  • I mean, the Flipper Zero is just a computer with a few radios built-in.

    I think the only one they share with most smart glasses is Bluetooth which might potentially have some vulnerabilities which could be exploited, but there are also expansion cards for the Flipper Zero that add everything from wifi and ethernet ports to high-powered IR blasters, so the real question is how vulnerable smart glasses are.

    And the truth is, they’re vulnerable by default because they rely on corpo servers to operate like any other “smart” device. Any flaw in the security of the glasses themselves barely holds a candle to the fact that they forward everything to Facebook or some other big tech brand name with a financial interest in monetizing your data.








  • This makes a lot of sense though, from the description it sounds like they’re trying to build an NPU out of memristors. We’ve been expecting them to show up to do this kind of math for a bit, since they’d cut a lot of redundant computation out of the layered matrix calculus that NPUs are optimized for if we can make them small, fast, and reliable enough.

    And it’s not just for “AI”. A lot of problems, like physics modeling or speech recognition, can be reduced to matrix math. An analog, programmable memristor network can do that kind of calculus almost passively.











  • how much more for the product/service would you be willing to pay for a human operator on the other side or conversely, how cheap would the non-human supported product/service have to be for you to choose it over the more expensive human supported option?

    Better question, how much is a company willing to pay me to use an LLM instead of going to one of their competitors?

    Because if the answer is insultingly small then I’m not patronizing them.
