How do these plugins handle file/network/USB IO? Will this support the wasm proposals for those, or do you need it implement them yourself in the host?

Looks pretty good to me! Browsers often like to hammer the SD card, if you set the XDG environment variables you can redirect their nonsense to a ram disk and not wear out the flash. There's also a bunch of semi documented flags for ra

An experimental mesh network protocol, that is still very much pre alpha and missing some features. The big thing I wanted to try is automatic global routing via MQTT. Everything is globally routable. You can roam around between gateway no

I start with the standards. What file types and protocols and external tools do I want to support? How do I make Git and SyncThing understand my files? How do I build this on an unmodified system with unmodified popular and trusted librari

That is pretty much what I do, although my "thin generic program" is still very beta. I follow the narrow waist principle, and basically have all communication in the form of setting and subscribing to "tag points", plus

I have spent over ten years (Mostly a few hours a week or less, it's pretty much done except when I want a new feature) developing a haunted house and room escape tech stack... It's mostly the same as general home automation, exce

They're pretty much just upscaling and interpolating right? They can't fill in anything that's not actually there, like you could with a model that understands "Hey this tree is a actually just a PS2 era low poly model,

I wonder if they'll ever start doing the graphics with AI. Could you render the scene in the simplest most efficient way possible, then train a special model that takes that picture, along with the coordinates of lights, depth maps, te

I wonder if people will start getting into ham radio for the same reason?

This seems like one of the most interesting P2P projects out there. It seems like it could be a really nice backend sync engine for offline first apps, aside from the lack of official support for Android.

Programmatically manipulating it and validating it gets harder though.

The Lourdes vs Lourdes issue could be partially solved by adding some context when searching. Show the population and average number of other people going there, or a few pictures of the area, or even just have an LLM review what you'r

For entertainment related stuff where you want really deep themability, a lot of popular frameworks seem to rely too much on non semantic classes that make it hard.

Maybe it's beneficial from a human factors perspective to have one font for printouts and screens?

Atkinson Hyperlegible is very specifically designed for visual accessibility, and it's what I use in my automation app, both for accessibility and on the assumption that it's probably also a good general purpose high reliability f

How would the novelty versions have been powered? Would they have been running on batteries using a mechanical buzzer type relay to drive an induction coil?

I think what we actually need is a new standard for light bulbs with modular separate driver electronics, smart controls, and the actual LEDs. Low voltage would mean a whole bunch of extra cables and connectors and single points of failure

Wow, if this is as good as it looks, I suspect I'll be using it quite a bit in the future, especially once it gets a brush engine!

Yes but each stack layer has to remove the waste heat from the inefficiency of all the previous layers, so usually you see them laid out in a pyramid

It seems like the "Photo and offsets" approach is pretty commonly used, and I can't personally say I have any complaints, even though the CLI enjoyers might disagree. Maybe it could be paired with a basic image generator for

I'd have a hard time imagining gas pumps using just an AVR, because they have some pretty large LCD screens and fancy cryptography for tap to pay. And I'd imagine anything that big and expensive would use Ethernet or something, ra

This is really cool! I especially love the ability to flip and reverse things, since I try to avoid comparing any two objects in different orientations, to cut down on mistakes. It would be really cool if the community had a more general pu

Everyone has an individual level of random line noise. There's a whole field of human factors engineering that seems to agree "just being careful" is not a reasonable strategy by itself. I have one brain, and the world contai

It seems a bit similar to https://omnitools.app/ , would it be best to consolidate some of this work?

In a perfect world this stuff would all be standardized and modular, with documented replacement parts. Nearly all random consumer items could be done with about 15 different PCBs, total, with a dollar or two of extra cost from unused featu

Is HA ready for non-hobbyists yet? It always seems like you need $100+ dollars of hardware to run it well, not just a pi and an SD card. It seems like it's a lot better now, but until recently it didn't seem like it was anywhere

Wow, I'd love to add this to my control app for escape rooms, if those Wago controllers were a bit more affordable!
