There was an appliance where the wifi chip was at the end of the power cable, embedded inside the plug. From the outside, you couldn't really tell. It was there so radiation inside the box couldn't affect the wireless signal as much.

I can imagine some genius thinking it's a good idea to run a server from inside a cable or a connected home appliance.

That top picture made me think it was a camper bus (like EV.Buzz) but at a fraction of the price.

But, alas...

This could have led to lots of hijinks on "Red Dwarf."

OpenAI Is A Bad Business in c/[email protected]

Ed is getting good at lobbing these darts at hype bubbles.

The thing that this writeup ignores is that the object isn't to show short-term revenue, but to put all competitors out of business, be the last one standing, and create a monopoly. Either that or get bought out so the investors can move on to the next thing. But at $150B valuation, only MSFT or Nvidia can afford to buy them outright.

Google, Meta, and Amazon burned through cash for years, but they eventually outran all competition and then monetized the users who had nowhere else to go.

Incredible Drone Display is World’s Biggest Ever - Guinness World Records - YouTube in c/[email protected]

In earlier drone shows, they moved the drones into position to make the image they were going for, so navigation and collision avoidance was an issue.

With 7500, it feels like they can just set up a pixel grid in the sky, never move the drones (other than adjusting for wind), then just change the colors to get the image they need.

There were no flies, and very little fact-checking.

Let's wait and see if next week, anyone remembers this.

Conclusion: Tim Walz is just too nice a guy to say what needs to be said.

I'm getting one of those chargers installed at home next week. The giant mushroom cloud you might see is nothing to worry about.

Finally, a good use for drone and AI/ML technology!

From the maker of the poop-shooting laser turret and the AI/ML poop image detector.

VariPay: Surge-based salary calculator for HR (lemmy.ml)
 

From the makers of demand-priced car rides, concert tickets, and rents comes VariPay, a new Demand Based Salary calculator.

Instead of a fixed salary, employee income will be based on how much work there is to do, and when there is enough work, how efficient they were and how much effort they put into it.

The system is purely driven by AI, so nobody can accuse the vendor of favoritism. It runs continuously 24x7, making instant salary calculation updates no matter where in the world you live.

The service can automatically integrate with the previously announced AutoHR system, so firing and re-hiring replacement workers are handled with minimum friction. Efficiency levels can be charted in units of currency, aggregated worker heart-rate levels, or kilo-teardrops.

It comes with a management dashboard showing the amount of salary saved vs a traditional 'time-based' pay system. It also allows alarms to be set and parameters adjusted to accelerate cost-saving measures. Optional modules dynamically calculate management bonuses and maximize shareholder buybacks.

After years of feuding, the Giants have made peace with San Francisco’s seagulls (www.sfchronicle.com)

"As the ninth inning drew to a close at San Francisco’s Oracle Park on a recent afternoon, the mood in the stands was dour — the Giants were losing to the White Sox. But in the skies above the stadium, the real game was just getting started.

California and Western gulls glided overhead, scouting the bleachers for garlic fries and ketchup-smeared hot dog buns. The gulls soared steadily by the dozens as the bleachers emptied. Soon, the birds were left alone to engulf any leftover food they could find."

Apple, Google wallets to carry California driver's licenses (www.axios.com)
 

Not sure if true, but someone raised an issue when this was first announced. That you can no longer refuse to unlock your phone when stopped, since you'll have to unlock it to show your digital driver's license.
