    I would hope that it would at last get you out of the hell that is “what the heck did I name that stupid light?”. Device naming is, in my opinion, the worst part of any of the voic…

    Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the activation word “special” in that it has to work in very low power states? I always assumed that is why the wake words are fixed, because said…

    Knowing it’s own build information is something that could be trained into the model right? Seems like a good idea.

    The worldcoin thing really bugs me too. Any time there is crypto, somebody is scamming somebody else. Worldcoin is no different in this regard.

    To me the biggest threat is using AI to make decisions with no human recourse. Do you want ChatGPT to be the sole judge deciding if you can get a mortgage or what interest rate it …

    Who gets to decide what constitutes a “bad actor”? Sounds an awful lot like “dangerous misinformation”. And based on the last three years “dangerous misinformation” quite often mea…

    Make sure your splitter is rated for like 1.8ghz so you don’t dramatically attenuate your signal. Cheap splitters will probably cause trouble.

    I can pull down a gig/sec no problem. Dunno how well it handles congestion or anything but it is way more than adequate for home use.

    I think it just sits in the mutli-ghz bands. It shouldn’t conflict with cable, which uses lower frequency bands. You just gotta make sure to install a low pass filter at your demar…

    True but if you don’t care about another power brick on both ends… it’s a quick, dirty, fast and effective way to bring wired Ethernet to every room with a cable jack.

    MoCA really doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Everybody always thinks if WiFi repeaters, or Ethernet over power line but MoCA is much faster and more reliable than either of t…

    Exactly. It requires a perfect match. No ambiguity. You need a more fuzzy search where you type in the concept and it gives you ideas of what to use. And if don’t even know the con…

    Back then even light tree cover would sometimes trash the signal enough to lose position. While modern GPS can get a position fix pretty quick, a cold start on standalone units can…

    I remember that as well. All the major new sites were unusable because they were so slow and crashy. Slashdot had pictures and everything. What a wild time.

    K5 was one of the few sites where I’d actually pay attention to the username of the poster. On sites like this one, it’s me writing to an anonymous, random person. I think this is …

    Vanguard's website has always been a mess, to be honest. It's really hard to figure out how to do some basic stuff like transfer money. I figure their website is so bare bones beca…

    I haven't encountered a "pixel perfect" designer for at least 15 years now, if not more. Virtually every single UX designer I've worked with provides flexible designs that scale wi…

    One problem with two separate designs is deciding when to show one vs. the other. This gets especially tricky when people share links. Wikipedia, for example, has two different URL…

    Not really a straight comparison. That one on alibaba has a 100 unit minimum. But yeah, for some extra money, the dudes on alibaba will slap your logo and print your packaging.

    All the modems I see support bridge mode. When enabled the Comcast device doesn’t do any of the routing at all. Your own device gets to do that instead.

    Wouldn’t the exploit code be able to bypass all those cross domain checks? As long as they are running in the same sandbox, right?
