No. The important thing is to understand that the two outcomes may not be identical.
I haven’t fully jumped into home automation although I would like to and have thought about it for a while. I think I would only like to have things connected to an airgapped LAN that never connects to the internet. Maybe put it on my tailscale net. This is exactly why.
I'm happy to have LLMs now but in the future I'm going to be more concerned about the source of their training. I can see regulation coming that requires that LLM companies reveal those sources.

Does Zwave and Zigbee with Matter on the way at some point. HomeKit integration is in beta right now.

My fear is that Philips will do something stupid by pushing a firmware to the bulbs to lock folks into only using their hubs. Or maybe change colour reporting to some annoying method that won’t allow for accurate colour on a non-Hue hub.

The enshittification continues.
It's amazing you can do this. My wife cannot even get Android auto to transcribe addresses correctly--we need to "speak" an address when the car is moving. It works a bit better for my "strong male" voice, but still quite a frustrating experience.
though I sympathize with the frustration - I've learned just to log-in and move on, life is short so unless you want to baby around home assistant I'd go with a managed solution. more productively, the author can go with home assistant if they want to DIY. (it's ironic they suggest homekit which requires you to have and be logged into an icloud account).

the problem with home assistant is that it's easy enough to have a computer on and run the docker container. but then you have to either open ports in your firewall or use some sort of proxy in order to have outside network internet access, and then maybe your computer goes down for whatever reason. it's kind of a hassle unless you're already running a server for other things imo (and I say this as someone who runs my own surveillance with blue iris and poe cameras)
I don't understand a moral framework that's concerned with the posthumous status of one's financial obligations but is unconcerned with the future continuation of the human race.
(Message also for your parent) Last week, I saw the writing on the wall. I installed OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher on two MBPs from 2015, updating 12.7 to 13.6. It is a MBP 13" 2015 (early 2016 variant) and a MBP 15" 2015 (late 2015?). Works very well but you need to follow the guide. Both machines are still working well, 'cept for the battery (already replaced on the 13"). Esp the 15" is still in good condition, my wife happily uses it and insists on needing a 15". So a replacement would be expensive.

Being on the default store is 1000% buff. Literally your Bank, Facebook, and Amazon aren't going to just disappear off the shelves of the biggest store. On Android, Amazon actually run their own app store and they still have all their apps on the play store.
But could you have guessed that this policy would have helped (albeit in its own small way) to prop up a monopoly in the advertising world?
I’ve ran mine through the dishwasher. It’s fine.
Google's Play Store allows Meta apps more permissions than Apple's App Store currently does.

Meta lost tens of billions in market value (and an estimated $10 billion a year in revenue) when the new Apple App Store privacy rules went into effect. That's a powerful incentive.
You could also say 94% of those jobs went to [age range of your choice] whose hiring numbers increased that much.

This is a common analytical fallacy.

Far more than 323K jobs were added...they're talking about NET jobs added.
Nothing? They provide and run the marketplace that distributes your app anywhere in the world, and handles nearly frictionless payment. And they have created a marketplace where users feel safe downloading your app. As an Apple customer I value these things pretty highly, more than I value any one app.
You can also skip the LAN completely. Either ZigBee or zwave (or Matter if you're feeling futuristic) can be used entirely offline. There's lots of products that support those protocols for quite a while now.
If TFA is derived from RTFA (itself I assume derived from RTFM), then "the fucking article" seems the most correct, official, and proper.

Just use the Docker image if you don’t like it. Or get their appliance which actually supports ongoing development.
Time to write a comprehensive paper titled "Optimizations Considered Harmful".

Seriously though, it's distressing how we have Spectre and Meltdown and whatnot. We've gone too far trying to squeeze every drop of performance out of hardware (Electron is for balance, of course /s) and now we pay the price.
I find Bayesian regression models are actually simpler to explain as the assumptions you make are explicit and part of the model specification.

This article is entirely about debunking rumors and looking at actual scientific evidence to correct people's misconceptions -- misconceptions among doctors and law enforcement that have ruined people's lives.

So please don't bring "rumors" into a discussion here. That's exactly the kind of harmful behavior the article is trying to fight against.
Apple has actually measured the impact of adding bounds checking to commonly used libraries including media libraries and found no impact on overall power use. Audio and video encoding libraries took around a 1% performance impact.

https://llvm.org/devmtg/2023-05/slides/TechnicalTalks-May11/...

