> At this point the hardware side of things was fine but my Zigbee network was gone.

How come the hardware was ok but the network was gone? Did some Z2M config files go wrong because of two dongles? Did you try to restore VM from snapshots?

Losing the network and having to re-pair everything would be a nightmare for me given the number of Zigbee devices I run (~35) and that some of them are mounted in switch boxes in the walls.
Cool! Tell AI I’d like eggs over medium with hash browns, bacon, and an English muffin. I’ll just be waiting here for AI to take care of that.
Yes. The regulation is set up to destroy smaller startups & organisations; the only folks who have a hope of complying with it are Big Tech.
No, why would it? If we never collapse the wave function, we'll still have states where we only saw spin up, states where we only saw spin down, states where we saw more spin up, and states where we saw more spin down. And all of these are understood to be real in the MWI, so some observers will be guaranteed to exist that calculate that some state has a high amplitude, but they will never experience it, no matter how many billions of times they run the same experiment.
Can this be fixed by removing the efuse or having a custom firmware?
I loved Plato on my TI-99/4A computer when I was a kid. I credit it with helping me become a much better student. When my oldest son was struggling in grammar school, 15 years ago, I got it running on the Mame emulator for him, and it turned him and then his sibling into excellent students!

I don't understand why there isn't an even better version of this in the modern age. A complete curriculum K-12 that is self-driven in a similar manner. Mostly the same methodology of mostly reading and images with quizzes after sections. Then a total category exam. Maybe scatter in short effective videos, but it should not be video centered!
And this is exactly why I like to buy AirGradient hardware. Your CO2 sensors are some of the best I've found for the price point, and I love your outdoor monitor as well.

That said; I have started moving towards using SEN5x for a lot of my air monitoring. I've noticed the SHT3x temp sensors pretty consistently flake out after 2-3 years, and the footprint of your current DIY kit is rather larger.

Would you consider an updated version with the SEN6x once it comes out, with perhaps an ESP32c3, rather than the 8266?
COPPA does not appear to require age verification. It actually appears to have the opposite effect, only coming into effect when the service provider has actual knowledge of the user's age. Actively avoiding collecting the user's age or clues to it is safer for the service provider.
This effectively makes censorship much simpler for the government, no need to chase down a million little sites,just casually lean on the few big ones remaining.
Modelica not only has discrete events (see other comment), it includes support for synchronous (clocked) systems of equations directly in the language. These kinds of language semantics are necessary if you want to have unambiguous discrete models.

I'm focusing on the bike part here because, as a bike geek, I could draw one from memory that's correct in all details. But to a non-bikie that's more difficult than you'd think. I can't find the picture gallery right now but an article about it, which links another article:

https://web.archive.org/web/20240419001426/https://www.wired...

So the fact that the AI models screw this up so badly is understandable. Sure, they screw up in ways that humans wouldn't, such as the beak backwards in one of the pictures (pointy end toward the bird!) because they don't know or care about something every human would know: What a beak is for and what it looks like in general. Or for that matter the biodynamics of how a pelican's long, spindly legs could, in fact, work a pair pedals. But ask me to draw a pelican from memory, and have a good laugh (if you're better at it than me) because to me, they're just kind of a peripheral vision, pink abstraction, not something I focus on understanding. And that's what they are to the AI model too.
“Near my network” suggested it was a security issue. Are there other companies running a cloud-based api for garage doors that don’t charge? It does cost money to keep the servers going.

I personally just took a cheap remote, attached its button to an esp32 with a relay, put on mqtt, and interfaced it with homebridge. Now it shows up in the home app. Works well! iCloud via Apple TV connects it to the internet securely.
>I'd love Claude or any of the major AI chat interfaces to have a 'forking' capability so I can go back to a certain point in time in the chat and fork off a new rabbit hole of context.

ChatGPT has this feature: forking occurs by editing an old message. It will retain the entire history, which can still be navigated and interacted with. The UX isn’t perfect, but it gets the job done.
Show HN: I made a multiplayer crossword game
Hey HN, I’ve been working on this multiplayer crossword for a while now. There’s still so much more on my todo list for it, but I think it’s time to launch and get some feedback with what I have.

Every hour, a new crossword (13×13 or 15×15) is generated at https://crosswordracing.com If you prefer smaller/faster, every ten minutes, a new mini crossword (7×7 or 11×11) is generated at https://crosswordracing.com/mini

You’re playing each crossword at the same time as everyone else, racing to complete it first. You can’t see what you’ve got right, until you correctly complete the entire grid. But you get some fun feedback on what other players are doing: a cell turns green if one other player has correctly solved it, orange if two other players have, and red if three or more other players have entered the correct letter in that cell.

