I think there's wisdom to that popular rejection/simplification: The promise of smart home didn't deliver. I guess I'm suggesting the cause might be partly unreliability. As we add sophistication, we shouldn't be necessarily trading away stability.

What's interesting is that as a rallying cry, what you're saying is close to original cyppherpunk ethics, let's say. But products expousing these ethics will only win if consumers choose them. And so these ethics will only survive in so far as they become effective memes that consumers demand. It may turn out that ethics don't matter if they're not memetically virile. Espousing or even embodying ethics without popularizing them may also be a tragic fail during a time we've never been more capable of measuring our own impacts. I treasure your attempts to articulate your vision of decentralization, thank you for sharing. I think your general diagnosis is right, and popularizing a solution is our challenging prompt.

Tell me about your AI health app. 1. How does it provide services relating to your data without leaking it? 2. How does it access the data efficiently and reason over it [and in light of the latest research]?

You know the term "failsafe"? It used to actually mean "if this fails, you're still safe" and be a virtue that was assumed for new technology. I may have imagined this mythical past, but we should still pursue it.

"I mean sure, sometimes I'm rushing to a room where there might be an emergency, and I want to turn on the light to see the potential blood spattering my walls so I can stop the source, but if it takes an extra sec, I just reminisce of all the convenient times that I was able to ask the AI to turn on the lights at unintuitive times" said no one ever.

What if some kind of low-bandwidth low-voltage wiring like i2c was just standard alongside any power line? utopia-gif.jpg probably, right?

The problem with modern smart home tech is that it all presupposes that no wiring is available: all communication must be wireless. This makes the whole thing unreliable and laggy, and is a crap long-term assumption. It makes the modern smart home tooling not worth using while it matures towards... more same.

I used to believe this until I learned of thermostatic knobs.

Looks like a manual update might help. 7.35.0

That's the one Tyson should've bought up probably.

That would mean there would have been infinite upside to betting he will, right?

Also actually the state logs could still be useful, since we're even more puzzled why they're stuck now (since the nonce seems to be correct).

I’m not aware of a copilot feature that lets you select code to edit, write a prompt, and mention other files to add them to context. I wouldn’t be surprised if this exists already and I haven’t found it or it will be added soon. These are not complicated features relative to the AI that it depends on.

It is real, I believe they’re going at $3MM each, but it does not come road legal on delivery, gotta bring your own justice (BYOJ).

I was thinking this but might just be waiting for an m4 macbook air for this kind of thing.

I still think the resest account button is the best bet here, it clears cache data that is used to calculate nonces, and early on that had led to clogs. I'm surprised if there's a new one, but it may be related to the relatively newer swap feature.

I bet settings > advanced > reset account will clear it out. This will clear the pending tx cache. It looks like somehow the nonce got way over-incremented with those swaps (unless you know you use this account a lot, like for txs 399-544). Maybe export your state logs for us first so we can see how that nonce got mis-incremented. Send it in to support.metamask.io and send me the ticket number. https://support.metamask.io/managing-my-wallet/using-metamask/how-to-download-state-logs/
