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.

Apparently warming is compounded by the eruption, low sulphur shipping fuel rules, low amounts of Saharan dust and changes by El Niño according to this: https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-how-low-sulphur-shippin...

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. :)

Charging network is the big one, the degree of which would vary based on your location.

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

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

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 not

I got it quoted. Basically would be around $50k CAN for heated floors (it's a big house). Ducted mini split heat pump (2 units to handle the house size) was $60k. Central hybrid gas-heat pump was $30k. I put in heated electric floo

I've only built two houses for myself that are large custom builds. Dont really know about kit homes. From what I hear that they dont really solve a ton of money as people always overestimate the cost of the structure and underestima

It'll likely depend whether it's a fixed cost build or a cost plus. With cost plus this will not nearly be as much of an issue.

If you built a 1000sf detached home in North America you'd have a hell of a time selling it later on outside of some very specific conditions as it'll not be much cheaper than a 1500-2000sf home. Home costs do not scale proportion

Some good, basic guidelines here. However a lot is going to depend on your local market and what the trades are familiar with. In smaller markets trying to push exotic techniques, technology or materials is going to be a recipe for suffer

This is what a builder would do in North America, they're the general contractor and will generally budget for you, manage the project and the trades. They'll ensure quality and be your point of contact. Typically where I'm

You might have trouble finding good builders for such a small job. Depends on the market I suppose. Also you'll run in to restrictions on some land, some areas will not let you build really small places that are out of proportion to

Sure, as I said, different geographies have different requirements.

It's expensive and it doesn't cool. Also doesn't circulate the air. I have some fancy filters and humidifiers as part of the system I'm putting in.

I have a sol-ark 12k which allows for grid isolation and a bunch of batteries.

Different geographies have different requirements. You're not likely to need to face a week or more of no power after an ice storm in -10'C in Ireland.

Living in the PNW, I'm building a new house and I've chosen a dual fuel hybrid heat pump system as per https://www.bryantbing.com/products/hybrid-heat/ I'll also have solar + battery. Should be abl

Check out the Athom box, available on Ali Express: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003776848515.html?spm=a2... It's an all in one with WLED on it. You just need a strip, some wire and a power supply.

I've been toying a lot with this recently. A tip for anyone that's interested, you can order a compatible LED strip from Ali Express for much cheaper than Amazon, though you're going to wait several weeks. For example, do

My 6.5yo has just gotten access to an iPad to do some learn to read training through a specific app. No other apps permitted. Before this there was no access at all to iPads or computers and very limited TV time. We'll continue to