I don't think there is any evidence to support that bounds checking causes any significant increase in power consumption, and measurements currently available such as shown above show minimal runtime performance impact.

Bounds checking is the perfect situation for branch predictors, 99.9% of the time the branch is predicted correctly, and when it's not it doesn't matter because you're probably aborting the program!

There's also the point that you can opt out of bounds checking as-needed on hot loops if you really need to.

There is no technological reason to not use bounds checking as the default mode of operation today.

And it would be great to put those two demographics together, and keep them away from the rest of us. Kind of a red light district.
Besides all of the trouble it takes to build and run one's own store, pulling one's apps off the official App Store would be hell for discoverability and UX. And the Amazon store really only exists for the sake of Fire tablets.
I'm not in California, so that doesn't tell me much. I see too much conflicting anecdata from over on the other end of the continent to form an opinion.
What are alternatives for things like light bulbs, switches, sockets, etc other? We are currently building a new house and I have requested non-smart wall switches/sockets etc. The default (as our build is off a standardised plan) is for 'smart' switches/sockets using some brand of Cloud-based service which I believe isn't an open protocol like Zigbee. It seems to me that no matter which ecosystem it's always attached to the cloud somehow.

It is a shame Phillips Hue has gone down this path as I would have seriously considered their gear otherwise.

Maybe I'm a luddite but I can't see any advantage installing with gear reliant on cloud access.
Probably for the same reasons we helicopter parent.
It seems to me that this rumor is just an alternate framing of the original commenter's assertion that "a minor bump in the head for a baby could be life threatening, but we just mark it as SIDS". I think it's fair to be skeptical of both, but it's worth reflecting on how the same factual assertions can come across as either "science-informed speculation" or "crazy unsubstantiated rumor" depending on how you say them.
As others said, you can in chrome, but it's not as smooth as in iOS and MacOS as it only works in Chrome, and doesn't work in apps (like steam or other game launchers).
MacOS versions have a number, which counts up, the same as iOS and WatchOS. "Sonoma" is a cutesy name for "MacOS 14", the same way that "Jammy Jellyfish" is the cutesy name for Ubuntu 22.04.

The version number is shown in the About This Mac page, which is the top menu item in the Apple menu at all times.
Don’t say horrible things like that unless you can really back them up. Think of how a grief stricken parent might feel after reading that.

Agreed. Another alternative: run HAOS in a VM.
Some of these things had excuses, for instance the original version of SmartThings had a very stupid hub and made up for it with cloud services. That's not the case for Hue at all.
Merlin's podcasts, particularly Roderick on the Line and the amazing Reconcilable Differences with John Siracusa, are amongst my favourite things to listen to.
Not really to me. The standard ones tick some pretty convenient boxes:

- herbivores

- relatively quick to raise from birth to useful slaughtering

- high volume of usable meat from the animal (though husbandry undoubtedly guides this)

- produce useful secondary products (leather, milk, wool, eggs, garbage disposal, mechanical effort) - IMO probably the primary driver the further back you look, towards subsistence farming times

Yeh, other animals can hit some of these to some degree, but when you look at the main livestock choices it's fairly obvious to me why sheep, pigs and cows were chosen (in western Europe). If you're some family living on a farm back in the middle ages, you're only going to have capacity to raise a couple of animals and these give you the best return on your effort/resources.

Look at the central Asian Steppe region, where horses were absolute cornerstones of society for millennia due to the roaming structure of their living. Horse and horse products such as mare's milk are still products consumed there today, and it makes absolute sense that their ancestors found multiple uses for the animals their scarce resources went into keeping alive.
That's the whole point here, isn't it: that 'what you've heard' isn't credible at all. There is no 'polite fiction' here, what there is is people looking for culprits when there are none. Does that meant that all such cases are accidents? No, because we know for a fact that some people really do hurt infants for whatever reason. But the evidence is apparently such that a large fraction of the cases that were thought to be criminal in actuality were not. So don't go on rumors or polite fictions when lives are at stake. Do the legwork before ruining people's lives.

This is why I really try to buy devices that can run Tasmota. Any Tuya compatible device can be flashed to work with Tasmota. I have actually left some devices with the Tuya firmware on there - their app is pretty decent. But I know if I need to I can flash Tasmota and make it appear on my network like a legacy Phillips Hue or Belkin Wemo device that doesn't require an account.

