Tangent, but I'm honestly interested in understanding how you use Spotify Connect and why you prefer it over bog standard Bluetooth or even a wired connection.

I'm reading up on this M5 Audiocast product and I'm failing to see how it's anything other than allowing you to stream music to a device via WiFi in stead of Bluetooth. Extra dongle, cables, connections and yet another app for no benefit that I can see.

Maybe I'm out of touch, but when I'm with friends or family, there's usually a speaker somewhere connected to a phone, and that phone is playing tunes. Someone is in charge of the phone and what is playing. Rarely do we care what is playing though because that's not why we are together. If someone wants to share a specific song they like with the group, they can either play it from the "DJ" phone, or just connect their own device to the speaker and play.

Possibly I'm just a 34 year old boomer and I don't understand how the kids like to party these days.
>My guess is, when it comes to categorization and summarization, an LLM is going to handily win. An easy test is: are publishers experts on topics they talk about? The truth of the internet is no, they're not usually.

LLMs are not experts either. Furthermore, from what I gather, LLMs are trained on:

Oh nice, I'm already using HA and embedding LMS in an iframe. Might be worth a look. Have you used both? If so, how do they compare?
Texas highways will get very hot in summer, and with cheap asphalt it will last max. 5 years. Proper concrete will last 20 years.

Also asphalt is more slippery than concrete. It will spill out oil.

Only poor cities will do asphalt, and they are in constant reconstruction.

If a motivated solo dev thought there might be at least 10,000 people who would pay 100 USD a year for a text editor with better extensibility and performance than VS Code and better defaults/richer GUI APIs than vim/Emacs, I can see why it might be tempting for them to try.

Why shouldn't I? Humans developed this intelligence naturally (as far as we know). Many people claim we're intelligent enough to repeat the process with artificial organisms, and guide it, and perfect it. I want to see it.

And btw in the Terminator novelizations it was clearly stated that Skynet was a very good optimization machine but lacked creativity. So it's actually a good benchmark: can we create an intelligent machine that needs no supervision but still has limitations (i.e. it cannot dramatically reformulate its strategy in case it cannot win, which is exactly what happened in the books)?
Maybe I am too prescriptive of your setup, but I don't really see "version: 2.33" making sense. Why not something akin to "version: __BUILD_NUMBER__" being actually checked into your tree, and then your build pipeline filling it in at build time?

Keeping a copy of the build number checked into your source tree seems like asking for trouble when the build number is so intrinsically tied to a single build pipeline run.
I sure do use them for many years now, my girlfriend now uses them and loves them, my topcoder friend eventually started using them 10 years ago.

So, no, we are using them , but y’all know what ? Unless recursive they are really nothing so special…
> the pods need to hang out near the surface to receive signals and to launch missiles, so they have a high risk of being detected before they can be used

You can now send encoded sonar pulses. With good microphones on pods, you can communicate over many many kilometers and those commands can be pretty short, no need to "real time fpv", just "target a ship currently at {X,Y}".
I agree. It's not a good idea to refuse to hire either young or old candidates. It's also not a good idea to refuse to hire experienced or inexperienced candidates.

These candidates have, as groups, different characteristic strengths and weaknesses. You need to give them multiple tests to see those. Leetcode is not a good test, but you do have to test a new grad on something, which might mean a vaguely leetcode-adjacent test like "go print this json tree of directories to the console then tell me what you did in your third year of uni".
There was a movie that came out in 2001 called "Artificial Intelligence", at a time when we were still figuring out how things like search engines and the online economy were going to work. It had a scene where the main characters went to a city and visited a pay-per-question AI oracle. It was very artistically done, but it really revealed (in hindsight) how naive we were about how "online" was going to turn out.

When I look at the kinds of AI projects I have visibility into, there's a parallel where the public are expecting a centralized, all knowing, general purpose AI, but what it's really going to look like is a graph of oddball AI agents tuned for different optimizations.

One node might be slow and expensive but able to infer intent from a document, but its input is filtered by a fast and cheap one that eliminates uninteresting content, and it could offload work to a domain-specific one that knows everything about URLs, for example. More like the network of small, specialized computers scattered around your car than a central know-it-all computer.
This is the thing with errors and automation. A 1 % error rate in a human process is basically fine. A 1 % error rate in an automated process is hundreds of thousands of errors per day.

(See also why automated face recognition in public surveillance cameras might be a bad idea.)
The fact that this page exists and the suggestion is to connect your wireless devices physically to avoid weird networking loops is astounding. I assume wireless sonos gear does not come with an Ethernet patch cable, right?

Fair play to Unify for making this page in the first place, and making it easy to find for their users. It clearly and rightfully shifts the blame to the right party.

