Glad someone corrected this pet peeve

Because ‘judgement’ is an inherently grounded ability, something LLMs cannot exercise, fundamentally, only mimic or approximate with heuristics. Sorry but obvious is obvious.

Individual photos could be transferred. And most of their recent SOCs can do on-device image interpretation. That’s how their Photos app captions and labels pictures. It’d probably work OK for large objects even at low fidelity So I think that’s possible.

Still not really sure how they would capture video. At nearly any resolution it would heavily tax the grain of rice size battery, on top of the processing power needed for encoding a video stream, and that’s assuming their new chip includes P2P WiFi capability to solve the bandwidth issue.

What I expected they might try was passive spatial mesh construction using either SLAM or LiDAR to integrate with their spatial computing and accessibility or indoor navigation. But if all it’s doing is describing what can be captured in a photo, that sounds plausible.

I use LTO4 tapes.

• Bare LC drive eBay $~60. Pulled from a library so I had to switch the operation mode. Missing the bay door and kinda dinged up but worked.
• Celerity FC81en HBA card was $~30.
• 1.6TB tapes sold in packs of 5 around $11/tape. Probably can do better than that at higher volume.

Overall take: slow noisy writes but viable for cheap stable long-term storage.

Note: for each of the components above I set price alerts and waited. If in a hurry, maybe skip tape storage lol

He never uses /s and I’ve seen him eat way more downvotes than this. But yes, he’s playing on a Robert A Heinlein quote.

Good riddance. Let’s get some progressives in there.

Maybe BS, but I’d wager only partly true, because the kind of sensors needed for basic local environment awareness aren’t “cameras” in the usual sense even if the have an array of photoreceptors like a camera uses. It might be better described as a higher resolution version of the IR light detectors currently used.

Regardless, given a few undeniable technical realities, like ridiculously tiny batteries and the bandwidth requirements of video vs available BT throughput, there is 0% chance of these earbuds becoming pervglasses-like surveillance wear.

Reactionaries and sourgrapists don’t give a rats ass about truth, however, so prepare for sensationalist headlines no matter what.

I’m going to assume you mean the ballista-like Roman siege engine not the whitefox defense aerial detection system

For specificity, and to be fair to small-fry private cloud vendors, there’s nothing inherently scammy about offering remote IT infrastructure for rent.

TMK, while ammunition is somewhat regulated already, it’s even easier to manufacture with minimal resources. Hobbyists have been manufacturing ammunition for a very long time. In the short term, those manufacturers would fill in the demand gap left by factory ammo.

It would certainly make ammunition more expensive, and thus potentially curb unnecessary use, but a lot of that unnecessary use is a big predictor WRT safe use, so I’m not entirely sure the net effect would be positive in the long term either.

I kid — I’m sure you get why nerdy control freaks wire these things up to HA and whatever

Yes, and even the less honest contributor would need to manually review and modify most generated blocks to pass a sniff test. The same has always been true of “found” source code.

That is, even contributors who read the policy as “don’t get caught” still have to meet the same de facto standards, which to a maintainer is a satisfactory result.

Example: I block illegal websites on my network, not because I care whether my roommates or their friends access illegal websites, but to require they practice proper hygiene (i.e., they need a VPN and encrypted DNS to circumvent) so we don’t amass love letters from our ISP.

Projects that don’t prohibit LLM-generated code expose themselves to greater liabilities than mere low-quality contributions.

I got the cheapest timer-based one I could find ($18) and spliced the 5v motor wires with a Shelly switch (flashed for local-only matter).

I settled on this solution after 3 prior attempts with more expensive feeders because none of them let me control portions and regularity adequately, which ultimately comes down to “cycle hopper motor N seconds at T₁, T₂, … , T_K for K meals/day.”

That’s been doing its job for nearly two years, cat’s weight stabilized, and his feast/famine eating behaviors disappeared, so I couldn’t recommend anything more complex than that.

Fair enough, though I’m not sure personal and psychological analysis of your life is something AI should ever be entrusted with.