Buying hardware that can run open firmware is nice for future proofing in case the vendor goes sideways with their firmware. I do the same for routers with OpenWRT.
Yea; I run HomeAssistant via the official Docker container and have been pretty happy with it. It's only accessible on my local network, and my phone/laptop/etc use Wireguard to talk to it if I'm somewhere else.

When I was working construction in Singapore, I used to get mutton biryanis with my field guys. The rice and mutton came wrapped in waxed paper along with a bag of pappadams and a separate bag of "gravy." Insanely delicious and cheap. The only problem was being comatose after such a heavy lunch.
I wonder if they'll force Apple to allow 3rd party SMS. Being forced to use iMessage is probably my biggest reason for not switching to nearly the only small phone on the market, iPhone SE.
> were it not for Apple adding 43% to the purchase price of most paid applications, which is much worse for the end user than the average piece of malware

Paid applications on iOS are dirt cheap, so I think the argument that that isn’t paid for by end users but by developers has at least some merit.

I also think it’s more like 18% for the majority of paid applications nowadays (Apple’s cut is 15% for less well selling apps nowadays, and I think there are many, many of those), but that’s a bit of nitpicking.
I don’t think anything is “wrong” with you but experience and observation suggests it’s hard to prioritize that exclusively without becoming miserable or lonely. My father always said “are you more interested in being right or winning?” and I tell my kids “Are you more interested in being in the right or achieving your goals?” That framing was always more appealing to me since happiness or winning isn’t always a key consideration. It makes you ask what it is you really want. And if what you really want is to be in the right, well, your best course or action is pretty clear.
I think the 2023 bank crisis proves the opposite of what you're claiming. Only 3 banks failed, and of those three one had nothing to do with crypto. It was not a contagion, and people predicting it would have widespread repercussions on the economy turned out to be wrong.

"No contagion risk" doesn't mean nobody would be harmed by a crypto collapse; obviously there are a handful of morons here and there who would get wiped out. It means there is no systematic, widespread dependency of the real economy on the crypto one. I think the bank failures bear that out.
Rachel nailed it, as usual. I was an early adapter and have a houseful of Hue stuff, but over the last year or so I've switched to buying Nanoleaf bulbs. Hue is a little nicer, but not enough to make their terrible app worth the hassle.

I've seen a few recommendations now for the Ikea Dirigera hub, so fine. I've ordered one. Assuming it works as expected, I'll migrate everything next week. So long, Philips. I liked your stuff, but why'd you have to get greedy? Was being twice the price of your competition not enough?

First, saying "x is not real" is a proven way to make a mess of a conversation. I suggest we all would be better off avoiding that phrasing, unless we're willing to really dig in and carefully clarify our definitions.

> You cannot point to a neurotransmitter or neuron or synapse and say "that's a thought."

Are you claiming it is (a) categorically impossible or (b) practically impossible? Why not?

> Thoughts are not material.

To be clear, when modern philosophers talk about 'materialism' that tends to include all of the abstractions of physics: matter, energy, waves, etc.

> You might say [thoughts] are not real.

I wouldn't say that. Here is what I would say; there are at least three key different aspects of thoughts:

1. the perceptual level; i.e. the _experience_ of having a thought

2. the conceptual level; i.e. a _concept_ that people use

3. the physical level; the physical things that are happening; may be a set of things; not necessarily contiguous

> Even if you can point to a group of neurons and processes in the brain and associate it with a particular thought, the thought itself is not real.

My top-most paragraph explains that "X is not real" statements tend to have a lot of downsides. Am I missing something? Does this add something to the discussion?
Those are good ones but i was thinking of local stuff like grocery (which they tried and are currently failing) and gas (not that i use it). Also, real services like plumbing, electric, vehicle maint. ... Angies list got that corner ;)
By virtue of everything sold on Amazon being in the Amazon app the rule in question is kind of moot. The ATT privacy rules don't matter to them because they've already got everything they need to know about you from your habits in their app.
Testing with 100 MB set from mattmahoney.net and relatively comparable sizes pzip is twice as fast as the previously mentioned Pavlov's 7z, that's clearly useful for those who need the fastest possible creation of a "classic" zip with compressed files, when lower compression ratio (1.6 MB bigger compressed file when compressing 100 MB set, compared to 7z) is acceptable.

