In case the author of the post reads these comments… Thank you very much for sharing this with us. My daughter had leukemia (ALL) at a young age - your post gives me a glimpse into how she might have experienced the treatment. She was too young at the time to be able to describe her how it felt.

How did you reverse engineer the signal?

I’ve looked at a product called Bond that seems to facilitate it. But haven’t yet tried it.

This annoys me too. My Casablanca fans have a wall switch which is hard wired to power only for on/off, but the fan and light controls are sent via a radio frequency signal. The most frustrating part of this, is that the RF transmitter inside the wall switch is battery operated. I have to unscrew the wall switch a couple times a year to get to the batteries.

Nice job on the app and the website. It looks really good.

I have a Bosch induction range and it doesn't immediately turn off the "burner" or beep when the pan is lifted up, so yeah I can tilt the pan.

Do you feel any remorse for how this contributes to climate change?

Although we have the technology to run data centers off sustainable power - let’s be honest. Anthropic and OpenAI have not made any climate pledges that I know of.

I don’t see how a social network for AI bots benefits society at all. It’s a complete waste of a very valuable resource.

In other words, we’re burning the planet for this?

I feel the same way.

I don't think the problem is with LED lights in particular, it's really the "color temperature" of lights and brightness or "lumens" are two high. Old incandescent lights could have also been too bright (think police car lights shining into your eyes).

But I generally agree - ever since I got PRK eye surgery ultra white car lights are hard for me to handle. My wife has always been sensitive to light (she has lighter eyes), so that goes to show that there's certainly a range of tolerance for this and it's really a safety issue.

Inspections are a good idea, but I'd like to see some control over what can be sold to prevent the installation in the first place.

I also expect local LLMs to catch up to the cloud providers.

I spent last weekend experimenting with Ollama and LM studio. I was impressed at how good Qwen3-Coder is. Not as good as Claude, but close - maybe even better in some ways.

As I understand it, the latest Macs are good for local LLMs due to their unified memory. 32GB of RAM in one of the newer M-series seems to be the "sweet spot" for price versus performance.

I got this error too.

Tried restarting zed and restarting my computer, but neither resolved it.

Great idea. I am considering buying one for my refrigerator and furnace.

Are you planning to charge a monthly fee? I’d be open to that, but it would be nice to not pay for more than the hardware. I.e. build the operating costs into the cost of the initial purchase
