The biggest problem I always have with elevators is not the algorithm, it's the people seemingly being unable to grasp the concept of pressing either the up or the down request but…

Some companies only get to a "hello world" level with a new kind of tech via a 50k per head training. The organizations are setup in a way that people can't experiment or learn by …

The Fastmail client is good when it's up and running, but not as good as well-implemented native apps. The initial startup is much slower, and the iOS / iPadOS app (which is the sa…

The calibration is a 10 minute drive on any marked road though, not the precise positioned target stuff that others use.

Do I understand the voting / results wrong? Looking at this: https://howtheyvote.eu/votes/189270 The measure voted on is "Extension [of Chat Control 1.0]", it was voted 36% "for" a…

It's already called "Extension of the temporary derogation from the ePrivacy Directive to combat online child sexual abuse".

German MEPs voted overwhelmingly against the extension: https://howtheyvote.eu/votes/189270 ("Countries" tab).

Apparently you get unlimited data capped at 500 kbit/s. So that would be a clear "yes".

I don't have a specific source, no. I think it was mentioned in one of their presentation a few years back, that they use various techniques for "ground truth" for vision training,…

That's exactly what Tesla is doing with their validation vehicles, the ones with Lidar towers on top. They establish the "ground truth" from Lidar and use that to train and/or test…

They've acknowledged an issue now on the status page. For me at least, it's completely down, package installation straight up doesn't work. Thankfully current work project uses a p…

I realize that if the authorities target me specifically, there's not much I can do. Even though I am not in the States and do not expect my local police to be quite as... forceful…

Absolutely, I will be running PoE wherever possible, definitely for the doorbell. Not just because of Amazon drivers, I've read reports of burglars using WiFi jammers to make sure …

Yeah, this is my idea as well. Good to know that the Reolink app still works locally and via Wireguard, that means I'll have less UI to set up in HomeAssistant.

Initially I believe so, but they can then be isolated via VLAN / firewall rules and cut off from internet access.

And this is why my setup will be using Reolink cameras integrated locally via HomeAssistant and Frigate. Detection runs locally on cameras and/or in Frigate, HA manages events and …

I use NetNewsWire as a frontend, and self-hosted FreshRSS as backend for sync and feed management. Works a treat across multiple devices, Mac/iOS/iPadOS and web.

There is a bunch of videos on Youtube on Zipline, some of them from the company itself (this one showing specifically the "platform": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=airEzThGlx8 ),…

Zipline drones fly quite high, and instead of descending and landing to deliver their payload, they hover at altitude and lower a "delivery pod" down on a wire. The pod also has ma…

RTO may work as long as your teams are geographically co-located and return to the same office. In my experience, a lot of teams in recent years have been staffed without this aspe…

This is a thing I've been constantly bringing up with our company. I _do_ think that local collaboration in the office is vastly more effective than remotely, _but_ only given that…

Pretty nice. How does it handle multiple displays? I've set it up with local Ollama, and it seems to only record and analyze one of my two secondary displays. It would be ideal if …

Yes, and the XS was the follow-up to the previous X and thus also the "Pro" model, before they were explicitly named as such. So my move that year was indeed a downgrade. Now I'm k…

I never liked titanium very much, but it's better than aluminum for sure. Now back when they did stainless, that I thought was awesome and looked and felt way more premium.

I get a new iPhone as a work phone bi-yearly, and get to pick the model, with co-pay for anything above the most basic one (currently 16E). In a month or so, it'll be that time aga…
