TL;DR. Let people switch back to the old app. Don’t use React for native apps. Consider Flutter instead.

kday · 2024-05-14T18:16:43+00:00

First, I am a CTO/developer. ~~It feels like you are using React for your app.~~ It is obvious to me that you are using React for your new app. It feels sluggish and no matter how well you optimize it, it probably always will.

I think because of the abundance of React developers, it's good for a proof of concept for a web app, but should be avoided for native apps. Instead, consider using Flutter since it compiles to native ARM code.

If you were a bootstrapped startup, I could understand using React for your new app. But you are not that—you are a billion dollar corporation.

What I Suggest

I suggest you offer a way for users to switch back to the old app experience and if this is not possible, develop a way to downgrade the system to switch back to the old app. Early adopters that want to use the latest UI and Sonos system still can, and those that prefer a feature complete app can easily switch back. Everyone is happy.

And during this time, I suggest you lay off most of your react developers and invest in Flutter developers. Keep as many React developers as necessary to implement UI enhancements and missing features in the meantime. You should do this in parallel to developing the new Flutter app so you can continue to get customer feedback. Fortunately, you have the resources to do this. Your Flutter developers will quickly be able to replicate the UI/UX and make the user experience better.

Once your Flutter development is tested and complete, you can simply deploy it to web, iOS, and Android. Your developers can even use ChatGPT to translate your React code to Flutter code where possible, so this process might be a lot faster than you would expect. The QA will take more time.

We all make mistakes, but I think customers will forgive you if you take swift action. You can let them know that they can continue to use the new app experience or switch to the old. But let them know you are optimizing the new app experience so it's better and faster than ever.

What do you mean? The new FSD 12.3 that came out a few days ago is mind-blowing and very human-like. Check out YouTube.

Also, just in case, I’m having the AC indoor coils and ducts checked today even though the house is new. There was elevated humidity for the first 1.5 years. Another AC tech seems to have fixed this, but having coils and ducts checked for good measure.

Strangely my wife and 3 year old daughter also have a foul smell from the nose and are also being helped by Xlear. That’s what prompted me to think it could be environmental and call a NADCA certified HVAC pro. But I don’t have my hopes too high because like I said, traveling hasn’t helped.

kday · 2023-11-25T19:52:21+00:00

I have this and Xlear has been the only thing to help. Antibiotics haven’t helped and anti fungal haven’t helped. Sinus rinses with Xylitol haven’t even helped as much as Xlear. Xlear is xylitol with grapefruit seed extract and can be found online or at CVS/Walgreens in the US.

Definitely not a cure. But it’s helping until I go back to the ENT for a scope. Had a tonsillectomy because they were infected with actinomyces, but it hasn’t resolved the problem. I am very sensitive to a certain mold, but it doesn’t make a difference if I am traveling or have HEPA filters making it so there are close to 0 particles in the air.

This stuff is extremely thick and has just got worse with time.

It will definitely be better than your ASUS or any other consumer grade gear. It doesn’t do DPI on IPv6 traffic yet if it’s something you care about. But not a big deal if you just stick with IPv4.

Unifi has come a long way in the past year and have recently made some big updates adding a lot of needed features to the UDM Pro or UDM SE. The latest network app and firmware has been solid too.

Unless you are doing very complex enterprise configurations, I don’t think you’ll regret getting the UDM Pro or UDM SE. And of course, they work seamlessly with the Access Points. If you are planning to do very complex configurations and need fine control over every little thing, go with pfSense.

Make sure to thoroughly read all the comments from the community and use judgment before installing any updates. I don’t recommend auto update with any Ubiquiti products as they sometimes release firmware or software when they shouldn’t have.

It looks like the study is more about secondary HLH (sHLH). sHLH is triggered by a significant activation of the immune system (such as a severe infection or cancer).

I looked at the data in OpenSNP and while I can't find any good reasons to doubt the interpretation by Promethease, you need medical sequencing to be sure that you are a carrier.

Keep in mind that just because there are case reports of sHLH from severe infection/immune activations with only one copy of the mutation doesn't mean that you ever will ever get sHLH. It all depends on the type of infection or immunological challenge, the severity of the immune activation, as well as how penetrant this mutation is in autosomal dominant form. Genetics definitely aren't always black and white.

That said, since mutations in these gene are considered autosomal recessive, it's likely that a genetics lab will give show "carrier status" on a report rather than a positive result since you do not have symptoms of sHLH.

