XR Reality Check: What Commercial Devices Deliver for Spatial Tracking
Inaccurate spatial tracking in extended reality (XR) devices leads to virtual object jitter, misalignment, and user discomfort, fundamentally limiting immersive experiences and natural interactions. In this work, we introduce a novel testbed that enables simultaneous, synchronized evaluation of multiple XR devices under identical environmental and kinematic conditions. Leveraging this platform, we present the first comprehensive empirical benchmarking of five state-of-the-art XR devices across …

Always good to get a reality check. At the same time good to remember the data collection of this trial was from October 2024 to Decembre 2024. Models have improved since then, reasoning, more tool use etc.

Benchmarking ECG Foundational Models: A Reality Check Across Clinical Tasks
The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is a long-standing diagnostic tool. Yet machine learning for ECG interpretation remains fragmented, often limited to narrow tasks or datasets. Foundation models promise broader adaptability, but their generalization across diverse ECG tasks is not well understood. We benchmarked eight ECG foundation models on 26 clinically relevant tasks using 12 public datasets comprising 1,650 regression and classification targets. Models were evaluated under fine-tuning an…

Preserving Russek's "Summermood" Using Reality Check and a DeltaLab DL-4 Approximation
As a contribution towards ongoing efforts to maintain electroacoustic compositions for live performance, we present a collection of Pure Data patches to preserve and perform Antonio Russek's piece "Summermood" for bass flute and live electronics. The piece, originally written for the DeltaLab DL-4 delay rack unit, contains score markings specific to the DL-4. Here, we approximate the sound and unique functionality of the DL-4 in Pure Data, then refine our implementation to better match the unit…

Reality check. A reminder for all us geeks.
With all Gentoo, Nix, Slackware, FreeBSD shizzle (and I love it) I can tell you nothing beats the ease and completeness of Linux Mint.
Just installed LMDE 7 beta and it's amazing.
Any day of the week us geeks have to recommend this, once it is out of beta, to newcomers in Linux.

I know it's hopelessly naive of me (and it's going to go over like a lead balloon on here), but I often think that AI can kind of reset the scales on Brandolini's law.
You see some of this dynamic with Grok already, where despite Musk's best efforts, the poor bot just keeps outputting consensus reality.
What's more, the hardcore X crowd is more than happy to ask Grok to fact check any single tweet. There is real appetite for a quick, automated fact checker.
