I would hope that it would at last get you out of the hell that is “what the heck did I name that stupid light?”. Device naming is, in my opinion, the worst part of any of the voice based home assistant things. Is it “porch led”, “porch lig

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the activation word “special” in that it has to work in very low power states? I always assumed that is why the wake words are fixed, because said words need to “fit” within a very small power budget.

Knowing it’s own build information is something that could be trained into the model right? Seems like a good idea.

The worldcoin thing really bugs me too. Any time there is crypto, somebody is scamming somebody else. Worldcoin is no different in this regard.

To me the biggest threat is using AI to make decisions with no human recourse. Do you want ChatGPT to be the sole judge deciding if you can get a mortgage or what interest rate it should be? Do you want ChatGPT to auto-delete your YouTube v

Who gets to decide what constitutes a “bad actor”? Sounds an awful lot like “dangerous misinformation”. And based on the last three years “dangerous misinformation” quite often means “information that goes against my narrative” It’s a slipp

Make sure your splitter is rated for like 1.8ghz so you don’t dramatically attenuate your signal. Cheap splitters will probably cause trouble.

I can pull down a gig/sec no problem. Dunno how well it handles congestion or anything but it is way more than adequate for home use.

I think it just sits in the mutli-ghz bands. It shouldn’t conflict with cable, which uses lower frequency bands. You just gotta make sure to install a low pass filter at your demarcation point so you aren’t broadcasting your MoCA stuff beyo

True but if you don’t care about another power brick on both ends… it’s a quick, dirty, fast and effective way to bring wired Ethernet to every room with a cable jack.

MoCA really doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Everybody always thinks if WiFi repeaters, or Ethernet over power line but MoCA is much faster and more reliable than either of them! It’s perfect for apartments that have cabletv jacks in

Exactly. It requires a perfect match. No ambiguity. You need a more fuzzy search where you type in the concept and it gives you ideas of what to use. And if don’t even know the concept, well… ChatGPT?

Back then even light tree cover would sometimes trash the signal enough to lose position. While modern GPS can get a position fix pretty quick, a cold start on standalone units can still take a while before it discovers enough satellites. T

I remember that as well. All the major new sites were unusable because they were so slow and crashy. Slashdot had pictures and everything. What a wild time.

K5 was one of the few sites where I’d actually pay attention to the username of the poster. On sites like this one, it’s me writing to an anonymous, random person. I think this is because k5 had diaries. It build a community of people who k

Vanguard's website has always been a mess, to be honest. It's really hard to figure out how to do some basic stuff like transfer money. I figure their website is so bare bones because it reflects their low cost ETFs. They'd r

I haven't encountered a "pixel perfect" designer for at least 15 years now, if not more. Virtually every single UX designer I've worked with provides flexible designs that scale with screen size.

by spookthesunset 3y ago
One problem with two separate designs is deciding when to show one vs. the other. This gets especially tricky when people share links. Wikipedia, for example, has two different URL's: one for mobile and one for desktop. How often do yo

Not really a straight comparison. That one on alibaba has a 100 unit minimum. But yeah, for some extra money, the dudes on alibaba will slap your logo and print your packaging.

All the modems I see support bridge mode. When enabled the Comcast device doesn’t do any of the routing at all. Your own device gets to do that instead.

Wouldn’t the exploit code be able to bypass all those cross domain checks? As long as they are running in the same sandbox, right?

All you have to do is ask anybody who dared to question the narrative. I had several accounts banned for stating "misinformation" on what would later become fact. It is easy to dismiss everything you hear from folks like me if you

Well if they start hiring “non share packages employees” it kinda stops sounding like worker owned and more like owners and workers, eh? Seems to defeat the purpose of being worker owned. Maybe if you have a vesting period of something. But
