It’s not an “if” detector, it’s a “how much” detector. It looks like it’s using the LED chamber to light the film in a consistent way, and then the phone camera measures the color change to quantify how much radiation it was exposed to.

Just… really research hard before you buy one. I’ve seen multiple stories of cats being injured or killed when safety features on a litter robot failed (or didn’t exist in the first place)


Aren’t we?


Right, what I was suggesting was that the fact that it makes sense both ways might have been the reason the inventor settled on that name, as opposed to ‘cabin logs’ or something else.


I’m curious whether that was intentional. The wiki article doesn’t give any background on the choice of name, so I’d say it’s entirely possible that the name is a play on Lincoln/linkin’.
It’s also super cool that they were invented by one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s sons! One biographer claimed that Frank’s middle name at birth was actually Lincoln and his mother changed it, so there’s a possibility of that being an inspiration for the name as well.
Great post, thanks!


Anybody that lives above other people and drops any heavy item on the floor intentionally is a dick, there’s no maybe involved here.


The main problem with the belly as a target in a self defense scenario is that it’s too slow. If you’re being attacked, you want to end the fight and escape as quickly as possible. Wounds to the belly kill via blood loss and sepsis, which takes at least several minutes during which the attacker can keep causing you damage.
The femoral artery in the inner thigh is what you want to aim for. Also, the tendons along the inner wrist are responsible for grip strength; if severed, that hand can’t hold anything. Take a good look at the anatomy of those areas and you’ll have a good start.
Your reaction times and agility from fencing will help you in a real fight, but the actual techniques not so much. Stick to slashing attacks, as stabbing can result in your blade getting stuck in or between bones.


One aspect to consider is exactly what data these devices are exfiltrating from your network. You usually can’t see the contents of the telemetry sent, but given that a LOT of smart devices have cameras and/or microphones, do you really trust that your IoT devices are not sending back audio and or video recordings of the inside of your house?


That’s an interesting point, and leads to a reasonable argument that if an AI is trained on a given open source codebase, developers should have free access to use that AI to improve said codebase. I wonder whether future license models might include such clauses.


I don’t know if poopreport still exists, but if you’re really interested in creative words for shit, that site is/was an absolute gold mine.
“It’s called colorized hyperspectral X-ray imaging with multi-metal targets, or CHXI MMT for short,” said project lead Edward Jimenez, an optical engineer
This guy isn’t allowed to name things anymore.
They build this picture from many other sources besides ad clicks, so the point is to obscure that. Problem is, if you’re only obscuring your ad click behavior, it should be relatively easy to filter out of the model.


Don’t forget Swiss Army Man!

15 square meters isn’t the same as 15m×15m, it’d be a little smaller than 4m×4m. Still a big hole.

You don’t even have to passive voice it - a simple “I felt upset” is fully valid without assigning blame.


It still falls back onto the driver, as they chose to start driving without everyone buckled in.
I wasn’t suggesting all automatic litter boxes are dangerous, only that some are. If someone is shopping for one, it’s important to be aware that not everything on the market is safe.
