Seems like the incentive is to make as little profits as possible at the start to avoid being killed by taxes. I would have expected an exclusion for companies that make below X dollars or are less then Y years old.

The big problem is that LLMs not only replace "shoeing your horse" or some other singular task. If you let them they can replace every critical thought or every mental effort you throw at them. Often in a "good enough" (or convincing enough) way Especially for learners this is very bad because they will never learn how to come to any proper thought process on their own. How should they be able to check the output?

We basically are training prompt engineers without post validation now.

yes, that should be the answer. The firewall can't analyse the connection thus cancels the connection attempt.

Can't confirm this. I'm a native German working for a company in Munich and as soon anybody joins to the meeting that is not German we switch to English. 90% of meetings are in English.

When my Russian colleague asks me to speak German because he wants to practice then I speak some German with him. Otherwise all our conversations are in English.

The experience might be different in "older" companies.

Science and progress are not a one off thing. The scientist are not used up after 10 years. They keep working and keep the advantages going. The advantage attracts even more intelligent people from every corner of the world.

I can find some bad reviews on items that have a lot of positive reviews on Aliexpress. Seems like they don't completely filter all of them.

Depends a bit on your country. My CEO can fire me but there is a longer notice period depending on how long I have been with the company.

- 2 years: 1 month

- 5 years: 2 months

- 8 years: 3 months

...

- 20 years: 7 months

Germany btw.

Prices will very likely go up for products that are not 100% local. Some resources for end products are currently mostly imported. The new tarifs also affect resources and unfinished products.

New trade routes and spinning up local production will take time (likely longer five years) so the consumer will pay a price. Question is how high it will be.

To purely imported goods (a lot of tech for example): cost will go up substantially.

To Russia: They are currently in a war economy. You will likely not really see a collapse coming until it is to late. Banks have been forced to give far to cheap loans to the arms industry complex which are unlikely to ever pay them back. This partially masks the true cost of the war.

Let's so how this proceeds.

Windows and Android are OK to pretty good when it comes to backward compatibility.

MacOS Software sadly does break sometimes.

FridayGPT is also not really open about the need for an API key on their landing page. Only in the FAQ they mention it. Seems a bit shady to me.

There are also other AI tools listed there. https://buyoncesoftware.com/?category=AI

As soon as the AI models run on an external server a buy once model does no longer work (or atleast not with an acceptable one time price). The constant server cost is just to high.

Had the same experience in Namibia in 2022. First I should sent them my credit card stuff via mail. Then via a website which looked like it would automatically write my data to a mail and send it to them :D.

I used a freshly generated virtual credit card with payment amount +20$ as a limit (just to be sure).

The sad thing is, that at some point they truly get exposed (big leak) and your name might come up because they have nobody else to blame. I wish you the best and hope you have lawyer insurance.

It's more or less the same for every hype technology. Most people only glance over the executive slides version of the description of the technology (which is understandable because they have different priorities). Others have already told them that this is the "new thing" and they need it.

Coca-Cola is mostly produced locally. Atleast the mixing of Sirup and bottling is.

I personally don't know if they ship their sirup around the world.

Is selling less product good for US defense companies?

Ah ok, thanks for the info. Had hoped I could jump on HA Voice right away because I have already a small HA server in my home.

Thanks, good info. I read nothing about the multi-room-music-feature. Do you by chance know if it can be done?

Seems like the majority thinks it is like that. Otherwise LibreWolf would not have many users.

Please pick a different browser if it is not for you. Waterfox has less restrictions and might be a better fit.

No that is why I'm asking. I want a replacement.

Without those features I can just replace Alexa with nothing because we do not use any other features.

Would be great if the article would be updated from time to time. It is a good read but some of the presented problems are already fixed.

I can confirm this from the producer side. The documentation is often neglected.

I got fed up with the Word docx (with code examples) we sent out to our customers and replaced it with a hosted Docusaurus markdown documentation.

It is a lot of work to transfer the knowledge to a the new place. It is a lot of work to keep the documentation up-to-date. It is also a lot of work to formulate things in a widely understandable way with screenshots and good examples.

Still I would do the same refactoring again. While the documentation is still not perfect, our customers now comment that it truly helps them to get going fast with our product. A search function is also very helpful.

Our QA team does follow the integration instructions in the documentation when a major change is released (so "putting somebody in the student's place" does work for us). It of course takes time.

We mostly use Alexa for playing music (Radio & Spotify) and setting timers. We also use the multi-room music feature where Alexa plays the same audio source on a certain group (great for parties).

Does Home Assistant also have these features?

You are 100% correct. Heavily depends on where the servers reside. Just a rough estimate for the case that the failures are non related.

I have left WebGl disabled and do not miss anything so far (maybe in the future?). Just not my use case.

Network disabled is a straw man argument.

If somebody already has made the effort of creating an extension and maintaining it, why not use that?

Most of the Hydrogen that is currently being produced is "gray". Meaning that it is produce with steam reforming from natural gas.

This is currently the cheapest and most used method (around 60%). Coal (around 20%) and oil (around 20%) are also used for hydrogen production.

Green hydrogen is below 1%.

So fossil fuels are still currently the cheapest option there. Just not a green one.

Less protection then? Yes. So when something hits you later on, the system is not trained for it.

It's not about throwing infants in a dunghill first thing after birth and let nature take its course. It's about gradual exposure when the system can slowly get used to it.

Thanks for this info

The current situation is the result of decades of free trade and reliability. There will likely be a shift if the market forces pull in a different direction. Not today right away but in the timescale of years.

For me (European) this is an incentive to first check if there is an non-us alternative for the product from another country.

Quite sad times. I liked the 2000s and 2010s with rather free trade a lot.

One can extract hydrogen from fossil fuels. So if a hydrogen break through is coming, they already have a cheap source for the material. Not really green though...
