The Site is part of the platform developed and managed by Arduino, which allows users to take part in the discussions on the Arduino forum, the Arduino blog, the Arduino User Group, the Arduino Discord channel, and the Arduino Project Hub, and to access the Arduino main website, subsites, Arduino Cloud, Arduino Courses, Arduino Certifications, Arduino Docs, the Arduino EDU kit sites to release works within the Contributor License Agreement program, and to further develop the Arduino open source ecosystem (collectively, the “Platform”).

This is the definition of “platform” in that document. It is just the websites.

The “Platform” is just the website. They are saying don’t hack our servers. There is a caveat for content published under an open source license (like the docs).

I uploaded my own image, tried various crops, but it always guessed cat or deer, with dog<3%.

I think they only trained on dogs with floppy ears, because it is very confident the German Shepherd is a cat.

I thought there was so much excess solar generation that even the utility company couldn’t store it all. There is a perverse incentive to dump the excess power to prevent the price from going negative and prop up demand for their generation services. There are lots of examples in economics where it is more cost effective to destroy a worthless product than to give it away. When the government subsidized the generation infrastructure and some of that power is generated by residential solar, it makes sense to step in force the utilities to behave in the people’s best interest.

I’ve been working on a tool to help me discover chord inversions and find fingerings I can comfortably play. https://music.shademaps.com/

It’s not that dystopian if you are given the choice to trade your attestation for more valuable service. We have been paying for the web by letting advertisers correlate our behaviors together for a couple decades now.

Making a network request from a script is not abuse, consuming excess bandwidth is. Scrapers already spoof browser reputation and cycle IPs while abusing bandwidth. Recently I wanted to convert the results of an Autotrader filter into a table so I could supplement it with data they don’t track (towing capacity). It was two pages of results, but requesting it from a script was aggressively blocked by browser fingerprinting. I had to port it to JS and run it in my browser console manually to get the data out, wasting my time.

The UX is really bad. POI loading is taking 10+ seconds to update, then any zoom or pan reorders the list of locations. Most of the missing info (around me) is just phone numbers and hours of operation, which are boring and should be trivial to collect automatically.

The first (and only) security report I made to Google was denied then immediately patched (about 10 years ago).

Letting them automatically pick the model is no longer sustainable, but there are some very efficient models that are capable of executing the plan created by a much nicer model. It’s kind of embarrassing to think that Microsoft’s auto model selection was choosing cutting edge reasoning models for tasks like resolving dependency conflicts back when their pricing was at a loss.

I tried to photo copy a dollar bill when I was a kid on a dinky inkjet printer. It printed half way then spit out something about counterfeit prevention. I scanned the bill, printed the top half, fed the paper back in, and printed the bottom half. This can only actually stop the completely unmotivated.

When you say continuous interlocking U shape, are you saying it fills one channel from the top until the connected channel fills from the bottom?

There was some discussion on that topic when they self-promoted this 3 months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47242929

From what I have read most of the recent EV companies failed due to investor shenanigans. Fisker and Coda made it to production promising ~$30-40k models, but only really delivered ~$50-70k models before they folded. Slate is posting videos of an operational factory building the model they advertised and seem confident it will be under $30k.

Slate is outsourcing service operations to any shop that wants to pay $50 to get certified.

I don’t like the bins drifting from so far away so slowly. There needs to be repulsive force that prevents the bins from colliding.

It would be interesting if the resonators could adaptively model timbre to factor out harmonics while still handling unique timbre at each frequency. That could produce a pitch diagram color coded by instrument.

Edit: I bet you could fork a resonator and run over the window it just finished in reverse to correct the drift.

Businesses like a record of reliability, so devs going solo with AI is going to be a hard sell. I think we will know that AI is actually good enough when these AI providers start absorbing project management companies and hiring contractors to use their product instead of selling subscriptions.

It also says it is supposed to be available in their own Edge Gallery app and it’s not there (on iOS).

If only they had launched that yesterday I might have avoided Copilot auto model selection using a 9x model, quietly burning my monthly quota in a single afternoon.

Prologium is depositing thin film solid state batteries onto flexible ceramic insulators. They have some demos of single cells that appear to be thinner than 1mm continuing to operate after bending in half.

But it jumps around and flickers pretty bad. Chrome’s own demos in the docs don’t work at all.

https://developer.chrome.com/docs/css-ui/scroll-driven-anima...

Edit: Their reference works and has some really nice demos. Must be an iframe problem. https://scroll-driven-animations.style/#demos

Not only did they switch to token billing and increase the multipliers, they started auto selecting 6x and 9x models more often than before. The UX is such that you don’t find out what model it chose until after the request is complete.

The “Peeping Tom” Laws Penal Code 647(j) explicitly states it is not a defense to this charge that the defendant is a cohabitant, landlord, tenant, cotenant, employer, employee, or business partner or associate of the victim.

He looked through a window and saw black cables taped to the walls. A man was typing on a laptop sitting next to what appeared to be a robot.

This sounds a lot like criminal invasion of privacy.

Edit: What are you downvoting? You can’t secretly watch Airbnb guests through a window you rented to them for the same reason you can’t put spy cameras in their bathroom.

this is not a ransom … Send your offers … we are not interested in under 50k…

It is a blind auction with a $50k minimum bid.

Ford is replacing their Lightning EV with an “EREV” gas generator.

I wonder how their slicer is handling the infill angles. I suspect the bridge detection is only kicking in on the top layer, which ensures the infill angle is perpendicular to the gap. The bottom layer is going to follow a global angle and eventually run parallel to a hinge as the design gets complex (hence a later design failing and requiring thick hinges).

Painting infill angles would be tedious. I bet with concentric infill and some clever zero width cuts you could make all of the hinges perfectly perpendicular.

After seeing the fixed 3rd order spherical harmonics I was curious how that might be optimized. DropAnSH-GS (Feb 2026) drops out high order SH coefficients to force low frequency color into low order coefficients (3.4. Spherical Harmonics Dropout). They conclude that high order coefficients can be discarded to trade off speed/size for detail. They don’t seem to have considered encoding as sparse coefficients post training to discard all near zero coefficients.

I don’t remember it being covered in any of my government classes, and I had not considered alternatives to electoral representation until it started being so openly corrupted. Sortition USA looks interesting.
