The hardware is rather straightforward, something like a Raspberry Pi with off-the-shelf mems microphone module, powered Bluetooth receiver, battery + management (if you want it portable), and potentially some UART/SPI interface for more specific sensors/comms. The software I don’t have any direct experience with, but potentially something like Ada from HomeAssistant would be functional and easy to implement/integrate.

Is there a particular part of this that seems most challenging for you? Would you be interested in developing something to fill this potential gap? I’m toying with a lot of the same tech right now, I’d be glad to contribute.
> I doubt you can accurately predict the future and whatever assumptions you make will likely be wrong in some way. Then you are stuck having to solve the problem that you created by trying to predict. As for reusabilty, it's similar. Start with solving what you have to, then abstract as you see it fit.

Kinda sorta. It's not a binary: you can "predict the future," just not too far out and not with complete certainty. The art is figuring out what the practical limits are, and not going past them.

> Realistically you should engineer for the problem you have or can reasonably expect you are going to have pretty soon. You can solve future problems in the future.

Another factor is comprehensibility. Sometimes it makes sense to solve problems you don't technically have, because solving them makes the thing complete (or a better approximation thereof) and therefore easier to reason about later.

that's the most puzzling bit. Do they not want to anyone offering anything that could compete with any of Hashi's products to be able to use terraform binary at all?

if so, that's similar to proprietary programming languages. Not a thing. The community can just agree on a similar but open alternative and the original company is left behind. That's why all languages and frameworks are open-source with permissive licenses.

and if not, if it's just about the hosted / managed parts - then what exactly is it that I can use wrongly? Terraform Cloud / Enterprise was never open source. There's nothing I can self-host and charge users for...

> I doubt you can accurately predict the future and whatever assumptions you make will likely be wrong in some way.

I doubt this for most of us. Computers have been around for a long time. Most of us are not work on new problems. We by now have a pretty good idea of what will be needed and what won't be. There are a lot of things left that haven't been done yet, but if you understand the problem at all you should have a good idea of what those things will be. You won't be 100% correct of course, and exactly when any particular thing you design for will actually get implemented is unknown, but you should already have a good idea of what things your users will want on a high enough level.

Of course if we ever get something new you will be wrong. 10 years ago I had no idea that LLM type AI would affect my program, but it is now foreseeable even though I don't really know what it can do will turn out useful vs what will just be a passing fad. Science fiction has 3d displays, holographic interfaces, teleportation, and lots of other interesting things ideas that may or may not work out.

Likewise, 20 years ago you could be forgiven for not foreseeing the effects that privacy legislation would have on your app, but you better assume it will exist now and the laws will change.
This is the definition in relativity. They haven't been able to make that idea work in quantum physics, despite it explaining practically everything else, so one theory or the other needs an adjustment.

What are the options of financing businesses like this? As a 40 year old salary man, what might I reasonably expect a bank to give me, say if I put down 40k for a 150k business. And assuming I do it under an LLC.

Is that realistic? I know nothing about this world - but I'm assuming some financing exists. Would love to hear takes from people with experience, or any forums that cater to this area of buying SMEs.

Sure, they are prone to being changed out from under you, but I think we can agree they're not fragile in the same way that parsing html for the 3rd div tag with the id w9j8f (thanks react!) and the 2nd a href tag under that is. It's very clear when the endpoint changes, or the outputted JSON changes, but assuming it's still JSON, it should still be fairly readable, and if the data's still in the JSON blob, finding it is quick work. Whereas if the HTML changes, you're in for a slog.

> To be clear, Scalia was no outlier; the same identity-based bias affects us all

You wrote:

> ...all human beings, have cognitive bias. It does not follow that the supreme court is “broken”.

A Kahnemanian focus on bias is an unprofitable framework for analyzing jurisprudence and has no bearing here.

Scalia is not wrong because he used Catholic faith to shape his legal opinions.

Scalia is wrong, full stop, because he cannot:

be objective

entertain perspectives other than his own

subjourn his own beliefs to address hypotheticals

contemplate multiple contradictory ideas at the same time (consider paradox)

impartially adjudicate the law

A proper response would be something like:

"Well, that's an interesting question. As a practicing Catholic, per our Pope, fish is not a meat. However, biologically, where meat is defined as the flesh of an animal, of course fish is meat. So I would have to ask you, what is the context of your question? Because in all areas of law, we must consider the social, legal, moral, and scientific norms which may affect our rulings."

In other words, a Justice of the SCOTUS must have a jurisprudence somewhat more nuanced than "because I said so" (judicial primacy).

>Listing only the most popular, most influential artists proves my point: for most people art is an untenable career.

That wasn't your point. Your point was that no artist who makes a living with their art can be considered a "true" artist. I pointed out popular and influential artists because the quality of their work, despite having been being done by working artists, disputes your thesis that no art done for money has real value.

>In that regard AI, has virtually no impact on those who want to create.

AI has already been used to steal the commissions of working artists and fabricate CVs, and plenty of jobs are being outsourced entirely to AI. I guarantee you the artists who lost that work have plenty of passion for their craft.

>Mosts artists fail to make money; it really should go without saying that not everyone can be Helen Mirren or Paul McCartney.

Why are you trying to equate working artists with celebrities. Most working actors aren't Helen Mirren or Paul McCartney. Most writers aren't Tom Clancy or Stephen King. You've never heard of anyone working in VFX, or many people involved in comics or game art.

Again, you just keep restating your argument, but never proving it. Why are none of these people real artists, and why do none of them deserve to make a living? Why are the only "true" artists your friends who make macaroni collages or paint portraits on the boardwalk, and not the people who had the commitment to master their craft and do it full time?

