So I assume they can superimpose a blue dot on an AR camera view to show me where in the room the kids left the Apple TV remote (again).

I was telling my kids about this at the dinner table tonight and we were cracking up imagining our dog eating one of these trackers, and you open up the app and the blue dot is following the dog around. Why Milo, why?!



Inside of a dog, there's stuff that absorbs radio waves. It's not a good UWB environment.


UWB?


Ultra Wideband.

Did you read the article?


I read it, twice, and the distance between "UWB environment" and "dog stomach" was enough that my pitiful excuse for a brain didn't recognize it after 30 seconds, and required reading this comment to realize what it meant.

HN tends to assume a ton of charity in the comments section, "did you read..." style comments are highly discouraged


UWB was repeated 39 times in the article. At that point, the "did you read" question(with the assumption he didnt read) become legit


Also missed the Groucho Marx reference, "Inside of a dog it's too dark to read." Which is definitely true when you're depending on UWB to provide "light".


or Conan's AirPods commercial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_wImaGRkNY remember that "Quora" predicted Apple would be putting U1s in AirPods too
