Hint: Banking worked that way you think it should off and on for the last few hundred years and it always ends badly. Because fundamentally banks assets are held long while their liabilities are always short. The problem is mismanagement or changes in fundamentals, usually a bit of both can lead to a crunch. And that's just the way it is. And why banks are regulated and insured.

Input:
Tell me something about owls.

Output 7B LLama:
Asked by kimberly at 12:54 PM on May. 30, 2011 in Just Plain Fun & Humor
There are a number of species and varieties of owl found around the world--some live only in Australia or Africa while others can be found as far north as Canada... The one thing that all have in common is their ability to adapt. Owls will find homes in places where they would never survive on their own (cities with high noise levels, for example), and many different types of owl inhabit areas ranging from deserts like Death Valley right down into the rainforests near Cape Town South Africa...
Answer by mamasaurus at 12:56 PM on May. 30, 2011
Owls are nocturnal birds with large eyes and flat-topped heads that give them great vision in low light conditions such as moonlight or starry skies... Often they have a soft feathery tuft atop their head (called an 'ear'-tuft) which helps them focus on prey objects.. The ears are not really "ears" but rather

Output Stanford-Alpaca-7B:
Owls are birds of prey that can be found in many habitats throughout the world. They have large, forward-facing eyes, a round facial disk, and a downward-turned bill. Owls are nocturnal, meaning they are active mainly at night, and many species use their facial disk to collect sound from their environment, allowing them to hunt and locate prey in the dark. They mainly feed on small mammals, reptiles, insects, and birds.

More particularly, I would describe it as a "pointer to anything". The size of the value will be exactly the size used for pointers in the given system (e.g. 8 bytes).

If you happen to know what a void* is pointing to, you can cast it to another type like "my_struct_t*" and deference the value. I would call it a work around for C lacking true polymorphism.

Quite the opposite. The idea is to move as much of the business logic into the database. “Rel” definitions are meant to be written once and reused everywhere. Instead of letting the client decide different business logic every time, you capture and control it in one place.

> For one thing, timing is important.

So long as the amount of audio sent in a packet is larger than how long it takes the next packet to get there, you'll be transfering audio data faster than it is playing, making minor fluctuations in timing between packets irrelevant.

Bluetooth isn't used because BT audio transmission is lossy, audio gets recompressed. Newer BT standards have good quality compression, but you are still recompressing the audio. BT isn't meant to be a high bandwidth protocol.

BT's latency around audio is because 99% of BT implementations suck. Latency can be as low as 50ms or so, but it is often in the 100s or even 200s of ms.

I'm all for this effort, but this is not yet a compelling story. I've never had a problem getting a heat pump installed in prior homes. So if the market value is avoiding pain in hiring contractors... I simply have not felt that pain. Asking me to pre-order something that already exists when you have no physical prototypes feels like you are jumping the gun.

I do hope you succeed - I love heat pumps and want more of them to exist in this world. But not having a prototype yet and asking people what their ideas and experiences are feels like you are just starting market research, not that you are in a place to be taking orders.
As a backup option, the incumbents already make this. Carrier Infinity is a good example. Proprietary protocol (RS-485 based, so it can run over existing thermostat wiring) between the smart thermostat and the furnace, and between the furnace and outside condenser unit. Even with all these smarts, there is still a fallback mode provided with a regular old dry-contacts control wires that can hook to any standard thermostat. Yeah, the system won't operate at peak performance, but it will operate, and that's very important when every HVAC tech carries a standard thermostat with them, or even uses basic jumper wires, in an emergency until they can return with correct parts.

> 1s have weight compared to 0s

This is a simplistic view how memory and data transmission systems work.

Even in days of yore it took a schematic to figure out whether bits were being stored as "lots of electrons means a 1, few electrons means a zero", or the inverse.

Modern memory systems and fast serial buses often use whitening to reduce noise and improve clock recovery. A 1 is a 1 when the CPU decides it's a 1, and even then its physical representation is not necessarily static.

It's strange seeing this post describe heat pumps as if they're a new thing, and everyone commenting as if they are.

I live in New Zealand and heat pumps have been standard in new builds for just about 20 years now. They're great. If you want to add one to your home you can call up various companies to do it for reasonable prices (not sure how this stacks up against US prices, but I recently had a small 2.5kW cool/3.2kW heat mini split heat pump installed in my office room for $1,200USD including labour). It helps that we have relatively mild seasons, with it getting just a little too cold in winter and a little too hot in summer - pretty much the ideal environment for a heat pump.

I have never seen a residential home in NZ with a furnace or a pure air conditioner (that can't also heat). The standard installed system before heat pumps was a wood fire or sometimes gas heaters. In summer you just put up with being hot.

Re smart thermostats, I've been in many homes with heat pumps and never seen one. Everyone just uses the controls in the heat pump remote. They all have the option to cool to a certain temp, heat to a certain temp, stay at a certain temp, and set a start/stop time. Basic but generally good enough.

Re ducted systems, my experience is they never seem quite as efficient or effective as just installing two totally separate mini split systems. Which is also usually cheaper and has the added bonus that you can only run one if you're not in the other part of the house.

Looking at your wall unit, it looks really nice, but can that front face tilt to blow air either up or down?

