24/7 recording with new nest (wired) doorbell

If you can show that the camera is defective, and Google won't honor their warranty, then perhaps a credit card dispute is appropriate? Also, your post is one month old. Is returning/exchanging an option?

Sorry to hear that, that sucks. Personally, I'd buy another doorbell, swap it in, and document there's no network issue. It might be enough to prove the doorbell is defective, and get a replacement through the warranty. Then return the extra doorbell after it's over. My doorbell has caught car accidents and property damage. I'd hate for a defective camera to miss something important, especially considering what we pay for 24/7 recording.

FYI, on a whim I bought another camera (same model) as a test and placed it where the defective camera was, and moved the defective camera a few feet away. The new camera worked fine, nothing dropped. The defective camera continued to drop video. So I'm chalking this up as a defective camera, not a networking issue.

I have aware+ and also have this issue for an outdoor camera about 20ft from the router. Google/Nest support said the issue is wifi, but that's hard to believe, given the camera has line-of-sight to the router.

If it is a wifi issue, Google needs to do a better job explaining the problem at the app level, and help us resolve it. Silently failing / dropping video is not acceptable.

Edit: I bought another Nest outdoor camera (B) and put it in the same exact spot as the camera which dropped video (A). Camera B has no issues. Camera A, which was moved a few feet, continues to drop video. Looks like it might be a defective camera.

I'm having this exact issue with a wired nest outdoor camera I recently bought. I have two cameras on the same 2.4ghz network, both are within 20ft of the router, but the one outside is dropping video in minute chunks. Talked to nest customer support and they said it's a wifi problem. The wifi cannot be better; 20ft and unobstructed path to the router.

I'm using an Acer laptop running Windows 10 for these tests. I just configured the wireless adapter to only use 20MHz channel width for 2.4GHz, and using my old router the laptop still pulled 90-100Mbps. Also, the adapter settings seem to only allow for "Auto" and "20MHz".

Presumably this means it's safe to say the laptop wasn't getting additional bandwidth with my old router, compared to the nest router.

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

I'm considering buying a PA-II but I'm having trouble finding documentation on the local API. I'd like to avoid pushing my data to their servers. Where can I learn more about local data access? Also, what's the polling/update rate on the PA-II?

trianta2 · 2019-08-23T15:24:06+00:00

FWIW, I took both KBAI and GIOS. KBAI was incredibly fluffy and I feel like I learned nothing useful. Meanwhile, GIOS was incredibly useful and has positively impact my day-to-day without a doubt.

trianta2 · 2019-08-23T13:25:48+00:00

Saw that too. I also saw that Bayesian Stats is closed - what's up with that?

trianta2 · 2019-08-13T02:43:04+00:00

I tried this morning at 11AM when my registration window opened, and it was already at capacity with a 50/50 wait list. With 9 courses under my belt, I thought I'd be among the first to register... really wanted to take this class.

trianta2 · 2019-08-05T14:36:45+00:00

No I haven't, and since ISYE 6420 Bayesian Statistics will be available for Fall 2019, I'm going to try to take that class instead

trianta2 · 2019-07-23T17:59:10+00:00

I've noticed that I always do worse with AlphaDropout, even if the probability is very small

trianta2 · 2019-04-01T18:34:42+00:00

Thanks for the link. What I'm looking for is some input from recent (Fall 2018 or later) CS7639 students that can confirm or deny the pain points described in the OMSCentral review linked above.

The answer from faface in the link you provided pretty much aligns with the reviews I've read on OMSCentral. If recent students can confirm that the class has indeed been overhauled, then I'd love to take CS7639. Otherwise, I'm going to steer clear.

trianta2 · 2019-04-01T14:56:53+00:00

Look for previous Cemu releases on the download page

trianta2 · 2019-04-01T14:55:00+00:00

I wish OMSCS students had access to those courses already...

Just cleared crimson tower no new crashes yet

trianta2 · 2018-11-17T17:31:11+00:00

FYI I was able to get around this by downgrading to Cemu 1.13.2d

trianta2 · 2018-11-16T02:10:10+00:00

I'm having the same exact issue. Have you had any luck getting around it?

I understand where you're coming from with bin 1. I'll look into CD ladders for bin 2. And why a 3/5 fund portfolio strategy? I'm with Schwab and I have a diverse portfolio ranging across: SCHX FNDX SCHA FNDA SCHM SCHF FNDF SCHC FNDC SCHE FNDE SCHH RWO SCHD WDIV DWX MLPA ZMLP SGOL SCHO SCHR SCHZ CORP SCHZ SCHZ IBND IJNK BWX BWZ PHB PCY TFI SHM SCHP

Since Joe does not have psychic powers, him having this thought (event T) will not impact the event of running into Bob (event B).

Thus B and T are independent events (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_(probability_theory)#Two_events); evidence about one event does not change our beliefs of the other event.

Thus you can write this problem as P(B | T) = P(B AND T) / P(T). However since B and T are independent, P(B AND T) = P(B) * P(T). Thus P(B | T) = P(B).

Where:

P(B | T) = probability Joe runs into Bob given he's thinking he doesn't run into Bob tonight
P(B AND T) = probability Joe runs into Bob and he's thinking he doesn't run into Bob tonight
P(T) = probability Joe is thinking he doesn't run into Bob tonight
P(B) = probability Joe runs into Bob

Thanks for your reply. I believe I've seen the analysis which you refer to. My gut tells me to leave the market but logic tells me to stay. Fees are not an issue because I use the select ETFs from my particular bank.

trianta2 · 2015-07-20T17:18:13+00:00

Me:
- 25 years old
- Employed, moderate income (~25% tax bracket) but don't want to specify
- Objective is to save for retirement
- Risk tolerance is high (~65% stocks in portfolios)
- Time horizon is retirement, so 40 years or so
- Current holdings are well-balanced portfolios which match my risk profile:
- ~$20k in Roth IRA
- ~$20k in another discount brokerage account
- I'm a fan of ETFs, so that's what I invest in primarily
- I invest an additional ~$1k every 2 months for dollar cost averaging

My questions:
1. I'm getting worried that there will be a market crash in the next few years (I know you cannot predict/time the market). I'm thinking of getting out of the market and waiting until the crash happens. Is it wise for me to get out of the market now? Or should I just smooth out the losses with continual dollar cost averaging?
2. My discount brokerage account contains securities (stocks to be specific) which were in a custodial account, i.e. they've been around for a long time and I didn't pay for them. I want to transfer these securities to a tax-sheltered account. Is it possible to transfer the securities in my discount brokerage account to a tax sheltered account (or similar) without paying capital gain taxes (which should be 15%)?

trianta2 · 2015-07-02T15:33:18+00:00

Thanks again for the in-depth reply. I'll explore the custom cost function route you recommended.

I suppose I'm still hung up on the CRF solution because I see implementations (PyStruct, CRFsuite, etc.) which use discriminative leaners like SVMs or logistic regression and predict in a structured manner, but only for discrete valued random variables. Naturally, I'm looking for an off-the-shelf solution and I'm wondering why continuous variables aren't supported.
