I'm puzzled as there seems to be a clear pattern on how a human user would look like vs a bot. High bot likely hood if: If a session jumps to a different ip. If the session jumps IP after just a few requests. If a new blank session sta

This hints at a hiking trip planner maybe? Depending on time of day and year evaluate a path to be in the direct sun/shade? In summer, I might want to avoid the direct sun. Suggest the hiking path with least direct sunshine. And if it

Great result - it would be nice to learn how this could be used.. How would you connect a Tamron lens to a Linux machine? Is this with the external USB port or Bluetooth dongle? Or through the bayonet connector? A linx camera controlling it

I think this is a clever idea. A hub motor for each leg adds some weight, but you get a rolling mode on flat terrain with great range. At the same time you keep obstacle climbing mode with stationary wheels, and can use the leg actuators as

I tried to think about difficult ways to compute the high frequency coefficients to work from the "wrong" coefficients of the first image... But this is clever - just smash them together. Low frequency of one image concatenated wi

Both your points hold. The distinction is rather that the device was made next door, from raw materials, with them possibly watching. Certainly acknowledging the craftsmanship, but still while understanding your tools. Today, labs are fille

The linked article is a high level announcement that new sensors were installed, but no experiments yet. I would have loved if they shared some technical details, e. g. which sensors, how does it record, frequency range and sample rate, tim

I'm surprised there are no security researchers that would pick up on this. Take the same prompt and all incoming mails and run again through various existing models, even the simpler local ones. He now has a serious cross section of p

I guess the decoder is more than the 208 bytes that this page uses.. But maybe you can misuse this and store a session ID / cookie in a favicon (give everyone a unique one) and survive some cookie cleanup and evade privacy restrictions

I guess this was more related to syncing GPUs. If you were to take 500 computers with older 1080 GPUs, you might have enough compute/ram equivalent to an H200 GPU for training such a model. Maybe take 10000. But if those machines are s

I see another advantage.. You can switch a motor without permanent magnets to "idle mode". I understand in Tesla dual motor configurations, the front motor is without magnets. The excitation field will be turned on when you need e

Well.. The automatic part comes from the camera directing the settings mostly. The lens would be motorized focus/aperture. For motion picture cinematography, I've seen remote controlled focus anyway. I don't see why you coul

Good writeup and solid presentation of wifi timing experiments. With his typical product-ready development and polished descriptions, I'm glad there are also some unfinished ideas in his drawer. (my imposter syndrome)

I'm already annoyed by the marketing to call it fullspectrum - this seems to promise more than demonstrated. Maybe call it "CMYK printing"? I was hoping to see them printing a photograph (either on a horizontal or on a vertic

I'm impressed by the coding skill to achieve a seamless integration and "usability". But other than a demo "because we can" I'm confused on what this could ever be useful for. AR/VR prototyping? Virtual sh

I would expect that this leads to cases where the game is handed over to a shell company that goes bankrupt. The shell does not have the rights to all parts of the code and can thus release only part of it in a state that is useless. Some p

The paper shows a through analysis of write amplification and slowdown/wear with large databases (800GB) on a single machine. Databases are MySQL and postgres. As already commended, this can lead to an optimized storage table format f

Summary: dry contact with nearly any laboratory glove will lead to sample contamination and over estimation of microplastics. They found one type of clean room gloves that contaminate less. Is there any indication on how bad this really is?

This would have been nice if code was included, but I did not see it. It is just the statistics of the specific Kodim dataset, that was once published on a Photodisc. Use cases for this? Maybe to validate you own statistics computation? The

Brilliant to get this done all the way through. Once you introduce a HDL and start optimizing, I would expect more than half of the transistors to be redundant. But you would end up with a circuit that you will not understand any more.. But

Well... I have a hard time imagining to get location by yelling "where are you? " "by the trees!" It really sounds immensely useful to know last location (while they were still in range). Use case: I was out, picking wil

Maybe I skipped over it, but the (suspected) narrow band emission of their diodes is something that could be detectable. Electronic warfare is not about listening, but just seeing the location of the emitter. If you had someone with a diffe

Christopher Helmke just shared another trick https://youtu.be/tSvwcUbL95Q?si=YunTp0p5Duu754cX It is a clever mechanism to separate a wide range of parts. Like a vi Rating feeder, but without adjusting the device for differe

A beautiful balance of effort and benefit. I don't know any better, but the screw counting mechanism seems awkward. Imagine the set has 10 components.. I'm surprised there is no standard solution to this - like a tape and reel sol

Image and video compression has become a field that is painfully hard to enter. State of the art is complex and exhaustive, the functionality of reference encoders and comments/versions among them is really a lot. We are well beyond wh

I applaud the effort of tinkering, re-creating and sharing, but I think the name is misleading - it is not at all a "local GPT". The contribution is not to do anything local and it is not a GPT model. It is more like an OpenClaw r

Oh... Having a local-only voice assistant would be great. Maybe someone can share the practical side of this. Do you have the GPU running all day at 200W to scan for wake words? Or is that running on the machine you are working on anyway? I

It is a new neat idea to selectively adjust focus distance for different regions of the scene! - processing: while there is no post processing, it needs scene depth information which requires pre computation, segmentation and depth estimati

It even requires depth information - While this methods has no post processing, it requires a pre processing step to pre-calture the scene, segment it, estimate depth an compute the depth map.
