Will be interesting to see how Google implements a more open DSP wake-word detection. The requirement for it to work without the app holding a default role suggests needing to reco…

Thanks, beat it following your plan. Very cute that at times the game punishes the player for being too productive with tractors.

So far have not made it to phase 3. Despite improving production (more tools! more assistants!) and bonus tractors (work harder! heroic labor brigade!) it's not enough to make up f…

Great seeing where Speech with Sam and, more generally, you ended up.

In Stratton Oakmont v. Prodigy, Prodigy ran a message board and would have escaped liability for defamation by a third-party save one problem: they exercised editorial control by m…

Appreciate you sharing that. Agree with the overall concern with children using tech and I'd start with banning smartphones in school classrooms. Two observations: Why stop with im…

There's some logic to wanting to assign responsibility for other's actions upon those who enable it. Like you say, to incentivize intermediates to police their users and those they…

If you want to pull another cable: - secure a string to the old cable - pull the cable out the other end, pulling the string through - secure the string to the new cable - pull the…

The picture in the article shows what looks like keypoint matching (ie, SIFT, SURF, FAST) between the query picture and the database. This can give an exact location if a picture o…

A while back I looked at matching pursuit. At first it seemed very complicated, but after staring at it a bit realized it's simple. - Start with a list of basis functions and your …

Buildings as walls and using spawn points to jump through terrain are fun mechanics in WC2.

Addressing comments on hearing aid technology: Often people who lose their hearing want to be able to hear in social situations such as restaurants and family gatherings. In this c…

Hearing in noise is both what most people want from hearing aids and what they are least equipped to provide. The traditional solution is an FM system where you give the person spe…

I read it as: Dan is a moderator on a forum and his goal is to maintain a level of civil discourse rather than an aggressive style of communication. It's a very specific definition…

If talking about UI, the flip side is not to harm the user's data. So despite containing errors it needs to representable, even if it can't be passed further along to back-end syst…

Two that come to mind: 1) Embedded systems typically do not allow data to grow without bound. If they were going to keep debugging data, they'd have to limit it to the last N insta…

Yes, 100%. State transitions are "goto" by another name. State machines have their place but tend to be write-only (hard to read and modify) so are ideally small and few. Worked at…

My favorite trick in C is a light-weight Protothreads implemented in-place without dependencies. Looks something like this for a hypothetical blinky coroutine: typedef struct blink…

Humans are also created/derived from other works, trained, and used as a tool by humans. It's interesting how polarizing the comparison of human and machine learning can be.

I would assume EasyTier devs use it to connect their devices within China so the great firewall isn't involved. Attempts to cross the firewall with EasyTier are detectable without …

Agreed: caution is advisable. At the same time shaping perception is key. Authorities may push a narrative that affords them greater control. If that's not the world you want, the …

The effective number of bits (ENOB) is only ~8.7. Originally designed to have an ENOB of 9+ bits, but silicon bugs lowered it. There is also some noise from the Pi Pico power suppl…

Done for effect: it felt to the OP as if it was the present so the writing conveys that, while elsewhere making it clear the arrest was not the present.

On Youtube I really like the auto-generated captions and often prefer them to the creator's because: - Sometimes the creator bases their captions on the script and misses changes i…

If bufferbloat is increased latency caused by excessive use of increasingly available RAM, then turbobloat is increased latency caused by excessive use of increasingly available CP…
