I think WiFi IoT stuff has a reputation for being janky pretty much across the board, the recommendation is usually to use Zigbee stuff instead wherever possible. That also has the security advantage of keeping the devices on their own little network that can't access your LAN or the internet directly.

Sorry, perhaps I misinterpreted it.

Can you give me some concrete examples? I'd like to use it, but I'm currently of the mind:

1. If it's boring code, I can write it faster than asking LLM to do it and fixing its issues.

2. If it's not boring code, like say a rules engine or something, I'm not sure the LLM will give me a good result based on the domain.

I mainly stick to back end work, automation, building WebAPI's and DSS engines for the medical field.

Maybe I'm under and over thinking it at the same time. FWIW, I typically stick to a single main language, but where I usually work, the companies dictate a GP language for all our stuff: C# in my example. I do a small amount of Python for LLM training, but I'm just starting out with Python. I can see it being useful saying, "convert this C# to Python," but honestly, I'd rather just learn the Python.
Like an ipod touch!
Sigh.

Everything is extremely well-trodden at the code level. You're taking some inputs and generating some outputs. You're calling some functions. You're manipulating some strings or lists or sets. You're sorting some things or filtering things. You're building a client to a given API. You're doing some messaging and some encryption.

I guarantee that your code isn't remotely as unique or novel as you think it is. Of course on here everyone is 240lbs, 6'2" and benches 350, and their magically novel, super unique code is just too secret. So everyone's special.

If you had to explain the domain and context to these tools, you might be using them wrong.
I've had a little bit of that in a previous startup. It's easy to explain: there's so much content around "AI is going to increase productivity", and "if your company doesn't use AI it won't be competitive". AI evangelists are everywhere, from the internet to their direct network, reinforcing the idea. Investors are also influenced the same way, and put direct pressure on the leaders.

So it results in the CEO telling everyone that they should be using copilot (amongst other tools) because it'll improve their productivity, without knowing for a fact whether that's true or not.
Because most of the stuff in NPM sucks. I'm not going to keep going back to a store that has sold me nothing but shit so far just on your promise that somewhere, buried deep in the back, is a not-turd.

This is an interesting observation that I see a lot of value in. Not everyone is money-driven in the same way, and there's a lot of talent that is willing to turn down additional money or additional work because they are happy enough. They have reached a local maxima, and while there may be other maxima, those are not guaranteed, and going for them could result in overall loss.
You're getting downvoted because your blatant attempt at language wars has a very simple, logical explanation. If you wanted to use a 'gotcha', there are far better examples.

This is a pretty niche acausal language, and is used extensively in Motorsports (F1, NASCAR) for real-time simulation on the driver simulator.

The language spec is open source but there many commercial compilers, Dymola is the most popular.

I code in this language extensively and its acausal nature is extremely powerful. It makes your models highly composable, you can basically assemble a mechanical system like a bunch of lego blocks and the equations fall out automatically. You can also easily invert your models.

The closest analogy in the programming world is Haskell.

If your AI can do this, it's worth several orders of magnitude more. Just FYI.
True but if this is just the extent of he can do, maybe it's better that he did it than if he didn't bother to put his thoughts on paper at all.

I'm sure you'd say it's a distinction without a difference but clearly it resonates with someone and those people are able to summarize his ideas or reframe them for a broader audience.

I don't follow him and his policies closely but whatever I caught in various types of media was just bad news. Germany's car manufacturers can potentially lose few million jobs if they go belly up, VW will definitely be closing at least few factories and the rest ain't in best shape neither. Does anybody know something positive on this guy?

Existential threat almost at the door yet 0 reaction, Germany is still massively under mandatory NATO 2% contributions and 0 attempt to get there. Wehrmacht is a joke considering size of the country.

He didn't turn around Merkel's horrible energy policies while whole world was just watching in awe how it unfolded. Nothing about semi-permanent migrant crisis.

Really, german population deserves much better leaders than him or Merkel, these are tough times and weak leaders lead to degradation of not only economy, plus it spills all over EU.
Yeah I think the title is a bit too hyperbolic considering the situation. I guess it’s about the Russian invasion and aggression, but Schulz has been hopeless for Ukraine so it shouldn’t sound so tragic.
I think young programmers who are less heavily invested in their skills and who haven't built a life that's highly dependent on using them are generally more interested in figuring out what programming with LLMs means.

But so are much older programmers who have seen it all, including the obsoletion of many of their skills, and who are not so dependent on continuing to use them as they could retire anyway.

It's more the middle (programmer) age senior programmers who are less likely to see any use.

I've seen the same pattern with artists' interest in generative AI.

But it's complicated because it IS also dependent on what you're doing. So it's hard to know if something is being dismissed correctly due to domain/expertise, or prematurely due to not putting the work in and figuring out what these tools mean.
This is just an opinion piece with little justification that does a pretty good job of undermining the clickbait-y title with the very first sentence:

> Opinion Perplexity offers several advantages over Google as a search engine, making it a compelling alternative for many.

