Your reminder that even

uses VR for cardio exercise. 🦾 Soon, most people will be working out using VR and AR. Exercise programs with immersive gamification are 10x more enjoyable, effective, and easy to adhere to. #vr #vrfitness

Had a moment of panic when @BeatSaber didn’t show up in my VR library today. Turns out you lose your freebie entitlements when you leave Meta. I am perfectly happy to give them an actual $29.99 for it! My scores remained, thankfully.

Consistent exercise is the ultimate life hack! The problem is that 87% of people don't do it regularly. Recent studies show that exercising in VR is more enjoyable, you perceive less pain, time goes by more quickly, and you push harder than with traditional workout modes. #vr

After making a New Year’s resolution to work out more this year, I stuck to a full year of 4-5 workouts per week! Literally every aspect of my life has improved from it. If you’re not already exercising often it’s a no brainer to add it to your list for this year.

Repost from Reddit, but this is a very important showcase of how much better the passthrough AR experience is with hand and arm occlusion. I don't like to talk down on devs, but the amount of Quest 2/Pro MR apps that just overlay solid held objects makes the tech look way worse.

Video game designers are the world's best behavior psychologists. Using what they have learned over the last 20 years to improve all areas of our lives will help us to level up in the ways that really matter!

We have many pieces already. Sleep from fitness trackers. Wealth from crypto wallets. Ideally you make it a widget. See it everywhere — on phone, watch, and desktop. Should I open a Replit bounty to build this? twitter.com/george__mack/s…

Training in the gym 4 days per week is more optimal for your body long-term than training 6 days. You will be more rested, have a better chance of being consistent, and the quality of your sessions will improve.

I remember flying with you in really bad turbulence. A friend was terrified. You said “Remember when the wings came off a plane?“ She said “No.” You said, “It’s because that never happened.” 🤪😏

People should never fear turbulence. Commercial airliner wings can handle insane amounts of bending.

I don’t think we’ve fully grasped just how much Apple kneecapping Facebook and Google will affect the broader economy. The main growth channels for tens of thousands of companies built in the past decade. Just got wrecked. Entire industries won’t work anymore.

A better algorithm found a better algorithm that makes the original algorithm itself better. That is, AlphaTensor improved matrix multiplication which itself improves AlphaTensor. Concrete argument for why superhuman intelligence may be able to bootstrap itself.

Since 1969 Strassen’s algorithm has famously stood as the fastest way to multiply 2 matrices - but with #AlphaTensor we’ve found a new algorithm that’s faster, with potential to improve efficiency by 10-20% across trillions of calculations per day! dpmd.ai/dm-alpha-tensor

With the wave of generative AI coming up, I've been thinking about the "$1000 blockbuster movie" Today millions of dollars (and hundreds of people) are needed to make a full length movie, a multiplayer game, or a multi-season TV series But compare that to a humble book...
