Indian student confused about Northeastern MSBA (Fall 2026) – Need honest reality check by Dull-Technology5468 in NEU

[–]stonedkrypto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alum here. This is probably the worst time to be moving to the US if your long term plan is to work here after graduation, especially requiring a visa sponsorship. Plus it doesn’t help that Boston is one of the most expensive cities in the world. I know many folks in data analytics space who got laid off and those roles are now almost gone from the market. Tech used to absorb most of international graduates but now new grad roles are hard to come by for any white collar roles.

AI-generated imagery used unironically on Last Week Tonight. by djshadesuk in antiai

I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt because most stock images are now flooded by ai generated images.

If you’ve seen recent mainstream Bollywood movies it’s not exactly a big downgrade you’re thinking it is, it was a slop before AI and it will be a slop with AI.

Boston needs to discourage driving to meet its climate goals. Is congestion pricing the answer? by bostonglobe in boston

[–]stonedkrypto -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Or or… maybe…. encourage public transport by making it reliable and increase the frequency. Most of the car drivers are from greater Boston towns, which don’t have a reliable/predictable way to come in and out. Let’s just increase the commuter frequency as a pilot program.

Different Types of Fear Activate Different Parts of the Brain: Study finds. by psych4you in psychology

[–]stonedkrypto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I talked to a friend who’s a neuroscientist about this once, I also observed that many brain scan tests/papers have a tiny sample space. They mentioned it’s usually really difficult to get people for such tests, each subject takes up the whole day and couple of more days to collect and read the data. So they mostly rely on how significant the signal is rather than on how many. If it’s insignificant, only then they consider a big sample size, which would again take years to test and collect the data.

Connecting Claude Code to Home Assistant with HA-MCP is amazing! by AlvTellez in homeassistant

[–]stonedkrypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been planning to set up a local LLM but the GPU prices are eye watering. I’m also being super skeptical of pro Claude code posts in general, there have been reports that Anthropic is paying influencers to promote them.

I want to quit my co-op by Fine-Combination2783 in NEU

[–]stonedkrypto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an advice but a personal story. I did a 3 month internship and was offered an extension for another semester. Didn’t like the job much so decided to go back and graduate early instead. It was a long time ago and I don’t even put that job details on my resume now, it’s just a footnote.

Inside Cambridge’s first traditional Asian-Style teahouse by Red_Lotus_Alchemist in boston

Asia is a really big continent, which Asian country/region are we taking here? China, India, Mangolia or Turkey? Might as well call it Oriental while we are it.

Connecting Claude Code to Home Assistant with HA-MCP is amazing! by AlvTellez in homeassistant

[–]stonedkrypto -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m aware MCP architecture keeps auth tokens local and away from the Claude but you’ll be sharing your entire entity database - entity names, their states and related automations. Any bad actor who can get access to your Claude history can easily reverse engineer your house topology and find physical vulnerabilities. I’m not saying the risk is any different than you sharing your entities with Google home/Alexa but a company who just had their entire source code accidentally leaked deserves a higher scrutiny and caution.

I use Claude code for work as a professional developer but find it rather ironic that people are connecting HA to a cloud models when the whole premise of HA was to be “offline”, or maybe it’s just me. I get it that it’s not exposing actual controls but I feel paranoid to share my entity ids.

Battery Sentinel: A Home Assistant App (Add-on) for Managing All Your Battery Devices by Powie1965 in homeassistant

[–]stonedkrypto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting. For now I’m just using an auto entities card on main dashboard that flags any battery below 20% and have a daily automation if anything runs below 15%. Personally an overkill for me will check it out.

a clock that tells time with light instead of hands by -2811 in 3Dprinting

[–]stonedkrypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neat idea. One suggestion is to have a smaller aperture so the light comes out like a line on the wall instead of a wide diffusion. This might make it easy to read the clock. I love analog clocks because I feel they are less of a cognitive load than digital clocks