Chat is emoji-only for the first half of the game (i.e. 30 minutes for the front-page, 5 minutes for the mini). After that, it unlocks and you can chat freely.

If you’re not done when the next crossword is generated, you can just stay on the current page for as long as you like and keep working to solve it.

I didn’t manage to get user accounts done before my arbitrarily-imposed launch date, so everyone is anonymous for now. I definitely want to build accounts, streaks, trophies, etc. The other big thing I’m excited to build is a “team mode”. You should be able to play on a team, where you can chat freely with your team-mates, and the cell colors indicate what the other team has (collaboratively) got correct. I think that would be a lot of fun.

Thanks for reading, checking it out, and for any feedback. Feel free to ask me anything, of course.
Fundamentally the heart is a muscle and anabolic steroids and test stimulate muscle growth in muscles at a cellular level. There’s no way to have one and not the other.

That’s just the tip though. They have all kinds of far reaching effects ranging from curtailing height, significantly reducing IQ, constant skin breakouts, altered moods, hair loss, severe anxiety, paranoia, kidney and liver failure, bone breakages etc, severe and permanent decrease in the testosterone you naturally produce etc.

I don't think I actually agree with this guy. As anyone who is trying to grow their body knows, rest is important -- just as important as working out and workouts aren't all-day affairs either. You can get very strong with only a few hours/week in the gym.

That's different than subsistence farming, where you're doing a lot of work at sub max levels most every day. You may get strongish, but you won't get large.

Consider a modern day elite marathon runner, who works out >10 hours/week. They can only do so at sub max levels of effort. The top end are prone to injury (overtraining), and the training itself limits muscle development.

The majority of us are getting weaker and fatter. A few of us are still testing the limits of human physiology. The difference is you have a choice to be whatever part of the spectrum you want to be. Most choose "weak and fat".

Much of this is tied to nutrition, which I don't think is talked about in the fine article. Same story, we have a choice to eat the best for us food, or to eat crap. That wasn't always the case for the subsistence farmer.
I swear a lot of people buy the cheapest thing knowing it won't last because they are addicted to shopping
123D Design was the golden age for accessible DIY CAD. Of course it was too good to be true so AutoDesk killed it off.
Testosterone is a very broad spectrum way to mess with your whole body.

Much better to do something targeted like reduce myostatin.
Waste and inefficiency aside, a public postal service should never turn a profit - and, if it does, it should either invest in improving quality of service, or lower the prices until it breaks even.

If the USPS were profitable, it'd mean you are all paying more than you should to send letters and packages. It's a basic infrastructure service, much like roads and the interstate system.
When you say, “monitor red flags” what is actually happening ?

How are you determining red flags ?

Will an LLM be running every x hours analyzing news, so I can give very specific things to look for ?
Getting out of nuclear power. Getting out of coal power. Getting out of gas power. All before even the previous "getting out of..." was really done, understood and compensated. Blindly building renewables without regard for grid stability. Negative growth in necessary energy storage capacity. Negative growth in on-demand power. Decades of lag in building new transmission lines between the wind-rich, solar-poor, industry-poor north and the wind-poor, solar-rich, industry-rich south. All while having to vastly increase energy taxes (which make up roughly half of the energy bill in Germany now) to pay for all the getting-out-of and greening, while having to import liquefied gas and reactivate gas and coal power plants at massive costs.
There's no guarantee of this. It's quite possible that muscle and bone cells require the stress of weight loading to develop properly and that there's no simple hack to make them do it without that response.
Yep super simple. You just have to make individual value judgements every day on thousands of pieces of content for SEVENTEEN highly specific priority areas. Then keep detailed records on each value judgement such that it can hold up to legal scrutiny from an activist court official. Easy peasy.
Investment fund 'aggressively' sells Magnificent 7 stocks amid fears of AI costs
Hey, it's AI and so it is good, right?

Seriously, it sounds like something kids can have fun with, or bored deskworkers. But a serious use case, at the current state of the art? I doubt it.
They'll also tear their ligaments and tendons when they go to use that muscle mass...
9front/plan9. Unix 2.0.
Apple doesn't make a non-crippled tablet. Surface Pro 11 is fast enough and MS doesn't arbitrarily decide how I use the device. It also plays nicer with my mix of non-Apple products whereas Apple is far more annoying in that regard.
Yes, but it sounds like part of the point is that you want to put the fear of the Lord into small-fry operators.

