My side project now is a websockets based dashboard that acts as a todo list for my easily distracted children in the morning. The tv remote is an lg one that can be used as a mouse, and they pop the tasks on the screen. I used chatgpt to generate some kawaii style stickers (think big eyes and sparkes). They love it. The reward is (in the morning at least) however many Blueys they can watch before the predetermined departure time.

A few improvements to go, but from what I hear from other parents (without raising it) is that they'd take advantage of something like this.


Sounds very cool! Are you displaying this on a dedicated screen or using an app on a lg tv?


Just using the TV web browser. Do you have kids? Mine are so easily distracted in the mornings. It spawned from the bewilderment of them having so few jobs to do in the morning (compared to us parents) and the complete lack of focus



Hopefully OP is going to give them some (a lot of?) money, considering there's a promiment link to Product Hunt that says "Launching soon", and nothing on today's Internet is made just for fun anymore, but for $$$$.

Oh yeah the ATC radio is also directly from liveatc.net servers, which says on their site: "NOTICE: Third-party use of LiveATC live audio streams is prohibited." and this site probably violates many points on https://www.liveatc.net/legal/ (unless, OP did get their permission to do this...).


OpenAI et al have taught us that breaking millions of website ToCs is completely meaningless.

Soma rightfully seem to have just enabled CORS though after seeing this traffic spike.

Edit: And now OP just started proxying around it, hilariously adversarial when embedding a donation-based service.


This appears to be

SomaFM https://somafm.com/groovesalad/

plus

LiveATC https://www.liveatc.net


Ah, that explains the good music selection!


Yeah these days I just go to LiveATC and start my own choice of music before I start my day. I used LofiATC and it gave me this hobit.

Judging by what happened to LofiATC though, it seems LiveATC was not fond of this kind of things.


That's some strange UX! Usually a drop down without a button would be associated with an affirmative choice in this day and age.


I agree, I would add a default "nothing" entry in the drop down and enable both ATC feed and the music when an option is clicked.


Will try to enhance that one, thanks for sharing feedback


That or move the toggle up closer to the drop down, though then you have to consider moving the volume slider


I don't think it's that low of a bar. Threads benefited from easy account creation and promotion from Instagram (2b MAU?)

Bluesky started from word of mouth invite only


Yeah, getting anywhere near what the major tech companies are capable of should be understood as a triumph.

Does anyone remember now Spoutible? Substack Notes? How about Spill, Hive, or Post? Being even with in anything approximating striking distance of Threads would have been a triumph for any of them.


Sounds similar to how it works here in Australia


Blame governments for regulating medical devices? You're going to need a better argument than that. This is entirely on Apple not applying for regulatory approval.


Is that even the case? Did they not apply anywhere else? Do they even qualify anywhere else? This wouldn't even have been possible under US law until recently.

If Apple tried to do this in the past in the US, they would have made it illegal to buy AirPods without a prescription, which is obviously a regulatory nonstarter.


Maybe I missed it but did you make or buy the Faraday cage?


We built it ourselves actually!

The first prototype was just aluminium foil, tape and hope, but we wanted something more solid so we built one out of n°100 copper mesh and some 2020 aluminium extrusions!


You can use a microwave oven as a very cheap faraday cage. Just don't turn it on.


The door of a microwave typically doesn't form an RF-tight seal. Instead there's a groove that forms a resonant trap at the microwave's operating frequency. So it'll probably block 2.4-GHz ISM-band stuff like Bluetooth (I don't actually know how wide the trap band is compared to a BT or wifi channel), but outside that band all bets are off.


I assume he needed it to have a small opening in the cage to shove the Raspberry Pi through it (to broadcast new SSIDs)


You are replying to the article author. He knows you can use a microwave oven as a very cheap faraday cage. He tried that, but it wasn't good enough.


What an experience! Can I ask your role in visiting?


Basically I work on experiments (balloons and in-ice) that are attempting to detect ultra high energy neutrinos interacting in ice sheets via radio.


This continues to be one of the cooler ongoing projects that produces significant, physical results. Good luck finding the special neutrinos!


I'm not sure how this isn't being news here!


Unisuper is not a famous company, most HNers probably have never heard of it.


But I believe Google is a famous company. And they're the ones who screwed up!


This. It's because everyone is busy backing they data up to another cloud.
