- 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 words need to “fit” within a very small power budget.
- 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 should be? Do you want ChatGPT to auto-delete your YouTube video with zero recourse or appeal process?
- 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 means “information that goes against my narrative”
It’s a slippery slope letting private or even public entities define “bad actors” or “misinformation”. And it isn’t even a hypothetical… plenty of factually true information about covid got you labeled as a “bad actor” peddling “dangerous misinformation”.
Letting private entities whose platforms have huge influence on society decide what is “misinformation” coming from “bad actors” has proven to be a very scary proposition.
- 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 demarcation point so you aren’t broadcasting your MoCA stuff beyond your home.
You also have to use appropriate splitters that are rated for the top ends of the spectrum.
- 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 them!
It’s perfect for apartments that have cabletv jacks in every room. Just make sure you are using the appropriate wideband splitters and have a filter at the cable demarcation in your dwelling.
- 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 concept, well… ChatGPT?
- 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 still take a while before it discovers enough satellites.
The crazy thing to me is now days my little tiny watch can do Wifi, Several Bluetooth protocols, 5G, NFC, Wireless charging and probably some other stuff I'm forgetting about. Oh and it supports a variety of global navigation satellite systems. Don't forget the high-res OLED display too. And the fact it is fully watertight.
All that while having a fairly impressive battery life.
- 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 because k5 had diaries. It build a community of people who knew each other to some extent.
- 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 because it reflects their low cost ETFs. They'd rather have a crappy website and cheap ETF's than a fancy website with slightly higher cost ETFs.
- 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 with screen size.
- 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's: one for mobile and one for desktop. How often do you get links to the mobile version instead of the other?
And if you keep the URL the same but serve different output depending on the browser, then you get inconsistent behaviour between two different devices.
Nailing the UX for mobile and desktop is actually pretty damn hard.
- Also learned two spaces and our class was taught on some ancient 8088’s
- 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.
- How do you believe the results you are getting? What makes such a belief justified?
What is the nature of consciousness?
What are things beautiful? What makes something ascetically pleasing.
Why any of this exists at all?
What is the purpose of this existence?
Is something ethical? Science can provide answer about consequences of an action but cannot determine if said action is moral or ethical.
… science is not a book of facts. It is merely a process for testing a hypothesis. It is not a replacement for philosophy, it is underpinned by philosophy.
- 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?
- > people dying, or in many cases losing months of their lives to extreme fatigue, other health problems, the overloading of medical infrastructure causing many other problems, etc
Except none of these "experts" had any clue if their costly measures would work at all. And to this day you can't look at a chart and see a major difference between anywhere. Virus is gonna virus. You cannot control it.
Simply put, you were lied to. Break out of your echo chamber and listen to people calling you out. They are right, you are not.
There is more to life than a myopic focus on exactly one form of illness.
- > The fact that people are defending the spread of false information that contributed to people literally dying in favor of a hypothetical tyranny problem just leaves me feeling completely lost.
Except a lot of that "false information" turned out to be true. You don't get to decide what constitutes "misinformation".
> It caused them to spread diseases to other people and kill them.
This is absolutely not true at all.
- > COVID matters as we generally agree that during public health crisises it is reasonable for the government to overstep bounds a little to reduce loss of life.
Don't agree at all. Especially when the very same public health "experts" proved themselves entirely incompetent fools who don't understand their own data.
What these "experts" did was absolutely insane. It blows my mind so many people went along with it with nary a hint of intellectual curiosity and still to this day defend it.
- All you have to do is ask anybody who dared to question the narrative. I had several accounts banned for stating "misinformation" on what would later become fact.
It is easy to dismiss everything you hear from folks like me if you went right along with the government / media narrative. The actual truth is they lied their fucking heads off and worked tirelessly to suppress valid dissent by painting people who went against as alt-right grandma killing conspiracy kooks.
It will happen to you someday too. And you will never be able to let go of the deep sense of betrayal.
- I remember this too. IPX just worked for LAN games. Anything else never worked right.
Is it “porch led”, “porch light” or “outdoor light”? Or is “outdoor light” actually the one in the front yard? What is the one by my kids nightstand? And what routine name do I use to set the mood for watching a movie?
I would hope a properly trained llm with an awareness of my devices and their locations would allow for more verbal ambiguity when controlling things.
