Sounds really good, will have to give this a try

3 noses, 2 feet, 1 tail; at least that’s what I can see.

So I was trying to think how I’d implement it, and I agree if it’s simple then it really only needs to set the brightness level once, then remember if the user adjusts it, and reuse that adjustment for every lux reading.

Hence the example I gave:

Take the ambient light level (lux).
Set brightness to 5.
Log that the user has made it 1 level or 10% darker.
Next time it senses the same lux level, set the brightness 1 level lower

Well shucks, I guess Samsung lied to me! I see adaptive brightness was released as part of Android Pie in 2018.

Yeah, I was thinking it could be machine learning in that it takes the average of all your changes over time and the different ambient light levels.

But deffo no need for neural networks.

I totally agree with you.

However there is one smart feature Samsung has that I like. The screen brightness auto adjusts based on the ambient light, but if I change that automatic brightness (I prefer the screen darker) it will remember that and consistently adjust the brightness.

I’m not sure it’s really an AI feature…

Take the ambient light level (lux).
Set brightness to 5.
Log that the user has made it 1 level or 10% darker.
Next time it senses the same lux level, set the brightness 1 level lower

I think it’s generic and not genetic 🧬

Gaming chairs are a great example; you can often find the same exact chairs for hundreds of dollars cheaper by getting them as an office chair

One could say the overpriced gaming chair with some fancy colours contradicts the “get what you pay for rule”.

It’s definitely comfy 😂

I totally agree with you, I’d much rather read some bullet points then sit through a video.

I think YouTube automatically generates transcripts already, and GPT can summarise text easily.

We’ll get an AI to caption and then summarise the transcript of the video that’s 8 mins long because the user (understandably) wanted to monetize the video.

I wonder if this was Google’s plan all along …

He must be aware of the parallels between Twitter and MS?

He must be just generating publicity for himself.

This is neat solution, you’ll lose the laptop WiFi internet access though.

You can set the pi to connect to the phone WiFi by editing files on the SD card (using your laptop)

Pi4 with 2TB SSD running:

• Portainer
• Calibre
• qBittorrent
• Kodi

HDMI cable straight to the living room Smart TV (which is not connected to the internet).

Other devices access media (TV shows, movies, books, comics, audiobooks) using VLC DLNA. Except for e-readers which just use the Calibre web UI.

Main router is flashed with OpenWrt and running DNS adblocker. Ethernet running to 2nd router upstairs and to main PC. Small WiFi repeater with ethernet in the basement. It’s not a huge house, but it does have old thick walls which are terrible for WiFi propogation.

How did people put these things on, I guess there’s a hinge* somewhere?

I’m still on an early gen Chromecast and never see any adverts. Very occasionally crashes (once a fortnight).

If I’m struggling to sleep because I have a lot on my mind I’ll just read until I’m sleepy again - otherwise I end up getting more and more stressed.

People take good drugs to reach that state of not thinking about things!

I don’t know if you’ve already looked but this site is my favourite for this kind of question.
