I work in the Steel industry doing process metallurgy work. A lot of people I graduated with ended up similar places (Mining industry, Copper/Aluminum Smelters etc). I know a few people who got involved with Non-Destructive testing (NDT) industry and places like that. I know one person who ended up in Nuclear sector.

At the time I was studying nanotechnology was the projected next big thing in materials science but that industry never really took off like people were expecting it to (there was certainly no nanotech jobs boom like people were projecting). I was personally interested in electrochemistry, battery technology etc but I was about 10 years too early for the Renewables/EV boom, so timing wasn't really right.

I think nowadays Hydrogen energy sector and Renewables more broadly are the big growth areas.

Not discounting the authors experience, as it mirrors mine to a large degree, but he overlooks the people for whom it is good enough. I think about my mother and my uncle. My uncle just wants a way to read the news, weather, or sports scores or maybe watch a second ball game on that while he watches another on the TV. For my mom, it's perfect as a frequent traveller.

On the other end, my daughter is on her way to being a professional artist of some kind. She has done many illustrated novels of her own creation. It's absolutely the perfect device for her needs.

While mine does collect more dust than it should, like others in this thread I've found it very handy for sheet music and recipes. I like to use it as a small TV when I'm cooking too. It's handy for lots of odd tasks.
The issue with smart home is it's mostly a solution in search of a problem. Ring was a rare success because it was solving a real, pre-existing problem.
The trouble is, the stuff that's any good requires planning, wiring, and installation. Nest's thermostat doesn't even need a separate power source, so it can be sold at Home Depot.

As I've pointed out before, home IoT ought to include duct damper controls, vents and fans to the outside, and sensors which measure temperature, humidity, CO2, and maybe other pollutants, both inside and outside the house. Then they can use outside air when appropriate. You can buy all that. It's common in commercial building control. Honeywell and Johnson Controls, old-line building control vendors, sell this stuff. It requires some engineering for each building. That's why it's rarely seen in homes.

Some years ago I went to an IoT meeting in the Dogpatch area of San Francisco. The meeting was in a big room on the waterfront, in a refurbished industrial space. The room had skylights with glass vents that could be opened and windows onto the Bay that could be opened. Both were controlled by a manual endless chain, which could have been motorized without too much trouble. There were ceiling fans, and a standard dumb HVAC system. None of this stuff was interconnected. With a big group in there, it should have sensed rising CO2, opened some of the windows, cranked up the fans, and run the room without active HVAC until sunset. Then it should have gradually closed the windows as the room cooled, kept the ceiling fans turning over, and added some heat. Once everyone left, it should have briefly ventilated the room thoroughly, then closed up everything, stopped the fans, and let the room cool down to 60F or so while unoccupied. But no.

That's building automation.

Hotels go for this stuff, because they have big energy costs and a huge range of occupancy, especially in function rooms.
I genuinely don't feel bad for StackOverflow. It's a toxic community. Good riddance.
If you’re referring to Nyxt, I’ve been using guix to install it, and it takes care of all the dependencies, including getting them right so that connecting to Nyxt’s swank server can be done from emacs.
>I’m sure most people are willing to pay M2-level premium for a fanless, cool, performant laptop with very long battery life.

Of course, running Linux should show very different performance.
The game changing idea behind eBPF is XDP in my opinion.

Lots of network drivers and NICs support offloading XDP programs ("xdp_prog") to the network controller's chipset, which results in zero CPU i/o interrupts if you e.g. use an XDP_DROP to block traffic.

Being able to block network traffic _before_ it reaches even kernelspace is a game changer.
For the purposes of understanding the way people act, it is important to focus on what they believe to be the truth, not what the truth is.

Software development is incredibly opaque by default (heck, even we don't know how far along we are, most of the time) so anything that improves that will be perceived as improved productivity.

But even if it's not, sometimes progress reporting (however rough) is needed to synchronise with other parts of the organisation. It just needs to be put into a form that is useful (e.g. for agile projects "percent of plan delivered" is not a useful metric) and how it's going to be used should be explained to those producing it. Heck, optimal is if the people making software and the people they need to coordinate with can get together and jointly agree on what type of reporting is actually meaningful for both parties.

Almost always, we're discussing vanity metrics though.
supporting something and not spending extra effort to block it are two different things, google only needs to do the second one here

There’s absolutely no need to build them yourself, there is a need to simply not buy always-online vendor-lockin devices. It’s not something for people who don’t know about computers or can’t run their own mini-server like an rPi, but it’s still far easier than building something yourself: https://home-assistant.io

The amount of command and control that goes along with a modern high end North American home with basement HVAC, under floor heating, etc. has appeal outside of this crowd and outside of home use.

