  • Sell me this pen.

    Here WE have our latest advancements in manufacturing pens all combined in this new masterpiece. Made from the highest quality materials we could find this pen is made for those who need equipment capable of withstanding all weather conditions. This pen is not for those who worry about getting their hands dirty, its made for the explorers of our world, those who have a desire to advance humanity and are not afraid to go through hell for it and their mission should not fail because of some bad quality products. For just 10.99€ you too can become part of our global movement to advance humanity beyond its limits.

    Writing this felt horrible.





  • Yeah sadly it is paywalled, but I have been lucky enough to get access to it through my university.

    Heres what I found regarding your question in the article:

    Fig 1 illustrates Pulse-Fi’s system architecture which consists of three main components: data collection using commodity Wi-Fi devices, a CSI signal processing pipeline, and a custom lightweight Long Short Term Memory neural network for heart rate estimation.

    Fig 1:

    And this is the Setup they used to collect the ESP-HR-CSI Dataset (left site) and the one that other researchers used to collect the E-Health Dataset (right side):

    The parts on how they collected the data:

    A. ESP-HR-CSI Dataset
    We collected the ESP-HR-CSI dataset from seven participants (5 male, 2 female) in a room of a public indoor library. It was collected using two ESP32 devices, one as the transmitter and the other as the receiver. The sampling rate is 80 Hz, with a 20 MHz bandwidth with 64 subcarriers positioned at different distances. Each participant was measured at distances of 1,2 and 3 m for 5 minutes each. The participants sat in a chair between the devices and wore a pulse oximeter on their finger to collect ground-truth information as seen in

    B. E-Health Dataset
    The E-Health dataset [20] contains CSI collected from 118 participants (88 men, 30 women) in a controlled indoor environment measuring 3 m×4 m (Fig 4). The setup consists of a router set in the 5 GHz band at 80 MHz bandwidth as a transmitter, a laptop as receiver and a single-antenna Raspberry Pi 4B with NEXMON firmware for CSI data collection (234 subcarriers). Participants wore a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 for the ground truth.

    Each participant performed 17 standardized positions or activities, with each position held for 60 seconds.

    To me it sounds like, that they really just used standard WIFI to collect the data (this is especially true for the E-Health Dataset), since all the processing gets done on the Raspberry Pi.




  • I kind of did this to a friend of mine. We both got some 18 year old laptops that still run on x86 and we wanted to install Linux on them (arch specifically). We met at my place, and I started with trying to get it work. He meanwhile realised he needed something so I gave him my key and hopped into a skirt while he was away. When he returned I just turned ti him, made a “gun” with my fingers and said “I lied to you, I dont have Netflix. Take of your shoes, we are installing 32 bit Arch”. Funniest shit of my life.
