  • There are a lot of smart engineers that design those.

    If you have an external temperature measurement it helps. But it can’t see the difference between a cloudy day and a sunny day.

    If you connect it to an online weather service that helps, but it’s still hard for it to know how much the sun heats your home due to big south facing windows for example.

    This is something AI could be useful for. Feed it forecast, inside, outside temp and let it figure out how to balance those against each other for your home. I’m not sure there are many systems like this on the market yet.


  • Does leasing the land pay enough to make it worthwhile? Gives you time to think.

    If it’s fertile land you should probably use it, or lease it, to grow food.

    Farming is not easy. Until you learnt to be good at it you’ll put in a lot of hours into making not much money after costs have been paid.

    At work we run some software that while you can get it to run under Linux it’s not worth the effort even for me to bother.

    One supplier is slowly moving towards the runtime being available on BSD at least. They also somewhat decoupled from visual studio in the latest release, while still being mandatory still it’s a step in the right direction.






  • If I buy steel for $1000 and pay 10% tariff the total cost is $1100

    If I make a car out of the steel and sell it I don’t pay any tariff. But I’ll charge $100 more because my steel cost was higher. (If someone abroad buys it their government may force them to pay a tariff, but I don’t see that directly).

    If I buy an engine I’ll pay the engine tariff, they don’t care if it’s made of aluminium, steel, wood or whatever. The custom officer will look at it and say that it is an engine and therefore it will be subject to engine tariffs.

    It’s always the total price of the thing you pay a tariff on. If you buy a car you pay the car tariff. If you disassemble the car and ship the parts in a box the customs official may decide it’s “car parts” and you pay the tariff on “car parts” which may be higher or lower.
