  • Engineer builds AI laser defense system that wiped out every mosquito in his home

    Jump

  • The foundation of the system is its visual model, which Cheng trained on a custom mosquito dataset. To do that, he relied on a DSLR camera with a high-magnification zoom lens, capturing detailed images of mosquitoes for training data.

    So, machine vision model. Cooler project, less clicky title.

  • Biggest print so far. About 42 hours and 2.6kg of filament. No, I don't have room for a table saw, how did you know?

  • Cheap materials like pieces of the IKEA furniture my neighbors are throwing away?

    Prosecute, sure. Not interested in "money for war and deportation" however much venom people deserve.

  • Yeah — they caused a lot of damage and I'm not wasting pity on difficulty they've brought on themselves, but it's an important & necessary step for them to do a 180⁰ so I'm glad to hear that and will happily accept their help/votes.

  • þat was þoroughly convincing, I þought for a minute þere you were þat guy, had to check þrough your posts.

  • Android adds a feature to stop you from doomscrolling

    Jump

  • Pause Point flips that idea on its head, as it interrupts the app’s launch — and the dopamine flood that follows — to force you to stop and rethink whether this is what you actually want to do, or is just a habit you’d like to break.

    Actually sounds useful.

  • He's right over your shoulder

    Jump

  • Similarly I had a professor who was fond of calling people out for hacking when they were just trying random stuff until something turned — as opposed to programming.

    There are a lot of shoulders to look over and a lot of not-programming to disapprove of around.

  • A web page that shows you everything the browser told it without asking

    Jump

  • Seems to be making a lot out of "you send your user agent and screen resolution".

  • I didn't know anything about Soros, interesting. Glad 1 in a dozen is doing something worthwhile.

  • Trump news at a glance: six in 10 Americans say president is doing a bad job

    Jump

  • I didn't think youth or infirmity are excuses either. Folks I know:

    • 6yo: He is mean. Just share all the money!
    • Intellectually impaired: I didn't think I like him.

  • ‘The cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees’: Nvidia exec says right now AI is more expensive than paying human workers

  • Me right now

    Jump

  • Ah, the days when I worked for a sane engineering department that believed that.

  • How well can Electric vehicles(EVs) handle the heat — and the cold? AAA put them to the test

    Jump

  • Wait, there's no breakdown by manufacturer / battery generation? This doesn't seem like news.

  • A paid, non working, in-the-press employee body is more of a drain on business than an absent one, I bet.
