That's a great point. I have experience w/ Arduino and have made a carrier board one time [1], but am not familiar with full custom PCB + MCU designs. Do you have any suggestions on where to get started for someone with my medium

So my thought was to utilize the capacitive soil moisture sensor and then coat the sides of the PCB with a waterproofing epoxy as Andreas recommended. My hope being that even if it craps out, I can just swap out the sensor, and since they a

I think I am largely MCU agnostic, although preferably something where I can use Arduino since I am familiar with that. Good to know that ESP8266 is more energy efficient. I have seen this video which demonstrates that the ESP8266 can run o

Awesome write up, I liked how accessible the writing is, as well as the fun tone. I have a problem where I will need to monitor the soil moisture of 20 trees in San Francisco. My current thought is to strap an ESP32, Lora module, battery, a

Ah! Always love to see something from Jeff, glad he's getting the recognition he deserves. He's such a smart guy but very humble. An inspiration to us all!

Great post by OP. Particularly sad (and freaked out) that WSJ gets this wrong after having read Manufacturing Consent by Noam Chomsky. (The main premise being the US Gov't manipulates media to spin various narratives to maintain public

I agree with you there. I believe I've seen dang comment that downvoting shouldn't be for disagreements, rather for poor quality content, regardless of whether or not you agree. On Reddit, downvoting is always a matter of personal

Personally I don't believe in effective altruism, however it sounds like Mr. Feeney lived this philosophy much better than Sam Bankman Fried ever did, without attracting attention. May he rest in peace.

Humans have always had kids during difficult times. I used to subscribe to the antinatalist philosophy until it became too depressing and against my biological desire to have children (haven’t yet). I now see having children as an act of op

Sent this video making fun of the Apple Hands™ to a friend at Apple, she loved it. [1] Some middle ground between Tim Cook and Steve Ballmer would bring more excitement into the game, and make it a little more human! [1] https://

What types of things were you building? Presumably you were using the Technic sets?

Friend at the company said everyone basically stopped working. Apparently the CEO in the all hands said that they WILL be layoffs on the engineering team, so everyone is now just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I am most likely misunderstanding this, but why can't you just use browser automation to then generate the turnstile token? For example, just use Playwright/Selenium/Phantom to generate the token and then use that in an API c

Definitely agree with you in terms of limiting functionality built on top of WYSIWYG UIs. 2 years ago I developed a non-trivial app using Retool and it became an unmaintainable spaghetti monster "code" base. (Side note: Retool was

You'll have to forgive me here, I was only drawing on one experience when talking about being on the other side of things. So I am generalizing based only on one experience, however, with that said, I think the unfortunate reality is j

94x cost improvement over GPU and 15x TPU is insane, but fits right in there with performance gains seen in Moore's Law. This development presents a more compelling case that we are in fact on the precipice of larger LLMs being able to

The only thing I can think of that would prevent easy copying in the SaaS world would be to have most or all of your data generated by users, and then doggedly protecting that data from scraping, and/or hiding it behind a login. Otherw