But wow. How many other examples are there of one org's incompetence leading to unnecessary support load for other companies and they have little choice but to provide the workarounds and fixes themselves.
Honestly whenever I am looking for speaker these days, I reuse some inexpensive HiFi speakers for the second hand market and plug an amp from aliexpress/amazon with bluetooth capabilities.

Only issue is they are usually advertising their bluetooth at all time so anyone in the street can connect to them by mistake. I just power them off when not in use anyway so no big deal.
Yeah, they also have zero room left so I guess the option was between more dirty power stations in Malaysia or this. Seems like a wise, forward-looking initiative.
I look at this contrast as what I call the difference between a "programmer" and a "software engineer". These jobs are really two different universes in practice, so you're not wrong.

I saw an LLM demo at one point where it was asked to write FFT and add unit tests for it which really drove this point home for me.

A programmer is a nicer term for a code monkey. You ask them to write FFT and they'll code it. All problems can be solved with mode code. They can edit code, but on the whole it's more just to add more code. LLMs are actually pretty good at this job, in my experience. And this job is important, not all tasks can be engineered thoroughly. But this job has its scaling limits.

A software engineer is not about coding per se, it's about designing software. It's all about designing the right code, not more code. Work smarter, not harder, for scale. You ask them to write FFT and they'll find a way to depend on it from a common implementation so they don't have to maintain an independent implementation. I've personally found LLMs very bad at this type of work, the same way you and others relying to you describe it. (Ok, maybe FFT is overly simple, I'm sure an LLM can import that for you. But you get the idea.) LLMs have statistical confidence, not intellectual confidence. But software engineering generally works with code too complex for pure statistical confidence.

No offense to the LLM fans here, but I strongly suspect most of them are closer to the programmer category of work. An important job, but one more easily automated away by LLMs (or better software engineering long-term). And we can see this by how a lot of programming has been outsourced for decades to cheap labor in third-world countries: it's a simpler type of job. That plus the people biased because their jobs and egos depend on LLMs succeeding.
Interesting. I'll try to explain a bit more, maybe you can tell me if I should rephrase it.

When you visit a website, the website loads a script that intercepts the requests made from the website (like you said). It only intercepts HTTP requests, so most of these requests should be targeting APIs.

With these information, I create dashboards and charts.
Personally, I find that meeting the end goal is easy if the project suits my personality and tastes. So my point was to discard the projects if I eventually discover that some part of the work doesn't satisfy that criteria.
Right, we should use the old apprentice, journeyman, master from the crafts.

When a master says you're ready to independently take on customers and have what it takes to satisfy their needs you become a journeyman, and when you've practiced long enough to have pushed the boundaries of the craft and reliably do things that masters can learn from, then they might count you among themselves.
It seems like easy money to me to be honest but they seem to have given up like you say. Google assistant is declining at a terrific rate too - I asked it what the time was a few days ago and got a Wikipedia definition.
Sonos Can't Release Old App for Customers Unhappy with Design Changes
Nah, I lose interest for many reasons, more than perfectionism -- and I am very far from a perfectionist. Rather, I lose interest because:

1. Not the right format (essay versus video versus book)

2. My overall philosophy on the topic has changed and I need to restart with something new
I think it also depends on how common the API is. If it's more unknown to the LLM, it tends to drift away.

It's hard to believe they did user testing and this design came out on top.

Take a person at the end of their shift, sit then in front of a 'steering a ship' game with this UI: "with the controls set this way, which way will the ship move?" "we showed you a UI for 1s, were the props ganged? What was the differential in engine output?".

Presumably the US Navy has the user testing sessions recorded and archived somewhere?

The Tear of Perforation
Sony also did some really weird stuff with the PS4 to make emulation harder, chiefly among them the PCIe “glue device”, a PCIe device that masquerades as one of 15 (?) different ones, depending on the function needed at that instant. Geohotz has a section on it in his presentation about jailbreaking the PS4.
There were also a large number of captains, who refused to trust anything coming out of the navys design bureau and testing facilities and personally made sure, that computers were never used or even ripped out, to only use a "working" impact fuse. Those distrusting captains continued there "protecting the crew from dysfunctional crap" missions well up into the vietnam war. Engineering failures have serious consequences and ripple effects.
Show HN: Waffle Shaped Math Game
I love that you're doing this for free; I've done similar things in the past and learned that at some point you may be doing people a disservice by keeping old systems and broken implementations alive for free. I'd call it vendor lock in by generosity. Or, tongue in cheek: had the business owner paid for support for those Sonos boxes, he probably wouldn't have them anymore.
should've been a post. you're right. who knows? maybe it could've topped HN .. or should I say RN (runnersnews?)
Aren't you screwed from the moment you have a malicious user in your workspace? This user can change their picture/name and directly ask for the API key, or send some phishing link or get loose on whatever social engineering is fundamentally possible in any instant message system.
Usually the resistance does not stay the same, because it is preferred to use a thinner cable, to reduce its cost.

