I get it, you enjoyed your HCI course. I did too.

What you need to understand is you can do this, but you can’t mislead investors into thinking your Mechanical Turk isn’t a man in a box. That is fraud.

I can’t stress enough: this is literally why Elizabeth Holmes is in jail right now.

It can just sleep(1);

I see it supports many cameras, but you need to pull them apart and use a serial hookup to flash the firmware… but for the wyze cams and a few others you can flash them directly with an SD card.

I liked how cheap the wyze cams were but desperately wanted to get them offline. This was my silver bullet.

Generally speaking (by theory subscription), moral evaluations of an action consider the state of the agent.

“Is this a good technology?” And “Is Sam Altman doing good?” Are two radically different questions with radically different answers.

For non cloud cams, someone posted here a while back about thingno firmware, takes cheap cams off the cloud. Works great on a wyze cam and was a gamechanger for me. Sttrroonngglllyyy recommend

It’ll only be available for the super rich, will expand to other augmentations/engineering, and will result in further reinforcing social mobility boundaries.

Ok, fair, but on the hierarchy of pill-providing Muppet doctors, Dr. Teeth is at the top.

I also heard it as a light jab at his age

I appreciate the sanity check, but just to throw a monkey wrench into your model…

I think the square-cube law will bite you here. I expect power/mass isn’t constant. Mass grows faster than cross-sectional area which is key in muscle performance.

I’m my professional experience working with both, Java shops don’t blindly enforce this, but c# shops tend to.

Striving for loosely coupled classes is objectively a good thing. Using dogmatic enforcement of interfaces even for single implementors is a sledgehammer to pound a finishing nail.

Whoever is demanding every class be an implementation of an interface started thier career in C#, guaranteed.

Kids certainly have the capacity.

Windows 3.1 had some BASIC games that you could run. A snake game and one where monkeys threw bananas at each other. It was a great “fuck around and find out” platform. I could write simple programs from scratch well before 10, learning entirely through experimentation.

“I’ve got one single nail. And another nail to nail it with. And I’m going to stop this infernal ice cream machine once and for all!”

And don’t call me Shirley.

Maybe im misunderstanding:

Are you saying that there necessarily exists for all not extinct species of social mammals a “common-sense-overriding mechanism”?

I’d also like to see the chart if it was actually representative of the rich. Populate the chart with individuals reporting >2.5 million in income per year.

I think that’s fair comparison.

The difference was that investment followed realizable value for PCs. Or cell phones. Or iPods. Or “the cloud”. The horse and carriage were in a sane order.

The internet itself might be an even better comparison, with VC dumping money into anything without an understanding of how to get a return.

If ANYONE had reproducible guidance on how to get positive value out of these systems… they’d be booming like NVIDIA. It’s another “during the gold rush, sell shovels” model.

Raises an eyebrow that we’re not seeing it.

I think these companies are sitting, waiting, and praying for an emergent use-case to reveal itself. They’re spending money to be prepared to corner a market that as-of-yet doesn’t exist.

A one dollar coin with a picture of a loon, eh?
