<p>AirTags have always been "meh" about "finding" anything in motion. And by that I mean the up close "locate this device". I ASSUME it has to do with the fact that its trying to create a multiple point triangulation using only a single device (eg the phone you are on).<p>Even an airtag moving a little bit, will give you warnings in find my.</p>

<p>The better solution is the route that Insta360 took with the Go Ultra. The camera has embedded "Find My" technology. No Airtag or hiding things required, the entire camera <i>is</i> the tag.<p>All we need to do is get more camera companies to follow suit.</p>

<p>AI in health - makes sense.<p>OpenAI in health - I'm reticent.<p>As someone who pays for ChatGPT and Claude, and uses them EVERYDAY... I still am not sure how I feel about these consumer apps having access to all my health data. OpenAI doesn't have the best track record of data safety.<p>Sure OpenAI business side has SOC2/ISO27001/HIPAA compliance, but does the consumer side? In the past their certifications have been very clearly "this is only for the business platform". And yes, I know regular consumer don't know what SOC2 is other than a pair of socks that made it out of the dryer.... but still. It's a little scary when getting into very personal/private health data.<p>Gattaca is supposed to be a warning, not a prediction. Then again neither was Idiocracy, yet here we are.</p>

<p>Unfortunately I don't think that's a good solution. Memories are an excellent feature and you see them on.... most similar services now.<p>Yes, projects have their uses. But as an example - I do python across many projects and non-projects alike. I don't want to want to need to tell ChatGPT exactly how I like my python each and everytime, or with each project. If it was just one or two items like that, fine, I can update its custom instruction personalization. But there are tons of nuances.<p>The system knowing who I am, what I do for work, what I like, what I don't like, what I'm working on, what I'm interested in... makes it vastly more useful. When I randomly ask ChatGPT "Hey, could I automate this sprinkler" it knows I use home assistant, I've done XYZ projects, I prefer python, I like DIY projects to a certain extent but am willing to buy in which case be prosumer. Etc. Etc. It's more like a real human assistant, than a dumb-bot.</p>

<p>Its unfortunate the way modern politics has gone. I see this site and am immediately suspicious. What bullshit is there? What ulterior motive should I be concerned about?<p>Rather than reading it, assuming it was fact based science. Maybe not the best because governments never get things 100%.... but at least able to trust it. Now specifically because this is RFK's MAHA world, I assume everything on this site is a lie.<p>After reading through it I don't see anything terrible or stupidly over the top. Yes, more proteins and vegetables good, less heavily processed foods.</p>

<p>Too much of anything sucks. Too big of a monolith? Sucks. Too many microservices? Sucks. Getting the right balance is HARD.<p>Plus, it's ALWAYS easier/better to run v2 of something when you completely re-write v1 from scratch. The article could have just as easily been "Why Segment moved from 100 microservices to 5" or "Why Segment rewrote every microservice". The benefits of hindsight and real-world data shouldn't be undersold.<p>At the end of the day, write something, get it out there. Make decisions, accept some of them will be wrong. Be willing to correct for those mistakes or at least accept they will be a pain for a while.<p>In short: No matter what you do the first time around... it's wrong.</p>

<p>Probably a lot of overlap in the venn diagram of people who would like the two 
things. Mostly the "Early Adopter" circle.<p>Also a lot of cars have a lot of limitations with comma.ai. Yes, you can install it on all sorts but there are limitations like: above 32mph, cannot resume from stop, cannot take tight corners, cannot do stop light detection, requires additional car upgrades/features, only known to support model year 2021.  Etc.<p>Rivian supports everything, it has a customer base who LOVE technology, are willing to try new things, and ... have disposable income for a $1k extra gadget.</p>

<p>I would wager that's because there isn't a lot of existing silicon that fits the bill. What COTS equipment is there that has all the CPU/Tensor horsepower these systems need... AND is reasonably power efficient AND is rated for a vehicle (wild temp extremes like -20F to 150F+, constant vibration, slams and impacts... and will keep working for 15 years).<p>Yea, Tesla has some. But they aren't sharing their secret sauce. You can't just throw a desktop computer in a car and expect it to survive for the duration. Ford et all aren't anywhere close to having "premium silicon".<p>So you're only option right now is to build your own. And hope maybe that you can sell/license your designs to others later and make bucks.</p>

