just saw this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-hVUczzlL4 and you get a very smart solution for a fair price, that does coordination etc.. and it's even esp32 based should the need arise. see https://www.bpcventilation.com/bsk-zephyr-single-room-heat-r...

Great work, feels great to use!

Only nitpick I could find would be to include url for POIs from OSM - like this one https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5433059850

Re:Show HN: Atopile – Design circuit boards with code on Thursday February 08, 2024 @08:39AM (#39301757)
> What would you want us to build?

A simple BUY button - take away all the mess for me as "end-user" who just want a board (I don't want to spend hours of BOM files, jlpcb, soldout parts etc.) - take away the mess for the creator of building a community around a design, monetize it, etc etc.

diyBMS recently did a short video on setting up shop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qkg1Fu41QHE

(also group buying would mean huge savings as pooled productions would yield big production runs.. etc.)

"Introduciiiiing... LLM Boxing Part Two.

Llama 2 13B vs Mistral 7B

- every round pick the output you like better - each model has 5 hitpoints - pay-per-view. one night only

Last time Llama 2 beat GPT-3.5 handily. How will it fare against this scrappy young challenger?"

Re:ElixirConf – LiveView Native on Friday September 09, 2022 @02:35PM (#32783186)
ElixirDesktop renders a webview/browser, in that way it's similar to electron - but using the BEAM instead of nodejs..

Some day it may make more than sense to have a local BEAM instance on the device with LiveView Native running on the local BEAM, for true offline, and zero lag performance - and then that BEAM instance can always connect to a remote server, via phoenix channels or similar for it's data management/syncing..

Re:Erlang/OTP 25.0 Release on Wednesday May 18, 2022 @01:59PM (#31425726)
I'm in elixir land - but have a look at https://github.com/elixir-desktop - they even have an ios app in the app store..

basically wxwidgets comes with a webview, and that one is loaded up - and everything is packaged as an app - so you can use phoenix (liveview), or even react or anything to your liking..

believe certain improvements were made to OTP 25, so multiple things will land soon - even livebook https://github.com/livebook-dev/livebook are aiming at shipping a native app..

"..This issue was supposed to be addressed, according to the vendor, on May 15th 2019 but Apple started dropping my emails."

I believe Apple could easily have asked for an extension, if solving it was complex.. Apple chose not to.

Re:Android Phones Can Be Hacked Remotely by Viewing Malicious PNG Image on Tuesday February 12, 2019 @04:51AM (#19142255)
Absolutely agree - there should be regulation demanding a 5 year period of security updates (or similar)..

Check out https://www.lineageos.org or one the other dists out there - and get that loaded up..

"Apple can simply decide to prevent people from running code on their phones."

no - you are free to run any code on YOUR phones with the enterprise program - you are clearly not free to run any code on OTHERS phones using this program..

Re:On the Sad State of Macintosh Hardware on Thursday June 14, 2018 @01:42PM (#17313599)
just give us ARM/apple Ax processor macs already - a 8/16/32 core mac would run corners around any intel stuff..

especially as the thermal properties of intel turboboost is really horrible nowadays on macbook/laptop for dev usage.. (imagine maybe due to the meltdown/spectre slowdown..)

Re:Onesignal: Product and Policy Updates for GDPR on Friday April 13, 2018 @04:14AM (#16827985)
Specific product changes include:

Providing the option to not store end-user IP addresses, and by default, not storing the IP addresses of end-users from countries within the EU.

For all clients, beginning on May 21st, 2018, we will discontinue building data models with data nor will we monetize any EU user data with our business and analytics partners. For our Enterprise clients, we have introduced a Data Processor Agreement (DPA) which formally designates us as a Processor for all data.

Releasing updated versions of our SDKs to make it easier for our clients to prevent user data from being sent to OneSignal until a user explicitly consents,

Adding support to our API for the deletion of user data. Additionally, we are reducing our data retention period of deleted data to 72 hours.

Updating our user data exporting capabilities to make it easier to search for and export user data from OneSignal. This will help our clients meet individual user requests for restriction, erasure, and data portability.

Preparing a guide on how to use OneSignal for push notifications without sending us personal user data.

Re:Reasons to use Phoenix instead of Rails on Sunday November 26, 2017 @11:57AM (#15781740)
the package manager is here: https://hex.pm

with elixir having a lot of former and present rails devs in the eco-system - you can usually find "equivalent" packages("gems")..

say search for rspec https://hex.pm/packages?_utf8=&search=rspec&sort=recent_down...
