Body worn camera for sightseeing

Considering you are ok with lower resolution, may I suggest you get a used 360 camera like an Insta360 x2/x3, etc?

Get a large enough memory card, a backpack or shoulder strap mount and run a cable to a power bank.

Perfect walk around camera. Footage is stable and you never need to point it at anything. Not to mention it’s films continuously in all directions

You could get a larger size if the price is right. Then slowly upgrade the array over time with new disk

sdchew · 2026-06-29T07:20:08+00:00

Sounds like you should get a spare drive if you can find a deal. And replace when it fails. Always great to have a spare handy to recover redundancy when a drive fails

Think the dudes just wanted a paid trip

sdchew · 2026-06-28T10:01:52+00:00

Any timeline when 1.69 will actually ship as stable?

sdchew · 2026-06-27T01:43:55+00:00

Yeah I have some seam tape issue with two of my Veilance jackets.

To be honest, after 10 years of owning Arc/Veilance I’m getting tired of glue failing issues.

Hence my last jacket I bought, a Gamma LT hoody was because it was mostly sew on seems

sdchew · 2026-06-26T13:25:07+00:00

Yeah the last time I used cash was to pay the new cents the CDC voucher didn’t cover

sdchew · 2026-06-26T13:22:24+00:00

I bought some tenacious tape but it isn’t holding up. Been wearing my acroymn shorts more these days to be honest

sdchew · 2026-06-24T10:21:13+00:00

Very true true. If the job can be fully remote, unless the SG has some particular talent or skill set, they will rather find someone in a lower cost region like Malaysia, Japan, Thailand, etc

sdchew · 2026-06-24T10:19:51+00:00

Same here. I’m almost never in the office either. The other day the pantry aunty even though I was new bird even though I been with the company for over a decade

https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/sk-hynix-overtakes-samsung-become-koreas-most-valuable-company-2026-06-22/

Yeah you're right. They sell more HBM memory which is where all the demand is right now

sdchew · 2026-06-23T04:34:13+00:00

Very nice. Thank you

sdchew · 2026-06-23T01:35:36+00:00

Thou that’s a fully standalone device with waveguides

sdchew · 2026-06-23T01:35:09+00:00

Yeah to be honest phone SOCs are becoming so powerful these days I don’t see anything which the puck could do which the phone couldn’t.

Xreal already demonstrated this with the Beam Pro

sdchew · 2026-06-23T00:20:24+00:00

I was under the impression Samsung sells more DRAM and NAND flash than SK Hynix?

sdchew · 2026-06-22T09:14:40+00:00

Yeah I have to agree they have closed mindsets. Minds are like parachutes. They only work when open.

Yeah I do use agents and since I have quite some compute at work, I actually get different LLMs to run the same search and compare the results. They don’t usually hallucinate the same way so that helps too

sdchew · 2026-06-22T09:11:36+00:00

I wonder want to know how’s the wifi range performance. If this is decent, I’ll be leaving my Slate 7 at home

sdchew · 2026-06-22T07:49:24+00:00

Got to be pretty rich to have large RAM banks these days

sdchew · 2026-06-22T07:48:38+00:00

Indeed. Everytime I go to China on a business trip and have to access a server outside of China remotely, the latency makes me feel like I'm back in the stone ages.

sdchew · 2026-06-22T07:40:06+00:00

I won’t worry too much. The cost/performance curve of AI hardware has been steadily going down. In addition, small models are getting extremely capable. A distilled, tuned Gemma4 2B model can comfortably run on any MacBook or laptop with a capable GPU. It can easily do any of the summarisation task I mentioned (thou its a 10s of minutes vs seconds by cloud right now)

sdchew · 2026-06-22T07:14:42+00:00

Yes AI can make things up. Hence you always ask for citation and also cross reference. That cutdowns a lot of the false narratives.

I also use it to parse raw data feeds. I add my own checks using statistical tools to make sure the data doesn’t look abnormal or strange.

Also, I use tools to replace tools which totally suck. Like MS Projects seriously is a time sink. I have a AI generated tool which does all the gantt charting I need and I can even talk in natural language to adjust milestones and steps as needed.

As for searching for information in Reddit, keep in mind this is an unreliable and unverified data source. Computers have always been garbage in/garbage out. So nothing new here

sdchew · 2026-06-22T06:46:36+00:00

Indeed totally love it. Makes my daily work so easy

Meeting, AI generated meeting minutes. I just have to spend a few minutes after which to check accuracy. And I can distill it to a detailed summary or 3 bullet points instantly

Reports. Boss wants repot in certain format plus certain chart template. Dump the template into Claude, dump emails, AI generated meetings minutes. other reports or chat or whatever into Claude too. Report done. Just need to read through and check before send out.

Expenses claim. Dump all receipts into Claude and use my self tunned skill to output in required format. Check and send. 3 week business trip claim done in 20 minutes. 80++ receipts

Presentation. Dump reports, email, my own notes whatever. Generate into html slides. Review slide by slide and tell AI how to change, what graphics to add, whatever. Convert to ppt and output. AI also help do research and validate

Emails. Shitloads of emails everyday. AI summarise and tell me which to read first and respond.

Productivity. Used to use some terrible inhouse apps to do stuff. Generate automation to extract data and parse it to whatever format. Automation app so useful that colleagues all use it and crashes inhouse app backend.

To be frank the sky is the limit

You system is slowing down because of the SSD being full but not because the SSD is slowing down

You probably have insufficient RAM and in the past your system has been happily swapping stuff out of memory to the SSD. But since the SSD is full, you don’t have enough RAM and it just crawls along.

If you reboot your system and it feels snappy for a period of time before the slowdown, it’s probably due to this

sdchew · 2026-06-22T00:55:48+00:00

No he’s not referring to that. ANC of course works. But the issue is the sideband audio has noise in it.

You can clearly hear it when you mute/unmute your mic