I deal with a lot of small to large farm | market garden | light business queries and many people are interested in fully digitally metred water (scheme + bore) | power | gas usage with fine control on reticulation, powered machines, furnaces, etc.

There's less interest in voice controlled automation and far more in fully logged + spreadsheeted resource usage and scheduled operation patterns.

There's keen interest in early notification of failures, leaks, spikes, etc.

This overlaps "home" in the sense that many of these queries are coming from people that live where they want these systems.
It has Go style concurrency, look for `core.async`. Maybe it could have been said that it wasn't lightweight enough and that would have been due to the JVM not providing the primitives but they're here now under the name "Virtual threads".
Having predictability and observability is key to a business though, as higher level decision need to be made based on progress of the lower level teams.

I'm not sure if it would be too complex but setting up pihole on a raspberry pi could be interesting for him. The benefit is that it's a network wide adblocker so it does have practical use.

The solution to the problem of centralization that Bluesky has been touted as tackling (and that Mastodon doesn't deal with in a satisfactory way) doesn't look anything like Bluesky or Twitter or Mastodon. Instead, it's just making RSS (read: Atom) suck less.

I dont know about all that. But as someone who had just started with stack overflow (begun actually posting/participating)… it died for me the moment I discovered the GPT playground and eventually chatGPT. These days I use Bing Chat as my coding mentor. My theory is it takes less energy for the user to get what they need from an LLM tuned for code then any alternative. Luckily there will be users who have different needs than choosing the path of least resistence who ennjoy the community and challenges and I salute them, and looking forward to joining them when my needs change. It seems there are a contingent of people suffering "rubber band" effect where LLMs are concerned; "oh its just.."… "...hype...", "...boring...". No, it is AGI now already.

It assumes that company owned and managed phones are more common that people who are unwilling to connect to the internet to unlock their bootloader. Which is definitely true. Probably by several orders of magnitude. Who cares? You get to unlock your bootloader.
Oh, I see where you're coming from. Yes, quite right. I'm definitely not saying "Well, he must be right because he's a super smart Google researcher."
The problem with GPT in general is it lacks any understanding of what its saying. It sounds plausible if you don't have the background, simply because its been trained on a vast corpus of material. It hallucinates (lies) too.

When you talk about decentralized decisions, its all fine to generalize that, but what does that actually mean. It means different things to different people in a very complex unmapped system. Simply doing what it says ignores a great number of outcomes, and will fail when being adopted in any highly concentrated business sector. Failure can mean a lot of things, but when dealing with existential issues, it means death because that is what's on the line.

UBI will also fail, because you don't know what you need to do until the time to make that decision has already come to pass. Liquidity freezes up if theres too little currency, and inflation runs rampant if there's too much. That's the nature of a lagging indicator.

There are also further deviations that are unpredictable, and they end in shortages (i.e. a traffic accident causes a shipment to be lost).

Shortages of electronics not a big deal. A 1-month shortage of food will wipe out most countries. People don't sit by and starve.

Technological advancements (aka using computers) will never be able to correctly identify different outputs from the same inputs. Its called the decidability problem. Computers rely upon problems having deterministic answers (fundamental computation, and automata theory). You can approximate some signals with non-determinism but you run into a whole host of other problems (i.e. halting).

Sustainability and resilience mean different things to different people. Same problem as the last point.
Sometimes things pop too much with path tracing! I like some of the better ambient lighting within shadows, and I agree about your "fullbright" thing. I always felt they could have just fixed the materials there though. But bright neon lights (which are everywhere) give off too much bloom with path tracing. The lights themselves feel too hazy and unrealistic, despite them being more technically real. I think lights that you're looking at directly need to be tuned for path tracing purposes better. I felt there's areas at night where path tracing was ruining the atmosphere created by artists without path tracing in mind.

None of this matters when they ban you.
I really wish we just did ipv4 on 64 but addresses. IPv6 is nearly a totally different paradigm, and has lead to adoption pain. Biggest being usability taking a back seat. People are being forced into using ipv6 not cause they want to, but from ip space exhaustion.
New things will still be documented, which LLMs can digest. The documentation may have been auto-generated by a different LLM, no problem.

Incorporating recent info into an LLM (fine tuning) is a solved problem.
IMHO - and having messed about with this stuff for years - the best way to go for smart home stuff is only use devices that use MQTT over WiFi. I use Shelly branded devices which I've found to be quite good and pretty open.

