> which is a proprietary peer-to-peer layer that runs alongside your existing WiFi connection without dropping it. It uses a time-sliced channel-hopping mechanism so the radio can serve both infrastructure WiFi and the direct peer link simultaneously.

Maybe a network nerd can chime in - is this implementation so difficult that it's unrealistic we'll see an OSS version?


I think the thing that makes an OSS implementation more difficult than iOS/macOS is the friction involved.

Say you've got an android phone, windows PC, and a linux box, and you want to be able to quickly drop files from each one. unless we get some kind of cooperation across all three platforms at the OS level, you'd at minimum need to install some kind of client into each system - when the nicest feature of airdrop is that it's baked into all of Apple's OSs, in my opinion. even if it worked exactly the same way, but had to be installed, I think it would see less use - and there's no real way for a single OSS project to do that across multiple OS platforms, to my knowledge


Not an expert on mobile development but I doubt an android app has the low-level access needed to the wifi stack to do this.

This is awesome.

What are the odds a Raspberry Pi could keep up with BTrack?

https://github.com/adamstark/BTrack


Pi or pi pico? At first glance it looks like that software is designed for double precision floats. That would certainly be some compute. The M0+ doesn't have hardware floating point let alone double precision. The M33 on the newer chip I think has hardware single precision float so a simple find-replace should let it go.

If it's not doing anything else and the sample rates aren't outrageous it might be doable but I'd have to dig into the code more to see how much work they're doing per sample.


It's for the pico. RP2040 works fine, but RP2350 has a hardware FPU and much more processing capability, so supports more channels and filters

We’re talking about bike lanes, it seemed completely relevant to me?

Is there a reason you weren’t able to write the post yourself?

Vibe coder doesn't realize or denying he is a vibe coder, what other reason did you want

That list is super reasonable, FWIW.

No hate speech, no Nazis, no pornography, no weird screenshots, no spam.

Nothing surprised me, basically what I’d expect.


Thanks! We think so. :)

I would say that the simple reason is that writing is often artistic and coding very rarely is.

I don’t listen to AI music or watch AI videos, I don’t want to read AI articles


My guess is it's a bug on the App Store side which will actually hurt Headspace in the long run. If this was a casino app I'd feel a bit differently, but I'd be shocked if someone at Headspace did this deliberately.

I'm trying to imagine the headspace of a user who deletes an app, only to see it pop back the next morning. Probably not a very relaxing experience :)


> The packed sediments were then transported to the laboratory for further sorting. A program of sediment sorting, that lasted over two decades, included the separation of different types of categories: ostracods, mollusks, reptiles, amphibians, micromammals, fish and macrobotanical remains, in addition to different types of small rocks.

Incredible. They didn’t find intact hunks of charcoal (obviously), but instead they _sorted through sediment_ to find grains which they then identified under a microscope.

Archaeology is such a cool field.


> They didn’t find intact hunks of charcoal (obviously)

Coal itself is ancient and you can find large chunks of carbonized wood (not quite coal, still retaining its original form) that are millions of years old. There is no reason charcoal could not survive intact from any point in time that humans have existed and made fires.


Honorable mention to the great hockey puck mouse of the late 90s.