Second, this whole "Google sucks" narrative is (IMHO) completely manufactured by those pushing another product or those with clickbait-y titles to opinion pieces. Or it's just self-delusion by people who want it to be true because they're contrarian or don't like Google for whatever reason (justified or not).

We've been hearing this for years about DDG at this point.

Chatbots are nowhere near ready to replace the utility of Google. It's not even close. Even things like auto complete as you type are incredibly useful. Googling a place will usually give you a map link for the place in addition to other links.

And chatbots can be confidently wrong about things in a way Google really isn't. Google can lead you to links with wrong information but that's not usually the same thing. There's something to be said for the "authority" concept in Google search ranking.

The only reliable takeaway from this is that we will continue to predict the death of Google, just as we have been for at least 15 years [1].

Windsurf IDE from Codeium. Still some rough edges, but they’ve beat the Claude UI and Cursor for coding. Their code search is also next-level. Crazy efficiency gains for me for small-to-medium sized projects. Apparently, they have a ton of enterprise customers and are doing fast iteration loops relative to user signals (e.g. accepting diffs).

I think it's really underestimated how much "frivolous" obsessions lead to rapid learning. I think you can take any obsession and guide it down a productive path. Played a lot of Counter Strike back in the day, and went to school with two brothers who built a betting site for CS esports games (not real money) and it blew up. I think they're rich now. Final Fantasy may seem like it doesn't teach you much, but it taught you reading, probably inspired many people to learn about Japan and the Japanese language, build websites about it etc.
The thinking is that the trajectory of LLM's will get them an AI flywheel where they can pump money in and get unlimited amounts of intelligence either augmenting or replacing human labor for pennies on the dollar. The business 'thought leaders' on this view it as a largely zero-sum game: get there first or watch your business die as someone else beats you to it.

This has a very late-90's vibe and is quite entertaining to watch.
I am looking to install a garage opener and due to meatspace constraints I will probably have to use jackshaft. Jackshafts are predominantly LiftMaster and Chamberlain => the smarts are myQ, which I don't want anywhere near my network. Genie jackshafts seem fine, but Genie's reputation is bad to the point where garage door companies may refuse to work on them.

These motors also usually come with the ability to hook up a hardwired button. There are a couple of pre-made (konnected, ratgo) solutions or one could jury rig a z-wave relay.

Alternative is Overhead Garage door company that have separate SKUs for the unit, the battery and the smarts so one can pick two and use the same relay (my current plan).

There may be _some_ proprietary shenanigans with LM and Chamberlain hardwired buttons but Overhead's one really seems to just work through bridging two contacts
I'm a star inflater and I feel a little bad about it. AFAIK GitHub does not have a good "bookmark" mechanism besides stars. So when I come across an interesting/useful project I'll start it to be able to find it later. My browser bookmarks have become a bit of a black hole where URLs go to get lost.

So hopefully I didn't bookmark a project someone else is trying to judge the quality of based on stars. Who knows how much technical debt or damage I've caused because GitHub doesn't have a bookmark feature that isn't gamified.

> It is not TLA's, it is built in kingdom problem systemic to the way qcom runs itself

Yeah, it was one of the reasons I left. Because the chip is divided into many different processors, and broadly speaking the more area your processor takes the more your organization matters, there is this constant infighting for expanding the domain of your processor to capture an ever increasing piece of the pie.

This is of course an oversimplification. There are plenty of people just trying to build the best product they can and cooperating with other teams, but at the VP level and above it's a dog eats dog world.

At NVidia my role was much smaller, but what I saw was much more cooperative, and I think a big part of it is that the GPU is at the end of the day one giant chip that does everything and all the pieces work together like an orchestra. I even saw better communication between the software and hardware folks, which is always a challenge in the semiconductor industry.
I'll admit I haven't seen the training data but some basic googling shows a subset of the labeling is syntax annotations. I am not claiming LLMs parse code in the way you are suggesting, but they certainly have token level awareness of syntax and probable relations which are the roots of any programming language.

Unfortunately the recovery core, which is the interesting part of an ERV, is not included in the 3d stl's.

IMO, this feels like a more marketing project than anything open. ERVs are already very simple (a recovery core + blowers/fans). Commercial units last an extremely long time (some with 10 year warranties) and have comprehensive parts availability.

Also a long term window install is a bit janky and is likely to lose out on efficiency due to glass being a poor insulator.
The Germans have a much bigger experience of large coalition governments than us.
It's insanely bad. I asked Perplexity: "What are some places named after Alexander Hamilton?" It's answers: Fort Hamilton, Ohio (technically correct, except this is now known as simply Hamilton, not Fort Hamilton); Hamilton, Ontaria; Hamilton, NZ; Hamilton, NSW. None of those last three are correct.

