I use Home Assistant (running on Yellow) with ZigBee, Matter/Thread and Z-Wave. If I had to start today, I'd get a Pi 4/5 and Home Assistant ZBT-2. I would not run anything else on the Pi. Let HA OS take it over to ensure smooth updates. Then I'd add ZWA-2 if I need Z-Wave. Not you'd need 2x ZBT-2 if you want both ZigBee and Matter/Thread.
“The thought had occasionally crossed my mind: ‘Are we building tools to replace ourselves?’ But I’d convinced myself we were just automating the mundane to free everyone up for more strategic work.
“That narrative came crashing down when thousands of colleagues no longer had jobs.”
Our industry is full of naive motherfuckers like this. I see them daily at work.
Whenever you see someone or yourself repeating corporate talking points, remember that the core interests of the corporation contradict yours. The corpo only has you there because it can't make as much money without you. It only pays you as much because it can't get away with paying you less. There's plenty variance and nuance between cases but all that's overlayed on top of the base interests, it doesn't obviate or replace them. The core interests are enforced as times get tougher or there's other opportunity that promises to further them against yours.
It's funny how his calculation factors in the completely immaterial price of tokens variable instead the material one which is the number of tokens or better yet the productivity gain per token.
"The masks are off," Dmitriev wrote. "U.K. and EU warmongers are showing how deeply anti-Trump they really are. They tried to hide it for a long time, but now everyone can see it."
State-level trolling.
At the same time, Dmitriev's comments were widely seen as effectively encouraging additional countries to join military action against Tehran — one of Moscow's key strategic partners.
Except it may not be contradictory in terms of goals. Russia does not want the EU to be a US vassal. Not for altruistic reasons but because it'll be easier to restore trade with an unaligned EU. At the same time Russia might (perhaps correctly) consider that NATO cannot reopen the strait given how trivial and cheap it is for Iran to keep it closed. The longer the war lasts, the longer the strait stays closed, the more everyone needs Russian fossil fuels. And at the same time any naval assets that enter the strait are likely going down, which would diminish the naval capabilities of these actors as well as their military power projection.
And another vote for it. It's been great. The only thing I miss is it doesn't have multi-speed support but most setups don't have multi-speed motors anyway.
