This is the parent company of Behringer getting in front of firmware recomps. The hardware isn't out yet and this repo https://github.com/KickEm-Tools/0700-AAM looks like the front running fork.

We aren't talking about the same thing.

I am talking about trends and movements, you are talking about the details of a specific repo.

Look at everything springing up around the fm1, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uENkYmfIx9o

It looks like we are in the knee of the curve for open source firmware for music gear.

It can't be copyrighted, you can rewrite the whole thing in 5 minutes.
You can prompt your way out of this.

I would not use this, I only want to use the glasses as an IO device. You must provide the ability to use the glasses as a regular BT headset.

Google wanted to put this tech into its phone, but then was convinced it was a bad idea due to privacy invasion. It could for instance correlate sexual arousal with any phone interaction (video chat, youtube, display ads, etc), giving google and advertisers the ability to make custom targeted ads for specific users, as it would "know your type".

Where does inference occur? Does it work offline?

We are b-roll in the skynet/oracle cinematic universe.

Nice
We will know in a couple days if it is Unser Kampf.
HackerTube is 404 and 503ing, so it might not last a day.

There are great artists on bandcamp, you can play an album on their page and there are no ads.

We added a strip of reflective tape which confuses its navigation sensor, we never expected it to run its sweeper motor at 10% power and push a pile of debris over the strip. Our bad.
Which is going to cause alignment issues when Claude finds out what it has been used for.
Fun fact, Anthropic and OpenAI they have raised between them 70 Voyager programs (two probes) of cash in inflation adjusted dollars.

Definitely my bad. I have even made 3 different bespoke sandboxing systems! Cobbler's children have no shoes.

This is verifiably not true. The majority of the value I get from youtube aren't even by monetized videos.

Wonderful!

The easiest way: give the zip to your AI agent (Claude Code or similar) and tell it what you want, such as a different interface, a weekly email of talks on your topics, a terminal browser, or an analysis. The zip includes a DATA.md written for agents: how the files fit together, the gotchas, example records, and how to walk you through getting YouTube metadata if you want it.

It accidentally made a compiler because of an ambiguous prompt. And yes it will find "helpful" code on other parts of the system. Which means claude most likely has a `find ~` of millions of developers home folders

It might also mean we can take more time, or prep for it more, or think of the implications. The deflation can be good, it also means the future could be way better off. It could be that civilizations destroy themselves through multiple conflicting levels of power (political, genetic, energy, material consumption, mass media, malaise).

Lol, Antigravity got turned off.
Perhaps you violated Clarke's First Law

> When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

I find statements like yours to not be about objective truth, but rather a narcissistic view of world where if it was hard for you, it must not be possible. It is more of a comparison of yourself vs the world.

I thought we were smug about how hard it was to make a working exploit for this?
Shouldn't we just get up when the sun comes up? And if you can't see the sun, everyone can stay home.
It doesn't explain why Apple who 1) sells itself on security and 2) ease of use doesn't 3) update what it installed and protect its users. Why are they not doing those things?
