I did it with a Pi, HomeAssistant, smart bulbs, and some Python, but it was not as good or as reliable as I'd like.

I wanted the lights to know what temperature and brightness to turn on to based on a schedule, but there wasn't a way for them to pull the desired state upon power-on; instead I'd have to detect power on and push a state change to the desired color temp. This meant they'd turn on at whatever last state they had on power-off, and a few seconds later (or frequently much slower) adjust to scheduled color temp.

This may have worked better had I used smart switches to turn lights on/off rather than wall switches that cut power to the bulbs, but I also had issues with the smart hub losing connection to bulbs occasionally, HA not reliably seeing power-on events for the bulbs, and HA losing connection to the hub. (Bulbs/hub were Ikea tradfri; perhaps other manufacturers' products are more reliable).

This was a couple years ago; I haven't looked into it much since - maybe it would be easier to do now.
Since you have written a book in the subject you obviously are much more of an expert than I am. After reading your book what materials would you recommend for someone wanting to reach the stage is bring able to implement their on "production grade" parsers?

Another thing I miss is the near-ubiquitous AppleScript support, at least in terms of major applications. As frustrating as AppleScript is as a programming language — speaking as someone who curses it on a near-weekly basis — it's still far easier to reliably automate applications using a reasonably well-defined object model than via UI automation, which is the only viable alternative for most current OS X applications. And for simple tasks, even a problematic common scripting language like AppleScript is preferable to needing to use a different scripting language for each application, even if these languages are, individually, superior.

As an alternative to the suggestions, some repositories include the inputs along with the problem descriptions.

This one has a fair bit: https://gitlab.com/BafDyce/adventofcode

Verifying your answer will be tricky though, since you won't know if someone else's code is correct for your input unless you find a repo that also includes the verified result.
As far as I remember there's Google, there's Bing, something that only works with Chinese, something that only works with Russian, search engines that barely work at all and a bunch of meta search engines, that use Google or Bing or both at the same time under the hood, like DDG, Searx, Startpage, etc.

So yeah, I'm down for more search engines. If there wasn't only one dominant one, SEO wouldn't be such a problem, either, I imagine.

I don't think the Librem 5 removes all the binary blobs either, right? From what I can tell, they're nearly identical right now in that regard, though I trust Purism to actually work on removing blobs, so maybe long term they're a better option.

are you asking how to generate radio-waves...? get an oscillator and an antenna. hook them together and you'll get radio-waves. the physics are that a changing e-field induces a changing b-field (and vice-versa).

the same antenna, if attached to an amplifier instead of an oscillator, will receive said radio-waves.

> Like with dumb-phone they can avoid cell-tower tracking

I don't think there's any kind of cell phone that can avoid being triangulated. I believe it has to do with call routing.

If that mechanism was completely removed, wouldn't there be no way for us to get phone calls, and calls would drop between towers.

Wouldn't a better way of exploring this be to begin at who is accessing the data and why? Businesses have a legitimate case to access their own information to provide a better experience, at the very least.

Also if it's a criminal / national security purpose, what's wrong with the idea of a big data / hay stack warrant, in certain circumstances? Isn't there some situations where it'd clearly make sense?

> The people that scoff at surveillance are an indicator that something is broken.

While there's probably always a case to improve things, when I read conversations on data privacy, I feel many don't want to draw nuance into the technical and legal specifics.

Regardless of society, isn't there always a certain kind of person, due to their upbringing, feels persecuted, though? Isn't there also a type of person who just raises a stink out of pure catharsis? Aren't they almost always ignorant of basics behind the law or technology of what they rant about, often both?

If it was really a sincere thing, why not go into details: e.g. For instance, GPS'ing a vehicle. State or federal law? What predicate / proof is needed? Is there a notification or redress? How long does it last? Any scoping/minimization? Is it supervised judicially or administratively?

While I think of it, maybe there's a reason these things are kept ambiguous, I guess in every country: I don't think people want organized criminal enterprises like mobsters, spies, drug lords, and terrorists gaming the system.

> State and corporate stalking must stop.

I don't think all government surveillance is the same. In most cases they seek authorization to access a private businesses data some how.

If someone is a "normal" consumer, a hospital patient, etc. I don't think the conversation is the same anymore. Wouldn't this be what most normal people care about?

For one, I hope subscriptions die. It's a pernicious trend that is borderline fraud for consumers (like gyms, profiting from users who simply forget to unsubscribe or making it painfully hard to unsubscribe). It's also exclusionary for most of the world for whom the subscription price might be a year's income. With downloadable software it was kind of possible to find a crack online, but web apps and content make it almost impossible.It also makes individual property ownership impossible. we need honest,anonymized payments on the web.

I find computer scientists have a stronger grasp on encodings than mathematicians, who tend to get bogged down in these details due to lack of familiarity. With what I wrote up, the point I failed to make is that it comes down to some cleverness in how you mess around with read, eval(=provable), and print. That is, follow the Lisp way and think in s-expressions.

I was responding specifically to

> All the rest, all the heavy lifting, is just cranking out the tedious details of what those mathematical operations actually are, but none of that is necessary in order to understand the core idea of the proof.

