Today I got served this video "Earthquake and Liquefaction his Urayasu, Chiba 3/11/2011" [0], which is from the earthquake which caused the huge tsunami in Japan.

I have rarely seen something as scary as this.

Terrifying. I know that Japan is earthquake-proofing its architecture but how about the underground infra? Do they have to dig and redo the pipes? The cables seem to be mostly overground (at least in this video) and are probably easier to repair (oldschool infra ftw).

> Since I didn’t want to make any permanent changes to the phone, I didn’t want to remove these tabs, or to solder anything onto them. I just wanted to connect a cable to them in the easiest way possible.

Same here but I want to go for a xilink bluetooth adapter and maybe even sacrifice and old smartphone with a separate sim. Not sure if the AI stuff will work but it seems possible….

Polling HN: is there any upgrade to Coral? It's 5 years old at this point, and with the explosion of AI apps & HW acceleration, I'm surprised there doesn't seem to be anything to update Coral's niche, of an IO-attached NPU.

For on-camera AI, I'm aware of OpenMV https://openmv.io/ and their recently-kickstarted N6 & AE3 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/openmv/openmv-n6-and-ae...

OpenVINO might be a good alternative, as many Intel-based mini pc’s support it. Or a decent desktop with an Intel CPU. Or maybe something with an Arc GPU (integrated or dedicated).

Disclaimer: I didn’t try it yet but the last rabbit hole regarding OpenVINO comparisons looked too good to be true and it seems Frigate supports it too. Win-win.

Mandatory recommendation of the Gigapixels of Andromeda [4K] [1] video/version. Especially with this particular song(!), as the 8K version [2] has a different one which doesn't really give the chills... Although, 60fps makes the image much better. Maybe combine the song from [1] with the video from [2]...

The source picture is the 1.5 gigapixels version (69.536 x 22.230 pixels).

Fun fact: watching the video on certain TV's makes them flicker wildly. Probably because they struggle with many dots in motion. On a monitor it works flawlessly.

Denmark promised to allow a fair independence vote. They certainly didn't promise to respect the results of an unfair independence vote with significant outside interference.

Unfortunate name. Can you connect Tabby to the OpenAI-compatible TabbyAPI? https://github.com/theroyallab/tabbyAPI

I though that Tabby, the ssh client [1], got AI capabilities...

Switching inputs is by far the thing that causes the most anxiety for a regular person (based on observational evidence). I really believe that it makes or breaks whole lines of service.

IMO, streaming won in part because once people (i.e. grandma) changed the input to the streaming device, they couldn’t figure out how to get back to the cable box, or at least didn’t want to risk “breaking anything” when trying to do it when their resident tech person wasn’t around.

Getting rid of the input button is either really bad (making this process even more fraught), or is a sign that the whole idea is just going away. Input switching should be incorporated into the home screens instead of being a separate menu/function. Hopefully this is the direction LG is going.

Unless you have a remote with the magical "TV" button and you only have to teach (i.e. grandma) to press that one when the TV channels don't appear.

Not sure if this would work with cable boxes though, as they might get separated from the default TV input (as in, scanned channels) but THIS is something they should make smarter (learning the default input and assigning it to the TV button)

Cheapest G5 in Europe I could find was 180 EUR, but sold out. And on amazon.de it's 280 EUR.

Medox · a year ago

GMKtec Mini PC N97 [1] is 160 EUR on amazon.de (with the 70 EURO voucher that is). Got mine with free shipping to Romania, as the purchase was over 50 EUR.

Also, the N97 has better performance than the N100, but the power consumption is higher. For me its a plus as it's more powerful than the usual N100 mini PC's while much smaller and fan noise is quite low (for now at least...). Not really intended for high workloads and 24/7 anyway. More like a backpack PC.