I asked Google the same question and it has the Wikipedia page "List of things named after Alexander Hamilton" as the top organic result, with nothing ranked above it (ads included). It also offered an AI summary that isn't totally, flagrantly incorrect, listing Hamilton Place, Hamilton Hall, and Hamilton Heights in New York.

People who write these articles about search quality are blinded by some unstated ideology.
Correct. I still use my Nokia 6030 2G phone with T-Mobile in Minnesota/Wisconsin. And it's battery still lasts a week and I can't even feel it in my pocket it's so small. Impossible to destroy too; I've used roughly it since ~2008.

I've gone with Zwave instead - older house and hoping to keep wifi bands uncongested. It's about $30 per device, with Zooz as a big brand. It's been quite solid and the spousal-acceptance-factor is high.
Just use ZigBee or Z-wave devices and then use a bridge to connect to HA.

Anything else is just WiFi and vendor lockdown
NYC focuses on entry and exit points to track incoming and outgoing traffic, and internal criminal activity such as drug trafficking. Depending on your politics, you might argue that trafficking of certain drugs represents a form of protest against a violation of our Constitutional rights, and therefore the regime of NYC is authoritarian for continuing to oppose sensible governmental reform.

Hochul's support of the IDF and the ongoing Palestinian genocide and attempts to silence and ostracize opponents of the genocide clearly marks her as an authoritarian in my book.

>Take a $50k car and you'll find same cost cutting measures!

My step mom bought an expensive Cadillac a few years ago when she retired, the electronically actuated glove box has never really worked well and eventually got to where it wouldn't open at all. The whole thing is a bunch of plastic parts that move together to release one side of the glove box and gravity is supposed make it slowly drop down, but the side that it releases is the far side from the motor that's actuating it, and due to slack in all the plastic parts it doesn't actuate enough to actually release it. It takes like an hour to tear it apart so that you can shave down the catch. Cadillac has had the car for months at a time to fix it and was unable to and also unable to get a new glove box assembly. One day me and my son tore it apart and just shaved the part down ourselves, something neither of the service notices for that common issue recommended.

You should strike that word from your active vocabulary. Our armed forces are called Bundeswehr, and people might mistake an honest mistake for some Nazi leanings.

Closest to the first. He's joking that you can't own a Land Rover without being a mechanic and you can't use Home Assistant without being a programmer.

I love Home Assistant, and except for the occasional update breaking config files it's been very reliable, but there is no way 95% of people could get it installed, let alone get it set up to do anything useful.

The paper reiterates -- multiple times -- that optimizing for latency is obviously the right choice; the other major signal is instantaneous requests-in-flight (RIF). They explicitly mention, on the very first page, that their contributions are not that "low latency is good, aim for that", it's that A) they use a particular combination of RIF and latency to select replicas called their "hot-cold lexicographic rule" which they find works really well, and B) their "probes" (requests by the balancer to the backends, to discover what their current state is) are collected asynchronously rather than in the critical request serving path, to help further drive utilization. Most of the ink in the paper in Section 4 explains the design choices they made around probing as a result.

I'm not done with the paper yet, but the basics are in fact written on page one.
Then there were software libraries and the Intel C/C++ Compiler that favored Intel. They would place optimized code paths that only ran on Intel hardware in third party software. Intel has stopped doing that in recent years as far as I know (the MKL has Zen specific code paths), but that is a fairly recent change (maybe the past 5 years).

There were also ISA extensions. Even if Intel had trouble competing on existing code, they would often extend the ISA to gain a temporary advantage over their competitors by enabling developers to write more optimal code paths that would run only on Intel’s most recent CPUs. They have done less of that ever since the AVX-512 disaster, but Intel still is the one defining ISA extensions and it historically gained a short term advantage whenever it did.

Interestingly, the situation is somewhat inverted as of late given Intel’s failure to implement the AVX-512 family of extensions in consumer CPUs in a sane way, when AMD succeeded. Intel now is at a disadvantage to AMD because od its own ISA extension. They recently made AVX-10 to try to fix that, but it adds nothing that was not already in AVX-512, so AMD CPUs after Zen 3 would have equivalent code paths from AVX-512, even without implementing AVX-10.

Sorry. I almost resisted naming the language. But what got to me was my co-worker's complaint was about the very tech that made it possible to launch + save $x mil + save some nights and weekends and holidays for a handful of other devs.

And that the complaint was: the language choice makes it less maintainable (hiring pool is smaller) -- but the two factors I mentioned above actually contribute greatly to maintainability.

My original comment could have just been: "a production support tool can be a place to prototype new features."

And _other_ teams could have used other tech to solve the problem. But for the team that had the context and the responsibility, this was the highest probability shot. After hitting the target, a complaint was not the expectation.
