I think there was always a lot of hyperbole in the statement and it really downplays Australia's strength and culture (not a surprise given the colonial undertones involved). Also I think "the lucky country" often gets causal

It's not called "the lucky country" for nothing. But realistically while Australia suffers under the resource curse it is blessed with a large diversity in the resources available for extraction (just look at the pivot from c

What a smackdown! You guys had me thinking you'd written a custom executor engine or something of that nature. I've spent a fair amount of time digging around the terraform codebase and hacking on providers. I'm not too worri

The human diet is probably split into several major categories and I think a one size fits all solution is probably not forthcoming. The first category which makes up the bulk of our diet are caloric cereal crops, or starchy tubers. In the

For anyone interested in Kubernetes on Hetzner, there's a really interesting CAPI provider being actively developed: https://github.com/syself/cluster-api-provider-hetzner

They were in person recruiting at KubeCon EU this year and were advertising a good number of Kubernetes engineering roles. Definitely gave me the impression they were taking Kubernetes seriously but looking back a managed offering was just

Couldn't agree more, I think Hetzner is probably Europe's best bet on a hyperscaler. One of the more telling indicators IMO is their growing market share outside of the EU/DACH. To add on to the comments about Hetzner buildin

Was reading about "The Quiet Achiever" the other day, the first transcontinental crossing in a solar powered vehicle (interestingly also 4000km). Kinda crazy looking back 40 years how far we've come! https://www.yo

Sparse networks are the future, there's definitely a few major algorithmic hurdles we'll have to cross before they end up a real option but long term they will dominate (after all they already do in the living world). All our curr

I hope someone picks up the architecture and brings it to the wider market. Would be great to see some opensource hardware AI accelerator options. Looking more closely at snitch, unfortunately it looks like the two largest contributors have

I've got a great use case for horust, or at least a container init process capable of running multiple child processes (kubernetes nodes inside containers). Consider me interested. Contact me via the email listed in my profile.

Vision sounds like a really tough way to solve it, challenging lighting conditions just to make things trickier. I know that in some contexts, RFID tags are used for livestock tracking. Don't know if they would comfortably work on bird

Fair enough, I got the impression the target audience was more IOT focused given the site it was hosted on.

I have no qualms with the merit of an automatic chicken coop door. Obviously the benefits can be considerable, and the project certainly fits the bill. The point is, almost all maker projects jump straight to let's throw an Arduino at

Great project and all, and definitely something fun to work on, but this is a pretty questionable application for IOT (don't wish to discourage). What's the key metric here? The chicken coop opens and closes at the appropriate tim

I wonder if the drug would work on felines, combined with the technology/approach here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnpJBI_502U you may have an ethical way of dealing with what's a huge problem in Australia. I&

Hypothetical question, if gene editing in humans became an accepted thing. I wonder how preserved our metabolic pathways and genes for long term hibernation are.

A lot of that cost comes from all the supporting hardware and certified software. Plus a lot of the machines have to be designed for high throughput applications.

The Cortex M series is prolific but lacks a proper memory management unit which makes running Linux an iffy business. FreeRTOS is by far the most dominant player in this space. Different markets really, sounds like Microsoft is targeting it

Yeh it's a coprocesser arrangement for sure these days. Probably the only way to do it remotely safely, sure doesn't provide a ton of flexibility though and definitely adds to the total BOM cost for the devices.

Broadly based on abusing USB ethernet and browser origin policies. Relies on the fact browsers are used to treating the network layer as a hostile environment.

A while back I looked into building my own hardware two factor key. I wanted to experiment with the technology. I've since backed off the idea due to several serious challenges with designing secure hardware for this purpose. * By nece

I guess we'll have to see what the internet makes of it all :D. Short production runs are inherently expensive. And I think all too often kickstarter projects fail due to not properly pricing in externalities. As for contributing/

Awesome work, your avr computer is really impressive! So similar and yet so different! Emulating the Apple II was relatively easy, not a lot of extra hardware. Haven't tried cross compiling anything yet, sounds really cool. Nice work o

Author here. I meant that in earnest, getting the emulator 6502 compatible was a large part of the project. But it did come together in about ten days, on the order of 70 hours. There's something about these old systems, you can fit th
