Yeah! Can’t wait for dual eventually and real time stream!

I assume the real router OS is extremely neutered to basically only route traffic and filter inbound with everything else being removed? But yeah I can definitely see that.

Wouldn’t all traffic be routed through the OS/processor on board?

Have you noticed significantly slowed network speeds over WiFi?

Not sure if it's still a thing but I remember being able to call Uber with my Apple Watch (cellular version) in 2017 when my phone died.

Just published the Halo vision headphones [1]. Currently working on reducing parts where possible, tuning audio quality and video stabilization.

Built something similar almost a year ago during the holidays [1]. Open-source if you want to check it out [2]. I use the mobile app version from time to time when I'm going on walking adventures around the city.

New comment by ata_aman in "I tried every todo app and ended up with a .txt file"

ata_aman — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 19:49:44 +0000

Funny coincidence, I just published an offline infinity-scroll notes app[0] today to replace my long txt file. Desktop version probably in a couple of days. Last time I published an app for myself, my friends (and ~1k others!) loved it so trying doing it again.

I've used a .txt pretty much my whole life from my old Vaio running Ubuntu to my Mac books after, especially as a heavy terminal/nano enjoyer. I always saved it as do.txt in my base dir. Thousands of lines which was always nice to look at and more importantly easy to reference links I used during debugging or troubleshooting from months ago. It's a weird mix of a bookmarking list, daily to dos and quickly jotting down phone numbers or details while on the phone with someone (if I'm not on my personal laptop, I usually type the thing while I'm on the phone in the PC browser address bar then copy it over which is not ideal because auto-search).

Another strategy I've used is iMessaging myself with links or notes, which in my opinion is the best way since it auto syncs AND you can pin yourself in the iMessage app for quick access.

Yeah, here's one[0]. Obviously long ways out but using speech to run through scenarios of different simulations from pre-defined parameters would be great. You're basically applying formulas to already designed objects. If the model could run the scenario and spit out a report when it's done with summaries, it would be great since some of these simulations take hours. Then adjust the model for better sim results and iterate accordingly.

Somewhat related, but I'd love GPT enabled multi-physics simulations on objects. Designing in CAD, especially for intricate objects seems (currently) to be better when done by "hand", but I'd absolutely love to use speech-to-text to run different simulations on said objects.

I made something[0] last year to have something very consumer friendly. Unbox->connect->run. First iteration is purely to test out the concept and is pretty low power, currently working on a GPU version for bigger models and launching Q4 this year.

I have similar goals, get enough land to do hobby rocketry and get back to long range shooting. Both require a lot of land haha. Bumming it out at publicly available land at the moment. Awesome to hear you're enjoying the hobby with your son!

Good to see a balanced spend amount on the competitive shooting. I know it can get crazy spending wise.

It's a file explorer where it embeds your local file structure so you can use natural language to search your file system.

Started off as a local inference/vector-db only project last year and now also using cloud inference/vector-dbs for faster processing.

You can also use "agent-mode" to organize your files/folders, create items, move, copy and save content to disk directly from chat.

Always love seeing Ben Eater’s “build [X] from scratch” His YouTube is one of the best channels to understand how stuff works from fundamental building blocks.
