Structured outputs work well depending on the tasks. The example mentioned in the blog post output doesn’t say anything because we are missing the prompt/schema definition. Also quantity is quite ambiguous because it could be bananas as a term is readable once on the receipt.

I would love some more detailed and reproducible examples, because the claims don’t make sense for all use cases I had.

They still support svelte 4 syntax and announced today as well a new migrate CLI to help moving from svelte 4 to svelte 5.

CLI tool: https://github.com/sveltejs/cli

Edit: added the link to the CLI tool

Not sure why this was downvoted, but it made me laugh :)

For the next year I will dive deep in learning OTP and reading a lot of the source code (I’m an elixir developer, so probably mastering a bit more Erlang as well).

Also less lurking, consuming low quality information and publishing/writing more.

Really curious about experiences of people that use or used Ash in production. Are there any gotchas or is it really easy to work with?

When we can burn fossil fuels to impact the atmosphere that cause climate change then we can also pump other gasses that will have a cooling effect. We aren’t doing much at the moment because there aren’t economic incentives to do so, but that can change if we have policy changes.

My prediction is that geo-engineering will be done when a certain death/disturbance threshold will have been reached (too many climate refugees for example and western world can't achieve a closed border, or too many weather disasters that hit the western world and populations are convinced it is because of global warming). However I don't think we will reach it in the next 5-10 years, but maybe after that period.

Also curious if the earth maybe has some tricks (last one I can recall was more clouds were causing more cooling than expected in the climate models) that will invalidate the current climate change models.

You have more complicated ways to laundry crypto by having legit wallets profit from dirty crypto wallet ‘mistakes’. Think of doing swaps that are MEV profitable and you run it by your own node for example with a MEV bot

The amount of times that lastpass is hacked staggering (this article is about the breach of 2022), but I don’t understand why people still use it (except maybe because of some enterprise contracts)

If you are good at security, try bug bounty hunting. Make the web safer and earn some money!

Not sure what your skill set is exactly and what your interests are but there are lots of hackathons in crypto/AI that have good prizes. You can also apply for grants for certain organisations if you build something that ecosystem can use. Good luck!

This comment made my day! I'm going to give it a try and will convince my wife to test it to see if it helps :)

I agree with you, however historically the move from leaded fuel to lead-free fuel proved that we could do it or the protection of the ozon layer (one of the few times in history that we took collectively action against something damaging humanity, but it doesn't happen often enough). Curious what would cause a tipping point for improving air quality or any of the other multiple crises you mentioned and if we could learn something from history.

Unfortunately those masks are not protecting you against gases and vapours like sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, and carbon monoxide which do impact asthmatic people a lot or are the cause of developing asthma.

My wife has severe astma and when traveling this is something that worries me all the time. At home we have blue air machines and plants to filter the air, but astma attacks still happen (when she didn't use her medicines enough) when she travels from work to home on bad air quality days in Amsterdam. The astma medication is something that comes with a lot of trade-offs/health complications if you use it too much. Hope this will improve in future, but prevention would be even better.

I looked up the amount of people in the Netherlands that have health issues connected with air quality and it isn't negligible at all (1+ million on a 17,53 million population), but I don't understand why politically it doesn't get the attention it deserves.

Unfortunately I can't create this kind of machine (software eng, no hardware skills), but I think there is a very big market for portable masks with safe air to breath temporary when you are outside. Especially with all the research that has been done on how much air quality impacts your health.

Bit sad that this is the top comment. If you read other comments from Liberonostrud he shills Laravel all the time, which is fine but don't try to drag down other frameworks with misinformation and just keep it factual.

Used both frameworks and love their communities as well. Deploying Phoenix was always a pain point for new developers, but nowadays it is quite easy to do with fly.io. Also for real-time apps Phoenix is a bliss to use (think creating Figma collaboration features/experiences where you can use the Presence module and create a channel to follow the cursors of others for example). If you ever consider choosing between Laravel or Phoenix and you want to implement collaboration features, Phoenix would always be my choice.

Blue light filter mobile screen protector. Improved my sleep a lot (average Fitbit sleep score was around a 7 and increased to 8).

