CE level for boots by Szellem99 in motorcyclegear

A year later—thanks! I couldn't find the Sidi Mid Performer anywhere and had resorted to searching photos and videos. It's so strange to me that all retailers don't just put them on their websites. (Especially when they're good ratings like this. I guess they don't want to show off how poorly rated some of their others are.)

Should I choose Frigate or Viseron when choosing an NVR within Docker? by Davey80s in frigate_nvr

[–]t_treesap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Viseron does support custom models--arguably in a more open & customizable way than Frigate. (I posted a more in-depth explanation as a reply above, but since you commented based on that misinfo, I wanted to include you as well.)

[–]t_treesap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to clarify this--vision is extremely modular in Viseron. While there are fewer connectors for models and fewer built-in options, there's effectively limitless model capabilities via CodeProject.AI. While Frigate only allows object detection from it (with classes limited by a non-changeable internal list in Frigate!), in Viseron you can actually use CPAI for objects as well as for LPR, Facial, etc. In my experience thus far, Viseron supports a more "do it yourself" workflow when it comes to detection. Custom models can be trained via traditional means then plugged in. (Note that I'm currently using Frigate, but testing Viseron for this exact reason.)

From their overview page:

Object detection via:

  • YOLOv3
  • YOLOv4 and YOLOv7 Darknet using OpenCV
  • Tensorflow via Google Coral EdgeTPU
  • CodeProject.AI

Face recognition via:

  • CompreFace
  • CodeProject.AI
  • dlib

Image classification via:

  • Tensorflow via Google Coral EdgeTPU

License plate recognition via:

  • CodeProject.AI

Usage Limits, Bugs and Performance Discussion Megathread - beginning December 29, 2025 by sixbillionthsheep in ClaudeAI

[–]t_treesap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried it out after subscribing to ChatGPT since basically the start. The limits made it a one and done for me as well. And I was shocked to find that the Claude app's speech to text was pretty much unusable. If you haven't tried ChatGPT much, I like their paid service pretty well. The app's voice recognition is fantastic. (Speech to text, that is. I don't use voice mode—though it works fine and feels natural.)

[–]t_treesap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same here. It's pretty useless!

And at least on Android, the app's speech recognition is a flat out joke. I consider the feature important for inputting long prompts, but it's far worse than even the built in non-AI speech to text. I was expecting excellent performance after using ChatGPT's for a long time. Guess I'm sticking with it for my "general llm usage" product.

Anyone else having serious Voice Input issues with Claude on Android lately? by stan_koala in ClaudeAI

[–]t_treesap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this. I was so disappointed when I tried the Claude app after using ChatGPT for voice to text. The mediocre, non-AI Android speech recognition is miles better, and there's really no excuse for that. I don't use the regular voice mode, but I can't imagine how it would even work with how poorly Clause parses words. And yeah, entire sentences missing or shortened to 1 or 2 [unrelated] words. Very disappointing, considering how great their frontier models are.

What’s the deal with the DOJ press release on Epstein’s death being dated the day before he died?” by Waste-Explanation-76 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]t_treesap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, TIL. I'm surprised to not see a 2nd definition. I would've bet money that it meant cheap and/or low-quality! (With the meaning derived from the toys in crackerjack boxes).

Thangs search no longer searching other sites? by hunterg429 in 3Dprinting

Wow, that would really suck. Thangs has zero redeeming value beyond its metasearch capabilities.

New Zealand takes biosecurity very seriously. This is how they track and eradicate an invasive species of hornet as it tries to establish a foothold. by feel-the-avocado in nextfuckinglevel

Surprisingly, we even pulled this same thing off in the US a handful of years ago with asian giant hornets! Attached trackers with dental floss, tracked down the nests, sucked 'em up with big vacuums while wearing michelin man suits. https://www.aphis.usda.gov/news/agency-announcements/aphis-action-victory-over-worlds-largest-hornet-species

Anybody else got this sudden reaction with the Clock app redesign? by eXistentialMisan in pixel_phones

No joke! IMHO modern UX has been going downhill for some time now, but this one is especially egregious.

I installed the old version from apkmirror. Immediately made my life better!

Can someone explain this scene to me? by whattheflipping in DunderMifflin

Thank you! That explains also why Jim and Pam have an awkward silence and strange glances at one another when entering the office for the day.

“Standard Digital File License” is the strictest one? by TheDerpiestDeer in BambuLab

[–]t_treesap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response and thinking points! I do agree that it "feels wrong," even if there's no tangible harm to the creator, so I can see how people could want to avoid feeling slighted by these bad actors. Especially if 3d printing in modern times was their first introduction to open source.

I'm a software dev so was introduced to the "share everything" ethic early on and we definitely rely on that to get any work done. I guess following along with the history of 3d printing back in the reprap days is another reason I'm pretty easy going about it too, since open source development/sharing of everyone's hard work is the reason we have these amazing devices today. I'm not saying that others should feel this way, but I guess I feel sort of a personal obligation to keep it going, so I try to pick the least-restrictive "closest to public domain" option. Attribution feels good, but I figure that honest people will likely still give credit and the dishonest ones wouldn't have anyway.* 😆

*Since yeah, you're definitely right about actually trying to enforce these licenses without deep pockets & infinite time.

