Not my video, but absolutely fascinating videos. I've occasionally fallen into the YouTube hole of game-dev videos, and people with this level of presentation of their problem-solving and algorithm explanation is something I can not get enough.

That just seems like way too much effort for the gain it offers.

Yup, from my understanding and experience IBM is by far the furthest and easiest to use. As in, I can throw up my python shell, write 20 lines of code, and that thing will run my circuit on a real quantum computer in the next 10 minutes.

I'm sorry, but my experience in work in many different segments shows the exact opposite to be true. Theres barely any company that takes "You can rise quickly thorough pay bands if you put in the effort", or "we would pay you more without benefits" seriously and is even being truthfully with you. I've had one company, the one where I'm at now, where I earn good money, get bonus and that bonus is determined by the companies performance. We had bonus when CEO etc. didnt get any because they messed up. We have great benefits (2 additional paid weeks of paternal leave, i.e.), but it's the exception to the rule.

I never said there is a difference? I'm talking about Java <-> Python/qiskit/jupyter. Its a very different way of doing things, but just as enjoyable, and I'd say it's the currently best solution for any r&d and prototyping

I feel you. I write mostly Java code, but I've worked heavily with python + qiskit for quantum ML the past 3 months, and it's excellent. Qiskit is "low" level enough to give me the freedom I want, and with Jupyter Notebooks it's just so much easier to quickly construct something and evaluate, as well as extract it in a way I can put it in a paper.

Except thats not the target field of a Logo. If you need to run Linux and deploy containers your task is way out of the Logos target audience.

You dont use objects and methods in Logo - that goes literally against what it is. Its a FUP based programming device. I mean, it's been some time since I last held one, but I'd be _very_ surprised if you could "code" on it. The whole idea of it, is that you also can create programs on it using its on screen display

Arduino is definitely not cheaper. I've installed and programmed several LOGOs, and it's easy as hell. It's a compact package that already contains, in itself, enough inputs and output that can be used by i.e. electricians. An Arduino requires you to take the soldering iron into the hand.

I made myself the work and created a very basic ClosedFeedbackLoop Example for java, for anyone that might want to try it out. It's old and has terrible documentation, but I also haven't touched it in quite some time. Either way, here it is:

https://github.com/RicardoMonteiroSimoes/ClosedLoopControlBl...

It contains several blocks,P,I,D,PID,PT1 and PT2, basically the ones that were teached to me

I love the idea behind this, and it seems like the right way. The strongest point seems to be that anything written with this can be directly verified - if I think that a table might have miscalculations, I can just go check it.

Do you have any plan of introducing templates? For example many Universities have templates with required formatting in latex/.docx, and being able to atleast have something like these would help a lot

I have to disagree a bit. For new users it will always take a bit of time to get used to it - be it in 2D or 3D. But after some time, the usability of 2D and 3D will be the same. And guests will have that problem either way - for that reason, one could just render their usable rooms on a separate UI.

I'm not saying it's not a solved problem. It is, and we don't even have to take Sims for that. Close to all, if not all, architects around here already create 3D simulations of the buildings to show to customers.

What I am implying is that the total gain you get from fabricating, setting up and rendering a 3D model of a house plan is barely more than the one you get from a 2D version

Yes, you don't have any detailed information in this view. By pressing any Icon you toggle it, by long-pressing anything with a "+" you open a popup that displays light levels etc.

For example, we have this for anything heating-based: https://i.imgur.com/evaKP07.png

The same case here:

Ventilation is toggle based, temperature is connected to a sensor and pressing the icon opens a popup to change the temperature threshold.

What you're suggesting for ventilation efficiency is a solved problem - new buildings with ventilation systems all lead to a single input and output. By regulations it's mandated to use a heat exchanger. So the hot air you want to suck out during cooking loses a big of it's heat and gives it to the air being sucked in.

For older buildings it's in the realm of possibilities. As soon as any integration is possible (Be that IP based or trough switches), any logic can be programmed. The fact is that most people don't care about those technical details, they just want it to "work". You don't spend money on such an infrastructure to be adjusting everything yourself - albeit for the customers that specifically demand it, making these options accessible is always a possibility.

The only thing I can say is that 3D simulations for airflow are something you'd do on dedicated software, as the aspect of simulating such a thing:

- requires a lot of computational power - requires a larger amount of detail avaliable for each room

This means you'd have to place all the objects you have in your house in the 3D plan, which can be a lot of work as there won't be fitting objects avaliable to each variant.

As someone who works in the professional smart home business and in a comapny with close to 15 years of experience, using "3D" based house plans are usually a waste of resources. In most cases, this leads to the following problems:

- Having to create a 3D house plan from scratch

- Having to add textures, objects to it, as otherwise it would look bland

We only use black/white 2D house plans, which bring all the positive aspects of a house plan without the negative one from 3D, as a flat 2D plan does not need any objects in it to look good.
