As a New Englander, I am not surprised WBZ was the strongest AM signal available. Depending on the weather, you would hear callers from the Midwest and South regularly on a Boston-based station.

Any resources you could share here? I bought a Rabbit air filter years ago and it seems like it does fine. But since I did something similar to the OP here and started tracking my Awair air quality monitor in real time, I’ve noticed we have wild VOC levels in our roomy house and I can’t sort out what causes spikes, especially overnight. Some of it is probably due to the insulating and weather stripping mania I went through a while back and I’ve looked into getting an exhaust fan (whatever those things are called) to alleviate it but would like to know the source(s).

It is an interesting thought experiment: what things happen once the inertia cost to seeing how something works collapses to 0 for even a small number of your user base. Smart companies might give in now and open up their app even if only as a read-only repo. Dumb ones won’t even know to consider it. And the huge middle will wind up getting new UX ideas for free.

As a data point here, the people from Ting electrical monitors should really contact me. I used their app for a few days and then built something way cooler off of it and managed to run down what was causing our high electrical usage (the well pump serving an out of control ice maker). You can’t do this at any fine-grained level, but the well pump’s electrical draw was very recognizable by just having the data logged to SQLite in real time from the Ting api and then telling Claude when the pump went on and off.

EtA: I built a skill for it https://github.com/tclancy/ai-tooling/blob/main/skills/diagn...


What Ting api, I have a ting and thought it was completely closed.

But I do see someone has a HA integration, it just hit the cloud.


It’s a goofy thing. As best I remember you can just watch the api. But ping me at my email if you want details.

Why do you think this is a problem for Eliza?

She uses outlook.

I though she communicated through RF emissions from CRTs and other monitors.

The astronauts going to the moon reporting "we have two outlooks on the laptop here and neither work" will be funny for decades from now.

They make it up on volume.

Somebody have an agent go back and look at that Coldplay concert footage.

Oh same, same. They didn’t all land at once but I remember multiple times I ran import this because I was bored or finished at the end of a day and thinking, “Oh yeah, I figured that out since the last time.” To me, it was a formative document and I can’t say enough good things about it.

> Oh yeah, I figured that out since the last time.

It's incredible how every single thought you think it's yours was already had a bunch of times.


Just don’t download a car.

You wouldn't want to download a car, you would want to download a dozen cinnimon rolls. How ya doin?

You can writer solvers for bits of code and make them part of your test runs, I do that for gnarly bits, especially gnarly bits written by AI where the drift would not be obvious to me.

gopher obviously.
