎 /s

Damn, so there is in fact on-going work for WebXR support on the Valve Frame github.com/utzcoz/chrom... with some support from Valve (which makes the device) and some verification from Google (which makes Chrome the browser). Very exciting, can't wait to give it a go.🚀 🐧 🕶️

I'm excited for the Frame only because it runs on Linux 🐧 ❤️ , the rest, as tinkered in e.g. twitter-archive.benetou.fr/utopiah/stat... I don't think is specifically new. Sure it will reach a broader audience of rich (flat) gamers but that's about it.🤷

It is the same with tackling technical debt. Once you use the better architecture or newest stack that handles a lot of the complexity your worked on, good results look nearly too basic.

Utopiah @benetou.fr · 06/09/2026
Refactoring isn't hard technically, it's hard mentally because you take a complex project ... then you make it simpler. The result of good refactoring makes its author look more replaceable.

Using someone's phone Google generated an "answer" without me explicitly asking for it. Honestly I was positively surprised thinking (I have to confess) that it was an interesting suggestion, that I "should" have thought of it myself. Well... it's was nearly correct. Totally useless as-is though.🤷‍♂️

I think even calling this "cheating" is, like "hallucination" or "thinking" or "reasoning" giving the tool too much credit, projecting intent where there is none.

weird idea of the day : in XR what if the scale of your hands was proportional to the distance to your face? Hands close? Tiny for precise tasks, hands at normal distance, normal size, hands 10m away, hands twice bigger than usual. 🙌🤔

Software trained to generate plausible text out of the statistics on large quantities of text does so, including when requested to explain how it does so. 0 surprise whatsoever yet concerning for users who conflate plausible results with actual thinking. reasoning theater arxiv.org/html/2603.05...

It has nothing to do with those 2 generations between smarter or better in any way than others, it's just lucky (arguably) timing when technology and its literacy genuinely democratized and thus lead to empowerment.

Utopiah @benetou.fr · 03/09/2026
Some people joke that technological literacy peaked with Millennials and Gen Z but... honestly between BigTech, Surveillance Capitalism, now CS careers prospect in doubt (incorrectly so IMHO) or at least less sexy, LLMs as low cost (and low quality) teacher alternative... I bet it will be true.

What's more ecological, downloading a 700MiB 720p video or a 1080p HEVC x265 10Bit 400 MiB? The lower file size is obviously better but also I imagine a more modern compression algorithm is more demanding to play? 🤷

Magnets work and are strong enough to walk around with them but it needs support below to avoid moving while typing on the outermost columns.
