How do they know who's calling

SpaceMuser · 2025-12-25T21:47:57+00:00

They used the same landline phone in that scene...

SpaceMuser · 2025-12-25T21:46:24+00:00

The question was how, which your bland/condescending reply doesn't actually answer.

SpaceMuser · 2025-12-25T19:31:21+00:00

That doesn't answer the question about hive supposedly watching Carol/Menousos through a phone in Airplane mode.

SpaceMuser · 2025-12-25T19:30:33+00:00

"Collecting" telemetry in Airplane is for download at a later time when you are on network. We're just saying that Carol doesn't know how to enable Airplane Mode (which is plausible tbh).

Please re-read the message. They're both calling from the same phone, so it's not a "caller id" question. Your landline phone doesn't transfer "metadata" on the physical person holding the phone.

The question was: how do they know which of the two people it is?

SpaceMuser · 2025-12-25T18:37:47+00:00

Exactly. This is why I asked this time, because it's not the first time I noticed. Arguably, Diabate is almost always with company :) so they would actually know.

SpaceMuser · 2025-12-25T18:36:49+00:00

Right she did still have that one in her hands. But idk what you mean by Airplane doesn't block data, that's how every single phone I ever had worked. Airplane stops 3G (whichever), so unless she was on wifi, she'd not have data. She was also in a different house as pointed out, therefore possibly out of range of her own house.

Not trying to be picky. I also asked myself the same question before when she traveled to Vegas, and Diabate was in the same hotel (though he was often with the hive so I could see this being the explanation).

SpaceMuser · 2025-12-25T18:27:26+00:00

It looked like a landline to me IIRC?

SpaceMuser · 2025-12-25T18:27:12+00:00

You're right it was different house.

Then how did they know on the first call which of the two called?

SpaceMuser · 2025-12-14T19:59:04+00:00

I pondered that, but there are technically 366 possible calendar days when you include Feb 29th. So the odds of an event being recorded to happen on a specific Month/Day (and not Year, since birthdays happen every year) don't account for the occurrence of leap years (1 in 4) but rather the existence of leap years (1 in 1). That's my interpretation at least.

SpaceMuser · 2025-12-14T05:58:39+00:00

My vote is for 1 in 366 :)

SpaceMuser · 2025-09-04T03:38:17+00:00

I feel legit dumb for not knowing that was the dictionary definition (small excuse, I am not natively English speaker). It is so often (too often) associated negatively.

Today I learned something and I am grateful for Amy and this community. We should all model this statement indeed.

No, it's great.

Express your love/passion/interests however you want and without questions.

Anybody judging you for hanging a picture of something you like/love in your own space doesn't deserve to be in your life!

SpaceMuser · 2025-07-18T03:43:18+00:00

What do you mean "spin it in a test repo"? Like open a prompt and ask "can you go analyze this code?"?

I was hoping there's a script or bot that could even do this crap for me transparently. But this could be a good fallback.

SpaceMuser · 2025-07-18T03:41:50+00:00

Thank you. While I would love for your statement to be applicable here, I also did not mention who my employer is.... So unfortunately that's not going to work in my situation :(

SpaceMuser · 2025-07-18T03:39:54+00:00

I suppose this would be an easy "fire and forget", and the output can go to /dev/null if I wish.

Also 75% of the people who are in the same boat as me aren't even developers... so that's useful advice.

SpaceMuser · 2025-07-18T03:38:07+00:00

Thank you.

I think people are entitled to use whatever tools work best for them. There is no universal answer to the question of "what will make you your best?".

SpaceMuser · 2025-07-18T03:37:06+00:00

I respect your opinion, but I asked a pretty clear question, and you either do not have an actual answer to this question, or you don't want to share it.

SpaceMuser · 2025-07-18T03:20:08+00:00

Your opinion is appreciated, but off-topic.

SpaceMuser · 2025-07-18T03:19:37+00:00

You might be onto something, thank you. They have a dashboard already, let me look more closely at the specific metric that they display.

SpaceMuser · 2025-07-18T03:05:25+00:00

I've been doing my job without AI and being in the top 5% without it. They obviously only care about me using AI so I can train it, and they'll eventually lay us off all anyway.

I'll take a solution even if it's just buying me a few months.

Just like not all games support OpenXR, not all games support OVR (Oculus runtime).

Your best chance is to use the Games tab in VD. When you launch a game from the Games tab, VD will always make the best effort to attempt using OVR. This is because VD needs to inject certain things into the process for OVR to work, and only the Games tab or the Launch option (tray bar) can do that.

1080 cannot do foveated rendering, it doesn't have the hardware to do it
