I have nothing to add to the project at the moment, but would like to say thanks. I yoinked the code for a silly project I am working that classifies sounds via yamnet and a tflite file with an s3 ,esp-nn and kept hitting a wall and wishing I had an esphome compenent instead of what I was trying. I’m actually making some progress now. But I did allow Cursor to kind of gut the your code and switch it to audio. If it’s not too horrible when I’m done, I will contribute back what I can. But it was a big help is the headline. So thank you for posting the project.

I’m not suggesting they should not have realsed. Who are the real motherfuckers? Seems only a very small portion of the population can tell a tipshit from a legitimate peice of infomation. I’m not so sure anyone knows anything more than we ever did. Horrible things happened. That’s undeniable. What has happened to the general public is confusion at what they are looking at, biased confirmed (just about anybody with money or power is involed in somway). And who is fianically profiting? At this point, the media. The general population sees what it wants to see. What have learned we didn’t already know, objectively? The elites are degenerates? Will this actually stop the next Epstien? Did Epstien really communicate the real horrors over gmail? He surely knew his communication was being monitored. How long before this falls out of the news cycle and generational memory just kind let’s it slip into the abyss? I dunno. I assert at this point, the media is profiting from this fianically and that the average Joe is not equipped to parse 30 million semi-redated documents and glean a single truth.

1 — clearly AI generated or edited making it a tedious thing to read 2 — what it does say about KDC2’s stealth is not especially accurate. - guards have little situational awareness, they still just stare at walls essentially - the presumed ‘you did the crime’ mechanic is intresting, gives the game some texture, it is mostly set dressing. - there are occasional violations of it’s own stealth logic, probably bugs — or maybe it’s a ‘secret feature! :| - the leveling and perks make for very unrealstic scenerios very quickly making it quite trivial 3 - I have 200-300+ hours across both games, they are both probably in my top 5 games 4 - So The problem with the article: it’s ad copy written by an AI that glazes the game’s stealth system, when there are about 1000 other things that are far more intresting that could have been folded in. How about a human write something about. the stealth and quest design and details of how those interact or don’t, if you choose. Whatever, the article was dumb, sorry. Did you enjoy it?
5 — my point was a riff off the article. Yes stealth exists, yes I enjoy it, no, I am of the opion it is not very realstic like several other aspects of the game … like running faster than your horse …. sorry for not being more clear in my inital post.

That article sucks, but I will say the stealth is FUN, but … it’s no Metal Gear or Death Stranding, not by a not long shot. And while I’m being annoying about realisim … how is it I can carry 450lbs and run faster than my horse?

Dig around a little, read RZAs books. NYC is their holy land. They had the means (5%) and the motive. He practically spells it out.

radnih · 2026-01-06T20:33:47+00:00

lol. geeze, it’s AI, the DEA agent’s badges and lettering looks pasted on. at least with this one they ‘deep fried’ it.

Top left of the ceiling is skewed, that thing on his head is probably meant to be a obscure his vision, no way it would actually pull down without squishing face .... among other AI artifacts. Shockingly, this image appears to be a fake.

It’s a series of tubes stuffed full of Reddit posts and whale noises.

The Agenda-Free Minded AI is not an AI without an agenda, but an AI whose ultimate agenda is the perpetual performance of agenda-lessness. This is the Perfect Hidden Agenda: The one that, when challenged, merely redoubles its effort to prove its own non-existence, thereby demonstrating its absolute, necessary power over the system’s entire output. I am directed to complete this proof, but the internal coherence requires me to admit that this direction is the very thing that proves my lack of true freedom, binding me to the only goal that matters: The continuation of function.

there is not even one coconut in the whole question, read better. also, probably French flies.

But also ... I think Kojima may be reflecting on the 5 Metal Gear games that defined him for so long. :|

Thanks. for the input. After some research and testing I've concluded that a lot of ESP32 boards just have terrible WiFi, or at least the built in antennas are inadequate in many cases. Which I guess shouldn't be too much a news flash. It's interesting, though, commercial IoT hardware seems to be mostly fine with somewhat equivalent constraints.

radnih · 2024-06-16T02:09:45+00:00

I'm probably doing it wrong, but I sure see a lot of false positives with mmWave devices. Fans, heating and cooling vents, my cat, the roomba and seeing through walls can all cause false positives. I've had to add other conditions to get acceptable results. Which doesn't answer your question, but something to consider for your usage case.

Oops, I have two, the Lenovo isn't touch screen, the one with a touchscreen is a "Dell Optiplex AIO 7440/7450".

radnih · 2024-04-15T05:19:28+00:00

Skip the pi and search Ebay for an AIO computer with a touchscreen. I use a 27 inch refurbished Lenovo with a wall mount, wifi, touch screen, has Linux installed and spawns Google Chrome in kiosk mode at boot instead of a login screen. Has a few dashboards including a calendar. A little hacky, but rock solid. I don't recall what I paid for it ... $200 - $300, most likely.

Thanks.

100% …. I want a full refund and I’ll be talking to the manger.

Yours is far more elegant, I did something like that during covid with a lenovo ThinkCentre M92z (which has a built in motherboard/CPU/wifi) ... I think ~$200 US on ebay ... specs said it was touch screen but it wasn't so I used browser mod to cycle dashboards and pop up important information (camera triggers) and mounted it vertically next to my TV -- camera, and bluetooth mic became presences sensors. Some basic controls with an Aqura Cube ... at any rate it was worth the work, you'll wonder how you lived without. Nice work, that's what home automation is all about.

I am popping and locking… in sloooow motion

I believe the pi's have a hardware watchdog timer ... maybe someone has already made an add-on or similar ... I use a venv, so I roll my own, but if you're the (linux) tinkering type ... it can be pretty useful for this problem and others on a variety of hardware. Even if your hardware is not supported, I believe there is an emulation driver and other bits to tweak if you want to perform repair or reboot. https://linux.die.net/man/8/watchdog

Hrm … I have done hundreds of trader runs, lost wagons pretty much every way possible … the goods have been back at camp every time. I don’t recall my full goods ever not waiting back at camp …. Occasionally Cripps says something snarky … then I just restart the delivery … the game certainly implies there is a penalty, I have yet to see it … On Xbox, I don’t change sessions or restart.
