There's ongoing work on an official setup solution, "bitbake-setup". See https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/topic/111....

Shameless plug, there is also my own tool, yb. It's very early days though: https://github.com/Agilent/yb

Maybe to avoid broken links if you move the original files? That's the main benefit of hardlinks vs symlinks in my mind at least.

Relatedly, has anyone else noticed Doordash now has AI generated descriptions for menu items that the restaurant didn't manually describe? I noticed it while looking at a taco place by us.

For items with menu pictures, it gives a definitive description, e g. "Marinated pork with onions, cilantro, and pineapple, folded in a grilled tortilla. Served with lime wedges and a side of grilled jalapeño and sautéed onion."

For items without pictures, it hedges: "Folded flour tortilla filled with seasoned chicken and melted cheese, typically includes a blend of Mexican cheeses."

Part of me finds it pretty neat, but the other part wonders how long it will last.

I agree, but I'm curious if it's for the same reason. I like it because there is now flowery writing. Just direct "here are the facts".

How else will you discover new and exciting speculative execution vulnerabilities? /s

I replied to the rowzero guy, which is written in Rust.

Any chance you could expand on how the DAG is implemented in Rust for the execution engine? I'm trying to do something similar (not for spreadsheets but rather for a language: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/bitbake/bitbake-user-manual/bi...). I cannot find any good examples of how to implement something like this in Rust. E.g. should I use a graph library like petgraph, or roll my own?

I reverse-engineered how my adjustable bed base works, then built (and sell) a hub for controlling it from Home Assistant. See https://blog.laplante.io/2019/01/11/reverse-engineering-the-... and https://www.tindie.com/products/cplaplante/temperbridge/

You just gave them another one:

The actual recognition is quite good. It's just the handling of poor/intermittent network issues that is abysmal.

I also have only had Pixels basically since they were released. I guess where I have issues is when the phone has a weak signal, and it insists on trying to use it for voice recognition rather than just falling back to local.

I just want decent on-device voice recognition for things like asking the Assistant to send text messages. So tired of having to repeat myself 5 times.

If Google employees actually used the phones they build we wouldn't have a lot of the issues we have them. I'm still annoyed that the little weather icon on the home screen has about a 2x2 pixel hitbox.

Edit: hitbox not hotbox...

"Documentary Now!" did a great spoof of this called "Final Transmission". Give it a watch if you haven't: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt5821512/

Can't help you with PoE, but Home Assistant is non-cloud by default.

I thought you meant turn it into an alcoholic beverage, so I looked it up and apparently there is such a thing as rhubarb wine.
