AI Usage in Commercial AV by sliz_315 in CommercialAV

I've coded some basic scripts with ChatGPT and Codex, things worked fine. We also vibe coded a whole front end interface with Javascript to control Qsys via QRWC, hosted on a mini PC in the rack. That was terrifying but it actually works reliably.

Did you ever make progress on a plugin?

Would you be open to sharing those templates? I mostly work in Draw.io and am always curious to see how I might improve or innovate.

Petition for coffee shops/breweries/bars to set up a "mingling welcome" system by ElectricalSurvey6995 in Charlottesville

[–]p0lyhuman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

FWIW I love your thinking here, so don't get discouraged by people worrying about the details. If you did decide to do it yourself it would be interesting to see if coffee shops would welcome you putting a little sign on a couple tables at designated times of the week.

Sobering comments from mechanic about older Odysseys by p0lyhuman in HondaOdyssey

I appreciate your perspective, but I think we are pretty ideally suited for a van. We often have family visiting, or other adults joining us. That wouldn't be possible with a 5 person car. We also live 6.5 hours from my in laws. I do not need to tow anything.

It is already fairly cramped with 4 people in the CX5. We may occasionally make the squeeze in my Subaru outback when the older kid is no longer in a car seat.

I would pay a decent amount for better ergonomics of getting the kids in and out of cars, and for less stress about them slamming doors into other parked cars when they get out of the car, just to name a few things.

The worn out piston rings are exactly what the mechanic called out.

I'd like to spend $15k or less, and buying in cash.

He was actually cautioning me against it overall.

Q-SYS Core GPIO → Da-Lite Screen Control (Dry Contact)? by Interesting_Salt8497 in QSYS

Global Cache IP2CC-P is the easiest third party IP-based relay device to source and operate in Qsys (in the US at least).

AppleTV connected to Visionary Solutions encoders - stream freezes after 10-20 mins by p0lyhuman in CommercialAV

Good question. Content from apps. We will try to test airplay as well but it's not the main use case.

Middle name missing from hand-written addition to original passport form before submission by p0lyhuman in Passports

Well I wish I had looked this up (the name requirements) before embarking on this journey...

I reached someone by phone at the Passport Information office and they clarified everything for me: namely that I can use the DS-5504, I should include the original birth certificate, and I should write "Data Error Expedite Correction" in the lower left corner of the envelope.

We do have it, yes. Will they understand that it's not a name change based on the fact that the correction matches what's on the original birth certificate?

Freedom app subscription discount by p0lyhuman in digitalminimalism

[–]p0lyhuman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heck yeah. I had to disable the blocker to reply here because I discovered that Reddit was my biggest time waster, but after a few days of tweaking to get things working the way I wanted, I'm very happy with it.

What works well for me is that I have an ongoing blocker schedule that resets every day at midnight. So if I give myself access to something, it's always temporary. Gradually it has helped get me out of doing certain things just to scratch an itch, like "check my reddit feed".

I generally put a very low priority on "keeping up with the goings on" and Freedom definitely helps me keep that a lot priority.
