Those glasses should be an actual crime everywhere.

unless perhaps you need them for accessibility reasons.

There is no accessibility reason ever for covering up the light or recording. I will accept describing objects in FOV etc but nothing should be persistable or sent to a third party that trains on them and saves them without the consent of everyone in view, a company should build non-criminal glasses without these feature sets and have insurance pay for them.

> I will accept describing objects in FOV etc

What does covering the light has to do with the glasses in general?


Which accessibility reasons are these?

A camera and some rudimentary software should be a pretty good fix for color blindness. A camera and modern AI is a decent mitigation to partial or perhaps even complete blindness (prior art: Be My Eyes). A microphone, STT, and display would help with deafness.

They're fabulous for blind people. https://afb.org/aw/fall2025/meta-glasses-review

There is a short video on the BBC website of a blind person using them to give an audible warning of uneven pavement/sidewalks in front of them.

E.g. video to speech for a blind person.

Video doesn't do speech, that's audio.

So a microphone vs a camera


Video to speech is audible narration.

I use them alone, in a glider, to help review my own flights. It gives a very helpful PoV, and I can see the instruments and where I was looking.

That should be a crime?


It may be that a solo activity is not what the GP had in mind.

One of the few rare real reasons to owning and if that's the real reason. In that instance the better approach is that the glasses should be held under a permit.

The camera should be disabled until you obtain a permit.

Drones require a license and agreement to fly, these should be too.


Why wouldn’t it be the real reason? You like to assume people are lying?

Yes, it’s the real and ONLY reason I have these. When my flight is over I take them off and revert to regular shades.


Do people not lie? It's not assumption it's more a tally. I meet you at zero. I can't trust words without facts. The former of what you said builds trust.

I would hope the same that I am trusted after proven and not trusted until known.

We all should be able to trust each other but that's not case in todays world.


Then what’s the point of discussion? You claim all usages should be illegal. I give you what I think shows a valid use.

And what next? The answer is it’s not true? What’s even the point?


I am not saying that. I am saying that the glasses should be under permitted use.

You can fly a drone on your own land. You can wear meta glasses on your land. I don't give a shit about that.

What I am saying is that if you want to wear the glasses in public, get a permit otherwise the camera or any geo-tracking features should be disabled.

It should be traceable to who wears these. I don't want to be filmed in public by some creep with a hidden recording device as to the likes of public not wanting hobbyist drones flown over their head.

You may act responsibly with them and that's great, but I doubt those do. Unfortunately that drags you in to the mix and others who use them legitimately too.

Unless they who wear the glasses tell me why they're wearing the glasses I will make association that you're in the same crowd. You stated you don't, so I believe you.


It was interesting to me at my hotel for EDC -- many of the people were downright doomscrolling kalshi, polymarket like it was tiktok but would never go near the casino floor or touch a machine.

When I learned video blackjack is playing the odds in a way that tickled my brain I’ll admit I enjoyed it. I’m sure for some prediction markets do the same. If you can stay level headed there’s probably easy money to be made on prediction markets trading people’s momentum. Staying level headed isn’t easy.

Bummer that tables on the strip in Vegas have such high minimums. Couldn’t even get myself to play one hand on them (but losing $500 in a matter of minutes on Kalshi or Polymarket seemed like nothing)


Touch one hardware key for every interaction then, not 123456, the hell?


The people using hetzner cloud are probably hosting CRUD apps


At what point in the slope does a regular musician fall toward credit card theft to pay for premium streaming accounts


on older gemini models ide have to actively give them encouragement and/or easy bait problems that they can correctively solve without issue to avoid runaway spiraling into "i'm useless and i want to kms" behaviour with complex use case.

I have not seen this in other models.


I assumed it was more because the LLM might echo an understandable human claim of "if it's been unsolved for 370 years, it's unlikely to be solved now/likely to need expert knowledge", which is probably a mindset that appears in its training data.

The LLM likely needs to be reminded of its abilities.

Like when it tells you something is 3 days of work but it can do it with some degree of guidance in a couple hours


If it’s 3 days it’s something like 15 minutes, if it’s 3 weeks, that takes a couple hours lol. Seems like there’s some sanity to the estimates after all when you think about it, it’s just the scale it gets wrong due to estimating human time.


Imho part of isuse here is that you cannot "partial AV" it.

You cannot have a car that will EVER need you to intervene or else it does not work because of awful human nature. The amount of tesla uber drivers ive had literally browsing tiktok, watching youtube UNTIL the car beeps that it is a green light detected, then they immediately hit the accelerator before looking up is ridiculous. You cannot have a half ass "autopilot" driving experience where you are expected to zone out and then be expected to take control within a millisecond during uncertainty. It does not help that FSD, AP, aAP, bAP, the model, whether the car is visual only all apply differently


Threat model a bit different, they can just request xcancel.com/unique-string and check what IP or account requested unique-string IMO


Probely because that is the entirety of it. There is zero story or creativity or anything else that goes into an actual game, virtually nothing is named and any that has is a simply word or two jammed together into a name -- the player guide is written in claudish and has a literal table of the number of roads.

I don't think this is so much a game as a figure out how much can be vibecoded, such a tech demo rather of an engine


If you are caught midway, you get banned for abuse/ToS, and you are not allowed to delete/edit your comments-account if you are unable to sign in. (I am guessing they are retaining data under some bullshit about gdpr legitimate interest in preventing abuse)

Rate limits are also quite low so it might take weeks to delete. Many subs will automatically ban you if you edit a comment to say something like 'redacted by' (ex: https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/1t1fekj/redact_...)


nah i do it all the time

log in, click on my profile, press f-12, go to console, run some script i found a while ago.

get to watch em go, one at a time. slow process compared to a API key but it's nice to see what I wrote 6 months ago and what the final karma score was.

probably gonna stop using the site in a month or so tho. site has gone down hill
