I went looking for a remote-controlled power switch (the wireless christmas kind, not the modern IoT kind) and didn't find it, but I did find this thing I bought just to figure out why it exists.
It's a timer outlet, but you program it from your phone... but it's not wireless.

probably because iphone dropped the headphone port and they had to get with the 21st century and make it bluetooth

I guess the thing saves settings when turned off, because you have to unplug it to push the reset button.
Specs: up to 10 amps for a resistive load, and up to 5 amps for a tungsten load.

That's putting some serious trust in your SEO, man

although it tries to sell me a bunch of unrelated movies first?

one of my favorite things to do is to look up the ratings on IoT apps... they're never good.

make calls, and access all your files.
and if you deny it, it just dumps you in the settings page to fix permissions, with no message.


We've got a CPU and two smaller chips. Probably one is some kind of communication chip, and the other is a flash chip for storing settings?

L isn't connected... I think that means there's a version of this that can control two outlets at once, not just one.

I do like that they keep all the high-voltage AC stuff separate from the low-voltage DC stuff.
Cheaper versions of this would have just had one PCB.


AND IT'S AN 8051! EVERYONE TAKE A DRINK

because it has a battery, yeah.

because it can tell it's not connected properly, in this emulator I'm using

it sounds like (NO PUN INTENDED) it has a protocol of simple tones that it plays at the device.

android historically has had a AudioManager.isWiredHeadsetOn api which tells you if the 3.5mm jack is connected.
So it may just be detecting there's no headphones plugged in to my emulator.


CT is "current time" as an integer of how many minutes it is into the day, and CD is the day of the week.

(it's using Monday = 001, and counting up from there)

uhhh. I'm not sure I'm awake enough to figure this out, but... it starts by padding up to a multiple of 8 bits.

then it converts that to a binary number, and pads it out (on the left this time) to 8 bits
if it is, it adds a 1?

it's like a classic twilight zone episode.
in fact, it IS a twilight zone episode.
The Rip Van Winkle Caper, Season 2, episode 24.
Four criminals steal a million dollars of gold bars, then put themselves in suspended animation for a hundred years to hide from the law.
they wake up, then start killing each other from mistrust, then the last one dies in the desert, as he offers a gold bar to the driver of a passing car, asking for water and a ride into town
the confused driver walks back to his car with the bar, and his wife asks what the gold bar is.
he says something like "It's gold... they used to use this for money, before we figured out a way to manufacture it."
He tosses it away, and drives off.

There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.
You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.
But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.
And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.
They find their own way.
It’s the @reactjs framework devs rave about praising its power, flexibility, and dev experience
Don't feel like you're missing out!
Here's everything you need to know in 10 tweets
Let’s dive in 🧵

Next.js is a @reactjs framework from @vercel
It couples a great dev experience with an opinionated feature set to make it easy to spin up new performant, dynamic web apps
It's used by many high-profile teams like @hulu, @apple, @Nike, & more
https://t.co/whCdm5ytuk

@vercel @hulu @Apple @Nike The team at @vercel, formerly Zeit, originally and launched v1 of the framework on Oct 26, 2016 in the pursuit of universal JavaScript apps
Since then, the team & community has grown expotentially, including contributions from giants like @Google
https://t.co/xPPTOtHoKW

@vercel @hulu @Apple @Nike @Google In the #jamstack world, Next.js pulled a hefty 58.6% share of framework adoption in 2020
Compared to other popular @reactjs frameworks like Gatsby, which pulled in 12%
*The Next.js stats likely include some SSR, arguably not Jamstack
https://t.co/acNawfcM4z

@vercel @hulu @Apple @Nike @Google The easiest way to get started with a new Next.js app is with Create Next App
Simply run:
yarn create next-app
or
npx create-next-app
You can even start from a git-based template with the -e flag
yarn create next-app -e https://t.co/JMQ87gi1ue

I put it together a long time ago, and it was very helpful! I sliced it apart a thousand times until things started to make sense.
It's TensorFlow and Keras.
If you are starting out, this may be a good puzzle to solve.

The goal of this model is to learn to multiply one-digit
It is a good example of coding, what is the model?
