Check out Gitea. Its kind of a clone of github but you can self host.

Maybe not easy or for everyone but you can set a Virtualbox VM running a headless linux of your choice, install directory sharing like samba and your AI agents of choice. Then you can just have multiple SSH sessions to interact with the agents and `tail` logs.

No, don't do it. I understand his thought process because they are both 12v batteries with more capacity, but car batteries are made for high burst of energy which a car engine ignition requires, whereas UPS batteries are made for slow drains. Also, these UPS are made for charging battery cells in a certain way, if you start to stack a bank of batteries of the same model in parallel hoping for more capacity, even then its a problem for the UPS's charger, they won't charge evenly and eventually becoming a problem.

Are we as a society have become that gullible? Seems more like someone's trying to find a somewhat credible excuse to launder the stolen goods.

Not saying they are a bust, either of them. Just to scale down expectations because AI, even the generative type won't be coming up with novel solutions.

EV aren't a bust either, but case in point... manufacturers are already anouncing scale downs because expectations were too high. Combustion will stay around for quite a bit given the battery production constraints.

You guys buy too much into the marketable fuzz. In the last 15 years we've had multiple other technologies that were supposed to change the way we live (3D printing, Crypto, VR, EV, self-driving, now AI).

It's just the VC scheme: Over-promise/under-deliver = Profit

AI is and will continue to be a search on steroids.

Ah yes, great automation comes by defining more manual rules.

> 4. Tries to do too much and breaks quite often

This is the impression I've gotten recently testing their waters. Overall, my take has been to stay away from it unless the app I'm making is simple enough they have templates floating around the web and won't need further tweaking: similar to wordpress, great to have a certain type of app up and running fast but the minute you have to do extensive work on it, you'll wish death on it.

Are you sure you are not stuck at their "easy setup wizards"? To me it seems unlikely that there won't be a webUI access. Which models specifically are you using?

Very convenient to force biometrics tied to user profiles... when you have centralized control of the system and delve in occasional data collection.

My superficial theory is that they probably invested for inside information, then somehow shorted them on their downfall.

If we have to rethink the browser is not because of the UI. We have to take the browser to the smartphones ecosystem and dethrone app platforms.

Maybe, an app-able solution that mimicks most or all of the stuff one can get from developing for app platforms — because it would provide crossplatform, it would create the necessary incentive to develop for it. Also, user privacy first and open source.

Did you pay ~USD$400 for a Doorbird doorbell ?