The thing I'm taking issue with is calling parsing the core idea, with the rest "just"[1] being tedious details, where, as someone who has done some PL implementations, the parsing seems to me to be the tedious part. It's an important idea that's essential to the proof, but, again, that's like saying parsing is the core problem in writing a compiler (or that writing read is the core problem in implementing a Lisp interpreter). This is not exactly evidence of any kind, but notice your whole final paragraph is a diagonalization argument, and it is longer than the first paragraph of your exposition, which quickly explains how strings can represent logical statements and proofs.

Maybe this is a synthesis: the core idea is that you can write an interpreter that takes an encoding of a logical statement and returns whether or not it is provable. Since the interpreter is itself a logical statement, you can apply a diagonalization argument to produce a true statement that refutes its own provability. (When I say the core idea is the diagonalization, I mean both the interpreter and the fixed point finding. When you say the core idea is encoding, I suspect you might mean more the interpreter than how your comment reads to me.)

By the way, with the halting problem argument, it seems like if you're very careful you can write out an explicit Godel sentence, like what the Lawvere fixed point theorem would provide. I'm sort of curious what it would look like, rather than your recipe for how to construct it. (I also wonder what the shortest Godel sentence is. But only as much as I wonder what the shortest quines are.)

> "The string corresponding to N has no proof"

Small correction: it's that "N being true is equivalent to N having no proof." If N is false, then it is provable (bad), so if things are consistent it must be true, hence unprovable. It's interesting that N is a true statement.

UK is probably the safest but it’s also bulky and presents an unlikely kind of danger: it tends to lay with the pins upward when on the floor which is deadly when stepping on them in the dark.

Why would you need a quantum computer to simulate behavior that has to do with quantum mechanics?
Faster switching speed for the equivalent breakdown, at least from an RF amplifier perspective. SiC was an interim until GaN was developed, and is essentially obsoleted now.

What’s interesting is how the DOD heavily invested in GaN technology in 90s and 00s, pushing the USA ahead of Japan in compound semiconductor. Weather that lead will stay; who knows. The Chinese have a GaN fab now. GaN is critical for RADAR and higher power SATCOM, so big defense support that has dual use for civilian wireless comms.

One missing point is the support for customers and partners. AWS and Azure provide amazing support experience which emulates and improve what Cisco, HP, IBM did in the Enterprise space many years before: TAC, Forums, certifications, partner ecosystem. When you have an issue someone will actually respond to it. I was interested in Google Cloud but their support was non-existent, seems to be that their leadership came from the consumer world where a person is just dumb and their product is always perfect. Specifically I had an issue with Firebase which I found the answer on Stackoverflow eventually (app was down for few hours because Google blacklist my environment by mistake). Since my company relies on high availability, we needed to work from day 0 with AWS on the design and have a person which would be available to respond to queries directly. Looks like with new Google CEO that's changing but just cares about large enterprises . With that in mind AWS and Azure to me will become a binary option.
My first thought was "it took them that long to realize this?!". Really with housing there is a history of absolute selfishness even to their own detriment across all economic and social strata.

Then again "tech bro" itself is a shibboleth of tribalism and ignorance in itself. As a community like all it has many things to criticize of varying legitimacy objectively and subjectively. Instead it is like the Greco-Roman "Barbarian" - an outgroup term broad to the point or uselessness.
For a little bit of context, Robert Lang is what you could call a "modern master" of Origami. He's one of the author who promoted a "whole vision" approach to model design, using lot's of circle/square packing and a very scientific methodology. He's also the author of several books (and some software!) to explain how to design your own models using his techniques.

One of the reason the last model is a new scale of complexity might be that it somehow use "old school" techniques: There is now collapse, no circle packing, it's just straight traditional (hard!) folding from start to finish. Creating such complex models from the traditional tools is usually really hard. It also has a certain elegance to it that is often very pleasing.
That is an uncommmon spelling there in the title
It doesn’t seem like any of those things would change anything except make the U.S. more unlikely to agree to a trade deal though.
I think subscriptions are fine; it is the banks that give power to corporations by making it impossible to control who bills your accounts.

The Daring Mission That Thwarted a Nazi Atomic Bomb
We don't need more search engines like google, we need a new kind of engines that will supersede google/bing/etc and break the following axioms:

* search engine is a cloud service, which is not controlled by user of that engine

* search gives final results in milliseconds (why? because google cannot spend many seconds/minutes for you, that's why)

* search creates information bubble (that user cannot control) because it tires to satisfy user's expectations

Most likely this new 'google-killer' will be:

* open source, because user should trust the code

* self-hosted (easily deployed in a click), not a cloud SaaS. Our search preferences have ultimate value, no one should have an access to it

* more useful than google because of accumulated data about you that are processed by computational knowledge engine (something like WolframAlpha)

* background reasoning - this engine can work continuously and utilize your own computational resources on notebook/PC and bring you brand new search insights that google never will be able to deliver (because they cannot dedicate a lot of computational resources for each google user).

Sounds good, isn't it?.. Maybe this kind of software already exists, could someone point me out?

Probably two things. On one hand, our theoretical understanding of quantum effects may not have come far enough to write a traditional simulation program. Or doing so would take years or even millions of years, or both.

Quantum computers can simulate things that are not possible with traditional computers. These problems are in the complexity class BQP. I want to point out though, that this is very likely a result of our limited understanding, and not something that is theoretically impossible.
