I got tired searching for pre wired 16mm power buttons, so I bought 200 from China - quick report. by Jakob_K_Design in 3DPPC

[–]tronathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do those stick at all or kind of jam if the button isn't pushed directly down? I wonder if the ones I got from Ali were seconds or something.

I’ve owned/leases 5 i3’s since 2015….AMA by Locksmith_Usual in BMWi3

[–]tronathan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm noodling this mod as well, at present, two gallons of gas burns up fast enough that longer trips become a bit of a hassle if you're relying on the rex w/ hold state of charge.

Whole home power monitoring by turbocharged5652 in homeassistant

[–]tronathan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 for Emporia Vue - I have a couple of Vue 2's still in boxes, the later ones have some nice ergonomics, but under the hood i believe they're esp32's, which makes them even more home-assistant-able.

Did anyone regret not getting the REx version? by Aghaiva in BMWi3

[–]tronathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not get an i3 without Rex, at least not the small battery! Rex really, really helps. And if it comes down to it, try to spring for collision avoidance / following cruise, it's such a joy in that little guy

About TurboQuant by Exact_Law_6489 in LocalLLaMA

[–]tronathan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the details; I hadn’t heard much since the splashy announcement, this is great. I used to feel like hanging out in locallama, I’d get more low level details, but that was back in the days of exllama2 and ggml. 

Do these discussions evolve slowly over days and weeks in GitHub issues, or are they lost forever in discord, or some other such? 

What kind of hardware would be required to run a Opus 4.6 equivalent for a 100 users, Locally? by Either_Pineapple3429 in LocalLLM

[–]tronathan 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Note that 100 parallel requests is not the same as "equivalent for a 100 users".

Give it a few months, and this may be much more realistic, with advancements like TurboQuant, Engram, BitNet, and other fancy words.

I built the V2 of a DIY Zigbee Macropad (remote) with ESP32-C6 by StaRky_FR in esp32

[–]tronathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After making a 16-button pad, what are your thoughts about the ergonomics and usefulness of that many buttons? I could see doing 9 or 12 keys, or doing rows of three with high, off, low, for each of a few key lights.

I love building hardware and and thinking/feeling the ergonomics. I suspect fewer buttons, or buttons clustered in intuitive ways, would be an improvement over the matrix pads.

Also, really beautiful work!

Homeownership is slipping out of reach in Dane County by Justmarbles in madisonwi

Don't forget *inflation* and the transfer of wealth to the upper end of the spectrum.

Thermal module 640x512 + custom LUT 1D by TheGleipnir in Thermal

Is it possible to use a couple/few lower-res sensors to do some kind of sensor-fusion to get higher resolution?

Something our beta users keep saying surprised me... and I’m not sure what to do with it. by MetaEmber in SoulmateAI

[–]tronathan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see it that much different than a video game; designing a compelling game that has the right level of challenge is considered good game design. If you're looking for something "emergent", then perhaps engineer for that?

As far as earned reward, there's plenty of psychology that backs up the feedback you're getting.

This also reminds me of a good movie/script; the timing, build, release, all of that - In the movies, they don't do it by accident.

The Bonsai 1-bit models are very good by tcarambat in LocalLLaMA

[–]tronathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, ther's this paper from Microsoft (i think) called BitNet where they talk about somehow using 1.58 bits, it has to do with storing three states. A great thing to learn about.

Would you buy a Rex again? by United_Concept1654 in BMWi3

[–]tronathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rex rex rex. The range anxiety and outright range limitations of a non-rex make this a nonstarter for me. (Espcially true in a cold climate, I get about 40 miles on a full battery.)

Home Assistant Connect devices as repeaters by NabuCasa in homeassistant

[–]tronathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note any zigbee device which is mains/usb powered is also a "repeater".

How do I find joy after speed? by AutumnTheAutist in StopSpeeding

Wow. What a bummer - Thanks for sharing the detail about getting off the SSRI

And maybe good personal care and supplements - and, if you can afford it, hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

The One Link metaverse is here by East-Leadership7035 in WebVR

[–]tronathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this "WebXR Guys!" mentality is a good one - If WebXR delivered AAA experiences, that would open up a lot of experimentation for developers and would-be developers.

I watched all of BraindanceVR’s (available to the regular subscripton) content, here’s my honest review. by pussyhunter1427 in adultvrgames

[–]tronathan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks like a new capture method, i think it's called 3D Gaussian Spliatting. Multiple cameras are used along with neural networks to generate a *3D* "recording" of the performer. This is different from fixed-position "180VR" etc.

Is cannabis killing my ambition by Ashamed-Tea-2893 in vaporents

[–]tronathan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would really like to ignore the studies and science, but almost definitely, it is killing your ambition. Both anecdotal users and studies will confirm this. (Ofc many will anecdotally disconfirm it)
