”I would feel pretty silly if my solution uses its own camera. So I'll be avoiding that.”

The male Chinese speakers had THICK American accents. Nothing really wrong with the language, but think the stereotype German speaking English. That was kind of strange to me.

Maybe. We’ll see if he open sources grok 2 or if he just want others to open source their models and weights.

Is this a new thing? As a non-American the US is for us famous for the exact opposite in south/latin America.

Extremely easy.

But the resolution of the images are absolutely horrible...

By giving up enough you can have the possibility of having the U.S. army help you. Unless they for some reason don’t want to.

Thread hijack: where can I get a replacement screen? Mine is very scratched up.

I highly recommend you play the game “Turing complete” alongside this course. Will give you an additional visual way of looking at the problems.

I live in China. You can't use it here easily. Even if you use a VPN you still need a non-Chinese phone number.

I also can’t stand the gimp ui/ux. I haven’t tried it myself but I just googled this[0].

In 2003 I installed a scale in our dorm toilet. When you sat down you push a button and when done you push it again. If you were in the top five you could enter your (three letter max) name using a two button system. Top five were displayed using a super low resolution screen similar to a pinball high score screen.

I can also recommend Sunvox as a great tracker, but it’s much more than that. Free on most platforms and around 10 usd on iOS/android.

> I had to tell him not to do that, but I was kind of proud of him for having the temerity to go for it.

You told him off for such a small thing? You were impressed but didn’t give encouragement? You are a horrible parent.

Maybe Node-RED?

This is not a dog replacement. It's a robot that looks like a dog.

The three books I recommend are these: {0,1,2}. The first two are best read together and maybe sprinkle in a bit of [2]. If you are on Linux or Mac then the last one obviously has to be substituted for something else.

> It's because they've become increasingly obnoxious.

Earlier this week I got served a 1.5 HOUR long ad by YouTube for a bank here in Hong Kong.

I kind of get your point (i think?) but maybe you shouldn't try to belittle the use of the word "supremacists" in the context of modern language. Try looking up a definition if you are unsure. Maybe you disagree on the definition but that is probably the mainstream one...

I love these type of projects. This is definitely on the top of my reading list now.

Another wonderful “from scratch” resource is “Crafting interpreters” [0] that I was recommended here on hn.

Did you read all three? The first one isn't great but as a trilogy I found it quite good. There are several places where the story building contradicts itself but if you are willing to look past those then it's solid science fiction. It's not on the level of Arthur C. Clarke or Asimov but they were obviosly big influences.

To share. But it's a very obvious check-box.

It's hard not to be cynical here... the trolls might very well be the ones selling the equipment.

Ah. Found the wu mao. Glory to the CCP!

> The government said its proposal was not "a ban on end-to-end encryption".

> Critics say companies could be required by Ofcom to scan messages on encrypted apps for child sexual abuse material or terrorism content under the new law.

So, what's going on here? Is it going to be E2EE between user and user and then also a copy E2EE between user and the government? What a time to be alive.

I have absolutely no idea what you are trying to say here. The creator shouldn't be the owner of the work, the owner of the work should? That's EXACTLY how the world works and has worked for longer than you have lived.

You can buy a piece of art from someone and get all the royalities if you aren't creative but have money.

That pretty much means your old. :-) How about: "I came in as a wrecking ball"? Or "I'm in love with your body." from the absolutly horrible song "Shape of you"?

Only time I've seen this was an IKEA in Shanghai about 5 years ago. They had a sign that said that umbrellas cost (equivalent to) $1 if it was raining outside and $3 if it wasn't. :)

MIT 6.041[1] is a very good course I can recommend. Not sure if MITx 6.431x on edx is the same, but it's the same teacher in any case.
