Every time I see a comment on the state of Tahoe I look wearily at my current install of Sequoia. I'll have to update at some point. But I'll hold out as long as I can...

I liked the film.
DrawTR | 2 months ago | on: How uv got so fast
Editing the post to switch five "it's X not Y"s[1] is pretty disappointing. I wish people were more clear with their disclosure of LLM editing.

DrawTR | 3 months ago | on: Precise geolocation via Wi-Fi Positioning System
I see, thanks. I've definitely seen instances where an AP is broadcasting multiple SSIDs with different BSSIDs. I suppose I just thought nothing of it... but that makes sense.
DrawTR | 3 months ago | on: Precise geolocation via Wi-Fi Positioning System
Do most consumer APs/routers allow you to just change the MAC address on the fly? I don't think the ones I've owned have ever allowed that. But that would certainly be interesting to try (if you were somewhere without any other address interference that would tip it off)
DrawTR | 3 months ago | on: Precise geolocation via Wi-Fi Positioning System
The SSID (name, like the article mentions) is different than the bSSID (mac address of the access point), so I don't think it would be that easy to spoof.

I've wanted to make a project w/ a receipt printer for a little bit now. Does anyone have any good suggestions for printer models?

I don't like the baseless LLM accusations, but the code comment
> // Device wants updates! Store that push token like it's bitcoin in 2010
...really had me raising my eyebrows. Along with the mixed em-dash and hyphens and the AI generated images on the page.

I sure hope a few wipes with a paper towel is not good enough for most people who get feces on their hands

don't people typically say to let thoughts pass by when you're doing meditation? seems like bitter medicine to disallow yourself any fleeting thought
DrawTR | 11 months ago | on: The booming, high-stakes arms race of airline safety videos
Wow, that video is way over the top. It's almost creepy that, as the in-video flight attendant is explaining the safety of the seat buckle, the camera is actively panning away from her to focus on the motion of the ball

yup. it basically becomes a ulysses pact with myself to attempt to make it so i can't just undo the restrictions i set up. what good are the blocking attempts if you can disable them when you get bored? you have to set them up with the intention and foresight that you will try to disable them
DrawTR | 1 year ago | on: Forgejo: A self-hosted lightweight software forge
can anyone share what the benefit is over using a self hosted repository host over a service like github/gitlab? obviously you get more power over the interface & such but are there truly any gains over using the larger platforms?

For what it's worth, the product demands $50 for what is essentially a < $1.00 3D printed case and a < $1.00 NFC tag. You could probably (not endorsing it!) find the NFC code online and just dump it to a tag of your own.

ahaha. this is so good. they're just so earnest about every bit of praise
DrawTR | 1 year ago | on: But what is a GPT? Visual intro to Transformers [video]
There's no need for the snark there. I mean 'potential danger' as in the LLM outputting anything inconsistent with reality. That can be as simple as an arithmetic issue.
DrawTR | 1 year ago | on: But what is a GPT? Visual intro to Transformers [video]
Can this be potentially dangerous -- e.g. if a user types "The answer to the expression 2 + 2 is", isn't there a chance it chooses an output beyond the most likely one?
DrawTR | 2 years ago | on: Show HN: A platform for remote piano lessons based on the Web MIDI API
Are the demo videos supposed to show the MIDI piano lighting up at the same time as the video performance? Not seeing that on my side if so
