Well, I’m cheap so instead of spending 300 bucks on a Google router I bought three Xiaomi ax3000T for €35 a piece. They are listed as compatible with openwrt but for the last couple of month I’ve just been using them with the stock firmware and the WiFi mesh with backhaul works great.

It’s otherwise very basic though, it lacks many features you’d expect like guest AP and so on…

I used shop and ship but there wasn’t much choice in the UAE. It belonged to Aramex at the time which was a respected UPS like in the region. It was a while back. I can’t speak for what they are worth now and how they work in places where Aramex isn’t as well implanted.

Depending on your country you can use a remailer. I used to use one when I lived in the middle east and couldn’t order from the US. I has a bunch of addresses worldwide you can use to order and they aggregate and forward the packages.

The only problem I had with my ZigBee network was pairing the lightbulb but that was because the UX to set the bulb in pairing mode required to switch them on and off 5 1/2 time with a too precise timing for a normal human.

Mostly an issue with the bulb really.

That won’t prevent typo squatting. This article is a out people wanting to add a dependency to “famousLib” and instead typing “famusLib”.

What probably help more in Go is the lack of a central repo so you actually need to “go get github.com/whoever…” so typo squatting is a bit be a bit more complicated.

On the other hand it will be an easy fix in NPM by simply adding a check to libraries names and reject names that are too similar since it’s centralized.

First, we actually don’t really need that research, indoor growing is a very well known activities that is already performed in many places. There are large indoor farms in northern Europe (cold), in the middle east (hot). Greenhouse, tunnels, aren’t exactly new.

Second, it’s not what those companies were doing, they were trying to create farming factories that are fully automated, their goals was to remove humans, not to find ways to fight climate change.

I never understood the economics of those Agtech.

The margins on vegetables are shit.

Consumers won’t care that each of your potatoes had it’s own email addresse, a twitter account and was monitored by an AI.

Farmers are not just redneck assholes who needed some MIT grad to tell them how to increase yield, there’s already a huge agro industry and research and we’ve reached a point where the yield of carrots and others is pretty much already maximised. Assuming they are genius and get a 1% yield improvement that would be enormous.

A farm hand cost $25k a year, and engineer cost $150k and you haven’t priced in the tech and the building…

So you basically get a business where the cost of operation is about 20 time higher (and that’s conservative) than a guy with a plot of land and a tractor for sensibly the same yield (if not worse) and zero product differentiation in the market.

Well, I guess they just figured out the economics…

McKinsey, Deloitte & co will provide that service.

Does anyone else know a daring character named after a state with a five letter last name?

That’s so reductive. The guy is MUCH MUCH MORE.

Self hosted server to do what?

Because I have a self hosted server running on a refurb Lenovo mini-pc that I bought for $90 and it does a fine job running the dozen or so docker image of service I need.

But I ain’t gonna run no LLM on that machine, that’s for sure.

Pointless debate. Pichai is a corporate management suit, he wouldn’t know code if it slapped him in the face. He just need to pretend Google is at the top of the AI game and he just made up meaningless number on an even more meaningless metrics.

Oh look, the version number match the number of users. ;)

You realize how ironic your suggestion is right ?

invisible touch button […] hates usability.

Sooo… An enterprise cloud ready native DevOps cold fusion AI climate change llm prompt: insert more marketing keyword here ready…

In case you missed it, in our broken model of civilization a CEO’s only responsibility is to increase value for shareholders. Not to clients, not to employees, not to the biosphere.

Market cap increased, job’s done successfully.

Apple’s ram is hand carved by blindfolded virgins with only the light of a blood moon. Thus the price.

Nice vapor-tech.

Well, they forgot that hardware needs an actual purpose once you’re done with the market of people who purchase any new overpriced gadget to use as status symbol.

Setting timers for eggs and pasta isn’t one.

I think they have one per country. Feel free to apply here if you have in-depth knowledge and contact in the french political scene:

I mean for a hobby project that no one cares about sure. Otherwise the whole CI/CD process was invented exactly to avoid having devs push untested and untrackable crap on production servers. So once there are more than two people in a team and paying customers with access to a lawyer that’s going to be a hard pass.

Anyway the main reason your CI/CD are slow is that you’re using $5 workers with 1Gb ram. There’s a reason the build is faster on your 12 core/64Gb laptop, the issue is usually not the process, the issue is being cheap on the infrastructure. The only good thing about GitHub CI workers is that they are cheap but performance wise they are garbage.