>For most artists creation is a need, not something that is pursued for monetary reasons.

Here's the flaw in your reasoning, you assume that artists who work for a living are only interested in monetary gain. For the vast majority of working artists, creation is a need, and that's why they pursue a living at it. You seem to be assuming the only artists being replaced by AI are low-talent bottom feeders, but markets aren't optimizing for talent, they're optimizing for cost and replacing their entire creative pipeline with AI where feasible.

A lot of modern creative work involves years of effort, material, and investment. Small bands can't tour if everyone also has a full time job, and they never charge for tickets and only ever give their music away for free. Indie game studios couldn't publish games that way. A lot of art just ceases to exist when your only option is to squeeze it in during free time when you're already working 40, 50 or 60 hours just to feed yourself.
Gibbon was writing out of an Enlightenment-era perspective warts and all, it was his firm position that the conversion of the Roman Empire to Christianity is what did it in. Today, historians generally view the crises of the 3rd century (well before Constantine) as the fatal blow to the Empire, which then just stumbled along for the next two centuries before collapsing.

Also, in England in Gibbon’s day there was very little knowledge of or interest in Byzantium. That half of the empire lasted another thousand years in spite of a remarkably tight connection between church and state. Only the Western Empire fell in AD 496.

I fly a desk herding cats, I mean devs, for a living now. But as a Navy-trained aviator, this and the Colgan Air mishap in Buffalo always make me cringe. I can't entirely judge the crew, because the human mind is a strange thing that has ways of rationalizing truly abnormal situations and behavior. That said, an obvious Crew Resource Management failure compounded the issues here.

That said, I believe aerobatics and out-of-control flight training need to be a lot more common in the civilian sector for professional pilots than they are. Awareness of your angle of attack, and knowledge of how an aircraft behaves at high AOA close to (and if possible beyond) stall don't seem to be taught well in the civilian sector, or at least outside the tactical jet community. The idea that a professional pilot can't understand that a deeply stalled aircraft can be nose-up and still have a heinous sink rate is profoundly bothering to me, just like the Colgan Air pilots who couldn't recognize severe wing rock as a sign of a deeply-departed state. Both of these required (if even possible at that point) aggressive nose-down pitch inputs to break the AOA. And even then, the aircraft is going to lose a ridiculous amount of altitude before it gains enough airspeed back to give you enough pitch authority to scoop out of the ensuing dive. Horrible.

It also boggles my mind that Airbus didn't think at first to design an aircraft which avoided the split control problem they had. One person and one person only needs to be in control of the aircraft at all times.

For me a more interesting way of putting it is that Wine is nearly as old as Windows NT whose usermode architecture it’s copying—first shipped 1993 as well! Even if development began around 1989 that and preliminary versions of various kinds were available from about 1991.

There was a widespread misinterpretation/incorrect belief of the certification rules at the time of that crash.

There is an airspeed, called maneuvering speed (Va), at or below which it should not be possible to use the flight controls to remove parts of the aircraft. (The aircraft should run out of control authority or stall prior to exceeding any load limits [which is well before the removal of parts].) Every student pilot is taught this prior to passing their first knowledge test and checkride.

The problem with that is the certification rules for Va are for a single input, not for a cyclically reversing sequence of inputs (which is what the first officer of AA 587 did).

As the details became clear, this was a big topic of learning for many pilots, including myself. AA 587 was caused by the flight crew, but I don't put it into the "insane pilot error" category.

>It kinda did because it removed a reason to pick Firefox over its competitors.

The reason to pick firefox over competitors is because they are the ONLY web browser vendor who isn't actively handicapping the internet. Firefox could smear my face with literal shit every time I use it and it would still be less hostile to end users than, let's see what chrome is doing this week, oh yes, forcing everyone to build attestation systems into the internet so that you eventually will be cryptographically prevented from blocking ads.

I think this is nicely captured by the concept of "cost of carrying".

Keeping code around is not free. Cost of carrying refers to the ongoing efforts of maintaining code, not to mention side effects such as increased complexity and cognitive load.

If you over-engineer a system you aren't getting value out of the extra bits, but you are still paying the cost of keeping them around.
that's scary.

When selecting components there's a certain range of "quality grades" to choose from ranging from commercial/automotive to space grade and radiation hardened parts. Often times a lower grade component can work with some precautions, for example, with a reset circuit in case of latch up. Many cubesats use non-space grade components because of their high price and are only expected to work for a limited time, e.g., a few years.
with Vault and Consul that makes a ton of sense; they're centralised backend services that are inherently SaaS-like. But expanding the "on top of terraform" definition to a CLI / language? That's insane. It's like making a programming language or framework proprietary and saying you can't sell anything written in the language without the language creator's permission. I guess such languages did exist in the early days of the industry but those days are long gone

It's apples to oranges.

Modern Artificial Neural networks are nowhere near the scale of the brain. The closest biological equivalent to an artificial neuron is a synapse and we have a whole lot more of them.

Humans do not start "learning" from zero. Millions of years of evolution play a crucial role in our general abilities. Much more equivalent to fine-tuning than starting from scratch.

There's also a whole lot of data from multiple senses that currently dwarf anything modern models are trained with yet.

LLMs need a lot less data to speak coherently when you aren't trying to get them to learn the total sum of human knowledge.

That's my one grief with tsc: it does too many different things.

- Type checking

- Transpiling to multiple formats (CJS/ESM, JSX and the like)

- Generating declaration files (.d.ts)

While there are modern alternatives for transpiling, much faster than tsc (esbuild, swc), typechecking and declaration generation are still very slow operations.
