Onvif is the keyword, if it’s supported it works with frigate. I think most of the industrial cams are not as locked down as you might think. They are infrastructure so vendors aren’t going to force customers to tear down their existing set

I got a lot of 6 Axis cameras from eBay, it was around $200. I think they took them off a school or something but they were in great shape. They look great and have no spyware etc because it’s an industrial company. I recommend getting some

A chicken farm has more biomass per square meter than just about anything else, but I wouldn’t advocate replacing the Mojave with a chicken farm. There is simply more to it than that.

And like cars, replacement ebike batteries are absurdly expensive. $500-600 for a few 18650 and a BMS. Part of it is that a battery pack is legitimately dangerous at that scale (so lots of testing/safety certifications etc). But those

If P successfully produces the relevant behaviors of O (burning, light, etc), then P is an implementation of O. There's no separate "real O" floating out there that P fails to capture. In other words, when you are playing the

If you're writing your own tests, sure, AI is fast at writing code that passes the tests. But if you write a comprehensive test suite for a problem, you've effectively done the hard development work to solve the problem in the fir

The counterpoint to this is that in order to motivate large groups of people to get stuff done, you need to be 'involved.' A good leader cannot be someone who says "we're above all of this" -- they have to be involv

You’re right and it’s actually wild how many people lack the ability to just deal with it. I think they do it because having a medicalized identity gives you a kind of framework or structure to lean on in social situations. You don’t need t
