What thermal camera are you using with the Pi?

> I can’t say for 100% certain but I struggle to believe what you’re describing is more common than not.

This is absolutely common in New Zealand.

I think treating people with dignity, respect and part of the community is as important as state financial support.

Our government will also subsidise wages in certain industries for people with certain disabilities. So it’s common for people with intellectual disabilities to be working at supermarkets.

In my country people with Down syndrome often live in housing together in suburban areas, with a social worker keeping an eye on things (independent living) or a carer available 24/7. They do sports, catch the bus, go to neighbourhood bbqs etc.

Your depiction of a person with downs is not representative of the majority.

That story is heart breaking. I really feel for you and your family. I quite literally cannot imagine having to make that decision regardless of how inevitable it was, and how much pain you felt.

No matter how short his life, or how much his suffering, Owen did get to experience being held by parents who loved him.

Why shouldn’t they be? They are probably the same size and cost the same to run. They are not doing full training runs (eg Mythos) so don’t need to recover insane training costs.

4.5 -> 4.7 was a solid jump for me having skipped 4.6. It probably does depend on the specific tasks.

I gave 4.6 a miss and only recently switched from 4.5 to 4.7. I found on a particularly different task 4.5 struggled with (getting stuck in loops and trying to convince me the problem had been solved) was quite solvable with 4.7.

Can you explain this concept?

If I was in Brazil and invited to a bbq at 8pm, how would the host respond if I asked “so what time do you actually want me to arrive”?

Good question. It attaches between the hips and knee so it probably reduces the impact on the hips. I can’t see how it wouldn’t increase impact on knees and ankles. Seems like a bad idea.

I really don’t understand the hype of that product.

It’s like an entrepreneur with social media marketing skills came across a container full of really cheap small eink displays, then designed a product and marketing around it.

> There are surprisingly many "portable" typewriter options out there (including electronic ones).

An odd laptop ($0) with free software ($0) makes more sense than buying another electronic device.

I googled your interesting HN username and best as I could tell it refers to what was a satellite radio show.

Satellite radio probably contributed to the demise of AM radio in countries where its available. It offers the benefits of AM (range) without the major downside (quality) with both being infrastructure heavy.

Any tips for using it? Maybe I am trying to find the wrong things but every time I have tried to browse it confusing.

Should I be looking Amazon.jp and then buying on buyee?

I am sorry to tell you but the perfect timing was 8 - 12 months ago before the price of components shot up.

That is what I was wondering. I would have thought it would need to be opened at eye level for the contents to hit the eye before being depressurised.

If LLMs allow them to speedrun to an alternative mainstream browser, then full speed ahead.

A third runner in this space would make the browser market a lot healthier than the current chrome/webkit and Firefox duopoly.

There is oddly a configuration panel on the web page that lets you turn off many effects and make it readable.
