New comment by AlphaWeaver in "BYOMesh – New LoRa mesh radio offers 100x the bandwidth"

AlphaWeaver — Sun, 03 May 2026 19:30:27 +0000

The "100x bandwidth" claim needs to be substantiated.

There are some significant regulatory issues with the current popular mesh network protocols in the USA, namely that neither MeshCore or Meshtastic are compliant with the actual FCC regulations. 100x bandwidth because you're breaking the rules isn't the same as 100x bandwidth legally.

Here is the issue discussing this in the MeshCore repository: https://github.com/meshcore-dev/MeshCore/issues/945

If projects like this and DynamicLand interest you, it's worth checking out https://folk.computer/ - they've been working on this much more recently than DynamicLand and share their code as open source.

Do you think there's a path where you can pregenerate popular paths of dialogue to avoid LLM inference costs for every player? And possibly pair it with a lightweight local LLM to slightly adapt the responses? While still shelling out to a larger model when users go "off the rails"?

Yep, SAR stands for "specific absorption rate". These sensors are typically used to change how the antennas on the phone transmit (like how much power they use) by detecting whether the phone is held close to your body vs. sitting somewhere like on a table.

Most phones have them.

Is it a product though? So far they've just released all their code as open source (which Dynamicland did not do) and helped people set up their own Folk systems in other cities. I don't think they're selling anything.

New comment by AlphaWeaver in "AtomVM, the Erlang virtual machine for IoT devices"

AlphaWeaver — Sat, 31 May 2025 14:12:05 +0000

Erlang's use in the telecom sphere has primarily been focused on switching, routing, and real time voice processing on the backend. Beyond just handling cellular traffic, many internet switches are written in Erlang too. It's only recently that Erlang has been used for more of the type of code that could run on the frontend. (The niceness of writing Elixir is a big part of that too.)

The primary blocker to running Erlang on mobile has been the lack of portability of the BEAM VM itself, which is why this project is so exciting!

New comment by AlphaWeaver in "Membrane: Media Framework for Elixir"

AlphaWeaver — Tue, 13 May 2025 19:06:04 +0000

I looked at using this for a client project a few months ago. We use Erlang and Elixir at work, and it's my go-to for anything serious.

Be aware that parts of their stack use a custom license for some components... but a large portion of it is OSS Apache 2.0, which is nice if you can stick to those parts!

New comment by AlphaWeaver in "Browsercraft: Java Minecraft in the browser"

AlphaWeaver — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 21:39:57 +0000

Another comment mentions MinecraftForFree.com...

In middle school, in an attempt to get around the school firewall, I copied the HTML code from that website to my own to play Minecraft at school. Since my domain wasn't on the blocklist, it worked! But when my friends started using it to play, even after they hadn't bought the game, I resolved to add a login wall.

I built a backend proxy in PHP that would POST their credentials to the Minecraft API to make sure they had purchased the game. I still think it's funny to think I had no ethical qualms about circumventing the school firewall, but piracy was where I drew the line.
