    I see it supports many cameras, but you need to pull them apart and use a serial hookup to flash the firmware… but for the wyze cams and a few others you can flash them directly with an SD card.

    I liked how cheap the wyze cams were but desperately wanted to get them offline. This was my silver bullet.













  • If ANYONE had reproducible guidance on how to get positive value out of these systems… they’d be booming like NVIDIA. It’s another “during the gold rush, sell shovels” model.

    Raises an eyebrow that we’re not seeing it.

    I think these companies are sitting, waiting, and praying for an emergent use-case to reveal itself. They’re spending money to be prepared to corner a market that as-of-yet doesn’t exist.




  • Sometimes.

    In those cases, “there isn’t a yes/no answer to your question because…”

    I ask my jrs simple yes/no questions all the time.

    Did you open a PR? Does it pass the CI pipeline? Did you write a test for scenario X?

    I’m here to help you, but my time is unfortunately limited. If it takes half of our available time just to drag out of you where you’re at we’re all worse off for it.


  • Statistical distributions suck, especially when we want a clear-cut cause-and-effect silver bullet. My only sister has two autistic sons, and my wife and I were 7 years older than she was when we had our son and he isn’t autistic (as far as we can tell thus far).

    As a brother and uncle, I have incredible empathy for the desire and frustration to just get a clear answer on this. And I recognize these feeling however intense are orders of magnitude less than for a parent. It’s not like lead or asbestos or thaledimide or radiation.

    Best we’ve got is a confluence of factors, not the least being family history knowing full well how bad diagnosis has been historically.

    It’s so incredibly predatory to dump the science in the trash and just say “it was Tylenol all along”.
