I went looking for a remote-controlled power switch (the wireless christmas kind, not the modern IoT kind) and didn't find it, but I did find this thing I bought just to figure out why it exists.
It's a timer outlet, but you program it from your phone... but it's not wireless.
probably because iphone dropped the headphone port and they had to get with the 21st century and make it bluetooth
I guess the thing saves settings when turned off, because you have to unplug it to push the reset button.
Specs: up to 10 amps for a resistive load, and up to 5 amps for a tungsten load.
That's putting some serious trust in your SEO, man
although it tries to sell me a bunch of unrelated movies first?
one of my favorite things to do is to look up the ratings on IoT apps... they're never good.
make calls, and access all your files.
and if you deny it, it just dumps you in the settings page to fix permissions, with no message.
We've got a CPU and two smaller chips. Probably one is some kind of communication chip, and the other is a flash chip for storing settings?
L isn't connected... I think that means there's a version of this that can control two outlets at once, not just one.
I do like that they keep all the high-voltage AC stuff separate from the low-voltage DC stuff.
Cheaper versions of this would have just had one PCB.
AND IT'S AN 8051! EVERYONE TAKE A DRINK
because it has a battery, yeah.
because it can tell it's not connected properly, in this emulator I'm using
it sounds like (NO PUN INTENDED) it has a protocol of simple tones that it plays at the device.
android historically has had a AudioManager.isWiredHeadsetOn api which tells you if the 3.5mm jack is connected.
So it may just be detecting there's no headphones plugged in to my emulator.
CT is "current time" as an integer of how many minutes it is into the day, and CD is the day of the week.
(it's using Monday = 001, and counting up from there)
uhhh. I'm not sure I'm awake enough to figure this out, but... it starts by padding up to a multiple of 8 bits.
then it converts that to a binary number, and pads it out (on the left this time) to 8 bits
if it is, it adds a 1?

THREAD: How is it possible to train a well-performing, advanced Computer Vision model 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗣𝗨? 🤔
At the heart of this lies the most important technique in modern deep learning - transfer learning.
Let's analyze how it
2/ For starters, let's look at what a neural network (NN for short) does.
An NN is like a stack of pancakes, with computation flowing up when we make predictions.
How does it all work?
3/ We show an image to our model.
An image is a collection of pixels. Each pixel is just a bunch of numbers describing its color.
Here is what it might look like for a black and white image
4/ The picture goes into the layer at the bottom.
Each layer performs computation on the image, transforming it and passing it upwards.
5/ By the time the image reaches the uppermost layer, it has been transformed to the point that it now consists of two numbers only.
The outputs of a layer are called activations, and the outputs of the last layer have a special meaning... they are the predictions!

In this thread, we will train an advanced Computer Vision model on a challenging dataset. \U0001f415\U0001f408 Training completes in 25 minutes on my 3yrs old Ryzen 5 CPU.
Let me show you how...