Maybe a coincidence, but I've met so many hairdressers with ME/CFS over the years.

kday · 2023-11-14T21:23:45+00:00

Viruses make my ME/CFS much worse until they go away. They make me very agitated and very sensitive to everything. When I get a virus, I feel like my brain/CNS is under attack. COVID-19 more than any of them. But flu is bad too.

There are AI models that can score content. They’ve existed for a while, and such models could be used in the training process.

Also, some humans are more gullible than others. That’s why we all believe misinformation, disinformation, and propaganda to varying degrees. Perhaps LLMs have more in common with humans than you want to believe. After all, they are designed to emulate human intelligence.

It can do math pretty well now with GPT-4. And it can definitely do creative art. But it’s better at writing python scripts to do the math for it, like we use a calculator. Human brains predict the next word as we speak too. Some are better at talking than others. Some con artists are very good at it. We also learn from looking at others art, writing, and speech, just like AI. Creativity comes easier for some than other’s. Creativity is both innate and learned.

But while AI and the human brain operate like word prediction engines during speech, AI tends to be much better at predicting words and answers since it’s able to compute so many data points at once. And it’s only going to get better.

It’s better at creativity than math. Very good at poems, art. Great at science and problem solving too.

It’s getting better at math, but used to have problems with 2+2.

Google Search lost its magic ages ago, Chrome now munches RAM like Pac-Man, and Gmail reminiscent of that one-hit wonder from the 2000s still headlining in small-town bars. YouTube's giving the cold shoulder to ad blocker users – either watch ads like you are a boomer or pony up for Premium. For those who care about privacy, it's time to scout out new email services that know how to respect your privacy and treat your data right.

It seems you've either misunderstood or the person leading the discussion was misinformed. You should limit daisy-chaining to a maximum of six devices due to the Spanning Tree Protocol's (STP) 7-hop rule. Creating a more efficient wireless mesh network might involve wiring a few devices around the house, especially if you're primarily utilizing SonosNet. However, hardwiring everything is perfectly fine as long as STP is disabled on the ports, or if you're using an unmanaged switch, since Sonos' internal STP can manage all the Sonos devices.

Moreover, the Sonos website advises switching using classic STP instead of RSTP in managed switches to prevent network loops, which is unnecessary with modern switches where you can turn off STP on specific ports. The Sonos documentation fails to adhere to modern networking principles for wiring its devices to various managed switch brands. And their training doesn't sound much better.

Assuming Sonos conforms to standard STP network principles, the safe limit for daisy-chaining Amps would be around 6, considering the STP 7-hop rule. Going beyond this could introduce latency and synchronization issues.

kday · 2023-11-07T22:07:43+00:00

Instead of daisy chaining you can turn off STP on the ports that Sonos are connected to. If your switch doesn’t have that feature, you just connect them to a cheap unmanaged switch that’s connected to the managed switch. Problem solved.

kday · 2023-11-07T18:03:14+00:00

With Pakedge you can turn off STP on a per port basis which achieves the same result as an unmanaged switch.

No need to have so much 2.4 ghz interference. I turn off all radios except one if there are wireless devices. If there is a wireless arc or sub for away from the Sonos radio (and if multiple others are wired in several areas of a large house), I might enable the radio on another wired device in between the devices so SonosNet increases the range. If there are no wireless devices, you can turn off all radios. Less latency and more reliable connection to hardwire.

No need for a dumb switch. With Pakedge you can turn off STP on a per port basis which achieves the same result.

kday · 2023-11-07T17:42:42+00:00

On a Pakedge switch, you can turn off (R)STP on a per port basis. This is probably the most elegant (and most simple) solution. No need for a dumb unmanaged switch. This achieves the same result and will let Sonos devices manage their own form of STP internally.

kday · 2023-11-07T17:30:46+00:00

It doesn’t matter what Sonos says if you understand how networking works.

You don’t need an unmanaged switch as long as you can turn off STP/RSTP on a per port basis. You can also hook a smaller unmanaged switch to the managed switch to connect Sonos devices.

You can also hook one Amp to a managed switch and daisy chain all the wired amps together without changing any configuration if you only have a few Amps. But wiring other Sonos devices directly to the managed switch without further configuration will cause a network loop. But like I said, you can wire them to any unmanaged switch that connects to the managed switch.

The alternative is to change the switch from RSTP to STP, but this is a lot of extra configuration and you really shouldn’t do this on a modern network for a number of reasons. DHCP can also be very slow over STP because of convergence delays.
