That would be pretty hard to do with any level of accuracy or external calibration/input.

Of course there is more to life than money, but people still need some base amount of money to live safely, especially if you have a family. If you are working in SV then your "big" salary does not go very far, I know lots of deve

Post some links to companies hiring at similar compensation levels. Or, are you suggesting that every Meta employee is in a position to just like off of any random job they can find, or even no income at all while they go off "on their

There are too many technical inaccuracies in this to take it serious (or to try and address them all here). Directionally it is fairly accurate, but the author clearly has very little knowledge of surveillance cameras, their capabilities, o

Not only was it built around AC, the technology at the time only allowed for roughly 1/2 the AC cycles rate. People think there was some great reasoning behind 30fps. It was just what was available, essentially.

These calculations often fail to account for present vs future value of money. If you’re financing the system you have no big cash outlay, but returns are further out, possibly never when accounting for the useful like of the system. With c

The issue is that these mesh protocols quickly break down under any real loads. Setting up a few mesh nodes, running some tests, and thinking you have a kit that is usable in an emergency is like so many other "disaster recovery"

I ran some Meshtastic nodes for a while, same overall experience. Rarely saw nearby nodes, never communicated anything more than a basic "HELLO"/"ACK" kind of thing. It's a neat idea for things like a distribut

We clearly have differing opinions on what constitutes a decent jet. Are you buying your jets used ??

The meshcore software, and the common hardware being used, are both comically weak for anything that approaches usage at scale, especially in an emergency situation. The range is extremely limited, and the throughput gets really bad if your

That is why I just filter ND emails to spam. Those patterns just reaffirm I don’t want the kind of content they offer.

That is clearly not the mistake, there are images of it in blue, red, and yellow. I've also seen a couple of different styles of wheels. The design looks bad (for a Ferrari) in every iteration. The overwhelming feedback on public discu

Skimming through his posts he was also “back” to writing in 2023. Looks like he wrote 2 things then. Maybe he’ll do a longer run this time, maybe a good half dozen posts before another 3 year break?

I repaired some of the early 700’s at IBM when they were still mostly in the hands of upper execs and no official repair manuals had been released. I’d get random unit showing up at our Madison Heights, MI repair depot addressed to me from

This isn't really just an Apple mentality though. I have all kinds of old electronics and devices from Google, Samsung, Intel, WD, etc. that all fit this exact same description. If you've ever tried to run a hardware business (or

This is such a stupidly needed thing. Nice work!

Thanks for clearing that up. Hopefully you can come back and post when you really do die so that we have an authoritative source.

There is no real use case, IMO. I setup a few nodes a couple of months ago. It's mostly no activity, punctuated by some random "can you read me" type messages, and for some unknown reason people who think there is something i

Many upper level managers seem to be blind to the fact that the kind of person who can actually excel as a "do it all" is most likely not the kind of person that wants to work in that kind of environment. Those people will do a ye

Most sensors can be implemented in a way that enables self-calibration. I'm oversimplifying it here, but the macro process is taking some known attributes and mapping them to what you are observing. For example, if you can detect peopl

That has been a global problem, lots of it in the US as well. I tend to only buy honey from known local producers, either at specialty stores or street markets.

I've played with MeshCore and Meshtastic a bit, and while they are fun, the general hype seems overblown. The "SHTF" types that get involved with this tend to just taint the whole concept for me. I was/am interested in t

Yes, I'm aware how inflation works, you missed my point. Many technology things have effectively gotten cheaper over time, when you account for overall performance/specs/capabilities/etc. The "we don't know ho
