Cool, thanks! Great work!

Any plan to update the GUI for conditional logic inside of automations? It's really clumsy to do IF/THEN or switch style constructions. Too much visual space and clunky overall.

There's no such thing as a low energy rich country. Making energy expensive risks dooming Europe to poverty and eventual conquest.

Back in the day I played a prank on a fellow sysadmin by adding an 'echo "sleep 1" >> .login'

Took him a week to figure it out, he was not pleased. :)

Regardless of POS changes, my algorithm has not changed:

You think ChatGPT isn't good because it bullshits some times?

You haven't met a bullshitter then. ChatGPT can be a bullshitter. We built a bullshitter.

Lots of Barry's out there, one of them even got elected president and shared his knowledge with the world quite widely. Half the people took him credulously.

Point being, yes the LLM loves to make shit up. Lots of people dismiss it as a result. It's still bloody impressive, we just need to be aware of its limitations.

Have you met my cousin Barry? He does pretty much the same thing, though in a less formal way.

Barry is still sentient and can perform quite a few tasks quite admirably. I still wouldn't use him as a sole source reference for obscure facts however.

(I don't actually have a cousin Barry, this is for illustration).

The balloon last week could have easily been an order of magnitude more expensive than the AIM-9X. It was hundreds of feet in diameter with a suspended gantry with a multi-kw solar array. You don't put that much solar on to power nothing, so presumably there was a ton of military grade comms equipment on it.

Left out the last E there...

LOL. Yup. Our next instalment will be around Progressive Web Apps Are Bad. Get sorting kids.
