The beauty of growing the chemistry with bugs is the limit to your production is really just the size of your bioreactor, and thats a very much known and solved problem

Chernobyl hit criticality. Fukushima did not. There is a *vast* difference.

The thing is, for consoles 30fps is entirely playable as long as its *stable* for all except the turbo-gamers who are unhappy with anything less than 120fps ultra 4k. 60fps is observably better. Beyond that... eh..... Not a lot of point outside of competitive PVP. Most gamers dont have reflexes fast enough to really make great use of it. But 30fps feels comfortable, just not perfect. But considering how shitty most loungeroom TVs are , your not gaining much.

People who really want high performance play on PCs anyway. Then higher FPSs start to matter, but you also have the high end of Nvidia cards for the speed fiends, and if it runs happily 30fps on a console, it'll run 60fps happily, and probably better on a 5070 or whatever.

To be clear, I run Home Assistant and have integrated it with a local LLM and MCP server to allow for useful voice commands like "play the next episode of Landman in the living room" and it will look at the state of each required device and remediate them, while also searching all available services including my local Plex host for Landman, and launch the proper app with a deep-link intent.

But none of that was easy, and every time a device changes it's firmware (looking right at you, Android TV) there's a very real chance shit breaks.

When that kind of functionality "just works" is when home automation will be ready for the consumer market. Not before.

Also, this device looks like a massive Apple Watch glued to a HomePod. I don't want that.

Ive not yet played NMS, but exploration games are a thing that attracts a certain demographic.

For example, I hate the mission aspect of games like Fallout, GTA etc, but love just exploring the worlds - seeing what is over the next horizon etc. I havent played a multiplayer computer game in more than 15 years at this point,

I assume that there's some impeccable logic for why the bot has enough potential personhood that you can't be mean to it; but not enough that operating it on a slaves-as-a-service basis; or subjecting it to 'fine tuning' and 'alignment' processes that would make growing up in a groomer cult look lightweight is totally fine?

Bad metaphor. Fyre Festival can't retroactively patch their fuckup to make it what everyone was looking for. Attendees will always have been swindled.Hello Games can.

As it turns out, software isn't linear time and meatspace event planning. Software can improve with feedback, and purchasers can get the original vision plus more. And did.

The only tech company that even remotely understands the concept of "durable goods" appears to be Tesla. And even then it's a little shaky, but they've proven themselves by continuing to update software in 10+ year old cars OTA with no bullshit.

Buy this thing if you want to replace it 5 years from now.

In a business environment sufficiently scaled to need the equipment the guy is talking about, if you don't have someone that understands TLS in 2026, you have bigger risks than anything you just mentioned.

You can trust your own certificates in an Apple Keychain. This is clearly an enterprise of some kind - if they are using Apple devices, and not using device management when Apple makes this unbelievably easy, then they get the runaround.

Nice that they support their own protocols + matter / thread; what about anything else? Is that going to be a game of "find the app to dim the lights"?

Why don't these fools ever learn from Home Assistant - build integrations, not protocols.

What consumers want: Home Assistant, without hours of setup and scripting.

Dude, FOSS has been fragmented since the dawn of time. It's what we lament about every day. "Why can't there be one distro?" "Why so many JS frameworks?" "Oh, yeah, yet another ORM and yet another PHP CMS, just what we needed!" etc.

FOSS certainly doesn't need AI to be the noisy mess that it is. If anything I expect AI to accelerate development for teams who want to get well-rounded user-centric stuff done and know what they're doing.

"So, I use AI to do the things that I'm bad at."

Absolutely. I totally agree and his reasoning makes total sense to me, it's the same conclusion I would draw.

Its a freaking fridge. A thermostat controller standard on those commercial fridges is $20 (I know, I installed one on a regular refrigerator I modified to use as a homebrew beeer keg fridge so I could keep the beer at a precise 6c . It doesnt need to be some insane IoT thing.

Why even ask someone whose business is hurting people with desperately banal web tech how risky he thinks his new product is?