ZigBee just seems way too unreliable. WiFi devices have - for me at least - been rock solid in terms of reliability, while ZigBee stuff randomly disappears or needs to be relinked all the time (and it is hard to debug when this happens, unlike just pinging an IP on your LAN)

Home assistant et al are typically overkill and another point of unreliability. Just run Mosquitto (MQTT broker) locally and run a local NodeRed instance if you need anything sophisticated in terms of logic.

Since you are using MQTT it is trivial to write your own app for controlling everything from your phone. Use tailscale if you need to do things when off-LAN.
So it means that this temporal information can be used without upscaling to improve quality instead of mixing it with upscaling reducing it.
Are you able to tell when it is hallucinating?

> Before public-key cryptography came around, key distribution was a really messy manual process,” Cerf says. “It was awful, and it didn’t scale. So that’s why I didn’t try to push that into the Internet.

I dont really think this is a mistake. Its not like there are great options even now for end2end security on the transport layer (like we have vpns but they mostly require having preshared secrets). It would have been pretty impossible back in the day and added a lot of friction

When you search a city it shows its location at the time. I thought it probably just takes in the coordinates but to my amusement, it actually pins the location based on the tectonic plate that the city is on. So it can't show Seattle of 470 million years ago because that tectonic plate didn't go as far back. Intriguing!
>That's a really strange thing to see here on HN. Where did you get this idea?

Why is this strange? I see this kind of ignorant nonsense here all the time.

This site is absolutely full of software people who, because of Dunning-Kruger, think they're experts at everything technical. Electrical engineering isn't that far from the software world (computers are electrical, and their design is within the EE world), so software people frequently think they're experts at anything EE when in fact they don't even understand Kirchoff's Laws, much less the realities of modern-day AC and DC power transmission.

There's been multiple discussions here in recent months with these people advocating absolutely idiotic stuff like a whole-house 5V DC supply, showing they don't even understand Ohm's Law.

On a side note, it's very frequent that I see posts here from people who apparently have never heard of an ad-blocker, yet are complaining about ads.

> cancel this command

That reminds me of Siri on my tablet the other day. The prompt wouldn’t go away. Firstly, why doesn’t it have a timeout??

I was using the display for CCTV and didn’t want a Siri overlay.

I tried “hey siri, cancel”, “hey siri, I don’t need anything”, “hey siri, what is 2 plus 2” (thinking it hadn’t detected an end state) etc.

Then I googled it. Turns out you have to be semi rude: “hey siri, go away”.

I was sick at the time and I had zero patience and I swear to god I nearly smashed the thing.
For the record, I'm agreeing with you; the hype and marketing for CP 2077 was the most intensive and pervasive campaign I have seen for a video game in a long time.

The game failed to deliver on a lot of counts, and this is coming from someone who suffered through Witcher 3 at launch, running at 40 FPS on a tiny notebook with a GTX 860M. Even through these issues, that game was fun. CP 2077 just... wasn't.
It is a studied phenomena what conditions are required for optimal growth and learning.

As long as subscriptions are the 'future' this will never happen. Thus only onerous home brewed bolt together solutions are really available to the consumer.

The extremely rich, or hospitality corps have the benefit of hiring a specialist MSP for all of this, that can wrestle all the disparate pieces together, with the financial muscle to get what support they need from their OEMs.
ChatGPT is (currently) like having an incredibly fast junior engineer working for you. You can ask it to do tasks for you and it will do them quickly, but you need to check its work. Sometimes it will be perfect, sometimes it will be right with a little more prompting, and sometimes it is completely wrong.
Adoption seems much better than expected considering most major brands already have a bunch of devices that support it, and it hasn't been that long since spec v1 came out. Plus there's still a whole slew of device categories not yet supported until spec v2.

The first example —- with the linear regression —- is a toy problem which sets up the second example. I.e. the method works for both. You could solve the toy problem in much simpler ways in isolation but it wouldn’t help explain the second example.
XNS, which predates TCP, had 96-bit addresses. "IDP uses Ethernet's 48-bit address as the basis for its own network addressing, generally using the machine's MAC address as the primary unique identifier. To this is added another 48-bit address section provided by the networking equipment; 32 bits are provided by routers to identify the network number in the internetwork, and another 16 bits define a socket number for service selection within a single host."
Think of the network number as corresponding to today's autonomous system number.
This was Xerox's approach to scaling. It could have worked.

Routinely looking up things in hashes was not common back then. Hashing was computationally expensive when routers ran on little machines with well under 1 MIPS. A huge flat address space was not feasible with memory costs at the time. Nor was keeping huge routing tables in sync well understood. There had to be some cheap way to make routing decisions based on the IP address.
It’s fine to have a rational disagreement about systems design and deployment, but this borders on paranoid screed. Just because you don’t like something and other people do doesn’t mean it’s a scam.
