Looks to me like a low cost version of the same could be designed with 2 CPU fans ($1), and a large 3D print ($1 - for the DIY version) or injection moulding for a commercial version ($0.30). Do time-sync between the units with grid frequency sampling (free), and have the whole thing controlled by a 2 cent microcontroller and a pair of triacs.

The whole thing, designed and made in China could probably come to a BOM under $4, and retail in the USA for $12.
The definition of hate speech used to be centered around terrorism and was initially sold to the UK public as stopping "Islamic hate preachers and stopping terrorism". This has now expanded far past that and people are being investigated and arrested for simply opposing immigration (which is often conflated with racism disingenuously), or criticising the actions of Israel, teenagers posting rap lyrics on facebook, and numerous others that I have forgotten about.

If you are not bothered by the expansion of these powers because some people have said things you disapprove of there is nothing I can say to convince you.

Panera used to sell a drink that contained close to the FDA maximum recommended daily quantity of caffeine, and also allowed free refills. Several people died, and sales were halted after some wrongful death lawsuits.

This isn't to say that caffeine is dangerous. Danger isn't an intrinsic property of a substance but rather an emergent property of the context in which it is used. (This is why the schedules of the Controlled Substance Act are inherently stupid.)
It’s not a very specific point of comparison to serve as a response to scott_w’s question. You can infer that legislation is sometimes badly interpreted and badly enforced. I’m sure this new legislation will be badly interpreted and badly enforced in some instances. That doesn't lead us to the sort of over-the-top scenario that briandear was painting.
Off-grid LLM on mesh radio network (Meshtastic)
I deployed a local LLM platform on Meshtastic.

It is completely offline, requires no-internet, on both client and server side. So essentially disaster-proof apocalypse-grade ChatGPT.

Users can connect to it with a LoRa module from 1km away (tested in Budapest suburban area) or 8-15km with line of sight. Theoretically, this can reach even more than 1000km, the record is 1336km on LoRa Wan.

It can prove useful in disaster area, where mobile network and internet is not available. In addition to being a robust comm network, government can utilize the radio mesh to distribute helpful AI agents to people in need, get them updated on key info and survival guide.

Whilst I understand your point, I don't think banning notifications is actually a good step.

They are a symptom of something else. For group chat, its missing out on socialising, Nobody wants that. How do you allow kids to socialise via mobile phone is that actual question there.

For video based stuff, _what_ are they being exposed to? how tightly does the selection algorithm push the viewer into certain categories? Who is making that media, and why?

Given that UK had the BBC to "inform and entertain", why are we outsourcing the entertain and leaving the "inform" to people sponsored by shady companies and malicious actors?
Why would it be the "kool aid of their employers"? My employers would surely love to track every single click I make on the work and even personal PC. If the government tracks it that's also fine. Still less risk for them if I'm a nutter and the checks get outsourced to the government. Once the data leaks they can check what I was doing anyway.
Very interesting. I thought about a lot of projects over the same lines, providing similar services to various professions like the barbers, lawn mowers, painters etc. As I am not physically in the US, marketing and support has to be done virtually which seems bit of a blocker at this point.
I feel it must fall at some point (I’m not sure I’m comfortable saying it’s a bubble tbh so I’ll stick with ‘fall’, not ‘pop’) but I’m not going to bet as to when. I thought the market would turn back in 2018 when my 401k was getting 25% growth year after year. I was certain of it, but it’s kept going… People just seem really bullish about US corporations right now, particularly tech, and that’s only been solidified moreso in recent times because people believing this made it so (okay, to an extent, the companies are decent too). I hear it over and over again one way or another: people don’t want to invest elsewhere because it’s the US companies that make the returns they like.

It must be unsustainable on some level but what’s going to need to happen for people to stop thinking this way? I used to think it wouldn’t take much but now I think it might take a lot. It wouldn’t surprise me if this lasts another decade or more and all this looks like the Japanese economy of the 70s and 80s when it was the future, its corporations were taking over the world, and all its investments made the returns you couldn’t get elsewhere. The one day, suddenly, all that started to sound silly.

Or it could all just pop tomorrow because some CEO sends a bad tweet. Heck, it’s all soothsaying.
> Now, swedes are complaining, germans (i.e. me) are buying energy and raising prices. There will be a time, when they will import energy from us. Just as much as we exported energy to France when half their atomic powerplants have been shutdown due to no cooling water available.

Sweden is pretty self-sufficient in power generation, most times I've checked the electricity interchange maps we are exporting electricity, never caught a moment where we imported significant amounts of it.

I'd very much like to not pay exorbitant prices because Germany's energy policies have been misguided, I understand suffering it during a time of crisis (like the Russian invasion of Ukraine) but right now it hurts on many fronts: German's proto-recession (caused in part by high cost of energy) affects Swedish exports since Germany is one of our largest importers; extremely high energy prices shuts down our industry; consumer spending goes down because people get uncertain about prices and buffer more against this uncertainty.