<p>Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillators (TCXOs) is what they should be looking for. And to be clear you can get SX1262 variants with such, eg: <a href="https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/wio_sx1262/" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/wio_sx1262/</a><p>For the detailed run down, see <a href="https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/f/f/b/4/2/SX1262_AN-Recommendations_for_Best_Performance.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/f/f/b/4/2/SX1262_AN-Recommen...</a> page 14<p>> In the case of an SX1262 operating at +22 dBm in the US 902 – 928 MHz band, the frequency drift measured during the maximum LoRAWAN™ packet duration stays below the maximum limit, provided thermal insulation is implemented around the crystal during PCB design.<p>> At extreme temperatures (below -20 °C and above 70 °C), it is recommended to use a TCXO.<p>> For any other frequency bands corresponding to longer RF packet transmissions at +22 dBm, it is recommended to use a TCXO.</p>

<p>> Another fun one, while I'm here. C. 2010, we're shooting a music video in central Melbourne. We're on the public pavement. There's a bank ATM waaaay in the background. Bank security come out. Sorry mate, you can't film here.<p>> We told them, we can. We're on public land. So they call the cops. We politely wait for the cops. The cops turn up.<p>Heh. As a photog I've have plenty of similar run ins with people...but only when wielding an SLR (or similar). Was once standing on a sidewalk, saw a building that looked cool, took a picture. I'm more into architecture than people. Security comes out from the lobby to accost me. I very politely told them "Dude, I'm on the sidewalk, you can't do shit"<p>I also had the local transit agency threaten to call the cops on me for taking photos. Literally of just the platform and rails (without people) when I was trying to document the system for Wikipedia. Even though on their website it EXPLICITLY states that what I was doing was within their rules. Ignoring the fact that it was totally legal regardless.<p>That time I just (metaphorically) ran away rather than dealing with a belligerent station agent. Was what I was doing wrong? No. Was it legal? Yes. But did I want to deal with the transit police? Nope.<p>The thing that drives me batshit nuts is no one seems to care if you're taking a picture with a phone. The latest iPhone have megapixel counts in excess of many DSLR and mirrorless cameras. I can be <i>way</i> more sneaky with my phone. By using a DSLR type camera I'm being very public that "Hey, I'm taking a picture here" that should assure people, rather than scare them.</p>

<p>I've run into the "falsely marked as delivered" thing a few times (at home, wfh). Last time I called and threw a shit fit and the rep gave me the usual run around about "how you must have simply missed the delivery" or "maybe you didn't hear the doorbell" or whatever BS. I basically said "Look, I've got a security camera on my front door. I've pulled the video at the timestamp saying I'm not home. The truck isn't even on my street, let alone at my door. What's your email address and I'll send it to you?"<p>They always demure saying it isn't necessary, they can't accept it, yada yada. And somehow always insist that they can't get ahold of the local distro manager, and just to wait until tomorrow (in this case this was "Attempt" 2 of 3, both of which were a lie). I had to upgrade to the nuclear response "I'm going to send this video to the corporation who sent me the item to show them that FedEx is actively lying on their delivery statuses. And I'll CC our local news team who's bored and happy to burn down corporations because they've got nothing else going on." Turns out they actually CAN get a message to the local distribution manager (no shit, I know that) who CAN call me to apologize and the truck magically finds its way to my house by the end of the day.<p>I'm not sure who to be ticked with or feel bad for. The drivers are typically the ones being abused, so I sort of feel bad for them. But also... stop freaking lying. Don't say you tried when you did. It wasn't even something that required signature. All you had to do was to walk the 15 steps from the truck, chuck it as hard as you can towards my porch (because... of course they do), and call it a day.</p>

<p>Not even limbo. If you need an ultra low power SBC, Pi is there. But if you want the cheapest option, it ain't.<p>A raspberry pi 5 8gb CanaKit. So pi, fan, microsd, cords, power.

And an Intel N150 is going to score 2-3x on standard benchmarks what the RPi does. You can find older N100 based mini PC's for even less.<p>The pi still has its place, again, for those ultra low power use cases. But for "I just want a small computer", it's not the option. Mostly because of economies of scale. Everything in the MiniPC's is made at thousands of times more scale than the RPi. Also.... in Chinese factories for significantly less cost to start with.</p>
