Good to see proliferation of presence detectors. Good for turning things off when nobody is around.
In my last job I got to play a bit with the SeeedStudio mmWave presence box. What was interesting (and a little confusing) was that it took multiple add-on boards for things like on-device fall detection (for elderly). For the time I had with it, it worked fine with HA: https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/mmwave_radar_Intro/
We have an annual contest to see who spots the first Xmas display. So far, the earliest has been mid-September.
Toss-up between, Costco, ACE Hardware, and Daiso.
My needle on my BS-meter just snapped off.
Somebody starts streaming VR porn on the same cell network. Latency drops to a second. Patient flatlines.
The future is here.
Organic high-voltage capacitors. Very common in Scandinavia.
On desktop, how many people search for an emoji, then just copy paste the character into their text?
Instead of switching to the alt keyboard, not that one, the other, no the emoji not the international one, dammit.
Or bringing up the keyboard menu, then scrolling around, looking for the right one, searching, no, scroll, scroll scroll, etc.
This is so strange.
There’s an AWS service called CodeArtifact (https://aws.amazon.com/codeartifact/) that’s literally designed to cache binary distributions so you don’t have to keep hitting origin repos.

The year is 2245. The heirs finally locate a working, antique reader that can handle the ancient USB key, hoping to find great-great-grandpa’s crypto-wallet or the pin-code to a long-lost Maltese bank account.
Instead, they find a 4-bit, VGA-quality scan of Miss October.
Haha. Thanks for checking. Given the C pre-processor, I’m sure there’s a way to maliciously bork it if someone sets their mind to it.
MSVC supports unicode. In C or C++, you could try:
#define ; ;
Second one is the greek semicolon but the client I’m using may strip it out. I’m too lazy to try.
Outstanding!
Watching it, my first thought was if it could also be used as s display for a large calculator? Guessing the computation part would require electronics, but then again, there used to be geared tabletop calculators.
Very nice work.
Inexpensive electric burr grinder. Grind a single serving and Aeropress it. Works a charm. No complaints.
Could rent that place to medical schools to teach their students how to treat twisted ankles.
Be fun to see the same M3Max with an ad and tracker blocker. See how much their top line improves.
Most products should validate their assumptions before they even start laying down designs, code, or hardware. If it’s super cutting edge (like this one) there is a temptation to question the feedback and get into ‘build it and they will come’ mode.
But most of the time, testing with real users and validating the revenue model is the prudent path. Hopium is not a currency.
You can tell it’s fake because the robot vacuum doesn’t get hopelessly stuck on the edge of the rug.
Someone should build a little AI app that scrapes a job listing, then takes a resume and rewrites it in subtle ways to perfectly match the job description.
Let your AI duke it out with their AI.