They mention especially in their CSAM discussion that, in practice, a lot of that stuff ends up being distributed by smallish operators, by intention or by negligence—so if your policy goal is to deter it, you have to be able to spank those operators too. [0]

> In response to feedback, we have expanded the scope of our CSAM hash-matching measure to capture smaller file hosting and file storage services, which are at particularly high risk of being used to distribute CSAM.

Surely we can all think of web properties that have gone to seed (and spam) after they outlive their usefulness to their creators.

I wonder how much actual “turnover” something like 4chan turns over, and how they would respond to the threat of a 10% fine vs an £18mm one…

WordPress Forces Users to Agree That Pineapple Is Good on Pizza
Silly.

1. Myostatin inhibitors are already in development. We're already using a drug that stops us from getting fat, why would we not use a drug that prevents atrophy?

2. This is entirely focused on what would be efficient at a global scale, while decisions are made on individual's desires. People (in general) want to look muscular and fit; it's as hardcoded into our reproductive desires as anything else is. Given increasing resources, is it reasonable to assert that people will choose to totally forgo their biological body? Why is it impossible for them to have the same productive advantages while retaining a physical body for when they want it?

Human desire trumps production, even in the long term, or at least medium term. I could eat monkey chow every day and never have to do dishes or cook ever again, and save an extra 10 hours a day. I could wear the same thing every day so a machine can fold it. I can put my brain in a jar to avoid commuting.
But no matter how much technology advances, if I still spend 8 hours working with my brain implant or whatever then I'm still doing at worst 24% as good as the guy working 24/7. Why would it ever be worth giving up such basic human pleasures as eating or sex just for 4x the salary?
I tend to agree. I also think that the vast majority of code out there is quite frankly pretty bad, and all that LLM's do is learn from it, so while I agree that LLM's will help make a lot more software, I doubt it would increase the general quality in any significant way, and thus there will always be a need for people who can do actual programming as opposed to just prompting to fix complex problems. That said, not sure if I want my future career to be swimming in endless piles of LLM-copy-paste-spaghetti. Maybe it's high time to learn a new degree. Hmm.
> Same with say dentist.

Now you're dealing with a person, not a product. And in that case you have to follow your intuition, your gut feeling, regarding whether this individual is somebody to trust. There is no way around this.
> But what about when you retire and carry this forward, likely alone.

Curious what you mean by this: once I retire from work, what life situations will force me to be in close contact for 10+ hours a day, for years, with people I wouldn’t otherwise want to deal with, ready to cast their arbitrary negative judgement on everything I do and put pressure on me due to their own demons, pet peeves and rat race ambitions that I couldn’t care less about? Because that’s really my problem, I have wonderful relationships with wife/family/etc., with whom I am very much aligned in terms of life goals, so these issues do not occur outside of work, or are temporary.

I expect my early retirement to be just wonderful, and I can’t wait for it to happen. I just reached 100X living expenses in 2024 thanks to a generous market, just looking for one final 401k max out in 2025 and a tiny bit of courage!
AfD is (like BSW) extremely anti-Ukraine. Seriously, the party boss just called for recognizing Russia’s victory. That‘s the big divider, on immigration issues they could find common ground.
That is nice because the xiaomi stuff is all over the place in HA. Some devices (the air cleaner for example) have built in support but many of them need custom not really supported addons from HACS. Like the WiFi fans, weighing scales, rice cooker etc
Nothing because I’m a senior and LLM’s never provide code that pass my sniff test, and it remains a waste of time.

I have a job at a place I love and get more people in my direct network and extended contacting me about work than ever before in my 20 year career.

And finally I keep myself sharp by always making sure I challenge myself creatively. I’m not afraid to delve into areas to understand them that might look “solved” to others. For example I have a CPU-only custom 2D pixel blitter engine I wrote to make 2D games in styles practically impossible with modern GPU-based texture rendering engines, and I recently did 3D in it from scratch as well.

All the while re-evaluating all my assumptions and that of others.

If there’s ever a day where there’s an AI that can do these things, then I’ll gladly retire. But I think that’s generations away at best.

Honestly this fear that there will soon be no need for human programmers stems from people who either themselves don’t understand how LLM’s work, or from people who do that have a business interest convincing others that it’s more than it is as a technology. I say that with confidence.

What data do you collect about users, and are there any protections against taking trading ideas? Institutional traders would be wary of using the application, cautious of losing any edge by tipping their hands of what equities they are looking at to a third party.

