I did something with my Bosch washing machine (not like the OP). My washing machine is at the other end of the house from my home office. Sometimes I would put a load of washing on…

I'm from Australia. You dont want to use us as an example of internet speeds or leading the world on anything in this space. Our internet infrastructure/speed etc is considered sub…

Excluding the part of how the access was gained (i.e. fault of end user etc) - I would have thought Stripe would have far better security measures in place for obvious signs of fra…

Yeah - me too - I dont have the time/tools to build these myself - but would happily pay for them as a product.

Yeah - I actually asked on the Discord if anyone was selling them pre-made - I would buy some if available. I dont have time/tools etc to do this.

Hey OP - if your thinking about a smart knob with haptic feedback etc - check this open source project out that you can build yourself - its amazing: https://github.com/scottbez1/s…

"They might not have "known", but come on, you're selling radiation-hardened chips to NASA. " But do people ever actually "invoice NASA" for components. It was probably one of 100 …

So does this mean if they allowed the game to run on "full moon days", it would be expected to eventually get a higher score (if the full moon day allowed that through the actual g…

So for ML to work, it has to know all permutations of a game? Does that mean ML is useless for non-deterministic games with random outcomes or procedural generation?

I'm not a machine learning person - so I'm confused about this. As someone who doesnt understand ML - I have always assumed the whole point of ML is to try different things in the …

I'm trying to find games for my kids that would have the same influence. Fortnite etc is all so popular - but I feel that Police Quest, Hero Quest etc are a big part of my logical …

What I find strange about this is you dont need it to be "deepfake". Just an inside job. If a large company allows a single employee to transfer millions to a new bank account/vend…

> I don't want music recommendations from something that can't appreciate or understand music. Human recommendations will always be better. I find Spotify's "discover weekly" list …

We laugh as IT experts. But think about it from the end user perspective. Literally the most simple instruction; near fault proof. On an airplane that is thousands of feet from rem…

When attempting to login to your Microsoft account, instead of typing your password you can do an optional "one time password" generation thing from Microsoft. So instead of typing…

Yeah - and what is crazy is when you think about it - Microsoft generates a 6 digit code. So it is a "one in a million" to randomly guess what the code is on any given login. But i…

Doesnt that just mean you need to validate the source of the video? If LTT says to stay way from a product on the LTT main youtube channel - that would seem valid? If the video was…

I mean - isnt that how all DR is essentially configured? You need it "somehow" connected to Prod depending on the failover, config, system etc. And in many of these complex systems…

I love my LG TVs. The problem is, for anyone who wants a smart TV, every brand is just as bad. Samsung, Sony etc. I know some people say "get a dumb TV" and use chromecast etc - bu…

I've been using the old v4 "standalone" edition for a long time. About a month ago I finally allowed myself to switch to the SaaS model on a 'family' plan. Its amazing, and more im…

I suppose the risk is people could 'game' the system. Person A finds the issue, reports it. Then Person A secretly tells Person B about it (with no apparent connection), and Person…

At the risk of been downvoted: you cant. It is impossible. Even if you had $30 billion, and your goal was to guarantee the distribution of only $1 to everyone, it still wouldnt occ…

Another article along those lines that I think was on HN previous is "Life Is Not Short" I found it quite eye opening: https://dkb.show/post/life-is-not-short