I have a 10 line C# script which manages my notes. It's pinned to my Start menu. When I run it, it ensures an .md file for the current day is created in the folder for the current day, which is in the folder for the current month, which is in my notes folder, then opens VSCode on my notes folder with today's file focused. This is the bare minimum note structure which I can then break out into multiple files or move things to long-running folders as needed. VSCode is an excellent note taking tool in general, with extensions such as draw.io support or auto pasting images into Markdown.
It could be anything from a regression to DL, to who knows what else.

Even in the simple case, say a linear regression with all the assumptions satisfied, predictions are interpretable as means, which is to say that (and again, assumptions holding, errors are normally distributed) half of observations fall below the mean and half above it. Using the mean in a normative capacity implies that half of patients will get kicked out before they would otherwise end their treatment.

There are ways around this, like quantile regression, or using prediction intervals, but again, we don't know the specifics of the method which leaves us in the dark as to the specific way the problem manifests.

> I get it provides some future proofing assurance

I don't think you're getting it, and a lot of us around here want you to. If I were actively researching heat pumps (a thing most homeowners do before dropping 4-5 figures on ANY hardware), if you are locking me into your ecosystem -- or even have the appearance of locking me into your ecosystem -- your product is not getting onto any short list from me or likely anyone else around here.

All of us -- every tech person who has ever gotten into home automation in a real way -- has thrown out some hardware rendered useless by a company. We've already seen this play out. You're an unknown and so are the riskiest kind of company to buy into.

You need to get this -- deeply -- if you want to sell to this market. The pull quote above makes me want to run for the hills.

Yeah, but then the primary host inherits the uptime requirements of a NAS and this gets really awkward when you have workflows in different operating systems that both want to use the fast storage. Both OSes can access thunderbolt, of course, but only one can be a good server. Now that I've experienced the separation of concerns that comes from an independent NAS I do not want to go back.

Please consider on-boarding to Home Assistant.

Avoid proprietary protocols to communicate between sub-systems as much as possible.

The system should be self contained from the start and must be able to function without a local network & internet.

Do not require internet connectivity, a hub, or some intermediary solution if a third party system (such as Home Assistant) wants to communicate to the system.

My biggest fear is attempt to lock me into an ecosystem that charges me a monthly fee to just exist, while selling data about me. No promise will make this fear go away, as consumers mistreated many many times in the past. Show it through your open design.

Good luck.

I'm surprised at the number of people here complaining about venvs in Python. There are lots of warts when it comes to package management in Python, but the built-in venv support has been rock solid in Python 3 for a long time now.

Most of the complaints here ironically are from people using a bunch of tooling in lieu of, or as a replacement for vanilla python venvs and then hitting issues associated with those tools.

We've been using vanilla python venvs across our company for many years now, and in all our CI/CD pipelines and have had zero issues on the venv side of things. And this is while using libraries like numpy, scipy, torch/torchvision, etc.

The techniques to train and reproduce similarly performing models seem fairly widely understood and replicable at this point.

My wife (who invested heavily in the aesthetics and interior design of our home) shared the same concern. We decided to do it anyways, and though they're certainly a little ugly, they blend in and just sort of go away. It helps that they're fairly close to the ceiling.

The remotes aren't lying around. They all have wall mounts that we placed near the light switches and ceiling fan remotes. With the units being programmed, though, you don't often have to mess around with them anyways. Unless you're the sort who likes fiddling with the temperature and fan speed.
I think you're misreading the OP slightly. There's no cross-compatible system for variable equipment, which is why the OP says you can't use variable speed equipment with Nest. Nest is basically a really fancy switch only. To use variable speed equipment, you have to use your manufacturer's proprietary system. I'm not positive this is right, but I'm pretty sure it's backed up by https://www.pickhvac.com/central-air-conditioner/extras/comm...

So basically, the premise of this product is that the proprietary system they design will be nicer than the proprietary systems HVAC manufacturer's design. That's probably true, but as an owner of a Carrier proprietary system, it's totally fine.
I don’t think Ansible is a good solution. It’s kinda a meh middle ground between reproducible system (which is hard to actually do well with Ansible) and simply using backups/snapshots. Ansible introduces a lot of overhead, but does not provide particularly strong reproducibility guarantees. There’s no really advantage to treating config differently from data unless you want to use revision control (and simple backups are not enough) or have some tricky config generation to do.

In a lot of cases, especially if you are gonna be moving between machines, rather than scaling horizontally, your machines don’t need to be reproducible. You can just restore a backup and tweak the new stuff (network configuration, etc). This gets rid of an entire class of complexity and lets you just do things once (rather than figuring something out and encoding into config management DSL).

If you actually need reproducibility, then it makes sense to go all the way. Something like NixOS provides stronger guarantees than Ansible. There is definitely a larger learning curve than Ansible though.
If you haven't tried out AstroNvim v3.0 yet over the past couple years when you were playing around with AstroNvim I would definitely recommend trying it out. The new v3.0 release made a lot of improvements to the configuration structure to decrease abstraction and make things easier. Although, if you have a setup that you like with NvChad that's definitely a good approach as well. All comes down to personal preference.

Great point. You don't source from the same spot you source combustion air - you run a separate fresh air intake. This system has HEPA, fresh air intake and humidity control packaged/integrated together well. The fresh air wouldn't come from a garage or crawl space, but from the outdoors via a dedicated (small) duct.