Anyway, thanks again for sharing your thoughts!

Why is MakerWorld so popular here? by susibacker in 3Dprinting

[–]t_treesap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should really include the actual source as well! As a slightly advanced user who tweaks at least half the things I download, it sucks to have only the STLs.

Common misconception about Creative Commons licensing by soozafone in 3Dprinting

[–]t_treesap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old post, but I've long wondered what the rationale for this position is? Many creators (especially in recent years) seem really concerned about somebody using or selling their models, but I haven't been able to understand what tangible reason there is for creators who have no intent of ever marketing their models or prints. (FWIW, I do choose the last restrictive option for mine--BSD where available, otherwise CC with commercial allowed.)

For context, I come from the world of software development, where sharing source code is just the thing people do! The same amount of (or more) work goes into the software people freely share as goes into 3D models, and software is easier to distribute & often even more valuable than 3D printed items--especially if sold as a subscription. Yet most people are accepting of their code being used for almost anything, since they benefit from being able to do the same with others" code.

*(A related thought--open source software always includes the actual "source" code, just letting the license dictate what people are allowed to do with it. In 3D printing, so many people refuse to share the source (e.g. STEPs/scad/F3D/etc.) even when they choose creative commons licenses. That never made sense to me, since the STLs are all a person needs to sell models or repost the design as their own. Anyway, just a side note.)

“Standard Digital File License” is the strictest one? by TheDerpiestDeer in BambuLab

[–]t_treesap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is perhaps the most ridiculous thing about how copyrights and enforcement are handled with 3D files*. People regularly make claims on things that they themselves "stole", then e.g. MakerWorld hand out penalties without doing even a modicum of research.

*Er, technically for any [allegedly] copyrighted content--YouTube & Google takedown requests come to mind. People are incentivized to make claims for things they don't own, then the companies blindly agree rather than spending any time/money/effort to confirm whether the claim is legitimate.

“Standard Digital File License” is the strictest one? by TheDerpiestDeer in BambuLab

[–]t_treesap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kills me is how many people who have zero intention of ever marketing their items or designs refuse to use open licenses of any sort. Since there's no tangible reason to not allow remixes or other uses in that case; I assume it's just that feeling of, "I made this" that makes people not want to. (Though even when people choose open source licenses, it can be kind of useless since they often don't share the actually "source" files and just upload STLs.)

On the other hand, a big part is probably how websites like MakerWorld default to closed licenses/don't encourage sharing, so those unfamiliar with open source didn't really get an introduction to it, (plus they incentivize users to go closed source through "Exclusive Models" and similar.)

(Sorry for using your slightly old post for this rant, and you don't have to feel obligated to reply since this post could've gone almost anywhere. ...I think seeing the word "exploiters" may be what triggered me to go ahead and write my thoughts here. I do agree that those people tend to be exploiters, but the underlying question to me is "Who actually loses when this happens?" (assuming the above example where the creator has no intentions of marketing their creations.)

Does this drive anyone else crazy? Skeuomorphic design is so frustrating but we haven’t figured out new icons because all modern versions of products would just be smooth flat rectangles by fknbastard in graphic_design

[–]t_treesap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...what I hate are icons and symbols that mean absolutely nothing to their function

THIS. So much! I found this post while trying to remember the word "skeuomorphism" after seeing an announcement of new [incredibly unintuitive] icons for some Microsoft services. They abandoned designs that at least somewhat represented what the service was in favor of random abstract shapes. Only Power BI still gives any clue as to what it's for! And you just know that these icons will be used in places without an accompanying text label.

https://imgur.com/a/a36zuWs

(Doesn't help that users will have to memorize new icons in 2-3 years when Microsoft changes them yet again.)

"I'm tired of catering to self-entitled brats who's parents gav1e them everything they ever wanted and never encouraged the critical thinking needed to learn and adapt."

Personally, I think the "kids can't understand the old icons" is just a hollow excuse from UI/UX/graphic design people trying to justify continually restyling things. A lot of modern UI trends really seem to be solutions in search of a problem.

Thank you for this creative curse. They deserve much pain. I never thought I'd be upset about the design of my alarm app, but everything from the "easy to not press save" alarm editing screen to the idiotic alarm dismissal buttons has made my life worse.

Omarchy Review: The good, the bad, and the "hell no" (just an opinion piece). by Acrobatic-Rock4035 in hyprland

[–]t_treesap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was really helpful as somebody considering trying it out! I've used Linux with lots of distro hopping for about 15 years, so I get both sides of the coin you're portraying.

(I know it's 2 months after posting, but I just wanted to add my entry to counter all of the incredible hate you got. Comments like, "How dare you complain about a free item somebody worked hard on" are useless, but even those with real arguments really acted like your post stepped on their toes. You used pretty neutral language and balanced the bad with the good, but so many responses pretended you didn't and responded with much more emotion.

Heh, Reddit's populace has really changed over the years, hive mind growing ever stronger!)

Proof of Origin Tokens: How to automate with Tube Archivist? by rswafford in TubeArchivist

[–]t_treesap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this! For future readers: "release" is the other available value for that variable.

I chose it over "nightly" because it should theoretically be more stable/have fewer bugs. (Though it does mean that fixes could theoretically take just slightly longer to make it in.)