I really like Germany, and have been impressed by the rapid push to renewables after you got fleeced by believing in Russia but it's hard to shake the feeling of resentment on how slow moving your bureaucracy is because of industry's power over your politicians...
Rational in terms of money risk/reward.

What can be sold of is TikTok international - not just the US part - in a fair market - say sold via an IPO - that would be worth hundreds of billions.

It is simply a better deal to exit the US market and still have something plus the chance of return rather than to sell at a very depressed price.
Half of US social media (and more than half of Twitter) is saying US controls the narrative on US social media and something should be done about it. describe logical knots required to explain why that is the narrative if US controls the narrative?

As a Russian people from the West saying how it's total censorship and totalitarianism amuse me.

And I see how totalitarian and censored regimes are using of the lack of censorship with great success.

You can get CAD Sketcher for Blender which might help.

But Blender is a mesh manipulation environment. Ideal for designing 3D models to go in virtual environments. Not awful for 3D models that are only going to a 3D printer, but fundamentally not the right tool for CAD for general manufacturing, because it cannot natively produce STEP-type geometry.
I've been working on getting a calendar on an Inkplate 10. Great hardware but my god is the Arduino software awful. It doesn't even have incremental builds! A one line change to my code means it completely recompiles a ton of libraries including mbedtls! The edit-compile-run cycle is like 3 minutes. Awful.

Arduino code and APIs are also really badly designed, and badly documented. The Inkplate uses an Xtensa ESP32 so the network code uses this crap:

https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/2.0.17/libra...

Does `int read();` block? Zero comments so you'll have to read the code, which by the way is very hard to find because of course intellisense doesn't work in the gimped VSCode that Arduino is calling their IDE (it's better than the old one at least, though it wouldn't take much).

The really frustrating thing is that Arduino has basically zero competition. I was hopeful for Mbed Studio for a while but they spent so long fucking it up with web based compilers, terrible home-brewed build systems (yotta? I think they went through several bad attempts), before finally doing the right thing (Mbed Studio) that I think everyone had given up waiting and they killed the whole project. Also it's obviously ARM only.

And I can't see that really changing. I think there's PlatformIO but I think that just wraps the Arduino code in less awfulness. As long as hardware manufacturers are writing their drivers and examples for Arduino it's going to be hard for anyone else to compete.

Ok I think my one-line change has finished compiling now...

You have to understand that at the time communism was a real option. And while we now think they lived in poverty and so on, they didn't really have much worse conditions than the rest of europe right after the war.

So governments had to do social reforms to avoid revolutions.

The fact that now communism is no longer considered a viable option by most people is why now capitalism can go unchecked and reveal its true face.

2005: 35.2%

2001: 40.7%

1997: 43.2%

1992: 41.9%

The last election where the winning party got over 50% of the popular vote was .. 1931.

"On systems with MEv11, a bug exists in older versions (of MEv11) that allows for unsigned code execution, at a very early stage in the boot process, to the point that almost all of the ME firmware in flash can be fully replaced. The ME is also what implements Boot Guard, and the hack is possible before Boot Guard is enforced, allowing for it to be disabled."

"Libreboot’s build system automatically downloads this older version, runs me_cleaner on it, and applies the deguard hack; this includes machine-specific ME configuration, which is added per machine by extracting it from a dump of the original flash. The resulting configuration (for the MFS partition in the ME) is then inserted into the generic ME image."

I've got a counter-flow heat exchanger, but it looks like they're using a different design:

> Each OpenERV TW4 module has a very quiet pair of fans, pointed in opposite directions, and a heat exchanger in a 6 inch pipe, that goes through a wall. The hot, polluted air from inside goes out for 30 seconds, and the heat from it is stored in the heat exchanger.

> Then, the fan reverses direction, moving clean air from outdoors to the indoors. On it's way in, it picks up that heat from the heat exchanger. This type of heat exchanger is called a regenerative heat exchanger, or less commonly, a regenerator. The kind shown in the video is a recuperative type, not regenerative. Recuperative types are what most people think of, consisting of a thin layer of material that separates two gas streams. Regenerative heat exchangers are different. They briefly store the energy while air flows in one direction, then release it when the air flow reverses.

> The OpenERV TW4 modules are made to always work in pairs. One always sucks air while the other blows air, synchronized over WiFi. This should be done, or hot air would be pushed out from the building through the walls during the ingress phase, causing heat loss.

Being on a budget and buying X1C with AMS has nothing in common. It's a bad choice. It's a really awesome printer that just works, but it's not a budget option.

If you're on a budget, buy yourself BambuLab A1M, which is the best quality-to-money ratio.
Right, so calling it "3rd party" would be a stretch, but it's definitely not "1st party". I think "2nd party" would be a fair compromise.

In this case the poster is not actually going that far off the reservation.