If the application is meant for retail, how do you plan on funding the project? Answering this question would better illuminate the stakeholder's incentives and if they align with users' interests.
This gets at the point of of the original "cheeseburger" vs having to explain what a cheeseburger is to get a cheeseburger
Outdated or not, that mindset was inappropriate then and it's inappropriate today. Granted I don't necessarily expect kids in college to know how to behave, but it isn't cool to be a dick to people just because they use one OS or the other. It's especially sad when you consider that these are a bunch of nerds, who know what it's like to be a social outcast, and then turn around and inflict that on one of their own.
I'm not OP, but 90Mb for a note taking app is incredibly bloated.
There's two versions of access to "card emulation" mode:

- The EEA-only HCE (which lets you emulate the card in your app in software, for a limited list of use cases, which makes it a non-starter for fully offline systems unfortunately, as there's no protection against exfiltrating any keys from the app), and

- The some-non-EEA-countries-only "full smartcard access" solution, which requires you to pay Apple and do a ton of (presumably also very expensive) certification.

So for different reasons, neither is something in scope for hobbyists at the moment, unfortunately.
That’s why I’m sticking to Zigbee as much as possible. The only place where there’s an internet connection is at the Home Assistant computer which has a Zigbee USB stick.
I didn't imply a yes/no; based on TFA, I assume that they used a 5-point scale, with the middle option being phrased something like "somewhat valuable", and there being two more positive ones. TFA is critically lacking in both the survey details and what other features got on similar surveys.

OpenAI is like the super luxurious yacht all pretty and shiny, while Google's AI department is the humongous nuclear submarine at least 5 times bigger than the yacht with a relatively cool conning tower, but not that spectacular to look at.

Like the tanker which is still steering to fully align with the course people expect it to be, which they don't recognize that it will soon be there and be capable of rolling over everything which comes in its way.

If OpenAi claims they're close to having AGI, Google most likely already has it and is doing its shenanigans with the US government under the radar. While Microsoft are playing the cool guys and Amazon is still trying to get their act together.
It is essentially requiring tech companies to work for the UK government as part of law enforcement. They are required to monitor and censor users or face fines and Ofcom has the ability to shutdown things they don't like.

This basically ensures that the only people allowed to host online services for other people in the UK will be large corporations. As they are the only ones that can afford the automation and moderation requirements imposed by this bill.

You should be able to self-host content, but you can't do something like operate a forums website or other smaller social media platform unless you can afford to hire lawyers and spend thousands of dollars a month hiring moderators and/or implementing a bullet proof moderation system.

Otherwise you risk simply getting shutdown by Ofcom. Or you can do everything yo are supposed to do and get shutdown anyways. Good luck navigating their appeals processes.
Grappling with this hard right now. Anyone who is still of the "these things are stupid and will never replace me" mindset needs to sober up real quick. AGI level agentic systems are coming, and fast. A solid 90% of what we thought of as software engineering for the last 30 years will be completely automated by them in the next couple years. The only solution I see so far is to be the one building them.

Thank you for that careful clarification. The discussion in "Bell's Life in London and Sporting Chronicle" was far less enlightening.
"This time"? It's been months. The DTSes were built and upstreamed by community members. Qualcomm was too busy absolutely wasting their time on the Windows Dev Kit which is now dead in the water. They clearly still don't get it.

And AFAICT they're not taking any leadership in the technical areas where ARM is not great (bootloader/DTS selection-y stuff, which has been a varying level of nightmare the entire time I've been tinkering with non-x86 devices. One thing when you're selling an embedded product; a different one when you start wanting distros to support your platform).
Pro artist who specializes in vector work here: I would use Adobe Illustrator to draw it, while looking at actual photos of pelicans and bicycles, and export an SVG. If it needed to have a lot of named parts I could make that happen.

If I had the latest version of Illustrator then I would consider seeing how well its image generation does, but I do not because it has a lot of exciting new bugs that break my normal workflow. I believe that under the hood that works by feeding your text prompt to a bitmap image generator and running the same old autotrace on it, which results in some pretty messy and hard-to-edit shapes.
This article:

1) Does not describe a layoff, which is an active action the company has to take to release some number of current employees, and instead describes a recent policy of "not hiring." This is a passive action that could be undertaken for any number of reasons, including those that might not sound so great for the CEO to say (e.g. poor performance of the company);

2) Cites no sources other than the CEO himself, who has a history of questionable actions when talking to the press [0];

3) Specifically mentions at the end of the article that they are still hiring for engineering positions, which, you know, kind of refutes any sort of claim that AI is replacing engineers.

Though, this does make me realize a flaw in the language of my proposed bet, which is that any CEO who claims to be laying off engineers due to advancement of LLMs could be lying, and CEOs are in fact incentivized to scapegoat LLMs if the real reason would make the company look worse in the eyes of investors.