$ time zip -2 -r a-zip.zip 100mb/ >/dev/null
real user sys: 2,1 1,8 0,1
$ time 7z -tzip -mx=1 a a-7z-1.zip 100mb/ >/dev/null
real user sys: 1,0 2,7 0,0
$ time ../pzip a-pzip.zip 100mb/ >/dev/null
real user sys: 0,5 1,0 0,1
$ L a
48197707 a-7z-1.zip
49921626 a-pzip.zip
49553097 a-zip.zip

If the "classic" (i.e. the goal to unpack the archive using older programs) compatibility is not important, it could be interesting to consider that at least since 2020 zstd is officially a "standard" method for ZIP files too, allowing even faster compression speed for the same compression size targets.

93 - Zstandard (zstd) Compression

https://pkware.cachefly.net/webdocs/APPNOTE/APPNOTE-6.3.9.TX...

I'm aware that there are some attempts of modifications of 7zip to allow using that method in ZIP files, but I don't know more than that:

https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd

https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd/issues/132

https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/issues/1403

If ZIP target format is not a condition, here's the speed of using zstd on tar for the same input and approximately the same resulting size:

time tar -c 100mb | zstd -2 -o a.tar.zst 2>/dev/null
real user sys: 0,4 0,4 0,1
48585639 a.tar.zst
Aside from z-wave, which I already have and doesn't seem to be super reliable, I've been looking at some of the first gen matter stuff. I'm not sure if it's ready for prime time yet.
No. It was dark. Light switch was running firmware updates.
That sounds like insider trading and could potentially be illegal.
Also, no one’s forcing you to pipe curl into sudo sh. I don’t think a software project listing this as an installation method is that big of a red flag to be honest.
Thanks! I take it that this means a Generalised Linear Model? Could i ask for a link to a relevant article to get me started on the flavour of GLM that you recommend?
Do not simply pipe the output of sysclean to xargs rm -f or you will most likely regret it.

It's a list of things to look at, not a list of things you definitely don't need.
I don't like how HAOS is the only currently-supported way to use the SkyConnect to get Zigbee + Matter support currently, and messing with firmware on the SkyConnect was exactly the opposite reason why I got one in the first place. It doesn't "just work", even for just ZigBee, and now I've sunk hours into troubleshooting it without a working ZigBee setup in HA. Meanwhile, the Sonoff ZigBee bridge worked flawlessly the first time setting it up with my phone and their eWeLink app.

Smart Home 2023Q3 status: still for hackers only if you want more than a few lightswitches that you can just toggle from your phone, and even if you do want that, stick to one vendor + system only.
As someone who comes from "generations of dirt poor Southerners," I can assure you Alton Brown got his directions from people like my Grandma.
I recently started with home assistant. 80 bucks mini PC from Amazon, 25 bucks zigbee stick and bunch of different relays, modules, switches around the house. Easily setup HVAC fresh air ventilation (already had ducts in place but it was stupid x minutes per hour, now it is dependent on outside temperature), easily made my dumb switches smart where needed without them looking any different from the rest. In addition esphome on garage door opener motor with couple zigbee sensors on garage doors themselves to make my motors "smart"...

Unfortunately, to get there most out of it you have to go to AliExpress to have a selection of modules, but I made it a journey, rather than a project

Go with something that supports Matter, like Nanoleaf. You can add a bulb with Matter to HomeKit, Google Home, Amazon's thing, etc. at the same time. With HomeKit, at least, you can keep everything as local as you want, and still have shiny apps to manage all your gear.
Just installed that, myself. Same way. Instantly worked. Kicking myself for not installing this sooner, it's pretty rad.
In an enormous number of cases Amazon both sells products and the same exact product from a different supplier, and they sold the product before opening up the store to others. That's the definition of a competitor.

The fact that they didn't sell every single product on planet earth doesn't mean they aren't a competitor. They are practically in the "easy to manufacture by a third party in china consumer products" market. If a company adds so little value that Amazon's 5th rate people (The best minds at Amazon aren't sitting up at night worrying about the guitar pedal looper market) can beat them, they aren't adding value. And, one single distribution channel (the amazon website) doesn't define a market (with almost zero exceptions, amazon's website not being one).
Or, we need a system in which labor intrinsically creates the lion share of value.

That doesn't follow at all. Microsoft isn't selling any shares at this time, or probably ever.