At a given power, double voltage means half current. If the resistance is kept the same, that means 4 times lower losses. If the resistance is doubled by using a thinner cable, that still results in two times lower losses.
At least they exist, and force you to refactor the code to match reality.

Document databases tend to take on a life of their own; and since they encourage shortcuts, the slope is typically down.
The worst part is not all Sonos devices come with an ethernet port and only the supported dongle works - it costs £40!

Also, the political space would profit from more open access. How can I base my arguments on facts and logic if the primary sources of the facts are not accessible to me? How can I show others the facts if they cant access the source without getting into legal trouble?
There are several methods they may use:

- OpenGraph (by Facebook, probably used by Whatsapp) – https://ogp.me/

- oEmbed (used to embed media in another page, e.g. YouTube videos on a WordPress blog) – https://oembed.com/
The argument for "LLMs get it right 99% of the time" is also very generalized and doesn't take into account smaller websites

Yup, my bad. Title is wrong but I can't change it now. I was looking for quick figures and saw the solar capacity numbers and put them. It seems only about 1.75 GW are actually planned to go through that link.

> A great public codebase likely needs to be more understandable, more generic, more self guided, more error proof, more auditable, and more pluggable. Additionally, supporting popular open source at all comes with a deluge of requests, demands, audits, and obligations.

Literally none of that is necessary to publish a source code tarball. You keep moving goalposts. You don't need heavy community involvement and support self-hosting and all that just to publish your source code.

I mean feature requests will come, sure, but people working with closed source software receive those too.
For me, it depends on the problem. I avoid LLMs for anything complex, cause I prefer to think it through myself. But there are often times when you know exactly what you want and you know how it should look like. Let's say you need a simple web API to help you with a task. These days I'd typically ask an LLM to write the app. It will usually get some stuff wrong, but after a quick glance I can steer it to fix the problems (like: you didn't handle errors etc).

That way I can generate a simple few hundred lines of code app in minutes. There is no way I could type that fast even if I exactly know what characters to write and it's not always the case. Like, oftentimes I know exactly what to do and I know if it's OK when I see the code, but writing it would require me to look into the docs here and there.
How did it change your workflow? I'm also a developer with 10+ years of experience. Generating code is not what I miss in my daily life. Understanding what you're doing and creating a mental model of it is the difficult part. Typing in the code is easy. I'm not sure how would a coding assistant help with that.

Why not make the tools capable of everything and just punish bad behavior instead of preemptively censoring users and their usage of the tool?

This is why your project shouldn't be too small.

If a project is projected to be finished in 6 months, the current manager will still be there, and the success or failure will reflect on their record. It can only go wrong and reflect badly on them.

If a project will take 3 years, the manager can already collect their points for initiating a project with an incredible business case and innovative approach, leave after 18 months, and after a further six month, the new manager can say 'wow, my predecessor left a big mess, I'll clean it up/kill it'.

Has to be something pretty generic. I'm trying to write a little C program that talks to an LCD display via the SPI bus--something I did before a few times, but not with this particular display and MCU. There is no LLM that can even begin to reason this out since they've been mostly trained on web dev content.
I look forward to your explanation of how the temperature of Bob's Raspberry Pi poses a threat to his employer.

And you should. This is fascinating! You answered so many nagging questions I’ve had for years about the weird behavior of fog lamps and DRLs.

Any reason why some manufacturers allow the lights to remain on when the ignition is killed with an obnoxious beep (Ford, VW), and others don’t (Subaru, Toyota)?
> It's just not an issue for most people's everyday.

Sure, but if you look at any of the fairly ridiculous and designed-to-be-divisive issues that pretty much decide every bit of our political conversation.. anything can be an issue. Making the military more diverse is a good example, because while it's absolutely important, it also affects less than 1% of people directly, and less than 3% indirectly. I'd hazard a guess that open-access to research affects more than 1% of people directly, and roughly 100% of people indirectly.

> state funded research shall be released to the public domain, and all prior contract terms to the contrary are hereby void

This phrasing from GP works great because it pushes people's "freedom" buttons, and also their "curb government corruption" buttons, and for the more academically inclined, appeals to everything from accelerationist futurism to enlightened humanism. And it's not even divisive! This isn't controversial at all for anyone except the rent-seeking journal owners, and it seems like an easy win for anyone who wants to champion it. All by itself, this would be an amazing legacy, even for someone who exits political life immediately afterwards.

You're vastly underselling Hue. You have automations (such as waking you up with a sunrise, simulating presence, etc), integrations (sync from PC, TV, good local API that can be used by various home automation systems) and importantly, remote access.

The last part can't work securely without an account, and accounts also allow you to have access controls (this user can only control lights, but not any of the more advanced settings, because you know your roommate/spouse/kids shouldn't be touching that).

The whole thing has been wildly overblown.
