dicknuckle··on 3D Novel View Synthesis with Diffusion Models
I'm entirely unfamiliar with this, but is there a future where we can take a few pictures of something physical, and have AI generate a 3d model that we can then modify and 3d print?

Asking as someone who's dreadfully slow at 3d modeling.

That was, what a year ago? 2?
dicknuckle··on Matter – Protocol to connect compatible devices and systems with one another
That's.... not a long time. The tire pressure sensors in your car have 7-10 year batteries running off the same standard lithium coin cell.

Then you have a string of devices that need to be connected together in a more n rigid fashion, either in separate compartments of a bag or case with a USB cable between, or strapped together with tape.

Find someone locally who has a 3d printer. If you don't already know how to model 3d objects, they will likely charge you for that time and then 3d print a test. Then when you have it right, there are plenty of pro shops that can produce a more permanent 3d object through Laserjet Fusion or other methods.

Also a much bigger timeframe for testing and development. This isn't something you slap together in a weekend and call good. More like building an experimental drone than putting together a 3d printer kit or building a PC
dicknuckle··on Comfy Software: A software aesthetic for hackers with depression
Why I use ChimeraOS now. It's now a PC gaming appliance.

For the Pi as an access point, it's easier to just install OpenWRT on it. As a USB drive, you're likely to have issues with the SD card in a vehicle. Probably better to run on something that has eMMC storage and a dedicated SATA port instead of relying on USB.

For installing Nvidia and CUDA drivers, i use Chimera OS for gaming. It's now an appliance that can be accessed from the TV for game streaming, or we can sit directly in front of my color correct display with keyboard and mouse. All updates are atomic so there's no cruft that requires a reinstall every few years.

dicknuckle··on Show HN: An ultra-light-weight tool to quickly test your ping
Can't say I've ever felt the need to test ping from my phone other than finding out if my wifi AP was dead while I was in the attic troubleshooting. There's an app for that.
dicknuckle··on Show HN: An ultra-light-weight tool to quickly test your ping
It's even easier to have a ping going in the corner of my laptop screen. Since the Win7 days I've used SimplePing, on my work Mac the app store wanted 99c for this privilege but there's a free one that does the same thing.

dicknuckle··on R. Crumb Means Some Offense
There's little value in cancelling Crumb, because he's not influencing modern media or the impressionable youth, and he's not influencing neo facists. The whole point of cancel culture seems to be hitting the biggest problematic targets and avoiding the whole "don't meet your heroes" dilemma before fans naturally come to that crossroads. It's also a practicing example of "sunlight sanitizes" low ideologies.

Or that's my opinion of it. Good or bad it's here to stay for at least a few more years.

Or just mail multiple copies to distant relatives and ask that they keep them where they would keep important documents.

Traditionally, 23" racks are for batteries and behemoth class network gear chassis.
dicknuckle··on The mysterious balancing stones on frozen lakes
I had the same exact phenomenon. Bought a freezer for my garage and immediately did the coin-on-ice trick for a week before using it and then checked again 2 months later and found the strange position of the coin.
dicknuckle··on The Follower: Using open cameras and AI to find how an Instagram photo is taken
That's how a lot of license plate reader features for surveillance cameras already work.
dicknuckle··on I patched my Slack client to keep “oops” messages others delete
I actually don't mind that part. I could be replying to one of a handful of threads throughout the day within my team.
dicknuckle··on The Trouble with 5G
My opinion is that in-building tracking doesn't have to be an issue, and the people who care don't linger watching advertisements in Malls. More power to someone who finds a way to use that data to make buildings like Grocery stores more efficient, like getting room temp products first and frozen things last during the walk.

Sounds like you're exactly the case that should be worried.

KeepassXC has OTP functionality but it's very clunky as the URI needs to be crafted. I usually copy the OTP string from another credential and edit the code and name.

Nah, this all makes WAY too much sense. It will somehow get regulated to shit when millionaires somehow convince lawmakers this is somehow illegal.

Wait, who blocks UDP? I've worked many different angles of the technology world and never heard of anyone blocking something so ubiquitous.

Is there a way to put your pronouns on your Blog username or near the beginning? It would make things easier for anyone who doesn't know you.

Far too often tech people (myself included) make the false assumption that most everyone in this space identifies as He/Him.
