The only problem I had with my ZigBee network was pairing the lightbulb but that was because the UX to set the bulb in pairing mode required to switch them on and off 5 1/2 time with a too precise timing for a normal human.

Mostly an issue with the bulb really.

That won't prevent typo squatting. This article is a out people wanting to add a dependency to "famousLib" and instead typing "famusLib".

What probably help more in Go is the lack of a central repo so you actually need to "go get github.com/whoever..." so typo squatting is a bit be a bit more complicated.

On the other hand it will be an easy fix in NPM by simply adding a check to libraries names and reject names that are too similar since it's centralized.

First, we actually don't really need that research, indoor growing is a very well known activities that is already performed in many places. There are large indoor farms in northern Europe (cold), in the middle east (hot). Greenhouse, tunnels, aren't exactly new.

Second, it's not what those companies were doing, they were trying to create farming factories that are fully automated, their goals was to remove humans, not to find ways to fight climate change.

I never understood the economics of those Agtech.

The margins on vegetables are shit.

Consumers won't care that each of your potatoes had it's own email addresse, a twitter account and was monitored by an AI.

Farmers are not just redneck assholes who needed some MIT grad to tell them how to increase yield, there's already a huge agro industry and research and we've reached a point where the yield of carrots and others is pretty much already maximised. Assuming they are genius and get a 1% yield improvement that would be enormous.

A farm hand cost $25k a year, and engineer cost $150k and you haven't priced in the tech and the building...

So you basically get a business where the cost of operation is about 20 time higher (and that's conservative) than a guy with a plot of land and a tractor for sensibly the same yield (if not worse) and zero product differentiation in the market.

Well, I guess they just figured out the economics...

McKinsey, Deloitte & co will provide that service.

Does anyone else know a daring character named after a state with a five letter last name?

That's so reductive. The guy is MUCH MUCH MORE.

Self hosted server to do what?

Because I have a self hosted server running on a refurb Lenovo mini-pc that I bought for $90 and it does a fine job running the dozen or so docker image of service I need.

But I ain't gonna run no LLM on that machine, that's for sure.

Pointless debate. Pichai is a corporate management suit, he wouldn't know code if it slapped him in the face. He just need to pretend Google is at the top of the AI game and he just made up meaningless number on an even more meaningless metrics.

You realize how ironic your suggestion is right ?

In case you missed it, in our broken model of civilization a CEO's only responsibility is to increase value for shareholders. Not to clients, not to employees, not to the biosphere.

Market cap increased, job's done successfully.
