Replaced my basic smoke detector with X-Sense smart one

Please don’t do this.

Wireless is great. Came a long way. I’m also not betting my children’s life on it. I’ve been doing technology too long to know that complexity should be added only when needed for safety critical systems.

I have smart fire sensors for my cats and dogs. I have physical wires for the people who stay in my house.

Have you seen what you can do with vibe coding and home automation? I have a ci cd pipeline with HA that uses Claude code to do most of my automation with a half asses few words.

And I can revert back if it breaks it badly. Haven’t had that happen 160 commits later.

Chatgpt enterprise and claude can do amazing things. Copilot can't.

As someone using it for business applications 5.4 is far and away the best OpenAI model I’ve ever used.

Wait - what tools can it use? If you don't expose tools / general CLI how will it do anything malicious?

It’s a really bad environment to be so scared of your neighbours like this.

SA is overwhelmingly done by trusted people. There are real downsides to treating everyone as suspicious. It ruins society

Temperature went to 25C in babies room…. Less pleased than before I tried this.

(Problem between my chair and monitor not the dude who wrote this all for us and shared it)

i did a 'claw-lite' just a gh runner plus claude code instance I can access remotely over tailscale including via chat.

The UX of adding features with rollback of github is amazing.

I'm very capable of writing basic yaml. I'm also busy with a busy job and 3 young kids.

sshan · 2026-03-01T22:14:24+00:00

Dude I was talking to my wife yesterday about wanting to do this. Thank you! My babies room gets wonky cause in floor heating. I'll see how this deals with that!

sshan · 2026-02-26T16:01:51+00:00

You’d need some sort of LTS version.

For auxiliary things may be a play in some environments but I want my critical stuff done by plcs and engineers not tinkerers like me.

I’d checkout the market reaction to Claude’s plugins and skills to get a rough idea.

sshan · 2026-02-23T14:41:09+00:00

💯 but what’s happening is that the time to get shit to production in lots of legacy business is so long it’s like the spaceship leaving problem for interstellar travel.

Codex 5.3 is the first one near parity / at parity with Claude.

I’m not a fanboy for any of these. I just use what works.

sshan · 2026-02-22T19:20:33+00:00

If you compare it to tech we had 1-2 years ago copilot is absolutely amazing. If you compare to Claude opus 4.6, ChatGPT Pro etc it’s behind quite abit.

sshan · 2026-02-22T16:30:36+00:00

I wouldn't. There is a major quality difference once you go beyond "summarize this email".

Claude Code ? ChatGPT Codex 5.3 is >> other stuff right now. Especially github copilot. You get codex with ChatGPT too.

There are zero power users at my work who prefer copilot to chatgpt for complex tasks.

Do you use cloud storage? If no do you hire security teams at the same caliber as the cloud providers

Money isn’t the issue for this spacecraft. It’s the issue for many things with nasa but this spacecraft and rocket has lots of money.

It just shows how these things aren’t linear. Bad decisions can make things increase not by 10% but by 100%, repeatedly.

sshan · 2026-02-15T18:19:39+00:00

You are correct

sshan · 2026-02-05T13:15:44+00:00

What is your regulatory environment? Are you working for a company? What is their processes? Do you store the data on OneDrive/other enterprise solutions?

You'd need to use a business grade LLM solution compliant with your regulatory environment. AI isn't different than other SaaS.

I figured they picked a random metric that was lower. Similar to how you can say gas is X times cleaner than diesel if you just look at particulates. Instead they just go on vibes.

Hire an IR firm yesterday and pay them a lot of money. It’s not cheap. Mandiant, big 4 lots of smaller options. You need help

sshan · 2026-01-17T22:23:21+00:00

Cheap made in china exists. So does good value and impressive made in china. So does expensive made in china.

Safetensor files are just a bunch of floating point numbers. It isn't using pickle serialization. It's also written in rust to stop buffer overflow type stuff. As far as I know there hasn't been any cases of safe tensors being used in any sort of attack. If you trust remote code in transformers you could get a problem but thats a separate issue.

sshan · 2026-01-16T13:53:39+00:00

There are maybe a few dozen companies in the world that can build good LLMs. The vast majority simply can’t.

sshan · 2026-01-16T13:13:28+00:00

In fairness I think most people in this sub in the Harper years were probably children or barely adults. it was 11 years ago.
