    Is this the old mini vs micro argument again?

    I think we agree that there's an interface problem. But there's an intelligence-complete problem hiding underneath; which is why the first instinct was to recruit the human-in-the-…

    The article is about measurements taken on this. One important reason is due to Permission Fatigue: Of course you check everything! You're diligent! The last 100 requests were all …

    Once you're running a model inside the harness... you've got yourself a controller inside a control loop, which is genuinely a different kind of thing than just the model alone. Ar…

    I think that AI tools have lifted the floor of what's possible, but we haven't seen the roof of what's possible yet either. We need to redefine what's low-effort, rather than going…

    How is this in any way, shape, or form a promotion of the arts and sciences anymore? This could very easily be turned into a preservation and archiving operation with just a tweak …

    And that while the web is full of citation-checking workflows by now, including using the very same LLM to help set things up so it's less of a chore. You wouldn't trust LLM genera…

    I think greenland is aiming to pre-bunk this particular narrative. (as opposed to debunking)

    That doesn't help for sure, but the intonation is ... odd.

    You know, I never did find out why people dub anime with such unnatural voices.

    Heh, maybe if that had been thought of earlier. Meanwhile what I didwas just delete my linkedin account. Not much good could come of it anymore anyway I don't think.

    Which would then tunnel through the VPN and still hit the PLC. Right. "But we need it on our windows computer" is not an entirely unreasonable ask. But security is only partially s…

    It really depends what you grew up with I guess. As someone originally coming off of RISC OS[1] way back when, the mac way is closer to intuitive than the windows way, while Linux'…

    We're often talking about custom plants here, or plants made in very low volume. Making a simulator for that can be prohibitively expensive, since you can't amortize the cost. For …

    I've switched up to NUC-ish hardware which WAS cheap until recently. All the components just a bit higher quality than the lowest-bidder you get on the Pi. Run nixos on that and yo…

    I used to think codesys on raspberry pi was pretty much the pessimal application of an ARM processor (and nothing has changed my mind so far). Here you have a chip that is famous f…

    > If a Raspberry Pi had industrial environment ratings and was certified hard real time, then yes it could be considered a PLC. Ostensibly yes, but so far I haven't seen anyone rea…

    Oh I can tell stories too! Meanwhile these guys often have huge amounts of practical experience as electricians or control technicians/engineers to go with their PLC skills, so you…

    Right, enclose it in meters thick reinforced concrete walls and let no one near it. While that works for Chernobyl, if you have a real world systems you might want somewhat more pr…

    Don't put your PLCs directly on the internet. In fact most industrial stuff is very not made to be directly connected to the internet. But interpose a firewall+VPN solution and you…

    I wonder how many people are turned off by iOS and have never bothered to learn to write an app for it in the first place?

    Is it the idea to build a lot of coop working spaces first? Building homes is nice, but they don't pay as much rent. Huh, flagged already. That seems just a bit unfair. It's a dece…
