Eve Now Works With Home Assistant for Your Local Only Smart Home Needs
allthethings.best/eve-now-work
Eve, a smart home device maker based in Germany and now part of ABB, has joined the Works with Home Assistant program. This move means that a wide range of Eve products are now certified to work directly with Home Assistant, an open-source smart home platform.

If you’re a techie, interested in #hardware and #software systems you should know that an unnamed person has developed a chip that runs #python - natively. Python on hardware; no C, no VM, just a pure hardware implementation. And it’s 30x to 50x faster than alternative, non-hardware approaches. Use cases include #ML and #IoT and #sensors

Quantum Navigation via Magnetic fields.

Even when the equipment was mounted inside a plane, where interference is much worse, it outperformed existing systems by at least 11x. This is the first time quantum technology has been shown to outperform existing tech in a real-world commercial or military application, a milestone referred to as achieving “quantum advantage."

Not only for the military !

Interesting EngineeringNew quantum-based navigation tech beats GPS precision by 50 timesExplore the advantages of Q-CTRL's quantum navigation system that operates independently of GPS and offers unparalleled accuracy.

Just ordered some parts to prototype an experimental tactile interface for "feeling" visual textures.

I ordered a piezoelectric actuator, some through hole op-amps to drive it, a breadboard, some prototyping wire, some 1/8" prototyping jacks, an assortment of through hole resistors, and a big box of small plastic drawers to organize my parts.

I'm gonna drive the piezoelectric actuator by driving the op-amp with the audio out from my sound card on my PC. I'm planning to prototype a tiny MCU and tiny camera separately.

I'm so excited for this project.
