Based on two days with the motion sensor the responsiveness feels very good. The reduction in hops may be the key there. It’s too early to tell about the connection reliability but I’ve been using IKEA zigbee stuff for years with no issues. The build quality of the sensor and their new switches is very high.
They missed that IKEA has just released a new smart home suite including a motion/light sensor for $9.99 [1]. Full thread/matter support and some also have zigbee to maintain backwards compatibility to legacy IKEA stuff.
I’m migrating from my zigbee stuff bridged through home assistant to HomeKit. Now I have thread to HomeKit directly

Camel camel camel wouldn’t send notifications to my hidden email. Works fine for my regular vanity domain.
And Quebec has it’s own English. I spent a few years working in Montreal and soon learned about “passing the vacuum” and “closing the light”. There are so many bilingual folks that concepts and word orders flow back and forth. I had an interesting discussion with a bilingual anglophone about how in English elsewhere it’s called a “pacifier” and not a “souce”
I believe it is the case that US (at least) iPhones work as IC cards in Japan
Source - I’m sitting in Kyoto right now having travelled all over Tokyo and then on to Kyoto using only my phone to interact with Japan Rail. Verified with two 16Es and a 12. In fact we were able to add the Suica cards to our phones and charge them fromApplePay while still stateside. That let us skip the Welcome Suica line at Haneda and go straight to the monorail. Highly recommended
This problem seems to also exist for services like uber. Their solution seems easier, drop a pin on a map. Perhaps working so hard to find a textual description is missing the simpler solution.
You are kidding, right? [0]
Ah, but isn’t that the problem here - asking an LLM for facts without requesting a search is like asking a PhD to answer a question “off the top of your head”. For pop culture questions the PhD likely brings little value.
If we were to survey 100 PhDs how many would know correctly that Paul Newman had an alcohol problem.
Much like scanning tools looking for CVEs. There are thousands of devs right this moment chasing alleged vulns. It is early days for all of these tools. Giving papers a look over is an unqualified good as it is for code. I like the approach of keeping it private until the researcher can respond.
Thunderbirds are go!
There is some interesting new working the C4 space at https://likec4.dev/
This is a less prescriptive model than structurizr but keeps the goals of C4
Take a fly on an airliner in MS flight simulator sometime or watch any of the YouTubers that show this stuff. CitationMax is a good one. The screens tell the flight plan, altitudes, traffic, weather, terrain and more. The audio part is, as mentioned above, extremely efficient and shared. The audio is used for clearances from one step to another ( very loosely speaking) This improves everyone’s situational awareness. This may have been an issue at DCA where the commercial flight was on VHF and the chopper was on UHF.
If a plane loses comms there are well defined procedures and everyone knows exactly what that plane will do as they proceed to their destination.
Very good presentation but I do miss any mention of the audience claim. This claim is underrated in my opinion at least. It allows the token to climb access to an api or server or whatever that can be used by gateways to do a high level authorization. Then the scopes can be used at the resource server to govern lower level authorization.
The ATC is up on YouTube - I heard it on the vatsim channel. ATC would not let pilots transit the designated danger airspace without declaring an emergency. So they did.
Everything is a rule (Pega)
Ahh the perils of the installed base. It brings to mind the use of tab in make files.
And then a few weeks later I had a user population of about a dozen, most of them friends, and I didn't want to screw up my embedded base. The rest, sadly, is history.[1]
I was surprised at the rice cooker section at Yodobashi Camera in Tokyo Akaba that they were serving samples of cooked rice from each of the many, many models they sell. My American senses failed to detect any difference. And yes, that was only one of the multitude of surprises in that wonderland of a store.
My Samsung ultra wide has side by side mode with two input cables. Screen sharing (and Windows) thinks it’s two monitors but I can stretch windows all the way across both if I want to since it is an extended set
Cell service is down. Wi-Fi calling/ text/ email may be the only thing working in many cases
I think I’m the target market. Old enough that my hearing requires some help, but still working in tech from home. The hearing aids I’ve looked at - I have a prescription - have Bluetooth for listening but no microphone for talking. I use my AirPods for teams calls all day long. Switching back and forth to a hearing aid seems too much trouble so I haven’t taken that step. I will get these new AirPods the day the feature ships. I may need two pairs to deal with the battery life but it’s still cheap.
One sailor that I enjoy watching is Patrick Laine[1]. The back catalog has a lot of coastal single-handing (coast of France mostly). Then he started circling the Atlantic.

A long time ago, in a book whose title I don’t remember, a character said, “but engine parts are more expensive than brake parts”. That has always stuck with me, even as I glide to a stop with almost no braking.
I hadn’t heard of DPoP until this mention. Please tell us more. Google tells me it is Demonstrating Proof of Possession, but is it supported by any products?
I don’t see a way to specify the security scheme. Am I missing something?
Thanks for this reply. HN paid for itself again today
As in the case of constraint solvers there are tons of heuristics that have been applied over the years to make performance look like it scales somewhat linearly in many or most problems. This doesn’t mean p==np
This is a key point. Before windows we had all the dos players - WordPerfect was king. Microsoft was more focused on the Mac. I’ve always assumed that Microsoft understood that a GUI was coming and trained a generation of developers on the main gui of the day. Once windows came out the dos focused apps could not adapt in time
I’ve never looked at NTP so I followed a link here to RFC 1305. I found this gem of humility.
Note that since some time in 1968 the most significant bit (bit 0 of the integer part) has been set and that the 64-bit field will overflow some time in 2036. Should NTP be in use in 2036, some external means will be necessary to qualify time relative to 1900 and time relative to 2036
The 2036 problem is fixed in RFC 5905 as there is no doubt it will be needed.
Is it also age? As I got old (50s) I could feel it hitting more. It’s stronger now (60s)
