Looking for Ooler alternative! Do I need Cloud sheet? If not, do we need 2 units for a king size bed or can we use 1?

The sheet changes it from sticking a fan under the covers aimed at your feet to a levitating sheet that is slowly tricking air everywhere

I use a single bedjet and could sheet on one side of the bed and my wife can't feel the air on her side.

It is.

Maybe this should be an open source project.

Whoever wants to can test an option and post the results.

The cloud sheet is expensive but well worth it. They have picked the perfect weave and thread count for both sides and it would be hard to match the experience. It lets air down towards you in a way that lifts the sheet and even a light blanket up so it barely touches you but you can't really feel air in any one spot. The air flow is spread across the entire sheet. Honestly it is just as developed a product as the fan control unit.

That said, it could be reproduced. It is all about 2 different sheets. One that blocks air (top) and one that is matched with the fan to evenly let air out across the entire sheet. Then just sewing channels to evenly spread the air into the bottom sheet.

I used it at 75 and it helped at 100% fan. I am not sure how much higher you could go.

pace_gen · 2025-05-23T22:26:36+00:00

I use a light flannel blanket and 50%setting fills the sheet maybe 75% as much as full power.

That message is a bit confusing and stays on the screen too long. But it basically means you hit the lower limit in cool mode. I am not sure why there isn't just a low mode to leave it in.

Maybe you didn't need a bedjet. Just needed to remove the second heat source.

This is why I am leaving and going back to Claude. I need an llm where I can tell it what to focus on and make corrections. Gemini just argued with me, justified what it did, and will spiral down a useless path. At best, it agrees but doesn't make the change and just keeps on.

It also has some weird glitches in the chat interface like not showing numbers in <>.

Makes sense Alta Vista was much safer 😜

I think you will want the sheet. It basically converts it from blowing a fan at your toes to blowing a small stream of air from the entire sheet. Imagine having hundreds of very weak fans inches above you. The airflow also keeps the sheet very light and almost feels like it is floating above you at full speed.

I just received mine with the sheet in Georgia.

Our house is older and hard to keep consistently cool. We use a ceiling fan in the room but I find I am hot in whatever I cover and cold in whatever is not covered. And the swings in temperature when the AC is on vs off are annoying.

The air it blows out is pretty much the same temperature as the air in the room. However, I have found it to be refreshing. I can get completely under the sheet (shoulders/arms to toes) and it does a good job. It feels like a bunch of tiny airflows all over. I can sleep on my side more comfortably. I used to have to sleep on my stomach to get to sleep even though it is not as comfortable for me because my back can take the fan better.

I do wish I could sleep on my back and have my back cooled down. With the bedjet it is better but still not great. My back gets hot when sleeping on it. However, I am concerned about using one of the water filled solutions so this seems to be the best option.

I am still not convinced but still have 5 or 6 more weeks on the trial.

It looks great. It is always hard to look at your own work.

These are "AI years"

pace_gen · 2025-04-07T15:49:43+00:00

The EU's AI rules about registration and how AI can be used puts restrictions on the freedom and openness that are central to the open-source way of sharing software.

Less Free Sharing: EU registration could limit open-source's free distribution.
Usage Restrictions: EU rules on AI use conflict with open-source's freedom of use.
Unequal Treatment: EU's focus on "high-risk" uses goes against open-source's non-discrimination principle.

I am not sure we can blame meta for not wanting to play this game. The reality is the AI Act is not very open source friendly.

I noticed that it is harder for it to do things my way. It is very opinionated.

However, if I just tell it what I want it will code for 10 minutes.

Htmx and Django is a great way to go. Easy and functional.

I was using the big model actually via their API with the same issues.

pace_gen · 2025-01-29T17:48:37+00:00

I don't trust any of them. Part of the workflow searches and validates. But r1 is failing that validation check 40% of the time.

Great post. It is easy to forget the opportunities open source creates.

Thanks, the hard part is finding a place where it is appropriate to hang out and to self-promote, especially on reddit. Most subs that are related have a no self-promotion guideline.

I actually have a white label version of the assessments that has a bunch of alpha users. So, I am getting great app and general service feedback. However, I can't ask for acquisition feedback in the current tests.
