Could this realistically be bundled on a low powered IoT device to communicate small packets of information to a remote server? Edit: And does it inherit the coverage of ham radio? meaning, the network coverage is already in place?

neat. I saw the "no bot joins the call". Is it obvious to others in the virtual meeting that you are using this tool?

In conjunction with Postgres for related relational data, I’m using timescale for IoT based time series data.

Is this something I’d use instead of timescale, or, am I understanding that the intention here is to be a data warehouse, where we could potentially offload older data to Arc for longer term storage or trend analysis?

This is SO freaking cool. I'm doing something similar for a startup, albeit in a different domain and against a massive dataset.

Looking at the code (and "for the future..." note about LLM generated queries), you cannot ask arbitrary questions? Is that correct?

>there are now better options.

Care to share your opinions on which options are better?

Could Gemini CLI be used for PR reviews? For example, would you expect that asking Gemini to compare two git commit hashes and analyze the code changes for potential bugs/conciseness/adhesion to the idiomatic project style, etc. to work well?

Edit: I tried it. The setup was a breeze. I fed the CLI two git commit IDs and some light prompting on what to look for. It gave a reasonable response. I'll try on a real PR shortly.

I would have loved to see such a list when I joined a startup. I'm not sure it's possible to make a comprehensive list, given all the various startup structures and agreements, but still a "top 10" list with some guidance on how to protect yourself would be valuable.

Or... an SLM where you feed the model your contract and it provides a list with recommendations tailored to your situation.

I hold no judgement here, as someone who has only ever built software for profit but if the intention is to make it OSS, why not start that way? For many, OSS is a core feature, and as you know, many devs have been burned by postman, insomnia, etc.

>There used to be a business in selling these ultra performant ST chips to high frequency traders, who'd overclock the absolute crap out of them. Luckily, this is no longer a business.

HF trading is no longer a business?

> It's yet another sign the standard of living is declining for the young.

Or maybe a reflection of higher expectations? Housing, healthcare, and vehicles are all examples of things that both cost more and are much more advanced than the same version previous generations had.

Also young people are living in cities more than previous generations and those cities are denser. The value prop of a car, price aside is less than it was for previous generations.

Eh, I feel eBay has more of a right to ban books than a library. Both are bad, and it’s terrible that society is in a place where book banning is virtuous.

Are you totally anti process? If not, which process do you find more palatable than scrum? Your comment is eye opening for me because I don’t know that I’d find a job if I decided scrum was a dealbreaker. What kind of projects or companies do you target that don’t have some flavor of scrum?

I’ve always felt scrum adds value for new teams who haven’t worked together or on greenfield projects in a space the team hasn’t worked before. That’s when the standups identity impediments. That’s when retrospectives uncover process or people issues. Once the team hits a stride it’s time for the training wheels to come off and then it’s just a Kanban board.
