I have a tiny devboard collection habit, and gotta say coding agents work great with these. I've got a stick and a few dials running various hyper specific UIs for home assistant.

It's wild to think how efficient Internet services were prior to AI. The most expensive thing would probably have been something like encoding video. Now you've a substantial portion of a rack dedicated to a user in the case of so

JBIG2 does glyph binning, as you say not exactly OCR, but similar. So chunks of the image that look sufficiently similar get replaced with a reference to a single instance.

Interesting stuff. My first thought was "this is topaz" but if the font is bookerly, that makes less sense. There's this old patent for earlier kindle web obfuscation, which used CSS layout to scramble text https:/&#x2F

There's a handful of Windows game emulators taking off for Android. Using a modern snapdragon GPU, folks are playing Witcher 3, GTA 5. Some suffering gamer is playing through Dark Souls 2 using touch controls

Just started playing the game a few weeks ago. It's very pretty. From a game perspective it can seem pretty simplistic at first but there are a lot of interesting systems with hidden depth

Last time I was in SF I took 3 waymo rides and attempted a fourth. The attempted one was cancelled after 15 minutes of waiting for it being 2 minutes away. As best as I can tell, the waymo was stuck at an intersection where power had been l

Wild stuff. You can see the bottom horizontal trusses bending when loaded. EMT is just too thin walled for serious structural applications

EMT conduit isn't a great support material if you're handling human weight loads. The picture on the front page showing off the strength is visibly bending. It's kind of an awkward load profile, lower weight like an awning yo

Trying to understand his legal situation by analogizing with US law understanding strikes me as some real Dunning-Kruegering. Surely someone like Preston Byrne has someone he can reach out to to get a better understanding of the actual Fren

I've got a mix of LilyGo and Rak devices, and a sew Station G1's. LilyGo gets criticized, but after I switched to Rak antennas on them they work great. The meshtastic discord definitely leans pepper as well. I live in a coastal ur

Antenna selection is less important with LoRa than other mesh networks, which is nice meaning you can have a meshtastic watch for example. The link budget is massive (150 dB) meaning getting a really nice antenna is less impactful than bump

Been running a Meshtastic node for awhile now. Really amazing piece of kit. I regularly make 2 mile distant contacts in an urban area with an indoor antenna. Soon I hope to be able to have an exterior mounted one. Hope they're able to

It's a 4 year old paper, and the biggest issue it brought up, malleable read-only data, is currently being addressed with the memory control proposal. The fact that a virtual environment can't prevent all types of erroneous progra

If you think using containers provides improved security over WASM I don't think you understood the paper. At no point did they demonstrate compromising the host of the WASM program, just corrupting the state of POC's. There are o

Really nice workflow for a really common 3d print use case. I'd like to see the lid re-worked to print without support (the tall standing orientation is also asking for it to get knocked over). Not sure why they insist on 0.1mm layer h

Have half a dozen M5Stack based devices using ESPHome. There's a big community supporting that. When I tried developing using an IDE found them more troublesome.

The biggest difference between enigma and Lorenz was Lorenz was broken without seeing a physical machine. It was broken as a very long message was transmitted twice with minor changes. That allowed recovery of of the plaintext and key strea

It's also important to have an established history of use and vetting so by the time PQ is needed, systems with a long history of security are available
