I don't really know what's going on with it on the Frame. It feels like something is fundamentally wrong in the video pipeline, not just something like full vs limited range color nonsense.

Latency felt about the same too, but social VR games aren't a good test for that.

I am really surprised at how bad the video streaming is though. It's a night and day difference going between Virtual Desktop on a Quest and Steam Link on the Frame. Hopefully they'll sort that out soon, or maybe there's some magic setting I haven't found yet.

open software is super cool though and you know I've already opened ssh up and am giving it a good poke around haha

- Lenses are pretty good. I need to side-by-side them with a Q3 to really tell the difference. FOV is wider so the pixel density is slightly worse, but not by much Some of these things can definitely be fixed in software later. Kinda slightly disappointed at the moment though.

- Controllers drift when not in view quite rapidly - Interface needs more work ... got stuck several times with overlays not responding to input. - No headphone jack. Seriously annoying when the onboard speakers are kinda meh. - Microphones are noticeably worse than Index's.

Finally got my hands on a Steam Frame. First impressions: - FOV is wide and good - Headset is quite comfy - Arcturus passthru cam is slightly worse than Q3 passthru, world's better than quest pro. Slightly soft, meh motion blur. - Stream compression is _really_ bad, particularly the colors [...]

Not gonna make it to BLFC for those who were expecting to see me there, sorry. Also no NFC for me either! Too many life things getting in the way right now. Best of luck with reg for those trying to go! I'll be back in 2028 probably. <3

After years of having this glowing creature concept floating around in my brain, along with several adjacently-colored avatars with only a loose resemblance, I finally have a ref sheet. Yes the name has a Y. I am a millennial. Thank you @kestrelcorvus.bsky.social!

Anyone else stuck in the reservation queue for the steam frame, waiting for the buy link to show up a week later?

I'm so glad you've managed to push through college despite everything. You've grown a lot since I met you, and I'm happy to call you my friend.

Maybe put it behind the usual VRC AFK detection so you can toggle it.

Can it be hacked to run OpenWRT or such?

This is what I've seen in YT videos, but I am terrified of burning through the paint. I know that the exposed paint will probably end up being a touch spotchy, especially this blue color, but as long as it's not as noticeable it's probably fine?

Question for car folk: I've got peeling clear coat on the roof of my car. I'd like to take care of it before a big trip coming up. My general plan was to hit it with a combination of a rotary sander and wet sandpaper, and then once everything is smooth I hit it with 2k clear coat. Thoughts?

What's the limit for you? AI assisted research? AI assisted code completion? AI code writing? Agent based project management and system development? I personally don't use any of this, but trying to better understand what folk in the community think about it all.

Game devs and World creators: What's your take on AI generated scripts, shaders, and systems for development? A lot of creative communities agree that AI generated content is bad, but code is the one area that has had the most polarizing takes. #vrchat #unity

Also for completeness: The club feathers were also entirely in vertex shader, more nonsense of mine. None of this code is actually that complicated. It's mostly just distortions and noise cubes.

The logo construction animation is also my code. It's another gpu particle system. Way fewer screenshots of that. I wrote entirely too many gpu particle systems for Somna.

Digging around old screenshot folders The mother bichi's tail in the Furality Somna lobby is some GPU particle nonsense I wrote. Have some various screenshots when I was sitting there randomly adjusting values until we were happy. #vrchat #furality #unity

The buffer handling doesn't help, but the real slowdowns are in the unity engine itself processing the wm_char messages. If you're in a world in client without this code, you get the same frame lag spikes when sending data.

One thing we need to separate is traditional ML vs generative AI. A lot of the cancer/drug research using AI is just traditional machine learning models, and not these massive LLMs and diffusion models that are being pushed. But it's all being wrapped under the 'AI' label as if it were the same.

I am _always_ aware of my tail. And so is everyone around me. It's a bit of a problem, really.

it encodes textures for the gpu, which needs a basically uncompressed format