Currently building as well flutter apps but it’s taking a lot of time in comparison with the webapp and operations dashboard

The manufacturer earns money by selling the hotspots, so not sure what you mean tbh. I think wat you are describing is a anti virus scheme like Norton 360 and Avira are doing by install/hack into PCs with hidden PoW mining code which is unethical/horrible . Bit weird to claim this for a hotspot that hasn’t a connection to your PC and trying to slander something without investigating it properly. I get the blockchain hate (especially PoW), but unfair to accuse every project of unethical behavior if there is no proof whatsoever.

I got some airly (https://airly.org/en/products/airly-sensor/) air quality sensors in my neighborhood that are using Helium and you can see other solutions that are using https://www.helium.com/ecosystem. Not sure about the actual usage over time from sensors vs new hotspots joining the network and paying the DC fee, but I'm following https://twitter.com/HNT_DC_Burn and this should increase if the Helium network will be adopted more by sensors/IoT companies. Also the 5G hotspots they are providing in the US will probably add some value as well. You can check the helium twitter feed for companies they partner with or are using the helium network.

This is what Elon said about PayPal growth strategy:

ELON MUSK: Yeah. Well, we started off first by offering people $20 if they opened an account. And $20 if they referred anyone. And then we dropped it to $10. And we dropped it to $5. As the network got bigger and bigger, the value of the network itself exceeded any sort of carrot that we could offer.

Helium is trying the same thing (only decentralized) with the proof of coverage algorithm and rewards (which are diminishing by a halving process every two and a half years I think) so that the network can sustain itself. Please let me know why the cognitive dissonance is astounding because their proof of coverage hotspot rewards look a bit more advanced to the growth strategy PayPal used and they hope the network will be sustained by data transfer only when the rewards are not given anymore. (https://cdn.codetober.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/1111471...)

Ok, I will bite :) The gateway rewards are becoming less and less every month because more gateways join the network. So in a certain way that feels like a pyramid scheme because the people that joined earlier have an advantage (they also took the most risk by backing this project in a early state). It is quite normal to reward the first movers to your platform (PayPal even gave away free money to grow their user base)

There is a twitter account that publishes the DC burn rate hourly/daily/weekly: https://twitter.com/HNT_DC_Burn. Last week they burned $1,064,348 in data fees so the revenue is way higher than the 3 million per year you described, but you make a fair point for the gateway activation fee and not sure how much of the DC burned is because of this. But focusing on growth by giving out rewards for early hotspots is not a weird tactic and the question is indeed if the pricing make sense for the long run. Nowadays most priced stocks or other assets don't make any sense to me as well, so I would have agreed with you 10 years ago, nowadays I'm not so sure. They are also expanding to the decentralized 5G market and the packets send will be way more than the LoRaWan network, so I think that is priced in the helium price as well at the moment.

Your last statement I don't really understand. If you participate in a network by investing/running the hotspot you would want a compensation and nowadays a gateway would earn less than 600 dollars a year because of the increased hotspot amount. There will be an equilibrium that the market decides otherwise people would shutdown their hotspots.

Helium network is also battling bad actors in the network and even though the have anti cheat measures in place they are currently voting on a deny list approach to target bad actors as well.

Also the internet of things devices are not running the blockchain but can (energy) efficiently transfer data to the helium network. The hotspots are also quite efficient if you look at the power usage (more similar to a light bulb instead of a proof of work miner)

It’s on their homepage (helium.com) with the following text:

‘’’ Powered by the Helium Blockchain, The People’s Network represents a paradigm shift for decentralized wireless infrastructure. ‘’’

They use the blockchain in combination with a proof of coverage algorithm to reward hotspots. https://docs.helium.com/blockchain/proof-of-coverage/

Helium network is an example of a successful blockchain project/application in my opinion. They created the biggest decentralized lorawan network in the world that is used by more internet of things companies everyday. Also they are trying the same thing for creating a decentralized 5G network. It’s still early days for them because I think they started in the end of 2020 or the start of 2021, but they have grown to 490000 lorawan hotspots already. The network usage could be better, but is increasing (saw increased sensor data activity for my hotspot in 2021).

This is not true because you can pay yourself 68k as normal income/salary and the rest as dividend which will lead to 40% tax rate. Which is still a high tax rate, but not more than half.

What works for me is Linkedin to be honest and recruiters will approach me or my Dutch developer friends for freelance contracts where they basically take a cut of the hour price (most of the time they take 10-15 euros/hour). Also being asked because of people that (pleasantly) worked with you is common as well and you could approach them to see if they need another freelancer for a project.
