Many many many years ago, I wrote an android app that allowed you to set the ringtone of the device you were ringing for that call (yes they had to have the app installed etc etc, and had given you permission to do it). I did release it but the market problem I had was that iPhone's ringtones were not something a client app could change, let alone in the background and even less so without direct permission of the user.

So anyway, if you want to do something like that, it's back to android I'm afraid. Don't worry, there's no patent and there's prior art (i.e. my usage). FWIW - the closest patent to it was made by a TV manufacturer that would allow you to find the remote control by playing a noise etc directed by the TV !

Here's a weird relationship between consecutive primes that I discovered while bored trying some python...

Take the last digit (in base 10) of consecutive primes. Now ignore 2 and 5 as .. well they only occur once, and look at the mapping between 1->3, 1->5, 1->7, 1->9 ... 3->1 etc etc..

You would think that they would pretty much all be equal, I mean primes are "random" right?

WRONG!

There are statistically significant differences in those edges, and no-one knows why.

It shows "state of mind" - i.e. the capability to understand another entities view of the world, and how that is influenced by their actions and other entities actions in the public chat.

I am curious about the prompt given to each AI ? Is that public ?

Without trying to digress, but why not make it modular too ? I.e. base model is a smart switch, one unit is the “base” unit and the rest talk to that. Possibly even add further switches, dials (thermostat or dimmer etc). Perfect placement in my opinion.

Yes - exactly this. If there are multiple needed, then some can be smarter/ more capable than others, but this removes the “just another box and cable(s)” issue.

My plea / request : Make a home assistant a DROP IN replacement for a standard light switch. It has power, its adds functionality from the get-go (smart lighting), it’s placed in a convenient position for the room and no extra wires etc required.

So I’m now predicting what the next captcha is going to ask…

Doesn't this kind of thing happen in every film regarding an AI becoming sentient ??

^ This.

100% (yes the literal 100%) of media regarding NFTs is purely about NFT art and it annoys the shit out of me. The fact that there is free form data (with some generally accepted fields used for consistency), and that this data can be owned and provably traced back to the originator is remarkably powerful Re: the poster's above example of a wedding certificate is a great example.

The most frustrating thing about this tech was the goldrush that happened and the inevitable crash. I view myself as something of a "pragmatic visionary" (yes self-proclaimed) and to see this tech completely abused was both confusing and crushing. I'm on the verge of releasing a platform that, underneath it all, uses NFTs because they have great use-cases, but none of the marketing material mentions it due to the fact that the media have wrecked the public's opinion of NFTs.

If I had to come up with an analogy, I would say that NFT art was akin to the Model-T coming out and the only use was people driving around a track and having a picture taken of them driving around a track. Yes you can do that but you've completely missed the point.

have I just been 0day'd ??
