Even with just teleoperation, the first robotics companies are poised to have some of the most efficient in-field technician operations, as long as there are at least two robots on site.

It is possible in general, but almost everybody doing self hosting (and as outlined in the article) does it on a local network and not on the internet. Most people that self host don't want to have to be a sysadmin in their free time i

I think the article takes a completely wrong lense for viewing the Humanoid Robotic Games, and general progress that is being made right now (though admittedly, many robot companies make it challenging with their marketing as well). Most of

I presume you want to keep the Blink doorbell for the camera functionality? Then I guess 3d print a casing that just puts the ZigBee button on top of the integrated button?

A prerequisite for there to even be a chance of cats being involved in ecosystem balance would be for the cats to exist purely as part of the ecosystem, as in being exposed to negative feedback effects to it (e.g. starvation due to overhunt

I can only tell you what we see across our customers, which are exactly the on-premise crowd. We are building a ChatGPT/Cowork competitor focused on on-premise needs[0]. While we cover most things outside of the coding side of things,

Most places I know that have strict on-premise/air-gap requirements are just investing in on-premise AI and open source harnesses instead. The only ones that don't are the typical places that are slow to adopt technology in genera

Datafusion has all of the individual pieces, especially if you just want to data analysis, but is far from an embedded database. Indexes, transactions, a first-class storage format are all things that come included with DuckDB, that you won

Fig, was one of them but was only partially opens source IIRC. CLI autocomplete and script team sync. Turned into/integrated into Amazon Q, which turned into Kiro CLI, which AFAIK doesn't share any functionality with the original

AFAIK Google is much better at not tearing well-working teams apart in reorgs, and letting people go they have acquihired a few quarters earlier. Of the few examples I have I my head, I'd even say that the fate of a product that has be

I'm not saying that the HTTP interface is not an attack surface, but that securing that attack surface (as one may assume in a simple security model) is not enough to protect against that class of attacks, as no level of introspecting

I'm glad that DuckDB has a foundation in place and hope it is resilient enough to push the DB forward when the time comes. Out of all the big orgs, Amazon is probably the one that has the least regard for keeping technically interestin

Yes, this does essentially nothing to solve the 1+N query problem. If your solution was to to stuff everything into one query, this was already possible with SQL!

> All those tools still get into context. 100% up to the harness. Most harnesses either fixed (or dymanically depending on size) nowadays add a "search_tool" tool to prevent spamming the context with all tools.

I don't think OTEL is necessarily "at fault" here. It's a split that's carried all throughout the observability ecosystem. e.g. in the Grafana suite of solutions you have Loki (logs), Tempo (tracing) and Mimir (metr

I think it's worth noting that headlines like "AI adoption has spread to every function" is only limited to roles covered/tracked by Linear. Recent studies by e.g. Google show a much broader range of adoption.