A parametric CAD package starts off with some variables, makes 2D representations of them that can be solved by a constraint solver, extends those 2D representations into a third dimension parametrically, connects 2D representations to earlier generated geometry etc.

If you change an early parametric variable, it ripples through the design because the design is a directed graph (indeed, CAD designers often run into situations where they have tried to do things which would create a cycle in a graph -- use the dimensions of a subsequent part in an earlier part, which the CAD package cannot solve).

Most of the core calculations involved are functional in this regard -- for example a 2D sketch to a 3D extrusion, a 2D sketch to a sweep along a path.

I was reading up on counter-flow heat exchangers a few weeks ago after I'd just installed a MVHR system and realised that the actual heat exchanger components themselves were, counter-intuitively, a fraction of the price of the whole unit.

I was surprised when I saw they're mostly made of thin plastic and don't depend on thermal capacity at all (unlike, say, HX espresso machines). The way they work is quite simple:

c
w o
a │ │ l
r └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ d
m

r air now 45 deg ◄─────────────────────────air at 0 deg o
r

i │ │ a

It's just a bunch of thin parallel channels where warm and cold air flow in opposite directions, separated by thin plastic walls. Because the flows are counter to each other, there's always a temperature difference driving heat transfer across the dividing walls, even as the warm air gradually cools and the cold air gradually warms.

The lightweight plastic walls are advantageous here - while plastic isn't particularly conductive, the walls are so thin that heat transfers readily. It's how these heat exchangers can achieve 80-90% efficiency without needing any expensive materials or thermal mass. The warm exhaust air leaves only slightly warmer than the incoming cold air, having transferred most of its heat to the incoming stream.

Clever design.
> I think that a lot of the early agile movement was kind of a immune reaction against it, until it was too coopted by the suit people.

If you're in a hiring position it's important to be very, very selective about who you hire into any engineering management or even more agile-specific roles. I remembering interviewing for an "agile coach" in a previous role - the CTO thought we needed one - and the first two or three were basically the same: all had their acronyms and their flavours of how they'd memorised agile literature. Then one guy came in who did know all that, but was also ex-British Army and had a load of practical, insightful things to say. And that's who we picked, and he later became the head of engineering. Useful agile knowledge is practical and insightful. It's not theory.

> Don't get me started on the idea that you can cool a closed room by running a fan or opening a fridge.

On that note, I'm curious if hybrid heating/cooling solutions will ever take off. Other than this OpenERV product I mean, which I guess technically counts!

Low Tech Magazine mentioned some experiments in their article on compressed air energy storage (CAES). Instead of trying to make that form of energy storage an adiabatic process, the idea is to use the heat produced/required in the compression/decompression steps in the household to improve the energy efficiency (e.g. use heat produced during compression to heat water; do the decompression in a space that should be cold anyway like a basement used for food storage).

Cool project! Around that topic I can also recommend a channel of this engineer (switch to auto-translate):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cv0s6TgwbJg

Paraphrased:

- push-pull ventilation is easy to install and comparatively cheap

- it's prone to hygiene issues like blowing dirt out of the filters back into the air and providing a moist environment for microorganisms in some operational conditions

- it's prone to windy conditions

- the numbers stated by commercial vendors seem to have no basis in reality, there seems to be no vendor providing data based on the relevant testing standard for these systems. OPenERV states they want to get it tested by Passivehause institute but also say no lab data measured yet.

Might be just my counter-factual gut-feeling, maybe a mechanical window opener based on EspHome for short pulsed passive ventilation intervals is actually more efficient, easier to implement and need less maintenance? Not aware of any comparisons though and last time I checked I could only find some finicky 3d printed actors that might not survive a guest opening the window.
Okay, but what kind of voting system can capture this well (and what does it mean)?

We don't know how people would have voted in this hypothetical. (Likely there would be a lot more parties, which generally is good.)

Also C+R could have formed a coalition. (Or merge into a new party ... or - I haven't looked up how R came to be, but I assume it's a spin-off of/from C - R could have merged back into C, right?)
If you're in a hiring position and hire anyone who uses agile as anything but a way to blend in with all the bullshit today you should quit and do something more productive with your life, like watching paint dry.

> While the Memes generally refer to the 3210 or the 3310, the classic 5110 is no less a condender for most robust general use mobile phone available.

The reason for that (I think) is not that the 5110 is less robust, but that the 3210 and 3310 were much more widespread - they came onto the market when mobile phones really started to become widespread, while the 5110 (their predecessor), with its stub antenna and bulkier size, looks a bit like the last representative of the previous era...

ERV is apparently the term used for HRVs that also exchange humidity and keep it in/out as required, though I'm not sure that makes much logical sense since E is for Energy and H is for Heat, no mention of humidity.

Possibly just different terms used in different countries where the humidity is a bigger problem (very hot and/or very cold outside air).

This current OpenERV product appears to use dessicants for this purpose but might be an optional add-on?
