Qualcomm still sucks, but there’s not much Qualcomm in this.

Robotic pick and place board assembly means through-hole components are going the way of the dodo. Sorry. Adafruit sells breakout boards for various SMT packages so that with a lit…

No, it’s not just QWIC connectors. It is just the time-honored maker tradition of finding a cool IC and building a dev board around it for the hobbyist. There’s a i2c multiplexer c…

for lack of frequency tuning

“Moving the goalposts” is a useless criticism. Do I need to pick now a single, definitive goalpost where the massive redirection of resources will have become worth it? Or can I ju…

BEEP BEEP MOTHERFUCKER!

Very interesting technology. Would be exciting to see a hardware startup build a product around this.

Where do you even start finding sources for all this?

Very cool product! And to think, in one of the many prior gaussian splatting threads someone declared there was no way anyone could build a business around the technique.

But seriously, why is it such an impossibility to get an iced coffee over there. You have affogato! You can take a caffe americano and pour it over ice!

Who’s pumping all this gaussian splatting content onto hn, and why?

Of course it’s Slav, and of course he’s Polish, but he draws from Slavic folklore.

Maybe the author, being Czech, wanted to look beyond the quintessential Slavic contribution to the genre. It’s the only explanation I can think of. The idea that monsters can be un…

Maybe just don’t worry yourself with anecdata.

Maybe your equation. Not theirs.

What’s Palantir’s angle on this? If that’s what it take to draw attention to enshittification then, as the meme says, let them fight.

Public trials.

The DOD terms are RADHAZ and HERP (Hazards of EM Radiation to Personnel.) There is plenty of literature out there on what frequencies turn you into a microwave oven for cooking you…

Out of curiosity, where do you shop instead? Around me the prices are better than any other stores except Aldi.

And let go of Costco regret.

Then why keep signing up? You clearly don’t need the bulk quantities, so why put up with that inconvenience? To justify the subscription I made the commitment to buy all my necessi…
