dsalzman··on Appliance makers sad that 50% of customers won’t connect smart appliances
That's why I bought a washer dryer set from Speed Queen. No smarts - just a few knobs and buttons. They work great!

People have always been in a hurry

dsalzman··on AIOC: Ham Radio All-in-One-Cable
For the curious - I followed the "How to Fab" instructions to get pricing. Came out to $57.72 + tax/shipping for QTY 5 from JLCPCB.com . That includes making the PCB and assembly of the components besides the TRS connectors. Cheaper than I thought!!
dsalzman··on There has never been a better time to be short
"When you mate with shorter people, you’re potentially saving the planet by shrinking the needs of subsequent generations. Lowering the height minimum for prospective partners on your dating profile is a step toward a greener planet."

What ever floats your boat I guess...

dsalzman··on I hate living in my tiny house (2019)
Isn’t the biggest reason to build on wheels is to register the tiny house as a vehicle and not pay property taxes on the house value?
dsalzman··on How to sell tickets fairly
Make it a lottery. A toy example, instead of selling 10,000 tickets that sell for $1000 sell 500k “lottery” tickets for $20 each. A lucky 10,000 get to the concert. The artist/venue makes the same amount. Everyone gets a chance at seeing the artist for a reasonable price. Would work for very popular artists with young fans like T Swift. Lottery tickets would need to be non-transferable as well.
dsalzman··on I record myself on audio 24x7 and use an AI to process the information
My original inspiration is to better understand how I talk to others and study my own behavior
dsalzman··on I record myself on audio 24x7 and use an AI to process the information
I will!

Someone is experimenting with diarization (speaker identification) + Whisper here https://github.com/openai/whisper/discussions/264
dsalzman··on I record myself on audio 24x7 and use an AI to process the information
I've been experimenting with this recently as well, but with an app on my apple watch. Looking for a method/model to split different speakers into different tracks to only look at audio from myself and certain people.
dsalzman··on CT scans of batteries
The company behind these scans is https://www.lumafield.com/ - a really cool way to do marketing for your product. Love it!
dsalzman··on Why adults still dream about school
It really says something about western education that these PTSD like dreams are so widespread.
dsalzman··on Electrical engineers on the brink of extinction threaten entire tech ecosystems
Was ECE in undergrad - graduated in 2014. Everyone I knew went into software. There just weren't that many opportunities in HW if you didn't want to get a masters/+PHD.
dsalzman··on I spent $35k on a domain
Did you try contacting the owner of testimonial.com and offering them the 35k??
dsalzman··on Snap launches its first drone
I like the playful design. Reminds me of the Minolta Weathermatic Type A[1] with its flat yellow body and picture setting control knob on top. Looks fun

Mostly just personal projects and life updates

dsalzman··on Twitter has a new CEO – what about a new business model?
I agree. It really is becoming the Bloomberg Terminal 2.0.
dsalzman··on Pacaso is turning houses into corporations
My parents did a similar model with 3 other families in CO in the early 2000's. If the model works for you - great, but you don't need a VC backed startup to organize and manage it for you.

The key to these "co-share" models is liking your other partners in the LLC. Pacaso's model seems to restrictive and expensive for their target market.

dsalzman··on Althttpd: Simple webserver in a single C file
Love the Carbon Cub reference. STOL!!
dsalzman··on Show HN: Easier, Free Webflow
Netlify should acuhire you
dsalzman··on Millions of Groundwater Wells Could Run Dry
that is true, but just like oil water can be transported via pipelines.
dsalzman··on Millions of Groundwater Wells Could Run Dry
Been researching water usage a lot lately. Truly eye opening the amount of indirect water we consume through food products. We "eat" 3496 litres of water everyday. Check out https://thewaterweeat.com/ for a great infographic.
dsalzman··on Show HN: Nettu Scheduler – A self-hosted calendar and scheduler server
Yeah. I want to combine multiple cals into a single cal with only free/busy that i can then publicly share/ give out to my friends/family
dsalzman··on Show HN: Nettu Scheduler – A self-hosted calendar and scheduler server
This is great. It almost handles a use case I’ve been looking for which is a slimmed down version of Calendly. Basically merge multiple personal/work calendars into a single free/busy calendar I can share with my wife/family.
dsalzman··on Prosecutors say Trump’s Twitter was hacked by guessing his password: maga2020
It would be astounding if such a high profile account did not have two factor authentication automatically enabled/ allowing such a weak password. That’s a national security risk.
dsalzman··on Show HN: Hystoria – a Reddit-like site where all posts must be 5+ years old
Reminds me of The Hacker Classics. http://jsomers.net/hn/

It includes every HN post with a date like "(1999)" in its title that has earned more than 40 votes. Some good gems in there.

dsalzman··on AirPods Max
It’s not that it’s innovative in its function. It’s innovative in the speed of design and ability to leverage parts in their supply chain they already have.
dsalzman··on AirPods Max
Including the Digital Crown from the Apple Watch demonstrates the power of Apple designing their hardware in house and amortizing new components over many products.
dsalzman··on Lambda: Turn Excel formulas into custom functions
I hope they add an import and export function to this. Ideally you could sync these functions at an org level via O365.
dsalzman··on Teardown of the SpaceX Starlink User Terminal
I’m surprised this type of tear down was allowed under the beta user agreement. Or maybe just ignored.
